FALTER ON
MARKET
By w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK. Dec. % u.N.S.l--
Most OF the high-priced Industrial
stocks lost ground today in a mar-
ket controlled and dominated by
the professionals. A squirt In the
copper stocks at the start brought
prices of Anaconda, Chile and other
well-known shares to the years
highest prices, but profit-taklng In
the final period wiped out most OF
the gains in this and other sections
OF the market.
Warner Brothers Pictures raced
up about 5 points to 127 and Ma
tional Bellas Hess succeeded finally
in pushing to above 200, complct-
ing a gain of 43 points for the
week Radio and Victor did not
improve on yesterdays highest
prices and Montgomery Ward de-
clined a few points on profit-taking.
Many of the big traders regarded
the day as an ''in between" and
few of them were ready to add to
their load of stock commitments
over the holiday week. While tight
money" has not yet made its ap-
pearance, it is expected that the
real squeeze in the money market
will be on hand next week, to force
out considerable selling of stock
Railroad and public utility stocks
were firm at the close.
Radio Drops
The high-priced specialties were
jounced around by the professionals
in the first hour. Radio was pushed
down nearly 10 points to 371, while
American international, one OF the
sensations of the year, added 5
points to yesterdays 10-point jump
and rached a new high at IA War
ner Brothers Pictures continued its
steady climb. and added 31s points
at 1854.
Anaconda's brilliant run up the
scale was all the evidence Wall
Street required that the directors Of
the company on Monday would vote
a fine Christmas present for the
stockholders In the form of a spe-
cial cash dividend or an increase in,
the regular dividend. The company
is making money hand over fist, and
the increase in copper metal prices
to IL cents pound next year will
mean higher earnings for all the
copper companies.
Though all markets in the
financial district are open on Mon
day, many traders were ready To
Tighten up for a short holiday
extending through the Christmas
week. and the bulls were not over
anxious to add to their burdens for
that period. Consequently when
selling orders flowed into the
market they found buying deman1
much less pronounced than in the
last day or two and prices were
inclined to sag.
The business agencies had an
excellent review of trade and
industry for the weekend, particu.
larly as related to holiday buying.
The big retail stores and chain
stores did a rushing business, their
treasures all bulging with money
and the outlook for domestic and
foreign trade never better.
Rails Higher
The railroad stocks sold at a
higher price level in the second
hour. High grade dividend rails
like New York Central and Balti-
more and Ohio commanded the best
prices of the week, while Erie led
the move in the non-dividend rails.
The weekend commodity markets
were steady,

d. c. Savings Deposits Gain


Total savings deposits in banks
Of the District of Columbia for the
year 1928 will amount to $96 .299 900,
according to figures compiled by the
American Bankers Association This
averages $1S4 per inhabitant and is
a gain of $40 per inhabitant over the
year 1927, Or 1872 per cent per in
habitant. 1t. also, is a gain of 1873
per cent over the savings per inhabi-
tant in 1913. 10 years ago. This tre-
mendous volume of savings was
made by 344.295 depositors in local
banks.
The statistics show a steady gain
in the Middle Atlantic States. which
section includes the District of Co
lumbia. and a gain of $36 per in
habitant in this section is reported
by w. Espey AIbig, deputy mana
ger of the American Bankers AS
sociation in charge of it's savings
bank division. He finds total saw
ings in banks in the Middle Atlantic
States aggregated Sl1 .364 900
June 30, 1928. and the number of
savings deposits in that section were
1855 ,057.
THE Middle Atlantic States show
q per capita gain of $36 in the
year ended June 80. 1928. and New
York stands first in the United
states in its gains In savings,
which are $40 per inhabitant over
the previous year" Mr.. Albig says
in his report. The District Of Co
lnmbia this year had a gain Of $40
with a percentage increase higher
than any other state in the group
save one-MaryIand Maryland two
years ago began an increase in sav.
ings which has continued during
the present year. AS of June 30
1926 the gain over the preceding
year was Sc per inhabitant; in 1927
1t was $50. and in 1928. $37. indi-
eating real and widespread rosper
fty in every part of the State. Pos
slblyz no State in the East had de-

few years to bring about diversifi-

Optic Nerve, Injured Ten Years

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
DENVER, November 23.-Ten years
of serni-blindness apparently had come
to an end yesterday for Alberta Colson,
18. in the same way the disability began,
from a slight blow on the side of the
head
When she was years old, Miss Col
son fell and struck her head on the
frozen ground. The blow caused an
injury to an optic nerve that caused her
sight gradually to grow DINNER. She
was able to get around by herself be-
cause she could see things indistinctly
at a distance.
The other day Miss Colson struck her
head on a metal projection in the bath
room of her home. The blow was
severe enough to cause the blood to flow
from a cut on the side of her head.
"I was stunned for a moment" Miss
Colson said, then i noticed the room
suddenly had become lighter than usual.
Out in the kitchen I was able to read
indistinctly the figures on calendar
A short time later was able to tell
time by looking at a clock"
Today Miss Colson was able to read
a newspaper. Oculists believe that the
nerve, injured 10 years ago, was some
how snapped into place by the recent
blow.
