STOCKS HES|TANT
|NDULL TRADING
Aircraft Shares Are Only
Feature as Market Absorbs
Realizing.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, January 27-Activity
OF aircraft issues was the only feature
OF todays rather dun stock market
proceedings. The so-called leaders
mulled about indecisively. There was
some further profit taking apparent.
but on the whole, this was absorbed
without any great difficulty. The close
was slightly irregular. Transfers ap-
proximated 1,l50,000 shares.
The flying field drew the largest
number of speculative adherents. The
interest here was attributed partly to
the expectations of large Army and
Navy orders. Grain, cotton and other
commodities were fairly firm, but trad
ing in the staples was quiet. The dol
lar reacted in foreign exchange dealings
as the gold-buying activities of the
Federal Reserve attracted attention
both at home and abroad. Bonds
showed signs of mild improvement.
Shares of Wright Aeronautical, yes
terday's. star odd-lot performer, jumped
% points and then dropped the major
portion of the gain. The issue Is
closely held but, aside from this and
renewed hopefulness for the aircraft
industry. traders could give no specific
reason for its activity. Douglas Air

OInerS OF tFllS group advanced 1ractlOn-

Pacific yielded some ground. The utili-
ties did virtually nothing and the metals
and most of the rails were hesitant.
Stocks of the communications COM
panies were not particularly stirred by
publication of the report to the Presi-
dent on regulation of the various syS-
TENS. Most of the features of the re-
port it was said. had already been gen.
orally known and discounted.
Recommendations that private own
ership OF the companies be continued
under some form Of Government regu-
lation and that some further extension
of permission to merge be granted, 1t

CHICAGO, ILL.,, January 27.-Grains
opened quietly today at prices almost
unchanged from yesterdays close.
Trading was narrow with price changes
later narrow. The May delivery fuc-
tuated within a range Of 3s-cent.
Wheat was unchanged to 1s lower at
the start and later changed but little.
Corn was "a off to 1s up and also
changed slowly.
Little interest was displayed in the
market during the first half hour. Spec
ulators were inclined to set on the side
lines pending further developments in
the monetary situation at Washington
and commission houses were doing busi-
ness only on small scale. Later,
however, some buying orders appeared
and wheat strengthened moderately.
The buying was induced largely by
reports from the Southwest that rail-
road officials, already alarmed at the
abnormally small grain tonnage last
Fall, are reporting the need of moisture.
The reports from railroad sources indi-
cate that moisture has seldom been
needed more than at present. Corn
and oats generally followed the lead
of wheat, dragging at the start and
later f1rming up on scattered buying.
Provisions were about steady. follow

Seventh Federal Reserve district
Reports Total 20 Per Cent
Above Close of 1882.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January 27.-Employment
in the seventh Federal Reserve district
at the close of 1888 was more than
20 per cent greater than a year before,
and stood about parallel with the close
of 1881.
The monthly business survey of the
Chicago Federal Reserve Bank said the
rise Of per cent from November to
December was largely due to return
of about 10000 Michigan automobile
workers to jobs after lay-offs in
November
December pay rolls, the Reserve Bank
reported, were 2l2 per cent higher than
November Metals. foods, leather and
paper and printing industries advanced

There was a moderately active de-
mand at the opening with the trade
buying near months, but 1t was sup
piled by realizing or scattered selling.
and business tapered off after the call
Failure OF buyers to follow the opening
advance more aggressively seemed a
disappointment to recent holders which
probably accounted for some liquidation,
while there was also little selling here
for foreign account. Prices sagged
few points, March reacting from IL %
to 11.18. The market showed net ad-
vanceS of 2 to 3 points at the end of
the first half hour. Steadiness of
Liverpool was attributed by private
cables TO trade calling and local sup
port, but houses with Liverpool con-
nectionS sold a little cotton here at
the opening.
