ports of $115,967 900, a net gain of
$3.50, 087, 600.
The influx of gold still was notably

NEW YORK, January 21.-The
stock market Is IN drifting stage and
unless there Is some important de-
velopment of favorable or unfavorable
nature 1t is likely to remain In this
state for several weeks. 1t Is entirely
in the hands Of the professional
element.
The public has not for years been
SO completely removed from participa-
ton In Wall Street affairs as 1t Is
today. The customers man Of one Of
the largest brokerage houses did not
receive q single order during Monday
session. Ordinarily he would have had
several sheets of orders to report at the
end Of the day. The mood of the Street
and Of the public being pesSimistic, II
is believed that prices are more likely
to drift downward than to move in
an upward direction.

Special Dispatch TO The star.
NEW YORK, January 21.-Advances
predominated in today's stock trading
but there was no uniformity about the
movement. Except in shares in which
there was an overcrowded short inter.
est there were no large gains, and there
were many exceptions to the trend.
Trading was again IN small volume.
Poor. Earnings Ignored.
Early in the day the railroad shares
made the best showing. More Deem
Der statements were published and as
expected they made a dismal COMPARE
son with the same month of 1929. Ches-
apeake g. Ohio, which has been one of
the roads to give the most encouraging
account up to now, showed large loss
in both gross and net.
These reports were not q factor in
the market. AtchiSon and New York
Central started in strong and later on
Norfolk & Western ran UP points,
with smaller gains in Southern Pacific,
Union Pacific, Chicago g. Northwestern
and Baltimore & Ohio.
Another striking instance of the mar
ket's ability to ignore poor earnings
was that of Auburn Auto For the
quarter ending November 80 last the
company had reported a net loss, while
for the full year earnings per share
were S5.43 against $2l 90 in the proceed
ing year. Nevertheless, the stock was
one of the strongest issues in the list
today, up 4 points before noon. The
explanation is the small share capital
ization, the smaller floating supply of
stock and the fact that the stock had
been oversold by professional operators
for the decline.
Early Strength In Rails.
Strength in the railway shares was
the feature in the early trading. Ac-
tive issues in this group reached new
highs on the move under the leader
ship OF .AtchiSon with g gain of over
two points and New York Central with
gain Of over a point. other carrier
issues in demand included Southern
Pacific, Union Pacific. New Haven and
Chicago & Northwestern. The unfa-
vorable comparisons in the December
earnings statement were not a market
factor.
Industrials opened higher in contin-
uation OF the covering operation OF
Tuesday, but after the overnight or
ders had been executed most Of these
stocks relapsed into dullness and fr-
regularity. Motor shares were well
supported, including General Motors
and Auburn, the last named as the
best since the income report was pub
ltshed. United States Steel was frac-
tionally higher. but Westinghouse was
heavy and so was General Electric.
Sales in the first half hour were
272, 300 shares. Money renewed at II
per cent.

Because Municipal Judge Paul G.

apartment Illegally, Harry B. Car
penter, Apartment 81, 1909 North
Illinois street, president of the Lin
coin Oil Refining Company, was
free of blind tiger charges today.

attorney for Carpenter charged was
issued on "hearsay, u1founded and
untrue" a police squad is said to
have conf1scated more than twenty
pints OF whisky, gin and wine on
March 20.
The motion to suppress evidence
which Judge Wetter sustained
charged that the police first tried
to break into the apartment, when
Carpenter was not at home, and
that, falling, they returned the next
night and obtained a pass key from
the custodian under threat of
breaking down the door.
The warrant never was served on

Thus did Billy Sunday. Hoosier

addressed q capacity audience in

~Can't enforce prohibition? You

Sunday shouted.

Some ministers sermons smell
like herring and sauerkraut. Lots
of preachers lips are tied down by
fear that the congregation won't
like it. To deny the preachers
rights to be heard in public morals
is a dannable INSULT" he shouted.
"There is no difference between the
anarchy Of co-Vanzetti and re-
pudiation Of the eighteenth amend

Sunday asserted that misuse of
government permits for medical al
