STERLING SHOWS GAIN FOLLOWING DEBTAGREEMENT Developments Indicate 'That Foreign Finances Are Being Clarified, FRANCS, MARKS LOWER Industrials Are Weak, Due to Heavy Selling in Motor Stock Trade, By Wall Street Journal NEW YORK, Feb. 1. —Sterling’s advance of one cent in the early dealings further reflected the good feeling engendered by the British acceptance of American debt terms. Francs and marks sold off from Wednesday’s close, but despite this easier tone it was generally felt in the linancial community that other developments had served to clarify the foreign situation. Industrials were disturbed by heavy selling of motors which was precipitated in the first hour by the acute weakness displayed by Durant on the curb. Chandler broke to 61 7 S against Wednesday’s high of 67%, Studebaker to 113% against 1151a and General Motors to 13% against 14. Despite pressure on this tection of the market, the general list was steady. Steel common was supported above Wednesday’s lo wand rails showed few indications of profit-taking. A banker in close touch with U. S. Steel’s affairs made a wager that in the current quarter, steel would show a surplus after dividends of more than 510,000,000. In order to do so, steel would have to show earnings of between ?35,000,000 and $40,000,000. "When one considers that steel in the last three years charged against the net income $126,000,000 a total in excess of the market value of the outstanding capital st k of Midvale, Lackawanna and Republic, a deficit of a little over $10,000,000 appears insignificant. Twenty active industrial stocks Wednesday averaged 97.43, off .32 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 86.26, off .32 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearing’s Thursday were $*2,779,000; bank debits were 56,690.000. Foreign Exchange By United Financial NEW YORK. I>b- I—Foreign exchange opened irregular.

By United Financial CHICAGO. Feb. I.—All grain prices opened lower on the Board of Trade today, due to depressing Liverpool cables and reports of rain throughout the Southwest wheat belt. A continued lack of export buying and slow foreign demand halted busl- i ness at the seaboard and materially slowed up trade on the local market. Rain over the Argentine corn belt, j which had been suffering from j drought, had a depressing effect on ! the local market. The domestic de j mand was also light. Trade in both oats and rye was slow. Prices were practically un- j changed, with oats lower. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 1— WHEAT— Feev. Op-n. High 11:45.

Illinois Central System Will Expend $45,500,000 in 1923 in Order to Serve Its Patrons More Efficiently The Illinois Central System plans to expend $45,500,000 in 1923 on improveing and extending its facilities—an expenditure that will he made in the interest of improved service to its patrons. The expansion program consists of new equipment that will cost $18,500,000, which is now being ordered, and the construction of roadway improvements that will cost $27,000,000, work on which will be begun immediately. The new equipment purchased will include fifty locomotives, 4,000 open-lop cars, 1,500 box ears, 500 automobile cars, fifty all-steel passenger and baggage cars, five dining cars and 125 caboose cars. The construction of roadway improvements includes additional main tracks, grade reductions, improvements to and extension of yards, locomotive and car shops, freight and passenger terminals, new shop machinery and tools and extension of signal facilities. Heavy losses result from inadequate transportation. The Illinois Central System, as its 1923 program indicates, is earnestly endeavoring to place itself in position to serve its patrons more adequately. Since September 1, 1920, the Illinois Central System has expended $23,500,000 on improvements and enlargements to its roadway facilities and $49,000,000 on new equipment. Including the expenditures planned for 1923, this means that in a little more than three years the Illinois Central System will have expended $118,000,000 for improving and enlarging its roadway facilities and for new equipment. With railway conditions as they have been for several years past, such expenditures as the Illinois Central System has been and is making require an abiding faith on the part of the management in the fairness of the American public. The Illinois Central System has that faith, lt believes that the public, ivhen in possession of the true facts, will control railway regulatory policies in such a way that the railroads will be enabled to earn a fair, compensatory return upon the value of their properties. If it were not for that faith, the management could not justify these expenditures. Constructive criticism and suggestions are invited. C. H. MARKHAM, President, Illinois Central System
