New York, January 20 --- (UP) ..--Ejxtreme caution on the part Of stock market traders brought trad sing volume to mere routine af- fair today and prices moved aim { lessly.
 There was q bit of selective buy. ing and a bit of sclective selling,
 but on the whole the operations were apparently held to minimum limits.
 Liggett & Myers shares furnished sthe bright spot while General Elec- Uric provided the weak feature. Buying of Liggett shares followed declaration of $1 extra dividend on the common and shares, the us- sual custom at this time of the year, The company reported 1881 net in- come nearly equal to l930-$23,- 131.3S2, against $24,o02,315 - and the street considered the report highly favorable. The common stock rose to 55 up l 1-2 and the A to 57 up IA points.
 General Electric was driven down to q new low for the present .shares at 2l 3-S off l 5-s, the issue still being under the influence of the 1891 sales report which showed a sharp contraction from the 193h figure.

 Storrs, Local Agents.)
 Wednesday, Jan. 20-For IS states growing q commercial early or intcrm ediate potato crop, the reported January 1 plans indicate a prospective planting of 256, ,030 acres, which would be about 23 per cent less than the 1881 acre. age according to the Bureau of Agricultural Economies. If these intentions are carried out 1t will mean an acreage slightly below the reductcd acreage otf 1929.
 Reports received from growers this year in the early potato sec- tions show a greater degree of un- certainty concerning plans for the approaching seasons plantings than has prevailed for several years past. Although expenses will average lower on many inn portant items entering into the cost of producing potatoes, credit is restricted and the difficulty of se- curing the usual financing to grow q crop is reflected in a majority of the reports.
 The egg market continued weak and prices in q few instances tend ing lower. Since the opening of the week there have been a number of indications. however, that the bulk of fresh eggs from nearby have been sufficiently reduced in price to satisfy buyers and demand is catching up with supply.
