today to decided skepticism expressed
in various quarters about likelihood
of any severe damage having been done
to domestic Winter wheat this season.
One Chicago authority said in this
connection that 1924 produced the
largest wheat crop on record up to
that time, although the Winter was
very cold. Moreover, the Winter of
1918-19 was the coolest in so years,
but the wheat crop that time was also
of record-breaking volume.
Despite indications that extreme
wintry conditions have led to material
enlargement of farm use of corn, the
corn market today sympathized with

NEW YORK, January 29.-The cot
ton market opened steady today at an
advance of points to decline Of 2
points. Some overnight buying orders
around the ring were supplied by
liquidations.
Southern and local liquidation was
promoted by the relatively easy show
ing of the later Liverpool cables. Old
crop positions, which were relatively
steady at the opening, reacted to about
yesterdays closing quotations; the new
crop sold off a few points right after
the CALL The offerings were sufficiently
we'll taken to give the market steady
undertone, however, and trading was
quiet, with prices about net unchanged
to points lower at the end of the first
half hour
Private cables said that trade calling
and continental buying had been sup
piled by liquidation in Liverpool and
that the demand for cotton cloths from
India was poor, with China trade less
active.

SPECULATIVE CURB
ISSUES IRREGULAR
Utility Stocks Are Active.
Speciality Favorites Show
Moderate Gains.
BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN.

NEW YORK, January 29-Prices
moved irregularly on the Curb Exchange
today Trading continued active, but
there was noticeable reluctance on the
part of the speculative element to come
in on the buying side with the reckless
abandon which accompanied operations
q week and two weeks ago.
Because of yesterdays spectacular de-
velopments in the public utility group.
this class OF stocks was watched with
keep interest. The sensational Electric
Bond & Share securities, which record
ed net gain of 81 points yesterday,
opened on block of $500 shares at
249l2. compared with the previous final
of 257l2. Later it rallied to above the
$50 level but subsequently dropped back
around 245.
United Gas Co gained more than 2
points to new high, Duke Power and
American Light 6, Traction continued
in demand while Electric Investors felt
the effect of heavy profit taking which
carried the price down sharply.
The oils were generally inclined toward
lower levels. influenced by reports of
production in the industry. Vac
uum Oil resisted the selling but was
one of the few exceptions. Standard Of
Indiana was freely offered at declining
prices.
Elsewhere interest centered in num-
Der of speciality favorites. Checker Cab
Manufacturing, up more than points,
was responding to the highly favorable
earnings for 1923 made public today.
Special buying made its appearance in
General Bronze, while General Electric,
Ltd, receipts were heavily dealt in at
improved prices. Anchor Post Fence,
at 1912, held its recent gain and was
in better demand following estimates
that sales for January indicated a 100
per cent improvement over the month
year ago.
Aircraft issues were featured by
higher prices for -Bement-Po
and Universal Aviation, although others
OF the group were under more or less
pressure.

FARM PROSPECTS
FOR 1929 VIEWED
Agriculture Department Urges Ad-
justment of Output to Main
tain Income.

Farmers should avoid increasing pro-
duction of those products which are
no. in ample supply and continue their
efforts to adjust production, if they are
to maintain the present level of gross
income of agriculture, the annual agri-
cultural outlook report issued by the
Department of Agriculture declares.
The report says some expansion In
beef cattle may be warranted. but eau
tions farmers against too rapid expan-
sion of sheep. dairy, cattle, hogs and
fruits. Some reduction IS recommended
for potatoes and feed crops. Domestic
demand for farm products is expected
to be maintained during the early part
of this year. with foreign demand con-
tinuing about the same as during 1928.
Higher interest rates affecting farm
ers in some sections of the country may
result in less favorable agricultural
credit situation. but little change IL sx-
pected in prices of farm machinery. te,--
tilizers and building materials. Farm
wages are expected to be slightly lower
at harvest time, according to the report.
This outlook report Is made from a
national viewpoint and the conclusions
must be considered in relation to local
conditions in many cases. Representa-
tives Of As States assisted In the prepa-
ration of the national report.
