Snatches Purse from
Woman on Oak Street
Makes His Getaway

AS Mrs. Myrtle Tasker of 4 Flagg
Street Place was proceeding up Oak
street, Friday evening at about S.40,
q short thick set man suddenly con-
fronted her and before the woman
realized his intentions he had
snatched her hand bag, containing
about $40. and made way hastily UP
F1agg street.
The woman returned to Water
street and notified the police of the
theft, and a call was also sent to
the Augusta police station. and with
ina very few minutes several officers
were on the scene and made a
thorough search of the neighbor-
hood, in an effort to apprehend the
snatch-thief. No trace of the man
could be found as the locality where
the holdup occurred is such that he
could have easily slipped away and
boarded an electric car on Water
street.
Mrs. Tasker was unable to furnish
a very definite description of the
man who snatched her purse, other
than that he was storky and did not
wear an overcoat. This is the first
theft of this nature to be reported
for some time and citizens are warn-
ed to be on the alert as the holiday
season usually brings forth similar
depredations by snatch thieves.

Industrial News
Continues Good
With Steel Leading

New York, Dec. 14.--(By A. P.)
Although the securities markets
felt the effects Of profit-taking last
week. industrial news received In
the financial district continued to be
an encouraging nature.
1'nfflled orders of the T.. s. steel
Corporation increased $4,000 tons
during November. This gain was
the, largest since September. 1929,
and exceeded by so percent the sum
of the gains shown during the thret
bookings exceeded the corporations
steel making capacity by s percent.
The trade expects another large in
crease in December orders.
Meanwhile the increase In the pro-
duction of steel continued. Opera.
tions for the country at large aver.
aged between Is and 30 percent Of
capacity. Prices held their recent
gains, even displaying q tendency
toward higher levels.
Despite the general recognition Of
the favorable character Of the eco.
| noniic situation. particularly with
regard to the improvement in Eu.
! rope and In domestic agricultural
| districts. a note of caution was
sounded in conservative quarters. It
was pointed out that the current In.
: dustrial revival had maintained .
smart pace over q period of four
months. Shrewd bankers and indus.
! trialists hope that the occasion will
not be utilized to bid up prices
sharply or to Increase production
programs to capacity operations.
The experience of last spring when
too ambitious programs brought on
reproduction and liquidation are
recalled.
/ Car loading statistics confirmed
the other indications Of active busi-
| ness While the railroads loaded
considerably less freight during the
week ended November % than in
the preceding week. The falling of

giving holiday. The total OF S1s.-
600 cars bettered the best figure for
the corresponding week In any

Wheat reached new top with the
principal futures well above e1.o0 a
bushel. Small receipts, reports OF
damage to foreign crops, buying
from abroad and renewed bullfsi1
activity were considered responsible
for the rise. Cotton on the other
hand receded slightly. The final
government crop report raised the
estimated Weld to 13,153,OOO bales,
approximately 100000 bales more
than last years actual Yield. The
report on mill consumption during
November showed q total Of 402. 600
bales. as compared with $4,000
bales In October. The decline was
due entirely to the smaller number
OF working days In the latter month.
