ADVANCE ON CURB
MARKET RESUMES
Early Profit Taking Absorbed
and List Continues Up
ward Move.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 5.-Resuming
yesterdays advance, curb stocks opened
higher today, overcame early profit
taking and continued their upward
course. Trading companies, utilities
and oils were leaders on the upside,
with mines, motors and amusements
heading the other side of the market.
Responding to the announcement Of
plan for restoring asset value, Blue
Ridge and Shenandoah moved sharply
higher in early trading, but Goldman
Sachs and Central States Electric, both
of which are associated closely with the
former two trading companies, inclined
to heavine5o.
Electric Bond & Share, in point of
activity, led the utilities. Movements of
this stock, however, were oVerShadoWed
in point Of fluctuations by American
Foreign Power warrants and Standard
Power &c Light. The last named at one
time was up almost 10 points,
Although Cities Service piled up the
largest volume of dealings in oils, it was
dwarfed by the moves made by its sub
Sidiary, Indian Territory Illuminating
Oil, and some of the Standards like
Vacuum, Humble and Ohio Oil. Pipe
lines resisted profit taking. Natural gas
shares, however, were not able, at times,
to overcome waves of selling
Pennroad Corporation provided the
outstanding feature of the opening as
10000 shares came out at ID or un-
changed. This stock has been ham,
mered by professionals following pre-
mature circulation given to the annual
report of the Interstate Commerce
Commission. The report cites the
activities of Pennroad g. Allegheny
Corporation as possible instruments
that may be used to upset railroad con-
soli6ation plans.
Other rails, such as Pittsburgh g.
Lake Erie, Chesapeake & Ohio new and
Pennsylvania rights, were comparative
ly strong. Some of the higher priced
induStrialS like Deere & Co., Tubize and
Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea enjoyed
intervals of strength.
Baking stocks attracted attention by
their early upswings. Pool operations
accounted for the gradual climb of sew
eral of the most active radios.
The present levels of curb stocks are
the approximate points reached by the
market on its first wide break of the
year last March 81. Averages Of lead
ing issues indicate net recovery near
ing SO per cent from the lows touched
about November 10 last. This marked
upswing, which represents short cover
ings and professional operations as well
as public buying, naturally has created
considerable bulliSh talk.

CHICAGO, December S R.-Sharp
setbacks in Liverpool quotations. to-

Argentine wheat exportable surplus,
gave wheat prices here an early down.
ward trend today. Largely increased
buying, however, developed on the
breaks in values. Opening 1-2c to

showed considerable power to rally.
Corn, oats and provisions were also
easier, with corn starting l4a3sc to &c
down, and subsequently holding near
the initial range.
Assertions from a British trade au-
thority implying that the Argentine new
crop exportable surplus of wheat would
be about 100000 bushels in excess OF
the average of recent unofficial esti-
mates did much today to handicap
friends of higher prices. The British
forecast put the Argentine surplus at
149, OOo, 900 bushels on the other hand,
fresh dispatches today from Buenos
Aires said the Argentine surplus APP
peared to be between 73,500,000 bushels
and Tic, 100000 bushels.

GREEN ADVISES
AGAINST GAMBLING
Tells Radio Audience safety
and Sudden Wealth Do Not
Go Together"

Strongly advising against speculation
or gambling, William Green, president
of the American Federation of Labor,
in radio address last night over the
National Broadcasting Co.'S chain, in
formed his audience that there has
been a marked increase in the number
of persons who have purchased Sc
curities.
Before you make an investment
satisfy yourself that you are dealing
with a strictly reliable firm, one that
has established itself in business and
one that has a high-class record for
honesty and for the sale of high-grade
investments" Mr.. Green urged
Il would advise against speculation
or gambling Think first of the safety
of your investment. Be convinced and
certain that you are really investing.
In choosing a really safe investment
take into account its earnings and its
safety. Safety and sudden wealth do
not go together"
The labor leader said that the figures
for securities indicate that not only
have the workers created great wealth
through labor and service but in addi-
ton they have supplied industry with
a part of their earnings, and in that
way the capital requirements of indus
try have been more adequately met"
Pointing out that most owners of in
duStry have come to understand that
the progress and prosperity of Ameri-
can business, to a very large extent,
depends upon the payment of high
wages to their employees and the enjoy
ment of increasing leisure by working
people," Mr.. Green asserted that the
great masses of the people must be able
to use and enjoy as we'll as buy the
things which industry produces"
A realization of 1.-The very vital re-
lationship of high wages and work Sc
curity to national prosperity and COM
munity well being" Mr.. Green said,
prompted President Hoover to summon
all factors to his now famous con-
ferences.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, December S tP.--Cot-
ton opened steady today at decline OF
2 to 6 points. Relatively steady Liver
pool cables seemed to be without any
effect at the start, and the market re-
sponded to further liquidation, while
little Southern selling was also reported.
The offerings were not heavy, how
ever, and the market, after showing net
losses of about to points, held fairly
steady at the end of the first half hour.
The decline brought in a little trade
buying as we'll as covering. A private
crop report was published, placing the
indicated yield at 1881 900 bales, and
the ginnings prior to December at
1880 900 bales.
Private cables reported that trade
calling had absorbed scattered Equida-
ton and hedging in Liverpool, but said
that cloth sales were below production
and that stocks were accumlating.

FIRST INsTALLMENT (COntinued.)

Did she hope that Lambert would
come back to her? What did she think
of, in the long, wakeful nights? Her
children never knew. She remained to
the end unfathomable. They had no
background for her, outside of the lit
tie house; Ellen did not remember her
own father, and when the time came
for them to wonder, Stella had car
ried the past with her where no ques-
tioning was Of any avail.
There was but one bit of illumina-
ton, and that was when she started out
one day, taking Missile with her. LAM
bert had not been at home for two
days, and although the fare on the
horse cars was only q nickel, they
walked into the business part of the
town.
Stella had made an unusually careful
toilet. It was Winter, and she wore a
long black velvet cloak Over her shoul-
derS was one of the very short tight
capes Of the period, and her hands were
thrust into tiny muff. Her small bon
net sat high on top of her hair, and
from beneath 1t came a heavy bang
twisted into a row of small fiat curls.
Even Missile noticed that men on the
But Stella was not looking for ad-
miration, not that day, at least. Missile
was breathless when at last they
reached an alley and turned into it.
There was a door there and man on
guard, but he let them in.
Hardly knew you at first," he said
Miss Beaumont's expecting you"
Have 1 changed like that?" said
Stella, suddenly arch.
'"Handsomer than ever, I'd say" said
the doorman, and there was a bit of
color in Stellas face as they went in.
1t was a queer place in which Missile
suddenly found herself-the wings Of a
theater during burlesque show of the
S0s: gas-lighted, untidy place, filled
with men and women.
When Miss Beaumont appeared. 1t
was to show decided shock at StellaS
why stelI, you poor thing!" she
said. Whatever have you done to your
self? You haven't been sick, have you?'
No" said Stella, duly.

sophically, IT suppose you can't have

Stella turned to Missile. you get be-
hind the screen" she said.
So 1t was from behind the screen that
Missile overheard the rest of that con-
versation. Not all of 1t registered.
But what about BERTHE? What does
he say?"
IT don't know, and I don't care"
Don't tell me he's left you?"
Just about, There's somebody else"

manded. You get old and lose your

She checked herself and called to
Missile.

room. an authoritative sort of a man,

said out Of a clear sky:

WHY" said Ellen, scraping at q fry
ing pan.
Men and boys, too"
You'll get over that. Some Of them
are all right"
Lambert did not come home that
night, and when Missile went into her
mothers room to say good night she
found her before her mirror, surveying
herself from under swollen eyelids.
Missile lay in bed that night sleepless.
Men were cruel, hard and cruel.
You worked for them, you put in
their studs and cufflinks, and saved the
cream for them. and you watched when
the steak was cut to see if it pleased
them or not. And then they turned

| But. notwithstanding the increasing
| Irregularities of the household, Missile
was a cheerful child. With the philos-
ophy which children learn so much
| more readily than adults. she took life
as it came. When there was peace and
comparative plenty she sang in a thin
little pipe. and when matters were very
home for DAYS and Stella went around
| like woman in a trance, she was
quiet, watchful and wary.
What do you want for supper,
mom?"
'T don't care. You might open a
can of tomatoes"
Ellens air of detachment was in
creasing. 1t was when she was settled
at the dining table with her school work
that Stella would open her door and
call
"Missie! Come on UP. I want to
see you about something"
And Missile would 60 heavily. She
feared those hours when Stella, unable
to keep her troubles to herself, poured
out to her her jealousies and her sus-
picions.
Lambert came back, Of course. There
would be a quarrel and then, instead
of the old reconciliation, a truce of
sorts. Stella would dress carefully, but
she was moody and taciturn, and Lam
bert would be sulky and silent also.
| After supper he would put on his hat

TO Stella:
