STOCK OPENING IS MORE QUIET IN USTTODAY Rails in Better Demand; Industrial List Fractionally Higher.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 201.97, up .52. Average of twenty rails was 140.81, off .21. Average of forty bonds was 99.33, up .04. Bil Vnixed Press NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—Stock trading quieted down somewhat today from the hectic activity of the sessions of last week and prices moved in a narrow range in the earlier dealings. Rail shares were in better demand, with few exceptions, and the general price level of the industrial list was fractionally higher at the opening, but sagged in the early dealings. St. Paul issues ran up to new high levels, Frisco ruling strong and New York Central gaining % to 163%. Union Pacific rose % to 192%. Moving against the trend in this group were Missouri Pacific, which declined 1% to 50% and New Haven % to 64%. G. M. C. Lower General Motors opened off % to 136 and then dropped to 135%, while United States Steel, which opened unchanged at 150%, dropped a point to 749%. Radio Corporation was active around 100%, a decline of 1% from the previous close. Simmons company lost 1% to 63%. Motors shares were somewhat irregular and oils steady to firm. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Bearish sentiment was encouraged by heavy offerings of stock brought out Saturday by the rally which followed President Coolidge’s statement on brokers loans. It was argued that leaders were becoming increasingly hard to bull and this theory caused aggressive drives on the pivotal issues at the start of the new week.” Little Improvement Some improvement was noted in the leading issues around noon, but the firmer tendency was only momentary. At the same time special issues were carried into record territory. Com Products, National Bellas, Hess, Westinghouse Air Brake, Kraft Cheese and Texas & Pacific soared to new high levels, the latter gaining 5% to 106%. . Case Threshing Machine was carried up 3 points to 273, Allied Chemical 2% to 158%, Columbian Carbon 3% to 96%, and National Distillers 1% to 58%.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 9.—About a week ago, economists in convention at Washington tried to ascertain from the Federal Reserve Board at what figure they would take some action to check expansion of credits. As might have keen expected, they did not obtain an answer, but the answer came from an unexpected, though very authoritative, place—from the White House. And now we have the answer in another form from the secretary of the treasury offering a 3% per cent issue to take the place of a 4!4 per cent issue. So much for the money market. Had I participated in the economists’ convention I would ‘have suggested the advisability of asking for informaiton as to what part of cur brokers’ loans reports paid in financing the thirteen billion of foreign loans being carried in this country, intended to put the world back on a prosperous basis. If some one in high place would be good enough to throw some light on this subject, we will all be able to discuss brokers’ loans more intelligently and probably not feel so nervous about it.

Jan. 9.—Smuggling of diamonds, stowaways, liquor and immigrants into this country was never more flagrant than now, according to evidence presented to Congress by Treasury and Labor Department spokesmen.

More than $25,000,000 worth of gems is estimated to have entered this country in this way in the last two years.

HOOVER GAINS IN FOLLOWING OVERJOUNTRY Close Friends Deny National Campaign Organization . to Be Formed. RAYMOND CLAPPER, United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 9.—Further evidence of the increasing strength of Herbert Hoover as a Republican presidential possibility has developed as follows; Chairman Butler of the Republican national committee said that in view of President Coolidge’s expressed de/ire not to run, Hoover has a stronger following in the East and Far West than the President. The New Jersey Republican State committee has pledged its support to Hoover following indorsements by Senator Edge, Senator Frelinghuysen and Representative Eaton. No General Headquarters It was learned that pledges of support are expected from some prominent Republicans in Kentucky shortly. Close friends of Hoover deny that a national campaign organization is about to be set up and a national campaign manager appointed. They, believe that his strength is growing sufficiently fast without attempting an expensive formal organization. Hoover is against any such step and prefers to go on with his job as secretary of commerce in the same way that Smith is going on with his job at Albany. Hoover’s friends in New York are jdiscussing the formation of a volunteer Hoover-for-President committee. Those interested in this include Undersecretary of the Treasury Ogden Mills and Assistant Attorney General Donovan. Work Is Chief Backer The big advantage Hoover has ne w is the inability of Dawes to become active. Dawes has pledged himself to Lowden. Lowden rppeals mostly to a different group than Hoover, so there is little real conflict there. So long as this situation continues, the Hoover forces feel ..at they will do better by continuing as at present, lining up key men m various States. Secretary of Interior Work is regarded as the nearest Jffing to a campaign manager that Hoover has. But he will take .no formal part in the pre-convention campaign. As Postmaster General for* some ■ time before becoming Secretary of i Interior, Work made many contacts | among Republicans throughout the | country which will be valuable to ; Hoover.
