SPECTATORS MAINTAIN
CONFIDENCE AND WORK
FOR RISE ON STREET
Stocks See-saw Back and

Nmrow Range.
BY STUART ?. WEST.

lOpNFlghi. 1880. Dy 1 ne san Ahtohlo Aib"t'
New York, Jan. cit was another
waiting market on the New York
stock exchange todsy-that it was a
market which was waiting for further
developments in the European situa-
ton.
Speculative interests working for
the rise. maintained a quiet confidence,
but were reluctant TO attempt any
fresh movement. In consequence the
market merely drifted back and forth
in a comparatively narrow range
throughout much Of the session.
Among individual stocks there were
few features.
/ Chile Copper made a new high and
so did Cosden. The latter was in
fluenced by talk that the preferred
stock is TO be retired. leaving the en-.
tire earnings and assets of the CON-
pany for the common.
Prices Of equipment stocks were well
maintained and this was the case also
in the steels. On the other hand
Allied Chemical was sold on the idea
that the recent disappointing turn in
the companies earnings would inter
fere with the increase in dividends
upon which the late advance had in
part been based.
Pierce Arrow stocks moved ahead
on the news that the company has
practically completed arrangements
for some financing which would retire
bank loans now approximating sS,-
100000. 1t was reported that the new
securities will consist of $4,000, 900
first mortgage 6 per cent bonds and
S4,000,000 s per cent debenture bonds.
Banking interests in the Pierce Arrow
company are said to be cheerful about
the outlook Of the company for 1923
and are looking forward TO earnings
in the neishborhood Of s2,000,000.

SEEMS SURE CONFLICT
DATES WILL CONTINUE
IN BIG LEAGUE CITIES
New York May Not Have
Them, but Other Two-
team Cities Will.
BY John b, FOSTER.

Copyright, 1928, BY The san Antonio Light
New York. n. ", Jan. 9.--While ell
this chatter and furore over conflicting
dates in two-team major league cities
as raging, it was called TO mind that
out in Chicago the White Sox and the
Cubs have always conflicted. As
matter Of fact the Chicago owners have
welcomed conflicts rather than see
chance 10 make money escape them.
Many requests have been made 10
Presidents Heydler and johnson, who
met at Atlantic City, to talk schedules,
10 say what it's all about. Many Won
der why Atlantic City was chosen IN
preference TO West Baden, Ind, where
the schedulers generally assemble.
II is suggested the almost-war that
arose when the Yanks said they didn't
want conflicts and the Giants proclaim
ed they did. caused the schedule max
ers 10 stay near the scene.
Incidentally, the Giants meant it
when they asked for conflicts. Be
tween the world series and various ota-
er incidents. the Giants believe they
have trimmed the ears of the Babe Ruth
craze. despite the 1000 plunkers week
which Bambino is paid.
Now neither Heydler nor Johnosn
can answer the requests made as 10
whether all conflicts are to be elimin-
ated in all two-team towns. Rest as
sured. Mr.. st. Louis fan. Mr.. Chicago
fan and the rest of you. where there are
two to pick from. If the two manage
ments in your town say they don't care
one way or the other, you'll be able TO
chose which game you'll go to see on
next summers Sunday afternoons. IL
the Yanks adhere 10 their demand that
there be no conflicts in New York, there
may be none here. but il will be only
in New York where there will be no
conflict.
