MONEY MARKET

NEW YORK. Nov. rs I.N.s.).-The
British pound sterling today rebounded
to s322H up 1% cents from its low
While a part of the rise was due
to some short covering, the major
factor was the Stimson note to Eng
land. the optimistic statements of
Neville Chamberlain, British treasury
head, and Ramsay Macdonald, prime
minister.
Yesterday the pound after opening
at $S.22k, 2% cents under Wednesdays
close, dropped to 1920 1916, then ral-
lied to 1922 and then resumed its
decline, finishing the day at $S.2Oh,
off ~ cents on the day and at the
lowest level since 1920. At that time
the pound sold down to $3.1S.
The rise in the pound was ac-
companied by pronounced strength in
the dollar against the continental gold
standard exchanges. Francs eased
fractionally, as did belgas, lire, marks,
Swiss francs and guilders. Scandi-
navian exchanges rallied with the
round.
Canadian dollars not only failed to
respond to the sterling rally but sold
down y of a cent to S5 cents.
The Japanese yen recovered further
to Fl 15-10O cents, up 1S-1O0 of a
cent

TRADE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 26 nN.S.!.
The stock market today found re-
lief from the selling pressure re-
sulting from the war debts situa-
ton, which drove the list down
sharply in the last two days.
A rally in sterling and a sub
stantial gain in car loadings for
last week were helpful factors.
Wheat and cotton contributed
better action after their recent
weakness.
Leaders Open Strong
This brought about a strong
opening which saw leading issues
up as much as 2 points in the
early dealings. The gains were
not maintained as nimble graders
took profits on the bulge and the
markets lapsed into apathy at lev
els slightly above the previous
close.
Even the rails failed to carry
through on publication of the
traffic figures for the week ended
last Saturday, showing gain OF
S8,785 cars, far more than sea-
sonal, and slipped back near last
nights close.
FURRY in Liquor
News from Washington that &C
ton of resolution repeating the
Eighteenth Amendment would be
the first business of the coming
session of Congress brought a
furry in the so-called liquor
stocks.
Crown Cork & Seal and U. S.
Alcohol were outstanding, the
former rising more than 2 points.
Owens Illinois Glass was better
also.
Steel Common Heavy
American Telephone, Westing-
house and Allied Chemical gave
the best performance in the
leaders. U. S. Steel common was
heavy, due largely to the weak
tone in the preferred.
The market came under the in
fluence of evening up for the
weekend in the last hour and this
brought an irregular appearance
to the list.
Auto stocks were supported by
O firm tone in General Motors
but Auburn showed independent
declining tendencies.

copy in silk, felt, cloth or pique. Aside
from the material you will need ring

a single thickness. If thinner material
is used, cut two thicknesses, using one
for a lining
The belt should be from an inch and

A Sermon for Today
Young Nan and Visions.
II nEv. JOHN 4. GUM.

There = not much prospect for the
young man who never sees any visions.
Seeing visions is one of the conditions
Of successful and useful Life. Visions
kindle desire, inspire ambition and beget
courage. A young mans day Of visions
and dreams y . high day in his life.
It Is tho poem ct the, beginning Of the
chapter. the morning song that precedes
the day Of toll.
Visions and dreams help US all to live
better and do better work. They lend
inspiration for the hard, practical
parts Of life. A man who can sit down
In his own home and listen to song and
music and the prattle of chilren is
stronger for the hard, prosaic duty of
the coming day. The hour soldiers
spend around campfire, exchanging
stories Of home and picturing bright
visions Of the future when they shall
be reunited with their loved ones, is
not time lost. They will fight better
tomorrow for the visions Of tonight.
All noble work is preceded by vision
Even In practical affairs the men who
do the best work are men who see
visions and dream dreams. The man
glimpse Of the road stretching out
before him will travel it more safely
and successfully. The dreamer may
see flowers that will elude his grasp
pleasant paths that will disappear as he
draws near. refreshing groves that will
vanish as he approaches, but for all
that 1t Is q. good thing that he dreams
A mans vision of the future Is likely to
be right in its general direction and
broad aspects, even If its details prove
to be disappointing.
But am thinking especially Of the
young man and his visions. The
young man is naturally dreamer. The
old man looks back to the past, and
lives on memories of bygone days. The
young man looks forward to the future,
and sees the promised land of tomorrow
And his dreams are an index to what
he can be and do. As the morning
shows the day. so a young mans vision
shows his possible future. OF course his
dreams will not come true unless he
makes them come true. But, assuming
other things to be equal. believe any
young man can do what he dreams of
doing provided he is young man
of sense and judgment and applies
himself with courage and determination.
Therefore, I say to young men every
where: Do not be afraid of your dreams;
be courageous and follow your visions;
you may be disappointed as to some
details, but you will find yourself mov-
ing in the right direction.

Everyday Psychology
By DIR. JESSE W. sPROWLs.
Indecision.

Indecision qualities as q character
trait in the case of a great many
persons. With some persons this char
acter becomes so prominent that all
other traits are submerged. The per-
son who refuses to make decision for
fear of making wrong one, refuses TO
be taught. Any sort of guidance tends
to lead TO some decision about some
thing Clarification is the last thing
such persons want to hear anything
about.
1t is argued by some psychologists that
those who operate on the formula of
indecision suffer from a feeling of in
feriority. This feeling of inferiority
keeps them in state Of apprehension
about the possibilities of making a mis-
take which might in some way reduce
their already small opinion of them
selves He wants no light thrown
on himself.
Now and then it happens that the
indecision person gets into state Of
hopelessness Then he takes the first
step out of his difficulties. He decides
that nothing can affect him. He makes
a decision; perhaps a lucky one. Real
izing he has made decision, he takes
a new interest in himself, wants to
know more about his abilities. wants TO
experiment with them. Then he is
willing to be taught, willing to regard
himself as somebody.
