STOCK PRICES SAG
AFTER EARLY GAIN
Market Operations Restrict
ed Pending Publication Of
Presidents Message.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December Stock
market operation during the morning
hours were restrained, pending publi-
cation OF the Presidents message to
Congress. The overnight announce
ment OF the decision of the Interstate
Commerce Commission, allowing the
railroads to put the rate increase into
effect on their own terms as far as the
pooling proposition Is concerned,
brought some buying of the railway
shares at the opening and a slightly
higher range of prices. The gains, how
ever, were not held and the rails, like
the industrials, showed sagging tend
ency.
Prices Drift Uncertainty
Virginia railway directors, declared
q $3.50 quarterly dividend. The rate
served simply to illustrate diticulties
of operation.
The market is believed to harbor a
large short interest and there was no
disposition to extend that account to-
day, On the other hand, there was
no important buying either. Stocks
were left to take care of themselves.
One OF the few features was the
heaviness in the food shares. Borden
was freely sold, perhaps rejecting the
series of reductions in the price of
milk but possibly responding to tax
selling. An operation likely to confuse
price movements for the balance OF the
year. Homestake mining, which had
been strong Monday. lost all the gain
today. Lima Locomotive made q new
years low, but the so-called pivotal
industrials fuctuated idlv.
Gains At Opening.
Prices opened higher. An advance In
the rails was the feature.
Atchison at 95ts was up IL. Balti-
more g. Ohio at 25a4 rose 1A New
York Central at 327s gained Ia. Penn
sylvania at 23H climbed tx. Southern
Pacific was up ! y and Union Pacific
up 2 at 50.
News developments included the I. G.
G. consent to the railroads plan for
pooling revenues for specified rate In
creases to make loans to weak lines, a
rise In steel ingot output, a fractional
rise In sterling here and the irregu-
iarlty Of the London securities market.
Later In the day the Presidents mes
sage was expected to be market factor
New Haven, whose directors were
meeting for dividend action as the mar
ket opened, appeared at 27, up 1S.
United States Steel Corporation was up
! at 54h Allied Chemical at 77A ad-
vanced IA. American Can rose u 10
65h. General Electric at 27a was un-
changed, but Westinghouse Electrical at

sey was unchanged, but American Tele-

While credit conditions abroad leave

DEMURRER FILED
BY CRAWFORD IS
GIVEN ANSWER

Striking back at the amended
complaint recently filed by D. r.
Crawford, the defendant Presbytery
Of Los Angeles today filed in the
county clerks office notice of a
motion TO strike portions of the
amended complaint, and a demur-
rer to the amended complaint.
The religious organization will at
tempt to have portions of the COM
plant stricken on the grounds they
are irrevelant, immaterial and re-
dundant. These portions deal, with
the life estate agreement between
Crawford and the Presbytery before
the former decided property in this
and Los Angeles county to the re-
nglouS organization.
The demurrer is based on h G
grounds 1t cannot be determined
from the complaint what encum-
brances on the decided property
were to be taken care of and paid
by the Presbytery, and that the
amended complaint is ambiguous
and uncertain.
CrawfordS suit seeks return to
him of property decided to the re-
ligiouS body, charging the latter or
ganization failed to keep its agree
ment that Crawford should have q
life estate in the property, and was
to receive all income from it, while
the Presbytery cared for encum-
branceS and debts against it.

NEW YORK, Dec. 16. U.P)-The
Culbertson-Lenz contract bridge
match, currently occupying vide
spread attention, is developing into
a neck and neck affair.
Further than that, all squabbles
between the players are simmering

the others are not using the bid
ding system they touted before the
thing got started.
The contest degenerated into a

and finally wound up with the
Culbertsons.. Ely and 10, leading
by 4l0 points. This is practically
