AL, Elkton, ways and means of Inn
proving the Nurses Training school

house additional nurses and to pro-
vide an adequate class room for in
struction.

mittee consisting of DR.. Bratton, j.

STOCK PRICES DROP
AT SHORT SESSION
Market Works LoWer-Mo-

Under Pressure.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 1-Prices
worked lower in today's short Stock Ex-
change session. The pressure was great
est on the motors and coppers, but with
the exception of few specialties. one
or two rails and few oils, the declines
were uniform.
The selling increased as noon ar-
preached, when the stocks, which had
resisted earlier weakened. Montgomery
Ward down over 10 points; Packard
off more than 5: Wright Aeronautical
down 7, and General Electric, of more
than 5, were a few among the many
losses.
The collapse of Canadian Marconi Co
on the curb still had depressing effect
on sentiment. The showing by the
Federal Reserve statement and the in
crease in brokers loans to still another
new high were also sobering influences
Probably short selling was factor too
but desire on the part of the longs tc
close out commitments was more
important.
The volume was not up to yesterdays
which those committed to the rise took
as a favorable omen From 10 to l0:3C
o'clock sales today were 775,6 shares
compared with 100000 shares yester-
day.
Motor stocks we're lower, with one
notable exception, Hudson. General
Motors dipped below 2ll to a new low
on the current reaction. Hupp was
heavily sold, and at 80 it had Cancelled
half Of Fridays gain. Packard came
down nearly 5 points. Timken Roller
Bearing was of points. Yellow Truck
and Coach opened on block of 5000
shares at Al, down 3ls Against these
declines was q gain in Hudson of over
3 points in the hrst hour.
Krogcr Grocery was the outstanding
feature In the chain store list. It ad-
vanced over 6 points as it crossed 130.
Sears Roebuck sold off. while Montgon1-
cry Ward was little changed.
The copper stocks we're uniformly
reactionary. Andes, below so, was down
more than 6 points from It's recent high.
Greene Cananea, Chile, Anaconda and
Kennecott all sagged. International
Nickel jumped nearly IA points at the
start, then came down 6. The Steels
moved sympathetically. United States
Steel was of almost points at the
opening, recovering part Of the loss
afterWard.
In the railroad list PENNSYLVANIA
stood out strong at new high since
1909. selling at "A. New York Central
dropped back after Fridays sharp rise.
Standard Oil stocks were heavily
bought. Standard of New York went to
a new high for the year. Standard of
New Jersey came down in the second
half Of the session under realizing sales.
More interest was taken in Tidewater
Associated and In Tidewater, the old
stock. The latter was particularly
strong.

Special pispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. December 1.-THE
month ending yesterday has witnessed
the most consistent strength In the
stock market Of any similar period in
the long course of rising prices. It is
estimated that the appreciation in the
values Of listed stocks will be as great,
If not greater, than in August, when it
amounted to 1900, ,o00, 900.
On this basis the total appreciation
since the market turned after the June
break will approximate $5,000,0o0, 900.
This does not take into account the
relatively great expansion in values
that has occurred in the long list of
stocks quoted in the New York curb
market or in that of bank, insurance,
and investment trust securities which
have also been buoyant, with some of
them outdistancing the quotations made
last Spring.
The November market has been con-
spicuous for its breadth as we'll as for
its size. Practically every group of
listed stocks has at some time taken
part in the upward movement under
! the influence of a nationwide specula-
tion. In October, for instance, the pub
| lie utilities and the rails we're depreSs-
| ed. Motors were also lower than in the
month previous. Last month the rail-
road shares enjoyed participation
in general movement and the public
utilities have been features in the trad
| ing of the last two weeks.
On account of the large number OF
shares outstanding the advance this
month in the oils. and particularly those
in the Standard group, adds a substan-
tial item to the total valuation. The
mining and smelling stocks have con-
t1nued to gain ground Mail order
shares had sensational gains with
Montgomery Ward alone tacking 80
points to its October price. In October
the iron and steel issues exhibited only
a moderate advance. but in November
they have taken a prominent part.
