Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

.
NEW YORK. January 11.-Traders
decided today to garner profits in the
stock market in cautious week end
realizing.
Stocks held fairly even during the
process, but some issues lost fractions
to around points, while others re-
tanned part or all of early gains Of
as much. The close was somewhat
irregular. Transfers approximated
1,65O000 shares.
Some Of the stocks which were in
demand included Du Pont, Union Car
bide, Case, Continental Can, Boeing,
Douglas, Ohio Oil and Bethlehem.
Others on the offside were Santa Fe,
Westinghouse Electric, Allied Chem
ical. United States Steel and Loew's.
The late irregularity came after an
active opening in which prices inn
proved moderately in virtually all diyI.
sions. The tape fell some three min
utes behind toward the end of the FIRST
hour, but subsequently the pace mod
Grated as the advance lost force.
Low-priced motor shares we're active.
Studebaker and Packard changed
hands in large blocks. There was one
trade of 10000 shares of Packard at
the opening, Prices of both were about
steady. Oils and aircrafts we're well
taken.
The tinge of imitation sentiment evi.
dent recently was reflected in further
considerable strengthening of foreign
monies against the dollar in the ex.
change market.
Grains were little reactionary. but
cotton advanced Second-grade bonds
lifted, but others. including United
States Governments, were mixed and
narrow.

ican population, but has spread slowly north.
 Fourteen peddlers of the drug were apprehended in Hartford last week, he declared, and were irnme- diately bound over to superior court under heavy bond. The uniform nar- cotic act provides as a penalty for the sale of the drug a fine of not more than $2,000, not more than five years Imprisonment, or both. Hardy and tough, the plant will grow any, where, he said.
 Use Produces Insanity
 It is also known as Indian hemp, or hashhish and in appearance is a tall, erect herb, three to four feet high when wild and four to five feet high when cultivated. A sample plant grown at the State Agricul- t'lral Experiment station in New Haven was left with Superintendent Roach and will be viewed by police. Prolonged use of the drug, according to MT. Rivard, produces insanity. He explained that initiates are usually weak-minded to begin with and that constant addiction makes them dan- gerous, reckless criminals.
 Four or five of the cigarets give the addict imaginary great physical strength and mental ability and in lerger amounts results in the loss of the ability to gauge time and space. Tn advanced cases 1t pro- duces delirious rage in which addicts have been known to kill without req son,
