NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-Railroad
shares featured the morning trad
ing on the Stock Exchange today,
their strength hating a reaction
in the general list set of by weak
ness in General Motors.
The entire railroad group was up
fractions to more than 3 points
around noon and these issues were
monopolizing the tape. Demand
continued despite denial by David
B. Robertson, general chairman Of
the labor executives association,
that the workers had agreed to a
wage reduction.
Atchison reached 93K, up IA;
New Haven, 31H, up /; Illinois
Central, 10, up Is; Southern Pa
cific, 81. up ia; Missouri Pacific,
II, up q; Missouri Pacific pre-
ferred, 25%, up 81, and New York
Central, 347s, up u.
General Motors Dips
General Motors slipped back to
21%, off q, in the early trading.
It's low for the bear market of 1917
was made several weeks ago. When
rails continued to move higher, SELL
ing lightened in the issue and it
rallied fractionally from the low
of the day. Du Pont dipped more
than a point, following the drop in
General Motors.
steel common touched 45A, of
* in the early trading, but around
noon it had rallied to 45%. Other
leaders moved in a relatively mar
row range. Utilities were mixed
but losses were held in frac-
tional area.
Public Interest Small
Bonds moved narrowly with rail-
road issues in demand. United
States government issues reacted
following publication of the federal
reserve weekly statement showing
the reserve had not adopted a pol
icy of buying the issues.
The decline of $32,OoO00o in brok-
erage loans-the twentieth success
sive drop in as many weeks
brought the total loan figure to a
new low at 1881 100000. This indi-
Gated lack of public participation
in the market and many concluded
the list was not in a position to
carry the rise much further with
out outside buying.

SNUFF HABIT IS MONEY MAKER
 FOR SELLERS
Each of the Three Big Pro- ducing COmpanie s Have Declared Extra Dividends Output Has Been Big
By RICHARD L.. GRIDLEY.

By RICHARD L. GRIDLEY.
 United Press Stan CorrespOndcnt)
 New York. Dec s.-(UP)-Snuff takers tried so many pinches dur ing the depression that the three major snuff producing corporations in Amreica paid extra dividends. The three arge companies, American Snuff company. George w. Helme company, and United States Tobacco company, supply practically all the domestic re- .quirements for this form of the . weed"
 The output, rising from 32,196,- 676 pounds in 1921, also a deprcs- sion year, reached a record high Of 41,9OO,5S7 pounds in 1880. The following year showed slight drop and this year the output dropped II per cent in the first ten months.
 Cigar production this year was off even more and cigarette output declined about a like amount. The latter industry was upset, however, by the appearance of many low priced brands.
 Snuff is one of the oldest indus tries in the country. Sales are heavy in certain sections. New England factory towns such as Fail River and New Bedford. Mass. are large users because smoking generally is prohibited during working hours.
 In the central northwest many persons of Scandinavian descent have acquired the habit. In that district many stores provide can openers for the cans of "snoose." One New York store reports a de- mand for boxes at $30.50 each.
 It is as medicine" that many persons have acquired the snuff habit. Many doctors have conn mented upon the value of snuff as a cold preventive. although the same tickling of the nose may be done with feather.
 At any rate. the habit has grown so that the United States Tobacco company raised its common divid- end from $3 to $4 annually on October l., 1929, and again to $40 on July ], 1932. American Snuff company has maintained a $3 an nual basis and paid extras of 25 cents a share annually in the past two years on the common stock. George w. Helme pays a $5 regular dividend annually on the common with an extra of $2 in each of the two past years.

Harry Beck Dies
 In Boston Hospital
Member of Democrats Advertising Staff Succumbs to
 Operation Funeral Tomorrow

Harry E. Beck of 9S Hawley street of the advertising depart ment of the Waterbury Democrat, died last evening at the Peter Brent Brigham hospital in Boston after a brief illness. Mir Beck had been in good health and had con- tinued his work until a week ago when he decided to enter the Bos- ton hospital for observation. An operation was performed yesterday and although successful, MT Beck succumbed at 8:30 o'clock last evening. About year ago he was seriously i'll for several months but he had apparently recovered and had resumed his duties at the Democrat with renewed spirit.
 MT Beck was prominent among the Jewish residents of the city and was especially active in the events sponsored by their organizations. His interest was centered in the Temple Israel and up to the time of his death he was vice-president of the Temple and for many years was a member of the executive DOdTQ O1 tIlO ICEdISOhs AAC growth of the Temple in the past few years has been due mainly to the splendid cooperation shown by MT Beck who was an ardent worker for the cause. Throughout the congregation of the Temple he was known for his sterling charac- ter and his untimely death will be an irreparable loss to the Temple group.
 He was d faithful and con- scientious employe of the advertis- ing department of the Waterbury Democrat, who through his con- tact with local merchants and busi- ness people earned the respect and of everyone. He was of a retiring disposition but made friends rapidly and his many busi- ness acquaintances and others who learned today of his sudden death join the organization of the Demo- crat in extending to his family their heartfelt sympathy in their sad bereavement. Previous to com ing to the Democrat MT Beck was employed in similar capacity on the American Republican and on the Naugatuck News.
 MT Beck is survived by his wife.

Bridgeport Leads
 In False Alarms
While Waterbury Has 73 for Year, Park City Points
 to Record of 80

partment The last one was at 12:21 o'clock yesterday morning.
 The Park City authorities have a ''lead' as to the identity of the, party responsible for the false. alarms in that city. Som cone in a phantom blue sedan" has been doing the work. In several in- stances persons awakened by the noise of falling glass as the key cover of a fire alarm box was smashed. heard the roar of g. mo- tor and saw a blue sedan speeding away and fire apparatus arrive 8 few minutes later.
 Chief Thomas F. Burns of Bridgeport, has estimated that it has cost the taxpayers of that city over $4,000 during the epidemic of calls. Chief Heitman of this city places an estimate of $50 on each fake alarm, which brings the total expense for Waterbury up to $3,- $50 for period of 13 months.
 Last evenings false alarm in this city was registered at 10:50 o'clock from Box 221 at the intersection of Cherry and High streets. Of the 73 registered during the year III occurred during the month of Mo- vember. December. is commence ing to loom as a strong contender for the dubious honor of being the busiest month for the pranks of someone who is risking Jail sem tence for his idea of fun.
 A coupe owned by Walter Brooks of Woodbury caught fire at 1886 o'clock this morning. Two com-i panies from fire headquarters re- sponded to the gall, but Mir Brooks and passer-by had practically extinguished the small blaze caused by short circuit.
 A dump fire on Lincoln street on. land owned by the c. H.Cables es- tate and brush fire at 1102 High land avenue were extinguished last evening.

1. Chicago, Dec. S.--(UP)--A thou sand years from now hurricanes. tornadoes and severe blizzards will be unknown, Dr. R. F. Wilson. former Massachusetts Institute of Technology professor believes.
