News Trend.
Loadings of revenue freight for the
week ended November 8, while below
same week of 1928, showed a much
smaller decline than had the previous
two weeks. Total loadings of 1,O49, ATS
cars were only 4,878 cars, or less than
one-half per cent, below the 1928 week.
Grain products, ore and forest products
showed a decline of about $4,000 from
year ago, while remaining classical
tons increased moderately. Grain Ship
ments this Fall have consistently fallen
below the corresponding periods of
1923 as q result largely of the with
holding of grain from the market until
such a time as better prices prevail.
This, therefore, does not involve a loss
of revenue to the railroads, but merely
a postponement
The recent stock market readiust-
ment is still being reflected in cor

Market Turns Upward After
Losses at Opening.
Money 5 Per Cent.
BY STANLEY w. PRENCSIL,
associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, November 19.-Trading
showed a further falling off in volume
in today's market, with prices rallylng
briskly after an early period Of heavi-
ness. There were a few soft spots scat
tered throughout the list, but most OF
the leaders sold / to 1912 points above
yesterdays final quotations.
Absence of any forced or panicky
liquidation as a result of the announce
menC of the first Stock Exchange fall
ure lust before the close of yesterdays
market, coupled with the beginning Of
President Hoover's conferences to slim
ulate business, helped to revive conf
dence in the market. Except for an
increase in the annual dividend rate
on Consolidated Gas of Baltimore and
a few favorable earnings reports, there
was little in the days business news to
influence the price movement.
Call Money Plentiful.
Call money was in plentiful supply at
the renewal figure of per cent, with
loans in the outside market reported at
4 and Az per cent. Other monetary
markets also showed an easier under
tone,
The quiet, orderly character of the
days trading was widely nailed by
brokers as a constructive development.
After the violent convulsive movements
of the past month. most brokers were
agreed that period of comparative rest
and narrow fluctuations was needed
until the effect of the recent securities
decline on business could be definitely
ascertained. While some brokers con-
tinued to urge their customers to stay
on the sidelines for the time being,
others continued to make buying recon-
rnendations for seasoned dividend-pay-
ing stocks.
United States Steel was again a
leader, steady accumulation of that
issue carrying it up to 16414, with the
stock at no time selling below $50 where
strong support was apparent. A brisk
demand also developed for such issues
as American Can, American Telephone,
General Electric and Johns Manville,
some of which had opened with mod
crate declines.'
Odd-Lot Buying Gains.
Odd-lot buying orders again appeared
in rather large volume, testifying to
renewed demand for stocks by small
investors. Few blocks of more than
5000 shares changed hands during the
three-hour session.

Costs Exactly $777 to

Brusses.--It costs exactly SIR. or
1900 Belgian francs, TO become a
baron of the kingdom of Belgium. And
there Is no record ms yet OF any per-
son having refused the title because u
cost too much.
King Albert confers from three to
FIVE titles Of nobility every year, most
" to elderly gentlemen Of great merit.
In most cases the title Of baron Is con-
ferred md only In exceptional cases

Of noblemen Is not much increased
by the kings annual distribution OF
titles. rs the holders and tselr wives
usually are too aged to enjoy 1t for

documents. without such a certificate
the title is not worth cent. With

Five OF six cases are known where

FINDS OXYGEN is
REALLY TRIPLETS
New Facts Discovered by
Study of Light.

Berkeley, Calif.-Oxygen, the gas
which constitutes q fifth of the air
we breathe, and which is essential
to our life, Is really triplets. It is
not twins. as was recently suggested,
or single, as II was thought for many
years.
This has been discovered here by
two University of California expert
mentors. Prof W. r. Giauque and II.
L. tombstone. They have found that
oxygen In the air consists not only of
the element with atomic weight of
sixteen but that there are small num-
hers of heavier atoms.
Some weigh seventeen and others
weigh eighteen. These make up forms
OF oxygen which are like ordinary
oxygen In all respects except atomic
weight, and are called isotopes of oxy-
gen. Many other elements, notably
lead, have been found to have lso-
topes, chemically similar, but of diff
ferent atomic weight.
The investigators have discovered
this fact from study of the way
light is absorbed as 1t passes through
thick layer of air. rs with sunlight
In the late afternoon. The oxygen alb
serbs certain wave lengths OF light,
md from these Professor Giauque and
Mr.. tombstone have calculated the
weight of the atoms that produce the
effect.
Recently they found that some of
the oxygen molecules were made of
an atom of weight sixteen combined
with one of weight eighteen. Since
they announced this they have dis
covered the presence of the third iso-
tope, so that there Is still third
kind OF oxygcne molecuIe, consisting
of an atom Of weight sixteen COM
bined with one Of weight seventeen.
However. the atoms of weight six
teen must he in the vast majority,
and the typical molecule must con-
sist Of pair OF atoms Of weight six
teen, as the atomic weight Of ordinary
oxygen has been determined to be six
teen with great precision.
Any great amount of the other iso-
TOPICS would make the average atomic
weight of oxygen appreciably greater
than this figure.
