WAI.ZER Cnltfd Pres* Financial Fditor NEW YORK, Jan. 21.— Bonds fea tured markets in the short week end session today W’th substantial pains, while stocks ruled steady in dull turnover and commodities fluc tuated near previous closing levels. Strength in the securities market j was a factor in maintaining a : steady tone in shares. United States government issues again were prom- ; inent in the domestic issues where j second grade rails also were strong, j German bonds led the foreign sec tion following a spurt in that group on the London stock ex change. Trade Volume Lags Tickers lagged along on the Stock Exchange as volume shrank even from the recent light trading. A firm tone prevailed for a time, but prices sagged off from their highs and in some instances small losses were substituted. Steel common, American Telephone, Consolidated Gas, Union Pacific. North American, United Aircraft, and New Haven were slightly lower. Railroad shares for the most part were fractionally higher. Norfolk <Sc Western, an exception, jumped 4** points to 123"*. Car loadings for the week ended Jan. 14 totaled 500,- 322 cars, a rise of 70.670 as com pared with the preceding week which included a holiday. The total was off 66.327 cars from the corres ponding period of 1932. Gold Shares Strong Homestake Mining had another of its characteristic advances in the gold mining division, but others of the group were practically un changed. Homestake reached 150’i, up 3 points. General Motors met fair "demand ’near the close and made a small gain. Oil shares were slightly higher, despite further price reductions and reports of a demor alized condition in the oil indus try generally. News was unfavorable for the most part. Youngstown reported steel operations down 3 points to 15 per cent for next week. This is the first break in an uptrend in steel business since the year-end decline on seasonal causes. Price shading is spreading in the steel Industry, according to a Dow-Jones survey.

BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 21.—Wheat made a firm start and a tame finish on the Board of Trade today, closing a major fraction lower. Strength at Liverpool and inflation measures boosted prices early but there was an easy reaction on scattered li quidation and week-end evening up. Trading was not large. The mar ket lacked aggressive support des pite favorable developments such as lower Russian acreage, prospects for settling the war debt problem and a reduction in Indian acreage. Corn was firm on talk of export business, American prices being well under Argentine. Oats was easy and rye weak. At the close wheat was Y to % cent lower, corn ** cent lower to 4 cent higher, oats 4 to 4 cent lower, rye 4 to % cent lower and barley unchanged. Provisions were steady. Receipts were two cars of wheat, forty-eight of corn and eleven oats. Cash prices were unchanged to 4 cent lower on wheat, corn and oats.

By Timm Special NEW YORK. Jnn. 21. —Poor's in dex of general business rose to 65.8 in December, an increase of 0 9 over the November figure, according to Poor's business and markets bulle tin. Automobile production during De cember showed a substantial in crease over November normally there is a seasonal falling off dur ing this period. Output is contin uing fairly active this month. The spurt in motor car manufacture was . not great enough to offset the slackened demand for steel from other sources. Steel activity fell off during De cember. slightly more than was seasonably expected. Thus far this " month it has showed some gain, but automobile manufacturers still are the only major users of steel. The . value of mail order house and de-*“ partment store sales did not in- * crease so much as seasonably ex pected in December. Electric power production had a better than seasonal gain in Decem ber, and weekly reports so far this month indicate improvement. Con sumption of crude rubber in this country was reduced by an amount greater than was seasonably ex- ‘ pected in December: coal and coke’-'* production increased slightly more than do their seasonal indexes. The textiles situation remains about the same; mills are satisfac torily active, with the rayon division continuing in the lead. Boot and shoe manufacturing is gradually in creasing. The index for January . may show a slight drop from the December figure. rOOR S INDEX OF BUSINESS 1929. 1939. 1931. 1032. ’ January 113 8 102.9 78 2 64 9 February 113 2 98 0 78 3 63 3- March 113 6 94.5 76 6 61 6 April 115.9 103 5 88 1 65.3 * May 119 2 107 0 88 7 64 9 June . . 120.6 100 8 86 6 68 6 July 124.8 98 4 87 2 66.3 August 128 2 95 6 79 4 62 7 ■ September 120.2 93 4 75 6 62 8 November 110.5 83 6 71 0 64 9“'’ December 114.1 87 6 73 9 p 65 8 <pt Preliminary, subject to final revion. * INDIANAPOLIS WEEKLY LIVESTOCK REVIEW For Week Ending Thursday, Jan. 19 . - By U. S. Dept, of Agriculture • —Cattle— Receipts of cattle locally as well as at most of the outside markets were slightly Increased this week, the local run num bering 3,550 head against 3,252 a week earlier with twelve leading markets show ing a 10 per cent increase lor three dAys. Actual prices declines here, however, were not large and, in fact, most classes held nearly steady with occasional losses of c 25 cents or more on some classes compared with a week ago. but the-trade discourag--'. ingly slow, nearly on a peddling basis much of the time Among the classes showing some price loss were, heavy steers, inbetween grade steers and yearlings and weighty cows. The local supply of big weight steers was comparatively small but unevenly lower. Prices at some other markets where the supply of heavies was more ample, caused the local trade to drag and sag. Strictly finished lightweight steers and yearling's usually found a dependable outlet, as did real “cheap" kinds, but those grading high, medium to good were slow movers in most sessions. The plainer grades of she stock moved auite well and light fed heifers encoun tered but little difficulty, but edws with weight were not wanted. Heavy bulls also were under pressure. The w-eek's top of $6.75 was paid for a five-load string of choice 1.042-lb. yearlings. - A two-car string of choice 1,234-lb. steers made $6.60. but in a general w-av fed steers and yearlings sold at $6 25 down to $5.50. with good heavy steers down to $4 50 and below. The big end of the plainer steer and yearling crop, which comprised"* the bulk of the week's supply, soid at,. s4® 4.75 with common steers down to $3.50 or below. Odd head and small lots of fed heifer* sold from ss® 6. but the bulk of the heifer crop consisted of butcher kinds selling around $44/4.50. with odd head downward - as low as $3. Fat cows bulked at s2® 2.75 with a few choice lots up to $34/ 3.25 or above while low cutters and cutters moved prireinallv at, $1.50® 2. After starting the week at, a steady range, vealers advanced in the last two . sessions when ree-ints fell below- trade re quirements A gain of $1 on choice kind* and fully 50c on the plainer sorts carries good to choice vealers to a $6,59® 7 basis with a few head as high as $7.50 Thursday.* —Hogs— Hog prices moved within a narrow range the past week, but. Thursday’s market, un covered some strength which carried the top to the highest level in two weeks and equal to the highest since late in November. The net, advance from a week ago. however, is only 15 cents, with packing sows 5® 10c up. Lighter receipts, both locally and in the aggregate, was the main strengthening factor as the fresh pork trade has not been conducive to higher prices. The local run was onlv 20.000 head com pared with 25,484 head a week earlier. Shippers reduced their purchases from 10.000 head a week ago to 5 000 head for four days this week. Heavy hogs and packing sows continued to run in small numbers w-hile the bulk of the offering consisted of 180-250-lb. weights. A peak of $3.50 was paic Thursday with the fol lowing schedule of weights and prices taking the hulk of the hogs- 120-200 lbs . 53.45: 200-210 lbs,. S3 40: 210-225 lbs $3 35; 225-250 lbs, $3.30: 250-275 lbs . $3.25 275- 300 lbs . $3.20: 303-350 lbs, $3.15: 350-400 lbs, $3.10; packing sows mostly $2 35® 2 65. —‘•heap— Sheep and lamb prices were well main tained the past week with the trade re markably even from day to day. Local re ceipts at 3 000 head for the four days was less than half the supply a week earlier and supplies at, other markets were usually' slightly reduced. The character of the native lamb supply suggests that the ex haustion of the crop is not far distant, but the supply of westerns fed in this district has not vet started to flow in volume. Good to choice native lambs bulked at s6® 625 with a few lots at $6 35®6.?0. Fed western lambs bulked at $6.25® 6.40 Native (hrowouts sold downward from $3.50, and fat ewes bulked at sl®2.
