STOCK
UNUSUAL FEATURE
Stocks Firm at Opening.
Reactionary Later and
, Irregular at Close
Ik of Session
By Auoclftted Tress
New Tork, January 12.—Business
on the stock exchange today was
moderate In volume and lacking note
w or thy features. The recent invest
ment demand for government bonds
and other high grade securities
fceemed to have temporarily run ita
course.
Stocks were firm at the opening,
reactionary during the intermediate
period and irregular later, when of
ferings of oil, tobacco*, International
paper and specialties, including Co
lumbia Graphophone common and
preferred at low records invited
fresh short selling.
Kails, especially coalers, were the
only stocks to manifest a degree of
firmness or immunity from profes
sional pressure. Extreme gains of
1 to 2 points in that group were re
duced at the close.
Failure of the local federal reserve
bank to order further reductions of
rediscount and interest rates was
"without more than passing influence
on money rates. Call loans again
held at 8 per cent, and many new'
time loans at 4Vfc to per cent ware
leported.
The resignation of ths French
cabinet, in which the question of
German reparations evidently fig
ured, occasioned some activity in re
mittances to Paris. Foreign ex
changes as a whole, however, showed
.little unsettlement, reactions in
French, Belgian and German quota
lions being neutralized by strength
of Dutch, ttwiss and Scandinavian
lulls.
An unusually large gain of reserve
liabilities was ths chief item of ln
terest In the Bank of England's
statement. The report of th« State
i ank of Germany showed no change
in its gold holdings and note circu
lation, but credits and deposits were ;
substantially lower.
Liberty bonds eased on realising
lor profit, but closed at trLfling
i^uius and losses. Victory 3%s at
j 00.26 and the 4*4« at 100.30. made
now high records for a long period,
-wany of the old-tlm® railway bonds
'were in demand, but foreign Issues
■were irregular on latest develop
ments in the French political situa
tion. Total sales (par value; aggre
gated $22,875,000.

| IRON AND STEEL REVIEW |
Cleveland, January 12.—The Iron
Trade Review says: The first busl- I
ness week of 1922 has produced some
tangible support of the belief that
revival of heavier buying of iron and
steel has been waiting upon year-end
settlements.
Some Important tonnages have been
Included in the week’s turnover, with
resumption of Industrial operations
generally and buyers are showing
more disposition to open negotiations.
The best that the Industry expects Is
slow expansion. Stesl plants haye
begun the year on about a 40 per cent I
basis, but it Is confidentially pre- ;
dieted this will be enlarged soon.
The fall In steel ingot production
in December was in line with expecta
tions. Ingot production for the cal
endar year of 1921 is shown unof
ficially to have been approximately
ro,000.000 tons, which represents about
*46 per cent of the peak year of 1917.
With resumption of automobile pro
duction on practically 50 per cent
basis considerable buying of iron and
hieel is expected to originate soon
from this source. Ford Motor com
pany haa placed one order for 12,000
tons of sheets with Independent mills.
January production of this builder
• alls for 50,000 cars. General Motors
company schedule for this month is
made up of 8,000 Chevrolet, 0,300
Ruick, 1,500 Cadillac, 800 Oakland and ,
500 Oldsmobile.
The Dodge plant will build 450 !
[Maxwell, 150 daily, and Hupmobile 80 |
t ars daily. Studebaker plans to turn 1
out 3,500 at South Bend, and 4,500
at Detroit this month.
Railroad buying is reviving. Car
awards this week total 6.600. Rail
orders for 1922 on mill books total .
•100,000 tons. About 500,000 tons ad- ;
ditional will be closed shortly. A
v eleome break in many blank months
in this field is the award of some new i
vessel construction on the lakes. '
One new bulk freighter has been j
definitely placed, smaller craft closed
and a third large carrier Is on the
x erge of being definitely placed.
The Iron Trade Review’s composite j
market average of 14 iron and steel 1
products is a shade lower this week i
again owing to softness in pig iron.
Composite is 333.54 compared with I
333.64 the week previously, $33.99 in '
December and $27.96 in January, 1913. 1
The pig iron market is starting off
•with more activity in spots and a bet- !
ter outlook. Buying by leading pipe \
works in the south the past week has
called for probably 25,000 tons. Some
of the low grade iron went at $15.50.
Birmingham, and lower price of $16
for No. 2 also was developed on this
and other offers of sellers. American
Radiator company was further buyer
of 6,100 to 7,000 tons.

AGAIN UNSETTLED,
CLOSING STEADY
Little Trade Buying or Cover-,
ing on Declines and Net
Gain of 3 to17 Points
Was Registered
Bj Associated Press
New York, January 12.—The cotton
market was unsettled again today.
Advances met increased offerings but
the selling was not as active as
earlier in the week, while there ap
peared to be a little more trade buy
ing or covering on declines, and the
close was steady at a net advance of
3 to 17 points. After scllln-g at 17.98c
early. March contracts reacted to
17.78c, later advancing to 18.02c and
closing at 17.88c, compared with
17.82c at the close of the previous
day.
The market opened steady at an
advance of 8 to 13 points and the
more active positions sold about 10 to
16 points net higher right after the
call on relatively steady Liverpool
cables, better Manchester advices, and
talk of a firmer technical position.
As March approached the 18c level,
offerings increased with the south a

late in the morning with January
selling off from 18.05c to 17.88c, or
about 4 points net lower.
The market then steadied on re
ports of a better tone In the stock
market and while there was ‘another
little flurry of early afternoon selling
on the reported resignation of the

again on reports of a firme.r spot
basis in the southwest. January ad
vanced to 18.10c and May to 17.66c,

Texas has created non-cotton pro

son. (’ollin and Liberty counties in
the fight against the pink boll worm

but probably accounted for the rela

bullish than otherwise, although It
showed some falling off from the No

was quiet.

By Associated Press
New Orleans. January 12.—Higher
from the opening today, the cotton
market had a complete change of
complexion from what it has been
wearing of late. Shorts furnished a
good part of the demand, covering to
secure their profits; this wna par
ticularly the case In the morning ses
sion. In the afternoon fresn long
buying became a factor, and on It the
market reached its highest levels,
showing advances of 27 to 33 points
on the old crop months. October, at
its best, traded 20 points up. not
showing the strength tjiat the nearer
months had. March went to 17.09o
and October to 15.86c. On the close
the list wan at net gains on the day
of 10 to 16 points, with March at
16.91c and October at 15.78c.
A better Liverpool than expected
helped the market on the opening,
and the buying was continued on re
ports from Texas that the governor
of that slate had issued a proclama
tion prohibiting the planting of cot
ton in additional areas in the coun
ties where the pink boll worm had
been discovered. Toward the middle
of morning there were recessions
of 10 to 16 points, but the market
came back again at midday on pre
dictions of bullish week and sta
tistics.
In the late trading reports of the
resignation of the French cabinet
were regarded as a favorable devel
opment. and bullish traders com
menced to take hold again on the
idea that the resignation wrould clear
the European situation.

SHANNON A CO.'S LETTER
New- York, .January 12.—(Special.)
With less pleasure to sell and more
encouragement from Liverpool and
reporta of a firmer basis in Texas,
prices wer* steadier today, though
there was cotton for sale whenever
March worked up to 18 cents or about j
that. Manchester advices said that
East Indian markets were improving
and a better business was looked for ;
from the far east after the Chinese
new year observances which would
occur February 1. The official decla
ration of non-producing aonei in some j
of the best countiesrin Texas seemed
to bring home the necessity for dras- :
tic measures to eradicate the pink boll J
worm, the worst of all cotton pests.
One rally does not make an advance
and fresh disquieting rumors will no
doubt make their appearance from i
time to time and jar the nerves of :
the market, but these w ill, we believe, i
gradually steady and communicate a ,
stronger degree of confidence to the i
brain of the body economics. Con
servative action on the constructive
side in weak markets still looks the
best.—Post A Flagg.
HIJBRARI) BROS. A CO.
New York. January 12.—(Special.)
The market opened steady on better i
Liverpool cables, and the advance
was aided by a report from Texas
that the spot basis had improved
within the last 24 hours. The mar
ket acted steady practically during
the entire session. After small wave*
of selling at various times, tho mar
ket promptly came back showing a
better undertone than for some day?
past. The feeling is very much mixed,
but the general feeling is more or
less bearish. The advance that oc
curred today is more or les.i of a
natural reaction, and we w-ould not
he surprised to see the market sell |
off further before a steady advance j
occurs.—Hubbard Bros. & Co.

Wheat Averages
Slightly Higher
Price Yesterday
By Associated Pres*
Chicago, January 12.—Wheat aver
aged a little higher in price today
chiefly owing to removal of hedges
against sales of 1,300.000 bushels of
seed wheat taken for shipment to
Russia. The market closed unset
tled, varying from %c net decline to
%c advance .with May $1.11* to
$1.11* and July 90* to 99%c. Corn
finished a shade to *c higher. Oats
unchanged to a shade off. and pro
visions at gains of 7* to 50c.
In addition to the bullish effect of
Russian relief dealings, the wheat
market was given at times a slight
further stimulus by indications of im
provement in domestic milling de
mand. Firmness in the Liverpool
market tended somewhat also to
help the bull side. On the other
hand. general export inquiry was
slow as a result apparently of Ar
gentine competition. Besides the gen
eral market effect of the fall of the
French cabinet was depressing, al
though May delivery scored the high
est prices of the season after the
news from Paris had been circulated.
Assertions that the Italian govern
ment might throw its 37,000,000
bushels of wheat reserve on the mar
ket to prevent a rise In bread prices
was given as a reason for selling
which weakened prices here at the
last.
Corn and oats were upheld largely
by the influence of purchases made
for Russian relief.
Higher quotations on hogs ap
peared to be responsible for the ad
vance in the provision market.
