EARLY PRICES BEST.
Much Saturday Profit Taking Noted
During Trading.
BY STUART p. WEST.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 1o.-The best
prices today on the stock exchange
were made in the first half of The
two-hour session. The market con-
tinued active throughout, but there
was considerable profit taking, which
brought about recessions in many OF
the leading industrial and railway
shares. Even while the upward ten
dency. was at its height, 1t was note
worthy that leaders like steel COM
mon and Baldwin Locomotive, which
had been bid up sharply earlier in
the week, lay quiet. New high
records were numerous but they were
made under orderly conditions and
there was nothing to compare with
the violent advances Of a week ago.
Among the rails the buying while
ft lasted was quite evenly distributed.
Stocks of the grade of New YORK
Central, Missouri Pacific preferred
Reading and Delaware and Hudson
were in demand, but most of the
gains were Cancelled before the ses-
sion was over. In some instances
prices ended below the Friday close.
Denver and Rio Grande Western pre-
ferred had another advance to new
top. Gulf Mobile and Northern pre-
ferred crossed par for the first time
InlS season. SC. bOulS-SdI T TdHClSCO
was actively sold below the so level.
Kresge Sells Above 500.
Toward the close attention shifted
largely into the industrials. Kresge
sold above 500, as against the previ-
Gus sale of 497. Stewart Warner at
tracted a speculative following, and
other members of the motor group
were higher. General Motors was a
leader, above IS, and Dupont went
along. Goodyear preferred was at a
new top.
Merchandising stocks, especially
Sears Roebuck, Associated Dry Goods
and r. H. Macy, the latter up several
points, were favorites. Montgomery
Ward was up around two points at
one time. Biscuit stocks gained
ground.
Among the railway equipments
American Locomotive was the leader
again, and Pacific Oil was conspicuous
among the oils.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, January 10.-Notwith-
standing that this was the calendar
date on which tradition favored the
selling side of the wheat market,
wheat prices today moved up brisk
ly during the early dealings. Pur-
chasing was most conspicuous on the
part of house which recently was a
largo seller. One OF the incentives
to buy was announcement that No.
2 red wheat, the ordinary contract
grade here, had reached S2.02h a
bushel at st. Louis, the highest price
there yet this season. Estimates
were also current that the European
bread grain crop is 100000 to 9.o00.-
900 tons less than the total year
ago. Opening prices, which varied
from unchanged figures to Il cent
off, May 1.7sb to 1.79 and July
1.531a, were followed by an upturn
which carried Ma yto 1904.
Corn and oats averaged a little
higher, sympathizing with wheat
After opening unchanged to II cent
down, May 1925 to 1924, the corn
market scored moderate gains.
Oats started unchanged to 4 cent
lower May 61% to 61A, but soon ad-
vanced.
In line with hogs, the provision
market held about steady.

HOUSING SHORTAGE
STEADILY REDUCED.
Most Tenants, However, Fail
to Reap Benefits by Reduc-

BY j. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Speclhl DlSpdtcD 10 1ne star.
NEW YORK, January 10 The
shortage of dwellings throughout the
United States has been steadily de-
creasing for the last six months, but
tenants in most instances have to dig
just as deep into the family ex
chequer as ever when rent day comes
around. The decline in need for busi-
ness structures has been even more
marked, but business men in only a
small percentage of the representa-
tive centers had had their rentals
lowered. In both cases the indication
Of increased business activity and
prosperity in the next six months
forecasts few changes downward.
A survey covering 259 cities shows
that at present only 81 per cent Of
these have housing shortages, while
the needs OF 40 per cent are fully
supplied. When the year opened,
however, 65 per cent of the repre-
sentative centers announced rents sta
tionary, II per cent showed advances
and Is per cent had reductions. The
fall in rents was most marked in the
North Central section of the country,
where SO per cent OF the cities have
lower rent levels. On the other hand.
81 per cent of the cities in the South

Single Dwellings, Demanded.
There is more demand for single
family dwellings at this time than
for any other class of structures, but
even those cities which report short
ages indicate that the undersupply
is slight. This fact indicates, how
ever, that in the next ~ months the
greatest increase in real estate ac-
tivity will be in properties of this
sort.
The larger cities are fast catching
up with the needs for dwellings, but
the smaller cities still are far from
reaching a normal ratio between de-
man and supply. 1t is an interesting
fact that scores of the smaller cities
indicate a lack of apartment houses
Even the suburban districts, which
formerly were composed of small
homes for the most part, now are
building apartments. This trend is
noticeable at Summer and Winter re-
sorts and in the sections within COM
muting distance of the larger cities
Overbuilding Noted.
In 27 cities there has been over
building of one type or another in
the last few months and it is easy
to overestimate the Importance OF
the present deficiency in other places
In only 26 per cent of the repre-
sentative cities is there a lack OF
business structures. In spite of tina;
tact business rents kave advanced
in 40 per cent of these are stationary
in AZ per cent, and have fallen. in
only per cent. The decreases have
been mostly in the South Central
part of the country, where land
lords dropped charges in Sc per cent
