LP.-The slowly declining tendency OF
commodity prices, which has been in
evidence during the last few weeks
continued during this past week EVl-
dence of increasing stability is noted,
however. in the increasing number OF
individual groups which have shown no
change during the week.
All commodities, although declining
fractionally, largely rejected the re-
alignment of commodities Whlch mas

war levels attained by the majority OF
commodities and those which have been
affected by fluctuations in exchange.
Out of IA individual groups, 9 declined,
3 Increased and remained the same.
Industrial prices recorded negligible
decline, rejecting the irregular status OF
industrial activity, although actlVlty IN
December reached extremely low leVelS'
vet when the figures are interpreted IN
Terms of seasonal trend, they showed a
small increase over November, Although
the expected material upturn has been
slow in materializing this month, I'M
provement should continue STEADY, even
though slow. We are now IN the re-
construction period. Conditions have
been fully appraised, the necessary steps
to bring about improvement nave peeh
ascertained, and the stage Is now
reached where these steps are slowly
being effected. Most lines of business
have been thoroughly liquidated from
the standpoint Of high costs and wages
and have also discarded the ideas OF
peak operating capacity, which was SO
much in evidence in recent years.
1t will of necessity take time for
these remedies to effect an improve
ment, but, certainly they are bound to
again bring sound conditions with rs.
| ing commodity and security prices and
| enhanced corporate earnings.
Agricultural prices recorded a slight
upturn during the week. Speculative
activity in agricultural products has
been conspicuously absent during the
past year, but, due to the evident pos
! sibilities Of speculative profits, there VII
undoubtedly be greater activity in this
regard during this year.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO. January 23-Certatn diff
ferences between the situation here and
that in the United States are empha-
sized by the measures for the release
Of frozen credits across the border and
by the partial lifting Of the unofficial
embargo on the export Of Canadian
capital
According to outspoken criticisms
voiced by several Of the chartered banks
at their annual meetings here and in
Montreal, Canada Is suffering not so
much from frozen credit as from the
abuse Of too easy credit in the past,
especially that extended to public
bodies. These critics estimate the net
public debt OF the Dominion, including
federal, provincial and municipal bonds,
at 81, $50, 1000 900, total which includes
the $500 100000 of Canadian National
Railway bonds and $31 900, 900 of other
bonds guaranteed by the Dominion
government.
Consequently, these various govern
mentS are warned that there never
was a time in Canadian history when
1t was so necessary to avoid extrava-
gance of every kind and when all gov
erntng bodies should devote themselves
W IcOuClIlS lHe COSC OF administration
and to the balancing of their budgets"
Owing to the restrictions imposed
by the bank act upon the character
OF their investments. the Canadian
banks report an unusually large pro-
portion of their assets in the form of
liquid securities. Notwithstanding their
considerable number of branches in
South America, they have not become
loaded up with the deprecated securi-
ties Of the South American republics,
as have some of the banks across the
border. In fact, Canadian investments
abroad during 1881 amounted to only
$24 100000, and the foreign bonds rep
resented in this total were taken who'll
ly by brokerage or other private firms
and through them sold TO the investing
public. Even the balances of the Cana
dian banks in foreign countries drop
ped last year to s51, TAB, 900, or only
20 per cent Of that held at the end Of
1926.
The great difficulty perplexing the
Canadian banks at present is the Sc
curing of sufficient safe, commercial
loans to absorb the liquid funds that
they have on hand for investment.
Owing to the present quietness in
manufacturing, as well as in wholesale
and retail trade, there has been a
falling off again In the demand shogn
by ordinary business.

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN NARROW RANGE
U. S. Issues Show Steady
Trend in Contrast to
Other Groups.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, January 23.--United
States Government bonds tended to
frmneSs in today's brief market ses-
sion, but the remainder Of the list was
marked with considerable irregularity.
Railroad mortgages were under pres
sure at times, although offerings were
well absorbed and losses for the most
part were fractional. The low-priced
carriers and speculative issues extended
the decline which started late yester-
day. Trading was orderly and quiet,
however, and prices kept within mar
row range.
Among some Of the carrier liens that
participated in the saggtng movement
were Atchison As, Baltimore g. Ohio
4l2s, Illinois Central 434s, Missouri Pa
cific SIS of 1877, New York Central IS
and Pennsylvania general 412s. Bonds
inclined to resist included Chesapeake
e. Ohio 412s, Chicago & Northwestern
434s, st. Paul IS, Erie IS and Northern
Pacific As.
Modest gains were registered by
Standard Oil Of New York 4las, Sin
clair Oil 612s and Goodrich 5s. There
were declines in Shell Union OH SIS,
issues of Armour g. Co., Chile Copper
5s, International Match SIS, American &
Foreign Power SIS and American Tele-
phone IS. Gas and electric securities
firmed.
Foreign bonds were mixed. Uruguay
6s were strong, picking up 21a points
Sac Paulo Is, Colombia 6s and German
5l2S were soft. stock privilege issues
developed an uneven trend.

Pivotal Stocks.

NEW YORK, January 23.-(Spe-
ciaD.-The weakness in outstanding
shares like General Electric, United
States Steel, General Motors Atchison
and American Telephone & Telegraph
has made strong impression on the
trading element, as this group repre-
sents the leading speculative and in
vestment shares that give the market
its cue. There is no indication that
liquidation has been taking place in
any of these stocks except General
Electric. Most of the selling has been
for short account or to realize profits
accrued in the last two weeks. Even
at us low today, Telephone is 10 points
higher than in the early part of jan
uary and the same is true Of Atchison,
while Steel is up about points.

CHICAGO, Sept. 12.-Dr. Daniel

for prohibition, began a personal
search here today for his close
friend and associate, Colonel Ray
mond Robins, missing since start
ing for New York to keep an APP
pointment with President Hoover in

The first move of DR.. Polling after
his arrival today by airplane from
Portland, Ore, was to telephone
Mrs. Robins at Southwest Harbor,
Me. She has no clews to her hus-
bands whereabouts, DR.. Polling said
he was told.
Then DR.. Polling laid out his plan:
L am going to talk to each of
the seven persons here who have
said they saw Colonel Robins, he
said. IF I am convinced that any
of them did see him, 1 will be fairly
certain that my friend is i'll, and
can abandon theories that he met
with foul play at the hands Of boot
leggers or white Russians"
While he admitted he knew of a

Robins by underworld characters of

favored the illness or amnesia the
