PLAN SPEED TICKERS
FOR N. Y. EXCHANGE
Express Machines Would
Augment Old Service.
By United Press

By CHtted Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 3.-An "ex-
press" ticker service on New York
Stock Exchange quotations designed
to enable traders to keep abreast
of heavy trading activity is being
considered by the New York Quo
tation Company.
If approved by subscribers, the
new tickers will augment rather
than replace the present ticker
service. Regular tickers would carry
full market quotations at all times,
while the express" machines will
carry full quotations in normal pc
RODS, but in periods of heavy &C
tivity would omit from the tape less
active stocks.
The extent to which the num-
Der of quoted stocks would be
eliminated would vary from time
to time with the activity of the
market, thus furnishing spot prices
at all times On as many reperesen-
tative stocks as possible. Brokerage
firms will be able to adapt their
existing equipment for displaying
quotations to the new service, the
company said

.PORKER PRICES
JUMP s. CENTS
AT STOCKYARDS
VeaIers Strong at SO Down;
Cattle Market Scarce
and Steady.

Light receipts on hand during
the last two days resulted in an
advance of around IS cents in
porker prices at the local stock
yards yesterday. The advance was
general throughout the country,
with various market centers report
ing large increases.
Practically all supplies were active
and in demand. The bulk, 100 to
$50 pounds, sold for 1895 to SAILS,
while heavier grades, $50 pounds and
upward, were available at 1910 to
$500.
Smaller weights, scaling 100 to
$50 pounds, brought $3.50 to $685.
Light slaughter pigs, 100 to 100
pounds were salable at $225 to So
Receipts were estimated at 5000;
holdovers, 1877.
Slaughter steers remained steady
in the cattle market, with all
classes showing only slight action.
Most grades held inactive. Re-
ceipts numbered 300. Vealers were
strong to so cents higher than yes
terday's close, selling at SO down.
Receipts were 500.
With the market not fully estab-
lished, lamb prices were strong and
slightly higher. Fed natives were
salable at SO to $3.50. Supply
mostly consisted of fed westerns
holding above $3.50. Receipts were
1000.
Chicago hog prices mounted
around Is cents higher than Thurs
days average after the opening.
Initial top was quoted at $425.
Receipts were estimated at 10000,
including 10000 directs; holdovers,
4,000. Cattle receipts we're $500;
calves, 1000; market slow and
about steady. Sheep receipts num-
bered 1000. market strong.

emergency" I am afraid Mr.. Mills
has not pondered the recent decision
of the ma ority of the supreme court
in the Minnesota case, a decision
cencurred in, as it happens, by all
of President Hoovers appointees.
Mr.. Mills second point consists of
denVnciation of planned econ
omy" plus the statement that this
is the Utopia to which the PreSi-
dent is leading u.s." AS he has done
me the honor to quote something
I wrote recently describing the dan
gers and difficulties of a planned
economy, I may perhaps be permit
ted to say that I do not regard the
Roosevelt program as directed to the
establishment of planned economy.
The program does call for the
planning of many activities, and for
the conscious management of many
things. But so did Mr.. Hoover's
program, when he advocated the
planning of public works, when at
the outset of the depression he
pledged industries to wage, price,
and capital investment policies,
when he attempted to stabilize farm
prices, when, through the federal
reserve system, he attempted to re-
fate the price level through credit
expansion.
=
MIR. ROOSEVELT has carried
1F1 these principles further than
Mr.. Hoover did. But they do not
set up planned economy in any
true meaning of the words, and the
first to bear witness that they do
not would be the Communists who
invented the idea.
There was a period, I think, from
July to october, when there was
some reason to think that the adj
ministration was drifting into a
situation where it might really have
had to regiment and plan the whole
of agriculture and industry. In that
period, the administration seemed
to have lost sight of the fact that
the crisis was an essentially none
OoAy 1t 1o44CQ w 111oAA-
age money; the deflation was re-
sumed, and deflation carried to it's
logical end means either general
bankruptcy and paralysis or the
centralized direction of production.
But since October the President
has taken the other road. He has
sent out to manage the currency
with view to re- establishing a level
of prices at which profits reappear
and private enterprise can revive.
Insofar as the monetary experiment
succeeds, a planned economy" as
Mr.. Mills envisages it, becomes I'M
necessary, and no nation ever sub
mitted to real planning, with coer-
cion and RECOMMENDATION, except I'M
der the pressure of dire necessity.
That does not mean that the gov
eminent is not ito plan" in the
sense that it exercises intelligent
foresight. 1t does mean that it is
not ito plan" the industrial life of
America and impose the plan and
enforce it, 1t is the coercion and
Capitalization that distinguish a
planned economy" from a free,
forehanded, and at certain vital
spots managed economy.

NRA. The Thomas amendment delegates to the Pres
ident certain powers which congress possesses Mr.,
Mills does attempt prove that this delegation Of
power was unconstitutional and I doubt whether he
prove it.
AS to NA there be little question that certain
phases of this experiment particularly those in which
there is regulation of industry which is wholly within
a state, would be held unconstitutional except for the
doctrine that they temporary and for the M
Urgency.
WHAT Mr. Mills really objects to is that congress
w and the President, by mere declaration of en-
Urgency, in effect suspend the limitations of the
fundamental law, Who pretendS that thew can? The
