PUBLIC UTILITIES MUCH IN DEMAND
Entire Market Today Resumes Its UpVad Trend

New York. Jan. a1 R-Heavy buying of the public utilities, several of which attained record high prices, featured the resumption of the up- ward movement of prices in todays Stock Market. The recovery was stimulated by the reduction in the call money rate from to 4A per cent and predictions of further de- crease before the end of the week. Trading showed a moderate contrac- tion in volume due to the disinclina- ton Of many traders to extend their commitments because of the wide spread uneasiness over the credit situation.
 Earnings and merger reports ap- parently furnished the background for the rise in the public utilities. Montana Power. Brooklyn Union Gas and Peoples Gas all moved up 5 points or more while Radio, Phila- delphia Co.,, Columbia Gas. Interna- tional Telephone. Adams Express and . number of others advanced ? to points.
 General Motors and '. s. Steel common. which had been tagging behind the general list for the last few days. regarded their position as market leaders in the early after noon. The rise in these issues un- Ndoubtedly stimulated buying in other quarters although selling in- spired by fears of . disappointing showing in the quarterly report or the U. g. Steel Corporation to be made public after the close, un- doubtedly regarded the advance. 4 renewal rate of per cent for call loans did not present any terrors for the trading fraternity who were lacking up prices here and there in wholesale fashion, as it was con- sldered only possible temporary pinch i'll consequence of the prepar- ations for the month.end financing. The rise in the public utilities far outstripped other groups but buoy ancy was also manifested by some of the railroad equipments. Copper and rubber shares. Texas ,s Pacific jumped ( points to IT. $ record price.

 UNABLE TO APPEAR
Taapt Dome Inquiry Today Not
 So Important

Washington. Jan. 31 R-Two of its headline witnesses. Beman C.. DaweA brother of the vice-president. and Robert w. Stewart chairman of the board of the Standard Oil com- pany of Indiana. were unable to ap- pear today at the new Teapot Dome hearings before a senate committee, and the committee was obliged to proceed with testimony of lesser known men.
 MT. Dawes was reported to the committee as being i'll, while MT. Stewart. it was said, had found it necessary to go first to his Chicago office on his arrival from Havana, where he was subpoenaed.
 Tho committee is investigating the profits of the Continental Trading company. Ltd, of Canada, which fig ured in tho Teapot Dome lease of Harry F. Sinclair, and what went with them. J. D. Clark. of Denver. preddent of the Midwest Refining company, the first witness, testified that Henry M. Blackmer, former chairman of the board of the Mid- west company, who went to Europe after the oil scandal broke in 1924, still is a director of that company.
 'When did you last see him? 7" asked Senator Walsh, democrat. Montana, prosecutor for the lands committee.
 ''I saw him last June in Paris Clark replied, explaining that he had gone abroad, not at Blackmer's invitation, but on general business.
 Replying to further inquiries, Clark said the Midwest company was owned by the Standard Oil com- pany of Indiana through a stock purchase.
 Have you ever heard of this man Osler?" Walsh inquired, referring to II. s. Osler of Toronto, formerly president of the extinct Continental company, Ltd.
 Clark disclosed that Osler was a voting trustee of the Midwest com- pany up to 1922 when the voting trust expired.
 At Walsh's request Clark pro- duced correspondence passing be- tween Blackmer and Stewart in Oc- tober, 1921. showing that Blackme, was seeking to interest Stewart ir the purchase of oil from the Mexia Texas. field of the late A. F.. Hum phrey of Denver. The Continental agreed to purchase this oil later and Stewart. James E. O'Neil. now abroad. Blackmer, and Sinclair guaranteed the contract. From this deal, 1t is contended, the Continen. tai made big profits. some of which finally found their way to Albert B Tall. former secretary of the inter for.
 Clark said he could not give thu significance of the correspondence because he did not like to deal 1T assumptions" The Montana sena tor then read telegrams passing be tween Stewart and Blackmer fl December. 1921, with reference tt tho purchase of the stocks of Hum phreys Mexia Oil Co.
