From the opening trends were slightly mixed but near the fourth hour advances of fractions to around a point were well distributed.

Dow Chemical, Santa Fe and Douglas Aircraft each edged up a point or so at the best and smaller gains were registered by Montgomery Ward, Woolworth, Warner Brothers, Bperry, American Smelting, J. Case, Western Union, U. S. Rubber, Southern Railway and Great Northern preferred. Steels and motors showed trifling changes.

WesUnghouse, Du Pont, American Telephone and Owens-Illinois were a bit soft. Bonds were steady and commodities dipped. Aluminum, Ltd. pushed up nearly two in curb, market dealings. Slightly higher were American Cyanamid Creole Petroleum and Gulf Oil.

Cities Service and Glen Alden Coal had narrow losses. THE DALTON There has been further weakness in the rails, because of threats both to rates and to labor costs. Taxes, present and prospective, are a continuing burden. The "post war plans of the radicals remind us that the "have nots" we always have with us. Nevertheless, the line holds, and actually a significant number of new highs" is made each day by good stocks.

Dividends have been rather good. The resumption of the rise in commodity market tells of the great force of inflation. It would emphasize the fact that the December 15 income tax pay ments will soon be out of the way, and that selling to record losses for tax purpose does not amount to much this year. Also, note that the $25,000 Income limit is proving a boomerang, and according to Washington reports is likely to be one of the growing number of defeats for the Roosevelt radicalism.

BY LEWIS HANEY (Professor of Economics, New York University) Although the stock market shows dullness and hesitation, I think that it also shows signs of improvement. The "pattern" of its action may easily be interpreted as indicating an approaching change for the better.

According to my most compre hensive charts, it may be said that a slow reaction began on November 13 and has been under way since that time. Now, however, it seems that this month-old reactionary phase is slowing up. The upward line has been dented; but the "con structive" forces have held, and a counter-attack may be expected to straighten out the line again. Certainly it is notable and especially so at this season that such activity as there is has not switched to the selling side. The composite average of 100 stocks has held above 96.

No downward momentum has been in evidence. As a result, there has been no sustained decline, and it should be noted that most active stocks actually indi cate a little tendency to rise. If you had traded in and out of the 20 most active stocks each day (without having to pay any brokerage) you would be a little better off than a year ago. It might be argued that if allowance were made for seasonal and other depressing factors, an "ad justed" market average would show a rise. The market has had to contend with a seasonal tendency to react on account of tax loss selling and to get funds for the heavy income tax payments due tomorrow.

Furthermore, there had been a long rise prior to November, and a re action that would give up at least half that rise would be normal. But the reaction since mid-November has been much less than that. Thus one may say that the stock market has done better than nor mal expectancy. I would renew and emphasize last weeks observation that certain leading stocks have held at definite lower resistance levels, in a way that suggests bottom for them, and therefore the market. Thus the way U.

S. Steel had held at 46 and General Motors at about 40 is signifi cant. Atchinson and American Can even suggest rising lower resistance. Several stocks show a long uptrend, judged by the "lows" made on reactions since last September. Du- Pont, Can, and General Motors are Illustrations.

There are reasons for some cau- GANG'S HIDEOUT good trick if they could have done it but somewhere along the line it backfired and when the smoke of battle cleared away the Dalton gang was no more. The horseflesh that was burned up trying to capture this outfit was no small item. Their ability to get away from what seemed certain capture was the talk of their day. Like all outlaw gangs they had their hideouts in the hills that were almost inaccessible. But it was not these places that the forces of law and order tried to reach.

They knew that a few weeks alone in their hideouts would prove too tame and that ultimately the boys would contact some close friend or relative. So a close watch was kept. on the immediate family. Here at Meade a sister lived very much within the law. Her residence was at the edge of town on a hill sloping down to a small valley.

Near the base of this hill was the stable. On dark nights the Dalton boys would skirj the town, tie their horses in the stable and visit their sister. When word of their visit leaked out as it did several times, a possee would surround the house and congratulate each other that this time they had the boys in the bag for sure. Then to their surprise the Daltons would be seen speeding over the hill on their horses. It was not until years after the boys were dead that a secret tunnel was dis covered connecting the house and the barn.

By this simple method the Daltons eluded capture for many years. The City of Meade has purchased the entire Dalton hideout property and turned it into a city park. The house and barn are now museums and the tunnel has been enlarged to permit easy travel. It's really a bit of the Old West and something I think you will enjoy. sponsored and appears in 1 1 I wneai am Checked Vance Profit Taking Develops After Half Cent Rise BY FRANKLIN MUIXIN Associated Press Market Writer CHICAGO, Dec.

16 Enough profit taking sales came into the wheat pit to check the advance today but only after prices had risen about cent to seasonal highs within fractions of the best levels sinre 1937. In the spot market cash wheat continued to be quoted at top prices for the past 14 years, with No. 2 hard around $1.39 and No. 2 soft red around $1.52. Corn prices declined fractionally while rye was off as much as a cent in some cases with profit taking a factor in both these pits.

For 3 years I have been hobnobbing with their descendants, visiting their hideouts and scenes of crimes, and doing research work on their activities. I have gazed on the final resting place of Dlllinger in Crown Hill cemetery In Indianapolis where my good friends the Seberts as custodians of that large cemetery inform me that no trass will exow on the former desperado's grave, Naturally I went 'overboard on that one only to find out that instead of vengeance of the Gods it was the shuffling footsteps of thousands of visitors that keeps the grave in its bare condition. I have visited the Boot Hill Cemeteries of Dodge City and Tombstone, reconstructed the last hours of the notorious Sam Bass at Round Tree, Texas, crawled through a dozen hideouts of the Jesse and Frank -James gang and visited their home a short distance from Kansas City where Mrs.
