Sharp Break In Foreign Ex
 changes Feature Of Week

NEW YORK, Jan. 19-stock and commodity prices developed reactionary tendencies this week in response to an extensive readiustment of speculative accounts, but bond prices strengthened in reflection of cheap m rney rates, heavy European buying and liberal re- investment of 5anuary funds
 One of the features of the week WE & the sharp break in the foreign ex- changes which carried French fra ancs down to 4,27c. the lowest price ever recorded, and resulted in an extreme loss of four cents in demand sterling. Selling came largely from speculative sources and was based on political de- vel0pments in G'e7t Britain and France and the Threatened railroad mems strike in England. The decision of the French cabinet t0 raise taxes 20 per cent and to balance the budget which accounted for the partial recover was termed by bankers as one of the most constructive financial developments that has taken place in Europe since the Armistice.
 Money rates continued relatively easy.

| FINISHED GOODS.AREI IN BETTER DEMAND
Unfinished Lines Weak And IT, regular, Especially Print Cloth

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-There was Q better demand for finished cotton goods during the past week. Unfinished lines have been weak and irregular, es- peciaHy in the print cloth and convert ible divisions. Some improvement in the latter was noted toward the end of the week. The attendance of whole sale buyers in the markets has been very large, but their operations have been on O very conservative scale thus far. They have bought supplementary lines of novelty and fancy wash fa- brics rather better than staples.
 There has been some improvement in the call for percales, fine ginghams and few of the branded lines of bleached spreads have sold we'll. On some branded bleached muslins prices were advanced 1 cent a yard, and new prices were named on flannelettes. The de- mand for heavy knit underwear for fall las been very moderate at the new price basis, 20 per cent up from last season. Yarns have been irregular and in moderate demand. Some additional business has been done in fine and fancy converlibles. rE
 The converters have not been selling stap4e lines very freely, but have been moving their specialties more freely. Gotten duck and other heavy goods have been irregular.

EXTRA DIVIDEND
 RUMORS HEARD General Electric Scars Five ! Points To Highest Price Since 1902


 NEW YORK, Jan. 19-Strength of tlfe equipment and public utility issues featured today's brief and irregular stock market, price fluctuations in other groups showing a rather uncer- tain trend. ...
 General Electric was the outstanding .adividual feature, climbing more than five points to s2.047s, the highest price since 1902, and then yielding slightly on profit-taking. New York Air Brake and Westinghouse Air Brake closed F and 1 point higher, respectively. In the public utility group, good buying was noted in Brooklyn Union Gas Brooklyn Edison, Interboro Rapid Transit and Manhattan certificates, all of which closed one to two points above yesterdays final prices. Wall street heard rumors during the day that the directors of the United States Steel corporation would declare an eX- tra dividend of three-fourths of one per cent at the meeting, January 29, thereby placing the stock definitely on a 6 per cent basis, but these lacked of- ficial confirmation. Steel common closed unchanged at 1001a and the in dependents showed mixed changes on the day. Penn Seaboard was active on reports that it had received an order for 67 under frames for locomotives that Baldwin was building for the Atchison railroad.
 with the exception of Associated and Tfdewater, which moved up about a point each, oil shares failed to make much response to the further increase in mid-continent crude oil prices and additional announcements of higher gasoline prices.
 Phillips Petroleum turned heavy on the announcement of a new stock of fering, going as low as 34ss and closing half a point higher for a net loss of K on the day.
 United States Cast Iron Pipe, which has been moving rather erratically in the last few weeks, dropped nearly four points to 7212 and then rallied point. Consolidated Cigar preferred broke 5 points.
 giflia, which dropped more than two points, was the feature of the railroad gr6up. Most of the other changes were small and unimportant
 Foreign trading here continued to be influenced largely by that of London, where heavy tone prevailed. De- mand sterling sold around 4.2314c and French francs were quoted just above A.51c.
 With the exception of an increase of $19,S91 ,O0O in the reserve of member banks in the federal reserve bank, the wsekly clearing house statement showed decreases in all principal items. Loans, discounts and investments dropped $14s,0OO; cash in own vaults, $5,9S5 ,OOO; net demand deposits, $29,O35,- 900, and circulation, $230,000. Aggre- gale reserve totaled $529, ,000, leav- ing excess reserve of $1s,297 ,240, an in crease of $22, ,699, ,530 over a week ago.

INDUSTRIAL ISSUES
 SFEATURES OF CURE
Some Make New High Records
 < And Others Take Jump

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.--Industrial is- sues became the most prominent fea- lures of the curb market the past week, some of those issues making new high records on vigorous advances. and . shumber sold at the highest prices reHched in recent trading. These gains wefe offset by decline in other groups making the market irregular. Dubuier made new high record on an ad- vance of about points, following an ndnncement of requirements of it's out put for railway service and Radio com mhh also made a new high record
 Another feature of the weeks devel- 4pfhents was the appearance of the --&Nigh Valley coal issues, in which trailing started Friday The coal sock when issued then ranged from 33 to 1%saAd the rights to subscribe to the stock sold at S to 291a
 Motor stocks were heavy all throu~h thu week. Durant fell points and Stntz motor lost 2 points. Goodyear made a substantial gain.
 Although movements in Standard Oil issues were irregular. many stocks in that group were established at ma tefially higher levels during the wee< Standard Oil of Nebraska ranged frt m 2aS to 234. Prairie oil ranged from 255 o.2s3 and Standard oil of Ohio moved up from 312 to 3l9. Continental OI. on it's acquisition of Mutual Oi!, moved up from 451S to 4si4.

Stock Letters
KAHN BROS. & VIRGIN

NEW YORK, Jan, 19.-The action of the stock market during the week has not been out of line with current con ditions in business and politics. There is noticeable stacking up in demand for stocks which is no doubt due to un- certainty regarding the Mellon tax plan and to European conditions, but on the other hand there is no disposition to sell stocks by real holders, excepting, perhaps, where profits are attractive enough to warrant switch into sorae- thing else. Pan-Amertcans, of, course, were subjected to some drastic selling early in the week when the revolution ists stopped oil production in Mexico, but the officers of the company state that their enormous stored reserve Is kept for just such purposes, and that they hope to overcome all difficulties. The stock seemed to meet support just above 50, and has since gained trifle. Prices at the opening today were slight ly shaded, with the exception of some of the low-priced issues. There are great many of these stocks that have advanced from almost nothing to four or five dollars a share, and they. are at- tracting some outside following. Wheth- CT or not they are cheap remains to be seen. Medium priced oil stocks appear to be in favor, although Phillips Petro- leum sold off 1s50 on announcement of a new stock issue, the terms being one share of new stock at $50 for each four shares held. Sugar stocks were firm, and as this group is rather popular and in good shape, an upward move would not be surprising, as they have had quite a resting spell. The strong fea- lures of the day were General Electric, which sold at a new high at 204h, and Congas, which sold up to 64h. Cast Iron Pipe lost s. Associated oil gain ed almost onea dollar. General tone ir- regular. Total sales, 460,300 shares.
 Phillips Petroleum company is offer ing 296,1 ,106, shares of capital stock to stockholders of record February at $50 a share in the ratio of one share for each four shares now owned. In letter to stockholders, Frank Phil lips, president, says that it is advis- able to make this offer in order that the company may liquidate it's current indebtedness, including all bank loans, and in this way improve it's current position.
 The feature of the week was the steady Advance in price of Lehigh Val ley. This stock will sell ex-valuable company property rights on March 15.
 It is reported the Pacific oil com pany is to make an exchange of its shares for the outstanding stock of the Associated Oil company. Pacific oil owns 15 per cent of $60,0oo,OOO of com mon stock outstanding with par value of $26.-Fenner & Beane.
