In the Stock Market
fBY Thomson 3 McKinnonl

NEW YORK, Dec. l7.-Unem-
ployment statistics, usually regard
ed as of prime Importance in meas
uring the purchasing power of the
nation, recalls the old adage that
figures do some times tell untruths.
This is particularly noticeable in
the report covering the month of
November. Although the statement
shows falling off of per cent,
this figure is arrived at only after
taking into consideration a drop of
almost Is per cent in the auto
motive industry. In as much as the
automobile industry normally tapers
off during the last two months of
the year, which slowing down was
accentuated by the plans to bring
out new models, by the largest man
ufacturer in the low priced field, it
appears to be quite obvious that the
unemployment report tends to ex-
aggerate the whole labor situation.
1t is we'll to keep in mind, too, that
unemployment in the automotive
industry has been on the increase
since the first of the month, which
naturally leads to the assumption
that November may prove to have
been the lowest point in the volume
of unemployment. Security values
would not be at present levels, with
extremely liberal yields and an ex-
cellent ratio of earnings to price If
unemployment had not been on the
increase, which prompts us to again
suggest that the recession in bust
ness has been fairly well discounted.
We continue to advise the purchase
OF the better class of securities dur
ing such reactions as have recently
occurred.

CHICAGO, Dec. 17.-Wheat prices
opened unevenly lower to higher on
the Board of Trade here today
Scattered selling in the form Of
prof1t-taking produced to the uncer-
tain tone. Australian threshing re-
turns are below expectations and
rains in the Argentine are delaying
the harvest of wheat and may pos
sibly add to the damage. On the
strength of this Buenos Aires
jumped to "a cents higher just be-
fore noon. Corn and oats we're I'M
certain, owing to the action in
wheat.
At the opening wheat was X cent
lower to q cent higher, corn was Il
cent lower to 4 cent higher, and
oats was x to 4 cent of. Pro-
visions opened steady.
Liverpool failed to respond fully
to the advance here and just before
noon stood only 4 to g cent higher
Buenos Aires opened Il cent higher.
The foreign outlook on the whole is
slightly more favorable, exports in
creasing slightly and a better in
quiry present.
Unfavorable weather pervades the
corn belt, with rain, snow and sleet
reported. The dampness Is said to
be affecting the corn not yet husked.
Continued bad weather is forecast,
with rain and snow in sight.
The strength in the major gains
was supplemented with some local
buying Monday and these combined
to Offset the liquidation which
seems to be coming from the north
western holders.

BOA CONSTRUCTOR DIES
AND RETURNS TO LIFE
Frozen" Snake Starts Riot When
Taxidermist Begins Work.
By Science SerUice

By Science Service
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo,
Dec. 17.-Recently heavy snow
storm swept over the Rocky noun
tains, and a seven-foot boaconstric-
tor in his steam-heated cage froze
to death. Spencer Penrose, owner
of the ZOO at the foot of Cheyenne
mountain, near here, visited the boa
in the afternoon and found him
stretched out upon the huge limb
of a tree which is his favorite haunt
in captivity.
The next morning, a blizzard hay"
ing interviewed, the keeper found the
boa frozen solid, and Penrose sent
him to the taxidermist to be stuffed.
The taxidermist and his assist
ants rolled him out on the floor,
seemingly a solid ice mass, while
they sharpened their knives. AS the
taxidermist placed the point OF his
blade in the boa's head the snake
opened his eyes. The man jumped.
A culver ran down the boa's coils,
his tail swished furiously from side
TO side. The attendants vanished,
and the boa has another life to lose.
