St Louis, Jan. 2s.-Increased activ-

Is shown in u report of the eighth
Federal reserve district.
The report shows that manufactu-
rers have orders on hand that are 600
per cent beyond normal. and that the
business OF wholesalers and jobbers
Is $50 per cent greater than at this
time last year.
Agricultural conditions are good. the
report continues. and states that the
Industrial situation is better than in
many months. No labor difficulties
are apparent. the report asserts. but
emphasizes that there is a marked
shortage of skilled labor.
There has been much talk" says
the report, ''of various organizations
TO fight the cost of living. but little
has been accomplished and it seems
that little will be accomplished until
individuals stop indulging in extrava-
gance.
Banks are besieged by small bor-
rowers, who have discovered the COL

of these loans are renewed at ma

GRAIN, LIVESTOCK

CHICAGO GRAIN.

chicago. Jan. 8.-Bears were in con-
troll Of the corn market at the close
today, the more deferred months
showing losses OF q to &c, while the
January option was unchanged. At
the close the market was doubtless
in an oversold- condition and the ikelI-
hood is that many smaller shorts win
row.
Weakening influences in the corn
market was the hedging sales of
rye I'm Chicago and the weakness ~
cash wheat in different positions.
This drove many OF the smaller long,

some OF the shorts to put out short

SUPREME COURT
AND WALL STREET

Some surprise was occasioned In
financial circles on the announcement
that the Supreme Court would short
ly adjourn. 1t is felt. however. that
inasmuch as income tax returns must
be in by March 15. next. decision in
the stock division matter will be
handed down before an adjournment
takes place.
Hundreds of millions Of dollars of
income for 1919 are represented by
stock dividends and in the absence of
a decision recipients do not know
how to make out their tax returns
IL the, dividends are to be taxed, as
the law says in so many words they
must be, the public, does not know
whether to turn them in at par at
the market price on the day of pay
ment or at the market price at the
end of the year. The subject is one
that the Supreme Court ought to set
tie definitely out of consideration for
business men in general regardless
of what effect it may have on the
stock market.

STOCKS MAKE
RAPID RISE
Practically All Leading Is.
sues Advance as Shorts
Rush to Cover.

New York, Jan. 26.-Professional
traders worked themselves into a
bear panic In Wall Street today and
as result there was a buoyant mar
ket in those stocks where a large
short interest existed. This was pain
fully apparent In Crucible. Chandler
Motors. General Motors. Pierce Arrow.
Studebaker. Mexican Petroleum and
Baldwin. Some other industrials were
strong. and L. 5. Steel distinguished
itself by advancing more than a point.
The rails were heavy. No new buying
power of Importance came into the
Street and most of the business began
and ended around the tickers.
Money went to 10 per cent in the
afternoon, but renewals were at I.
Sterling established another new low
record for all times at 35S-75. So did
kronen at twenty-nine-hundred of
a cent each. Francs made a new low
R-3a, lire at 1LE. and marks at .0l02.
''hIs collapse of the foreign exchange
market was a direct result of the ad-
vance by the Federal Reserve Board
OF its discount rates. This advance
postpones the possibility of renewing
active trade with Europe indefinitely.
Very naturally foreign exchange will
continue to decline as long as this
Federal Reserve barrier remains
- ..s, international trade. Gold
went to ll6 shillings in London. a new
high record.
Failure of the Supreme Court to
hand down a decision in the stock
dividend cases would naturally be a
bear argument. but the bears were
frightenen, and when announcement
was made that no decision would come
there was a slight reaction only and
then n sharper advance.
Highest prices of the day were aboIt
ten minutes before the close. but in
the last five minutes there was heavy
selling again that shaded prices in
the most buoyant issues two and three
points The close was. nevertheless.
strong. for the short interest is still
extremely large.
Motor stocks have such large short
interest entrapped that it is difficult
to say whether the market in them
is really going up or going down.
Sharp advances were seen today. but
ms soon as the short interest gets COW
cred the true market for motor stocks
will develop.

u. S. STEEL

Quarterly earnings of the United
States Steel Corporation will be made
public after the market closes today.
Estimates run from s25,O00.O0O to so. =
0o0,eoo. Small earnings are expected
because the strike was almost en-
tirely in the last quarter of the year.
but even at the lowest estimate the
company will probably show a good
margin over dividend requirements
unless an extraordinary amount is
set aside for depreciation.
There are many who believe the
corporation may declare a dividend
in Liberty bonds or Victory notes,
leaving its cash balance large.
