CURB SHARES FIRM
J IN UPWARD TREND
Market Displays Steady Un-

NEW YORK, January 27-Openine
higher and active today, the Curb Ex-
change maintained these trends as the
session progressed.
The public utilities were the leaders
Of the market, with Electric Bond &,
Share, up more than point, heading
the division. American Gas g. Electric,
Middle West Utilities, United Light g.
Power A, Associated Gas and Niagara
Hudson Power were also active. Cities
Service chung around its previous final
price.
In the case of Electric Bond g. Share
the street heard that it contemplates
some financing, possibly an offer of pre-
ferred, in connection with its expansion
program. The common had liquidat-
ing value of $1,000 share at the close
of 1890, against $16.45 a share at the
end of 1929.
United Gas which was the most
prominent of the natural gas shares.
will show earnings on the common OF
IS to 40 cents a share. The activity
of the stock in part is based on many
expansion plans now under way.
One of the features of early utility
trading was the numerous telephone
issues that appeared on the tape.
Peninsular Telephone on the first sale
in the year was fractionally higher
above the 20 level. Gray Telephone Pay
station jumped more than points to
q new peak for the year.
Richf1eld Oil preferred, with an ad-
vance of 8 points, featured the miscel-
laneous oils. The earning report OF
Southern Pipe Line was responsible for
the rise Of that stock. The company
reported 1880 profits of $2.44 share,
against $l.24 in 1929.
The manner in which the shorts have
been squeezed in Auburn Auto over on
the Stock Exchange probably threw
some fears into the bears on Cord Man
ufacturing, with the result that Cord
easily scored new high for the year
on relatively few sales. Aside from the
rise in Cord and the activity of Ford
Motor, Ltd, dealings in the motors in
the forenoon were only moderate. Ac-
cessories and machinery and steel stocks
also were not as active as on Monday.
Volume today was somewhat higher
than on Monday, with trading more
selectiye.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, January 81 R).-With
excessively dry weather in domestic
Winter wheat territory factor, grains
advanced today after an irregular start.
At. some Illinois points drought was
reported making more wells empty than
during any time last Summer. Opening
1s cent off to II up, wheat afterward
showed increased gains. Corn started
unchanged to " down, and subse-
Quently rose all around.
Word that Central Illinois creeks and
springs never before known to have gone
dry had failed had bulliSh influence
over both wheat and corn. Friends OF
higher prices laid stress also on Senate
action looking to emergency relief use
of 100000 bushels of wheat owned
by the Grain Sterilization Corporation.
There were indications, too, that over
night export business in North American
wheat was Of fairly liberal volume, and
that Argentine shippers were unwilling
to accept any further the low price levels
of the last week.
Corn developed strength faster than
wheat. A trade authority said official
estimates of a reduction in grain con-
Stunning units of live stock was less than
per cent compared with year ago,
whereas production of feed grains was
lis per cent less and hay production
was 16.5 per cent less. Primary arrivals
of corn were $4,000 bushels, against
$4,000 week ago and 1,056,000 at this
time last year. Oats derived flrmnesS
from other cereals.
Provisions tended upward with grains.
