STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Trading in the stock market Monday was resumed on spectacular scale, many of the special ties making new highs and also some of the batter rails. U. S. Cast Iron Pipe advanced $11 per share, Worthington Pump shot up over SIP per share, Atchi- son, Baltimore and Ohio, and others Of the better rails made new highs.
 Total sales for the day approximated 1,773,900 shares.
 At the close Saturday industrial av- erages of Dow, Jones and company were at a ney high for the year. After three or four days of irregularity, pro- fit taking and speculative short selling the market has snapped back quite cas- fly and the fact that the averages went to a new high after this period of hesi- tation undoubtedly will be taken as a strong indication of continuing strength and higher prices. There are doubtless many traders who tried the short side last week but who have had little luck. Aside from the strength in the Van Sweringen group, strength in B. & O.. was impressive today. Reading Com pany acted well today and we do not believe this stock Is unduly high at cur rent figures, and think it can be bought for further appreciation.
 Those who are awaiting a setback in the motor stocks might look at some of the gains registered last week. The mo- tors are having a pretty fair advance right now and ought to be further em- phasized before the end of this week. Steiner, Rouse & Stroock.

DAYS OPERATION IN MONEY MARKET
 TOTALS BILLION
Call Funds Reduced To 3 Per Cent, Reflecting
 Passing Of Strain
By TODD W. WRIGHT I.eased Wire f0 Age-Hera1d)

NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Easier call money, with it's reduction to 3 per cent, reflecting the passing of the strain which preparations for today's huge turnover had exerted upon the money market, and the further broad and viz orous advance on the stock exchange were the outstanding points in Mon days financial markets.
 Operations in the money market in volved $1,0OO, O,O0O,0 ,0O0, which included the income tax payments for the final quarter, government disbursements Of interest, collections on the new treas- ury issue, exchanges of treasury notes and the payment of interest and amor | tization on the British debt. Rate Is Reduced The net result of these operations, in teresting because of their magnitude, was to reduce call money from 3h to | 3 per cent
 About two score of the stocks reached new high levels for the year, including both industrials and rails, in one of the most aggressive sessions in the present bullish market. Strong buying power was in evidence from the outset and the advances in many of the stocks were little short of spectacular. United States Cast Iron Pipe, leading the up- l rush, gained 1872 points and was close ly followed by General Electric, which, under the stimulus of heavy buying, jumped ' points.
 Bond Trading Curtailed Trading in bonds was sharply cur tailed. The new treasury per cent bonds were introduced to trade selling at premium of over one-half point. Aside from a sharp break in Chinese government bonds and strength in some fthe speculative rails, nothing of any importance happened in the bond mar ket. Foreign exchanges were quiet and the same was true of commodities and cotton.
 Mercantile reporting agencies told of further gains in manufacturing lines, with greatest progress again shown in the steel districts. Statistics on No vember foreign trade showed another strong balance in favor of the United States and disclosed both imports and | exports moving in greater volume than in the same month last year.

CTOCKS of zinc in the country de-
 clined 7,268 tons during October, &C.,
 O cording to figures supplied by the American Zinc institute. At the end of last month, the surplus amounted to 38,452 tons, as compared with 45,720 tons at the end of September and 50,922 tons on August 31. At the corresponding period in 1923, however, stocks were as low as 25,787 tons. Production, on the other hand, increased in October by 1,636 tons, the comparative figures for Sep- tember and October being 40,S52 and 42,- 4SS, respectively, while for August 41,775 tons were produced, and 42,09S in Oc- tober of last year. The larger produc- tion was more than compensated by an expansion in shipment tonnage, which, at 49,756 tons, was STOP ahead of the September total, and compared with

43,55S tons for August and only 3s,204 tons for October, 1925.
 A feature of the figures issued since May of this year has been the growth in the amount of zinc shipped from plants for export-S,299 tons during Oc- tober constitutes the high point for the year, and compares with 5,64O tons in September, 6,743 in August, 7,4s3 in July, 4,317 in June and 1,732 in May. The fig ures for October, 1923, was 4,97S.
 Total production of zinc in 1923 was 445,502 tons. If production for the re- maining two months does not exceed average rate of the ten months, the total for the year will exceed 1923 by only some 4,O00 tons. In the meantime, shipments for 1924 continuing at this years ten-month average will exceed 1923 by over 1000 tons.

The steel industry is celebrating. Un- filled tonnage figures for November 30 stand at 4,031 ,969 tons showing over the previous month. Orders are pouring in and production is being speeded up to take care of rising demand. The United States Steel corporation, for instance, was operating at 40 per cent of capacity in July, at 68 per cent just previous to election, at 70 per cent following the election and Is now running at about 30 per cent. Republic Iron and Steel is reported as running its plants at S5 per cent of capacity. The increase at this particular season Is unusual. Or dinarily buyers reduce their inventories at the close of the year and build them up again after January first. This seasonal demand may be expected to add new impetus to steel buying next month.
 Judge Gary of the Steel crporation voices a most optomistic viewpoint in statement in which he predicts a de- lay in the delivery of steel as buying continues to increase. He also says that there is more confidence and opto- mism apparent in the business world to- day than has been seen following an election for a quarter of a century. Flu gene G. Grace, president of Bethlehem Steel, tn second largest producer in the industry, adds his indorsement to the optomistic steel outlook as that com pany celebrates it's twentieth anniver- sary. One industry at least is experience ing improvement in volume as well as in sentiment.
 Bond sales for November reached a total of $389, ,418,000 as compared with $228, 10000 last November. These fig ures reflecting an increase of over fifty per cent cover bonds traded in the New
 York Stock Exchange. Medium priced , railroad issues led in this trading. For eign issues were also active. This | unusually large volume of bonds going
 into the nations strong boxes consti- tutes financial ballast that will tend to
 keep things on an even keel even if a sudden turn in trend should upset the | stock market.
 Commodity imitation, as possibility in | the present situation, seems to be both- ering the more conservative. The ad- ministrative committee of the American MT. Durant's own company, has not given a very brilliant account of it. self on the exchanges while it's organ
 izer has been busy recovering a part of his private fortune. Durant stock which once sold for 50 cents on the curl is now to be had for around 15, and | trading is not very active. In spite of the brilliant comeback it almost looks | as though Mir. Durant might have been

 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-For sometime it has been apparent that both the south and the spinners are so confi- dent of their own position that each has assumed a waiting attitude until the other should change his price views. The immediate supply and demand fac tors would seem to have struck a bal ance around current levels, but in look ing ahead, we find that practically ev- cry aspect of the future points to an in- creased consumption as well as a de- crease in supply. This years perfect fall weather and surprising absence of

 NEW YORK, Dec. 15.-Cables this morning were lower than due owing to a decline in the price of Egyptian fig ures in Liverpool. Our market hesi- tated little at the opening but sub sequently recovered and advanced on bullish reports from southern markets during the early afternoon. It was re- ported that a well known English firm had estimated the consumption of American cotton this year as 10 to IS per cent above that of last season and this had a tendency to strengthen prices as the higher of the two figures would bring the consumption within striking distance of 13,000,000 bales.
 Southern advices were to the effect that the basis was higher with cotton hard to buy and considerable December commitments to be filled. The result was a steady market through the day, although speculative sentiment is still bearish.

Colossal Cave Found
In Southern Arizona

Arizona has rival of the Carls-
bad Cavern, believed to be the larg-
est in the world.
The Arizona cave has lately been
discovered 1t is called Colossal Cave,
and is located in the Rincon noun
tains, a range east of Tucson.
All that is known is that Colossal
Cave consists of gigantic network
Of tunnels and chambers. 1t has not
been explored with any degree of
thoroughness. National Geographic
society, which explored Carlsbad cav
erns, has the exploration of Colossal
Cave as part of it's 1925 program, and
it is estimated a week, possibly two
weeks, will be required
1t is known to be larger than Nam
moth Cave in Kentucky and may be
as large as the Carlsbad caverns. 1t
is within ten miles of Vail station on
the Southern Pacific. The state high
way also passes through Vail. Wait
until a good road can be built from
Vail to Colossal Cave, and then watch
the Southern Pacific and the Tucson
Chamber of Commerce tell the world
about it. 1t will be puller of pas
senger traffic.-El Paso Herald

TRAN into Brown the other night
about eight o'clock as l was COM
ing down Green street. He was with
two or three companions, well-known
men about the town. 1t was COM
monplace discussion that they were
carrying on, but he was swearing pro
fanely and loudly, mixing his oaths
with vulgar gutter talk. l was not
shocked, for as a boy I had been
thrown with all conditions of the un-
derworld-coal beavers and river rats,
and ignorant section gangs, and had
heard the talk of the riffraff that fol
lows a threshing outfit in the North
West-but l was surprised.
You must not class Brown as an
educated, religious father and a re-
fined mother At home Brown is him
self an active member of the leading
Protestant churuch, and sometimes at
vacations he leads the Christian En-
deavor meeting. At college he was
"I'' sweater when l first met him, and
he was a member of one of the best
known organizations of upper class
men.
He is not a coarse fellow; he has
simply learned to swear as he learned
in the grades to chew tobacco
because he thought it was smart and
made him appear grown up. He swore
at first to let people know, who would
not otherwise have suspected it, what
a young devil he was, and he swears
now because he wants people to realize
what an important character he is.
OF course, at home he doesn't swear
at his mother or his father or his pas
tor or at anyone or in the presence
Of anyone whom he respects. With
his profanity he tries to impress his
overwOrked landlady and the laundry
boy and he aweS younger fellows who
see a good deal of his swagger and
hear a good deal of his prOfane talk
1t is habit easily acquired but not
easily broken. Brown does not stop
to think how coarse and commonplace
it makes him; how it cheapens him J;
how irreverent it is, and if there is
anyone who should reverence God it is
q man brought up and trained as
Brown has been. Nor does he realize
how every vulgar, profane word he
utters throws discredit upon his teach
ers and his father and his mother and
himself
every fellow does it, is the excuse
offered if one ever stops to offer an
excuse. 1t is common, vulgar fault,
too common and vulgar, in fact, for
the man who has opportunities and
training and who, if he is to get far
in the world, should have ideals above
the low and the profane.
