CURB Shares SHOW
IRREGULAR TREND
Oils Sell 0ff-Copper and
Motor Issues Are
Steady.
BY JOHN A. cRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 15.-Irregular-
1ty marked the opening of the Curb
Exchange and continued throughout
the first few hours of trading. Public
utilities displayed mixed price trends
as oils eased. The coppers and motors
were firm, but investment trusts and
miscellaneous industrials lacked uni
fornity.
Among the power and light issues
Electric Bond e. Share, after opening
up slightly, sold off about point This
was due to estimates of 81 a share on
the common of American & Foreign
Power, its principal foreign subsidiary.
Warrants of the latter company eased.
Cities Service, allowing for its being ex-
dividend, was down shade.
Foreign shares met the first furry of
selling as a result of weakness in Lon
don and budget discussions in Berlin
The softneSs in United Molasses was
attributed to the forthcoming annual
report, which is expected to be UNI
favorable.
Brazilian Traction 81 Light was sold
following It's declaration of 2 per cent
dividend in common stock on the COM
mon, or the same rate as paid in the
previous quarter At that time the stock
dividend was declared in lieu of the
usual payment in cash.

You'd the individual farmers ken. It's
job Is to find new markets and to
provide an efficient machine for mar
keting. The individual farmers prog
ress depends on his own intelligent in
dustry and capable management.
1T is not to be expected that the
farmer will change his system of farm
ing voluntarily. In this State they
are equipped for wheat raising. The
whole system is built upon it in the
West and only the force of economic
pressure will work change. There ia
a fear among grain growers that Mr..
Legge Is right regarding the future of
wheat prices and the necessity for
acreage curtailment, but a hope that
he isn't"
Position Of Board.
Frequently the comment Is heard
among those in close touch with the
wheat situation, but not producers
themselves, that they can see no way
out of the dilemma in which the Farm
Board finds itself-compelled on one
hand to buy wheat to support prices
and unable on the other hand to sell
this surplus wheat because of the
artificial price created-unless there is
crop failure, not now in sight. It
also is said that Chairman Legge
entered the wheat market against his
best Judgment and at the insistence OF
politicians
"One thing you may be sure Of"
these men say, IF the farmers Join
the grain trade in destroying the Farm
Board, then they will be back again
demanding something to take its place,
such as the export debcnture or the
equalization fee"
Several Kansas legislators expressed
the opinion that the farmers would feel
a lot better over the present level of
prices If city consumers were benefit
ing by the sharp reductions that have
taken place in recent months. How
ever, they claim the farmer is paid
less for product which costs city peo-
pie as much now as 1t did before the
price deflation. Likewise, the country
producers are kicking over continuance
of high prices for the things they
must buy.
This farm problem is one of the
biggest in the world today" said Mr..
Mohler. 1T is hardly time to express
dissatisfaction with the efforts of the
Farm Board after 18 months, when If
1t would solve the problem after 10
years it would be doing remarkable
job"

The annual statement of the condi-
ton of the bank shows total resources
of $50, 088 80 at the close of business
December 81, 1880. Surplus and undi-
vided profits had increased to $4,000.
While the total deposits during 1880
were slightly less than in 1929, due to
the decrease in the county deposits
caused by a decrease in the tax levy,
the $597, 997.57 of individual deposits
shows a slight increase over last year.
Following the meeting a dinner was
served to the stockholders by the ladies'

SALES ON INCREASE
December Report for 1880 Reveals
Gain in Machines Sold
to Dealers.
Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, January 15.-In De-
cember General Motors sold 68,252
cars to dealers in the United States,
compared to 36,432 cars in December,
1929, it was announced today. During
the same month General Motors deal
ers sold 57,9So cars to consumers in

cember sales to dealers, including Ca
madam sales and overseas shipments,
were 80 ,008, compared to 4O,222 in
December, 1929. These increases are
largely due to the introduction of new
Chevrolet models in November instead
of in January as in previous years.
For the year 1880 General Motors
total sales at home and abroad were
1,174,115 units, compared to 1899 ,267
units in 1929.
Last year General Motors Corpora
ton sold 1905, $50 cars to dealers, while

cars to consumers. This compares with
the sale of 1,535,852 cars to dealers and
1897 cars to consumers for the
year 1929. Whereas the corporation
sold $1,000 more cars to dealers in
1929 than dealers sold to consumers,
the dealers last year sold 22,050 more
cars to consumers than they bought
from the corporation.

WILL DISCUSS IMPORTS
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Legislation relating largely to the
difficult trading situation created by
tmportations from Russia of lumber
produced by convict and forced labor
will be considered by the Board of Di-
rectors of the National Lumber Manu-
facturers' Association in Chicago early
next month.
Other national legislation to be dis
cussed at the meeting will relate to
proposed changes in the attitude of the
Federal Government toward industrial
agreements that will have the effect OF
promoting the conservation of the Ma
tons timber resources. It is said that
unrestrained competition, which is now
virtually enforced by the antitrust laws,
is inevitably resulting in overproduc-
ton of lumber and wasteful manufac-
ture which, in turn, mean the unneces-
sarily rapid depletion Of the country's
original timber stand.
