STOCKS IRREGULAR
.. At SHORT SESSION
Talk of War in Far East Re.
suits in Cautious
/. Trading.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, January 30.-Mars was
manifestly an influence in the financial
markets today, but was primarily an
influence toward caution.
Price movements in securities were
narrow and hesitant and the stock mar
ket closed barely steady, with several
OF the prominent industrials slightly
lower. The turnover approximated half
a million shares for the short session.
Spectators, ready to grasp at straw
were enough impressed with vague talk
of war boom to bid up Atlas Power
and Dupont about a point. Dupont
was unable to maintain its gain and
closed up only a fraction net. The
market had an interval of firmness, in
sympathy with a strong opening of the
wheat market, but eased off in the last
few minutes, with General Electric
again heavy feature, sagging "a of a
point to a new low This stock has
been under pressure for fortnight, ap-
parently rejecting gloomy unofficial
earnings estimates.
Fractional losses predominated at the
finish, embracing such issues as Amer
ican Telephone, Southern Pacific, Con-
solidated Gas, American Can, Westing-
house, Union Pacific, Radio and Chesa-
peake g. Ohio. A gain of more than
a point in Eastman was lost later. Soft
spots were Western Union, off l, and
Auburn, off 3.
Dragging on Of the rail wage con-
ferences in Chicago remained as an un-
certain factor in the market, although
Wall Street is still confident of fairly
satisfactory agreement. The first 6S
railroads to report for December had
net operating income Of $26,836, 900, the
lowest in years, against s52.579,000 in
December Of 1880.

ing year. Mr.. Hoover has been at the
head of the National Savings & Trust
Co. for the past % years, having taken
charge of the institution in January,
1909 For seven years prior to that
time he was connected with the bank
in the capacity of attorney and trust
officer to which position he was elected
in 1902.
Before associating himself with the
National Savings & Trust, Mr.. Hoover
was for five yesrs vice president and
director of the Real -etate Title Insur-
ance Co., still retaining membership on
the board. Born and educated in the
National Capital, he is a graduate Of
the Georgetown University Law School.
After being admitted to the District OF

private practice, but to use his legal
knowledge in service of the financial

connected.

BUILDING OUTLOOK
HELD UNFAVORABLE {
High Costs, Scarce Money and
Lack of Demand Are Re-
tarding Revival.
special Dispatch to The Star.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 30-With rela-
lively high costs for building materials.
with wages still above the July, 1929,
level with freight rates up, with little
money available for building loans and
with a lack Of demand evidenced by
ubiquitous vacancies, the outlook for the
building industry is dismal according to
the current Business Conditions Weekly
of the Alexander Hamilton Institute.
Prices of building materials have
dropped only 242 per cent since July,
1929, whereas the general commodity
price dropped 1928 per cent, structural
steel about only 10 per cent. Material
costs to builders, however, have not
dropped as low as prices quoted by
producers, because railroads, instead of
making a corresponding reduction in
freight rates, have actually raised rates
In the case of lumber, for instance, it is
estimated that the cost of transporta-
ton often represents $50 per cent OF
the price Of lumber at the mill
Wages of labor, despite scattered
cuts here and there, are still practically
at the peak and are still above the
July. 1929, level Because Of somewhat
greater labor efficiency, partly induced
by machinery, the eventual drop in
wages may not quite have to equal that
OF material
Labor and material costs combined
have to drop 1876 per cent to conform
with the general price level, and more
II the general price level declines
further.
1T is questionable, however" says
the institute, whether a drop In build
ing costs to the commodity price level
would be sufficient to start a building
revival. The building recovery which
followed the depression of 1921 came
after building costs had fallen 148 per
cent below the lowest point reached by
the commodity price average. This sug-
gests that building costs may have to
drop 28.9 per cent below the present
level and 423 per cent below the 1921
level before the building industry will
be in position to stage any pronounced
recovery. This, moreover, does not take
into account the possibility of a further
decline in the commodity price level"

JAPANESE BOYS
GIVE EXHIBITION
AT POST MEETING

"Gekken". is the password today
for members of Boyce Aten post,
American Legion, according to
Harry Woodbury., commander, who
explains that "gekken" is the name
of the Japanese fencing art, an
exhibition of which formed the
highlight of last nights post meet
ing.
A group of 20 japanese youths
under the leadership of Carl K.
Seto, treasurer of the senior class
at high school, accompanied by
their instructor, N. Koike, took
part in the exhibition, which is
given to Japanese youths through
out the valley by Koike.
"Gekken" represents the old
Samurai spirit of Japan and was
brought into existence over $500
years ago.
The contestants, with K. Nami-
XII acting as umpire, put on spirit
ed contests, carrying out the full
Vigor of the art. A feature partic-
ularly pleasing to the Legion
naires, the salute to the flag as
the contestants took their places
and retired therefrom, is a part
of the ceremony incidental to the
contests, and carrying out the
spirit of patriotism which is the
intention of the art. The Amer
ican flag was used whereas the
Japanese colors are used in the old
country, and the youngsters left
no doubt Of their loyalty to the
stars and stripes.
Mariana Ceb1 and Precelino
Garcia gave a three round boxing
exhibition, which went over big
with the Legion men, the decision
being draw.
The entertainment followed a
snappy business meeting at which
plans for the posts participation
III the Armistice day program and
other matters were discussed.

former commander of the post,
complimented Commander Wood
bury and other officers on the bus

FIRE In TUNNEL.
EXTINGUISHED BY
RAILROAD CREW

! FLAMES were eXtingulshed in tun-
mel No. on the San Diego and Ari-
zona railway in Carriso Gorge
] yesterday and railway engineers
are inspecting the ruins in an al
tempt to ascertain the extent of the
damage.
Fire was discovered at midnight
Thursday night in the 1900 foot
tunnel and both openings were
sealed in a successful attempt to
smother the flames.
The scene of the fire was the
same as that of the slide in
1920 which occurred shortly after
the road was opened for service.
The presence of the old bore is said
to make repairs difficult at this
time.
Engineers are said to be consid-
ering the advantages of a new bore
through the mountain as opposed
to repairs of the old tunnel. Rock
fell into the opening when timbers
were burned away in the recent
fire.
Origin of the fire is unknown
and the extent of the damage has
not been determined, according to
railway officials.
Tri-Weekly train service between
Ell Centre and points near the dam
aged tunnel is maintained by the
San Diego and Arizona. The trains
transport supplies, freight and ex-
press. Transcontinental passengers
and freight are routed to San Di-
ego via Los Angeles.

BURNHAM WILL
STAGE TWO-DAY
CAMPAIGN HERE

Two days of active campaigning
throughout Imperial county will
begin tomorrow by George Burn
ham, Republican candidate fer
congress in this district. His
schedule includes addresses over
radio station KXO here, tomorrow
and Friday nights, 6 40 o'clock.
Burnham is we'll acquainted in
the valley, through business and
ranehing contacts covering a per-
iod of 25 years. His son, Harold
A. Burnham, Ell Centre business
man, has been resident here for
about II years.

visits in Westmorland, Brawley and
Calipatria tomorrow, in company
with Dewey Carey, chairman of
the Imperial County Republican
Central committee. Burnham will
spend Friday in this city, Calexi-
co, Imperial and Holtville.

situation looked good in San Di-

said, for the luncheon given in
San Diego Monday, to further his
candidacy. Nearly 300 San Diego
county citizens attended, and tele-
grams predicting an Imperial coun-
ty majority for him were received
from Mrs. Ross T. Hickeox and

said:
II have every confidence in the
world that George Burnham will
ably and successfully represent this
district in the congress of the

body qualified to be the successor
of the late Congressman William
Kettner, it is much more likely to
be Burnham than anybody else in
this congressional district"
