irregular reaction late in the day can
celed earlier advances on the Curb Ex-
change with mixed price changes at
the close. The selling was heaviest an
hour before the end with final partial
rally. The only reason for the down.
ward trend was sympathy with similar
movement on the Stock Exchange.
Notwithstanding the late selling two
issues managed to make new peaks
One of them was National Investors,
which at 1919 was up 5134 on the day
after a rise of 80 points in the preceding
session. Another was Ground Grlpper
Shoe, which made a gain OF some
points.
Trading was heavy all day, with the
ticker behind business on the floor. Up
to late in the afternoon the buyers had
the better Of 1t.
Utilities, investment trusts, oils and
a few industrials furnished the most in
teresting movements. Natural gas stocks
proved favorites among the utilities. as
such shares as Memphis Natural Gas
and United Gas reached record highs.
National Fuel Gas and Arkansas Gas
were well taken during part OF the
session.
Trading Features.
National Public Service B also en-
loved a wide range, at one time being
more than 8 points above its previous
close.
Along with the brisker demand for
the Standard Oils, the pipe line shares
benefited. Among the miscellaneous
oils some of the South American group,
such as Venezuelan Petroleum., I'M
proved.
Newmont Mining was a feature IN
the mine shares, rising to new hlgh
on a gain of more than 6 points. The
Bwana MKubwa Copper Mining Co.,
which made its initial appearance on
the curb, was active but not much
changed. Other mine shares were some
what lower.
In the investment trust section Ma
tional Investors, its subsidiary. Fourth
National Investors, and Transamerica
Corporation new, along with Reliance
Management, which is forming new
company, attracted most attention.
The Goldman Sachs group, which has
been subjected to much arbitrating and
switching operations lately, was some
what better than in the preceding seS-
sion This was also true of Blue Ridge,
Shenandoah and Central States Elec-
trio. Aviation Shares, if Dayton Air
plane Engine be excepted, were inactive
and inclined toward softnesS.
Ground Gripper Shoe was whirled
to a new high level, following a flash
from Chicago to the effect that direc-
tors are to meet here next week to
discuss the possibility of an extra divi-
dend. U. S. Hypsum pointed upward
after it was announced that the corpor-
alton had arranged for the distribution

SINCLAIR GETS
FREEDOM FROM
CAPITAL JAIL,
Oil Magnate Declares He
Was 'RailrOaded' BY
Government.
By KENNETH G.. CRAWFORD
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Nov. 81. U.D-
Harry +. Sinclair, oil operator and
sportsman, returned to the life OF
luxury his millions can buy today
after seven months existence in the
District Jail here on plain prison
fare and among simple accommoda-
tiOns
His sentences for contempt OF
court and contempt of the senate
growing out Of the Teapot Dome oil
Investigations expired shortly after
midnight and a few moments later,
dressed in neat, expensive clothing,
he was resting in luxurious quarters
at the Mayflower hotel.
Accompanied by his brother, E.
w. Sinclair, and his attorney, G. r.
Stanford, the wealthy exprisoner
left later in the day in a huge linn
CUISINE for New jersey. Reports that
he planned to stop at the Bowie
racetrack where one of his horses
was due to run, could not be veri-
fled.
81 was railroaded to jail in vio-
lation of common sense and common
fairness" Sinclair said in a formal
statement issued to the press short
ly before his release at 1907 a. m.
"The great power and prestige of the
government were employed against
me under hostile influences and by
campaign that unjustly described me
as defiant of law"
Served Two Terms
Sinclair entered the Jail May 6,
under sentence to three months for
contempt of the senate because he
refused to answer questions pro-
punded by its investigating commit
tee. Before his release from this
term, he was sentenced to six months
more for contempt of court, a charge
resulting from jury shadowing ac-
tivities during his trial with former
Secretary of Interior Albert b. Fall
for conspiracy. Part of thetwo sent
onces ran concurrently and Sinclair's
term was shortened further by time
allowed for good behavior.

and lost little time in quitting his
cell, close to the Jail pharmacy over
which he has presided since his in
CA ceration. Early experience as a
druggist, before he struck it rich in
the oil fields, fitted him for the
work of compounding medicine for
the Jail physician.

CANADA'SSTAND
ON PAPER PRICE
R0UNDLY FLAYED

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 2l. U.P)-The st.
Louis Star, in an editorial today
headed "Canada's Mailed Fist said:
"The threat of the Canadian gov
ernment through Premier Howard
Ferguson to strike at every news
paper publisher in America, and,
secondarily, at every newspaper
reader, by forcing higher price
of newsprint paper at time when
most other commodities are declln-
ing, should have the immediate at
tention of congress and the state de-
partment at Washington.
"Proper means should be devised
promptly to avert this action and to
protect the interests of those af-
fectcd," the editorial went on.
"The law of supply and demand
is supposed to govern the price of
commodities of every nature" the
editorial said, "but the Canadian
government proposes to hold this
law in abeyance and force upon the
publishers of America an arbitrary
price based upon force instead of
natural price, oased on supply anu
demand"
If the price of newsprint is raised
the Star said not only would cur
tailment of consumption result in
less reading matter, but sat a time
when all factors point to decreas-
ed price, Il raise in advertising rates
must follow. This would mean an
added burden on business right at a
time when it is struggling to keep
volume levels from falling, follow
ing the stock market debacle."
"Direct representations should be
made to the Canadian government
by the proper Washington authori-
ties to point out the obvious unfair
ness and unsoundneSs of such price
fixing move, and the equally obvious
trouble ahead for both countries if
rrtaliatorY measures are necessary
to stop it," the Star said.

EARLY MORNING
BLAZE CAUSES
HEAVY DAMAGES

Fire, which for time threatened
to cngulf the whole business section
of the city broke out at $50 a. NJ,
this morning in the workshop of DR..
Fixit, 639 Main street and before it
could be checked, spread to the Red
Front and PIGGY Wiggly grocery
stores, adjoining.
Charles Rosenquest. of the local
police department, was driving up
the alley in back of these establish
ments when he noticed the blaze
coming from an electric generator
in DR.. FiXit's workshop. RosenNuest,
unable to break through tine door at
the rear of the building, hurried to
fire headquarters and had the de-
partment on its way in record time
In the meantime 4 can of gasoline
had exploded and spread the flames
to the store room Of the Red Front
grocery and the Piggy Wiggly.
Packing cases, straw and other in
fl?mmables We're food for the grow
ing flames and within few minutes
regular inferno developed.
"Fire out" was sounded at O'Clock
and several of the volunteers were
left on hand in case the fire should
break out anew.
An estimate of damages caused
shows that DIR. Fixit's workshop is
in ruins, all his equipment, tools
and two automobiles stored in the
building being destroyed with loss
of about $4,000. The storeroom of
the Red Front was badly damaged
by water as well as fire, estimated
AT $4,000 Piggly Wiggly was the
worst sufferer. The roof caved in;
all the recently installed equipment,
show cases and racks were scorched
aud the entire stock will have to be
gone over before real estimate can
be given. Store officials place the
loss at between 500, GOO and $4,000.
