STOCK MARKET RUNS
INTO HEAVY PROFIT
TAKING AT OPENING
Customary Disposition to
Realize Profits FolloWs
Good Sized Rise.
BY STUART p. WEST.

New York, Jan. 19.-Conflicting in.
fluences were in evidence today in the
stock market which was a mixed af.
fair. Realizing sales were heavy in
some directions and made their impress.
sion on prices. But as against this
the operations were on in. other quar-
tiers. The net result was series OF
very confused changes but with no sign
however, of serious Interruptions in the
main tendency as it has been for the
last month and a half.
Sterling was up again and French
exchange inclined to do better.
Steel common and Studebaker ran
into large offerings after another dis
play of strength. Anaconda Copper
was obviously receiving strong support
every time it fell below AZ. Thurs.
days selling in this stock was explained
on the ground that number of people
were making n switch from the stock
to the new debenture bonds which are
practically a call on the former at
and above 50.
Profit taking was heavy in Packard
Motors and also in Hudson. Timken
Roller Bearing made new high on
pool operations inspired by the favor
able earnings of the company and by
the expectation that these will lead
later on to larger dividends.
Railway stocks gave n better account
of themselves than they have in some
time. although the buying here was
confined TO a half dozen or so selected
issues.
The operations on the stock exchange
again originated obviously enough with
speculative syndicates and pools. The
outside public was a minor factor, but
still this pool speculation had legiti.
mate grounds, first in the abundance OF
credit supplied and second in the in
creasingly favorable advices from trade
centers. 1t may be that in the end
these operations will be overdone, that
they will be pushed MS they were last
spring and again last summer beyond
the limit warranted by the facts of the
situation,

HALLIBURTON COMES In
Hears OF Indictment and Surrenders to
Sheriffs Office Friday.

A. d. Halliburton, ~ years old. q
resident of Somerset, Texas, surrender
ed to the BCxar county sheriff shortly
afternoon Friday, having been indicted
by the Bexar county grand jury Thurs
day in connection with the killing of
Prof. W. A. Chapman at Somerset, on
December IS, last. Habeas corpus pro-
ceedings will'be instituted in the Thirty
seventh District Court Friday after
noon in an effort TO have Halliburton
released on bond.
HalliburtOn's Indictment grew out of
a double tragedy at Somerset in which
j. q. HARDWOOD, son-in-law of Hallibur-
ton, and Professor Chapman were
killed. Chapman first shot Harwoud,
testimony brought out at a habeas cor
pus hearing disclosed, turned his gun on
Halliburton and fired once, when the
latter shot him. The trouble grew out
Of the discharge of Halliburton's daugh-
ter as a school teacher in the Somerset
schools of which Chapman was prin-
cipal.
Halliburton has ben out on bail since
the shooting and came to San Antonio
to surrender Friday when notified that
he had been indicted.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

Complications brought about by the
French entry into the Ruhr have never
made at any time serious impression
outside of the foreign exchanges. But
today they were more than ever ig-
nored.
Profit-taking not inspired at all by
the foreign news. but simply by the GUS
tomary disposition of the speculative
following to take profits after n good
sized rise. In the main this selling
produced little effect and in the after
noon stocks which had rather Jagged
behind at the start were bid up again.
1t was not an important day in the
bond market. but the main point there
was that prices should have been sus.
tanned as well as they were in face OF
the large output of new security Of
ferings.
Foreign government bonds hung
around low prices, but the selling pres
sure in them was considerably. reduced
Taking the present quotations for the
French government loGn-thG 77l-2s on
an SIP per cent basis and tho IS on
an s IL per cent basis-alons with the
heaviness of French exchange. it GER
tainly cannot be said that there Is
any optimism i'm. financial circles re
garding the outcome of the violent
measures in the Ruhr. On the other
hand, it was made clear that the de-
cline in sterling from its high. S4.6S
ten days ago. to S4.63 on Wednesday
had no reference whatever TO the sit
untion across the Rhine. but was wholly
due TO fears that n break off in the
negotiations for refundinS the British
war debt. As soon as it became known
this morning that the heads of the Brit
ish commission were inclined 10 concede
Americas contention on the interest
rate. sterling rallied abruptly, getting
up to S4.66.
