STEEL ASSUMES LEADERSHIP OF GENERAL MARKET Stock Monopolizes Lion's Share of Activity in First Hour Trading, INDEPENDENTS FOLLOW Dividend Declaration, Earnings Statement Prompt Demonstration, * The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—United States Steel’s unexpectedly large net of 149,958.980 In the fourth quarter of 1923, the largest of any three months since the close of 1918 and the authorization of a 50c extra dividend, created the most buoyant opening of the stock market of recent months. Steel jumped practically "3 points on lumped transactions of 7.000 shares, on which a price of 106 was fixed. Another shares turned over at 105 and the stock maintained tremendous activity at around this figure. First Hour Steel monopolized the lion’s share for th; first-hour transactions, making no further progress on the upside but maintaining a strong tone around 105%. The independents followed, Bethlehem reaching new high ground for the year at 60. Republic at 55% and Sloss-Sheffield at 6214- Further consideraton of the Steel Corporation's fourth quarter statement aroused gradually increasing enthusiasm. After payment of the dividends including the 50c extra, Steel showed $17,139,000" surplus. Second Hour Steel's strength continued to overshadow the whole market in the late morning. The renewal of Its upswing carried the premier industrial to a new high for the year at 107. stimulating further strength in the general industrial list, which was not disturbed by American Woolen’s decline to anew low on the movement at 69%, a drop which reflected the uncertain outlook for the woolen trade. Davison Chemical’s ten-point comeback from Tuesday's low was explained by the publication of the 1923 report showing a balance of 55.69 a share for the stock. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday averaged 99.16, off .19 per ! cent. Tjventy active rails averaged j 81.93. off .23 per cent" Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Wednesday i were $2,825,000; bank debits were $5,845 -i 000.

FOREIGN VALDES BOLSTER WHEAT Corn Starts Weak, but Strengthens Later, By United Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 30. —Grains opened irregular on the Board of Trade today. Wheat started higher, influenced by strength in foreign markets. Liverpool showed opening strength with sharp demand for supplies in near by positions by millers who are anxious to store sufficient wheat to tide them over an impending dock workers' strike. Corn showed weakness at the start when reports from primary markets showed country offerings were more plentiful. Strength developed later, however, with the report that Germany in the near future would import large parcels of American corn. Oats sold higher with good feeding demand in existence and Indications of better cash demand. Provisions opened unheanged under influence of weaker hogs and cables.

Warmth and rain preceding the recent sub-zero weather removed snow covering in southern part of wheat belt and justifies some apprehension over plant injury from ice. freezing and thawing. B. W Snow declared. The United States rye visible is only 20.000.000 bushels, and *hould dlappear rapidly if important export busines were to develop. First export of this grain for some time was reported Tuesday. lowa elevators have ground more oats for feed on this crop than ever before The feeding of three bushels of ground oats and one bushel of com in a we.t mnsh is said to produce very satisfactory results with hogs. Those who have been bearish on whpat say they see little change in the surroundings of the "market, and continue (o lock for much lowef prices A run of corn now is not a danger but a necessity. If cash com can not. be <btalned at a bigger discount traders are not going to have a reserve supply. Futures must work higher If warehouse people can buy supplies and hedge profitably.

Only 10,000 head arrgOel for market, including Tuesday’s carryover of 529, and buyers lost no time in obtaining their supplies. Except for a drove or two sold at the opening at $7.30, the market was regarded as steady with all weights and classes selling at $7.35, with a top of $7.40 as on previous trading. Sows and pigs ruled unchanged, sows at $6.25 down and pigs at $6.75 down. Despite a large run in Chicago, shippers were active in the early market, and together with local buyers succeeded in effecting an excellent and rapid clearance. Only the depressing influence of lower markets elsewhere kept local prices from scoring and advance, marketwiae traders believed. Light receipts are expected until such time as the weather clears an* roads settle. Continuation of the better feeling prevailing in the cattle market was the feature of trading in this division and prices held fully steady with receipts of 1,000 iy> more than matching the deman/ Sales of all good and prime stock were regarded as fully steady while even the common grades came in for their shirty of the improved sentiment in the trade.

CALIFORNIA TIRED OF CONSERVATISM Slate Believed Ready to Turn Progressive. Bii Times Special SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 30.—Simultaneously with the announcement that President Coolidge will seek to capture California's delegation in the primaries of that State, come first indications that the State is ready to react from the wave of conservatism which swept Friend W. Richardson, candidate of the corporations, into the Governor’s office a’year ago. Expose of a gigantic tax dodging scheme 'by the two big railroad companies of California, the Southern Pacific and the Santa Fe, has just been made by a court decision ordering the companies to pay $9,000,000 into she State treasury under the progfessive King tax law of 1921, since almost nullified by the reactionary administration of Richardson. The roads have not yet decided whether to take an appeal to the United States Supreme Court, but these figures, it is believed, have given them little on which to base an appeal. Califoronia progressives acclaim the decision as powerful ammunition in their fight , to send a progressive Legislature to the Capitol next year, and a progressive delegation to the Republican nominating convention.

QUICK SAYS JAP 1 PROBLEM MUSI BE, SOLVED AT ONCE Orientals Embittered at U. S. Land Policy, Writer Declares. By HERBERT QUICK Mr. K. K. Kawamakina is a Japanese writer whose articles it behooves all of us to read when we can, for he interprets to us very clearly and sanely the feelings in Japan toward the American people and our governmental policies. T hope he will undertake as clearly and sanely to interpret the American mentality to Japan. A good deal needs to be done on both sides, unless our nations are to become increasingly embittered toward each other; and increasing bit ter nee# would be perhaps a world misfortune. Mr. Kawamakina tells us that the Japanese are hurt a.nd embittered and puzzled at the land policy of California and some other States which which denies to Japanese the right to hold lands, and at our agitation against letting Japanese in as citizens. He says that the Japanese regard this as an assertion on our part that the Japanese are our inferiors. Os course, a great many Americans ao think the Japanese inferior to us. So most Japanese think inferior to them. So all peoples, sW far as the masses are concsmed, think all other peoples inferior to them. Fundamentally, our aversion to Japanese admixture is based upon a more or less clear consciousness that the Japanese are economically superior to us. and that we cannot compete with them. As long as our society is based on a one-sided competition of men for the use of the soil, we cannot as Americans compete with Japanese. When they coma into any land, we have to move out. ’ r hev are too strong for us in their competition for land. Our standards of living are such that the Japanese in any community ruin it for American ocupancy. Now this was true years ago with the Germans, for instance. But after a generation or so, the Germans and the Americans mingled and the problem solved itself. This is not so with the Japanese. They do not intermarry with the Americans or tha Americans with .them, without too great a racial shock on both sides. And this is the real reason why we must go on and keep the Japanese out. We must do it. or problems will arise in the future graver than any which we can face now.
