Many Chemicals
Higher for Week

Prices for heavy and fine
chemicals reached higher levels,
on the whole, in the past week,
according to the Oil, Paint and
Drug Reporter in its current
issue.
The more important advances
were in the fine chemical group.
With the exception of materials
for the textile industry, particu-
larly the silk division, the move
ment of industrial chemicals was
slow. Demand from the leather
industry was much restricted.
Curtailed production of coaltar
basic materials was offset by
light demnd.
The greatest influence was that
of the advancing price of silver.
Tin salts also reflected the high
err prices of that metal. Crude
iodine was higher. Only the or
ganic nitrogenates were active in
the fertilizer group, and the
movement was in both directions.
Minor paint materials were
higher,

TRADERS START
IN NEW WEEK
HOPEFULLY
BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

By WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, Nov. 6 GN.S).
Wall Street enters the new week
in a decidedly hopeful mood.
The market snapped out of it
in the last few days and Satur.
days irregularity didn't bring
anything disturbing other than
showing a further trend away
from the initiation stocks.
This week will bring some out
standing news with repeal to be
voted out and the beginning Of
the negotiations for the recogni.
ton of Russia.
An uptrend in the market to
the year-end holidays would be-
something to celebrate. And
there are quite few who can
see the possibility.
The question of who's buying
New York Central" is again being
heard persistently downtown.
And it's somewhat reminiscent Of
the talk last summer, which was
followed by the D. & H. announce
ment early this week. Brokers
who have tried to trace the buy.
ing are confused. Some say it
is speculative, while others insist
it is for big money.
Reports are current of a big
short interest in Auburn.
Some of the weakness in the
gold stocks may reflect the re.
vival Of silver agitation.
A new group with plenty 81
money is understood to have beef
formed recently and is insistin.
that commodity prices can be pu
up more easily by boosting silve
to go cents an ounce and cheap
ening gold. Copper interests pre-
dict copper will bounce up to l:
or IL cents a pound if the sag
of 100000 tons to Russia, whicA
has been under negotiation, q
put through.

MARKET DRIFTS
d SLUGG|SHLY
LOWER
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 dN.S0.
Stocks dr1fted lower in a listless
and typical pre-holiday market to-
day. Trading was at a snairs
pace throughout the session and
speculative interest was at a low
ebb.
The commodity markets took
their cue from stocks.
Carriers Lack Support
Carrier shares including New
York Central, Atchison, Southern
Railway and several other Of the
higher priced trading favorites
lost from fractions to point. The
decline was due more to a lack
Of interest rather than to any
aggressive selling movement.
United States Steel, Bethlehem
and several others were slightly
easier along with the rest Of the
list losing fractionally. The
motor shares, Chrysler and Gen
eral Motors declined slightly.
Utility shares including Con-
Solidated Gas, United Corporation,
Columbia Gas and American
Water Works slipped slightly.
The usually active trading
favorites such as Celanese, Allied
Chemical, Western Union, and
Case were quiet today with losses
running to more than a point in
some instances.
Montgomery Ward Slow
The dizziness of the market was
Illustrated by the failure Of Mont
gomery Ward. ordinarily one Of
the most active issues, to ope1
for more than an hour. Prior %
that the bid on the floor was I61a
and the offer 10. The sale when
finally consummated was for 800
shares at 1874, off "a.
The gold mining shares were
dull for the most part and gen.
orally ignored the higher prices
for gold both here and aboard.
Liquor shares were quiet and in
no way showed any stimulus from
the fact that tomorrow's election
was generally expected to signal
the end Of prohibition.
