Habits. too, influence consumers in

less than men, have acquired rather
fixed habits which cost them consid-
cradle money. Some of this money Is
expended to crafty good habits and
some to satisfy bad ones.

While the American beauty bill was

bacco bill was growing. The men
burned up $780, 900, 900 in cigars and

BRISK ADVANCE IN OILS IS FEATURE

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.--A brisk ad- vance in the oil shares, predicted on the reported reduction in production at the Powell field in Texas, was the feature of todays active curb mar ket. Net gains ranged from small fractions in such issues as Standard of New York, Vacuum and Mutual to 9la points in the case of Prairie Oil and Gas. Other strong spots in the oil group were Cumberland Pipe, Illinois Pipe. Imperial of Canada, Pennsylvania-M Mexico fuel, South Pennsylvania Oil and Standard of Ohio, the net gains ranging from 2 to points although the turnover in some issues were small.
 Park and Tilford, the most active issue in the industrial list showed a net loss of F point. Lehigh Valley coal advanced 11h, Kresge new stock and Glen Alden fractionally. Only 400 shares of William Wrigley, Jr., were traded in the closing price showing a slight recession. Dunhill International was admitted to trad ing, moderate activity taking place at prices between 30 and 2S 3-s.
 Establishment of a new high rec ord by Hawthorne Mines at 5S was the feature of the mining group, in- terest Tn which was again confined to the penny issues.

Stock Letters
KAHN BROS. AND VIRGIN

NEW YORK, N. T., Nov. 26.-StoclS averages are points above the lows of last August and still 2 points below the highs of the year. Tho market is well under control of speculative interests and there Is every indication of continued ad- vancing prices. Even some of the statis- ticians have modified their bearish views and are turning mildly bullish.
 The steel business is gaining momentum and there are rumors of big mergers in the automobile and oil industries, which, when they become operative, will speed mp business still more. Added to these we may expect the rail situation to be taken care of along the same lines. New York Central was especially strong today, moving up to 104. It is expected that they will want to do some new financing in the near future an dto do this they must retire $5,100 900 bonds and the stock must sell at 100 to do this successfully. Reading is another one that looms up strong.
 Among the oils special strength was noted in Phillips Petroleum and the Pan-Americans. also slight recessions fol- lowed. Maxwell Motors A. which has been very cratic lately. dropped off 1 points, while Cast Iron Pipe advanced 3. Davison Chemical was up to g.
 The market was forced to absorb con siderable selling at time both for profit taking and other reasons which gave it an irregular appearance.
 In the afternoon Baldwin and Lima de veloped a strong tendency and was in fairly active demand.
 The oils made greater gains last week than at any time since last spring when the first cut was made and all indications point to a better outlook for the list difficulty in getting under way.-Fenner

COFFEE FUTURES

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The market for coffee futures was higher today. Notices representing about 2,00O bags is- sued against December contracts but the coffee appeared to be wanted and De- cember sold up to 10.10c on covering by shorts making a new high record for the season. The strength of the near month was reflected by the late deliveries and. after opening to 12 points higher the market closed at net advance of 10 to 20 points. Sales were. estimated at about 3s.o0o bags. Closing quota lions: December 10.10c; March, s.97c; May. s.45c; July, s.3oc; September, s,0sc; october. S05c. Spot coffee steady; Rios 111sc; Santos 4s, 14H @15. The cost and freight market was somewhat irregular but generally firmer. The offers included part bourbons 4s and 5s at 14@14%c and Rio Is at 1O.1Oc for prompt shipment. The official cables showed decline of 40 reis in the dollar buying rate with advance of 13-3a pence in Rio exchange on London. The Santos market was 25 reis lower to 100 reis higher and Rio was 100 reis lower to 175 reis higher. Bra lillian port receipts 47.0o0; Jundiahy re- ceipts 10000. Santos cleared 90,7o0 for the United States.

BOND TONE FIRM,
 MOVEMENTSSHOW


 NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-While in vestment bankers seemed agreed to- day that absorption by the public or the many large offerings of new bonds recently was progressing slowly, movements in the bond trad ing on the New York stock exchange indicated firm tone. Today's mar ket, however, was slightly less ac- tive than recently.
 High grade investment railroad mortgages were in demand and gem orally advanced while the secondary issues slumped through lack of buy CTS. Dealers report that recent rall- road issues have been taken by in- vestors about as rapidly as they were offered. Some of the sugar, copper and miscellaneous industrial lines displayed moderate strength but numerous others fell off, no tably the Central Leather 5s, which receded to a round S91a, new low for the year. Outside buying of pubic utility liens continued to hold that market up, a sizeable number nov Ing slightly higher.
 Trading in the foreign group was dull and price changes generally unimportant. Most of the Liberty issues of the United States govern ment improved, the one exception being the third Liberty HAS, when declined 1-S2 of a point.
 Public offering will be made to morrow of s7,700,o00 3 to 12 year 6 per cent serial gold notes Of the Gen eral Cigar company, at prices 10 yield to 6.59 per cent, according to maturity.
