NEW YORK, November 21.-With
sales running above the 5000 000-share
day level, price trends on the New York
Stock Exchange were divergent today,
with Radio again the spectacular per-
former.
This stock bounded up to 1919 for an
overnight gain Of $21 and $11 beyond
yesterdays peak figure. Dupont and
Case Threshing, which sold around $500
yesterday, and International Harvester,
which approached $4O0, fell So to $5
under yesterdays closing prices. Ma
tionaI Biscuit and Union Carbide sold
So higher, while Wright Aero and Keith
Albee preferred rose $6.
Recession Of So to SIS were chalked
up against Adams Express, Internation-
al Nickel, Republic Steel, May Depart
ment Stores, Union Pacific and North
ern Pacific. American Metal, National
Acme, Liquid Carbonic, Federal Mining
8E Smelling, American Woolen and Otis
Elevator advanced to new high ground.
Heavy selling came into the market
Go VI d0CA0 WCkC AAAClAICA W bcbhC JULIUS
after yesterdays sweeping advances, in
apprehension Of a technical reaction.
The ticker was Swamped as usual
these days, falling more than an hour
behind the trading early in the after
noon.
Sales Volume Dropped.
In an effort to keep pace with the
record-breaking Hoover market" the
exchange, beginning tomorrow, will
drop from the ticker all sales volume
except at the opening.
This action was decided upon when
yesterdays tape at the close of the mar
ket was two hours and A. minutes be-
hind. BY carrying only the prices on
sales it is believed the ticker can be
speeded up from IS to so per cent. To-
tai sales of individual stocks will be
given to press associations and news
papers two or three times daily. Total
sales yesterday reached 6,811 300 shares
in contrast to the previous high of g.
714000 made last Friday.
Attracted by the booming market.
hundreds of visitors have been throng-
ing the financial district daily, swell
ing the crowds of employees and traders
and Straining the restaurants and Gus
toners rooms of brokerage Offices to
capacity. Many brokerage Offices have
removed the chairs from their Gus
toners Offices, and those that remain
are generally held by one person all
day-the one who arrived first in the
morning. Despite this, the rooms have
been jammed almost to the point of
Suffocation.
Restaurants have hired extra help in
an effort to meet the demand, but their
floor space being limited, they have
been unable to install more tables or
chairs and many patrons have been
forced to eat standing up.
Clerks Busy All Night.
Whole suites and floors of hotels have
been taken by brokerage firms for
their employees who do not wish to
waste the time going to and from their
homes.
The lights in Wall Street burn all
night, clerical forces working extra
hours In relays in an effort to catch
up with the bookkeeping necessary to
keep their firms accounts up with the
market.
From many quarters came demand
for a Saturday closing of the exchange
TO allow brokerage employees a chance
to catch their breath. This action was
resorted to last Spring when the vol
ume of trading was much less than it
is at the present time. So far the ex-
change governors have given no indi-
cation that they intend to grant the
request. Most of the wire facilities are
taken on Six-day week basis, it was
pointed out and many firms dislike to
pay high tolls on an idle wire, and op-
pose any more holidays.
