OFF AND 0N IS WAY STOCKS GO
Alternate Strength and Weak
 ness Today

By the Associated Press.
 New York, Jan. 1l-.Alternate periods of weakness and strength characterized today's stock market as control of the price movement shifted from "bulp' to bear" traders. Trading was rather light in volume. with no indications of any widespread public participation. Lowering of the call money rate from IA to per cent. combined with the fact that enormous sums of money were still seeking invest ment. aided the campaign of specu- ators for the advance.
 A brisk demand for the eastern railroad shares, apparently based on the expectations of increased coal shipments as a result of the colder weather, featured the early afternoon dealings, and checked the selling movement which started in the motor shares. Mack Truck, however. showed independent strength.
 Erratic fluctuations took place in Commercial Solvents B, which sold down over points to 243 in the early trading and then snapped back to 25S, record high for all time. Recent buying of this issue has been associated with talk of a stock split-up and "open market" purchases by other large chemical interests, presumably the DuPonts, but these lack confirmation. Allied Chemical and DuPont sold down points, and heaviness also developed in L. S. Steel common, Baldwin, General Motors and other recent leaders.
 An unusually brisk demand de- veloped for several of the oil shares in which special developments are believed to be pending Barnsdall A was again taken in large blocks at advancing prices.

 Report Not Completed
 The report made by Caleb N. Sa- vile, manager and chief engineer of the Hartford water department. who was the governors representative at the various legislative hearings in Massachusetts, is not completed. the governor said. although it shows that Connecticut's interests will be affected by the project. The Massa- chusetts legislature last year au- thorized the expenditure If Si5.o00,- coo to tap the Ware river ari last week filed the s5o,0Oo.ooo bill to take the waters of the Swift river as means of additional waier supply for the metropolitan Boston area. The general plan is to divert into the Wachusett river the waters of the Swift river and of Beavarbrook. tributary of the Ware by means of an extension to the Swif. river, of the aqueduct or tunnel between the Wachusetts reservoir and the Ware river at or near Colehrook. There will be temporary diversion dam on the Swift river.
 Connecticut industries are show ing open opposition to tho diva sion of the waters from the Connecticut river. The Ware and Swift. rivers flow into the Chicopee which in turn flows into the Connecticut river. In freshet season the water ard ice come from Massachusetts and give the Connecticut river in this part Of the state an annual scrubbiuS. They also increase the volume of water.
 One corporation. especially. eX- poets to participate actively in the opposition of this stare to the project and the Northern Connecticut Power company which sells water power to all the mills and factories in Windsor Locks and nearby places. Walter P. Schwaz president of the company is deeply interested in what the state intends to do, in view of a S5.000.00o electric power project the company intends to effect soon. Mir. Schwaz has written a protest to the joint committee on water supply and on Metropolitan affairs of the Massachusetts general court. stating that it owns valuable prop ertv along the Connecticut river and protesting against any logisla- ton divcrting the flow of this stream.
 The company had q legal repre- sentative at the legislative sessions, but at present it contemplates no di- rect action because of Governor Trumbull's determination 10 protect this states interests.

STICK WITHDRAWS
 BR00kHART CASE
Senator-EleCt From Iowa Is
 EyOnerated

Washington, Jan. II Pl-Chargcs S that Senator-elect Smith W. Brook hart of Iowa was paid lobbyist" for Cyrus E. Woods, nominated to the interstate commerce commission were withdrawn today by Senator Steck, democrat, Iowa.
 Senator Stocks withdrawal was made before the senate interstate commerce committee which is con- sidering the nomination of Woods. The Iowan said he had heard rumors that Brookhart favored Woods con- iirmation and added:
 The persons from whom l heard the rumors have declined to permit me to divulge their names. In view of these facts and in fairness to Mir. Woods and Mr. Brookhart l wish to state that 1 have no evidence of any connection whatsoever between them, and I withdraw any intimation that MT. Brookhart was in the pay of Mir. Woods.
 T thought it fair and right to submit these matters to the senate but should this committee determine that MT. Brookhart is not violating he rules and ethics of the senate, I shall be gratitied and happy"
 The closing was irregular. Brisk buying of Wheeling and Lake Erie shares in connection with merger rumors caused purchases of other low priced rail issues including New Haven, Western Maryland, Gulf. Mo- bile and Northern and Erie. Among the dividend paying rails Chesa- peake and Ohio, Southern Pacific, Pore Marquette and Lehigh Valley were in demand. Various indus trials, however. were sold under cover of the strength shown by stan dard railroads. Total sales approx imated 1,3o0,oO0 shares
 Brookhart said this statement was satisfactory as far as it went. but inquired if the withdrawal also ap- piled to the statement that he was a paid lobbyist for farm organiza- tions.
 This whole thing has been matched as an underhanded political scheme,' Brookhart shouted. This withdrawal does not satisfy me"
 T am not trying to satisfy the stnator," retorted Senator Steck. I'm trying to satisfy the committee and my own conscience"
 Are you here in any sense as a paid representative of MT. Woods?" asked Chairman Watson of Brook hart.
 T am not" the senator-elect re- piled.
 Are you here in any sense as q paid lobbyist for farm organiza- tions?"
 T am not"
