New York Stocks
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
rT,,;fod prace Financial Writ


NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-The stock
market etched a curious price pat
tern today in one of the dullest
trading sessions of recent weeks.
Early firmness gave way to COM
paratively sharp losses in the af-
ternoon-after wheat had cracked
on reports, later denied, that specu-
lative trading was to be banned
then started climbing back towards
the close. In late dealings losses
were erased and gains Cf fractions
to points were substituted.
Leaders in firmness today were
metal and repeal stocks.
The dollar continued easier in
foreign exchange trading while the
government gold price was advanc-
ed to 1925 rejecting further
recession in the gold value of the
dollar. Cotton trading was steady
and rallied to around previous clos
ing levels after a decline of SO
cents a oale. Wheat finished with
loss of around cents bushel,
up from earlier lows Of more than
cents a bushel.
/ Cerro de PaSco was one OF the
active issues in that final drive,
jumping from around 1874 to al
most SO. U. S. Smelling climbed to
around 100 for more than 6 points
gain. American Smelling and 9TH
ers in the metals group, particu-
larly those related to silver, came
! forward.
Stock sales today were 1,l400OC
shares as against 100000 shares
yesterday. Curb sales were 173,00c
shares as against 1900 shares yes
terday.
Dow Jones preliminary averages
showed, industrial 1850, up LA
railroad 36.16 up 0.22, utilities 22.91
off OFT.
National Dishillers, after drop
ping to 3524, climbed back to 80 fol
21a points gain. U. S. Industrial Al
cohol showed more than 3 points
gain at 65.
Strength in the silver benefitting
stocks and repeal issues brought
better tone into the general list.

general upturn in business will be
maintained and broadened during
the coming months,o Wacksmuth
declared.
"Officials at our Akron head
quarters were particularly enthu-
siastic about the sales figures on
Goodrich first line tires for the
three months ending last Septem-
ber 80, as compared to the same
period in 1882. Sales of first llne
tires for July, August and Septem-
ber this year were approximately
800 per cent greater than for those
same months last year.
"This great increase in sales is
attributed to general business gains
and to the introduction by Good
rich, early this year of its new
tire, the Golden Ply Safety Silver
town. Public acceptances of this
new tire has been amazing in ev-
cry section of the country.
"Another new Goodrich product
the Electro-Pak, an automobile
storage battery of Strikingly dis
tinctive and unique design, has
just been announced. Made in
sizes fer all popular makes OF cars
the battery unit is completely en-
cased in a hard rubber protective
cover of modernistic design. This
is the first time this type of con-
struction has been used on an
American made battery.

The second condition occurs when
