New York Curb Opening
In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, Jan. 21.@On this
last session Of an interesting mar
ket week there are a few thoughts
that may be worth considering over
the weekend, even though they may
not be Immediately reflected in the
market-the significance Of an ad-
vance in the price Of steel products,
the significance in the advance Of
several issues, notably WeSting-
house electric. and the significance
OF the better reports from the auto
mobile industry. AS TO steel, an ad-
vance Of a dollar isn't much, but 1t
Is like the advance of q point In
your favorite stocl.. It must advance
one tpoint before it can reach five.
It is the treand that counts. The
advance nj Westinghouse electric is
significant, to this extent, that it
shows that there is ample buying
power here. Notwithstanding all the
doubt and all that has been said on
the subject Of money. In the mo-
tor industry progress is being made
by the leading companies and Ford
Is not yet a factor All in all, the,
picture looks better.

CHICAGO. Jan. 21.-Relief from
freezing winds and near-zerO
weather which swept the Middle
West the last forty-eight hours was
expected late today.
The cold virtually halted air mail
service, tied up traffic on highways,
interfered with railroad schedules,
and destroyed property where the
wind was at its height. The mer-
curry lowered between zero and
degrees above.
Firemen experienced considerable
trouble in stopping a blaze which
broke out in a Chicago grain ele-
vator. A high wind whipped the
flames. Water froze on wires, which
fell from the weight. So cold was
1t that the streets on which the
water used to fight the fire fell were
covered with ice before the blaze
WIS extinguished.
West-bound air mail lines suS-
pended service. st. Paul, Mime
apoliS and other cities north and
west reported similar trouble.
The weather bureau prediction
was warmer this afternoon and
steadily rising temperatures tomor-

"A systematic search for Miss

forty-two State troopers.
The State policemen, with eighteen
horses, were rushed here from Bos-

Decision to concentrate the search
in the immediate vicinity Of this
college town indicated that in
vestigators definitely had abandoned
the theory that Miss Smith,
daughter Of a wealthy New York
banker. was being held for ransom.
Ransom Idea ScOffed at
1t was learned yesterday that st.
John Smith, the girls father, had
received q ransom" letter, de-
manding $4,000 for the return Of
his daughter alive. The letter,
mailed from New York. impressed
the girls relatives and the detectives

no consideration.

State troopers would work in q
manner which would enable them
to cover every foot Of territory with

He favored the theory that the

might disclose her fate.
Miss Smith, a freshman at Smith

Philadelphia, Newark, Brooklyn and
smaller cities all turned in their
quota Of persons who had seen some
one resembling the missing student.
A reward Of $4,000 for informa-
ton of the girl has been offered by
st. John Smith, her father.
The latter has been placed in the
hands Of Federal authorities. but it

One of the main theories author
tiles are working on today is that
Miss Smith took her own life
through worry over low grades In
her scholastic work.
AS result, rivers and streams In
this vicinity have been dragged and
a special watch is kept on the Con-
necticut River.
Reports have been received that
an object resembling a wona1's
body had been seen floating In the
river. These reports never have
