NEI. YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, Nov. Is. OFF
nancial markets Tuesday displayed
a rather Spotty appearance as
strong and weak spots developed 10
the various speculative and invest
ment categories.
Stocks showed no definite trend.
Some specialties found iollowings
for substantial gains as hopes Tor
better earnings in certain lines we're
renewed. HeavineSs OF some Of the
utilities and other issues. however,
tended TO chill the enthusiasm for
a general advance the news was
neither especially buIlish nor Dear
ish.
Wheat dropped a cent Or so a
bushel. but most OF the other &C.
reals were narrow. Cotton was lit
tie better than yer Bonds were
quiet and moderately mixed. Ste--
ling moved substantially against the
dollar while the gold %currencieS sag
ged.
Shares Of Briggs Manufacturing
and Air Reduction got up around
a point each to new 1884 highs. At
the same time Consolidated Gas
lost 2 points at new years low.
Curtis Publishing preferred gained
3 and the common was up ]. U. )
Smelling. Cerro de PaSco and
American Smelling firmed frac-

United Aircraft and United Fruit.
A heavy tone was shown by Texas
Gulf Sulphur. which dropped ?
points. American Telephone. Pub

Most Of the rails eased. as did U.
S. Steel, Du Pont. American Can,
General Motors. Chrysler, Mont

The oils we're fairly steady.
The activity Of some of the metal
stocks apparently reflected the se-
cent strength of silver prices both
in London and Canada and the eX-
pectation that the administration
would continue its silver purchases
abroad on a much larger scale.
Foreign bar silver. imported Cor
domestic commercial use, was adj
vanced | 7-S cents an ounce to IS
3-4 cents, the highest level since
1929.
Wall Street was interested in the
governments decision 20 let down
the bars on the export OF capital,
but it was questionable whether the
various markets were affected 10
any noticeable extent by the rll-
ing. The treasury's action. 1t vas
thought in some quarters. may in
dicate that no further monetary
manipulation is contemplated at
this time.

coniured up Is the result OF de-
Scripllons OF phenomenal growth
induced in offspring OF white rats
treated with injections Of thy nus
gland extract.
DR.. Leonard q. Rowntree, direc-
tor Of the Philadelphia Institute for
medical research, said offspring Of
rodents treated with the substance
had. after several generations, teeth
at birth. fur shortly afterward and
could swim and climb whin two
weeks old. This indicated about a
six-fold speeding up OF growth.
Dr.. Rowntree declined TO predict
the re-ults should humans be treat
ed with the extract. developed by
Or. "A. M. Hanson, Of Aribault,
Minnesota.
The speculative among Johns
Hopkin- hospital physicians VINO
heard hts address, vsualized, If the
effects were analogous:
Children being weaned whom a
few weeks old; walking at six
months; being expert at games at
five years, and graduating IRON
high school at 10 years.
The thymus gland lies near the
breastbone. Only in recen. years
has progress been made toward
solving the mystery Of its function,
said DR.. Rowntree. whose expert
ments have lasted 20 months.
The speeding up OF growth and
percocity over generations OF rod
entS treated with the extract led to
a prediction the substance would
be beneficial in studying diseases
affecting certain races and locali-
ties for generations.
In spite OF the phenomenal growth
Of the young rats. their tissues we're
not injured and the animals became
normal adults. DR.. Rowntree said.
Most conditions producing over
growth usually slow down sexual
development. but in u work we have

MUSICAL SKETCH GIVEN
AT UNIVERSITY CLUB
Attractive Production Has Lines
by Helen Fetter Cook and
Songs Are Well Done.

A DELIGHTFUL entertainment was
given last evening at the Univer-
Sity Club when Music Gossip After
the OPERA" a musical sketch, was
presented. The lines, which we're
written by Helen Fetter Cook, who
has arranged an excellent vehicle for
an informal recital, are adaptable to
any period, and last evening the scene
was laid in the drawing room of
Sarah Morgan in New York in the
late 80s. Theodore Cook showed him
self a capable butter; Anne Yago NC
Guffey, contralto, was Miss Morgan,
the hostess, and her guests were Hazel
Priest as Nell Dulaney, "a talented
young soprano; c. Ridgeway Taylor
as Thomas Dudley, "Nell's cavalier
and gay young baritone" and Mary
Matthews Taylor as Lucy Van Horn,
cousin of the hostess and pianist
of note" The lines we're cleverly
woven to introduce each number and
included bits of history and anecdotes
of those days.
Mrs. McGuffey, with her rich con-
tralto voice of wide range, rather
carried of the honors of the evening,
particularly in her singing of "Ah!
Mon Fils" from Meyerbeer's lie
Prophetic I'm Called Little Butter
cup" from Sullivan's H. M. S. Pima
fore" was marked contrast, and she
did it equally well.
Mr.. Taylor, who is the possessor of
a beautiful voice, sang the difficult
"Whereer Ye Walk" one of the fa-
nous arias of Handel, with traditional
phrasing and the simplicity in style
distinctive to the art of oratorio. The
Vision Fugitive" from Massenet's
"Heriodiade" was beautifully sung as
well as the music of lighter vein.
Miss Priest, who has light high
soprano voice, sang several songs and
a duet, La CT Darem la Mano," from
Mozart's Don Giovanni" with Mr..
Taylor. She has charming manner
and personality.
Mrs. Taylor, who played the accom-
paniments for the singers, also played
two solos, Grieg's ITO Spring" being
unusually well done. She plays with
good tone and technic, which also
showed to advantage In her accom-.
paniments. K.B.

wai an ambitious list and calculated
to reveal the true extent of a pian-
Isl 5 talent.
AS far as the mechanical execution
Is concerned, Mr.. Conrad met all de-
mands and, in fact, showed that
brilliant compositions of this char
acter lie well for him.
: However, there is another angle to
these works which apparently Mr..
Conrad had never envisioned, so COM
pletely were they absent from his in
depreciation last evening. There was,
for instance, no difference in the gen.
eral approach to the Bach, Liszt or
Chopin numbers, the distinguishing
earmarks of each composer seeming
not to have impressed Mr.. Conrad.
He also ignored the opportunities for
color and poetry, confining himself
almost exclusively to an uninspired
pianissimo or laundering fortissimo.
: The volume of his playing and the
technical expertness of his bravura
passages made decided impression
on his audience, and he was recalled
for encores at the end of the pro-
gram, playing two of his own COM
positions, "Berceuse" and "Minuette. i"
