Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 25.-Breaking
out OF the narrow range that marked
initial dealings, the Curb Exchange
turned active and higher today.
The two principal stock groups, pub
lie utilities and petroleums, however,
provided a relatively small percentage
OF the rise that started at the beginning
Of the second hour Electric Bond &
Share was up fractionally, but Cities
Service was lower and Standard OIL OF
Indiana was unchanged.
Electrical output last week was lower
than IN the preceding seven days, while
both gasoline inventories and crude oil
production in the same period increased
over the previous week. These unfavor-
able trade trends only moderately af-
fected these two stock lists. Specific
corporate developments, however, were
recorded on the tape.
Thus the start of hearings on the
Niagara Hudson power group Thursday
by the Federal Trade Commission for a
time caused those shares to be offered
Tampa Electric, as forecast recently by
the stock, declared its regular common
quarterly dividend.

EXPANSION IN STEEL

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, January 25-Steel max
ing operations continue to expand slow
ly this weeks production of ingots be-
ing estimated at II per cent of the
country's capacity, Iron Age said to-
day. A gain of about l percentage
point has occurred each week since the
beginning of the new year.
The most striking changes have oc-
CURED at Chicago and Cleveland. In the
Chicago district, where output had re-
manned at about per cent of capacity
since the week before Christmas, the
rate has risen sharply to IA per cent
because of a more diversified demand
as well as considerab BILE support from
the automobile industry, while at Cleve-
land steel-making has increased from
Al to A per cent on an influx of or
ders for bars from the motor car max
ers The Pittsburgh district has alsc
gained moderately, but operations in
the valleys are lower than last week
owing to the idleness of one Of the
plants in that district Elsewhere oper-
ations are holding their own or have

ATTACK 0NDOL[AR
AMUSES BANKERS
Furry in Exchange Market
Laid to Activities of Spec
uIative Ring.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 25.-The for
eign exchange market today presented q
curious jigsaw puzzle of cross currents.
as most of the worlds leading gold cur
rencies showed measure Of weakness,
while managed" or non-gold curren-
cies suddenly blossomed forth with a
hidden show of strength.
The dollar sagged in terms of the
British pounds sterling and currencies
linked with sterling. such as the Nor
wegian monies, and even the Spanish
peseta. The procedure was described In
leading banking circles like that of q
cat chasing mouse, when suddenly the
mouse turns and puts the cat to rout
The explanation offered in high Wall
Street banking quarters was that q
strong international speculative ring,
which every now and then has been
making stab at some currency, de-
cided that the time was propitious,
the rounds about imitation, to start SELL
ing the god currencies. The daring Of
the enter:rise, it was said in these same
leading banking quarters, was exceeded
only by the unorthodox method Of spec
ulation. Ordinarily. speculation is con-
fined to selling the weaker currencies,
not the stronger.
Bankers appeared to derive some en-
tertainment from the maneuver. al
though they decried the spreading of
imitation rumors. saying they have the
effect Of chilling business enterprise
Buyers and sellers. they explained, are
hesitant about signing longterm con-
tracts if doubt Is entertained as to the
validity Of the currency.
They expressed their belief, however,
that the present movement would not
continue long, because responsible bank
ing heads in Europe realize that, the two
major political parties in the United
States are both pledged, in their pre-
election platforms. to sound-money
policies.

BY CHARLES F. SPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January 25.-The weak
spot in today's bond market was In
the group of amusement company secur-
1ties. Nearly all of these were under
pressure and sold not only at new low
prices Tor the year. but at the lowest
average in their history. The receiver
ship for the Radio-Keith-O -Orpheum

further liquidation in this part OF the
list.
Declines of a point occurred in Para
mount-Publix 5l2s and Keith IS. The
heaviest loss was that Of AZ points in

Other induStrialS were irregular, with
some good gains among them. U. S.
Rubber SIS rose over points, which
more than recovered Tuesdays loss.
Schulco gained 2 points. international
Paper IS declined nearly point and
were about the same amount above the
years low. Youngstown Sheet & Tube
SIS were heavy, United Drug SIS rose a
point and Tobacco Products 612s ap-
proximated their high of the year.

corner Of the room in which Lee was mar
ried and has an intimacy and charm Of its
own. 1t is painted little more broadly per-
haps than is Mr. Bittingers wont, but with his
fine sense of fact and effect. From the long
window with its dark drapery to the right,
floods Of light pour in and play across the wide
doorway and plastered wall
Mr.. Bittinger who is deeply interested in the
science of color and is freely and frankly called
upon by the leading scientists for cooperation
in this field has made a speciality of painting
interiors. He is represented by an interior OF
the Boston Athenaeum in the Metropolitan
Museums permanent collection. Another paint
ing of the main reading room in the athenaeum
hangs at the present time in his mothers home
in this city-an exceptionally fine work, very
elaborate, very satisfactory. He has also paint
ed rooms in the White House. the hallway OF
the Library of Congress and in other public
and semi-public buildings, finding such in this
country of no less interest and charm than
those which Walter Gay has found and inter
preted in Paris
