SPLIT SI PUBIS WORRIES STOCKS Industrials Strengthen Market After General Irregularity at Opening. EQUIPMENTS ARE HIGHER Studebaker and Chandler Show Effects of Recent Heavy Profit Taking. By the Wall Street Journal NEW YORK, Jan. 4.—Uncertainty over the situation at Paris caused considerable irregularity at the opening of the stock market. Wall Street had notice of disagreement between British and French over the German reparations all through the previous session, but news was not circulated through the interior until overnight, resulting in some selling in the early dealings. Following irregularity in the early dealings the whole market was strengthened by reason of operations and the rise in industrials. Equipments were stimulated by robust advances in Pullman, which re; hed a new high on the move at 132*4, while Baldwin again sold above 140. Both companies were reported to be seeking acquisition of Lima Locomotive. Motors were irregular, both Studebaker and Chandler showing effects of profit taking. Twenty active industrial stocks Thursday averaged 99.42, up .65 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 86.07, off -03 per cent.

CHICAGO GRAINS OPEIIIIUUUI Weakness of Liverpool Market Reflects on Prices. B’t United Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 4. —Grain prices were irregular on the Board of Trade at the opening today, due to a weak Liverpool market. Wheat was lower and corn and oats unchanged to fractionally higher. The trade here was largely local, with no distinctive features. A little buying developed on a report from Constantinople that the Turkish government had called the reserves to the colors. The slight advanre in oats was believed due to the increasing domestic demand. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE —JaD 4 WHEAT— Pre. Open. High. Low. 11:45. close.

REPLY IDF TO 'GAS' OBJECTIONS Secretary of Commerce Body Says Tax Levy Is Needed. Answering objections to the proposed State tax on gasoline, S. C. Hadden, secretary of the Allied Motor Commerce of Indiana, today urged that Indiana take full advantage of Federal aid funds for highway development by increasing the State road fund. “More money is urgently needed for the construction of modern roads in Indiana,” he said. “Indiana now is more than $6,000,000 short of taking full advantage of the Federal aid funds held for it at Washington and is falling still farther behind at the rate of $750,000 a year. The money is from Federal aid taxes paid by In diana taxpayers. Unless it is matched with money raised by Indiana, eventually be lost, going to other Slates.” The proposed increased motor vehH !e license fee and 2-cent tax on gasoline would, Mr. Hadden said, practically double the net income of the State highway department. A survey made by the Motor Commerce. based on a questionnaire sent to highway departments of every State, shaws that fifteen States now have a tax of 1 cent a gallon, and three States have a 2-cent tax and that the cost of collecting the tax Is small, Hadden said.
