In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-No less
authority than the monthly publ
cation of the National Bank OF
Commerce says, "Creditwise the
country is in position midway be-
tween the fundamental ease of 1924
and the extreme stringency of 1920,
and a period of firner rates is at
hand unless conditions should de-
velop resulting in a new movement
of gold toward the United States. :"
On the other side, where they are
watching gold movements very
closely, two opinions are cabled,
which are published this morning,
one believing that eXportS Of gold
from the United States are at an
end, and the other that they will
continue. That's something like
our own opinions here-that the
market will go up and the market
will go down. We emphasize this
subject because our whole market
structure is going to be affected by
the case or the Stringency of money.
OF course, even when money is
very tight there are some who are
able to go on and buy enough Of
one stock or another to attract. at
tention, but these are not always
permanent investments, more like
companionate marriages, won't last.
We believe that we will have a SUBJ
stantial setback before we have an
other broad, rising market.

Good OUTLOOK
PREDICTED FOR
1928 FARMERS
Department of Agriculture
Sees Favorable Condi-
lions Ahead.
BIZ United Press

BH UnttcG Press
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Farm-
ers may expect a fairly good year in
1928, the Agriculture Department
predicted today.
General improvement in the agri-
culture situation was forecast, pro-
viding farmers avoid sensational ex-
pansion and continue to balance
production with demand.
The Government 1923 Agriculture
Outlook" said farmers may antic-
ipate domestic market this year
equal to that of 1927 with pos
SiHlity of some improvement.
Foreign demand, however, will be no
better this year than last, it was
stated.
Farm labor will be plentiful this
year, the department continues.
Farm wages and prices OF farm ma
chinery are not likely to change,
and building materials will be lower,
it was stated.
Credit Looks Better
1.-THE agriculture credit situation
i'll most sections is somewhat I'M
proved over year ago" the Outlook
said.
Cotton growers, when they begin
to market the 1928 crop, will meet
the relatively favorable condition Of
a smaller carry-over than last year,
and a demand situation about the
same as for the 1927 crop. Danger
OF damage from boil weeYil still
exists in spite Of the extremely low
temperatures in January and still
looms as material factor in determ-
lining yield per acre."
The world wheat crop this year
will probably again be larger and
unless there is a heavy winter kill
ing in hard wheat areas any mate
rial increase in acreage in the
United States will tend to increase
the world supply and probably re-
duce returns to growers, the Out
look warned.
Corn Normal
Farmers will make only SLIGHT
changes in corn acreage this year,
the department said. 1t pointed out
that with average yields a normal
corn crop will be produced and
prices will be slightly higher than
last years.
Other points in the outlook in
Guided:
Flax acreage can be expanded
profitably.
Reduce rice acreage.
The 1923 hay crop will exceed nor
NAL livestock requirements.
Market supplies of beef cattle will
be smaller this year than last by 6
to 10 per cent.
Hogs Likely Stronger
Light wool stocks indicate favors-
bic outlook for wool growers.
Dairy industry is in strong posi-
ton.
Further decrease in number of
mules and horses for work indicated.
resulting eventually in higher prices
for these animals.
Poultry producers have prospects
for higher price levels.
Prices of feed by-products prob
ably will be higher; hay lower.
Potato growers indicate expanding
acreage, which probably will result
in lower prices.
Reduction in sweet potatoes, cab
bage and onion acreage needed.
Tobacco outlook does not justify
material changes in acreage.
Outlook is for sugar points to con-
tinue large world production with
prices at about same level as now.

SEEK TAX MANDATE
Claimants File Suit for
$4,807 in Refund.

Suit was filed in Circuit Court to-
Cay by eleven township taxpayers
to mandate County Auditor Harry
Dunn to pay horizontal tax refund
claims amounting to $4.8O7. The
suit was brought after formal claim
was made on Dunn by William Bos-
son, attorney representing the
claimants.
Dunn refused because they are
no funds available since the county
council sliced appropriations from
the annual budget in September.
The suit alleges that county COM
miSSioners authorized payment of
these rebate claims last April. Ac-
cording to Dunn, this was done SO
test cases could be brought in
county courts.
Bosom, however, averred that
since the claims were allowed they
should be paid on demand.
The State Supreme Court last
year held the horizontal tax in
crease of 1919, 1920 and 1921 were
illegal.

Describing the market, the Wall

said today:
Consideration of financial condi-
Hions over the weekend converged
almost entirely on the credit policy
of the Federal Reserve Bank. 1t was
gnerally agreed that the rediscount
increases at Chicago and Richmond
presaged tighter money conditions
here even if they did not prove to
be forerunners of an advance in the
local bank rate.
Many Traders Out
Money traders decided to retire
from the market until the outcome
of the present situation might be
determined. AS the result the main
body of stocks was forced to absorb
heavy selling in the early dealings"
Further heavy selling broke out
in the early forenoon. Professionals
were agressively bearish and opera
lions for the decline were pushed
with increasing confidence. Inter
ests working for lower prices stressed
the unfavorable earnings statements
for last year by various corporations,
firmer money rates and continued
liquidation of Government securities
by Federal Reserve banks.
