Hazing, however, has not been confined, even

similar practices, but even encouraged them.

EARLY TRAD|NG
SH0WSHIGHER
LEVELS
BY w. 3. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. Q GN.s9.
Though handicapped by q poor
start, industrial stocks on the
big board were able to climb
through to slightly higher price
levels in the early trading today.
The bears sold them short" at
the opening, and as a rule re-
ceived fractionalIy lower prices
for their offerings Of high grade
stocks.
Only 25O.OOO shares changed
hands In the first half hoiIr
showing that there was little a.
no weakened selling Of rnarain
stock in this period. CAN money
renewed at ~ per cent.
General conditions in Industry
and trade were unchanged. The
steel trade Is looking up, with
mill wheels now turning at closa
to 65 per cent capacity. The
crowds have been flocking 10 the
AuCOmODlke snow, encouraging the
motor car makers.
Freight car loadings are taper-
ing Off discouragingly and rail.
road net earnings declined at the
fastest rate since 1924. This. Of
course, is expected to Be only
temporary, since car loadings win
increase as soon as business picks
up.
United States Steel and BethIe-
hem, with a few Of the utilities
and pet induStrialS like American
Can and international Nickel,
made the best showing in the
first hour. Big Steel forged ahead
to 16912 and Bethlehem 10 95N
in fairly active trading. Inter
national Nickel was well bought
at 33A. UP 11a. and American
and Foreign Power at 0415. up 2.
Weakness in PENNSYLVANIA,
which dropped to 721s, the lowest
price since 1928, was discour-
aging to the rail bulls. The rights
to buy new stock expire today
and it was thought that q rally
in this stock was near ct hand.

NEED Or SMALL
LOAN BILL
URGED

Considerable speculation as to
value Of the uniform small loan
bill is current in local financial
circles.
Bankers and financiers say
there is some need Of such law.
Louis RothSchild, director Of
the washington Better. Business
Bureau, today declared that the
need for such Q law is apparent,
as ct present those wishing to
borrow small sums and having no
banking connections have to
patronize loan sharks" and pay
exhorbitant interest.
The measure recently endorsed
By the Board Of Commissioner
is the result, 1t is claimed, Of
surveys conducted by the Russell
Sage Foundation.
The bill would provide bonded
companies for the lending Of
small sums at rates not to exceed
3h per cent q month on unpaid
balances. It would place under
Government supervision these
loan companies.
The Uniform small loan bill has
been passed in q number OF
States.
Backers claim that with this
measure the bootleg lender"
would be driven from the field
and supplanted by agencies and
individuals who cannot work here
under the present law which pro-
vides q rate Of interest so low as
to be. impractical.
