BLACK CLAIM

Walter S. Steele, general man.
ager of the National Republican
Publishing Company, today de-
MED that Robert I. Black, editor
of the Maryland News, is to revive
the National Republican news
paper.
Black had announced his resig-
nation from the Maryland News
and said he would edit the Ma.
tional Republican.
Steele declares his company
owns the name of the paper, for
merly published by the late
George B. Lockwood, and will not
permit its use.
The National Republican Pub
fishing Company publishes the
National Republic Magazine, a
conversion of and successor to the
newspaper. Steele's statement to-
day said:
1T appears that the publicity
behind Mr.. Blacks anticipated
enterprise is so planned as to
OSSSH AAA UAA WIG SUOUWAlA vi GUG

"The officers of the National
Republican Publishing Com
pany have not negotiated with
Mr.. Black or any of his repre-
sentativeS regarding the sale of
its business nor regarding the
appointment of him as editor
or in any other capacity"
Black had not said he was re-
tained by the publishing com
pany, but announced his inten-
ton to publish paper under the
same name as that established
by the late Mr.. Lockwood and
published by the National Re-
publican Publishing Company.

CHICAGO January 13.-Fresh down.
turns of Chicago grain values early to-
day followed new Setbacks in wheat
quotations at Liverpool. Argentine
shippers were reported offering wheat
urgently in efforts to dispose of as much
as possible before British quota plans
would be put into effect.
Opening 1s7s lower, Chicago wheat
futures continued to sag. Corn started
B-A down and afterward went lower
Wheat market weakness developed in
Northwest and West, with temperatures
in some cases showing fall of SIS de-
grees in "a hours. Experts said that
unless preceded by snow, the severity
of the change would be likely to prove
disastrous to the growing wheat of the
Ohio Valley in particular. 1t was
added, however, that the snow factor
would largely determine market effects.
Moderate rallies which took place
after early declines in wheat were asso-
ciated more or less with reports that
France had agreed to buy 30,000,000
bushels of wheat from Canada. These
reports, though, were denied by Cana

CURB SHARESF|RM
IN STEADY MARKET
Prospect of Easy Money
Rates Proves Help to
Securities.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 13.-Stocks on
the Curb Exchange firmed today with
other security markets following a quiet
and virtually unchanged opening. Pros
poets of an early easing Of money rates,
especially the New York Federal Re-
serve Bank rediScount rate, contributed
10 q resumption of the advance on the
Curb, as it did in other markets.
Electric Bond & Share was up more
than half point at times. Cities Serv-
ice rose a small fraction. Standard Oh
of Indiana was up slightly, along with
Gulf Oil. American Superpower and
Electric Power & Light option warrants
also flrmed.
A gain in car loadings above the
seasonal trend, a further advance in
copper prices, and the huge attendance
reported at the automobile show here
had varying effects on the respective
stock classifications. Penroad Corpo-
ration was the only active carrier issue.
In the coppers Newmont Mining was
lower and so were some OF the lower
priced red metal mining companies.
Gold shares turned upward on In
creased demand Aluminium Co. of
America ran up about points. Motor
stocks Jagged during the first two
hours, but showed signs of pointing
higher as the session wore on.
Curb exchange stocks were virtually
unchanged at the opening, though such
price changes as did occur revealed an
upward trend.
Electric Bond & Share at 11& was
a small fraction better. American
Superpower started unchanged at A.
Utilities. such as Electric Power &
Light. Middle West Utilities and United
Light g. Power A, were unchanged
Cities Service at 81 was off fraction
ally, but Gulf Oil of Pennsylvania at
30h and other oil shares were un-
changed.
In the mine group, Newmont lost
nearly a point at l3. Motor stocks were
inactive, with Cord a shade lower at
7l2 and Ford Motor Ltd a shade lower
at 57s. Gas company stocks we're un-
changed United Gas was in supply AT
az, but held well. Industrials were
inactive.
