CURB SHARES GAIN
IN STRONG RALLY
Utilities, Pipe Line and oil
Issues Featured in
Upturn.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, December 3.-Sweeping
aside the hesitancy characterizing open
ing quotations, curb stocks, under the
leadership of utilities, pipe lines and
oils, staged impressive rallies today.
One of the most hopeful signs of the
rally was that it failed to bring out in
creased offerings. Trading was inclined
to slacken rather than speed up.
Early leaders in the utilities were
Electric Bond & Share, which at times
was up more than points, and Amer
lean Superpower and United Light &
Power, up /. American & Foreign
Power warrants, in sympathy with the
shares over on the big board, was
pushed up more than points
Standard Power & Light at one
time showed a gain of Is points as
result Of larger earnings and prospects
of consolidation. Consolidated Gas of
Baltimore, freed from the shackles of
a voting trust, advanced.
Illinois Pipe Line at intervals was
up nearly points, while Buckeye, Eu-
reka, Indiana, National Transit and
Missouri Kansas Pipe, the latter a nat
ural gas line, likewise were firmer.
Anglo-American Oil shared the oil
spotlight in point of activity with Cities
Service. The former reflects arbitrage
operations between it and Standard
Oil Export Corporation preferred over
on the produce exchange Anglo-Amer-
lean non-voting preferred is exchange
able at the rate of 5 So shares for
each Standard Oil Export Corporation
preferred, dividends on which are guar
anteed by Standard Oil of New Jersey.

representing the cleanup of distressed
speculative accounts, were thrown on
the market, at one time breaking Penn
road to 1884.
Mine shares braced and carried New
mont along with them. A group of
London copper SPECTATORS now visit
ing this city have told several leading
American copper companies that Is

posterous," but thus far producers here
have not shown an inclination to cut
prices.

Cotton opened steady at unchanged

cline seemed to be checked by trade
buying around IT'S for May, and after
showing net losses of about 4 to 5
points prices steadied up on cover
ing which was probably promoted by
smaller private crop figures. Fluctua-
tions were narrow, but the market held
steady and within a point or two of
yesterdays closing quotations at the
end of the first half hour. A pri-
vate crop report was published plac-
ing the yield at 14,869 900 bales. This

estimated ginning prior to December /,

Liverpool cables reported that trade
selling had been supplied by hedge
selling and continental liquidation in
the market there and said there was
fair inquiry for cotton cloth from
India but that many offers were inn
practicable.

TRADE IN PHILADELPHIA
SHOWS SOME EXPANSION
pecial Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
PHILADELPHIA, December 3.-Con-
ditions in trade and industry of the
Philadelphia Federal Reserve district,
while showing considerable variation,
are following the trends usual at this
season. Production, on the whole, has
slackened, while distribution of mer-
chandise to the consumer is expand
ing.
Retail trade in October increased
slightly more than the average Of recent
years and was we'll ahead Of the volume
in the same month last year. Nearly all
lines of wholesale and jobbing trade
also reported somewhat more than the
seasonal gains between October and
September. In comparison with a year
ago, the dollar volume was slightly
larger. Preliminary reports from mer-
chants indicate that the whole trade
in the first fortnight of November was
holding up we'll, although seasonal de-
clines in some lines were apparent. Re-
tail sales, on the other hand, showed
expansion, which naturally occurs at
Christmas time.
Sales of new passenger automobiles
declined appreciably during the month,
but we're larger than in october. 1928.
Life insurance sales in this section. on
the other hand, increased seasonally

GERMANS Will NOT
FORGIVE DEAD FOCH
Hindenburg Refuses Comment
Because Many Bitter People
Would Not Understand

Berlin, March 81. - (AP) - Many
Germans never forgave Marshal Foch
for the brusqueness Of the final scene
in the armistice.
In that feeling may be found per-
haps the explanation Of much Of the
coldness and In some cases open hos
tility of editorial comment in German
newspapers today at his death.
"He spared us nothing" says the
Boersen Courier, remarking that Foch
must have been sorely disappointed
at giving up his dream Of invading
Germany. Lokal Anzeiger assailed
the dead marshal bitterly as an in
veterate German hater.
Toward beaten enemy Focl1
showed no chivalry," said the Deut-
scae Allegemeine Zeitung. "He re-
manned our enemy until his DEATH"
The Nationalist Allgemeine Zeitung
comments that Foch twas the brutal
henchman Of Poincare's ruthlessness. y
IAN effort to obtain some formal
comment on the marshal's death from
President Won Hindenberg met with q
refusal, not. it was said, because the
German president did not have the
highest regard for his opponents abil-
lity, but because he was no longer q
field marshal. but the head Of : ma
tion.
"The German people simply would
not understand why he should pay
tribute to the man who 50 deeply
Inundated the German armistice
commission" m advisor Of President
Won Hindenberg said.
1T is not his qualities Of soldier
that we question. but tho manner II
which he rubbed In his authority"
