Livestock.
o. S. Yards, Chicago, Jan. 13.-
Cattle and hog supply was much
larger than expected today, and
there was no chance to hold val
ues without a decline. More than
5000 stale hogs held over from
the day before, hurt the trade. One
feature of the trade has been the
good demand for feeding lambs.
While the decline was generally
easy yesterday and today. yet thin
stock went to the country at $II75
@l2.00, which was less than 81 be-
low the best killing lambs. Re-
ceipts OF livestock for the local
yards today we're estimated at s. 900
cattle, $4,000 hogs. 10000 sheep and
lambs, and 1000 calves.
Cattle.
Cattle trade was weak and most
or the steers were a little lower
Some deals showed a decline of Is

Trading was slow from the start,
and many deals were off 35c. De-
mand showed up a little better aft
er the first rounds, when the gen
eral trade was called Csc off. Prime
light hogs made $40, while 10
pound stuff went at $S.25. There
was fair demand for heavy hogs
at the decline. Some of the rough
packing hogs sold at s6.2506.75,
but good lots made 81.
Sheep.
Prime lambs were called steady,
but few of these were offered.

Curb Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright. 1922.)

New York, Jan. 13.-Dealings on
the curb exchange today did not
pick UP to the same extent as those
on the stock exchange. For the
greater part of the time business
was quiet. But the market held
strong and whenever traders offer
ed down prices at all these dips
were followed by a prompt re-
bound.
Kirby Petroleum at first was in
clined to sell off under profit taking
but later rallied. This stock was
helped by the announcement that
the company has brought in its
second 10,000-barrel well in the
Mexia fields. Other oils such as
Standard OF Indiana, Standard of
New York and Simms held strong.
Cities Service issues had a mod
crate reaction. and at one time Vac
uum Oil lost several points on
only a small amount OF selling.
Lincoln Motor appeared to have re-
ceived about all the benefit to be
expected from the projected deal
with Ford. There was heavy profit
taking again from those who have
bought at the low prices. The Old
Durant stock was slightly higher,
while Durant of Ohio eased on.
There was a bit of Q squirt in Inter
Continental Rubber. Trading in
the tobacco group was active with
the tendency upward. R. ]. Reyn-
Odds, Philip Morris and Tobacco
Products Export were the leaders.
The bond market was very active
and broad Anaconda Is were heav-
ily bought at an advance Of . point

another feature.

MOTOR STOCKS.

-
The motor shares were the lead
ers in the market today There was
large uncovered, short interest
in both Chandler and Studebaker
but there was a good deal more
than short covering behind the
movement in these two stocks. The
buying in Chandler followed di-
rectly upon private advances that
the company now has on hand
enough orders to keep it employed
to capacity for the first half OF the
year. Under the circumstances the
IS dividend Is regarded assured.
The facts in relation to Studebake-
were set forth yesterday This
company is looking for an increase
in 1922 production of fully a third,
even as compared with the record
output of last year. These expecta-
tons are founded upon the busi-
ness that has already been booked.
Those who were active in the stock
today were talking increased divi-
bends. Directors meet for dividend
action the latter part of this month
MOTOR ACCESSORIES.
Stocks of motor accessories COM
panies while not especially active
moved forward with the motor
shares. The principal demand was
for Stewart-Warner and Mullins
Body but others of the group like
Bosch Magnetic and Parish and
Bingham were moving ahead. The
situation in most of these compan-
les is, as previously explained. that
the losses of 1921 were fully alb q.
sorbed, that they have begun to
receive releases on old business
previously held IN, and in general
that their affairs have turned the
corner.

The movement OF a number of IS

by low money rates has been aug
mented by other influences which
have proved for the better 1t was
apparent that the resignation of
the French cabinet was less of a
factor in the dealing than the con-
fdence that there will be a general
adjustment of the European econ

Moreover the strength in Canadian
