NEW YORK STOCK

NEW YORK Jan. 16-The growing insta-

market of the principal source OF demand
which had helped to sustain 1t for several
days past.
The earlv movement of prices was erratic and
feverish, with susL icion of manipulative meas

abandoned as the day advanced, and the wnole
list gave way. Evidences OF trade reaction
were allowed their full force in current esti-
mates of the outlook.

These showed a shrinkage of nearly ~ per

of operations still expanding, the result being

rentals and taxes would leave an actual deficit
for the month, compared with $500, 900 surplus

DoWNEY AVENUE BOY
GETS BAKER AUTOMOBILE

The little runabout REQ machine that
has been on view in the C. IL. Baker
shoe store windows for the last few
months was awarded yesterday to Val
Yoakum of 302S Downey avenue.
Considerable interest has centered in
this event as hundreds of purchasers of
Baker shoes were hopeful to the last
minute that the auto might be theirs.
1t was indeed novel form of advertise
ing, and to quote Mr.. Baker for it 1T
made great hit"
The boy who got the machine is de-
lighted beyond words, and those who
didn't get it all got their moneys worth
in shoes. Mr.. Bakers liberal business
ideas are certainly standing him in good
stead. He has today two of the finest
and busiest shoe stores in Los Angeles.
When questioned by a reporter about the
secret of his success he said there is no
secret to it, it's just giving the people
good, honest shoes at right prices all
the time

FIRE COMM SSlON OBJECTS
TO GAS PLANT NOISES

Councilman Bernard Healy assured Fire
Commissioner Anthony Schwamm yester-
day at the fire commission meeting that
he was no special friend of the gas COM
pany and never had been.
The exchange of compliments grew out
of the complaints of residents on Center
and Howard streets that the frequent
explosions and detonations in the opera
ton of the Los Angeles gas works at the
Also street bridge nightly racked their
nerves and shook their foundation walls.
Fifteen property owners were on hand
and they persuaded the commission to
agree to visit the locality some night to
hear the noises fo- themselves. Healy
asked the privilege of going with the
commissioners, and 1t was at this point
that the little interview occurred
Possibly an ordinance will be recon-
mended to the city council Monday maxi
ing unnecessary noises at night contrary
to law,
