TENSION [USES IN WftLLSTREET Reported Willingness of France to Consider Moratorium Boosts Stocks. SPECULATIVE LEADERS GAIN Buoyancy Marks Trading in Industrials, With Call Money More Available. By the Wall Street Journal NEW YORK, Jan. 12.—France’s reported v illingness to modify * her plan for collecting cash reparations and to consider a moratorium for Germany was looked upon as indicating' a lessening of tension in foreign situation and stocks were higher, at the opening today. Delaware & Hudson .amped 7’*i to 113 on President Loree’s announcement that a $9 annual dividend rate would be continued and fair sized gains were scored by Pan-American, Baldwin. Studebaker and other speculative leaders. California Pete continued to lead the oils, teaching anew high at 81. Buoyancy marked trading in the industrials in the first hour. One class of stocks after another was taken up and advanced to new highs on the move. To the quiet optimism ruling regarding the European developments was added striking increase in Federal reserve ratio which advanced to 73.6 per cent against 71.3 per cent in the previous week. This indication of the Nation's strong banking position contained promise of a plentiful supply of funds for market purposes and encouraged speculative cliques to proceed with operations for the rise in their favorites. Specialties like Beechnut and Postum Cereal still attracted much attention but the principal feature was the heavy turnover in oils. California Pete reached a further new high at g3i, an d substantial gains were scored by Cosden, Pan-American, Sinclair and Phillips Pete. Twenty active industrial stocks Friday averaged 95.12, up .83 per cent: twenty active rails averaged 84.55, off .26 per cent.

EMIN IS HALTED BY FOREIGN NEWS Domestic Reports Also Worry Chicago Traders. Bu 1 nitcd Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 12.—Grain prices were unchanged or lower on the Chicago Board of Trade at the opening today as a result of reports that Fiance had modified her demands for a collection of cash reparations and was willing to consider a moratorium. Wheat was further affected by word from Wichita, Kan., that the Kansas wheat growers' association, tired of waiting for higher prices, will order a portion of the pooled wheat to be sold each month from now until June. This action was taken to close out all wheat in the pool, between 2,000,000 and 4,000,000 bushels, so as to make a final settlement before the next crop. Some selling developed on the estimate of the Daily Trade bulletin that the world's available suply of wheat on Jan. 1, was 301,138,000 bushel, compared to 255,336,u00 bushels on Dec. 1, and 233,412,000 bushels last year. Weakness in wheat and lower hog prices inclined to pull down prices. Provisions opened irregular. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE Hizh. Low. 11:45. clone.
