irregular.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 9.-New
high records again were marked up
on the Curb Exchange today, but
they were not as numerous as on days
preceding. There were intervals when
the main body of stocks turned irregu-
lar, with profit-taking having it's ef
feet in certain directions. 1t could
not have been said however, that any
weakness was apparent. The upward
movement predominated, and those
back of the buying were as confident
as they had been two weeks ago of
sustained higher prices.
High grade public utilities main.
tanned their place of prominence.
The demand was attributed to the
growing recognition of the stability
of earnings and belief that expanding
operations will have their reflection in
1927 income. Empire Gas & Fuel
per cent preferred crossed Ill, where
it was at new high, and Associated
Gas & Electric above 431a went into
new high ground. Electric Investors
was actively bought at an advance
of point.
Food shares were receiving increas-
ing attention, with General Baking
class "A" at a new high for the year.
above -. In the case of baking
shares the demand was Influenced by
the belief that lower wheat prices will
materially reduce production costs
which will naturally be reflected in
earnings. Wesson Oil and Snowdrift
gained more than points to it's best
prices following an upward revision
OF earnings estimates
Banking support served to main.
tain selling prices for Johns. Manville,
but little attempt was made to resume
the upward movement Expectations
of special distribution in the near
future for share owners of Bancitalv
formed the basis for another buying
movement which carried the price up
points.

ice first mortgage 5 per cent gold

mitted to trading, but attracted little

Midnight Mass was celebrated al S, Ioseph's Church by the Rev. Father Concannon for the white congregation. and by Father La For,u upe in the chapel for the native people The music and singing in both churches was excellent, and Father Goncannon in an eloquent st rmon told his hearers of the great changes which Christianity effected in the history of mankind; dwelling on the pre-christian period. and he bcnaficient blessings the great message of peace and good will brought To mankind during the nineteen centuries of Christian civ ilization. The preacher climaxed his sermon, by feeling reference 70 the Christian spirit of the people of Nome. as evidenced in the Com munily Tree gathering at the Eagle Hall. It is learned from many sources that Father C0ncannon' portrayal of the message of peace and good will as proclaimed by Jes- us Christ, Son of God, over nineteen hundred years ago, made deep i'm precision on the congregation. many of whom belonged to other Christ ian beliefs.
