STOCK TRADING
FOR PAST WEEK
HITSLOW FIGURE
Saturdays Session LighteSt
in Year; News Is
Optimistic.
By Unitfd Press

BH United Press
NEW YORK, Jan. 13.-Tradlng
last week fell off to the lightest
proportions in more than a year on
the New York Stock Exchange and
prices barely changed from the close
CT last week.
Saturdays session was the light
est in more than a year. During
1929 not single session. even Sat-
urdays, fell below the million share
mark.
Narrowness Of price movement in
the final analysis was a result of
recovery after dips. The trend was
indefinite. but there was no con-
certed pressure exerted by the bears.
Traders were cautious, however, and
did not extend buying commitments.
United States Steel, General Elec-
trio, Westinghouse Electric and
other industrial leaders were ham
mered down at times and then rail-
Lied. On Saturday, however. week
end profit-taking and fears of de-
VeIopmentT led many to sell and
prices turned lower.
Utilities had periods of strength
as did food shares and some of the
amuSements. Radio-Keith-O rpheum
was market leader early in the
week on expectation it would take
over the Loew's holdings of Fox.
Fox Film A had another sinking
spell late in the week and closed
lower.
Business news this week was more

operations we're stepped up; United

tonnage was up $1,000 tons for Dec.
81 as compared with Nov. 30; auto
mobile production was better; retail
trede showed improvement. In adj
dition brokerage loans declined

Motor shares were depressed after
their demonstration of last week.
This selling, however, was not due
to any failure of the auto show.
