STOCK CHATTER

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-(P1-The
reduction in stock prices which set
in Saturday was resumed when the
market opened today. Execution Of
a large batch of weekend selling or
ders brought about recessions Of a
point or so in Greene Cananea cop
per, General Electric and Thinker
Roller Bearing. Allied Chemical adj
yanced a point.
There was nothing in the news to
influence the selling movement,
which appeared 70 represent the
correction of a top-heavy s%peculat-
i've position. Uneasiness over the
rising volume Of brokers' loans and
the recent stiffening of time money
and acceptance rates had made 1t
difficult for pools TO attract a pub
lie following and temporarily slow
ed up the investment demand.
U. s. Cast Iron Pipe broke five
points within the first half hour and
Greene Cananea extended its loss
TO four points. Motor and accessory
issues continued to yield 70 selling
pressure with General Motors and
Hudson bearing the brunt Of the
initial attacks. Such q recent pool
favorites as Radio, International
Nickel, and Collins and Altman also
sold off readily. Rails yielded with
the industrials but the early losses
were held 70 4 point OF so.
Foreign exchanges opened steady,

Of news service between the various
countries, contending that what
happens in this hemisphere is OF
more vital interest 70 all Of us than
what happens across any Of the
oceans"
Mr.. Coolidge portrayed his inter-
est in the development Of shipping
between North and South America
and the construction Of railroads
and highways to serve as feeders.
He disclosed that he is asking the
United States congress for authori-
ty to send American. engineering
advisors to whatever Central and
South American nations requests
their services.
To Start Routes Soon
He predicted that air mail routes
will be established soon and told
the conference that the American
congress was considering support
ing such routes and that private
citizens of the United States were
considering their establishment.
"In the domain Of commercial re-
lations," the president added, the
last few years have witnessed an
extraordinary strengthening Of the
economic ties binding together our
republics. In both agricultural and
industrial production the countries
of America are now complementing
one another to an unusual degree.
resulting in an increasing exchange
of commodities"
Although he did not name the
Tacna-Arica boundary dispute, Mr..
Coolidge did point to the delicate
and difficult nature" Of boundary
problems and declared that the past
record of achievement in this re-
spect "places heavy responsibility
upon the present generation to ad-
vance the great work that has been
so au~spiciously begun"
Finally, President Coolidge com
mended TO the Congress a discussion
Of means to bring "all Of our people
more definitely and more complete
ly" under the reign Of law.
AFTER ALL" he said, lit is in that
direction that we must look with
the greatest assurance for human
progress. We can make no advance
in the realm Of economics, we can
do nothing for education, we car ac-
ccmplish but little even in the
sphere Of religion, until human af-
fairs are brought within the order
w rule Of law.

Should it cross into Mexico, it will

At all events, the Katy looms as
the next system that will endeavor
to penetrate the Lower Rio Grande
Valley.
Its first work will be to get "set'
for that entry so that it will be
ready when the time is ripe"
IN THE MEANTIME, the Missouri
Pacific has further extensions in

One of these seems to be n plan
to extend from Rio Grande City west
to Roma. And probably continue on
up the river to a connection with its
lire at Laredo.
Which would give Brownsville a
direct connection with Laredo.

in which not the selfish interests
of a few, but the general welfare of
all. will be considered"
Contending that the nations have
been charged with the sacred trust
Of establishing and expanding the
spirit OF democracy, the president
said that although false starts and
disappointing reactions will develop,
the American republics have placed
their confidence in the ultimate wis
dom Of the people.
Committed to Peace
ave are thoroughly committed to
the principle hat they are better
fitted TO govern themselves than
any one else is to govern them, he
said. "We do not claim immediate
perfection but we do expecte on
tinual progress. Our history reveals
that in such expectation we have
not been disappointed. 1t is better
for the people to make their own
mistakes than to have some one else
make their mistakes for them"
Attachment to the policy Of peace,
Mr.. Coolidge declared, was second
among the nations Of this hemis-
phere only TO the attachment TO the
principle Of self-government.
Their chief efforts have been
devoted to the arts Of peace" he
continued. They have never come
under the delusion Of military
grandeur. Nowhere among these re-
publics have great military estab-
lishments ever been maintained for
the purpose of o%verawing or subju-
eating other nations.
We have all nourished a com
mendable sentiment Of moderate
preparation for national defense,
believing that for a nation to be
unreasonably neglectful Of the mill
