CURB LIST SHOWS
 MODERATE BREAK
News, Favorable and Otherwise,
 Has Little Effect on Prices

New York. Jan. P}-The curb market drifted irregularly lower to- day as trading slackened to around the minimum levels of last year. Bullish demonstrations were restrict ed to isolated shares while the gen. cral list was permitted to sag.
 The market was indifferent to news. Such favorable developments as per cent call money and an nouncement of cash dividend basis for Commonwealth and Southern aroused no enthusiasm, and omission of the Franklin common dividend appeared to have been previously discounted.
 Associated Gas A Rises
 Associated Gas A was a strong feature in the early trading, rising nearly points to A. but 1t quickly attracted realizing at that level and lost more than half of Its gain. Utili- ties generally were easy. Allied Pow CT and Light, recent strong spot, lost couple of points, and Ameri- can and Foreign Power Warrants dropped nearly 4. Electric Bond and Share lost nearly points.
 The favorable copper trade news caused little further enthusiasm for the mining shares. Newmont drop ped several points in realizing on yesterdays advance. Noranda sold up a little at the opening, but soon reacted.
 Franklin actually sold up points before the announcement of the dividend omission. and sagged but momentarily when the news ap- peared. Other motor shares made no headway. Stutz rallied little, then reacted, while Durant sagged about a point. Ford of Canada A sold up little on publication of last years production figures. Industrials gen. orally sagged, Otis Elevator, Niles Bement Pond and American Cyana- mid E losing a point or two.
 Oils General Dull Oils were generally dull, although fair demand appeared for Standard of Kentucky. Cities Service was steady. Indian Territory Oil. con | trolled by Cities Service. sagged for time in profit taking. then rallied. Investment trusts were dull and moved in narrow ranges. Third Ma tional attracted some buying. and Lehman Corp. was fairly steady.

 Small Gains Made
 Atchison General R's, Canadian Pacific 4 1-2s, Chesapeake and Ohio refunding 1-2s, Great Northern f 1-2s, Missouri Kansas and Texas Prior Lien 4s and Nickel Plate ls rose somewhat less than a point. while improvement of about the same proportions was shown by such leading utilities as New York Edison 5s, Southern Bell Telephone 5s, Southwestern Bell Telephone 5s and few others
 The popular industrials were mix cd, with Armour 5hs. Chile Copper 5s, Wheeling Steel 51zs, Wilson ss and 1-orillard Is holding firm III contrast to fractional declines in Western Electric 5s, Trumbull Steel cs and Liggett and Myers 7s. Schul co 6ks, B, fell points. oil com- pany obligations were steady.
 The United States government list showed small changes in a narrower market. Most of the activity cen- tered in the firm Liberty fourth 1-4s.
 Foreigns Irregular
 Foreign bonds became irregular. French government issues, which had wide move yesterday, turned upwards, but Italian Is, likewise &C., tive on Monday, eased.

LISTLESS MARKET
 VOLUME IS SMALL
Smallest Turnover Within 12 Months Occurs on Big Board

New York, Jan. LP>-stock prices bobbed up and down within a mar rcw trading area today, without showing any indication of a definite trend. Trading fell off to the small est volume of any full session for year. or moro, the ticker frequent ly pausing for seconds at a time be- cause of the absence of business Commission houses presented a some what deserted appearance, floor traders apparently accounting for much of the days business. Money Rate Rrops
 Call money renewed at 4l2 per cent, but the demand was so light that the rate was dropped to be- fore midday. This was the lowest rate since February 9, 1928. The time money market was dull, with rates unchanged, but short term bankers dcccptances were advanced Is of per cent.
 The days business news was rather colorless. Private estimates indicated another increase in the daily average of crude oil produc- ton last week, but this was attrib- uted, in part, to the opening up Of new Oklahoma wells for testing purposes in connection with pro- ration scheme. Directors of the Franklin Mfg. Co, passed the 50 cent quarterly dividend, due at this time, and Nash Motors reported an- nual earnings for the year ended Nov. 30 of only slightly more than the $6 annual dividend requirements on the common stock. With the ex- ceptlon Of Woolworth, kresge and National Bellas Hess, most of the leading chain store systems reported increases in December sales above those of the same month q year ago.
 Radfo-keith Orpheum Bought Heavy buying of Radio K eith- , Orpheum, one block of 20, 500 shares changing hands at 23 5-S, was one of the few features of to- days market sestion. Pennsylvania railroad stock declined to 72 3-S, or slightly below the price estab- l1shed In the November break, with selling presumably inspired by the recommendation of the house in- terstate commerce committee for a legislative inquiry into railroad holding companies.
 Union Tank Car broke 10 points, Western Union 3-4, General Flee tric ' and Auburn Auto, Air Re duction, Johns Manvillc, R. H. Macy, American Water Works, Electric Auto Lite. Otis Elevator, Nash Motors Burroughs Adding Machine, Standard Gas and Flee tric, A. M. Byers and T.. s. Indus trial Alcohol all sold down 3 to 1-2 points.
 Wabash Common Rallies Wabash common stocks rallied more than points in response to a court decision In their favor, but the class A stock fell 3-S points. Big Four" jumped IS points on one sale of 10 shares. American Woolen pre- ferred rallied nearly points on buy ing influenced by merger rumors and reports of an upward revision Tn the wool tariff.
 L. s. Steel common advanced to 169 7-S, dropped to 167 and then rebounded to around 16S. Sears Roebuck and Ward rallied moderately in response to short covering.

Such was the substance of replies of leading industrialists, national merchandisers, bankers, insurance company heads, statistical experts and leaders of organized employers and organized labor to the follow ing query:
 How was the business in the first quarter of 1880? What is the out look for business in the remaining nine nlonths?"
 Replies Indicate Soundness
 "The replies" said the World, indicate agreement that underlying conditions are sound, though the inn provement is by no means general, and business men generally are pro- ceeding cautiously in new commit ments There is also agreement that easy money rates and large build ing programs, declared by the lea1- ing statistical organization to be equal to that of the best years, are most important factors ill the re covery.
 Tn their replies to the World query. some credit President Hoovel with having checked the depression through calling conferences of busi. ness leaders once Wall Street show cd signs of settling down. Other: ascribe slowness in recovery anG caution on the pal of business ner to delay and consequent uncertain ties over the tariff"
