Hu United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—lrregularity of yesterday carried over into today’s stock market price j changes ranging from fractional gains to losses totaling nearly two points. Baldwin, which spur;e l sharply in yesterday’s dealings, met profit-tak-ing in early dealings, dropping 1" to 150. Judging from action of the market at the opening, a portion of the speculative community had been keyed up to the expectation that the local hank rate would be altered downward I at the meeting after Thursday’s Pose. Disappointment in this regard was reflected in substantial offerings of some of the recent leaders. Declines Steel common declined to 15714, Baldwin 1% to 159, and Wheeling & Bake Erie, 2 to 71. However, the belief in banking circles that the postponement was only a matter of a week or so, brought, good support into the general list on price recessions and many departments showed an advancing tendaney. Favorable comment was occasioned by the manner in which the general list withstood the severe strain ,011 technical position caused by wild uprushes in special stocks. General Railway signal pushed into new high for the year at DO ! %, up to 2%, from the previous day's low. Persistent strength was due not only to large volume of new orders being received, but also to important developments pending concerning the company's affairs. Cast Iron Pipe A. M. Byers was another strong spot among industrial specialties selling at 52 V 6, against Thursday’s low of 47. A run up was accompanied by reports that the plan of a big New York banking house to merge a number 6t independent cast, iron pipe

VETERAN GOLFERS POPULAR 1 Vardon, Taylor, Ray, Herd Termed Four Horsemen of Britain. By Jimmy Powers NEA Service Writer NEW YORK, FEB. 4.—Don’t tell ! me you fiaven’t heard of the Four Horsemen? Why every jolly old English golf fan will tell you who they are. The Four Horsemen are—Harry ; Vardon. J. 11. Taylor, Ted Ray and Sandy Herd. Kid Ibanez hadn't the faintest I idea what a flock of sport bromides he was nursing when he perched his poi-table on his knee one night and hammered out the Apocalypse. Tardy Originality While our English cousins are slightly damp in the matter of originality of sporting nicknames like the above threadbare title, still j their fond christening brings to 1 light the decadence of the younger : golf school and the entrenchment of | the old ironsides which has now | brought about a condition of reverI cnee amounting almost to idolatry. { This was crystallized shortly after j the beginning of the New Year when ■ The St. Andrews moguls released the ; golf averages and standings for the season. Clive them the “double o’’ and you readily cpn see where the four veterans rate their bloody old nickname and. take it from little James, those four horsemen are not in the nag class by one heck of a long ways. Beat Many Youths Why those old geezers over there have licked the youngsters to a frazzle. J. H. Taylor leads the quartet of faitious veterans, low in scori ing and high in victories, with 73 6-10 for 22 major tournament rounds. His of victories is .444, which means he won almost as many as he lost. Ted Ray has a mark of 75 6-10 for 20 rounds, Harry Vardon has a mark of 77 7-10 for 11 rounds, while Herd has 75 6-10 for 16 rounds. They all are bunched right at the heels of Abe Mitchell and Archie Compston. the leaders. Taylor Is 56 years old. Herd is 59. Vardon is close to 50 and Ray is 54. Between them they, have won thirteen British open championships: Taylor, live; Vardon, six, and Ray and Herd one each. And to cap it all, Sandy Herd is champion of all the pros. SELLS LOVERS' LEAP By NEA Service. PALMYRA. Mo., Feb. 4.—'TJie historic bluff in Hannibal, Mo., known as “Lovers’ Leap,” was sold by the sheriff for back taxes. The land brought $7. The .bluff was named for an Indian maiden who, saddened by her unrequited love for a young warrior, cast herself from the bluff to her death. Charlotte Cushman, who gained the Hall of Fame in 1815, way the first person of the theatrical profession to win that honor.

JUMBLED TONE IN WHEAT PIT Mixed Sentiment Results From Counteracting News. Hii United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 4.—Counteracting news caused mixed sentiment in the grain pit on the Chicago Board of Trade today and prices opened % to %c higher than the previous close. Liverpool was a little stronger than due, but the exceptionally large shipments this week of 10.000,000 bushels of wheat from the southern hemisphere checked buying at the start. Corn opened (Unchanged to higher than yesterday's close. The soft weather has brought about bad roads in the interior and corn movement has been checked, while higher prices have resulted in sonqe improvement in the shipping demand. Oats were without feature nnd opened unchanged to %c higher. The weakness in this market, due to the poor quality of most of the arrivals, is offset to a certain extent by the low price.

L. F. LOREE PLANS FIFTH JINK LINE Lisman, Railroad Economist, Analyzes Project. Bu Times Special NEW YDRK, Feb. 4.—The fiftli trunk line system now in the making under the direction of Leonor F. Lores and his associate, William H. Williams, chairman of the Wabash promises to be fifty miles shorter than any existing railroad between New York and Chicago and thirty miles shorter than any between New York and St. Louis, according to F. J. Lisman, well-known railroad economist, who has analyzed the project and make£ public for the first time certain details regarding it. Lisman believes that if plans for the new system are consummated it will compete actively with the Pennsylvania, Baltimore & Ohio, New York Central and the proposed Van Sweringen system. Talk that there is no room for a fifth line, he points out, does not take into account the railroad topography of the country. Sufficient traffic exists, in his opinion, to give the system gross earnings of more than $350,000,000 a year. It would have capitalization in excess of a billion dollars. “The public seems to have no conception,” he says, “of how complete a railroad system, between the Atlantic Coast on the East and the Mississippi river on th© West, can still be created by tiie consolidation of independent connecting corporations—practically without the construction of a mile of additional line, with the exception of Lorce’s Pennsylvania project—arid by trackage rights involving altogether less than 100 miles or about 1 per cent of the total mileage."

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson ft McKinnon) KEW YORK. Feb. 4.—As we approach the raqge of high prices recently established. the market has an entirely different aspect. On the first advance prices rushed up on a speculative outburst lollowinz the srmnina fiarures. The present ad\ anee has been strictly a business one and lias its foundation on the- fact that trade buying every day is a little greater than sou*itern hedge selling. This balance in favor of the long will increase. Get the benefit of it. Buy cotton.

DAY CLOSES WITH LEADERS HIGHER; BEARS SURPRISED —■■ / Range Extends From Two Points Off to Nine Gained. By Elmer C. Walzer, Manager United Press Financial Service NEW YORK, Feb. 4.—Further encouragement was griven constructive forces on the stock exchange Thursday in various reports and rumors with the result that in spite of renewed attempts to depress the marAt leading stocks closed the day higher. Prices were irregular, however, witn gains in the ascendancy, some running up to more than nine points and losses in some cases over two points. Baldwin- shot ahead nearly nine points and f.' ase Threshing Machine soared more than nine points. Reading took the lead of the rail group, reaching anew high record since 1917 with buying based on the prospect the dividend rate would be advanced; General Motors stood out in the industrials as rumors crept into the Street it would be put on an $8 basis, compared with $7 at present; Timken Roller Bearing made anew high after it was learned the business was worth a billion dollars. Sugar shares made remarkable gains rising with the increased optimism in the local sugar market; amusement stocks fell off slightly; Steels were higher and Oils held steady. Bears Get Drubbing Bears received another drubbing in Wheeling & Lake Erie shares when the loaning rate was raised to 1% per cent, sending the issue to anew high level. This figure was subsequently reduced to per cent and the stock closed at its high of 73, up 4%. Strength in United States Steel common is not only based on the increased activity in the steel business, but is also influenced by the report of unfilled tonnage of the corporation to be issued on Feb. 30. While no considerable discussion lias been heard regarding the figure, it is pointed out that a small reduction would not cause apprehension, while an advance would do much to aid the stock market. Shortly after the Steel Corporation makes its tonnage repot t another week will have gone and another meeting of directors of the New York Federal Reserve Bank will be in session. Rate Reduction The Street confidentially expects the local rediscount rate will be reduced at this time. The subject received a dampening Thursday when the Bank of England failed to reduce its rate, but some encouragement was drawn from the cut by the Bank of France. Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, is en route home, after conferences here with banking interests. On his arrival it is expected the English rate will be reduced, and that the New York bauk will immediately follow suit. The coming week may see further advances in the market with the bears cleaning up their short commitments in anticipation of a speculative burst of bullish activity with a lower rediscount rate.

Bond buying continues strong and new offerings are still coming in at a record rate. Some profit-taking is in evidence though this is natural in view of the recent sharp gains throughout the list. Thursday’s trading saw a further advance in French issues while domestic bonds were quiet and abput steady. Curb stocks also were irregular with several special issues reaching new highs. Cotton advanced while grains lost fractionaHy after May wheat reached l anew high for the year. Foreign exchange was about steady with Spanish pesetas a weak exception. dropping 17% points. Siiver soared to new high records for the .year, sending silver currencies higher. •
