New York. Nov. 25.-The pace ol
trading In stocks gave signs of slack
ening today, but the market was gal
vanized into a fresh burst of activity
just before the close when United
States Steel common led brisk rally
In leading industrial and railroad
shares. Price averages of both
groups eclipsed their previous 1921
high records, with the general aver
age of all stocks going to the highest
levels in years. Total sales fell
slightly below 100000 shares.
Fifty new high records were estab
lished during the days trading
Heavy selling of American Can, which
followed official denials that a stock
dividend was under consideration, al
one time caused general liquidation
These reactionary tendencies were
overcome, however, by the heavy flow
of buying orders which poured into
the market In the last hour.
A 2point rise in United States Steel
carried the price of that stock to
1f7h, the highest point reached since
1919. Buying apparently was based
on growing confidence in the indus
j. try's outlook, which was voiced later

ing demand for iron and steel prod.

today by States Attorney Robert F
Grove.
koretz IL now under only one IN
dictment, the charge being that of
operating a confidence game. By in.
creasing the number he can be held
under high bonds while awaiting trial,
the prosecutor said.
A brother, Ferdinand Koretz, is a
member of the grand jury, and should
new true bills against the Bayano
River Trust head be sought the
brother would probably be permitted
TO absent himself from the sittings.
States Attorney Grove also indi.
Gated today that he would oppose any
move upon the government part TO
have koretz tried first in the federal
courts The United States district at
torney. Edwin A. Olson, has asserted
that the governments case is the
stronger and would assure heavier
penalty and therefore should be tried
first. 1t is possible under the federal
law for district judge to issue a
writ OF habeas corpus for Koretz and
thus force the state to turn him over
the government.
Wife Not Poor.
Another move which the prosecutor
said he will oppose Is the announced
intention of the sheriff TO serve a
capias on Koretz when be reaches
Cook county. Grove said that the
swindler was his prisoner and he in
tended that he should remain as such
until the states case was disposed Of.
1t was ascertained today that Mrs

which had been purchased for SIS,

HINTS ON STORAGE
OF SUMMER CLOTHES

The proper storage Of summer
clothes is a matter now being
considered by many housewives.
The summer things which will
not be used again until May or
June should be stored in such a
way that they will be protected
from moths and dust.
The important thing is to
have dry storage space. with the
clothes, scrupulously clean. pack
ed in as little room as possible
and labeled" says Bessie C. Will
lis, clothing specialist with the
University Of Minnesota's agri-
cultural extension service.
"Woolens and furs demand the
greatest care" Miss Willis adds.
The summer fur should be whip
ped and aired or cleaned If neces-
sary. II can be put with clean
sport sweaters and wool hose in
a suit box with moth balls in it.
Summer underwear. dresses, ETC..
should be Numbered without
starch and put in a box. The
box. if wrapped. will insure
against SCOT or dust sitting in.
Shoes to keep their shape
should either be put on shoe
trees or stuffed with paper and
put in a box out of the dust.
The summer wool suit should
be thoroughly cleaned and hung
on a padded coat hanger so it will
not be a mass Of wrinkles in the
spring. Cover with a bag made
from an old sheet or nightgown.
then use a paper bag for a second
cover. Slip an extra square of
cloth over the hook Of the coat
hanger to keep SCOT or dust from
sitting in. This can be hung at
the back Of the closet if there is
no other place. II should be in
spected occasionally, but if it is
perfectly clean il will not be so
attractive to the moths.
"A moth-proof chest for wool
ems may be made from a wooden
box with a tight cover. Line
this with taxpayer; as an extra
precaution moth balls or some
other moth preventive may be
used"
