STOCKS SHOW GAIN
IN SMALL MARKET
Firm Undertone Character
ICES List, but Changes Are
Mostly Fractional.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

ASSOCldLeQ FreSS
NEW YORK, January 21.-The stock
market was more inclined to edge up
ward today than otherwise, but on the
whole was stagnant.
Trading was in extremely small
volume, with a tournover for the two
hour session of about 350,000 shares,
and fractional gains and losses were
mixed through the list at the finish.
The average net change was unimpor-
tant
Car Loadings.
The weekly report of freight car load
mgs, showing fair seasonal gain, was
too closely in keeping with expectations
to affect the market. Week end busi-
ness news generally failed to shed any
new light on the outlook and markets
still adhered to a notwithstanding at
titude. While steel production has had
a fair seasonal upturn from the low
levels Of the holiday period. some re-
ports indicated that the gain may be
held with some difficulty in the next
week or so.
The market showed traces Of firm
ness during the first half Of the ses-
sion. when a number of issues gained
fractions to more than a point. Some
selling appeared in the leaders in the
late trading. however, and the close
was barely steady
American Telephone weakened in the
last hour. closing down major frac-
ton. Wall Street estimates place 1882
net at around 81 share, but a sub
stantial portion Of that represented
dividends paid from surplus by sub
sidiaries, so the actual earnings were
we'll under the SO annual dividend
rate
Selling of Consolidated Gas again ap-
peared in small volume, and that issue
closed off a minor fraction. Selling of
this issue has been rather puzzling to
Wall Street, and has been attributed to
investment trust or institutional
sources United States Steel was off a
small fraction at the finish, as was
Union Pacific. Rails as a group held up
we'll however, closing with a generally
steady tone. Farm implements were
firm for a time, but lost their gains in
the later trading
fraction. Corn Products was up IL
at the best, but lost half its rise. Lg-
gett & Myers B closed about a point
higher. Crown Cork and Owens Illinois
Glass were up major fractions at the
close.
Commodity Changes.
The car load1ngS report, Tor the week
ended January IA. was the first of the
new year which was not distorted by
the holidays. The total, 506,322 cars,
was 70,670 cars above the previous
week and 66,327 under the like week of
last year. It was 1112 per cent under
1882 and about 80 per cent under 1881
In commodities cotton eased little
in the later trading, closing 10 to 35
cents a bale lower. In foreign ex-
charges Sterling cables ruled Il higher
at S3.357s. and the European gold cur
rencies were mostly firm, particularly

NEW YORK, May 20-Joseph w

appeared Friday, was found alive to-
day at the Old orchard Inn, Roslyn
IL. l. police announced.
Harriman's relatives would not
Immediately accept the Identified
ton, and awaited more definite word
from Roslyn police.
Dead or alive, the missing banker
has been sought today throughout
the city. in former Long Island
haunts and near his New Jersey
birthplace at Belleville.
Flight Is Suspected
At first, when it was learned that
five notes intimating suicide had
been left behind by Hartman, it
was taken for granted that he had
gone to die. But Friday night
federal authorities learned that
when he disappeared, walking with
hating step, from the nursing home
where he was being cared for, Har-
riman went to the barber shop of
Alfred Rammacca, few doors
away and had his gray hair clipped
as actors sometimes do when their
roles require wigs.
Armed with that information
twenty federal agents joined the
hunt.
Hartman. former president of the
closed Hartman National bank, was
scheduled to go to trial Monday
on federal charges of making
fraudulent entries in the banks
books to conceal operations in the
institutions securities.
Bail Nav Be Forfeited
His case would have been post
poned, because the Charles E. Nit
chell trial is taking the attention
of all bank experts of the federal
prosecutors Office. But if Hartman
does not appear Monday, his bail
of 5000 will be subject to forfeit
Harrimans intimates and adj
visors pictured him as the victim OF
a heart ailment which made it GER
tain that he could not live more
than a year. His mind had been
affected, one of his physicians said
by illness and worry.
Yet, alone and with only $50 in
his pockets, he was able yesterday
to walk out of the Regent Nursing
home, explaining that he was going
to make a purchase at the corner
then to hide himself in some retreat
where the entire police force could
not find him.
George S. Leisure, Harriman's at
torney, said the once wealthy
banker had no resources of impor
lance left, no bank account on
which he could draw, and no home
to which he might go.
Hartman is a son of the late
John Nelson Hartman and a
nephew of the late E. H. Hartman
famous railroad financier.
