STEEL REACTION FEATURES EARLY EXCHANGE TRADE Professional Operators Seize on Earning Reports to Force Reaction. INDUSTRIALS ARE STEADY Rails Continue March Upward —California Pete Advances Over a Point. By Wail Street Journal NEW YORK, Jan. 31—Professional operators were given an opportunity at the opening to look over the steel statements of earnings in the place of uneasiness over the foreign situation as a pretext for forcing reaction on the New York Stock Exchange today. Steel opened at 105, off more a point from Tuesday’s high, reflecting the undoing of speculative positions built on the hope that net earnings in the last quarter would run to thirty or thirty-five million against actual showing of $27,552,000. "With the exception of steel, the Industrial list was steady and rails generally higher. California Pete advanced 1% to 78 on announcement of Initial $1.75 dividend. Twenty active industrial stocks Tuesday averaged 97.75, off .51 per cent; 20 active rails averaged 86.58, off .62 per cent. Foreign Exchange By United Financial NEW TORK.

GRAINS ARE LOWER IN CHICAGO TRADE Lack of Foreign Demand Causes Recessions. By United Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—Grain prices were lower on the board today, largely due to lack of foreign demand and inactivity of local trade. Wheat opened off from a quarter to ?*, Argentina shipments were reported moving and the cold wave’s failure to materialize In the Southwest also held down trading. Corn was lower with trade light and speculators absent. Heavy hog receipts were partly responsible for the slump. Oats and rye were practically unchanged with local and foreign sales quiet. Provisfons were quiet. Chicago Grain Table —Jam 31— WHS AT— Prev. Open. High. Low. 11:45. close.

ORPHANS OF CITY SEE PUPPEI SHOW Capers of ‘Uncle Wiggily’ I Characters Prove a Delight, One hundred little orphans at the I performance of Tony Sarg’s Marionettes in “Uncle Wiggily" this afternoon at Caleb Mills Hall wondered I how “they do it.” The animal figures, j two feet high, moved and talked :is j naturally as any little live bunny could be expected to in the children ; eyes. The fact that they were being manipulated by tine wires and that the voices they appeared to be using issued from human throats did not worry them. But back stage one could find the men and women who are the brains belling the actors. They stood so that each looked down upon his particular protegee and could see that his arms and legs and head were working properly. The performance was a delight. The youngsters watched every movement, as did the number of grown-ups in the audience, who recognized their old friends, “Nurse Fuzzy-Wuzzy.” “Doc Ptissum,” “Grandpa Goosey-Gander” and “Mr. Longears.” The play tonight will be “Don Quixote" and his horse "Rosinante,” who have been lauded as among the most accurately presented of Sarg’s j characters. i The shows are under the auspices ■of the American Association of University ‘Women.

BOOK FACTORY IS HIDOENINWOODS Tennessee Plant Can Print 100,000 a Day, NASHVILLE, Tenn., Jan. 31.—1n the heart of a mountainous Tennessee wilderness, at the center of the bookbuying population of the United States, one of the world’s greatest printeries has been completed. The product of the first press run is the New Testament, for the Bible is still the “best seller.” Ford methods of efficiency in quantity production will be applied there, and books will be supplied at prices within the reach of the poorest. Behold, the library flivver! So remarkable is the enterprise that It merits an Introduction to the public somewhat more sedate. Its daily capacity, including the output of specially made machinery, will be 100,000 volumes. Moreover, for the first time in history the business of book manufacturing has been integrated. The Kingsport Press is the core of what Hugo Stinnes wou,ld call a “vertical” industry. It is not within single management, but friendly groups own its units. They own forests near at hand which will supply paper pulp for the next ninety years. They own abundant coal fields forty miles from the printing plant. They control the railroad running through Kingsport, on which this coal and books must be n , ove( l—the only railroad which crosses —or punctures —the Appalachians. They own paper and pulp mills, glue and ink factories, a cloth-flnishing plant, bookbindory and plate making; and shipping departments. The things | which go to make a volume need no longer be assembled from many diverse quarters. In effect, the physical book is to be brought out of the earth itself, with the sources of power and the raw material close at hand. MEDIC SAYS KNOCKOUT IS LIKE SHELL SHOCK Sensations Exactly Similar, French Physician Asserts. PARIS, Jan. 31. —The medical resemblance between shell shock and the knockout blow in boxing was discussed by Dr. Llvet before the Academy of Medicine. Dr. Llvet described the sequence of sensations felt in each case as exactly similar, asserting that the loss of memory followed return to consciousness.
