STOCKS RALLY
AFTER WEAK
OPENING
High Priced IndustriaIs and
Other Stocks Show Strength
in Closing Session
International News Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9.-Opening
under continuation of the selling
pressure which featured the market
In the last two hours of yesterdays
session, the stock market exhibited
rallying tendencies today, and prices
In practically every department Of
the market advanced moderately
before the end of the first hour.
The copper stocks were the first
to point the way to higher prices,
large blocks of stocks like Cerro de
Pasco, ,Kennecott, Utah, Chile and
American Shelters being taken at
slight advances over the previous
close. Outside Of the Van
Sweringen stocks, Canadian Pacific
and Norfolk and Western, the rails
were weak at the beginning, and
showed little improvement as the
session wore on. Nickle Plate and
Pere Marquette were the leaders in
the former group advancing briskly
In the early trading3 though neither
Of them attained the high price
levels reached yesterday.
Cast Iron Pipe was under further
pressure in the first period, on re-
ports that the pool in this stock was
liquidating a large block. Later in
the session, it firmed up, and ad-
vanced from 9212 to above So.
Foundation Company maintained it's
lead in the dividend industrials,
reaching a new high for the year
above 70 today as buying demand
increased. High priced industrials
like American Radiator, National
Lead, American Can, Pullman,
Sears, Roebuck and Woodwork dis
played conspicuous strength and
Canadian Pacific Railroad at 1891
sold into new high ground for the
year. Oils were somewhat reac-
tionary, though rally was in
progress in Pan-American, Phillips
and other stocks which reacted
under pressure near yesterdays
close.
Favorable developments in domes-
tic industry and foreign negotia-
lions provided no special stimulus
for any Of the speculative markets.
Weekend economic reviews were as
favorable as they have been hereto
fore and a gain in industrial pro-
duction Is generally predicted for
the season Immediately ahead. In
activity in the stock market today
may easily be credited to apathy
on the part Of outside traders and
absence Of number Of profession
ais from the market place. Grain
and cotton markets shared this
apathy and bonds though inactive
showed no reactionary trend.

Building Operations Gain

Aside from few cities in the
Southwest and one or two in the
East, most centers of the country
have experienced the largest volume
of building operations in their his.
tory during the last two years. Even
throughout the periods of general
business inactivity construction
work manifested no apparent re.
cession, the majority Of cities in.
cluded in the special reports to
Dun's Review this week, showing
gains of from 20 to go per cent
over the total valuation of new
structures erected in the first seven
months Of 1923. Industrial work
has kept pretty much apace with
dwelling house erection, except in
the Middle West, where the latter
predominated. In the Far West
commercial buildings were we'll to
the fore. With the exception of
bricklayers and plasterers, labor is
plentiful, and no important wage re.
visions have been made during the
year.

T0BE WORK
Of ART
New Feature at lie Paradis to
Be Ready for Opening
on Monday

The new Venetian room at LIE
Paradis, which viii be opened on
November "a, will be, according
20 competent judges, the most
costly and beautiful place of its
type in the east. The decorative
scheme Of the room has been
planned by Mrs. Meyer Davis, the
young wife of the orchestra king,
and no expense or trouble has been
spared to make the room represen-
tative Of the best authentic tradi.
ton Of the period when the
Doges ruled Venice.
The color scheme of the room
will be worked out in jade green
and pink, with frequent use Of
antique gold. Panelled walls OF
faint pink, hangings Of Jade green
and gold metal brocade and elabor.
ate painted furniture will produce
an ensemble both rarely beautiful
and unique among the resorts Of
the country.
Carefully Planned.
Every angle Of the room has
been carefully planned so as to
secure the most picturesque per-
spective. Thus the entrance view
discloses loaded windows framed in
heavy brocades and with antique
Venetian lanterns as the complet-
ing touch. The gorgeously hand
painted Venetian door is thanked by
long mirrors framed in antique
gold.
Many handsome ''show pieces" of
furniture are scattered about the
room which resembles a handsome
dining room in private home. One
of the finest is set Of carved table
with a pink marble top and match
ing mirror. Another interesting
group includes a cair Of Venetian
benches and ! low marble topped
table with smoking accessories.
The floor is of black and white
marble covered partially with a.
tete de negre rug. Chairs are in
dull brown antique finish and touches
Of green and gold, while the seats
are covered with taffeta striped in
green and gold.
Decorated Boudoir.
The Venetian room does not repre-.
sent Mrs. Davis first venture into
the decorating field. Several years
ago she planned the LIE Paradis
ladies' houdoir.
The Venetian room and the new

Ing attractions with the well estab.
lshed Cafe LIE Paradis. Both will
open on the evening of November
"a. the former being available Cor

MODERNISM PLAYED
 BY BAPTIST PASTOR
Rev. John StrattOn Calls It OH-
 spring Of German Militarism

Milwaukee. Wis, May 27.-Funda-
 mentalists again will hold the center
 Of the stage today in the preconyen-
 ton meeting of the Northern Baptist convention, which conyenes here to-
 morrow, through the medium Of the
 Baptist Bible Union, an arras of the leading supporters of the orthodox creed will take the rostrum to sound further tenets of the platform that is aimed to stifle modernst dogma, if any appears in the coming convention,
 The speakers who will advance the fundamentaIist program at the scs- slons today are Dr. W. E. Riley. Min neapolis; Dr. T. T. Siclds Toronto; Dr. J. Frank Norris, Fort Worth, Tex; Dr. J. w. Porter, Louisville, Ky. and Pastor William Fetler, general di- rector Of the Russian missionary so- ciety. Other pre-conSention meetings scheduled today were the social sery- ice commission, annual business meet ing of the foreign mission society, and the conference of rural church direc- tors.
 Attacking modernism in the Bap- tist church as the offspring of Ger nan militarism and rationalism, and denouacing the modernists as mater ialists who seek to destroy the fun1a- menials of religious faith, the Rev. John Roach Straton, fundamentalist leader of New York city, swept an audience Of some S1o members into nroIAnraI ai lac night.
 He charged that the radical aIl revolutionary viewpoint" Of the moi ernists has been officially adopted by those who are nov in dominating con trol Of the Baptist denomination and that this program of false teaching has been put across without the knowledge and consent of the great rank and file Of our people,"
 Dr. straton declared that the for eign millionsry fields have fallen un- der the domination of modernism and that the poor heather people Of ln- dia and China and Japan are being deluded by the false teaching of ra- tionalism and modernism, and are be- | ing baptized nninformed as the tre- ' mendous truths of Christianity, unre- 1 generated, and sent out as workers io thus mislead others in turn"
