first few minutes there was evidence or
the same absorption that has been in
progress for three weeks and IL was not
long before many of the early losses were
turned into gains.
A feature of the early trading was
that many stocks that sold eX-dfVldend

and after opening at % was offered down
to e015, a loss Of over points.

strength Of its position, the action Of
the directors in making the dividend
payable in scrip instead of cash being
used as a reason for concentrated selling
on which 1t declined over points TO
ssh, but this loss was quickly recovered.
Steel common was quiet, selling at
S29s, a net gain of 4 of a point.
Although the majority Of the list
showed a strong tone during the greater
part of the forenoon. there were some
weak features, chief among them being
American Hide and Leather preferred

orally in good demand.
Sears ROebuck. after selling down to
s. "a, rose to 9lA.

FRANCE TAKES
CENSUS MAR. 6
Return of AIsace Lorraine to
Boost Total.

PARIS, Jan. 14.-On March a general
census Of the population Of France Is to
be held. All persons who in the night
Of March CT are residing in France, ir-
respective of nationality, will be called
upon to fill IN a registration form.
The registration forms will as: l.
Name and Christian name. 2. Sex. 5.
Age. /. Profession s. Nationality.
The head of family will then have
to recapitulate the names and nationality,
etc, Of all persons who lived in his house,
or fat during that night. In that w<S
it is hoped not only to have figures as to
population, but also to be able to trace all
those who have so far escaped paying
taxes Of all descriptions. Of which there
are now thousands in France.
The last census taken in France was In
1911 and showed that at that time there
were 45, 1876, 1897 inhabitants in France and
in Algeria. One million one hundred
thousand foreigners registered.
In the next census and despite war
losses the figures are expected to be much
higher by the return of Alcase Lorraine
to France. whereas, the number Of for
eigners is expected to be in excess OF
former figures due largely to the antici-
pated number Of tourists.

We have had a fairly active MARKET
with values fuctuating within a liberal
range, and presenting n very noticeable
feature a tendency toward dizziness on
the bulges This is usually 4 fairly good
indicator that urgent buying has ceased,
and this is entirely in order. since We
have had an immense amount Of buying
OF the urgent kind. presumably cOFer-
ing Of short commitments. And since the
advance has been a liberal one its per-
fectly natural that new buyers should
hesitate.
So far as we are able to Judge there
has been no change in the friendly mar
ket sentiment that has developed durin
the last couple of weeks, but Technically
the market has been weakened and TINS
is a mighty good reason for little
caution, In the rails the demand Is
spasmodic. but considering the slowing
down in business and the Disappointing
earnings. the rail market has given
very good account of Itself.
During the Immediate future We an
ticipate less violence in market swings

RUSS REPORTED
CONSIDERING 3
NEW WAR DRIVES
London Foreign Office Dis
covers Effort to Regain
Balkan Boundaries.
OTHER MOVES OUTLINED

LONDON, Jan. 14.-Three military
campaigns, one Of them affecting Great
Britain directly, have been under con-
sideratfon by the Russian government,
according to reports today to the Brit
ish foreign office.
The three possible thesters, outlined by
an official Of the foreign office are;
The Baltic states, through Roumania
to Constantinople or through the eau
casus to India.
Accustomed to war gcares which never
materialized, the foreign office investI-
gated carefully after the first reports Of
Bolshevlst plans emanated from Paris.
1t was found that an extensive move
ment has been started for the BalhS
drive to reclaim the pre-war Russian
lines.
Dispatches from Athens today lent
color to reports of the Russian purpose
to claim Constantinople. These reports
said hundreds Of BoIshevik agents had
appeared in the Turkish capital to work
among remnants Of the Wrangel army
there.
The Wrangelites, according to thess
reports, were urged TO execute a coup
d'etat, seize the city, proclaim a Red
government and enter an immediate al
lance with MOSCOW.
Foreign office Investigations cause the
belief, however, that the first Russian
attack will be launched at the Baltic
territories.
Lately, it was reported to the foreign
office, Russia has been using her in
fuence to prevent Lithuania from re-
ceiving the mixed troops sent by the
League of Nations to supervise the wilma
plebiscite. 1t was expected that still
larger Red concentrations might be eff
fected on the Lithuanian boundary TO
brighten the country into barring ths
leag ue's force.
