BANKERS HOLD
IMPORTANT
MEETING
by HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

Prospective appointments to the
various convention committees OF
the District of Columbia Bankers As
sociation will be discussed at a meet
ing Of the council of administration
of the association to be held late this
afternoon, it was announced today
by Robert v. Fleming, president of
the association. The meeting will be
held at the offices of President Elem.
ing at the Riggs National Bank, in
stead of association headquarters, as
is customary.
Another matter that will come up
before the council meeting will in.
clude the proposed bylaws for the
new safe deposit section of the as
ISOLATION.
That the 1929 convention of the
association will be one of the most
successful in the history of the
organization is the prediction al
ready made by leading Washington
bankers following the recent an
nouncement of President Fleming's
appointment of C. III. Pope, of the
Munsey Trust Company, as general
chairman of the convention. Mr..
Pope, a serious and energetic
worker, has already communicated
with members Of the association,
asking for suggestions that would
tend to make theg coming one an
outstanding success and eliminate
any possible criticism afterward.

NEW YORK, Dec. 2&. (I.N.S. 49,
Thursdays closing rally was car
ried into early trading in the
stock market today and prices Of
the favorite Industrial, motor car,
copper and speciality stocks climbed
Us points. The reserve boards re-
port showed another 9,300, 900
shrinkaQe in brokers' borrowings,
which showed that rich and power
full traders, rather than the little
bulls, were buying bundles of stock.
Instead Of starting at low rate
and working UP, call money was
posted at IL per cent as starter,
with the prospect of a further in
crease before the end of the day.
Most of the markets blue chips"
raced up at the opening, reaching
higher price levels in the first half
hour. Radio sold up s points at
376, Sears Roebuck gained 3h,
Montgomery Ward 4, Kennecott
Copper 4. General Electric Az, At
lantic Refining 21s, National Bellas
Hess 5. Johns ManvilIe added IN
to yesterdays 9-point jump and
sold at 1861, exactly 100 points
above the price at which it gradu-
ated from the curb to the big board
a few months ago. Wright Aero
gained 6.
Picking up the forward move
that was interrupted week ago,
the motor stocks kept step with the
advance, Chrysler again providing
the leadership. This stock sold
above 126 for 2-point gain, Nash
up 2. Hupp 2, Briggs Manufacturing
2, and WHY'S Overland fractionally
higher in active trading.
Stock sales in the first half-hour
were close to 100000 shares. Buy
ing orders piled up faster than the
market could handle them, the
ticker fell behind about 20 minutes
and emergency reporting OF quota
tions over the bond tape was again
resorted to. Wall Street believes
bankers would do all in their power
to prevent the money rate from
soaring above IL per cent, even if
resort to the Federal Reserve banks
were necessary.
Erie was again the feature of the
rails, with a new 2-point jump to
the years highest price of 721s.
Chesapeake Il Ohio firmed up on
announcement OF complete with
drawal Of minority opposition to
the merging of the road in the
greater Nickel Plate system.
Selling orders flooded the market
in the second hour. and most of the
early gains were wiped out. Late
ness of the ticker was confusing to
the host of traders in the commits
sion houses, and the market was
irregular and unsteady around the
noon period.

NEW YORK, Dec. -StoclkhoId-
ers in American Industrial Cor
porations have received 6O,O00,OOO
shares Of new stock as the result
OF stock split-ups and stock divi-
dends by rs well-known corporations
since the middle Of the year.
The advantage Of the stock divi-
dend Is two-fold. First, 1t provides
the corporations with q fair and
equitable method OF distributing q
part OF its accumulated surplus TO
it's stockholders, who are in reality
the owners of the business; second,
it helps to distribute stock in the
market by reducing the price per
share on stocks which otherwise
would be beyond the ordinary purse.
Want Investors
Let it be quite fully understood
that American Industrial Corpora
tion heads are extremely anxious to
affect as wide q distribution as pos
sible of their stocks and bonds to
the investor.
In every case they are anxious
to win and hold the investor who
buy stocks for keeps" rather than
the margin trader who Is concerned
only with the snatching Of a profit
in the speculative markets.
Apart from the enormous adver-
tising derived from liberal stock
dividend or broad split-up Of shares,
the corporations are able to add
enormously to their stock holding
families as the price Of the stock
unit has been reduced.
Some Big SpIit-ups
Though not in every case has the
distribution Of new shares been
completed, official action making
possible the distributing Of stock
has been taken and only the carry
ing out OF the details remains to
be done.
A list of a dozen of the most
prominent industrial corporations
operating in stock split-up channels
Is attached herewith:
