5 TO 10 CENT REDUCTION MADE ON HOGS

Better tone in STOCK EXCHANGE CGfffiUES TODAY Most Issues Fractionally Higher—Advances Substantial. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—The better tone which pervaded the stock market on Saturday was in order again today, with most issues fractionally higher in early dealings. Several substantial advances occurred in i-epresentative issues at the opening and prices moved still higher later. / 1 Wall Street was not concerned about a deficit of $15,947,250 shown in Saturday's clearing houise statement, looking upon it as a bookkeeping proposition, which could be speedily corrected by having recourse to the enormous credit supply of reserve. Consequently, the end bank showing did not check the rally which developed in Satm-day’s trading and further substantial recoveries took place in early dealings. Stocks continued to give evidence (if an oversold condition in the general list. It was evident that shorts were becoming nervous over the ex-tent-of the recovery and further covering resulted in additional gains in the speculative leaders. A better feeling regarding the Mexican situation -due to the reinstatement of a number of drilling permits brought good comebacks in stocks which had been depressed by this trouble. American Smelting led the rally in this .class, running up 3V4 jioints to *140%. Chicago Pneumatic Tool was the outstanding feature of the industrial specialties, advancing 2 points to 132 in response to favorable 1926 earnings. Maytag was another strong specialty, moving up to the best levels of the year at 27*4. a gain of % points from the previous close. Buying was based on the expectation of an extra dividend of 25 cents, in addition to the regular quarterly dividend of 50 cents at the Feb. 17 meeting.

CHANGE IN WHEAT NOT VERY URGE Riicago Price Steady to Fraction Up. [in l niied Press CHICAGO, Jan. 31.—With Liverpool about as due and Buenos Aires slightly lower than expected, wheat opened unchanged to % higher than the pi-evious close on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Sentiment in the trade is mixed with indications that leadership is needed and price fluctuations are expected to be narrow unless some unforeseen development brings aggressive operations on one side or the other. Corn opened unchanged t 6 % lower. The factor of paramount importance in this grain is the weakness in the cash market. Oats opened unchanged to Vs lower. Most traders have deserted this pit. There is a time when patience ceases to be a virtue, according to adage, and now the longs in oats are apparently losing patience. Provisions opened unchanged.

INTEREST RATE REDUCED Springfield Federal Land Bank Drops to 5 Per Cent on Loans. Flu United Preen WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.—The Springfield Federal Land Bank, serving New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts. Vermont. New Hampshire and Maine, today reduced its interest •ite on new loans to 5 per cent, ef:ctive Feb. 1. A. C. Williams, in announcing the reduction of one-half of 1 per cent, said the move was the policy of the board to give farmer borrowers the lowest rate possible, consistent with sound banking.

‘CHICAGO’ IS A HIT IN NEW YORK, HINES CONTENDS George Gaul Is in Cast of Russian Play on Jroadway. By Dixie Hines NEW YORK, Jan. ’<- —a young woman from the Chicago newspaper field, Maurine Watkins by name, has written a satire about yellow journalism, tabloid picture journalism, the sob sister circle, and the procedure in criminal cases in that city, and she has called it “Chicago.” It w r as produced in New York last week with an accompaniment of jazz, satire, burlesque and what not, and while it may be caviare to the general, it was excellent for the experienced play-goer who followed the lines of the play and its accompanying scenes, from the time of the murder of a lover by a woman who is cheating on her husband, through her entire incarceration in jail and her trial and acquittal. This does not sound like a story susceptible of satire, but to be made nrivy to the staging of the trial by her lawyer and an alert reporter, with the posings of pictures, the faked sentiment, everything to influence the public through the sensational press and the judge and jury at the trial. For a time the audience appeared io be somewhat dubious about what it all meant, but when they enjoyed an awakening the theater resounded with laughter save from a small bunch in an inconspicuous corner, and they, it was asserted, were Chicagoans. Francine Larrimore is the good-looking murderess who. because of Nation-wide publicity, becomes a vaudeville and screen star. Charles Bickford acted the re-

porter with more skill than is usuel in stage reporters, and Edward Ellis was altogether delighted as the counsel for the defense. In short, the play was admirably staged, and the authoress knew her onions, as Broadway would put it. Gaul in Cast Seven years ago a performance of “The Brothers Karamazov” was acted in French in New York. Last year it was again acted, this time in the native Russian, by the Moscow group. Last week the Theatre Guild gave a graphic performance of it in English. The story, as may he inferred, was written voluminously by Dostoevsky, the great Russian novelist, and the adaptation for stage uses, especially in the English version, which is, by a strange coincidence, an English adaptation of the French adaptation of the original Russian, if you follow me. The story of this family of father, three legitimate and one illegitimate son, and those brought into contact with them, is really a dramatization of a condition of mind. Its great interest lies in the superb manner in which this story, one of the greatest in Russian literature, has been staged under the direction of Jacques Copean. who was the French director, who produced it first in this country, and who made the first adaptation, and the remarkably fine acting of played of the calibre of George Gaul, Alfred Lunt, Morris Carnovsky, Edward Robinson, Lynn Fontaine and Claire Eames. It is a production worthy of the best that has heretofore been done by the Theatre Guild, and most of New York’s discriminating playgoers will see it before its end. The selection of names for plays, particularly those destined for Broadway, is a science in itself. This fact was demonstrated last week when a play called “Junk” arrived in town. “Junk” is not noteworthy except for the good intentions, and the futile efforts of producer and players to make it acceptable. Hardly a newspaper review failed to suggest that the title of the play was appropriate and carried its own story. Asa matter of fact “Junk” has some interesting moments, or rather some of the players in “Junk” forced attention from the audience by their excellent acting. Sydney Greenstreet, Marguerite Moshier and Calvin Thomas had the hardest tasks. With the material in hand they were commendably adept. The author is Edwin B. Self, and the story concerns a rotund, good-

It was generally 5 to 10 cents lower on the hundredweight, averaging around 10 cents. This move was in sympathy with a steady-to-cents-lower market at Chicago, where prices are still averaging lower than at the Indianapolis Union Stockyards. Most of the trading was done at $12.20® 12.50, with the latter figure as top price. The Chicago stockyards wan getting $12.00® 12.23 for the hulk of its offerings.

There was very little that was new in the play, and even that which was not was not particularly interesting. However, the blame, such as it is, should be charged to the author rather than the actors and those who put them through their paces in rehearsal. "Faust” Again “Faust,” a dramatic version of the Goethe poem, had things done to it by Edythe Totten. It may be recalled by those who are familiar with the play as done so many years by the late Lewis Morrison, and more recently John Griffith and John Kellerd, that towards the end of the play Mephisto descends to his domain in the nethermost regions. The trouble with the present version Is that Mephisto waited until the third act to do this when it should have been done in the first and he should have taken the play along with him. Earl Carroll gave another version of his Vanities show. Each succeeding version of the Vanities is so alike the one preceding that they might all be sets of twins. “The Black Cockatoo,” produced by Frank Martins, stopped crowing after the third performance. It suffered from too many crippled checks limping back to the actors.

‘DADDY’LOSES ON ‘PEACHES'DIARY (Continued From Page 1) of Browning offer Miss Tussey money for her testimony, as Miss Tussey had testified previously. Mrs. Louisa Croner gave testimony similar to Mrs Lew. Then Fieldenweider, manager of a newspaper feature syndicate, told how the story of “Why I Left (Daddy) Browning,” came to be published. “Two days before Mrs. Browning left her husband she came to my office with her mother,” he “She told me that life with Browning was unbearable. We had previously handled ‘Reaches’ honeymoon diary’ for Mrs. Browning. • Received SI,OOO “The next week I saw her again and she agreed t owrite a series of twelve stories on her life with Browning. I gave her SI,OOO. “After those had been printed, they proved popular and she approved six more articles for which was given $100.” “Price coming down,” broke lin John F. Mack of Browning's legal staff. Three employes of the syndicate described how the stories were written and how the week following the break between Mrs. Browning and her husband, they had kept her in seclusion while the material for “Why I Left Daddy Browning” v,as being prepared. John S. Garden broke down and confessed that he really wrote the story for “Peaches,” she and her mother reading and approving it. “You are what they call a hot writer, aren't you?” a Browning lawyer commented. Garden smiled. A parade of witnesses called to paint the Browning married life, as seen in public, as a perfect idyl, followed. Very Happy Couple Miss Belle Edwards, a waitress at Kew Gardens Inn, where the Brownings lived for some time, said that they appeared a “very happy couple.” “Did you wait on their table?” the Lawyer asked. “Yes, and there were always flowers on it—he gave her flowers all the time,” she answered. Miss Edwards saw nothing to indicate, she said, that Mrs. Browning was nervous. She had observed her clothes, the witness went on, and found that they were “very nice” clothes. “You observed her clothes?" asked the attorney. “Yes, I did." Os course, you would,” commented John E. Mack, attorney for Browning. Frank M. Golden, head waiter at the inn; Edward F. McDonald, manager, and Leo Ehrenreit, t ,uest at the inn, followed Miss Edwards. They agreed with the waitress that Browning was “very considerate” to his wife; that she had shown no signs of nervousness, and that her wardrobe was “lavish,” as one described it. In cross-examination of Ehrenheit, Mrs. Browning’s attorney asked: “You wouldn’t expect a man (o beat his wife in public, would you?” “Objected to as improper,” spoke up Mack. “Yes, it would be improper to beat your wife in public,” ruled Justice Seegar, and the audience wasn’t reprimanded when it laughed.

Powders Her Nose Peaches way paying little attention to the testimony. Her nose was quite shiny and she blushed when a newspaper woman leaned over and reminded her of the fact. The powder puff was used freely. Frank Dolan, a newspaper man, said he had seen Mrs. Browning two days after she left her husband and that she had posed for photographers “after objecting mildly.” “In some of these pictures I see a very distinguished person with Mrs. Browning,” said Mack. “Who is he?” “Why, that’s me,” answered Dolan. “Have you ever been arrested?” Mrs. Browning’s lawyer shot at Dolan on cross-examination. “No—Oh, yes, sure I have,” answered Dolan. He denied, however, he had been arrested for disorderly conduct during the Leonard Kip Rhinelander marriage annulment trial. “Weren’t you arrested for pounding on the door of the county jail?” “From the inside or outside?” “Well, were you ever convicted of anything?” “No,” h eanswered, and was excused. Court then adjourned. It took fifteen minutes to get the rowd out of the courtroom, and the corridors cleared. Two policemen and several deputy sheriffs escorted Browning. The crowd began gathering ac 7 a. m. People were coming from all directions. The drawing power of the Brownings, their rubber eggs and honking ganders, was actually enhanced by three days out of court. When Frances (Peaches) Ileeiian Browning reached the courthouse she faced a solid wall of persons that refused to make way for her. Mrs. Browning’s attorneys organized a flying wedge of newspaper men when the police had trouble in parting the crowd, and they bucked and straight-armed their way through the courthouse corridor and finally landed “Peaches” in the courtroom. When the real estate operator and his estranged bridge arrived they found awaiting them equal stacks cf mail bearing postmarks from all parts of the country. The high mark in the correspondence was reached by an unsigned postcard of white cardboard two feet wide and three feet long. Its message, addressed to Browning, was: "I hope you win, you old honking gander.” Painted on a piece of apron calico, a painting by a London plumber was recently exhibited at a London show and bought by a well-known expert.

RECOVERIES SHOW BETTERMENT FOR FEBRUARYLIKELY Movements of Past Week Failed to Impress Traders. - By Elmer C. Walzer Manager United Press Financial Service. NEW YORK, Jan. 31.—Recoveries in most sections of the stock market list on Saturday gave indication that something better could be expected from the market in the coming month. Movements in the past week failed to produce much impression on the trading community and changes of most issues were narrow and downward. When Wheeling & Lake Erie quieted down to routine operations the remainder of the market perked up. Wheeling gained 11V* points in the past six days, the best advance in the list. It ranged between 48V4 and 65, anew high, and closed at 60. The preferred stock lost 314 points, incidentally also making a new high record at 69. Traders were hartened when the old leaders —United States Steel and General Motors —came to the front again on Saturday, the former stimulated by its excellent earnings statement for the last quarter of 1926 and the latter by an estimate by Dupont Company that it would earn $21.50 a share on common stock. Steel, after reaching anew low for the year at 153 V£, snapped back to 136, a loss for the week of only V - point .while Motors reached anew high for the year and closed with a gain of 3 points. Rails Mixed Railroad stocks were mixed all week. Van Sweringen Rails coming in for heavy selling at one time. C. & O. was depressed sharply, but recovered part of its loss, closing with a recession of 3Vi points. Nickel Plate lost 2 points while Pere Marquette was up 2, and Erie 1%. Pittsburgh & West Virginia gained 3%, while Lehigh Valley lost 5V4- Department Stores were lower, heavy losses being sustained by Macy and Company, Kresge Department Stores, National Department Scores. Some of the Motor shares shot forward, notably Mack Trucks and Hudson while Nash dropped 2% for the week. Tobacco shares were lower at the end of the week. Several specialties scored excellent gains, American Republics reaching anew high for the year and making a gain of 7Vi points for the week. Amusement shares were in demand, Low’s rising 4®g and Warner Brothers pictures A 2%, Timken roller bearing gained 3%, Remington typewriter 3%, and Continental Baikng A. 4 points. On the other hand. Burns Brothers A was down 8 points. Consolidated Gas 5Vi, and Superior Steel 4*4. Mixed Movements These mixed movements characterized the stock market activity the entire month of January. The market got nowhere, as is usual at this time of the year. What will It do in February? Just now prospects seem bright for a batter state of affairs. Business is picking up despite spottiness in some quarters. Steel business is picking up, though prices are somewhat lower. That barometer which seldom fails—car loadings—is higher than last wear, and investment demand and money conditions continue to equal the best expectations.

Incidentally the month of January, without counting today, has set a new record for a single month's new financing. Already more than six hundred million dollars of new bonds have been sold and more looked for. A voracious appetite whetted by almost unlimited funds seems to grip the investment market. Bond prices are around the highest levels they have ever attained and volume of business in this market is gathering momentum daily to the despair of organizations furnishing quotations by telegraph. The number of issues brought out daily runs nearly to seven hundred and the sales volume hovers around nineteen million dollars daily, par value. Two Events There are two important events slated for the coming week, the outstanding one being the prospect of a cut in the local rediscount rate. At present the New York bank rate is 4 per cent for rediscoounts. Should the New York Federal Reserve Board see fit to reduce this to 3 J 4 at the meeting on Thursday an unprecedented wave of stock market speculation should cerainly follow. That this will be done is now almost certain because cf the continued ease of money. Call funds during the last week held at 4 per cent though this rate was shaded in the outside market. Commodity prices In the last week of January made little real change. Wheat was higher, as were other cereals on the Chicago Board of Trade and other grain markets. Cotton prices held up well and promised better market conditions in the coming week. Foreign exchange quotations are moving in a very small range since most of the European currencies seem pegged, the greater number being stabilized on a gold parity. More French gold came to the New I'ork market and the French francs held around the 4-cent level. A sharp rise in silver gave impetus to an advance in Chinese money, while Spanish pesetas, which it Is expected will soon be stabilizing at gold parity, rose to the highest point they have reached in the last six years. LOSE IDENTITY WASHINGTON. Jan. 31.—Allen tribes are steadily encroaching on the land occupied by the San Bias Indians of Panama, according to Herbert AY. Kriegeig ethnologist of the United States National Museum, and the tribe is losing its identity. Th© only method by which the San Bias could preserve their racial characteristics would be to establish a reservation and isolate the “white Indians” on it, Krieger says.
