Daily Trading Value.

The daily trading value of industrial
common stocks on the New York Stock
Exchange fell off last week to 1921 ,300,-
900 from 1882 100000 the week before.
Trading in all shares, however, rose
to a daily value of $319,300,000 from
$314,2OO,OO0 for the previous week.
These falls were brought about by less
trading in steelS, auto accessories and
motors, in spite of an increased daily
activity in oils, public utilities, stores,
foods and coppers.
The diminished steels turnover OF
$12,900,000 as compared with SIS, $780,
900 for the previous week was due to
Republic Steel, United States Steel and
Ludlum trading declines. Less activity
in auto accessories was reflected by
fewer Briggs, Murray Corporation, and
Electric Auto Lite shares changing
hands, while Chrysler. General Motors
and Hudson activity declines eased off
the motors trading value.
Standard Oil Of New Jersey, Pan
American. Petroleum B and Richfield
Oil trading gains pushed up the oils
activity value to $45, 100000 day from
$26, 100000 the week before Increased
stores activity was due to a larger
Montgomery Ward, First National
Stores and Woolworth turnover, while
National Biscuit, Kroger Grocery and
Jewel Tea featured the higher foods
trading value.

The strictly investment issues were
quiet, with not quite so much demand
for them in view of the slightly higher
money rates. There were, however,
some strong sections in this department
of the market and strikingly so in
short term issues. Canadian National

The Armistice day speech of Presi-
dent Coolidge could not have brought
much encouragement to bankers who
have been considering further European
loans. 1t very pointedly emphasized the
difference in the earning power OF
money at home at the present time and
on loans made for foreign account. The
foreign issues were quiet and slightly
changed. The decision Of the New
York City authorities to limit their Dor
rowings this month to SIS, ZOO, 900 in
stead Of carrying out the original plan
to sell $107, 100000 had q sentimentally
good effect on the market for tax ex-

regular quarterly dividend of 37l2 cents

The company Is rounding out one of
its most profitable years. Estimates are
that surplus earnings will cover divi-
