In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon i NEW YORK. Ore 30.—1 t has been a typical vear-end market, with verv little attention paid to ordinary influences, which in themselves furnished little that was Inspiring. Tradin'! was more or less processional in character and apparent:-’ much of it was in the nature of evening up commitments. There was. however, the sar.ip undercurrent of firmness *ith the market favorites comine in for special support. The money market die! not serve as factor to anv appreciable extent, as :t mereh followed the customary cour. e prior to the turn of the rear. There were the usual rumo” . as to possible mergers of industrial plants r.nd predictions of increased business for the coming year. But the one definite item of encouragement was the news of the reopening of the Lima Locomotive plant to take care of orders received. With further munsitions ov rolling stock hanging over th” market, the vear closes with a better prospect for equipment companies than has appeared during the entire twelve months. Anv declines, particularly- in irvv.':.tin nit issues, uncovered sufficient buying orders to prevent notable reactions, so that the general price level remained rbout even. Interest now convrgps on the nature of the demand to be developed auring the next week or two as new money reeks investment. A great deal of recent buvtng has probablv been in anticipation of this.* and the opportunity for pi 'fits during the next fortnight should not t} ignored. Chicago Stocks Dec. 30Opcn. High.

In the Cotton Market

'By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW Y'ORK, Dec. 30.—Thae story of the •otton market continues the same Trade i.uving at a rate slightly greater than Drofit taktng sales every da- , with a higher scale of prices as the natural result. Mill operators particularly those of the southern branch of the industry, are cheerful and there Is a feeling among them that as a result of recent conference* they have the situation better in hand from a production standpoint. At this period of the year most factors which usually go to make prices are too remote for their influences to be felt, and demand lor the finished product, with its attendant bearing on mill ouying. takes first place. We believe that present prices for cotton are equitable. Perhaps the narrow margins of profits on some lines make the producers share a trifle greater but on the whole It is natural that a commodity should advance as the supply diminishes. We favor the long side on cotton, when reactions occur. NEW OKLEAX'S High. Low. Close. January 19.77 19.63 19 67 March 19.84 19.67 19.69 May 19.84 19.66 19.69 NEW YORK High. Low.

ORAIN PRICES ARE STILL IN DOLL SESSION Corn Declines Small Fraction for Only Change in Day’s Trading. j Pm I nilrd Pn ss CHICAGO. Dec. 30.—Grain prices ! with the exception of corn, scarcely ; moved today, during one of the ; week's dullest sessions on the Chii cago Board of Trade. Late in the day wheat was practically unchanged; corn had decliend a small fraction, and oats was about unchanged. Slight weakness and erratic moveI men in the December, induced by | the nearness of the delivery date. 1 was the only features in the wheat pit. Other futures were epress and somewhat by the December’s decline, but all losses were - egained. Favorable cold weather o/er the belt weakened the corn market and caused a fractional decline. Oats was fractionally steady i.i a dull market. Tired holders did a little liquidating, but interest was lacking. Receipts were 7 1 cars. All cash markets were unchanged. Prices showed very little change at the close, although the tendency was downward. Weakness in the Decembers depressed other futures. Final fiugres: Wheat, off V, to % cent; corn, off % cent to ’i cent up; oats, cent lower to Vs cent up. Provisions closed higher. Chicago Grain Table Dec. 30 WHEAT— Prcv. Ope,,. High. Low.

SI 1 hht Lu^b ran Ifcsn si i 1$ I-J's slj w increase of $55,000 Over 1826; Answer 3,800 Alarms in 1927. Indianapolis fire loss up to date | this year was $730,000, a $65,000 in- ‘ crease over the total figure for 1920 ; according to tiic annual report bc>- | ing prepared by Lieut. Verne Ear. | of the Salvage Corps. The report goes to the National j Eoard of underwriters. The Indianapolis fire department J answered 3,800 calls thus far, while | last year the total was 3,355. Fire- ; men asserted that the rain WednesI day night cut down the usual thirty | to thirty-five calls that are sent in daily during the Christmas season. St. Patrick’s Loss Highest Largest fire loss of the year was St. Patrick’s Church, $04,000. and the second largest the recent fire at the Banner Furniture Company, which tentatively has been placed at SSO,OCO. The latter figure may be raised or lowered, Earl said. Maurice De La Tour c:::'es ed to firing St. Patrcik’s and two other Catholic churches and was sentenced to life imprisonment under the habitual criminal act. There were 150 incendiary fires, most of which either were in the northwest or southwest sections of the city. The northwest fires are attributed to a Negro firebug who has operated there for three years, burning vacant houses and barns. In the southeast section the firebug attack;; new houses, just before they are occupied. Graystone Worst Tragedy Although majority of alarms still come from the residential districts, there was a decivase in residential losses during the year of $50,000. There were 983 residential calls received in 1926 and 780 in 1927. The greatest fire tragedy in years occurred this fall with the burning of the Greystone Hotel apartments, with loss of ten lives, including one fireman. Property loss was $23,000. There was a decrease of fires from sparks on roofs of 200, which is attributed to the educational campaigns on prevention.

BLOW AT TAX BOARD Judge Rules Against Right on City Levies. Bji I mt'd Press SOUTH BEND. Ind.. Dec. 31— Judee Orlo R. Deahl Friday struck a fatal blow at the Indiana State tax beard, when he ruled that the State Legislature in 1921 had no power to authorize the board to review and revise the civil city tax levies in Indiana municipalities.
