SECOND SLUMP

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
/. NEW YORK, Jan. 13 QN.SJ.
The last embers of over-enthu-
siasm in Wall Street were
uuenched yesterday by the mar
ket's second successive reaction.
i Now spectators can look at
things more sanely and realize
stocks have been a little over
,bulled at this early stage Of the
game. The correction won't do
the market any harm and will
Iprovide a better buying oppor.
tlInity; but wait and see how far
the sell-off will go.
One broker gives the sound
advice of sticking only to the
leaders with broad markets and
staying away from the lesser
known and thin issues.
\ And at the same time, q word
of caution about foreign bonds
would be advisable. Recent
strength in German issues par.
iticularly has been whetting the
speculative appetite for European
and other foreign obligations. In
discriminate buying here is apt to
prove costly, and the wise ones
would do well to get competent
advice before risking their money.
But then, there are so many op.
portunities in American bonds
that it is difficult to see why one
should go afield.
The buying in B. M. T. and
Traction bonds yesterday was Of
the type that would be called
smart. In the case Of the for
mer, there is the possibility an
early refunding of its floating
debt might be arranged. This
would pave the way for resump-
ton of dividends on the common.
Earnings are ample.
Z Sluggishness of Chesapeake and
Ohio despite speculative bullish.
hess on the stock may be due to
the company's investment in
Nickel Plate, Pere Marquette, and
other roads that will become part
Of the c. & o. system under the
Eastern consolidation plan.

BY THEODORE KoSLow

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 u.N.S0. +.
The curb market showed inde-
cisiveness today, with steadiness
IN the active favorites and ir-
regularity in the main body Of
stocks obscuring the underlying
trend.
DulIness Extremed
The favorable point Of the pro-
ceedings from the bullish angle,
was the extreme dullness which
accompanied the irregular sagging
IN the first half Of the session.
Moreover, there was evidence
that continued Scale-down buy.
ing was taking place by interests
presumably on the constructive
side in the early stages Of this
advance.
&, Leading utility issues such as
AmericaA Gas and Electric, and
Electric Bond and Share main
tanned a firm tone. The Cities
6ervice 5 per cent debentures Of
1850 ran up full point to 3Sss.
Bonds Are Mixed
Great Atlantic and Pacific
Stores, in an irregularly lower spe-
cially group moved up 21a points
to 1541a, offset by a decline Of 2
points in New York Steam to 40.
\ OILS and investment trusts
were more or less neglected.

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
My mother-in-law is going to
celebrate her fiftieth wedding
anniversary. I would like to
know the proper dress for her
to wear. P.
Your mother-in.law would
probably like to wear a dress Of
a semiformal type for this i'm.
portant occasion. It might well
and appropriately be one Of the
general type now so fashionable
and adaptable. .one Of the
grandest things that have ever
happened in clothes, think. ..
the ensemble Of a sleeveless Cor
not) dress with a small match
ing jacket. . Then she could
wear the jacket during the oc-
casion, or remove it, as she
wishes.
Or her dress might be of the
dresSy afternoon type, if she
doesn't have the ensemble. It
may be of crepe Of some inter.
esting weave; or Of satin, If she
is inclined to be thin rather
than large; or Of lace, which is
very lovely for just such an oc.
casion.
And it would be Of any shade
becoming to her. Women of
this age usually like gray very
much. Does she? Or beige, or
a lovely shade Of blue, or a
burgundy red.
