HIS OPINION
SAYS Somes Method OF Regulating
prices b Stop Extreme Fiuctu-
stion Would be Good
Idea.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Some me-
thod Of regulating prices to stop en-
treme fluctuatioon is needed. Louis r.
Swift told the house interstate COM
merce committee today.
"If some system Of staDlizatlon
could be arrived at it would be good
thing" he said.
Lifting Of government control over
meat now would be disastrous, Swift
warned the committee.
During the present uncertainty,
were the food administrations authorl-
ty over the stabilized prices removed,
it would result in disastrous condt-
tion." said Swift.
"First prices might go to the eel
lar, and the next effect might be that
prices w:,uld go up and everybody
would be upset. And in the end, aver
age prices might not be different than
the stabilized price and 1t would have
resulted in great injury"
Swift's answer was drawn by Repre-
sentative Stephens, Nebraska, who in
uuired IL Swift believed creation of
a government agency to control or sta
bilize prices was worth considering.

NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-The New
York Evening Sun financial review to-
day said:
The trading community came to a
better realization today that stock
market pessimism has been overdone
and gave more heed to conservative
factors. Not that there were any i'm
sportant new Developments affecting
quoted values for Wall street to con-
slider. but principally because OF the
belief that stocks at going prices
have already largely discounted any
unfavorable events which the near
future may hold.
Taken altogether, the stock market
presented a much better front to90y
than for a week or more. This was
due. of course, to a considerable ex-
tent to technical reasons, within the
market Itself The short side having
been the popular one, it had become
lovercrowded in elevating quotations
as new buying.
