RAIL ISSUES MARKET FEATURE Copper Stocks Unusually Active—Oils Make Gains. NEW YORK, Jan. 2S. —The stock market gave further evidence of the scarcity of supply at the opening today, there being few offerings around current quotations and mny stocks made moderate gains. The railroad issues were again prominent, Reading advancing 1 point to 85, followed by a reaction to 84Vi. New Haven rose % of a point to 21%. Baldwin rose of a point to 90%, and then dropped to 90%. Bethlehem Steel “B" was off Vi point to 57V*. Mexican Petroleum rose % of a point to 168%, and fractional gains were made in some of the other oils. The coppers were unusually active. Anaconda moving up % of a point to 39%^ and Inspiration rose %of a point Seneca also made a fractional gain. American Linseed common rose % of a point to 60% and the preferred ranged from 88 to 91. Although there were frequent reactions in the stock market during the first hour, the market tone was generally •trong and rallies followed declines constantly. There were many indications that pool activities were again in progress in a number of issues, but the most interest was attached to the trading in rails. Northern Pacific was the feature of that group, first yielding V* of a point to 85V* and then advancing to 66%. Reading was actively traded in from the opening, advancing over 1 point to 85%. Dealings In Mexican Petroleum were on large scales, the stock advancing 2 points to 161%, but later reacting to 160%. Bethlehem Steel “B” moved down to 67%, and then advanced to 68, but reacted from this level. (By Thompson A McKinnon.) —Jan. 28In many respects yesterday’s market acted similar to what we experienced Wednesday and during the previous sessions. In the midst of a rather quiet and uninteresting market selling became rather aggressive and recessions quickly follows, but the moment pressure was removed the market Immediately strengthened and values rebounded. At no time during the session, however, was there any general activity in the market, and all of the larger operations having the appearance of professional trading. There is no change in trade reports. In the steel Industry some importance is noted. The same is true of the motor industry, where some companies are increasing operations. In oil a little uncertainty has been created by reason of cutting prices, but in this connection it is interesting to note the statement of the president of the Mexican Petroleum Company forecasting the most profitable year in the company's history. The railroads seems to be solving their great labor problems In a most natural and logical way. There Is a legal obstacle, to the readjustment of wages, but none as to time. Therefore, reducing the time of their men will accomplis hpractically the results sought. While there are many serious probl>mg before us, thev are known and their influence has been felt in the markt. And with a gradual Improvement In world conditions and in our own business we should have a gradual improvement in all values, and we continue to favor the purchase of stocks on the weak markets. clearing house statement.

[email protected] [email protected] [email protected] With 10,000 fresh hogs on the market and a good demand by shippers with Eastern packing house connections, there was a strong tone to the market at the opening of the local live stock exchange today and prices were generally 25 to 50 cents higher. There was a top of $10.50 on some good light hogs, while there were many of that class of hogs that brought the top today that would not have brought more than $lO on the Thursday market. Good heavy hogs generally brought s9.oO@lo f with the most of the sales around the top of the prices. Mixed and medium hogs brought $9.75 @10.26, while roughs were about steady and pigs sold at the prices of the loads. Tho bulk of the sales for the day was $9.75®10.25. Trade was dull on the cattle market with close to 700 fresh cattle on the market and approximately 1,000 stale cattle in the pens. Prices were generally 25®30c lower. Commission men stated that the principal reason for the decline here was that this market has been out of line with the other cattle markets of the country for some time. There was some, fairly good cattle on the market, but there seemed to be a slack in demand by the buyers. Lower bids were made at the very start of the market. There was a good demand for calves and prices were strong to fully 50c higher, with a top of $15.50, at which quite a number of sales were made, while there were a few odd sales at sl6. There were approximately 500 calves on the market. With close to 400 sheep and lambs on the market, prices held steady on the fancy western lambs, while native lambs were weak. There were no sales at $10.50, which was the top of the Thrusday mar ket. However, quite a few sales were made at $lO. HOGS.

MIXED TRADE ON GRAIN MART Heavy Selling Causes Advance in March Wheat. CHICAGO, Jan 28.—Mixed trades, the result of the Government report on crop conditions, affected trading on the Board of Trade here today. Heavy selling brought March wheat up 3%c at noon. The rest of the market for the most part was unchanged. Provisions ■were unchanged. March wheat opened at $1.63%, down %c, and gained B%c In later trading.

May oats opened unchanged at 42%c, and remained at the price through later trading. July oats opened down %c at 42%c, losing an additional %c later. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —Jan. 28— Wheat—Foreign political and financial conditions, together with private cable advices that European countries had supplied their immediate needs, dominated the wheat market early yesterday. A moderate export business was reported on the decline and attention was directed to the decreasing receipts in the Southwest and the small amount offered by country dealers. Market was also helped by publication of the exports for the month of December, showing the total for the first six months of the crop year to be 206.000,000 as compared with 115,000,000 bushel a year ago. It Is constantly reported that flour business is poor, but at the same time spring wheat In the Northwest markets is in demand at better premiums. Prices in Buenos Airea were quoted to B®3%c higher, said to be on Duying by previous sellers rather than because of any prominent European demand. It is quite possible that the export trade in United States wheat will rule slow for a time, but there is room for belief that a moderate amount of business will appear at all times. Corn*—The movement of corn from first hands is still great©*- than immediate requirements. ilarket.is plainly under the influence of a hedging load as witness the Increasing discount for the May delivery under the July; as witness also the maintenance of a discount of some 9c for the various grades of cash corn. Prices have reached the point where values may steady themselves, but we doubt if there will be any permanent strength. Oats—lt is true that the country Is selling oats very sparingly but the accumulations, as shown in the visible supply, are undoubtedly hedged lu the market, these hedges being particularly effective In view of a very slow demand. Provisions —The widely Improved demand for hogs shows a healthy condition. The strength in hogs under the present movement, suggests high prices in the event of any decline lu the receipts.

BUCKNER FATE NOW IN HANDS OF SHELBY JURY (Continued From Page One.) Buckner fell when shot through the head. Mr. Evans said the evidence showed Buckner not only armed himself for the trip, but provided another negro of the party with a revolver. BUCKNER ON STAND. Judge Alonzo Blair allowed an hour and a half to each side for arguments, which began at 9 o’clock this morning. The introduction of evidence was concluded at 5 o'clock Thursday afternoon, after Buckner had been on the witness stand in his own behalf for nearly two hours. Buckner calmly outlined his position of innocence and admitted he fired two shots during a fight when twenty gallons of “white mule” was being transferred from the “bootleggers’ ” machine to the auto of Henry Lee, a negro. Buckner claimed that Harold Kauffman made the arrangements with Napariu to meet the former health Inspector on the West Tenth street road, where at least twenty gallons of “white mule” would be delivered to Kauffman at S2O a gallon. Kauffman was to receive tw© gnllone gratis for buying the whisky, Buckner claimed. Buckner maintained the only Interest he had In the transaction was that he was engaged by Kauffman to drive his taxi in which the whigky was to be brought back to Indianapolis. He said he was to receive $5 for this service. He admitted that when his car was too small to carry the large load of corn whisky, the car of Henry Lee, a brother of the notorious “Goosie” Lee, was used. Buckner admitted Lee drove the car to the appointed place and also admitted he furnished one of the colored men of the party a revolver and also went to his home and obtained a revolver for himself prior to leaving for the place on the West Tenth street road where the whisky was to be delivered to Kauffman. Buckner named as members of Kaufman’s party John Montgomery, known as "Beefhead;” Mike McGuire, Henry Lee, Lawrence Allen and Edgar Harrison. Buckner denied he told Detective George Sneed of Indianapolis "Beefhead, ’ McGuire, Allen and Harrison hid in the weeds and then junued out on to the unsuspected “hankies” of the Napnriu crowd, who brought the “white mule" to West Tenth street, as the part of a conspiracy to "steal” the corn whisky. DENIES TESTIMONY OF STATE’S WITNESSES. Buckner said he fired “two shots” In the air after a “hunky” had attempted to strike him with a club. He said he was sure he did not hit any one and attempted to maintain that three shots were fired before he fired two shots into the “air.” ' The State's witnesses had represented Buckner followed Napariu, who was attempting to run away from the fight, and that Buckner fired and struck Napariu while the health inspector was runniug away. This Buckner denied. Buckner said he did not know Napariu had been killed until several days i.tter In Danville 111., where he admitted driving his wife on the Sunday foilow•ng the tragedy. Buckner denied he made a statement to Detective Sneed that he boasted on ‘getting a hunky” while returning to Indianapolis wtth the whisky stealers. He admitted Kauffman gave him a gallon of whisky on tho following Sunday and said it “smelled and tasted like wood alcohol” and he threw it out. The court refused to permit Buckner to qualify as an “exjiert” on the smell and taste of wood alcohol. On cross examination, Buckner failed to explain consistently why he was so heavily armed and also the reason for accompanying Kauffman and the others to the West Tenth street road when Buckners car was not used by Kauflf man. Prosecutor Evans forced Buckner to admit that while In Duuville, 111., he received a letter advising him the “police were lookiug" for him. Buckner appeared calm on the witness stand and obtained slight delay in answering most of the questions put to him on cross-examination by causing Mr. Evans to repeat nearly all of his questions. Six character witnesses were introduced by the defense as well as Mrs. Lillilan Buckner, wife of the defendant. j The State concluded the introduction of Its evidence by introducing Henry Lee and Lawrence Allen, two negroes, who are Indicted with Buckner on first degree murder charges. Leo maintained Buckner chased Napariu down the road and that shots were heard from the di rection in which Napariu and Buckner wore running. Both Lee and Allen denied they had been promised leniency by the State for testifying against Buckner.
