High money rates Imposed further restraints on the stock market during the eariy and mid dle stages of today's session, but this was more than offset later by encourag ing industrial prospects. All loans opened at 15 per cent, the highest renewal rate of the year, and rose to 25 per cent later, closing at that quotation. There was further eager bid ding for time money at 8 to 8 per cent, but little was forthcoming, borrowers be ing Informed that few new loans would be negotiated until after the January In terest and dividend turnover. The day's favorab.e developments In cluded another advance in the price of copper metal and reports of additional heavy bookings by steel producers. Some manufacturers. It was declared, have been obliged to refuse further orders. Several stocks stood out In the day's Irregular movement, especially American Woolen and United States Rubber, at ex treme advance of 13 and 5 points, re spect I vely, on prospective "extra" divi dend?. Steels, equipments, motors and oils also participated In the rigorous rally of the last hour with metals, shippings, leathers and several of the rails, although the latter, as a class, made comparatively little headway. Sales amounted to 1,350,000 shares. Trading In bonds was on the largest scale of almost any day of the year, but the trend was lower. Total sales, par value, aggregated $38,450,000. Old United States bonds .were unchanged on call. 38 CLOSING STOCK QUOTATIONS.

Feed, Etc. nge, noon session: Bid Seven Significant Words The words "Under Supervision Banking- Department, State of Oregon," in our advertising literature have a deep significance. The characteristics of trust company organization in Oregon merit the studious consideration of every Oregon investor. The Lumbermens Trust Company is organized under the trust company act. It has six hundred thousand dollars in capital and surplus paid up, and has deposited $100,000 in approved securities with the state. The State Banking Department has supervision over the Lumbermens Trust Company. It calls for reports on the company's affairs from time to time and sends its officers to examine the company's recoi-ds. The affairs of the Lumbermens Trust Company are safeguarded also by the deliberations of a highly competent and painstaking directorate. Bear these safeguards in mind when purchasing bonds. umbermersrJriist (o. S , a assssr 37.25 LAftD 3.37 23.60 23.87 4.37 24.62 24.87 SHORT RIBS.
