Each Of the Treasury's two Sc

Subscriptions totaled $4,128,OOO,.

The tremendous demand for
the securities, repeatedly shown
each time the Treasury has Of
fored short or long time bonds
for sale in past months, was
taken here as eloquent evidence
Of the great amount Of idle cap
1tal in the country, waiting for
a safe investment medium.
Congressional proponents Of the
$4,000, 100000 public works con-
Struction program, to relieve un-
employment, found vigorous en-
couragement in the returns. They
declared it evidence that such
a bond issued could be floated.

COTTON MAKES
SLIGHT NEW
ADVANCE

NEW YORK, Dec. IL QN.S).
A fairly active trade demand,
combined with, q scarcity Of offer
ines. brought q small rally in the
cotton ring today.
At the opening, the list showed
gains of about so cents q bale,
with the steady tone at Liverpool
q contributing factor in the ad-
vance.
Shortly after the first call,
however, a small amount Of profit
taking seeped into the ring, and
initial gains were slightly pared.
The reaction was met by renewed
trade buying and the list once
more developed firm tone.
Japanese interests today bought
in a small way and Liverpool
made some purchases. Hedge
sales were light and most Of the
contracts were supplied by New
Orleans, local and professional
traders.
Noon prices were up 2 to Z
points, with January UP z at 5.S3,
March UP 3 at $50, May up 2
at 800 and october UP 4 at $3.50.

DIVIDEND INDEX
OFF SLIGHTLY

The weighted average dividend
rate per share for 900 common
stocks was $1.22 cn November 80,
as compared with $1.24 both in
September and october, accord
ing to the monthly compilation
prepared by Moody's Investors
Service.
Changes in dividend rates were
greater in their aggregate effect
than in the two preceding
months, although still moderate
in comparison with the average
monthly changes during the first
half Of the year.
In a separate compilation
Moody's points out that during
November there was only q slight
change in the average yield on
all active cash dividend paying
stocks on the New York Stock

8.92 per cent on December 1, as
compared with S.85 per cent on
october 81.

NEW PRICE GUT
HITS COPPER

NEW YORK, Dec. 12 TN.S0.
Copper prices weakened further
abroad today, slipping to 4.90
cents a pound from 4.925 cents
on Saturday, while copper fu-
lures were down sharply in the
London metal market.
Domestic prices, however, held
at 5 cents a pound, the record
low. With the United States
market protected by the tariff
of 4 cents a pound enacted last
summer, there was less pressure
to sell by American producers.
Disappointment over the fail
ure of the curtailment confer
ence continued keen today in
financial and metal circles. Ar
thur D Storke, managing direc-
tor Of Roam Antelope, defended
his company's demands over
which the conference broke down.

STOCK MARKET
HOLDS GAINS
WALL sTREET sPECTATOR

WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Dec. IL GN.SO.
The market starts the new week
with the averages at q critical
point on the upside.
Profit taking proved too much
for Saturdays market, but even
then, prices showed a decided
reluctance to move down. The
past weeks upturn in stocks,
which vas brought about at the
resistance level established early
in October, was particularly inn
pressive because it took place in
the face Of rather unsettling
news.
During the week the foreign
debt tangle was at its height
and the prohibition repeal reSo-
luton had been defeated. In
addition, the copper curtailment
conference broke up and com.
modify prices displayed weak
ened tendencies.
With the list acting as it did
in the face Of all these factors,
the logical conclusion is that
stocks will not go down unless
some new element of uncer.
tainty is thrown into the situa.
ton.
One Of the most favorable
factors right now Is the action
of the bond market. The sec.
ond grade rails which nobody
would touch have begun to show
o measure Of. stability.
Sterilization of the connmodt-
ties would do a lot to help the
market at this stage. Wheat
has yet to demonstrate any con-
vincing strength but the winter
wheat crop may be the deciding
factor.
The wool market is being
tipped for rise. Wood prices
have been weak in recent weeks
and this is said to have led IT,

lconpanies

Actors Shiver
With Mike
Fright
BY STANLEY BIGELOW

With no footlights to guide
them, q lot Of leading denizens Of
the legitimate theater are getting
an inside view of radio these fine
nights. Thirty-two Of them, so
far, have spoken their lines into
the awesome little cylinder--five
Of them for the first time. The
occasion in every instance has
been q broadcast Of "Roses and
Drums" over the Columbia
Broadcasting System. They've
all had a grand time on the job,
and even those who experienced
the cold shivers of mike fright
have dome through like good
troupers and put on q first-rate
performance.
Louise Groody, who has faced
hundreds Of visible audiences
without q tremor, was decidedly
nervous when she first faced the
microphone. It was almost o
case Of out and out mike fright. I"
However, as she threw herself in
the role the nervousness wore
away and she ended up with a
finely polished performance.
His Booming Voice
De Wolf Hopper has learned
that while he is usually at the
very front Of the visible stage,
he must stand at least eight feet
behind the other actors during
q radio performance. His boom
ing voice carries over everything.
When he is performing q chalk
mark is made on the studio floor,
and he is warned to keep behind
that mark.
Cecilia Lotus demonstrated for
radio directors the fact she is
the same good trouper" at the
microphone that she has been
during her long years on the
stage. Stepping off q train Just
five minutes before rehearsal
time, she rushed to the studios,
turned down the suggestion that
the rehearsal be postponed until
she had lunch, and went through
her lines between bites Of a sand
wich.
Donald Meek insisted on thor
oughly memorizing his part so
that he might have both hands
free for dramatic gestures, with
out which he could not do his
best.
Portrayed Mark Twain
Ernest Truck, facing the mi.
crophone for the first time, said
his radio role was the "kick Of
his life" He played the part Of
Mark Twain, and inasmuch as
his entire boyhood had been
spent along the Mississippi
River, in the setting of the radio
drama, he felt perfectly at home.
Now he wants to do that same
part on the stage.
All Of the stage stars were
compelled to learn an entirely
new technique in acting for the
microphone, but they mastered
the technique in surprisingly
short order. Many Of them were
intensely interested in the me-
chanics Of radio, and stayed on
after their performance to find
out what makes the wheels go
round"
Otto Kreuger, Guy Bates Post,
Violet Heming, Joseph Santley
and the aforementioned Truck
are the five to make their first
acquaintance with the micro
phone in Roses And Drums" I"
Tom Powers, Glenn Hunter, Fay
Banter, June Walker, Ernest
Glendenning, Rollo Peters, Fritz
Lieber, William Faversham and
many Of the others had pre-
viously appeared as guest stars. I"
