STOCK LIST REACTS
IN TODAY'S TRADING
Afternoon Selling Takes
Prices to Low for Day.
SpeciaItieS Suffer Most.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January Reaction
sharp and as far as the industrials
were concerned, uniform, struck the
Stock Market today The opening was
lower all around. Then followed par
tial recovery, which, however, was not
held. In the afternoon the selling was
renewed and prices made their lows in
the second half of the session.
Motor and copper stocks were we'll
ton was too persistent for even them
to resist. Anaconda below lit was off
over 4 points on the day. Greene Can
anea slumped 8 points. General
Motors strong at noontime was down
nearly 5 points in the fourth hour.
The independents acted much the same
weakening when the rest of the list
turned downward.
AS Is generally the case the high
priced specialties suffered the most.
Radio at 365 was down almost Is points.
Columbia Graphophone. stock in
which there was evidently an over ex-
tended long interest, was heavily sold
Postum Co. dropped points. United
States Steel lost almost as much Mont
gomery-Ward dipped points.
Short Selling Heavy.
Short selling by bearishly inclined
professionals accelerated the decline.
Sentiment among this contingent was
all adverse to the market How much
of the liquidation came from outside
holders, it was difficult to say. Recent
experience has been that the so-called
public is slow to take alarm.
The rails we're not as active as the
industrials, but most of them we're
lower. The technical position in the
rails is much stronger than in the in
dustrials and the carrier stocks have
the advantage of increasing earnings
with expectation of larger dividends in
the case of one or two important roads.
Early selling was due to concern over
the credit situation. It was not that
there was any immediate prospect of
higher charges of day to day loans.
Normally at this season money becomes
easier and there is no reason to believe
that such will not be the case this year.
However, as Spring demands begin to
make themselves felt, interest rates will
harden and meanwhile there is a posi-
bility of an increase in the Federal Re-
serve rediScount rate.

Will Interest Juneau
 Politicians

Judge Lawrence D. GrOner, ir
 U. s. District Court at Richmond
 Virginia last June held the Vir-
 ginia primary law contrary to
 the 14th and 18th amendments to the federal constitution in that it recognizes and enforces the right of a political party to prescribe qualifications for bidden under the fifteenth amendment to the constitution of the United States" The de- ciSion held that the state must provide for equal right of suf- frage in the primary as we'll as in the general election. If this is maintained and pressed, it is likely to result in quite marked changes in other states.

Huge Plant Soon
 Be Ready

1 A large and important indus
 try will be added to the many ' on Coos Bay on October the first This is an announceemnt made
 by c. McC. Johnson of the Sitka
 Spruce Pulp and Paper Com
 pany, who is completing the new mill one mile west of Empire
 Oregon. The plant which has
 been under construction for sev- eral months, will employ 200 men, it was announced in discus sion of the opening.
 In connection with pulp mill there is a large sawmill, finish cd and put into operation about 3 month ago, preparing docks tor the shipping and material for the pulp making. Estimate of the outlay in construction of the two plants ran above $1 800 ,OOO
 About a dozen mills from the above capacity to three times it's size have been in course of construction and put into opera tiOn in both Oregon and Wash ington. All this development taking place several years after it was announced that pulp mills would be built in Alaska. The work in Alaska is still in the preliminary stage of investigat- ing timber, manufacturing sites and power sites. While this is in the same interests put up mills and get them in opera tion in Oregon, Washington and California. No wonder the Alas kan looks askance at the promis- as of coming pulp concerns.

Commercial Club Holds
 Informal Meeting

The local Chamber of Com merce met in the city hall We'd nesday and held a sort of in formal chat over future doingS of the organization. A commit tee was appointed to arrange with Mrs. Tate for a Club lunch to be served on meeting days.
 MT. Dinner advised that he had written Secretary of the Interi- or Wilbur calling attention to the fact that the divisional sup erintendent, MT. HaWkesworth had advised members that he mad recommended the NarroWs site for the proposed industrial school and had asked the local club as a favor to purchase the eite from the Mason family of Wrangell. That the Club had gone out of it's way to do this and secured other information and data requested by the Bu- reau of Education; that at no time had the Club been advised to discontinue it's efforts, nor had it been given opportunity to present such information in any other manner than by letter while the other site candidates were given every opportunity to show their best points. Such action being highly unfair to the local Club, which if it had purchased said site would have had property on it's hands not worth thirty cents to it.

Delegate Frank
 H. Foster, D.R.

During the past several weeks
 rumOrs of candidates for the
 office of delegate to Congress
 from Alaska, have been floating
 around. The latest and first giv-
 en to the press is that of Frank
 H. Foster, representative from Cordova who believes himself
 the political Moses delegated to lead the federalists out of the hands of the masses of Alaska.
 In recent interview given to
 the Seattle press MT. Foster declares that Delegate Suther-
 land will have a hard fight to secure reelection. Foster de- clares that he is ready to get in to the ring and has the support of a formidable backing in the First Division and his own sup port in the Valdez Division.
 Report emanating from Ju- neau and Ketchikan is to the eff feet that MT. John RuStgard is an active candidate for the same office. When here recently MT. RuStgard stated emphatically to the query of a local business man, that he was not a candi- date for the office. Report, how ever, still persists that he is building political fences with the view to securing the nomination aC the Republican primary in April.
 Reports of other filings for the same office indicate that the Re- will not have a dearth of would be delegates to select from.
 Democratic choice will be a limited one as there is complete harmony in their machine. The 'eports indicate a choice be- ;Ween Senator Dimond of the Western division and Repre- tentative A. H. Ziegler of Ket- 
 The choice as to candidate for his party will finally selected so hat not more than 300 votes will be necessary to nominate. The balance of the Democratic will be thrown into the Repub- ican primary to eliminate the least desireable to the 'ederal-demo-repub m achine. The nominee will then be hroWn to the political bow vows and a Democratic delegate sent to Congress. Thereby the dominating minority party will nave complete control of the political destinies of the Terri ,ory.
 Delegate Sutherland whose re- iirement was announced by the Alaska Weekly after the last election, advised that paper that any announcement of his retire ment would come from himself and not through friends" So ,ar MT. Sutherland has made no announcement and being some what early in the game his supporters have not pressed him 70 announce his plans.
 At this time political prog nosticatorS see but little hope in my candidacy that does not nave the support of the laboring of the Territory. This class of voters, along with many business men will xpress their preference on their ballot for no representative of the canning combine and it's political ally-the federal bu-
