Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, February 26.-The Curb
Exchange opened firmly today. receded
fractionally in the first hour and then
recovered, without bringing about any
noticeable increase in the volume Of
trading
Electric Bond & Share was virtually
unchanged, which was true also OF
Cities Service and Standard OIL of In

lillian Traction, Pennroad Corporation,
Middle West Utilities, Utilities Power &
Light and American Gas & Electric
were fractionally lower.
Earning reports by public utilities
somewhat Offset the weekly electricity
output statistics, which registered a
record low amount for the period since
the depression began. Part of this de-
cline doubtless was due to Mondays
holiday and part to the fact that many
industries are preparing to increase
schedules but have not yet done 50.
The steel industry is an example Of
a trade on the verge of speeding up
production Makers of Ford parts and
accessories in Toledo today began max
ing large shipments to Ford assembly
plants, but a survey Of steel trade ofh-
cials here revealed that Ford has placed
relatively few steel orders yet. Such
orders are expected to be placed within
the next tWo weeks, which would mean
increased steel production and conse-
quently greater use Of electricity by
that industry.
New York Steam Corporation re-
Sponded fractionally to its 1881 income
statement showing $3.50 a share on the
common against S294 in 1880. The
profits of Niagara Hudson Power Cor
poration also were better than antici-
pated. approximating 81 cents a share
against 60 cents in 1890. Niagara Hud-
son has called a special shareholders
meeting for April II to vote on a pro-
posal to reduce the amount OF capltal
outstanding by exchanging three pres
ent shares for one new share.
Thinness Of bids for public utility pre-
ferred issues during the forenoon was

Glen Alden Coal was the weakest is
sue in the fuel group, so far as junior

terly of 25 cents Strength OF Todd

Grain Market
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO February 26.-Wheat
prices averaged higher early today, in
fiuenced by reports that Russia had
practically stopped exporting wheat,
and was shipping grain into famine
stricken home districts. There were also
advlces that Russia had expressed dis
satisfaction with japanese activities rel
ative to Manchuria.
Opening 1s14 off to "a up, wheat
afterward rose all around. Corn
started unchanged to IA down and
subsequently hardened.
Commission houses were active buy
erS of wheat futures here, and Liver
poo, reported demand for wheat abroad
well sustained despite large receipts in
Great Britain. Bulls contended that
strong underlying conditions OF the
Wcrld situation as to wheat had be-
come decidedly more pronounced OF
late. An almost complete reversal OF
foreign advices about crop prospects
was instanced, and 1t was asserted that
there were striking indications Of
constantly improving overseas demand.
Large export purchases of Canadian
wheat last night were noted, and Win
nipeg messages said millers and ex-
porters were doing a good business
daily. A reason given was rapid d.
miniShing of the wheat surplus in Au-
stralie and the poor condition of India's
growing crops. In some quarters bull
lish construction was put upon reports
that American, British and French Am
basSadorS were insisting no more Jap
anesc troops be landed at the Shanghai
International Settlement and that jap
anese warships' position be altered.
Corn and oats moved up with wheat
and a. a result of scantiness of rural
offerings of corn.
Provisions were responsive to upturnS
in hog values and cereals.

that 1876 per cent of its population lives

NEW FORD MODELS
AWAITED IN TRADE
Plans for Marketing Cars Will
Interest Rival Automo-
bile Firms.
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE
Associated Press STAFF Writer

DETROIT, February 26.-Upward of
500 .0OO,O for labor and s1O0 600 900
more for raw and fabricated materials
will be expended by the Ford Motor
Co. during 1882 in the production of
its recently announced new models.
The first of these will be shown around
March l.
The figures are based on the gen.
orally accepted belief that the Ford Co.
is preparing for an intensive production
drive, as well as vigorous merchan-
dising campaign. The Ford plans are
believed to call for the production of
more than 100000 units in 1882.
Pending further disclosure of the
Ford program. the remainder of the
industry continues uncertain as to Just
what plans to make. Consequently
there has been relatively little ex-
pansion of production by other units
of the industry.
While the makers of cars in the same
price range with the Ford are more
directly concerned in the carrying out
of the Ford program, the manufac-
turers in the medium price bracket
are considerably more than curious to
know the quality and the price of the
new eight-cylinder engine to be intro
duCed
At-"eover, tE2e entire industry is wait
ing to learn what changes are to be
made in the financing plans for mar
keting the new cars. 1t expects the
Ford Co. to announce a plan for SELL
ing the new cars on down payment OF
$l00 and deferred payments extending
over from 18 months tc 3 years How
ever, the Ford plans in the past have
been subject to SO much gossip and so
many last-minute changes that the in
duStry wants official confirmation from
the Ford Offices before adjusting its
own plans to compete with them.
That the Ford program for 1882 will
have significant effect upon the en-
tire automobile industry is evident in
all trade circles. Whether other auto
mobile finance corporations will alter
their deferred-payment plans is conSid-
cred to be not only possible, but quite
likely to follow, if Ford decides pom an
extension of credit.
The story of the automobile industry
during the last quarter century has
been one largely of Ford against the
field. Ford is not a member OF the in
dCstry's National Chamber of Com
merce and has consistently declined to
join other manufacturers in plans they
b6 lieve could be best worked out in
unified programs.
While Ford is proceeding with prepa-
rations for bringing out his new models,
rumors Of plans by his chief competi-
tors to match his 1882 offerings as soon
as they have opportunity to examine
them continue to spread in trade cir
cleS.

DRIVE ON BOARDING
REVEALS RESULTS
Government Efforts to Break
Credit Jam Are Meet
ing Success.
BY FRANK II. MCCONNELL,

NEW YORK. February 26.-New
York banks look forward to the end OF
the first quarter of the new year with
greater assurance of a favorable earn
ing record than they did in the last
quarter Of 1881.
The security markets, which deter
mine the need for writing down assets
to new valuations, have behaved much
better than in the preceding quarter
Moreover, there has been slackenlng
of the sharp decrease in bank deposits,
which reached the peak OF It's mo-
mentum in the last quarter OF 1881
Credit def1ation, likewise, has slackened
Most of the large local banks, 1t
was estimated by students of bank
earnings, will do somewhat better than
earn their dividends in the first quar-
ter January was described as sat
isfactory month, compared with De-
cember So far in February, this I'M
provement has been held.
While only a distinct turn in the tide
of general business will restore the
banks to normal earning power, lead
ing executives of the larger Wall street
banks have expressed particular salts
tactlOn with recent BONeGHHeHId4 t!
forts to stimulate business. The newly
enacted Glass-Steageil measure for re-
laxing credit by altering the collatera
requirements of Federal Reserve banks
for currency purposes will pave the way
for recovery by making credit more
easily available, a majority of bankers
have stated in informal interviews.
The Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration, their reports showed, has al
ready achieved the benefit OF tonmg
up business sentiment. In the first
week of the corporations activity, ever
before it had made any sizable ad-
vances, the slackening of pace OF bank
suspensions became evident.
The present Governmental campaign
against boarding has also elected keer
interest. The psychological effect OF
a drive to chase boarded money out OF
the mattresses was carefully weighed
before the action was started. Early
effects have been encouraging, reports
received by Wall street banking houses
indicate
One large New York bank last week
received S40O, 900 of boarded gold from
single source. it was said. In New
Jersey, a smaller bank reported that
new deposits had been made by In
dividuals who unhesitatingly explained
they were depositing boarded money
for patriotic reasons.

Government List Moves For

OpcCld4 DlSphtCil 10 Inc SJhT.
NEW YORK. February 26.-Bonds
advanced strongly today in an active
market The demand for high-grade
bonds over the counter was reported
brisk.
The market opened higher, rejecting
the cutting of the rediscount rate Of
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York
from 3l2 to 3 per cent. This move was
in line with market expectations and
with the cheap money policy that is
now the evident aim of the admins
tration.
In the belief that the present bank
rate cut pressges another reduction
soon, long-term Liberty and Treasury
bonds were bid up p to over a point at
the opening. Although this brought
out some realizing by those who had
bought further down, the Government
list retained substantial net gains.
The upturn IN Government bonds
carried along prime corporation issues
such as Atchison General As. American
Telephone 5s, Norfolk G. Western 4s and
Consolidated Gas SIPS. Industrials like
Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS and
