MAY EXTEND MARKET
Law Amendments Provide for Trade
in Foreign Stocks on Exchange.

BB United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-The New
York Stock Exchange may be
thrown open to European industrial
and utility stocks, it was revealed
today.
A bill has been prepared for pres
entation to the State Legislature
amending the State laws to permit
dealings in foreign stocks in the
local exchange. 1t will make minor
changes in the present laws.
This action has been preceded by
conferences between officials Of the
New York exchange and foreign
financiers interested in obtaining an
American market for their stocks.
Financial men said that if foreign
stocks are listed on Wall Street, New
Yorks position as the leading inter-
national financial market will be
made secure.

Just then a chunk of ice moved
by, and all heard Scouty loudly cry,
Grab hold of that one, Clowny. You
can crawl up on the top. It's ragged
edged and you can grip a pointed
place, so you won't slip" And then
the stream grew quiet, and the ice
chunk seemed to stop.
Wee Clowny tried, and tried and
tried to get on top-and then he'd
slide. But, after while, he met sue

then he shouted to the band, Come

me to the shore. because this doesn't

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-Unit-
ed States SteePs 1926 report,
which made a surprisingly favor
able showing for the last quarter,
caught a large short interest I'M
aware. Urgent covering took place
in early dealings throughout the in
dustrial list and active stocks of
this class displayed a greatly inn
proved tone. Steel steadied fraction
ally to 1853, while General Motors
gained y, to 1471a. American Smelt-
Mpg q, to 1882, and Cast Iron Pipe
W. to 2O5&.
Good buying was reported in in
dustrial leaders around noon. Bald
win advanced to 149%, up 29s from
the previous close, and General Mo-
tors to 1879, up 31s.
Although Steel common failed to
rebound as griskly as these stocks,
it's action was impressive, as the
balance out of the 1926 earnings of
nearly $1S a share caused impor-
tant accumulation of a semi-invest-
ment nature.

tirely unexpected. Under the cover
there seems to be a definite effort
made by strong interests to add to

but the early stages of the rise at

following has apparently started to
take profits, being satisfied with the
advance shown and somewhat APP
prehensive of the possibilities of a
stock known to be as closely held

has been of little Importance to the

BOAT SINKS QUICKLY

New York, Oct. 15.-tR)-The
giant French liner Paris. looming
out Of the shadow of the Statue Of
Liberty in New York bay, rammed
and sank the Norwegian freighter
Besseggen at 80 q. m. today.
OF the 81 passengers and mem-
bers of the crew of the freighter,
at least "a were brought to safety
by ferry boats, police boats and
other harbor craft. The survivors
included several women and chill
dren.
The freighter went down within
Is minutes while those aboard clam
bered to the superstructure when it
was found that all life boats had
been thrown from their davits, and
time prohibited use of life belts.
Crash Comes Without Warning
No warning Of the crash came to
the sleeping ,ersons aboard the
1859 ton freighter, 3O5 feet long.
as the liner, 735 feet long and Of
34,569 tons, loomed out of the night
and crashed the Besseggen amid
ships. Water engulfed the engine
room crew and others in the lower
sections of the ship.
Within a few minutes the super
structul of the freighter was dotted
with frantic passengers and seamen,
as the vessel listed heavily by the
stern. Many injured jumped into
the harbor and called to gathering
rescue craft.
Two ferry boats joined q life
boat crew from the Paris, police
boats and lighters in an effort to
lift the survivors from the water.
On the ferry boats excited pas
sengers fought to reach life pre-
servers and lower life boats. One
ferry landed IL survivors at The
Battery, while the second, bound for
Staten Island, rescued several 9TH
ers. Eight were picked ap by the
Paris. The liner was .ot damaged.
Captain Yves Thomas reported the
crash by wireless to police head
quarters before the.voyagc was re-
sumcd.
Three Causes Given
Three possible causes of the COL
lision were advanced by witnesses:
A strong northwest wiLd which
swept across the upper bay, an ebb
tide which, at the point where the
collision occurred, runs with consid-
cradle. strength. and the sunken
hulk, lying a short distance away,
of a freighter which went down In
the channel last fill.
Observers were of the opinion
that all three Of these causes might
bo,,a bod q corf rih,,tnrv share in
the crash. The wind and the tide
in combination could have made the
handling of the giant liner an ex-
tremely difficult task and to this
work was probably added the neces-
sity of avoiding the sunken vessel
which lies astride the channel.
The Besseggen had been anchored
near the statue of Liberty since
October 2, presumably awaiting =
place at pier.

Pair Wings Across Ocean From

DISTANCE Is 2,15O MILES
Make Hop in 10 Hours-Un-

Pcrmanbuco, Oct. 15.--F-Two
daring French aviators, Dieudonne
Costes and Lieutenant Joseph lie
Brix, have conquered the south At
lantic in one hop, feat attempted
many times but never before accom-
plished.
Winging across the ocean from St,
Louis, Senegal, they brought their
Breguet military biplane "Nun-
gcsscr-Coli," down on the flying
field near Port Natal, on the tip of
the Brazilian peninsula, at f1:4O
o'clock last night to receive the ova-
tons of great crowd and the Off
cial congratulations Of Brazilian Of
ficials.
The start from St. Louis was made
at 6:23 yesterday morning, Senegal
time. Flying over Dakar, they head
cd out across the Atlantic at 7:40.
The distance from Dakar to Port
Natal is about 2,l5O miles. which,
with the three hour time difference,
gives them an elapsed time from the
African to the South American coast
of 10 hours and average speed of
about 113 miles an hour.
From the time of their departure
from the African coast until their
landing, there was no report OF
their having been sighted by any
vessels, and their approach to the
Brazilian coast was heralded only
when signals from their wireless
were picked up by ships north OF
Fernando do Noronha island.
Costes and lie Brix now have be-
hind them the most hazardous OF
the four laps in their flight from
Paris to Buenos Aires which is in
tended to- blaze the trail for q
Franco-South American air mail. If
they follow their original plans they
will hop next to Rio Janeiro and
thence to the Argentine capital.
Their first hop, from Paris to St.
Louis, was the longest, 2,7OO miles.
They made it in 25 hours 80 min
