STOCK MARKET

New York, jan 31.-Tradins in the
stock market today switched largely to
rails. tho inquiry being the broadcast OF
recent weeks. Standard issues gained
1 TO IN points, minor rails also dis
playing unusual activity. The move
ment followed announcement OF
grant Of increased rates to transcon-
tinental roads and publication Of
summary of the requested railway
wake increase. Industrials under lead
ership Of tho U. S. Steel also extende
Initial gains with popular equipments
and specialties. Liberty 3hc at 97.29
and second tours at 1918 recorded new
minimums. first fours repeating their
low at $3.50.
Advances at the opening Of today's
stock market were fairly well dis
tributed among steels, coppers. equip
ments, rails and war issues as whole
Gains in these groups extended to a
point in several instances approximat-
ing points. Specialties were repre. :,
scented by Texas company, Industrial
Alcohol, General Motors and 1nterna"
tional Paper. U. S. Steel rose point
and other leaders indicated further

THE INTERSTATE
TAKES TROPHY PLAN
SHOOTERS WHO HAVE LONG
RUNS TO CREDIT 90 NOT
HAVE TO CHANGE.

The Interstate Trapshootng aaso
citation announces that It has taker
over the various Long RIM Trophy
plans which have been in operation BY
tho different powder companies. How
ever It announces that those shooters
who have already some loag runs ia
their credit can have their choice OF
continuing their efforts to get the 70
quirod number Of long rms during
1918 or they can drop those and start
in on the new long run trophy plan OF
tho Interstate T1pshooting associ'
alton.
The association announces that un.
less all those who now have some
runs to their credit, but not enough
to entitle them to a watch from any
OF the powder companies, notify the
Interstate Trapshooting association,
219 Coltart avenue, Pittsburgh, Pa,
which plan they want to select, the ~.
ISOLATION will take 1t for granted that
such shooters will take tho Interstate
Trapshooting associatiou's plan for
1918.
This IL the logical ting for the In
terstate association to do becan0e the
number OF shooters who have two or
three or half . dosen runs to their
credit is getting 80 big that tie pow.
der companies would never know
when they weHe through with the
plan.
Some kind Of q limit ought to be
put on it and the right way TO do that
is to turn II over to the Interstate
association.

GRAIN REVIEW

Chicago. Jan. 31.-Adverse weather
conditions tended today to strength the
corn prices but the effect was largely
OFFSET by reports Of an increased sup
ply OF empty cars. The market held
within narrow limits. Opening quota
tons which varied from the Same as
yesterdays finish to q shade on with
March 1927 and May $1.25x were fol-
lowed by slight upturn that however,
failed to last.
Prospects Of An increased movement
made the market average slightly
lower the greater part Of the day
Prices closed easy k@Ac to nc ne,
lover with March $1.2ek and May
$1.25Ac.
All deliveries Of oats reached new
high price levels. Government buying
at interior points had much to do with
tho upturn. After opening at rs to Hc
advance with May Sly to size, the
market scored substantial gains before
beginning to react.
Realizing sales by holders moro than
ccunterbalanced in the provision mar
ket tho influence Of higher prices on
hogs.
