Buying in Special Issues.
The market seemed to be weak at
the outset, but it quickly regained the
early losses, and a large number of
stocks were dealt in above the closing
prices of Monday. 4 special buying
operation in Philips Petroleum, inter
rupted by the general decline of the

Brokers' Views Differ.
Brokers advices sent out before the
beginning of business today in many
rases carried warnings against increas
ing operations on the selling side.
Some houses held the opinion that
most of the recent selling was for the
short account and that the proportion
of real liquidation was small. One
house with a good sized following
stated that ''if precedent may be used
as a gauge, what may be expected for
a week is a series of up-and-down
movements with averages gradually
working toward a lower level"
Buying of Phillips Petroleum at the
same time that Gibson OIL on the Curb
Exchange was establishing new high
prices for the year accompanied the
announcement by the former company
that it had closed a contract with the
4,500-acre holdings in the Panhandle
district, Texas, on a profit-sharing ba
sis.
The collapse in Devoe & Reynolds
stocks was reported today to have
been due largely to forced liquidation
by two large traders. These operat-
ors, according to gossip, had bought
extensively in the open market, and
when margins began to be called, they
were forced to sell where there was
nobody willing to buy. It seemed to
be agreed that the public lost very
little by the break.

THE Wanderer" aptly designated
as the story of the first black sheep,
is essentially a mammoth presenta-
ton on the screen of the biblical story
of the prodigal son. backgrounded
against rich and lavish Oriental set
ting, and marked throughout by a
series of telling episodes, including
the bacchanalian orgy that preceded

is saved from the fate of Babylon
through his refusal despite the rev
elry to worship pagan gods, though
he is forced to flee TO the desert,
where he eats the husks that the
swine did eat. A romantic touch is
given the climax through the reunion
of the prodigal and his boyhood sweet
