It at 12:15 p.m. Mr. Hoover wore an overcoat during the reading of his Inaugural address but no hat. He stood cut from beneath the roof of the stand and It was apparent that the rain was beating down on his head. Beginning his address at 1:10, the new President faced one of the largest crowds that has ever attended the Inauguration of a President.

Upward of 40.000 persons were gathered In the plaza In front of the Capitol. There was an uneven plain of blue and black umbrellas as far as one could see. Despite shouts of "Down with umbrellas!" the spectators refused to uncover. "Hall to the Chief." President Coolidge and Presidentelect Hoover, together with Mrs. Coolidrje and Mrs.

Hoover, arrived at the front of the stand after attending the inauguration of Charles Curtis as Vice President in the Senate chamber. At 12:53 the U. S.

Hoover was close behind. There was a pause of 20 minutes before the oath was administered. During this time the crowd, covered with newspapers, raincoats and umbrellas, grew impatient. The official guests in the stands began a loud stamping. A group of Indians in full war paint retreated for shelter under the main portico of the Oapitol.

Hats Lose Luster. Thousands of top hats began to get dull. The clerk of the United States Supreme Court escorted Mrs. William Howard Taft, who had no umbrella, to a front row scat Just below the grand stand. At 1:10 Chief Justice Taft, wear ing his judicial robes and a blade skullcap, appeared at the front of the stand with a Bible in his right hand.

Herbert Hoover, his face a deep tan from the Florida sun, arose and faced Mr. Taft. Mr. Hoover and Chief Justice Taft were Just visible above an enormous bouquet of red roses which covered the reading stand and microphones. Mr.

Hoover was dressed in a morning coat with wing collar. His overcoat was black. He stood solemn and erect as Mr. Taft administered the oath. Then, as he said "I do," the 31st President bowed and kissed the Bible.

Prices, somewhat higher at the opening, weakened during the morning, but rallied again as the Hoover inaugural address came over the tickers. In the afternoon they declined again and many were down from 2 to 4 points from the tops as the market entered the final hour. Much of the selling which accompanied the decline was regarded as normal profit taking after last weeks big gains. There was little In the news of the day to make for a reaction except possibly the Mexican revolt, about which, however, little was known. Call money at 8 percent despite some calling of loans and most of the news was of a cheerful nature.

A number of stocks had sufficient strength to reach record high prices. The most conspicuous were Kcn-necott. National Power. Republic Steel, Murra Corporation and Lambert. Individual Issues In various groups, such as Chrysler, were up from 2 to 5 points.

During the reactionary periods, however, such Issues as General Electric, Montgomery Ward, Packard, Bethlehem, Wright, U. S. Steel and American Can were down from 2 to 4 points, while some of the hlgn priced lssles were off from 10 to 12. The Hoover address was well liked In soeculative circles but it contributed nothing new to what Wall Street expected. The absence of any definite program about railroad consolidation was disappointing to some speculators.
