CURB SHARES FIRM
AFTER EARLY GAIN
Market Reacts After Open
ing Rally as Support
Stocks Are Sold.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

NEW YORK, November 20.-Stimu-
lated by the rally that took place in the
final few minutes of Tuesdays trading,
stocks on the Curb today opened high
er. The advance was erased partially
later, for it was used to get rid of stocks
previously acquired for support and to
establish income tax losses.
Oils and utilities led the early rally.
The best gains were recorded and main
tanned by seasoned issues in both groups.
Some of the trading companies staged a
further recovery as they declared initial
dividends on their securities. Aviation
shares showed further improvement, but
their movements continued irregular.
Only a few large blocks of leading
issues appeared at the opening. They
included $4,000 shares of Electric Bond
q Share at 743s, up "a; Cities Service
in 10,000-share deal at 80, unchanged;
Niagara Hudson Power with 1000 shares
at 1434, unchanged, and Creole Petro-
leum in block of $500 shares at Z,
up u.
One of the features of early dealings
was the numerous blocks of Chicago &
Northwestern rights appearing on the
tape. These rights give the privilege
of subscribing for the new Az per cent
convertible bonds of that carrier
The reduction in crude oil output for
the last week, which contrasts sharply
with private estimated increase an
nounced earlier, stimulated investment
purchases of dividend paying Standard
OIL securities. The movement extended
to some of the speculative oils.
Responding to the higher dividend
rate announced Tuesday, the Console
dated Gas of Baltimore opened up
points at 90. Other utilities that moved
upward included American Gas &
Electric, Allied Power & Light and
American Cities Power & Light B.
Bids for railroad shares expressed
confidence in the business outlook, such
as was voiced by the rail executives to
President Hoover when they announced
their expansion program for next year.
Pennroad Corporation opened fraction
ally higher. Chesapeake & Ohio, at
593s, was up 70. Pittsburgh & Lake
Erie at lis opened up 434 points.
The higher-priced industrials firmed
with the rest of the market. Quota
lions on these issues, many of which
enjoy rather limited market, had
been slaughtered in the recent decline,
Early in today's session Aluminium Co.
of America, Deere & Co. and Great
Atlantic & Pacific Tea made advances.

steady Liverpool cables, reports of a

This advance carried January up to
$17.78 and May to 1884, about 100 to

week, which was evidently sufficient to
attract some profit-taking. Reactions

was comparatively steady at the end of

Liverpool cables reported covering
contlnental and Bombay buying in

scarcity of contracts. Offerings here
were light at the start, with very little
Southern selling in evidence.

Disk wheels are in evidence on
from 80 to 80 per cent of the cars.
These are plain metal in some cases
and in others finished with the color
of the car. Sometimes they fol-

Wooden wheels are also shown.
There are also a few wire wheels
finished mostly in black or with q
white metal appearance. A few are
finished in the color of the car or

wheels being always lighter than
the color of the car.
Colored tenders are everywhere
in evidence. They are sometimes
finished in a common color 20 that

the stripping or belt.
LOWERS Are Changed
In some cases efforts have been
made to change the appearance OF
the lowers. Some are horizontal,
others in two rows, still others are

ACCELERAT|ON n
AND POWER
DIFFER

Times Automobile Editor

The driver stops for a red traffic
light. When the light switches green,
he is off with a flash.
"How's that for power?" he asks
his companion on tn, front seat.
Great" says the latter.
Untold times every day that
drama is repeated throughout the
country. If he has no companion to
Eyes" him on the subject. the motor
ist will ask and answer the question
himself. To him, acceleration is
power. And he is right. but only to
a certain extent, it is pointed out by
those who know.
Power Intangible
Power in an automobile engine is
rather an intangible thing, the in.
formed declare. For instance, a car
that might have been left standing
still at the same traffic light from
which the first driver flew away so
rapidly might even have more power.
But it is slower in developing and
delivering the momentum it Is
CdDdDlt VI pIOuCClIlS. he average
motorist puts it down as deficient in
power simply because Of that tor
por.
Because this situation prevails,
motor car manufacturers frankly ad-
init they want snap in their engines.
OF course, they know that traffic de-
mands good getaway and marked
flexibility in automobiles. Yet. on the
other hand. none of them forget that
quickly developed power probably is
more desirable from the car owners
point of view than a high maximum
power. Average driving reveals the
former favorably and quickly. 1t
shows UP the latter with equal speed
but not so favorably.
Power. as pointed out. Is queer IT
may be quite inconstant.
1t was little more than year
ago that a young engineer on the
staff of one of the greatest motor
corporations completed an expert
ment that upset one of motordom's
finest traditions. Since then the up
set has been fully substantiated by
similar experiment by scientists
at the United States Bureau of
Standards.

This color is not only used as
finish for the body Dut is also re-
vealed in stripping and trimming. 1t
appears in all hues from very light
to dark.
Beiges and grays are also repre-
sented in a substantial number of
cars, although in most cases, they
are mixed with other colors.
Dark reds. tending toward ma
room, have also made progress but
are not represented so Importantly
as the brighter colors. Orange and
maroon as finishes are scarcely
seen at all. but quite a few yellow
cars are on view.
Purple as a finish is shown on
about six cars. Half Of this number
are exhibited by American manufac.
turers and the others by small
French concerns.
A substantial number Of cars are
on view in this show, as in others,
finished in black and dark blue,
these being standard shades for
town cars.
Fabric Body Gone
The Weymann fabric body, which
was such a distinguishing feature of
shows during previous years, has
practically disappeared, not more
than a dozen cars in the whole salon
showing that style of finish, and
these being on display chiefly by
British concerns. Lacquers, devel.
oped in America, are used on prac-
tically all cars at the salon, 81 per
cent being in duco.
