Market Suffers a Slight Set
back in Late Deal

BY CLAUDE A JAEGER.
Associated Press FinHneial ECiiteE:

NEW YORK, January 24.-The
stock market ended week of almost
steadily advancing prices today with
q mild. setback.
A vigorous effort to extend the rally
by bidding up the automobile shares
was less successful than similar efforts
have been in the rail issues of late,
whatever may be the effects of motor
competition in the field of transporta-
ton.
Profit Taking.
The market reflected week end profit
taking at the start, but in the middle
the session stiffened with a rise of ]
to points in motor and accessory.
issues The upturn was only used to
liquidate industrialS and utilities, how
ever, and the list closed irregularly lower,
with much of the advance in the motors
lost. Rails were quiet and steady.
It was notable that, trading failed In
show much vitality on the decline
Total sales for. thu two-hour session
were only about, l,150,000 shares The
continued maintenance of the improved
tone of the bond market was regarded
as distinctly favorable.
Tobaccos were selling targets in the
final transaction II appeared That
bears selected these issues for an attack,
on the basis Of retail cigarette price,
cutting, although manufacturers prices
have not been changed, and their profits
may be increased by. the stimulus to
consumption.
American Tobacco "B" dropped S
points, and closed of 4, net. .Liggett
& Myers issues lost and 8 points.
Allied Chemical was again a. wide
mover, dropping Z points, and closing
near the bottom.
westinghouse Electric, Air Reduction
and Consolidated Gas lost about Q
points, and issues closing of a point
or so included, American Water Works,
woolworth, Sears Roebuck, American

Steel, Union Carbide and Johns Man
vile. Only fractional losses were
shown by United States Steel. Radio,
American Can and North American.
Other Changes.
In the motors, Auburn was a volatile
performer. It sank 2 points, rallied to-
show gain of more than 4, then lost
halt its advance. Such issues as Nash,
Studebaker. Chrysler and Hudson
showed temporary gains Of a point or
more, but were up only q little at the
finish. GeneraF Mctois was fairly active,
but made little progress
The advance in the motor group ap-
peared to be a professional move, based
on reports of moderately satisfactory
sales and expectation of improvement
with the approach Of Spring. Reports
from the steel industry. however, IN
dictate that the seasonal Improvement
has been partially checked. Operations
in the Youngstown area, which serves
much of the motor industry, next week
are scheduled for about 20 per cent of
capacity, q gain of only about 1 point
from this weeks estimated rate.
Wall Street placed favorable long

Brunswick, Ca. that George r. Baker
expressed the belief that it was unwise
to go short of the market. at this time,
permitting himself two statements to

After hearing several cases, the dis
trict court at Pine City took a weeks

dict was rendered. The defendants
live near Sturgeon Lake.

SHACK GIVES UP
SUSPICIOUS MEN
Sheriff and Deputies Round up Three
as Thieving Complaints
Come I'm.

Sheriff Rypkema, Bill Lammerts
and Bill Marion picked up two men
north of town Sunday night The men,
with third party had been batch
ing in a shack until complaints from
farmers about food being stolen led
to the arrest.
The authorities entered the shack
about 1880 in the evening and waited
until eleven o'clock before the men,
giving their names as Jack Leary
and Bill Johnson, returned. They
were Immediately ordered to put up
their hands. Bill Johnson refused and
tried to get his gun, but upon being
told the deputy would get it he said,
81 was going to give it to you"
They were brQpght to town and
lodged in Jail to ee questioned later.
Their suit cases were found to con-
tain new clothing with the store tags
still on. The shack contained con-
siderable ammunition and fire arms.
They also will be charged with killing
deer out of season. Monday, the au-
thorities returned to the shack and
picked up the third man, Tom Shar-
key.
1t is thought that several crimes
recently can be charged to them.

office in the Cincinnati district.
The lavish hand of Congress in
appropriating billions for various re-
lief schemes and projects has curbed
the plans of the government depart
ments. The word has been passed
down the line that rigid economy must
be practiced to keep the nation on an
even keel. Every effort is being made
to ward off what appears as newt
able-a demand for an upward re-
vision of taxes to provide necessary
funds. Therefore, the announcements
of the American Legion that they
would demand legislation at the next
session, increasing governmental aid
to veterans, is provoking widespread
concern. Officials of the executive
branch of the government are fully
cognizant of the disposition of Con-
gress to spend the money and leave
the burden of raising the cash to
others. With an election due next
year 'pork-barrel" measures will re-
ceive more than kindly attention.
The old-timers among the political
leaders in both major political camps
are shaking their heads mournfully
these days. They bemoan the ten
dency of the younger element to pre-
dict sweeping changes from a few
local upheavals. These warehouses
who have watched the rise and fall
of men and women over a long period
of direct participation in things po-
litical believe it is a mistake to as
sumo that an occasional blight in New

spread change. They are amused and
sometimes concerned as the Republic

the Norwegian America Steamship
line is the chapter dealing with pas
senger traffic between Norway and the
United States: In 1929 the line car
ried 11,120 passengers to American
ports, but in 1880 only $500; on the
other hand, the number of east-bound
passengers had increased from 6,693
in 1929 to 11,120 in 1880. Passenger
traffic between Norway and Canadian
ports has come almost to a standStill
owing to severe restrictions imposed
