U YORK STOCK

NEW YORK. Jan. 10. lR,-The
stock market was virtually Mt a
standstill Thursday as most Of the
usually active traders displayed a
decided preference for the side-lines.
Although seiective participation
was evident in scattered issues. the
So-called leaders moved in an ex-
tremely small fractional range and
the activity was even more restrict
ed than in the preceding dull ses-
sion. Stimulus from washington or
elsewhere was being awaited to give
the market a push in one direction
or another.
Prime Investment corporation
bonds were again higher and U. S.
government securities firmed on a
moderate turnover. Rail lines ach-
ieved some popularity. Commodities
were generally as listless as equities.
Grains were slightly better. but cot
ton did virtually nothing. The dol
lar was even In terms Of leading
foreign exchanges.
Shares Of Gillette. Caterpillar Ia
coma and Continental Can edged UP
TO new high territory for the past
past year, National Department
Store advanced about 3 points and
Columbia Pictures Certificates and
Allied Chemical we're up a point or
50 each. The latter was ex-dividend.
Standard Oils Of New Jersey and
California appeared to have shaken
off some Of the depression result
ing from the adverse Supreme court
ruling on NRA regulation. They
were fractionally higher. Santa Fe,
N. Y. Central, Union Pacific. Con-
solidated Gas. U. s Steel. American
Telephone, General Motors. Chrys-
Ter, Loew's, National Distillers.
Western Union. Westinghouse. Gen.
eral Electric and numerous others
recorded only slight variations.
Continued improvement In retail
trade was reflected by some OF the
department store issues which were
in demand on the belief that earn
ings statements will exceed even the
most optimistic expectations. Mail
order and chain store sales for the
past year were understood TO nave
shown an increase Of around IL per
cent over 1888.

HOUSE PASSES BILLS CHANGING
 OFFICE TERMS
Seating of Officials Would Be Moved from Janu-
 ary to April

Without opposition the House pushed through four bills this morn ing which would change the time the ditor, Highway Engineer, Attorney General and Treasurer take office from the first of Jan- uary to April 1. r
 The measures, if approved by the Senate, will clarify the existing sit uation where the Legislature was called upon to pay the salary Of the Treasurer from the first of the year until he actually takes office in April. It was also ex- plained by A. H. ziegler, author Of the bills, that having the officials take office after the legislative ses- sion rather than before would en- able the men who had been in of flee to be on hand to furnish infor- nation and data for the lawmakers, they naturally being more convers- ant with matters of the office than incoming men would be.
 House Bill No. 69, proposing in- terest of six per cent be paid on deposits required by public utility corporations for installing meters or other electrical appliance, was put over until tomorrow that rep lcsentatives of the utility groups might be heard if they so desired.
 With but two more days remain ing for introduction of bills, three new measures made their appearance in the House this morning. George A. Lingo of the Fourth Division in- troduced a bill asking $3,000 for the building of an airplane field at Nenana. The others were commit tee bills, one by Judiciary which would allow personal property from estates to be sold the same as real property and the other by the Edu- cation Committee asking a refund of $75 to Dr. Angland of Seattle, who paid the fee to practice at Port Alexander but later found no phys ician was needed there.

FISHING SURVEY
 MEMORIAL OK. D BY LOWER HOUSE
Plan Would Ask $250,0 ,000 1. PWA Funds to Make
 Study of Industry

After efforts to amend to include all basic industries failed, the Ter ritorial House this afternoon pass ed House Joint Memorial No. IS which would request that s250.00C be appropriated by the Public Works , Administration for survey of the fisheries in Alaska.
 A. G. Nordale of the Fourth Divis- ion proposed the amendment to in- clude all industries'in the Territory on grounds that such a survey would tend to promote and develop other industries as well as fishing, and further, it would appear under the text of the memorial that Alaska was interested only in fishing. A. P. Walker offered to amend not be conducted by any existing govern ment bureau but later withdrew it when it was pointed out it would exclude the PWA itself from mak- ing the inquiry. Walker said he vas particularly interested that the matter not be turned over to the Bureau of Fisheries.
 Similar Mining Plan Likely
 Joe Green, author of the memor- ial. argued the amendments would tend to kill the purpose of his pro- posal and pleaded that it be con- fined to a strict fisheries inquiry and the House agreed after con- siderable discussion.
 William Growden, of the Fourth, who at first supported the all-in- dustry amendment but withdrew his opposition rather than defeat the measure, said he expected to bring in a proposal tomorrow cov- ering the mining industry under a similar survey request.
 Kill Nerland Bill
 The House passed H. B. Il, ex- tending the powers of the Board of Trustees of the Pioneers Home and killed the Nerland scientific school survey bill by indefinite postpone ment. The Nerland measure ask ed $10.000 for a survey of the Ter ritorial school system, but it had been recommended against by the Education committee on grounds no definite purpose for the survey had been presented the committee. It
