RAILS IMPROVE IN MART; LIST HOLDSUNEVEN St. Paul Issues All in New High Ground on I. C. C. Approval.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Tuesday was 197.52, off 2.11. Average of twenty rails was 138.48, off 1. Average of forty bonds was 99.38, up .01. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Some of the railroad stocks improved in early dealings on the New York itock Exchange today. St. Paul issues all moved into new high ground following approval by the I. O. C. of the road’s reorganization plan. However, the general market continued to show irregularity. St. Paul common moved up nearly a point to 20%, the preferred two points to 39 and the preferred certificates 1% to 38, all of them new records for the past year or more. Other railroad issues brightened somewhat. New York Central rose a point to 161% and Texas & Pacific purted a point to anew high at 108%. Bangor & Aroostook was up l'/g at 83%. Special issues made progress while leaders like steel and General Motors slid down fractionally. Com Products was selling at 71%, up % point, while Green Copper shot up 5% to 129%. Some of the motor shares made progress, notably Yellow Truck which gained 1% points to 35. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Stocks were given a better tone in early dealings by the overnight announcement that the Interstate Commerce Commission has approved the St. Paul reorganization plan. “Industrials continued mixed. Strength in special stocks reflected strong confidence on the part of pool managers.” Stocks rallied sharply around noon on the absence of important liquidation. Shorts who put out iin.es in the reaction Tuesday rushed to cover their committments and big gains were made by issues which were heavily sold in the previous session. Oils came forward on the lower production figures and rails were in better demand. Phillips Petroleum, Marland Oil and General Asphalt were in*particular demand in the oil group, while Canadian Pacific & Frisco furnished the features in the rails. Steel common came back nearly 2 points from its early lower but General Motors was sluggish at slightly higher prices.

In the Cotton Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Jan. 11.—There Is a big spot business doing In Liverpool, but the contract market is weak.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—On the surface, Tuesday’s stock market looked as poor as we have seen it in a long time. Not so much because it was reactionary, for the most confirmed bull will ad nit that a reaction was overdue. The market, in our opinion, looked bad because of a failure to respond to the most bullish news that we have had in several months—the huge increase in steel tonnage. You know, it Is pretty safe, as a rule, to proceed on the theory that when a market does not respond the chances are that there is something beneath the surface that is working in the other direction. However, we are disposed to suspend judgment for another hour to see what, if any attention will be given to another piece of bullish news—the approval of the reorganization plan of the St. Paul Railroad by the Interstate Commerce Commission. This was published after the close Tuesday. An unexpected bearish influence may develop from the criticism of the President because of his recent remarks on loans. Tnere is a little politics in it and has already reached the editorial pages.

TILL IS LOOTED BY OTBANDIT Mournful Robber Resumes His Forays. The “mournful bandit” resumed activites today after a day’s rest, and staging a daring early morning hold-up at the Standard Grocery, 2816 Clifton St., fired a shot to stop pursuers. It was at this grocery that four Negroes shot and killed Charles Conrad, manager, three months ago. The “mournful bandit” continued his practice of handing out homemade calling cards, leaving one Inscribed the “Mournful Bandit” in the store as he escaped. Arest Stylings, 21, grocery manager, was putting some money in the cash register when he looked up into a gun and heard the bandit say: “Let me have it.” “Help yourself,” Stallings replied, remembering the fate of Conrad. Taking the sl2 the bandit dashed out. An elderly man, standing at the front door, jumped aside instead of heeding his call to “Stop that robber,” Stallings said. L. M. Burch, 1128 W. TwentyEighth St., heard Stallings’ calls for help and started in chase. The bandit turned as he ran and fired back at Burch and others who had joined in the chase. Another man joined him at Barnes Ave. and Twenty-Ninth St. and both disappeared.

By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 11. —Tuesday’s bearish Government corn report induced considerably less weakness than expected, and all g ains were holding about steady late in today’s session on the Chicago Board of* Trade. Oats showed some strength, and gained a fraction. Wheat broke with other grains at the opening, when the first force of the bearish com report struck the pit Sentiment on the whole was bearish, but there was no aggressive pressure either way. Corn declined sharply at the opening, under the influence of high Government crop figures. All futures sold off around 1 cent. Commission houses, however, snapped up the offerings of liquidation holders, and a rally ensued which recovered all grains, and late in th day was still boosting prices. Oats showed more independent strength than the maiket had exhibited for some time. Prices rallied easily after the opening drop, and led the upturn after mid-session. Receipts were 41 cars.

HAMMER DEATH PROBEDBY JURY Charge Against Young Wife May Be Reduced. Bji United Press PAINESVILLE, Ohio, Jan. 11.— The grand jury considering the hammer slaying of Edward West, Perry nurseryman, by his wife, Velma, entered the third day oi its investigation today with the assurance that no report would be made until Thursday. An indictment charging murder in the first degree is expected to be returned against the prety, city-bred wife who killed her husband with a claw hammer and then attended a party in Cleveland, where she joined with other guests in playing bridge. Prediction also was made that temporary insanity, self-defense and other alleged causes leading to the murder might induce the grand jury to reduce the charge to second degree homicide. More than fifty witnesses already have testified before the thirteen men and two women comprising the jury, and there was a possibility of several surprise witnesses being brought in today.
