America the best operating conditions that exist anywhere on the
face OF the earth. The men are getting steadier employment,
higher wages, an opportunity to buy stock in their companies, gen
erous pensions in old age, an insurance for their families. No gov
eminent owning its railroads is giving to the employees conditions
anywhere near comparable. After studying the proposition pre-

which now exist for those advocated by Senator La Toilette. 20 w

JUNIOR MUSIC STUDY CLUB HAS OPEN MEETING

Saturday afternoon at o'clock some 20 odd young people met at Cable Hall for the opening meeting of the Junior Music Study club. A glance at the personel of this group was quite sui ficient to stamp them as splendid representation of the young intelligentia of Birmingham. To observe the manner in whcih the meeting was conducted and the recognize the quality of the program which was rendered was to be reassured about the cultural and artistic future of the city. Elizabeth Stone, in the chair, presided with grace and poise not surpassed by any senior Tn Birmingham, and the sense of efficiency displayed by the club in the conduct of business might well prove an example to many of the more venerable organl- cations of the city.
 A miscellaneous program was pre- sented featuring some of Birmingham most promising young artists. One of the happy phases of the club is the opportunity it provides for young artists to become thoroughly familiar with the sensations of appearing in public, and the easy sOphistocation of those appearing on yesterdays program precluded the possibility of any amate- ursih impressions.
 The program was as follows:
 Piano solo, by "Polichinelle," (Rach- manin0ff) by Joice Lyons.
 Two songs, "A Dream of Garden of Sunshine" and Star of the South"

WHEAT SHOWS
 NEW STRENGTH Rise Follows Report Of UnsOld Surplus Ui
 46,OOO,OOO Busbels

CHICAGO. Nov. 26.-Owing largely to a report that the United States at present has an unsold wheat surplus of about 46, ,000, ,O00 bushels, the wheat market developed sudden new strength today. Closing quotations on wheat were firm at 1L to 2c net gain, De- cember. S1.543s 61.54k, and May, $1.62hs 61.62%. with corn F to 1ac up; oats unchanged to ssc higher and provisions varying from Ice decline to rise Of 40c.
 !t was near the end of the day be- fore the estimates were current which indicated the rapid disappearance Of do- nestle supplies of wheat. Lower quota tions at Liverpool were depressing factor. On the declines buying quickly enlarged and rallies followed Witn sell CTS few at the finish.
 Reports that domestic farm reserves of wheat are unusually light TOT tnis time of the year gave added impetus to the inward swing of the market dur ing the late trading. Further north west receipts were much smaller than a week ago and Duluth advices point ed to a likelihood of a diminished ar rivals hereafter. Messages from Kansas City today said milling grades were scarce and that shipments from the country were next to nothing.
 Upturns in the value of corns ana oats were due almost entirely to wheat strength, Fine weather prevailing was a bearish influence and the country was said to be selling a little more freely to arrive.
 Prospective scarcity of hogs before the winter is over continued to stimu- late a good demand for provisions, es- pecially lard.

COTTON QUIET
 ON EVENING UP
General Market Closes Steady, One Point Lower
 To Six Higher

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-The cotton market was quiet today with trading attributed largely to the evening-up of accounts in preparation for tomorrow's holiday in the American markets. Jan uary sold off to 23.s0c in the early trad ing, but later rallied to 24.0Sc, or IT points above yesterdays closing quota tion. Il closed at 23.90c under a re- newal of realizing or liquidation, the general market closing steady, net l point lower to points higher.
 The market opened steady at a de- cline of points to- an advance of 3 points and eased off under a little southern selling, local and commission house liquidation. Active months sold about 8 to Il points net lower, December declining to l23.6Sc and March to 24.10c. Further light offerings of December were absorbed against sales of the later months, however, and the market stead fed up at midday on reports of steady southern reports and rumors that trade interests were accommodating contracts in a moderate way on the declines.
 December later rallied to 23.S9c and March to 2441c, making net advances of about 15 to "A points, but the market met another furry of realizing or liq- uidation in the last few minutes and sold off several points from the best
 Additional December notices repre- senting about 2S00 bales were reported today, but were evidently without much effect on the market as December closed within 15 points of January, compared with IF points at the close of Tuesday.
 Private cables reported rather freer offerings of actual independent but the market was steady on trade calling. According to one of the reports reach ing here from a Liverpool firm. trade buying there was due partly to fears regarding the adequacy of supplies of cotton with a good staple.
 Exports today, 29,426, making 2,936,- 239 so far this season. Port receipts, 61 OPT bales; United States port stocks, 1,49s POP.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Nov, 26.-The cot ton market was a comparatively quiet affair z day, trading being checked by the impending Thanksgiving holiday in both the American markets tomorrow. While the bulk of the trading consisted of realizing and evening up transactions there was also moderate trade buying and price fixing by mills. This served to cause a moderate net advance Of 12 to IA points, on all of which was lost in the last quarter of an hour of trading.
 At the start Liverpool came in rath- CT better than due but this fact was ignored by the local contract market first trades showing more or less ir- regularity, being to 15 points down on near months and one point up on more distant positions. The market eased off after the call mainly on realizing in advance of the impending holiday. Prices soon became steadier and ad- vanced gradually during the greater part of the session on more or less trade buying, some short covering and on price fixing as we'll as on the strength of the stock market. Prices eased off near the end on realizing all the days gain being sacrificed. The close showed a net gain of 1 point on December and net losses of l to points on later months.
 Trading was mainly professional, there being little interest shown in the market by the outside public. Total exports for the day, 29,426 bales.

STOCK VALUES
 SURGE UPWARD < INT0 NEW HIGHS
 UNlU INLW IakW116
Many Premier Industrials Respond To Flood Of
 Buying Orders

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Stock prices were carried into new high ground to- day when the entire list surged up ward in the wake of vigorous rally III ', the steel shares. Many premier lnous- trials responded to a heavy outpourlng of buying orders, overcoming an early period of irregularity and resisting a final outburst of selling in the last re" minutes. Total sales exceeded the r. 10000 share mark for the eleventh time since election day.
 Predictions by E. H. Gary, chairman of the United States Steel corporation, that the steel industry soon would be operating at capacity, the cheerful tenor of the weekly steel trade reviews and further increases in pig iron and fin ished steel prices stimulated the broad demand for the steel shares. United States Steel common, leading the rally, sold at 119h, the highest price in seven years Last minute selling drove Il back at the close, however, to 1lSA, where it showed net gain of A.
 The rise in the steel shares, which be- gan with spectacular jump of points in Crucible, brought about an upturn of prices in the general list which had displayed marked irregular ity in the early trading. American Can, General Electric and United States Cast Iron Pipe were forced to absorb heavy liquidation at the outset and again were subjected to selling pressure at the close, yielding 26 to 3A points.
 Strength of other leading industrials, however. was well sustained. In ad- dition to United States Steel and Cru cible, new 1924 top prices were estab- lished by several othef steel shares, in- ciuding Sloss-Sheffield, Gulf States And Inland.
 Scoring a 1O-point advance, Commer- oio tS nP @ lures of the late trading. Net gains of 2 to points were registered by wide variety of issues, including United States Realty common and preferred, American Water Works, Savage Arms, American Wool, American Radiator and Federal Light and Traction preferred, several of which sold at new maximum prices. Other new high records em- braced Studebaker, American Interna- tional corporation, Corn Products and Texas Gulf Sulphur.
 The revival of interest in industrials diverted attention from trading in rail- road stocks, although Pittsburg and West Virginia and Western Pacific pre- ferred responding to favorable dividend rumors, led several issues to new high ground. Among these were St. Louis Southwestern preferred, Union Pacific, Canadian Pacific and Southern rail way.
 An advance in the call money rates from 2h to per cent in the last hour failed to slow up trading. Time money rates showed little change, 60-day loans remaining at 8 per cent and 90-day ac- commodations ruling A of one per cent higher. Commercial paper rates were unchanged.
 Foreign exchanges were firm, reflect ing an improvement abroad resulting from the success of recent foreign loans and the lessening influence of cotton and grain bills on the market Sterling was nearly a cent higher at $4.63ss, and French francs moved up about 2 points to around 5.3S cents.
