NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-With con-
f1dence regained in the rise of
Thursday, traders bid up stocks
further in early trading today on
the New York Stock Exchange. Ac-
tivity was fairly great.
The feature of the opening was
Central alloy Steel which rose to
1875, up as on a block of 1000
shares. Industrials generally were
strong, gains ranging to three
points, while railroad stocks were in
better demand
The market was helped by a de-
crease of $64,92900C in brokerage
loans, failure OF call money to rise
as had been expected, and an i'm
proved condition in the federal re-
serve statement.
Radio Works Up
Radio Corporation rose 6 points
to 367, Wright Aero points to 258,
A. M. Byers ~ to 184a4, Warner
Brothers Pictures a point to 118.
Substantial gains also were made
by International Business Machine,
Westinghouse Electric, American
Can and Victor Talking Machine.
Canadian Pacific led the rails
with q gain of "a to 294, while st.
Louis Southwestern was up IL at
1865 and others of the group f1rmed
up proportionately,
Greene Cananea Spurted 312
points to 174, featuring the copper
group. Anaconda gained nearly a
point to 1893. The entire group
ruled strong.

PREPARE FOR
BIGGEST RIFLE
CONTEST CROWD
More Than 1000 Entrants
in Events at Camp
Perry, Ohio Expected.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, July 27.-War
Department officials are making
preparations to handle record at
tendance at the national Rifle
matches which will start at Camp
Perry, Ohio, on Aug. 26 and last
three weeks.
Secretary of War Dwight L. Davis
has approved a project providing
for construction of an additional
moving target range and substantial
additions to the 200-yard and 1000
yard ranges.
Every Government and civilian
team which competed in the last
matches two years ago has in
dicated that it will attend this years
contest and many new teams will
be entered.
Coast Guard Enters Team
For the first time in the history
of the matches the. Coast Guard
service has entered team and
field artillery officers and the re-
serve officers corps will compete for
the first time.
When the last matches were held
in August, 1926, 101 teams OF fifteen
men each were entered making a
total of 1915 entrants. This years
contests are expected to be COM
peted In by more than 1000 men.
The rifle matches furnished ma
terial for heated disputes in Con-
gress at the session last concluded.
Until two years ago the matches
have been held annually since 1903
with the exception of one or two
occasions during the war and Mexi-
can boarder trouble.
Work of Ohio Congressman
Following the 1926 match, how
ever, the War Department an
nounced that for economy reasons
the matches would be held only BIZ
annually hereafter. This aroused
the ire of such Congressman as Rep
resentative John c. Speaks of Ohio,
and others who believe that deYel-
opment of real rifemen is essential
to national defense.
Speaks carried his fight to the
