MARKETS
STOCKS


NEW YORK, N. T., Oct. ii.-tR1-
Stock prices moved within narrow
and irregular limits at the opening
Of today's market. The brisk re-
covery toward the close yesterday
stimulated pool operations in a few
specialties, American Machine and
Foundry and May Department Stores
mounting 70 new high ground.
General Motors and United Drug
each opened q point higher.

ing 1922 pounds sold for s16.0e a
hundred pounds. Prime yearling
steers averaging 1,2l5 pounds also
reached q new high level at $3.50.
Confused price movements char
aeterized early dealings as opposing
speculative forces struggled for con-
troll. Early buying eentered largely
in the rails, particularly those which
are expected to show large earnings
in the final quarter Of the year.
Accumulation Of the department

patton Of good holiday business with

leaders in that GROUP.

The State Board of Education spent
almost all of Friday hearing delega
tions who are opposed to schools in
various parts of the State being clos
ed. At the close of the session it
was announced that the board had de
cided to keep open some of the
schools for another year, had ordered
others closed and were still consider

the school board has the authority to
close any school in the State where
the attendance falls below twelve. The
custom is to notify the people in these
districts that the attendance has fall
en- to such a point that it is no longer
advisable to continue the school and
then give them a hearing on the sub
ject. One of the schools under dis
succion Friday was the Mt. Airy
School at Centreville, in New Castle
county. This was ordered closed and
the pupils transferred to the dupont
school. There was a delegation pres
ent to protest against closing State
Road school and after hearing the
delegation the members Of the board
reached the conclusion that it would
be advisable to keep the school open.
The same action was taken on
school near Hartly. About five small
schools in various parts Of Sussex
county were ordered closed It was
also contended BY the school authori-
ties that the attendance at some Of
The schools had fallen that the num-
ber Of teachers employed was un-
