OPENING
Sharp Gains Made by Oils, v.
S. Steel. American Can
and Other Leaders
BY IInternatlonal News service.

NEW YORK. oct. 3O.-After an
irregular and sluggish opening in
which gains and loses in stock prices
were evenly divided, the oil stocks
led modest forward movement In
the stock market today. reflecting
the further decline in crude oil pro.
duction to $4,000 barrels daily below
The September peak.
The British election result was
reflected in a strong market for
sterling exchange, with demand stcr-
ling up nearly 2 cents at 451M
Rut, this was without apparent
effect on the stock market. After
the influx Of early buying orders
had been filled, the whole market
returned to the narrow rut in
which it has been moving since
Monday. Another decline in call
money renewals brought the rate
hack to 2 per cent. but this also
failed to stimulate buying demand.
Short covering Of industrial
stocks in the first period accounted
for a sharp advance in American
Can, Cast Iron Pipe, General Elec.
trio, ETC., from to points, and
United States Steel gained point
at 108N. Mallinson Silk maSie a
new high on the move ut 28% up
nearly points from last weeks
low; American Tobacco gained 2
points more and sold at 1G7, frac-
tionally below the high price Of the
year.
The remarkable gain in Atchi.
sons earnings in September and
the persistent rumors with respect
to a probable increase in the divi-
dend rate on the common stock led
to heavy buying Of that stock 20.

Sears Roebuck rose to 4 new high
price for 1924 at 11S at the head of
the mercantile stocks, in n move

r1ents' Orchestra Has Had
Unusual Career

One oG the most iTlteres ding muhi-
cal conductors In town Is Frederick
Arundel. who directs the Hugo
Resented accompaniment In THE
Ten CommandmentH' at the Ma.
tionRl. Mr. Arundel came from
London specially to conduct this
score. He was educated at the
Royal College Of Music, BY Kullack
In Berlin, and at the Ecole MusiQue
In Paris, and for the last dozen
years Of his life has devoted him
self here to the INSTRUMENTATION Of

upon the fine storm scene Of

nary orchestra Is not capable.

Orchestras Compared.
How do English and American
orchestras compareg" was asked,
my London orchestra was very
fine-the best men Of London re.
lected from the big symphony or
CARNATIONS. But the musicians 4
have brought to Washington are
no whit Inferior. You, will have
some idea Of the difficulty Of my
task when l state that each set
Of instruments strings, WOO wind,
and brass has to be rehearsed
separately. It Is mistake to think
that In such big productions the
brass predominates. The propor-
tons are 80 per cent strings, 25 per
cent Woodwinds, and rs per cent
brass, with, in addition, tympani
and drums Tor percussion. Some Of
the players are I'M the ne, and
others on the stage behind the

A big advantage to Arundel Is his
ability to direct with equal facility
