RAILS HEAD Up
!. IN SLUGGISH
I. MARKET
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. 81 GNSO
"A slight strengthening of the rail
road stocks and specialties, and
moderate reaction in a few of the
wellknown industrials, including
General Electric, were the fea.
lures of an extremely dull and in
active market this morning.
! With an apparent deadlock in
the war debt and reparations ne.
Eotiations on the other side, and
little progress in the railway wage
conference at home, the two
sources from which the stock
market expected to derive its in,
spiration failed to come through" ."
Some Gains in Rails
! New Haven, Atchison, New York
Central, and few other active
rails moved ahead fractionally.
Selling of General Electric was
promptly resumed, and the stock
fell off to 215s, only fractionaIly
above yesterdays low.
The New York city traction
stocks responded with slightly
higher prices to reports Of a pos.
sible acquisition of the elevated
and subway lines by the city ana
their operation under a higher
fare schedule.
United States Steel sold frac-
tionally above 46 and at least IS
displaying no special temerity
over the dividend action OF the
directors at next Tuesdays meet
ing.
New Haven's rise to new high
at 3O7a was feature of the
popular rails.
Regains Slump Loss
In the early January slump
this stock fell to around 1742
and it has therefore regained all
of its year-end loss. New York
Central was in good demand at
S5 and Union Pacific above 81
Dull and irregular movements
characterized the automobile, cop
per, oil and public utility stocks.
Bonds were irregular, cotton a
few points higher and call money
unchanged at 2la per cent.

ST.PETERSBURG
PLANS LAID

The st. Petersburg (Fla.) bond
holders committee has submitted
to city officials plan with re-
spect to payment Of bond interest
pending refunding of the princi"
pal amount after completion Of
liquidation of certain assets.
Under this plan the tax levy is
fixed at Is mills and in order
to protect property owners who
pay their taxes, bondholders would
rely upon enforcement Of de-
linquent taxes for so much Of the
current interest as is not provided
by cash collections.
The plan would begin October
1, 1882, and would continue for
two fiscal years unless agreement
should be reached before that time
on a refunding proposal.
Principal would be funded or
extended at the expiration of that
period at terms agreed upon. and
all interest in default on October
1, 1892, would be funded on that
date through delinquent tax obll'
cations.

upon to buy most Of these Gov
ernment notes.
Probably this is one reason why
the Reserve Banks have marked
down the rate on bankers accept
ance bills. They figure that it
will make forthcoming Govern
ment issues more attractive to
the hanks.
AS yet, however, the banks have
shown little if any response. They
are mostly against initiation of all
sorts. They are not yet in a
really liquid condition. and della
ton of the 1929 initiation still
goes on.
Cash Resources Low
This, unquestionably, means
that the cash resources Of the
banks have been reduced. It means
an increased strain.
The member banks should not
be forced to borrow more from
the reserve. They know it. They
are now facing the facts. They
should not yield to political pres
sure or to the inflationist theories
of certain Reserve officials,

Washington Opinion
Reported Optimistic

A careful survey of Washington

the current period marks the low
point of the depression, provided
the new Government loan policy
is not made the excuse for reck-
less expanion during the next
month or two. says the Standard
Statistics Co., of New York, in a

To National Board

G. G. Christianson, manager of the
local Ingwalson Company store, was
elected to the board of directors of
the National Merchants association,

at the Hotel Radlsson in Minneapolis.
The election of officers took place at

with a place on the board of direc-

Mr.. Christensen returned Monday

exceeded by 160 the attendance for
the entire Market week celebration
a year ago.
Not only was the general attend
ance we'll ahead of 1881, but more
significant, the crowds were bigger
at all the business and educational
sessions. This is interpreted as evil
dencine stronger interest among re-
tallars in modern method of sales and
advertising, and 4 determination to
cor4bfne scientific practices with hard
work to create better business in
stead of waiting for it to come.
