Bu I nil< and f’l t * NEW YORK. Feb. 6.—Heavy profit-taking swept over the Stock Exchange today and prices dropped from 1 to more than 2 points. Simultaneously cotton futures dropped $2 a bale and wheat broke to new low ground for the season. The turn in the stock market occurred after a firm opening. A considerable volume of buying orders was executed on the upside for traders who expected a reduction in the New York rediscount rate after the close today following action of the Bank of England in reducing its discount rate from 5 to 4% per cent. This early bulge in prices furnished an excellent opportunity for those who had them to take their profits. Attacks on Gillette, International Telephoneand Simmons gave impetus to the reaction. Around noon the whole list was lower with one or two exceptions. Fox Film a was notably strong in the face of selling elsewhere. The stock was holding around 37. up 1% from the previous close. National Dairy Products also gained while Hudson held around the previous close, being bolstered up by reports of a large increase in business. Otherwise the list declined. Johns Manville broke 5 points and declines of 1 to 2 points were scored by Consolidated Gas, Atchison. Alleghany Corporation. General Electric. General Motors, Standard Gas and American and Foreign Power. Call money renewed at 4’- per cent and shortly after noon dropped to 4 per cent. Tickers weere running late again, at noon being about thirteen min- j utes behind actual quotations. Sales! to noon totaled 1.735.000. against 1.855.200 in the same period Wednesday. In the Stock Market <Bv Thomson & McKinnoni NEW YORK. Feb. 6.—The lowering of the English bank rate: naturally carries with it the idea of similar action by our own reserve ! bank, thus helping to complete a business picture, the improvement i of which has been gradually unfolding since the first of the year. Assurance of a plentiful supply of money at reasonable low rates should act as a business stimulant and the enlarging operations which have become so noticeable In many of our major industries should begin j to spread and gain further momentum, we understand the dead-! lock in the copper industry has i been, or is about to be. terminated, with domestic fabricators finally coming into the market in a big way. This merely adds to the known improvement in the steel and motor industries. The position of the stock market, both fundamental and technical, continues strong. There are still many desirable issues in which yields are quite generous and which are attractive from the investments viewpoint. We believe the trend is toward materially higher prices, modified only by occasional corrective reactions.

The drive begins Wednesday. The first squad to be called to the colors under “General” Harold B. West, commandant of the sales army, is composed of. Ted C. Brown, captain, Charles N. Wiegand, Charles R. Yoke, G. K. Jeffries, R. B. Whitehill, C. W. Joline, Joseph Jones, F. L. Ackermann, R. R. Katterhenry, H. E. Imlah, A. J. Callaway and C. J. LaMee, privates. Karl C. Wolf is “colonel” of the squad’s division. * The $170,000 quota is an increase of $70,000 a year in the organization’s funds. The use to which the money will be put was explained today in a statement by Felix M. McWhirter, general chairman of the “forward” movement : “The budget for the industrial committee of the chamber in 1927 was $71,000. With that $17,000 twenty-one industries were brought to the city. These industries employed 2.300 persons and increased the evity’s pay roll $4,000,000. They showed a capital investment of approximately $2,000,000. “The chamber has proved its effectiveness over a period of three years, but the aggressiveness of its program has been limited by inadequate support,” he concluded.

WHEAT BREAKS TO NEW LOWS IN BEAR MOVE Corn and Oats Follow Trend of Major Grain Futures. Bn United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 6.—Wheat broke drastically to anew set of lows as ; the Board of Trade opened this morning. The collapse in the German rye market, which sent Liver- I pool down 2’s to 2% cents, new I offers of Russian wheat and a lower | Buenos Aires market brought : heavy selling. Com and oats were ) carried down by wheat. At the opening wheat was l’g to j2 1 i cents lower, corn was %to % cent off and oats was down % to j % cent. Provisions were steady. Liverpool opened much lower than expected this morning, partly be- ! cause of a collapse in the German rye market, prices in that grain falling 6'i cents. This and the way in which wheat faded out at the ! ; close Wednesday has increased the 5 bear sentiment, but the bear sentiment is so unanimous that it may i offset itself. The large corn buyers of Tuesday j I sold Wednesday when reports from | lowa indicated that an increased ! movement was beginning. This corn is mainly in the way of consignj ments, however. The shipping de- | mand remains large. Oats showed fair resistance to • pressure and selling by cash houses but the market continued to take its cue from the other grains.

Feb. 6.—Prospects of I freedom for Dr. Frederick A. Cook, ! notorious “discoverer” of the north j pole, now serving a sentence in | Leavenworth federal prison for mail j fraud, were brighter today when | Federal Judge John M. Killits announced his intention of approving a recommendation for Cook's parole. Cook was sentenced to a term of fourteen years and eight months in prison, and commanded to pay a fine of $12,000 in April, 1925, by Judge Killits, after a federal jury in Ft. Worth, Tex., found the Arctic explorer guilty of misusing the mails in connection with oil stock promotion. The veteran jurist said he was glad to hear of the recommendation on Cook's behalf, and asserted he would approve it provided Cook made a gesture toward liquidating part of the fine and costs charged against him if he were able financially to do so.
