SPEED TICKER
TO MEET RUSH
ON EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Nov. 80 tP)-Coincid-
ent with another day of heavy trad
ing on the New York stock exchange,
when total sales again approached the
3 900 900 share mark, the committee
on arrangements of the exchange
planned an experiment which it hoped
would increase the speed of ticker op-
erations IS to 20 per cent. In the test
which will be made in the last hour
of trading on Saturday, only the final
figure and fraction will be printed on
stocks selling at $21 share or more,
except in cases where confusion is
likely to occur. Until IL o'clock, full
quotations will be printed, as hereto
fore.
The necessity of speeding up the
ticker was demonstrated again today,
when the final quotation did not ap-
pear on the tape until 81 minutes after
the market had closed
Similar delays in final quotations
have been common in recent active
sessions.
A terrific rush of buying orders
poured into the market in the late
trading, sending shorts scurryirg to
cover, and elevating scores of stocks
into new high record territory So
diversified was the demand that new
high record in the number of individ-
ual issues traded in was marked up,
the total reaching 703.
There was little if anything in the
days news to explain the violent ad-
vance of scores of issues Commission
houses reported an unusually large
public participation, particularly in odd
lots.
Recent popular industrials were in
the forefront of the afternoon rise.
General Motors, which had fallen be-
low yesterdays final quotation, rose
above 13O for a gain of more than
points Radio Corporation, bought in
heavy volume, sold above 500 share
for the first time and insistent de-
mand for American Machine and
Foundry forced the price to 1920 a
share for an extreme gain OF $l9.
Montgomery Ward climbed nearly $1O
a share and the rise was rapid in
ii Sears -Roebuck, National Biscuit, War
ren Bros, Stewart Warner, CONNER
cial Solvents, Timken Roller Bearing,
and several others.
i Activity on the curb market also
was great. Ford Motor of Canada
reached a new high of $725 share
and Tubi1e Silk failed by only 81, to
reach $500. Both stocks closed con-
siderably below their high prices for
the day.
Z. A new high record of $650O0 for a
seat on the curb was established, a
gain of $4,000 over the last sale, yes
terday, and an advance of $4,000 in
4 the past week

rallying from low of 1854 to 1902,

Pan american Petroleum and Ameri-

heavy.
A jump of nearly 10 points in Can
adian Pacific to new peak at 208
featured the rail list. Strength of
Pere Marquette and Wabash was baS-
ed on expectations of increased earn
ings through large Ford business
There was no change in time money
and commercial paper rates.
Leading commodity markets moved
within narrow and irregular limits,
cotton advancing slightly while grain
futures lost ground. Coffee and sugar
quotations were practically unchanged.
A drop of l6 points in Spanish pc
setas to 1914 cents was the only
change of consequence in the irregular
foreign exchange market, Demand
sterling was slightly easier at $4.873s.

NEW YORK, No. 80 CR-Speculation
for the advance was resumed with con-
siderable violence in todays stock mar
ket. Buying embraced an unusually
wide assortment of issues, nearly two
score of which attained record high
prices on gains that ran as high as 19
points
The average of 20 leading industrials
compiled by the Associated Press also
reached a new high level for all time.
So great was the accumulation of or
ders that the ticker fell 20 minutes
behind the market shortly after mid
day, and never caught up, the days
total sales running just over 295O00O
shares.
The advance was not associated with
anything in the days news although
the lowering of the call money re-
newal rate from AZ to per cent, the
stiffening of export copper prices and
the predicted increase in steel mill op-
erations by the trade. journals had q
favorable effect on sentiment. Com

CHICAGO, Nov. 80 -P)-Assertions
that world import requirements OF
wheat this season are likely to be the
largest on record served to tighten up
wheat values today. After an early
decline based a good deal on Liver

Chicago wheat market closed firm at

Scantiness Of women's dress may or
may not hurt the morals of the gen.
eral public, but it certainly is playing
havoc with the baggage business.
Not that short skirts and tiimsy
underclothing are any more detri-
mental to the morals of the baggage
SmaSher' than any one else, but they
exercise a baneful influence on his
pocketbook
The baggage business isn't what It
used to be before the advent of alb

intendent Of the Union Transfer Co.
Time was, said Mr.. Williams today,
when a woman required several
trunks to hold her roomy dresses,

SarieS. at present almost obsolete
Now. however, she can cram her whole
wardrobe into a handbag and have
some room to spare.
Handbag Replaces Trunk.
Statements to the effect that the
modern woman doesn't wear enough
clothing to fill a trunk are just about
true" Mr.. Williams remarked. What
dresses she has are so sCant that she
can roll up half a dozen of them and
tuck them in a small handbag"
The changed conditions have been
brought home sharply to the baggage
industry by the decline in the transfer
business, he declared. Popularity of
the automobile as a means of travel
also has cut into the baggage profits,

support of Woods, they acted without
consulting him.
Lind's telegram to Steck said:
I'VE feel it to be to the best inter-
ests of all concerned IL Cyrus f..
Woods is made a member of the In
terstate Commerce Commission, and
l earnestly request that you support
and vote for his confirmation.
Steck also declared, in his tele-
gram, that from Brookhart's point
of view, it would be contrary to the
best interests of the farmers Of Iowa
to have Woods confirmed since the
farmers are complaining of high
freight rates.
In response to the kilograms he re-
ceived, Senator Stewart telegraphed
Lund that he fully understood the
deep feeling of obligation that Senator
Brookhart must have toward Senator
Reed for espousing his cause here in
the Senate during his election contest
and for permitting Brookhart to cir
culate his speech in Iowa during the
primary campaign"
Senator Reed, Republican, Pennsyl-
vania, is sponsor for the appointment
of Woods to the Interstate Commerce
Commission. Immediately after Sena-
tor Steck read the kilograms to the
Senate the Pennsylvania joined Sen
ator Reed, Democrat, Missouri, in urg-
ing an investigation, declaring that
apparently there had been brought to
light the underhanded lobbying
which has been going on here for the
past month";"

he said. In the old days, he pointed
out. it was impossible for q motorist
to take his large trunks along with
him. and he invariably sent them
ahead by train. Now, with the vogue
for smaller and fewer trunks, he takes
his baggage with him.
Mr.. Williams agrees with S. w. +.
Draper. president of the New York
Transfer Co, that men also have had
share in slashing the profits OF the
baggage companies.
"Men just as Bad"
1.-THE men are every bit as bad as
the women" asserts Mr.. Draper "a
man leaves for a week end of golf; he
wears his golf suit and carries his
razor and a pair of clean socks in his
~olf bag. Five years ago he wouldn't
have been allowed in the club dining
room in that outfit. But times have
changed. Folks don't dress as they
used to-
Similarly with women, it is no secret
that with the increasing amplitude of

extensive portmanteau than her ord1-
nary handbag. In il she deposits a

reform in feminine dress.

Jolson and Cobb were among the

The principal prosecution witness

Earl Carroll was awakened from a

Modesty Set Aside
By Firemen to Put
Out Corset Blaze

Modesty is all right, under GER

modeSty was flung to the winds IN
favor of personal safety. according
to the fire rescue squad of No. 10
precinct.
Firefighting policemen of that
precinct reached that conclusion
today when called to choose be-
tween Jane Barnes modesty. on
the one hand, and Jane Barnes
burning corset. on the other.
Despite James indignant pro
tests, the doughty policemen con
Quoted a forcible investigation and
found that the clouds Of smoke
emanating from the colored wom-
ans person had their origin in her
laced undergarTnent They quickly
reached the scene of the blaze and
eXtinguished ii before any damage
was done to Jane herself.
How the corset caught fire under
James clothing appears to be a
mystery to everyone. one theory
is that before dressing this morn
ing she warmed it too close to u
fire and then put it on without
knowing it was smouldering. Jane
didn't discover the fire until she
arrived at her place OF employ
ment on Columbia road.
James modesty prevents her
from discussing the matter at all,
it is stated.
