STRIKES FRET
SPANISH
kH RHH
CITIES
WaIkouts Affect 8 Provinces;
Premier Says Revolt Killed;
King and Queen Guarded

MADRID, Dec. 17.-Although
the entire Spanish army held the
country in a state Of siege and
the government steadily asserted
that the situation was under con-
troll, strikes paralyzing various
large cities and reports of local up
risings indicated today that 3
dangerous state Of affairs still
existed in Spain. ...
The capital continued normal
to-day, except for the innumerable
troops and civil guards apparent
everywhere. Police permission Is
necessary to leave the city and
martial law remained in force
throughout the nation. Telephone
and telegraph communications
were restored for the first time
Since the revolt.
Strikes Are Continued
General strikes in eight prov
&ces and partial strikes in four
others have rendered the problem
of keeping order in those locantles
extremely difficult, but few dis
orders have been reported.
From his sickbed, where he has
been confined with a bad cold,
Premier Berenguer again issued
a communique declaring that the
attempted insurrection had been
completely suppressed.
King Alfonso and Queen Vic
toria have suspended all audi.
ences, remaining in the royal
palace under close guard. Several
times passing troops sent up a
shout:
"Vivi Ell rey!" "LOng live
the king!"
Condition Summarized
A number of civilians were
court-martialled at Seville and
found guilty of melting a rebel
Lion.
Trouble was reported from
Bilbao, with the military in con-
troll.
At Saragossa the general strike
terminated, but one striker was
killed in a battle with police.
Barcelona was believed normal,
although Republican planes scared
over the city and dropped thou
sands of Subversive leaflets.
Border patrols were augmented
by several detachments OF troops,
and additional Spanish legion
naires were landed in the south
from Morocco.

volume rose above the low levels of the
earlier days and when prices behaved
in way calculated to encourage trad
ing, which means more commissions for
the brokers.
Price gains have not, however. been
so general nor so well held as to indicate
more than trading market. Those
who predicted a rise in the favorites
during the last week were finally proved
right in fairly conclusive manner.
Some of these same observers who fore
saw last weeks advance are strong in
their opinion that the general direction
of these favorites will be upward dur
ing most or all of the rest of this month.
The tape offers support to this Opin-
ion in that activity last week dried up
on recessions. 1t also looks as II the
bottoms had been fairly well tested.
There is no apparent sign that prices
are about to break through the lows of
the secondary reaction.
On the other. hand, reports on retail
trade, car loadings and bank clearings
do not indicate that a turn has been
made In general business activity such
as warrants confidence that a sus-
tanned bull movement in stocks will

OF the several groups, measuring
prices by last weeks close compared

cessories made the best showing with
