SPECIAL ISSUES
a.. LEAD MARKET
i H.'' '"
Remarkable B. and O. Report
Helps Rail Stocks-For-:
{ eign Exchange Lower.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 27.--The. stock
market in the short period of trading
today was substantially thei same
sort of market that has been seen all
week. A few special issues were not
ably active and strong. the principal
individual moves being upward. But
in the main body of stocks there was
very little change and trading was
dull.
Fine h. and o. Record.
One of the most extraordinary in
cfdents of the news of the day was
the Baltimore and Ohio report of De-
cember. This road has reputation for
more rapid shifts than almost any
other carrier in the country , out novn- vn-
equaled the change between the heavy
deficit of last September and the
December showing of Sb,2SS'VOU net
operating income, and increase OF 3D.
$1,000 over the month last year
The comparison between the Decem-
Der returns and those of three months
previous was effective testimony TO
the rapidity with which Baltimore ana
Ohio has recovered from the erect OF
the coal and shopmen strikes.
Railway shares showed little en-
thusiasm over the December trafhc
figures, but they held their ground.
Some of the speculative leaders ike
Steel common and Baldwin Locomo.
tive came down .. bit in the last half
hour. Bethlehem Steel B was heavy
again, rejecting uncertainty regard
ing the dividend outlook. and there
was special weakness in Royal Dutch
on what appeared to be European
selling.
Spicer Leads Market.
Among the strong specialties were
certain of the motor accessories, like
Spicer Manufacturing and Parish and
bingham, which have long been be-
hind the rest of the market for this
class of stocks. Hoffman machinery
had a sharp runup and So did Brook
lyn Edison.
Spicer Manufacturing stock today
proved to be the Saturday special,
taking the leadership in the market.
The strength and activity anected
other motor accessories and num-
ber went higher. Spicer business In
January is reported to be the best OF
any January in it's history.
Apart from the security markets all
the happenings in the financial situa-
tion today continued to point to in
creasing doubt as TO the success of
the French experiment in the Ruhr.
German marks struck new low
but this was not surprising. The
more SlSnllCdnI lHllS was lhC NoA
tinued pressure against French ex-
change and against French govern
ment bonds.
French Bonds Again Weak.
The French 71as, which as late az
the first week in January had sold as
high as %. struck IS. another new low
record. The French SIS, quoted be tow
%. were off 7 points within the three
weeks period and French francs.
which had closed last night at 6.3S per
franc, dropped well below the $50
level This was the response to the
latest violent measures adopted by
the French military authorities and
the growing unrest of the German
people, especially in Bavaria. a. =

NEW YORK, January 27.-The de-
gree of excitement which attended
closing trading Friday insured a wild
opening in cotton today. Heavy over.

the call. carrying May to 27%, cent
and a quarter from high levels of the
week
\ rush to secure cotton after such a
break followed the, opening, fully:
$4,000 bales of May and July being
taken from the ring in few minutes.
This started a thirty-point sharp re-
covery, May running up above % once
more
Trading was heavy, many holders
taking advantage of the upturn to
reduce their lines over Sunday. At
the same time mills bought more cot
ton than since Mondays break to cor
responding figures. With the whole
problem of distribution of the re-
mainder of this crop still unsoIved,
there was no disposition to believe
that prices would continue an un-
interrupted decline. The shock to
the market, however. has been one
not experienced since the check to the
beupward movement early in November.

Time for Beauty

Three Harding memorials are pro.
jectcd by a corporation organized in
Ohio for that purpose. Beginning
Sunday, the public will be asked tc
contribute funds for this purpose,
S3,000,000 being sought.
This is an era OF memorials. Every
day, every where, one hears OF new
memorial projects. Scarce a city or
town in all the United States that can
not boast a shrine In recent years
the movement has accelerated to the
point where one is confident of finding
an appeal for funds in the mail OF al
most every day.
1t is symptom of American pro-
gress. We are past the pioneering
age when we can visit Mount Vernon,
when Abraham Lincoln lives for all
OF us at that superbly beautiful mas
terpiece of marble in Arlington ccme-
terry. America is coming to have
background. Traditions are the de-
velopment of decades.
America is called nation OF money
grabbers. 1t is true that the country
is intensely industrial, that wealth
abounds. Perhaps the reason has been
that the United States could have no
other interest. Youth and the need
for development made anything else
impossible.
But it is characteristic OF the funda-
mental versatility of American people
that when the time came for other
things, beauty and sentiment, not less
than dollars have come to have place
in the life of every citizen.

An All Year Job

Mondays tax netting got nowhere
in particular. In the first place, the
meeting was not attended by the type
of citizens who are most interested
in tax matters by virtue Of the sums
they must pay each year. On the
other hand. every trouble maker. every
Socialist. every repudiator in this end
of the country was on the job to air
real and fancied grievances.
And there was lot OF stuff Mon
day which should have been permitted
to come before meeting. called os-
tensibly to soberly consider big and
pressing problem. Some socalIed
facts" were hopelessly in error. Some
OF the reputation talk sounded like
Russia. 1t is well TO reminder. in this
connection. that no small part OF Can
yon county's outstanding Indebtedness
traces back to the Steunenberg muir
der trials. And certainly no citizen
would even dare whisper that those
obligations should not be paid in full.
What Canyon county neds is an
intelligent, informed citizenship ready
and willing to devote time enough to
keep its fingrs on the purse of public
affairs every day OF the year. High
taxes. when the public does not want
to pay them. have only one cause
lack OF interest by the taxpayers in
public affairs.
The Tribune has repeatedly said.
and the fac; remains. that citizenship
is 365 day job every year and not
merely question of being hauled to
the polls every other year.
