NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-(P)-The stock
market today failed to give indications
of a definite trend, an early period of
heaviness being followed by brisk
recovery which left closing quotations
irregular. Recent selling apparently
cal position as a firmer undertone was
evident as the market closed. Trad
ing was again largely professional,
although steady investment demand
continued the seasoned dividend pay
ing issues.
Money rates softened further Call
loans opened at per cent, the lowest
renewal rate since last fall, and time
money was quoted on flat Az per
cent basis, instead of 41a to AS. Ru-
mors were again current of an early
decrease in the New York federal re-
serve bank discount rate, but directors
of the Boston institution meeting to-
day announced no change in the 4
per cent charge. Easy money is wide

factor in the market.

But a further softening was noted
in pig iron and steel prices. Brad

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Jan. 12.-(P)-Decided up
turn in wheat today resulted largely
from scantiness of Chicago stocks and
from buying for big traders short of
supplies to fill future contracts Wheat
closed unsettled, 119 to 2 cents net
higher, corn 9s to M cent up, oats at
4 cent decline to 3s cent advance,
and provisions unchanged to 80 cents
off
Contributing to the buying move
pendent strength of rye, with export
business today in rye estimated to
total 45O,0 bushels. Meanwhile, pre-
dictions were current that less than
100000 bushels of wheat would be on
hand here for settlement of contracts
at the end of May. According to trade
gossip, Chicago cannot draw wheat
from any source until the market here
shows much greater premium than
lat present over other domestic centers.
Even then, the amount likely to be
forwarded to Chicago is small, it is
contended southwest wheat in particu-
lar, because of superior quality being
well cleaned up. Above $1.40 for May,
today was resumed and the market
tone at the finish was nervous Pri-
mary stocks were showing a little in
crease and reports were circulated that
the movement of wheat from Argen-
tina may expand with a rush, farmers
in that country being under financial
necessity of marketing their grain
quickly On the other hand, if Ar
gentina and Australia ship during the
next eight weeks at the average rate
of the last five years, the apparent
outlook is that the southern hemi-
sphere will only supply about half the
European demand.
Corn and oats were governed mostly
by the action of wheat and rye. Colder
weather was forecast for the main
corn belt, preceded by snow over a
wide area.
Provisions were easier on account of
a sag in hog values.

GRAND CANYON
REPORTED BAD

GRAN CANYON, Jan. 12.-Travet
to Grand canyon national park for
the month of December totalled 1929
visitors, it was stated by ]. X.
Eakin, superintendent, here today.
hiss is an increase over the same
month last year of 210. Considering
weather conditions ii IS remarkable
that there was any increase at all.
After run of $40 consecutive
entry days, a motorist failed to reg
iser on December "a. Considering
the fct that roads have not been
generally improved, this is rather
remarkable record
Weather records show the total
snowfall on the south rim amounted
to "a inches This is double the nor
NAL amount for the month"; How
ever warm, clear weather has re-
6uced the amount on the ground to
six inches at the end of the month.
Approach roads are in had shape
at present The melting snow has
caused them to become very soft ana
muddy. The only passable route is
the williams road and this should
be attempted only in the early morn
ing. AS a general rule motorists are
advised not to attempt the trip into
the canyon at present. 1t should be
remembered that conditions on the
National Old Trails highway do not
prevail on canyon approaches. The
Former is a modern improved high
way, While the latter are not.
The only rim trip open in the
park at present is the Hermit Rim
drive Being paved this road is kept
open the entire year. Visitors arrsv-
ing by train or motor can avail
themselves of the fine canyon views
along this great scenic road.

j. 5. DID DUTY
ON VET LOANS,
SAYS MELLON

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-(R-Secre-
in response to a resolution of inquiry,
that the federal reserve board had
fully executed the provisions OF the
adjusted compensation act involving
bank loans on veterans certificates,
but Senator Copeland, democrat, New
York, author of the resolution, told
his colleagues the boards action was,
in his view, Inadequate
The report precipitated debate i'm
which the bonus law was vigorously
denounced from the democratic side
Senator Copeland said new legislation
touching on loans should have been
enacted at the present session unless
the veterans were to fall back on
the kindness of local banks" Senator
Bratton, New Mexico, expressed the
view that the cumbersome machinery
set up by existing law for handling
the loans was nothing short of a
crime"
Secretary Mellon told the senate
that the reserve board of which he is
an ex-officio member, had advised all
member banks on December 9 of the
loan provisions of the law, which were
to become effective the first of the
year, and that forms and regulations
had been sent to each bank.
The only authority the board had
he said, was to authorize the federal
reserve banks to- accept the loan GER
tificates as. rediscount collateral.
Secretary, Mellon transmitted with
his report copies of all regulations
affecting loans, both from the treas
ury department, the federal reserve
board and the veterans bureau.
"The federal reserve board has thus
done everything in it's power to ia
cilitate the carrying into effect of
section 5O2 of the World war adjusted
compensation act" he said, land in
doing so it has acted in the closest
cooperation with the veterans bureau.
