MOVES ON Up SIDE
ON STOCK MARKET
Demand for U. S. Steel Is
Feature of Day-South-
ern Leader in Rails.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
,iai DiSDatch TO The Star,

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November 12.--The
stock market gave a good account of
itself again today. All the activity
was on the side of advance, and while
all the gains were not held TO the
close, it was plain that professional
spectators for the present At least
had turned to what they call the con
structive side.
The feature of the day was the de-
mand for United States Steel. Partly
this was q tardy response TO the in
crease i'll untitled tonnage. and partly
to the more confident tone III the
trade reports, particularly rs 10 the
price situation. Steel WAS active MI
tho session. up some points from
the previous close and more than 10
points above the low of the reaction
of two weeks ago. The way the stock
fiuctuated indicated that 4 good deal
OF the buying was for account of
previous sellers for the decline.
Independent steel stocks went along
with the leader. the two making the
largest gains being Colorado Fuel &
Iron and CruciblE Youngstown
Bethlehem and Sloss Sheffield were all
higher.
The action of General Motors was
not so convincing. 1t was up at inter
vals point or more, but the advance
was not so well maintained as in the
case of steel Hudson. Nash and
Chrysler were a shade higher, but. in
general, motors We're not the favorites
of the day. That position was taken
by other industrials, the mail order
and merchandising stocks, American
Can and numerous speCialties. Wool
worth set a new high mark for the
present shares. and so did Montgomery
Ward.
The spectacular performance was
that of International Harvester, which
scared 10 the highest for all time, as
it crossed 240. In this same connec-
tion the further rise in Warren Bros.
to record highs attracted attention.
In the railroad list Southern Rail
way was still the leader, lettering its
previous record high above 141. In
some quarters it is believed that the
Southern will make new stock offer
ing which will give shareholders, COM
mon and preferred, valuable rights.
Atlantic Coast Line improved on a
moderate turnover, perhaps in SYM
pathy with the strength in Southern
Railway. Smaller gains were achieved
at one time or another by Baltimore
& Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio. Delaware
& Hudson, LaCkawanna and New
York Central

N. u. Should Become
Mecca For Tourists
Says Winnipeg Man

"People in North Dakota are not
aware Of the wonderful possibilities
this state has as q vacation spot,
said Paul B. Gibben of Winnipeg up.
on his return here today from q trip
to the North Dakota Bad Lands. He
was accompanied on the trip by Mrs.
Gibben and Mr.. and Mrs. F. ]. Conk-
lin. Mr.. Gibbcn is actively connected
with the Winnipeg convention and
tourists bureau.
The fantastic rock formations and
the beautiful scenery in the western
part of the state make that an ideal
place for vacation trips and North
Dakotans should do all in their pow
or to advertise these features, Mr..
Gibben said. Most of the people in
Winnipeg never heard Of the North
Dakota Bad Lands, he states, and if
they are planning trip to Yellow
stone park, for instance, they never
consider going through this state.
Most western tourists go south from
Winnipeg to Sioux City or some 9TH
or southern Minnesota or Iowa point
and then cross South Dakota, ac-
cording to Mr.. Gibben, who contends
that with reasonable amount Of ad-
vertising these travellers could be
brought through North Dakota on at
least one way Of their trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Gibben will leave to-
morrow morning for their home.
