BY ROBERT DENVER.

NEW YORK, December 30 (R.-
~ Gold and silver shares proved the
center of attraction in the last
session OF the year. Both groups were
IN rather brisk demand at intervals,
with the gold stocks enjoying a slight
edge. Strength here was attributed the
overnight news from Washington of
the gathering of strong silver bloc"
InlS development means that the in
coming session of Congress will be
found discussing the monetary problem
actively and in manner which
spectators evidently assume will keep
the mining shares in the limelight
Homestake and Dome mines were the
leaders among the geld shares, with
United States Smelling and American
Smelling featured in the silver group.
In foreign exchange circles there was
much discussion Of the possibility of
an important announcement involving
the dollar over the year end. Rumors
of impending news apparently were
stronger IN foreign centerS than in local
exchange circles judging by the origina-
ton OF the days business, which made
for weakness in the dollar Dealers here
were reported relatively inactive. while
selling Of dollars abroad tefore our
opening was put forth as the cause for
pronounced strength in sterling and
French francs.
The first week Of the new wear will
bring more than its normal proportion
of corporation dividend meetings. In
addition to board meetings of corpora
tionS which ordinarily act in that
period the list will include gatherings
of boards of corporations where action
due earlier, was postponed by inability
to get a quorum together While not
stated in so many words. there is little
question but that some of the meetings
slated to have been held in the closing
weeks Of December were put over into
the new year for the purpose of letting
the 5 per cent emergency tax on cor
poration dividends expire.
Bulls put on something of "last
roundup through the closing half Of
the years final short session. The man
ner in which many of the leading
stocks worked ahead in that period was
suggestive of degree OF the usual
"Window-d dressing" which is done as
rule at the year end by large institution
holders with view to bolstering their
portfolio values for balance sheet pur-
poses But at the same time there was
an apparent urgent retreat on the part
of shorts from their positions in some
Of the active stocks like ChrySler. Du
Pont and Borg Warner among others.
Those stocks reached new high ground

The amount which Roosevelt
proposes to hand over to the rail-
roads by cancelllng the $360,00o, 900
debt which the roads owe the gov
eminent under the provisions OF
the Transportation Act of 1920, is
about equal to the amount which
Roosevelt has just slasned from
the compensation Of the wounded
and disabled veterans.
The railroads have already been
given more than 100000, 900
through the RIG. of which only
10 per cent has been repaid, and
most of which, it is openly admit
ted, will never be repaid. The
money which the RF.C hands out
will have to be made through
taxes. Nov Roosevelt plans to give
the roads another gift at the ex-
pense of the peoples money.
Roosevelt is proud that he hac
balanced the budget. But he has
balanced. the budget by taking
money directly from the pockets
of the veterans and Federal en-
ployees, and the same time that
he hands out hundreds of millions
of the peoples money to the mil
lionaire Wall Street owners OF the
railroads.
