mendous activity and excited advance:
overshadowing number of interesting
movements in other parts of the market
The list as a general affair, was
somewhat firmer than of late and was
scarcely affected by bad breaks in one
or two industrials.
Advances Are Rapid.
Stimulated by publication of reports
that another important investment
company was being organized to &C
Quire substantial holdings OF number
of upstate properties enthusiasm for
those shares ran high. The opening
was featured by huge buying orders
for both Buffalo, Niagara and Eastern
issues at substantial gains over the pre-
ceding close. On top OF their previous
gains the common scared another
points and the "a" was not far behind
and established new high prices well
above 500 a Share.
Northeastern Power also displayed
outstanding strength, selling above 1tS
previous high, while Mohawk Hudson

pushed up aggreSsively in the genera
enthusiasm. st. Regis Paper and Nj
agara shares which hold stocks in the
companies involved in the new develop
ment, moved with the others. Other
strong members of the division included
Duke Power. the Super Power shares,
United Gas Improvement and Penn
Ohio Edison.
The buoyancy had the effect of halt
ing liquidation in. Commonwealth d
Southern, which recovered somewhat
after duplicating the former low. The
company made public today formal
terms for an exchange of shares with
Commonwealth Edison, Penn-Ohlo- Ed
son and Southeastern Power & Light.
Electric Bond & Share lost some OF
its recent momentum following publlca-
ton of the report for IL months, which
showed the market value of the securl-
ties held on that date to be equal to
$104 a share.
In the industrial division, Checker
Cab, which has displayed a sagging
tendency nearly all week, broke violently
to 81 before midday from the previous
closing price of Sc. Liquidation was due
to reports of taxi rate war In the
principal cities by the entrance of new
competitive concern. Croker Wheeler
was another weak exception.
Other Issues Gain.
Prominent on the side of advance
were Goldman, Sachs Trading, Hazel
tine, Firestone Tire, Gold Seal Elec-

Control and some of the newer listings
like Grand Rapids Varnish. which was
influenced by a report showing an in

the exception of Niles Bement-Pond

NEW ORLEANS.-Retail trade in

of smaller proportions than that Of a

buying Of cheaper rather than the finer

goods is larger, but the dollar value not
so large.

plenty to eat right at hand"
What did they have to eat?" de-
manded Peter bluntly.

piled Thalessa.
"But they couldn't have eaten the

There isn't as much Of him as there
was" replied Thalessa. IF you look ct
him, you'll notice that he isn't very fat
In fact, he isn't fat at all. He looks to
me little shrunken. You see; those
little grubs ate the fat under the skin.
When they had eaten enough, each one
made little hole in the skin and came

Peter drew long breath.

"Oh, my goodness, look at thatl"
It was no wonder that Peter ex-
claimed. Little lids were opening on the
upper ends of those .cocoons on the
caterpillar's back. AS soon as O lid few
open tiny fly crawled out of each little
cocoon. They were such tiny flies that
Peter would hardly have been likely to
notice them had he not been watching
those cocoons so closely. AS soon as
they were out of the cocoons they
stretched their wings, and in few mo-
ments they were flying, some this way
and some that way.
Where are they going now?" cried
Peter.
ITO look for more caterpillars," re-
piled Thalessa. Nov you know Just

RED|SCQUNT RATE
IS NOW Unit ORM
Reduction in New York Seen
by Authorities Here as
Normal Trend.

Reduction Of the rediscount rate al
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
from 6 to per cent brings the New
York rate in line with all other Federal
Reserve Bank rates of the country, and
il considered by authorities here az re-
fleeing the return to more normal con-
ditions of the credit situation In New
York.
Action OF the New York bank taken
yesterday with approval OF the Federal
Reserve Board restored the level CT in
tcrest rats which were in effect under
Reserve system auspices in New York
last August. and which then were
stepped UP to higher level largely, IN
the opinion of credit and finance OBJ
servers. because of the growing credit
demands entailed by security specula-
ton.
Action Forecast Here.
The reduction in New York's rate in
the afternoon was authoritatively fore
cast in official circles here yesterday
morning.
AS the New York rate came down, the
Reserve Board announced also an UNI
precedented shrinkage OF loans to broK-
ers and dealers In securities IN New
York, which amounted TO 81 ,O96. O0O,OOo
for the week.
Earlier in the day, also. the Bank Oh
England reduced a rediscount rate that
was raised in the late Summer. There
was the customary absence OF official
comment by the board on rediscount
action, and there was no indication OF
any communication between American
credit authority and central bank man.
agements in England or elsewhere.
Regarded as Coincidence.
Those familiar with board procedure
in washington considered that the re-
discount rate drops in both New York
and London on the same day did not
mean any concerted action Of central
bank authority, but could be regarded
as coincidence in worldwide
financial situation of easing strains on
credit.
Demand for lowering of the England
bank rate at the first opportunity is
understood to have been general in that
country, and the separate actions were
believed here to register merely the
recognition of general credit conditions
which had altered for both institutions.
