November Shows
Slump Over Other
Months OF Year

WASHINGTON, Dec. IA, (AP)-
Financial and business activity in
the United States during November
failed to keep UP with the extra
ordinary previous months Of the
year, the Federal Reserve board
noted today
Seasonal curtailments Of produc-
ton in industry went somewhat
further than usual, though the sit
uation was mitigated to a consid
cradle degree by a resumption Of
accelerated output in several in
dustries, notably textile and coal
mining.
Building construction, which has
been under q forced pace for some
time on a national scale, proved to
be a little smaller during late fall
and early months of the present
year as compared with the same
periods in 1925. Wholesale and re-
tail selling was also found a little
under last years record.
In spite of these less favorable
factors, transportation business on
railroads was noted as having
climbed to record volume during
October and to have continued
during November. Agricultural in
dices, largely because of the
slump in cotton, indicated less
satisfactory return to the farmer
than last year, though there were
some exceptions as in the case OF
dairy products.
Along with the easing up of bus
mess activity generally, the gener-
al level Of prices was found to be
declining in November. The credit
situation, however, was marked by
shrinkage in loan accounts.

New York Stocks


NEW YORK, Dec. IA (AP)-With
total sales crossing the 100000
mark for the first time in six weeks
stock prices resumed their upword
movement today under the leader
ship of the industrial shares, the
general average of which touched
the highest level on record. The
rally took place in the face of a
stiffining of money rates, but this
was regarded as temporary and due
to the heavy-month demand for
funds.
Bullish enthusiasm was created
by reports of unusually heavy holi-
day trade and by dividend and mer-
ger rumors involving several Of
the larger railroads and the small
ler automobile companies. Com
mission houses reported an eXpan-
sion in publis interest although
professionals. continue to dominate
trading in most Of the speculative
stocks.
Baldwin Takes Leap
Baldwin was again a sensational
feature, soaring over seven points
to 1853 SIS, or within a small frac-
tion of the record high. The Nc
CFoary Store issues, Loose Wiles
Biscuit common and second pre-
ferred and Kelsey Wheel all clos
ed to points higher.
Renewed bying Of General Motors
carried that stock up above 152 but
it later reached to 151 IA, up IA
net. Chrysler, which was strong
yesterday, closed fractionally lower
on profit taking Mack Trucks
crossed 1o1 but slipped back a
point from the top. Pierce Arrow
preferred closed two points higher.
Rumors of mergers in circulation
in Wall Street place Chrysler and
Packard in one combination, and
a number OF small companies in
another, but all these lack confir-
nation.
U. S. Steel crossed 13 for a net
gain of over two points. Among
the score or so industrials to
break into new high ground, were
Dupont, South Porto Rican Sugar,
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, Con-
sohdated Cigar and Columbia Car
bon.
Rails Move Slowly
Rails move ahead with the indus
trials, but not to the same extent.
Nevertheless, Atchison, Erie. first

Call moneys held steady at five
per cent all day. Time money was
quoted at 4 5-S to 4 "a instead of
on fat 4 5-S per cent basis. Com
mercial paper rates were unchang-

With the exception of a moderate
decline in some of the distant
wheat, options, commodity prices
generally were firm. Cotton closed
4 to 10 points higher on buying in
fluenced by a bulish consumption
report. Raw sugar was unchang-
ed and coffee prices advanced but
slightly. Heavy short selling of
French francs and Italian lire gave
the foreign exchange market an

Halibut Tagged

At the meeting of the commission held in the Seattle offices of the United States Fisheries Commission in the L. 2. Smith building, reports were rec> red on the past season s work from Dr. W. F. Thompson, who during the past two years has directed the scientific branch of the study of the halibut's life his tory, and from those who have worked in other branches. pr. Thompson has made the College of Fisheries at the University of Washington the headquarters of his investigation.
 An interesting feature of this work has been the tagging of hun dreds of halibut caught and releas- ed on the various banks. Many of these tagged fish have been recap tured and in this manner the scien- tihts have obtained valuable in formation regarding the migrations of the fish and their rate of growth. Fishermen have been encouraged to cooperate in this work by the payment of s1 for every tagged fish recaptured and delivered to the agents of the commission.

This closed season covers the major part of the spawning season of the halibut.
 On the results of the completed scientific investigation will depend whether this closed season will be continued, or will be changed in re- spect to length or time. or will De supplanted by a "closed areas" sys- tenn
