a new record high at 160%, apparent
ly at the expense of an overcroWded
short interest. Park Utah was heavily
traded in and touched q new high at
12A, but ether coppers moved within
narrow and irregular limits.
Prcfit- taking caused some irregular
ity among the railroad equipments, re-
cent buying of which has been influ-
ences by the placing of orders for
about $4,000 freight cars IN the last
two months. A jump of nearly 6
points in American Woolen preferred,
a third of which was lost attracted
widespread attention. Urgent buying
also took place in American Interna-
tional Corporation, Beechnut Packing,
Coty, Eureka Vacuum, Kraft Cheese,
Montgomery Ward, Murray Corpora
ton, National Biscuit, Otis Elevator,
Purity Baking B, Real Silk Hosiery and
the Fair, all up to points and most
of them at their highest prices in a
year or longer.
Except for a renewal of selling pres
sure against Pathe A, which sank to
the lowest price on record at 1875, and
IS point break in Universal Pipe pre-
ferred, there were no outstanding weak
spots Declines of point or so were
quite numerous.
Rails were under adverse influence
of poor November earnings and De-
cember traffic reports, although St
Paul issues and ST. Louis Southwest
ern preferred reached new high ground
and a brisk demand was apparent fol
Texas and Pacific and some eastern
coalers.
Time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged.
A rally of Is points in Spanish
pesetas to around IT'S cents was the
only change of consequence in the for
eign exchange market with buying
based in anticipation of some an
nouncement regarding stabilization
Sterling cables were easier around

lower and provisions unchanged TO 12c

Indications of good export demand
for wheat from North America were
much in evidence today, especially
wheat in position for prompt ship
ment. About 100000 bushels of North
American wheat was taken to be ship
ped to Europe and it was stated that
nearly all available wheat for such
use had been advanced to rail cost
basis. Another strengthening factor
was decided falling off in world ship
ments, together with announcement OF
2,O44,0O0 bushels decrease of the
United States wheat visible supply
Further unfavorable reports were re-
lceived about lack of snow protection
for domestic winter wheat. Word that
Argentine wheat shippers were asking
higher prices today tended further to
stimulate buying here and among pur-
chaSers of future deliveries were trans
Atlantic interests and houses with
northwest connections Reports wide
ly circulated were to the effect that
European consumers had become in
clined more than of late to follow
market upturns especially so millers in
Great Britain who had been unsuc-
cessfulIy awaiting break in world
prices owing to favorable Argentine
harvest news.
In the corn market 100000 bushels
enlargement of the visible stock proved
to be more than counter-balanc fol
excellent cash demand. Cash corn was
u @2c higher compared with May and
offerings from the country. were eX-
tremely small. Oats followed corn.

NEW YORK, JAN 3 (P)--Wall street
ushered in the beginning of the new
year on the New York stock exchange
today with an irregularly higher price
movement. Buying orders were distri-
buted over fairly broad list, but CEN
tered largely in selected group of
rubber, copper, motor and merchandis-
ing issues. Despite the absence of
many traders on extended weekend
visits, trading was in fairly heavy
volume.
Marking up of the call money re-
newal rate to 51a. per cent, following
a sharp deficit in reserve in Satur-
days clearing house statement, prob
ably had a tendency to restrict specu-
lative operations. Banks called be-
tween $2O,O00,0O0 and $25,000,000 in
loans but funds poured in freely from
the interior, and ample credit facilities
were available. An easier money mar
ket is expected when the January
checks are cleared.
Heavy buying of the rubber stocks
was based on improving trade condi-
tiops, and unconfirmed merger rumorS
Goodrich, Goodyear and U. S. Rubber
all ran up 8 12 to AZ points while AJAX,
the most active of the group, climbed
a point to a new peak. In the motor
group, Hudson ran nearly 3 points and
Packard and Page-Detroit reached new
high ground; but most others were
rather sluggish. General Motors clos
ed fractionally lower at 1874.
Greene Cananea was again the
spectacular performer in the copper
group, soaring more than 9 points to
100000; load choice heavy cows
1880; medium bulls 700-750 good to
choice vealers 12OO-12.5O; choice light
weight stockers 11.50.

What Doctors Think
-'.' of the
Laxative Habit

What do YOU do when the bowels
need a little assistance? If you
clear-up the condition with some
laxative made with CASCARA,
there is nothing better for the
system-for the blood.
But If you don't KNOW the
laxative you have learned to de-
pend on is of harmless cascara,
here's some truly valuable advice:
The bark of a tree called cas-
cara Is the most marvellous con-
ditioner mankind has yet found
It stimulates the bowers muscular
action, but does NOT weaken. A
violent laxative forms the laxa-
tive HABIT. You always need
more on the morrow. With cas-
cara, you don't. It's gentle in
f1uence carries on sometimes for

any aid, as time goes on.

GAS INTANG|bLES
Peoples Counsel Foresees
Many Items Will Be Stricken
From Valuation.

Predicting that "a great many items
named by persons representing the
Washington Gas Light Co., pertaining
to so-caIled intangible valuations will
not be included in the valuation placed
by the Public Utilities Commission on
the company's property" Ralph B: F!e-
harty, peoples counsel in public utilities
matters. declared last night that hc
will do all in his power to eliminate
indefinite intangible valuations.
The statements we're made at meet
ing of the Columbia Heights Citizens
Association, meeting in the Columbia
Heights Christian Church, after 1t had
adopted a resolution requesting Mr
Fleharty "to do all IN his power to pre-
vent an increase in gas rates" The
motion was adopted after a member o.
the association had expressed the fear
that increased gas rates would follow the
increased valuations of the company's
property made by its representatives.
Mr.. Fleharty spoke in general favor
of a merger of street railways in the
District declaring that the prospects
of an increased fare with it would be
less than without and that greater
transportation efficiency would result
with the merger
Stating that his friends have tolt
him that he does not have enough worf
to do, Mr.. F1eharty said that some
times this Is almost true" because the
people of the District do not make their
desires in certain public utility matters
known. ION the other hand" he SAID
"some people think the peoples counsel
should represent them in all matters"
adding that he had requests from per-
sons to represent them in Police Court.

An address also was delivered by DR..
George c. Havenner, newly elected
president Of the Federation Of Citi-
zens'' Associations, who spoke on Or
ganized Citizenship" and urged that

requesting that certain streets in the

a special school for crippled children
