M('i.\"l‘lil<1.\l., Que» Oct. S-(By the Canadian Prosn-Stcady buying in the afternoon session today curried the key issues on the Montreal Stock Exchange to substantial improvements. The market reflected renewal of con- fidence in New York where approval of President Hoover's half billion doi- lar credit corporation was shown.

‘Vhlle tho bulk of issues hero rc- mained pegged and consequently did not attract much attention, the inter- iistcd stocks, international Nickel. Brazilian Traction and Canadian 1's- clfic responded well to tho better feeling and closed at their high levels of the day. The index showed an ap- preciation sufficient to wipe out yes- terday's loss.

The annual financial statements of two milling companies made their ap- pearance during the day. As was es- pected the earnings were smaller than during the previous year. St. Lawrence Flour Mills Company, Limited. report- cd profits nmuun lag to $003M; for the fiscal year ended Aug. 3i, 1931, com- pared with $105,017 in the preceding year and earnings on the outstanding common stock of over $2 compared with slightly over $3 in the preceding year. A surplus after dividends was shown of $25,531.

Ogiivie Flour Mills reported for tho year cndcd August Iii, 1051i, earnings

$755,148 compared with $1,127,430. The earnings an common stock were equivalent ta $8.20 per share compared with $13.10 in the previous year. A surplus of $15,148 for the year's op- erntlons was shown. Each company reported maintained working capital.

Trading on the exchange was large- ly confined to four issues, the three inter-listed stocks and National Brew- eries. The brewing issue. pegged fit a minimum price of 52-1. was in strong demand, 2,244 shares changing hands at the minimum level reflecting a strong undertone for the issue which, at; its present dlvldcn‘ rate. pars an annual yield of $0.00.

MONTREAL DIJBKET SIDISLIGHTS.

(Canadian Press) MONTitl-IAL, Que., Oct. 8—While.

because of the restricted trading cou- ditions, the local stock market in to- day's session failed to- make any np-

preclnbio r-sponsc io the particularly vigorous rally in the New York mar- ket, there was apparent a general air

of firmness, with the fcw interlisted issues lo which a free market is Innin-

tnincd reflecting tho strength in \'v'aii

Street. The rise in Wall Street, as- suming as it did very important pru-

portlons, was soon followed hy broad strength in the leading commodity rnnrkcts.

President Hoover's latest plan for restoring economic stability, with lili- plicatioit of important events shaping in the international field in the matter of dcht revision and credits, is repon- sibic for this latest improvement in scutlnimtt. which finds markets gen- erally in what must ho assumed to be an over-sold condition.

On Monday. Thanksgiving Day is he- ing observer] in Canada, and the Montreal Stork Exchange and the Montreal Curh Market, according to announcements by the governing bod- ics will remain closed nd mot oth- cr exchanges are sure to follow suit. 1n the Unitctl States Columbus Day fails on bionday, so that the New York market and other leading ex- changes will remain closed. making the day a general holiday on tho Ameri- can continent.
