BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 49,
Pessimists regarding business
conditions, who have maintained
that the falling off since the begin
ming of the year has been more than
seasonal, were refuted by the car
loading statistics for the week ended
Jan. 8. These showed an increase
not only over the preceding week,
but also over the corresponding
period last year.
This evidence of sustained char
acter of trade activity caused
some short covering at the opening
u0f the stock market today, and the
Industrial leaders scored fractional
'fecoveries.
With the market acting better in
the late morning speculation arose
regarding the possibility of an early
reduction of the local bank rate.
Predictions were heard that the de-
crease shown in the Federal Re-
serve statement for the week ended
Jan. IL, would be followed by fur
ther credit curtaiIment in the re-
port as of Jan. 10. Credit authori-
ties We're also lookin for pro-
longed period of per cent call
money.
A cheerful feeling regarding the
money situation found reflection in
buying movement in seasoned
dividend rails. New York Central
was the outstanding feature, mount
ing to new high on the current
movemen at 144A, up rs from the
previous close. This strength gave
rise to talk Of a stock dividend, but
it is considered more likely that
any bonus to Central stockholders
would come in the form of rights to
subscribe to new stock at par,
which would be attractive in view
of the current selling levels.

Coal Industry

Announcements that some of the
large coal mines are closing down or
are preparing to close down while
some of the big coal distributors do
not expect a satisfactory year, calls
renewed attention to the unsatisfac-
tory state of the coal industry. To
some extent the troubles of the coal
distributors as we'll as the producers
are due to the much wider uses of
oil as an Industrial and heating fuel.
Other basic industries show little
change from conditions prevailing
at the end of the year. Steel is
about holding it's own, while the
building lines show steady shrink
age.

A StandOR

Technical conditions in the stock
market are about a standoff. The
professional element dominates the
situation SO entirely that it is hard
to figure the probable effects of any
given set of circumstances. Money
conditions still favor the long side
of the market, as there has been no
diminution of the tremendous buying
power which has served as the back
bone of the bond market for the past
several months.

RAIL STEAD|NESS

Awaiting More Definite Data
Seems to Be IncIina-
ton.
BY +. Walter MOclxler

NEW YORK, Jan. 19.-With Bald
win and other industrials under Sc
we're pressure, the comparative stead
mess of the rails failed to hold the
general market in line. Baldwin lost
more than four points on selling gen.
orally accepted as further pool liqui-
dation. Sentiment in the market is
far from cheerful, although it would
be hard to call it downright bearish.
In general the prevailing tendency
seems to be an inclination to wait
for more definite data concerning the
actual state of affairs this year.
Reports for 1926 which are still
coming in, bear eloquent testimony
to the good volume of business done
last year. However this is water
which has flowed over the dam so
far as the stock market is concerned.
At that, the reports from the motor
field for the end of the year are none
too encouraging and the Street is in
clined to look for a dismal report by
Hudson toward the end of the

Many Minnesota towns had municipal cleo

we've often used it ourselves in writing a
story of Redwood Falls election with a vote
just about one-third of normal. In fact we've
used it for elections and in commenting on at
tendance at Armistice Day programs until the
poor old reason is just about threadbare. We
wish some of our brilliant contemporaries would
think up a new one.
