STOCKS IRREGULAR

Leading Issues Register Low
Marks for Year-LoSses

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February A. Heavy
selling Of General Motors common stock,
on which dividend action is to be taken
Monday, was the feature of dull and
unimpressive stock market today.
The new low price for the year
reached in General Motors suggested
to the speculative element that the
present dividend of ST share, which
is also being paid by Chrysler Motors
and Nash Motors, may be reduced or
even omitted next week.
There were also significant move
ments in other pivotal issues, such as
General Electric and American Tele-
phone & Telegraph. both of which
were quoted at minimum figures for
1888, and numerous fractional changes
that brought other stocks down into a
lower price area. The only one of these
that was directly affected by the days
developments was Ohio Oil, whose divi-
dend was omitted.
Stocks started today at lower level,
with quite heavy losses for these times
in American Can, Allied Chemical and
]. I. Case. American Telephone was
fractionally above par but soon dropped
below this figure, duplicating Fridays
minimum price. Consolidated Gas of
New York, Public Service of New Jer-
Sey, Western Union. North American
and Standard Gas & Electric were under
moderate pressure and still influenced
sentimentally by the Roosevelt an
nouncement on the Muscle Shoals
project.
Rail stocks were affected by the heav-
mess elsewhere in the list and gradually
lost a considerable part Of the previous
days gain. The statement of car load
ings for the week ended January %
showed a reduction of nearly 16 per
cent from the same period of 1882, COM
cared with loss of less than II per
cent a week ago The big decrease was
again in high-grade merchandise
freight
Stocks of the gold mining companies
held steady bat did not make the con-
spicuous gains shown during other ses-
sions this week.
The week end iron and steel statistics
indicated that production for the coun-
try was around 10 per cent of capacity
and would have been considerably better
ter were it not for the strike in Detroit.
Sears, Roebuck sales for four weeks
ended January 29 showed a decrease
of about 17la per cent compared with
over l9 per cent in the same period
Of the previous year. An additional
s2,245. COO of gold was received today. of
which the larger part came from India.
There were no important movements
in the foreign exchanges. Sterling was
slightly higher, as were francs, with

count of about l6 per cent

TREASURY DEFICIT
DROPS $241,OOO,OOO
Department Report Shows Govern
ment Less Sin Red" February /
Than It Was Year Ago.

BY the Associated Press.
The Treasury reached the beginning
of February with a deficit of sl,271,-
72l, ,O3O. or about s241, ,OOO, 900 less than
it was 'in the red" year ago, it was
revealed by the latest Treasury state
ment.
What proportions this deficit will as
sumo during the remainder Of the
present fiscal year is purely conjec-
tural, as receipts during the last five
months will be based on the higher in
come tax rates provided by the reve-
nue. act enacted last year.
The trend of business during the last
half of 1882 was encouraging in many
respects. but failed to raise much en-
thusiasm with respect to important
gains in public receipts, which are
based on incomes for the year.
Latest Treasury figures make it ap-
pear the new administration will take
over the affairs of the land with
public debt in the neighborhood of
s21 ,000. 900 900, or only S2,000,000.-
600 less than when President Harding
took the reins in 1921.

Ever since business rose from the ex-

last Summer, the trend has been steady,
the United Business Service of Boston
points out. For 20 weeks the gains and
declines in the various components of
trade and industry have about balanced
out. and volumes have fiuctuated in the
narrow range between As and Al per
cent below normal It is the opinion
of the service that business will not de-

: rapid increases are expected, but the
prospects seem favorable that business
will start working out of the "depres-
sion trough" slowly during 1888.

tural commissioner, cantaloupe,
honey dew and honey ball acreage
for the coming season amounts tc
35,72l acres. This is about 1000
acres less than 1882, the greater
decrease in cantaloupe acreage be-
ing in the late paintings. Brush
covered melons show almost 100 per
cent increase. However, indications
are that there will pe very little
difference between the harvesting
time of brush covered and paper
covered melons. Most damage due
to freezing injury was the chilling
of small plants, retarding the rapid
vine growth necessary for early
melons. Certain areas suffered Sc
verely making necessary the re-
planting of entire fields.
Aphis infestations over the entire
valley have been more severe than
for a number of years. Peas, alfal-
ia, citrus and melons are the crops
most affected by them. Fifty-six
sacks of lady bug beetles have been
brought into the valley from the
mountains in San Bernardino coun-
ty and released over infested areas
as control measure. Ladybug beet

noted after releasing the beetles.
