NEW YORK, Feb. 16.-Metal
shares led the stock market into
higher territory at the opening to-
day with trading fairly active. Gains
ranged from fractions to a point.
United States Smelling opened at
new high at 1884, up z, and
continued to rise in the early trad
ing. Howe Sound opened at so, up
:. on block of 1900 shares; Cerro
De Pasco 3934, up Is on 1000
shares; Phelps Dodge 1874, up 4 on
1000 shares; Anaconda 1712, un-
changed on 5000 shares; Mcintyre
Porcupine Az, up Il; Noranda
Mines 352s, up Is; Kennecott 227s.
unchanged, and American Smelling
5012, unchanged.
Automobile issues were fairly
active and firm as were amusementS.
Steel shares we're higher with
United States Steel at 583s, up %,
and Bethlehem 1875, up Il. Farm
equipments, mail order shares,
chemicals, oils and rails made small
gains.
Douglas Aircraft frmed nearly a
point to PAS in firm aviation
group. Wet stocks were unsettled
but changes were only fractional.
During the early trading volume
continued heavy. Quotations were
abbreviated and the tape Jagged be-
hind the market. Prices f1rmed from
the opening levels, still featured by
the silver shares. The latter were
inspired by further gains in the
price of silver metal
There was nothing in the news
to affect the market. The annual
report of American Telephone and
Telegraph Company showing earn
ings at $737 a share, against 1872
a share in 1882, was in line with
expectations. Traders were of the
opinion the stock Exchange regu-
lation bill would be modified, a fac
tor which induced some short COW
ering and brought in new buying
power from small traders.

AS UTILITIES EASE
Industrial and Railroad
Shares Are Narrow.
A. 7. & T. Down.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer


NEW YORK, December 26.-A re-
sumption of selling in utility shares
unsettled the stock market today. In
duStrials and rails ruled narrow, how
ever. American Telephone, Console
dated Gas and American Can lost a
point or more. U. S. Steel was slightly
lower, while Santa Fe, General Motors
and Westinghouse were fairly steady.
The late tone was irregular. Trans
fers Appropriated $50 900 shares.
Further selling in utilities kept the
stock list somewhat unsettled, al
though the rest of the list managed
to hold up pretty we'll few indus
trial specialties managed to advance.
Bonds maintained a good undertone.
Corn and hogs led an irregular ad-
vance in commodities. Cotton was
barely steady, however.
Consolidated Gas dropped more than
a point to another new low, and
American Telephone declined 2, dip
ping under 102. Public Service of
New Jersey, American Water Works,
North American, Western Union and
American Can lost major fractions to
more than a point. Non-ferrous
metals perked up little, accompanied
by a revival of imitation talk as
public expenditure program of several
billions was understood to be in prep
aration for the new Congress. United
States Smelling rose nearly points,
and Cerro de Pasco and American
Smelling moved up fractionally. Farm
implements were also firm. Deere ris-
ing point. General Motors, Amer
ican Rolling Mill, Bethlehem, Penney
and Montgomery Ward we're among
issues up small fractions United
States Steel was about unchanged, and
rails were quiet.
Business news over the holiday was
generally favorable. particularly from
the steel industry, which is maintain
ing the best rate of operations for the
normally quiet holiday period in years.
The utility outlook continued to worry
Wall Street, but a gleam of hope was
received in news ticker reports that
President Roosevelt at his Wednes-
day press conference had explained
that the administration wanted to be
helpful to private utilities. while pur-
suing its program of making electric
power cheaper and more abundant.
1t was noted with some interest
that it was reported the President
had not yet read the report of the
joint business conference for recovery,
and Wall Street was inclined to take
it for granted that public expendi-
lures to be recommended to the next
Congress would be large The busi-
ness conferences urgings that the dole
be substituted for made work" relief
it was felt in Wall Street, was pretty
certain to be ignored. On the whole,
however, the markets as a whole were
not inclined 10 take revived imitation
talk very seriously

CHICAGO, December 26.-In a rush
of buying, corn prices ran up like wild
fire at times today, and pulled other
grains along.
Greatly increased feeding Of corn

to result from subzero temperatures.
Sellers not only of corn but of all other
grains were scarce, except on the part
of traders, who were in a position to
realize profits.
