RAIL STOCKS LEAD
IN MARKET GAINS
General Motors Also Scores
an Early Advance-Broker
Loans Report Discounted.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 9.-Shaking
off the nervousness in evidence at the
close on the day before the stock
market moved forward confidently again
this morning, this time under the lead
ership of the railway stocks There
were numerous strong industrials. prom
inent among them General Electric and
Montgomery Ward. but it was the
turning to the rails that attracted the
most comment.
Opening prices were higher all around.
The selling wave of the day before had
exhausted itself and the overnight or
ders were predominently on the buying
side. No attention whatever was paid
to the increase in brokers' loans. The
subject has ceased to interest Wall
Street. Announcement of the split-up
in General Motors and the extra divi-
dend brought about an advance in that
stock at the start. The opening was a
block of 10000 shares at 222 to 22lib
| in contrast with the preceding close of
! 219A. These gains were not held. how
ever. in the subsequent trading during
| the forenoon.
General Electric forged to the front
early in the day. The opening price
equaled the previous high for the pres
ent shares, and later on new high was
set up. Montgomery Ward scared to
| new high levels, surprising even its
sensational advance of yesterday. AT
| 389 1t was up % points.
The move in the rails got under wav
| early In the session, with practically
every active stock in that group par
| ticipating. Both the seasoned dividend
payers and lower-priced stocks were in
| brisk demand. Union Pacific sold above
214, price unequaley since 1909. New
| York Central gained nearly points
| Atchison was higher and so was Nor
! folk & Western and Delaware & Hud-
son. Canadian Pacific advanced from,
to points.
Shares of the Northwestern roads
! were uniformly strong. st. Paul, pre-
ferred and common, was taken in large
blocks at advancing prices. Chicago
& Northwestern responded to the talk
of higher dividend by 2-point gain
Northern Pacific and Great Northern
! preferred went along.
Nothing could have been more en-
collraging to the party working fol
higher prices than the revival of in
terrSt in the railroad shares. The way
in which these stocks had been tagging
| for so long was very disappointing. All
the statistical background has been in
favor OF an advance in the rails, but UP
to today they had made no response.
| Money renewed at 615 per cent
against per cent yesterday. Banks
colled loans and the tone was firm.

drops Off to sleep just as when he is in
the BARRIERS chair.
The only other recreation Is that of
listening-in to radio performances and
now he has broadcasting at his disposal.
Plus XI dislikes motion pictures, due
perhaps to the fact that. before becom-
ing Pope, he went once to a cinema and
caught some eye disease. Since then
he has always refused to have anything
to do with them and when, after the
Eucharistic Congress of Chicago, the
knights of Columbus sent him set of
films of that event, he appreciated the
gift but refused even to see them and
gave them to the Oratory of st. Peters.

success.
From 8 In the evening until about 8
the Pope grants more audiences, then
goes to his private chapel to worship
the sacrament, and afterward he and
all his household recite the rosary,
led by Mgr. Testoni, the secret chap
lain. The evening meal does not take
place generally until 8. and during its
course the private secretaries report
the work done during the day.
Then Plus XI retires to his private
library. where he studies until late.
Reads in Bed.
"These," he says. "are the best
hours Of the whole day.
Even then, before going to sleep, he
reads in bed some of his favorite
books--the Bible. Dantes Divine
Comedy" Marco Polo's Journeys, and
Manzoi's 1.-THE Betrothed" He is also
a great admirer of Saint Aquinas. his
"Summa Theologiate" and his "Summa
Catholicae Fidei Contra Gentiles.'
Among modern books he is very
fond of the theoretical essays on
natural law by the Jesuit Father
Taparelli D'AZeglio. When Ratti was
a young man he translated every
night into German some of D'Anzeglio's
book, thus acquiring perfect fiuency in
the language Of the Tatherland.
AS matter of fact. beside italian,
he speaks fluently Latin, French and
German. and reads English. Spanish,
Greek, Portuguese and Polish. Indeed,
he understands English when 1t Is
spoken distinctly. Often, on receiving
English-speaking people, he says to
them: please speak slowly" but he
can say only few English phrases.

brought with him from Milan, sort in

Pope six years ago, his need for open
air is so great that he has had q Spe-
cial covering constructed along the IN
side walls of the Vatican. In order
that he should be better protected when
the rain is very violent, he wears
white macintosh and goloshes thus re-
tanning the traditional purity of the
papal habit.
When the weather is fine he visits
the famous multi-colored cockatoo pre-
sented to Pope Leo XIII, and the eagle
which was captured by parish priest
on the peaks of the Apennines during
the last holy year The eagle occupies
the cage which once was the residence
of the lions given by King Menelik of
Abyssinia to Plus X. From this spot
the Pontiff can see aeroplanes and di-
rigibles rising from the aerodromes Of
Centocelle and Ciampino.
