Carter is trying to figure out a

tackled the proposition in spite of
the fact the officials realized money

fighters are up against it for income.
The Hercules A. c. paid of on ev-

NEW YORK. February 2-Brokers
report that with the lowered activity
in the stock market competition for
business has stiffened.
One broker says that his customers
have told him of great increase in
the number of solicitations received
from competing firms.
Ways and means are still being
sought to improve the competitive po-
sition of organizations by increasing
service to the public.
In addition to this there has been
an unrelenting need for curtailment of
overhead Achievement of this with
out cutting working staffs too low has

CHANGES SLIGHT
ON STOCK MARKET
Action of Supreme Court
Awaited Calmly and Few
Shares Rise.
What Stocks Did.
BY FRANK MACMILLEN,

ASSOClhLCu EICSS W1ItC1-
NEW YORK, February 2.-Stocks
and bonds ruled steady today in the
face of the expected gold clause rul-
ing from Washington on Monday,
and leading grains exhibited better
tone. There was no evidence of real
nervousness, and the trading volume
in all markets was at minimum.
Later in the day, after Eastern
markets had closed, it was announced
from Washington that the Supreme
Court would not make public its de-
cision on Monday.
While equity gains on the average
were negligible, a few leaders were
able to rise major fractions to a
point or so each. No definite trend
was discernable in the corporate
loan list. Government obligations
were little soft in some cases, but
here, as elsewhere, the movement was
not uniform.
Securities markets were notable
chiefly for equanimity with which
they awaited the Supreme Court de-
cision, and there was disposition in
some Wall Street quarters to feel
that whatever the tenor of the an
nouncement most individual positions
in stocks and bonds had been adjusted
over the psSt fortnight with a view to
weathering any strain with least pos
sible disturbance.
Foreign exchange traders were not
too confident. Leading gold currencies
sagged, but the pound sterling was
able to gain little ground.
The almost total immobility of the
stock list, as whole. was evidenced
by the rise of only OIL of point in
the Associated Press average for 60
selected stocks at 1877. Turnover to-
tailed $4,000 shares.
United States Steel Corp. ingot pro-
duction, at 46l2 per cent of capacity
last week, was reported to have
reached a level at which the company
can show some operating profit. Steel
common and preferred gained sizable
fractions at 81 and 877s, respectively.
