ISTOCKS IN SLUMP
AFTER EARLY RISE
, =
st. Louis & 0'FalIon Case
Hits Rails and lnduStrials
Follow Down.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Z Special Dispatch TO The Star.
N NEW YORK, December 10.-Today'
Il short stock market session was di
vided into two parts. In the first hour
: there was confident bidding up o
prices for both rails and industrialS
;. and a general appearance of grea'
y strength. In the second hour the de
cision in the ST. Louis and OFallof
/. case brought reaction into the rails
s which finally spread to the industrias
L Trading was very active all day
with the tape falling far behind busi
Z ness on the floor Notwithstanding the
S abbreviated method of reporting trans
S actions. The weakness in the rails
s was really more reflection OF the
= -overspecu!ation in the entire market
than any logical appraisal of the mean
L ing of the court decision. The case Is
certain to be appealed to the hlGhPst
court and final decision is yet to be
reached.
/. The early advance was marked not
@only by strength in Steel, Generai
Motors, General Electric and stocks
of the conservative sort, but by rapid
! advances in long list of generally
8
! Iinson. REYNOLDS Spring, Chandler
/ Cleveland Motors preferred, Cuban
Dominican Sugar and Federal Light
and Traction ran up on comparatively
small volume of business. Other special
ties which rushed rapidly forward ins
cluded American Steel Foundry, Can
fornia Packing, Freeport Texas, Gold
Dust, United States Industrial Aico-
hol, United States Realty and Wright
Aeronautical.
i Motor shares were generally higher.
Both Nash and Packard set new high
marks for the year, while General
Motors ranged above the preceding
II close. The talk was all of larger
':output next year, with profits enough
Ito go around. Steel shares did better
under the leadership of United States
Steel. which at 144 was up over :
points on the day and points above
the low of the preceding day. Colorado
Fuel and Crucible scored large gains.
The decision in the st. Louis and
O'Fallon case came out shortly after
IL o'clock and for a time threw the
whole market into confusion. Rails
broke sharply Southern Pacific, which
approaching 127 early in the session
had set a new high since 1911. came
down for net loss on the day. Della
ware & Hudson, which had gone up
at the start, came down even more
quickly. New York Central weakened
There was a wide swing in Baltimore
& Ohio with a range of some 3 points,
a large amount for so active a stock.
Lower.priced rails such as New
Haven and Erie acted in the same
fashion.
/. After the first spasmodic selling had
been absorbed the market hardened,
but it was still nervous and irregular.
Some stocks righted themselves at
the end and others left off with losses.
Still others jumped around wildly. For
instance. Greene Cananea. closing
yesterday at 1919. ran up to 123,
dipped to 117h and then came back
almost to the preceding close.

GIRL WORKERS FREED.

TOKIO.-One Japanese factory has
broken away from the custom which
required that girl factory workers re-
main within the confines of the plant
or it's dormitories. except on occa-
sional holidays. In the past these re.
strictions on the liberty of the oper-
atives were enforced to prevent their
going to other shops or to safeguard
the girls themselves. Efforts to ex-
tend this new freedom to girls in other
factories now are being made.

Urges Joining Christmas Clubs.

Washingtons thrifty residents, who
are not already members of the Christ
mas Savings Clubs, have been urged
to start thinking of 1928 at once. by
John M. Riordon, vice president of the
Bank of Commerce & Savings. in
radio talk from Station WMAL.
Mr.. Riordon called attention to the
great wave of thrift that has swept
over the country since the days be-
fore the war. the immense Liberty
Loan campaigns having been largely
the cause. People who never pretend
ed to save much money before that
time formed a habit which has re-
mained with them ever since.
Everybody knows that thrift builds
the umbrella which is always ready
for rainy day. Thinking about econo.
my and actually practicing it are two
vital points in success. The speaker
wondered whether the people of this
city and elsewhere will be better off
at the end Of 1928 than at the end of
1927, adding that Christmas savings
club is certain to lead every member
to greater and more permanent pros
perity.
