STOCK MARKET TONE UNSTEADY Price Changes Featured Early Trade. NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—Price change* were mixed at the opening of the stock, market today, most of the change* being lower figures. Fluctuations in the majority of issue* were confined to fraction..! limits. The greatest activity centered in Crucible Steel, which opened from 87% to 88%. compared with -89% at the close yesterday. The stock later sold up to sev Atlantic Gulf yielded % of a point to 61% and then rote to above 62%. Mexican Petroleum dropped to 153%, but quickly recovered this loss.

New Haven dropping % of a point to 18%. Missouri Pacific preferred was down 1 point to 38%, St. Itaul, 1% points to 25% and Northern Bpciflc. after advancing % of a po.nt KSS. fell to 48%. Asphalt, after opening down l*Uof a point to 61%, rose 1 point, was pressure against many Hsks at frequent intervals during the forenoon, but declines were offset by quick rallies. Northern Pacific was sold In large volume by one prominent commission house. After making a gain of Vi of a point to 85, it dropped to 84%. Reading, which opened at SO, rose to 81%. Texas A Pacific was bid for on a large scale and advanced 1% points to 53%. United States Steel ranged from 81% to 81%. The motors were generally heavy. Mexican Petroleum sold down to 153% and then rallied to 154. Baldwin, after yielding to 85%, rose to 86%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Feb. 4 At the opening yesterday morning the market was very weak. There was renewed pressnre from professional Interests. but liquidation was also In evidence. Losses were recorded. Thereafter some rally followed, hut at no time did the market show any real vigor. The one discouraging phase of the present market is the failure of business improvement to attain the momentum that was anticipated. It is still discouragingly slow in many lines and the opinion 1* gaining that further recessions in commodity prices is to be expected and prevailing bnsiness conditions are natu rally reflected In the railroads' earnings, which are proving disappointing and discouraging to stockholders. In addition to all this the money market has been disappointing. The ease which was experienced for a short while has again given way to considerable stringency, with distressing high rates for call money and a substantial advance In the time funds. Europe continues to be the disturbing element. Those who forecasted rapid Improvement in business counted strongly on a quick settlement of the reparation problem and this seems to be as far from settlement as it was a month ago. The market lacks public support and further reaction in prices tfouid not be surprising. \ k CLEARING HOISE STATEMENT.

GRAIN PRICES SUSTAIN LOSSES Lack of Demand for Export Principal Factor. CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Grain prices were lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to lack of demand for export. . Selling was general. Sentiment was bearish because of lack us buying power. Provisions were lower. March wheat opened up l%c at $1.53%, but lost Us gain in later trading. May wheat opened at $1.44, down lc, losing an additional %c subsequently. May corn opened up %c at 64%c and gain ed%c later. July corn opened at 66%c, up %e, losing un additional %e in later truding. May oats opened up %c at 44%c, and remained unchanged In later trading. July oats, up %c, opened at 42%c and gained an anditionai %e latex. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) * —Fab. 4 Wheat—Judging from the dragging tendency ol wheat prices whenever export business lags, it would seem that the trade is possessed of the iuea that we have a surplus which cannot ue consumed at home. Statisticians are divided upon the questtou of home consumption, some claiming that economy is being practiced. It is our view that the American public is distinctly dissatisfied with the various mixtures and substitutes for pure wheat llour which were ■suforeed during the wur. From this basis it follows that consumption is not diminished. Tuis belli,, so, there is little it any surplus remaining to provide for carry-over into the next crop. The closeness of the balance seems to be ludicated by the contention that the millers are paying from 8 to 6 cents over export bids, despite that what is repined to be a very poor flour demand. It develops that exporters at seaboard are compelled to buy their requirements wherever possible as the offerings from the country do not supply even the milling demand. The Bhaduw of recent business depression stili overhangs the market and is responsible for an intermittent and unsatisfactory buying power in grains. It seems to us that this one condition, which is a mental condition rather than au actuality, has had full effect. Coarse Grains —A smuii amount of corn has been sold for export, but as- yet the domestic buyer refuse* to anticipate future needs. Elevator Interests are taking the hulk of the daily arrivals and, of course, placing hedge* in the deferred deliveries. This hedging gives both corn and oats a sluggish tone. Prices have reached the point where they will be more ir, sympathy with strength wheat. Provisions—The pessimistic feeling in the commodities and the action of grains was the chief Influence in provision*. Undertone in hog market seems healthy. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Feb. 4 WHEAT— Open. High.

ORDERS BIDS IN BOARD’S NAME (Continued From Page One.) ago, arose In the board’s latest order, since George Lemuux, president of tha board, issued positive orders that the bids were to be advertised for In name of the board and submitted to the board. DESIRE TO IGNORE SHOWN. This was taken to mean that the board president desires to ignore the purchasing agent as completely as possible In the purchase of the street rep-iir equipment and to stand upon assertions frequently made by him (Lemaux) that the purchasing agent has no power to act other than as a “clerk” to the board. The purchasing agent has asserted with equal frequency that if he Is to be considered as a mere “clerk” to rubber stamp papers for the board that tha money spent by the city upon his department is wasted. It has often been reported at the city hall that when Mayor Charles W. Jewett appointed Mr. Ritter he gave him specified instructions to make the city purchasing department function in as businesslike a manner as such a branch of any modern business institution does. OVERHEAD WIRES ORDERED REMOVED. The board ordered all public ntllltleg with overhead wires within the territory bounded by North, South, East and West streets to remove them at once. Recommendation that this be done, sine® overhead wires within the mile square are in violation of the city fire code, was passed to the board of works by the board of public safety several days ago.
