Trading Activity Says.

Common industrial stock trading fell
OF about Is per cent last week. The
average daily turnover of $248, 100000
showed 50-million- dollar slump from
the previous weeks level of $298, 900. 000
Lessened activity, notably in coppers,
motors, stores, oils, foods and .miscel-
laneous stocks, more than outweighed
gains in steels and auto accessories. All
stocks activity fell to 1898, 100000 from
$347 100000 per day.
Coppers turnovers sagged to 500, TOO. 600
from $34, 100000 per day owing to wan
ing interest in Anaconda, Kennecott and
Greene Cananea Copper, while motors
fell off to $36,300000 from $50,300,000
through fewer exchanges of General
Motors and Chrysler shares. Stores ac-
tivity declined to $10.300000 day from
$l5,600,000 via relative inactivity of
Montgomery Ward and Woolworth.
Daily average turnovers of oils receded
to $15,300,000 from $20,800,000, while
foods declined to 100000 from $15,-
900, 1000
Steels activity increased to $4,000, 900
more u. S. Steel u S. Smelling and
American Steel Foundry shares changing
hands. The daily average of $4,000 900
for auto accessories, rising from
SIT 900 900, was brought about by u. S.
Rubber and Electric Auto Lite turnovers.
Public utilities also gained in activity,
while rails and preferred stocks slack
ened.
The continued drop In market activity
last week was undoubtedly brought ON
by the WEAKNESS of traders induced by
uncertain money conditions

CURB SPEC|ALT|ES

Utilities Are Prominent as
Pools Push Favorites
to New Heights.
By WILLIAM r. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, January 21.-The ele-
nent favoring continued price appreci-
alton had things pretty much its own
way in todayS curb market operations.
But the upward movement was by no
means uniform and was confined for
the most part to issues which had the
support of powerful pools.
Public utilities were again favored.
Plans for the formation of new holding
companies, merger prospects and the
outlook for continued expansion of
operations were thought to warrant a
higher price level for these issues in
the current market
American Super Power issues moved
upward sharply to new high prices,
Electric Bond and Share Securities es-
tablished new top and United Light
and Power class "A" was turned over
IN enormous volume at its best.
International Petroleum. which took
away leadership ofs&he oil group late
last week from Standard of Indiana.
advanced almost five points to another
new top. The market for Standard of
Indiana quoted down. Vacuum Oil,
with the incentive of another special
stock distribution, was bid up several
points.
Mining issues were influenced by pro-
nounced strength in this class on the
Stock Exchange. Kennecott Copper
new. Noranda Mines and the W-priced
Ohio Copper assumed leadership Ex-
pectations of an early upward revision
of copper price schedules as a result
of the heavy increase in European de-
mand was prime factor in the specu-
lativR calculations.
Aircraft issues lost some of the buoy
ancy which characterized the market
for these stocks during the past few
weeks, but Douglas Aircraft managed
to reach a new high and Niles-Bemen-
Pond gained several points at 201
Other speciality favorites included
Nichols & Shepard, Charts Corporation
and General Bronze, all of which made
their best prices for the year Marconi,
international Rubber Machinery and
BONN Aluminium also were in demand.

vances all around, but then reacted

Oats were also firmer. Provisions in
clined downward.
Accompanying unlocked for advances
in Liverpool wheat values today were
authoritative advices that there has
been extraordinary disappearance of
bread grain this season aided by rela-
tive low ruling prices. Reports also
were circulated that spectators every
where are anticipating reduced supplies
in producing countries toward the end
of the season.
Likelihood of curtailed yields of wheat
next season were likewise a subject of
comment today on account of reports
of subnormal snowfall in Canada and
smaller acreage of Winter wheat in the
United States. with prospects of sub
stantial abandonment this Spring.
Meanwhile, stocks of wheat on farms in
Great Britain were reported as $780,
900 bushels less than last Spring, and
predictions here were for severe cold
wave Northwest and West.

total amounted to $3.50, 900 900, to

Another active business over the last
few years has been the electric light

creased its number Of consumers from
1912 900 in 1925 to 23,400 900 In 1923,

NEW YORK, January 21.-Prices in

and liquidation or local selling pro-
NOTED by relatively easy Liverpool
cables. March eased off to 20.09 and
July to 1919 during the first few min

trade buying as we'll as covering and
prices steadied up later on rumors of
bullish private ginning figures. March
advanced to 20.18 and July to 2082,
with the market steady, although prices
still showed net declines of 4 to points
at the end of the first half hour.
Private cables reported London and
Manchester liquidation in dull mar
ket at Liverpool. but said Manchester
was optimistic. with a fair demand for
cloth and yarns.
