RECORD OF STOCK

Dropping of Sales Volume Figures
Enables Ticker to Keep
Pace.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

| Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. November 23.-By a
series of experiments covering many
| months the New York Stock Exchange
authorities have reduced the work of
the operators on the floor and given
the public a quicker view of what is
taking place around the trading posts.
Looking back, it is now possible to see
how cumbersome the old system was,
when full information was given with
each transaction, to identify not only
the stock dealt in but the unit of trade
in the stock. One by one different
groups of symbols have been dropped
until the quotation is the only remain
ing evidence available. After all, this
is what mostly concerns the buyer or
seller.
When the volume of transactions on
the Stock Exchange began to expand
and to test the facilities for printing
the record of the days market the
exchange authorities started in to SIM
plify the work of reporting by reducing
the number Of letters in each stock
symbol. Some of these contained two
letters and some three. They were cut
down to one letter. Then the symbols
were arranged alphabetically instead of
in hodge-podge way. as they had been
previously. The first revolutionary
change, and one that temporarily ex-
cited much criticism in brokers' offices,
was the dropping of the full price of
the stock after its complete initial quo
tation in the morning and subsequently
using only the last figure in the price.
Wall Street quickly accommodated itself
to this abbreviation and has gone
through the biggest market in the
worlds history since and scarcely no.
ticed 1t. Another simplification was a
reduction in the unit of trading to one
or two figures. Now the trading units
have been dropped entirely from the
stock ticker and showed over on to the
bond ticker, which ran off long strings
of them at various times yesterday.
The effect of all of these abbrevi-
ations up to the last one introduced
was not visible, for in spite of them
the tape has frequently been from one
hour to an hour and half behind the
market. Yesterdays innovation. how
ever, speeded up conditions greatly and,
although the market was again of tre-
mendous size, 1t was only compare
lively little way behind time during
the day. Those who base their trading
operations on volume of transactions
were somewhat disappointed, as thev
could not get the trend of the market
from this source. Every one else was
pleased with the way the system worked
and 1t is hoped that by the continued
use of it Wall Street may be able to
catch UP on its delayed business with
out being forced into extra holidays or
a shortened trading period.

ADVANCE IN CURB

Trading Records Shattered

New Tops Reached.

NEW YORK, November 23.-With
the ticker running 40 minutes late at
midday and with all trading records for
the first two hours shattered by today's
tremendous volume of 1,422, 500 shares
during that period, the floor of the
Curb Exchange presented a scene of
wild confusion.
There was every indication that a
new trading record would be estab-
lished for five-hour session because
Of the tendency of the volume to in
crease as the session progressed.
Practically every group was repre-
Sented with one or more new high
records. In the oil group it was Prarie
new peaks, while others continued up
ward for gains of fractions to more than
2 points.
With the facilities of not only the
Curb Exchange but of the brokerage
Offices taxed to their utmost in an
endeavor to keep up with the tre-
mendous activity. 1t was necessary for
the governors of the institution to vote
for full closing Saturday following
similar action by the Stock Exchange
officials.
New nigh records were marked up in
Marconi Wireless Telegraph, Ltd, and
Canadian Marconi. Both issues turned
over in heavy volume on the rise. This
was a direct response to the British
governments approval of the communi-
cations plan, which will result in the
transfer of wireless and cable companies
to private ownership under government
supervision.
Niles -Bement-Pon and Keystone

points; Filene. almost 2 points higher;

PIG IRON BAN REMOVED.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Mellon yesterday lifted the
anti-dumping order against pig iron
from Germany, which has been In effect
since 1925. This product may now be
imported without restriction.
In 1925 the Treasury conducted an
investigation into pig iron imports from
Germany after they had reached a
maximum of 100000 tons. The restric-
ton was then placed on the imports,
which were believed to be injuring the
American industry.
Under the tariff act of 1922, where
commodities are imported for sale at
less than In the country of origin, the
Treasury is empowered to assess duties
to protect the domestic industry. Com
missioner of Customs Camp announced
that imports of pig iron from Germany
have fallen until they are now of a
negligible quantity. Secretary Melons
order, however, provided that should
the imports be resumed in large GUAM
titles. the anti-dumping order should be
renewed.

NEW YORK, November 23.-There

which price movements attracted atten-
ton. These we're the convertible indus
trials and a small list of bonds of man.
ufacturing companies that have recent
ly been weak but have turned about
and are advancing on the improvement
in stocks
Sensational gains occurred once more
In the high-priced copper convertibles.
Andes rs went up by leaps and bounds
and had gained 1872 points at midday
and at this time were l10 points above
their redemption figure. The stock into
which they are convertible has ad-
vanced IS points this month. Anaconda
Copper Is gained another S points, which
placed them nearly rs points above the
low of the year.
Other strong convertibles were j.
Kayser l2s with rise of points,
Pathe rs up points. Cuba Cane Sugar
rs and IS each points and Wickwire
Spencer rs point. There was a lower
tendency in some of the oil company
convertibles. notably Colon 6s and
Transcontinental 6l2s.
In addition to the rise in the Cuba
Cane bonds there were advances of a
point in Eastern Cuba Sugar 71os and
sition of the sugar bonds has materially
improved recently without, however,
any indication of a change for the bet
ter in the sugar trade.
Conditions have also become more
favorable with respect to such bonds as
Lorillard SIS and 5l2s International
Paper 5s and 6s and Certainteed Prod
ucts 5 i2s, which have been subjected to
heavy liquidation, and now appear TO
have successfully weathered it.
The market for strictly investment is
sues was dull, without much change in
prices today, although there has been
some decline from the high level es-
tablished early in the month.
The Treasury will probably announce
the terms of its December financing
early next week, as notice has already
gone out to the Federal Reserve banks
to prepare for it. Opinion is that an
other Short-term loan will be negotiat-
ed. with the rate around per cent.
The market for the last Treasury issues
is on about that basis. though not quite
so high as week ago.
Total issues of bonds this week ran
up to $l67,000,000. the largest output
since June, increased mainly by the
heavy issues of municipal bonds.

UNITED STATES
IN WORLD WAR
Ten Years Ago Today.

The Americans are astride the Ger
mans Kriemhilde line, the last organ
lied defense system between them and
the Belgian border. After a day of
terrific fighting, in which two Prussian
Guard divisions are cut to pieces, our
men drove the enemy back All day
long the Germans put up the strongest
sort of defense, with absolute disregard
tor their losses. In the Argonne Forest
they hurriedly felled trees wired them
and placed machine guns before the
advancing Americans, who, commanded
by Maj, Gen. Billiard drove the enemy
back into the Bots de Forest. .
American troops have joined Gen.
Gouraud's French troops in the Cham
payne sector and together they make a
strong thrust north of Somme-Py and
capture Mont Blanc. Fierce
lighting continues on the British front
as more progress is made northeast of
st. Quentin and toward Lille. Germans
attempt six powerful counterattacks
within "a hours. A British cor
respondent, reporting details OF the
breaking of the Hindenburg line be-
tween Cambria and st. Quentin, says
never have the Germans been seen in
such thick swaths of dead as along the
course the Americans traversed. =
Information from authoritative sources
indicates an early German abandonment
OF the entire Belgian coast. The coun-
try behind the German lines in Flan-
ders Is virtually ablaze everywhere.
Seven hundred and ninety-five
names on our casualty list today-1O4
killed, 100 missing and 452 severely

A Happy Vindication.

On the theory that mere sudden
freedom from pain or distress produces
a revulsion of feeling comparable to
extreme happiness, Charles M. Watts of
the personnel of the municipal govern
ment is today rated happy man. He
has just been freed from an utterly
false cloud of suspicion as to his hon.
esty, under which he had patiently
labored for three years. A fellow en-
ploye is now discovered as the guilty
party, notwithstanding the authoritative
verdict of handwriting experts, who,
sad to relate, are but human and likely
to err.
Forgery was the crime of which Mr..
Watts stood accused 1t was even stated
at one time by the police authorities
that he had confessed. This is known
now to be as erroneous as the accusa-
ton itself. He had nothing to confess
he had done nothing wrong. The. sum
involved was a small one, but this fact
did not palliatefhe distressing feeling

Washington's Storm Relief Quota.

Washington is very proud of its rec
ord Of charity donations in cases of
urgent public needs. 1t has met the
acquisitions made upon 1t in the past
fully and promptly. This record is
continued in the case of storm relief
funds, of which the Districts quota was
first placed at $4,000 and was later
raised to $4,000. Yesterday the Cap
ital went over its quota with a total
at that time of S50,224. This money
has come from thousands of people,
mostly in small sums It has been
given with a minimum of petition. The
need was fully understood as a result
of the news publications. and in every
quarter of the Capital there was i'm
mediate response. Groups in Offices
and in stores in churches, in neighbor-
hoods, in places OF public assemblage
gave their dollars All this money was
asked for in the name of the American
Red Cross and the donation Of it so
abundantly and so quickly was an elo-
oueAt testimony to the confidence of
this community in the integrity and
ability of that organization.
While the quota has been reached, it
h known that there Is need for further

that he had been suspected by some
of his superiors and by some of his
fellow workers and fellow citizens. Such
palliation Is not possible with right
thinking men. The case. in so far as
the legal side was concerned. was
weak one and was nolle pressed, but.
on the other hand, Mr.. Watts was not
exonerated Until a Gay or two ago.
Faithfully and patiently he worked on,
holding his head high. Nothing can
fully compensate him for those weary
months
When a child Is unjustly accused of
wrong doing he is buoyed by the knowl-
edge that when he reaches a certain
age he can assure his relatives or his
friends AS TO his innocence with every
chance of being believed. Provided his
character is of the right sort. his mere
say-so is enough. II Is different with
an adult. No one may have the correct
knowledge save himself and his Maker.
His reservations of innocence are likely
to be wasted effort. Yet we all can
recall distinctly the sense of burning
injustice which asSailed us when
charged with some Juvenile delinquency.
even though We knew time would set
the matter right.
This citizen Of the District and en-
ploye of the Government had no such
assurance. That time - and in this
case, happily. not too long a time
and the confession of the real culprit
have removed this stain from his rec
ord Is a matter of hearty congratula-
ton to him. The police records of the
csse have been promptly Strengthened
out: the official allegation of his con-
fcSsion has been red-inked while the
Board of Commissioners has started
steps looking toward his formal exon
Grafton. 1t is gratifying In this con-
nection to note that the space devoted
in the local newspapers to the relation
of Mr.. Watts relief from suspicion and
grief is noticeably greater than that
devoted to the old proceedings against
him. 1t has been said that the Ameri-
can people like to read about crimes.
but it is an undoubted fact that thew
like better to read OF subsequent exon
erations similar to this one.
