Stock Prices Improve
Fractions 10 More
Than $1aSI
Gains Well Maintained
In Most Sections at
Sessions Close
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press Financial Writer
NEW YORK, Nov. 2o.-Stocks
generally turned on modest recovery
power today and, with low-priced
issues expanding market activity,
gains of fractions to 4 point or 50
were well distributed.
Whether it was further brighten
ing Of the war news, with prospects
of shorter conflict: a big batch OF
satisfactory dividends and earnings
statements, or just a technical re-
bound from possibly oversold con-
dition, was matter of argument in
boardrooms.
Tax selling persisted as a mod
crate handicap, but this was well
absorbed in most cases. Advisory
services still were a bit bearish for
the near-term although the majority
forecast a long-pull bull market If
and when mounting public income
begins to find an outlet in securities.
The list tilted upward at the start
Dealings broadened after a slow in
terval. Profit taking eventually
trimmed best prices here and there,
but plus marks were we'll main
tanned in most sections in the final
hour. 1t was the first day this week
the Associated Press average of so
stocks was able to finish with an
advance. Transfers were around
600 DOC shares.
Among stocks registering new
highs for the year were Gillette,
Dome Mines, Peps'-Cola and Hecker
Products. In front most of the time
were American Telephone, Santa Fe,
New York Central, Great Northern,
Western Union, United States
Steel, Bethlehem, General Motors,
Chrysler, International Telephone,
Homestake Mining, Du Pont, Sears
Roebuck, Montgomery Ward, Stand
ard Oils of Indiana and California
and International Harvester.
Bolstering optimism was the quick
disposal of another special" offer
ing. This was block of 10000
Allis-C Chalmers at asa.

Rail Equipment Program
REGARDED as Inadequate
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The War Production Board per-
mitted the railroads yesterday to
order $50 steam and So Diesel road
locomotives for delivery in the first
eight months of next year, and 100
switching Diesels for delivery in the
first six months.
c. H. Buford, vice president Of
the Association of American Rail-
roads in charge of maintenance and
operations, said the locomotive allot-
ment was insufficient to meet the
railroads requirements and ex-
pressed hope that the WPB would
review it about the first of the year.
Buford estimated the railroads
needed 900 locomotives between Oc-
tober. 1912. and October, 1913, but
that the WPB program would pro-
vide only about one-half this num-
Der.
Buford described as "all right,
other phases of the WPB program.
In addition to locomotives, 1t in
Guided 10000 freight cars for de-
livery in the first six months OF 1913,
and steel for maintenance Of equip
ment and lines for the first quarter
as follows:
Repairs and equipment, $4,000
tons; rails, 100000 tons; track Access
series, 288, 900 tons.
The program was outlined to
railroad executives at this time to
enable them to place promptly the
major portion of their orders for
rail and equipment to insure deliv-
cry on schedule.
No passenger cars were authorized.

Continued Drive
On Big Estates
By II. S. Seen
~ the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Nov. 2O.-J. Stanley
Halperin, tax consultant and presi-
dent of the Federal Tax Forum, told
the 14th Midyear Trust and Banking
Conference of the New Jersey Bank
ers' Association today that the ls42
Revenue Act continued a 1o-year
governmental trend to discourage
accumulation OF large estates.
1T is quite possible that in the not
too distant future" Halperin said,
I'VE may see attempts to limit the
amount Of wealth which an individ-
ual may transfer by gift or bequest.
with the present salary limita-
ton order, and the possible legisla-
ton to limit all incomes to a net of
$4,000, regardless of the source from
which 1t is derived, certainly no for.
tunes can be amassed during this
war.
Instead the high rates of taxa
ton are tending to reduce those for
tunes which have already been &C
quired and a steady decrease in
estate and gift tax exemptions now
increases the cost Of transferring
large estates"
