Just how much the new Congress

There are those among the Demo-
Gratis who insist that cut OF from
$400,000,000 to $500,000,000 can be
made without imparing the opera

COPPER Is CHECKED;
LOW PRICE SEEN AS
BUSINESS INDICATOR


NEW YORK, Jan. S-(P) The steel
market, the New Year quiet and the
volume of business showed no mate
rial Improvements The outlook, how
ever, was considered favorable as the
potential demand was believed to be
satisfactory The railroads were said
to be in need of supplies and the au-
tomobile show was expected to result
in some increase in automobile pro-
duction. Prices held steady. Pig iron
was quiet and steady, with sufficient
inquiry to assure future business.
The declining tendency of the copper
market was apparently checked by the
development of increased buying in
terest at about 1875 cents for electro
lytic delivered at Connecticut valley
points and the tone was steadier to-
ward the end of the week. Several
large consumers were said to be test
ing the market and the volume of in
quiries brought in by the new low
prices was considered as an indication
of considerable copper still to be
bought for February and March ship
ment.
These features encouraged firmer
attitude and some producers were ask
ing 1874 cents at the end of the week,
although metal was reported still
available at the 1873 cents level.

NEW YORK, Jan s. R) = Estab-

in Is years in the bond market was
the outstanding feature of this week s
financial markets. Movements in the
stock market were rather colorIess,
the average of 20 leading industrials
showing a gain of only one Tooth of

railroad average gained nine 1OOths

Importance likewise took place in the
commodity markets.
The rise in bonds reflected the huge
Investment demand which Invariably
follows the distribution Of year-end
dividend and interest payments.
One of the most interesting devel-
opments of the week from a business
standpoint was the opening of the new
transatlantic telephone service which
stimulated demand for the common
stock of the American Telephone &,
Telegraph company, sending it above
155 a share to the highest level in
