STOCKS TURN OVER HEAVILY ON MANGE Steel Falls Off Sharply on Theory of Falling Off in Profits. Average Stock Prices Average of twenty industrials Saturday was 198.87, off 1.44. Average of twenty rails was 137.33, off .72. Average of forty bonds was 99.33, off .01. B" Times Special NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Stocks turned over in heavy volumn in early trading today with prices irregular. A long list of industrials was moving around the previous closing prices while some of the special issues made rather wide swings. United States Steel fell off sharply on the theory its report to be issued Tuesday for the fourth quarter would show a marked falling off in profits. This stock had a split opening of 900 shares at 1451s to 145 U, off 114 to 114. General Motors was holding at 13314 off % and other motor shares moved narrowly with a fair amount of activity in Hupp. Yellow Truck advanced nearly a point to 3414. Patino Mines U p Patino Mines was a strong feature of the mining group rising to anew record at 2814 up 3 /4. Rails continued irregular with the majority easier. Among specialities Mullins Body dropped more than 2 points. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said today: “Consideration of financial conditions over the week-end converged almost entirely on the credit policy of the Federal Reserve Bank. It was gnerally agreed that the rediscount increases at Chicago and Richmond presaged tighter money conditions here even if they did not prove to be forerunners of an advance in the local bank rate. Many Traders Out "Money traders decided to retire from the market until the outcome of the present situation might be determined. As the result the main body of stocks was forced to absorb heavy selling in the early dealings." Further heavy selling broke out In the early forenoon. Professionals were agressively bearish and operations for the decline were pushed with increasing confidence. Interests working for lower prices stressed the unfavorable earnings statements for last year by various corporations, firmer money rates and continued liquidation of Government securities by Federal Reserve banks.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomsou & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Jan. 30.—N0 less authority than the monthly publication of the National Bank of Commerce says, “Creditwise the country is in a position midway between the fundamental ease of 1924 and the extreme stringency of 1920, and a period of firmer rates is at/ hand unless conditions should develop resulting in anew movement of gold toward the United States.” On the other side, where they are watching gold movements very closely, two opinions are cabled, which are published this morning, one believing that exports of gold from the United States are at an end, and the other that they will continue. That’s something like our own opinions here—that the market will go up and the market will go down. We emphasize this subject because our whole market structure is going to be affected by the ease or the stringency of money. Os course, even when money is very tight there are some who are able to go on and buy enough of one stock or another to attract attention, but these are not always permanent more like companionate marriages* won’t last. We believe that we will have 9, substantial setback before we haVe another broad, rising market. In the Sugar Market (By Thomson & McKinnon) NE3V YORK. Jan. 30.—Although sentiment in the sugar futures market is somewhat divided it seems to lean more towards the constructive side. There Is, however, a tendency to await further developments affd sugar Is now being produced very rapidly m Cuba anil while the season of maximum supplies has not vet been reached the .market, is beginning’to anticipate future developments resulting in a disposition to switch from the near to the distant positions. On Saturday 16.000 tons were sold to refiners, on a basis of 4.40 c delivered and 2%0 cost and freight. While there is likely to be some unsettlement in the near months, we still believe the distant positions will do better. By United Press NEW YORK. Jan. 30.—Raw sugar futures opened unchanged to 2 points lower. March. 2.67; May, 2.74; July, 2.82; September. 2.89; December, 2.97; January, 2.93. Local Wagon Wheat Local grain elevators are paying $1.37 ter No. 2 red -wheat. Other grades are purchased or. their merits.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan 30.—Early cables from Liverpool are better, and a higher opening in New York Is indicated, but the disposition to seU spot cotton ln the Bouth Is too strong to change abruptly. Upturns for the present will not be extensive, ln our opinion. MAD DOG SCARE WANES Pup Escaped From Pound Not Infected With Rabies. Fear of residents of the Warfliegh addition that a dog escaped from the Indianapolis dog pound was infected with rabies was dispelled by pound employes today. The dog had bitten two persons, but is merely vicious and not mad, Dr. Elizabeth Conger, pound master, stated. Had the dog been mad it would have been dead long ago, since forty-eight hours is the limit of life with rabies. Dr. Conger pointed out.

GRAIN FUTURES FIRM DESPITE BEARISH NEWS _ i Enormous Receipts Depress Corn Only Slightly; Others Lower. Bit United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 30.—Grain futures were surprisingly firm on the Chicago Board of Trade today, despite predominating bearish influences. Enormous receipts depressed com only slightly. Late in the day wheat was off around % cent; com was about % cent lower; and oats was a shade lower. Tlie v/heat market received the full force of a combination of bearish factors. Foreign markets declined on the approach of new southern hemisphere wheat to Europe. Southern points reported some snow over the week-end, alleviating the danger to winter wheat from cold and lack of snow coverage. Corn receipts of 1.045 cars, the largest shipment on the new* crop, depressed futures early. It had little effect on the cash market. The tone immediately firmed, and held surprisingly steady during the entire morning. Late in the day weakness developed, but there was no sharp decline up to the final hour. Oats showed little change in dull and featureless session. Provisions worked lower on large hog receipts.

SEEK TAX MANDATE Claimants File Suit for $4,807 in Refund. Suit was filed in Circuit Court today by eleven township taxpayers to mandate County Auditor Harry Dunn to pay horizontal tax refund claims amounting to $4,807. The suit was brought after formal claim was made on Dur.n by William Bosson, attorney representing the claimants. Dunn refused because they are no funds available since the county council sliced appropriations from the annual budget in September. The suit alleges that county commissioners authorized payment of these rebate claims last April. According to Dunn, this was done so test cases could be brought in county courts. Bosson, however, averred that since the claims were allowed they should be paid on demand. The State Supreme Court last year held the horizontal tax increase of 1919, 1920 and 1921 were illegal.

GOOD OUTLOOK PREDICTED FOR 1928 FARMERS Department of Agriculture Sees Favorable Conditions Ahead. 811 United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.—Farmers may expect a fairly good year in 1928, the Agriculture Department predicted today. General improvement in the agriculture situation was forecast, providing farmers avoid sensational expansion and continue to balance production with demand. The Government “1928 Agriculture Outlook” said farmers may anticipate a domestic market this year equal to that of 1927 with possibility of some improvement. Foreign demand, however, will be no better this year than last, it was stated. Farm labor will be plentiful this year, the department continues. Farm wages and prices of farm machinery are not likely to change, and building materials will be lower, it was stated. Credit Looks Better “The agriculture credit situation in most sections is somewhat improved over a year ago,” the Outlook said. “Cotton growers, when they begin to market the 1928 crop, will meet the relatively favorable condition of a smaller carry-over than last year, and a demand situation about the same as for the 1927 crop. Danger of damage from boll weevil still exists in spite of the extremely low temperatures in January and still looms as material factor in determining yield per acre.” The world wheat crop this year “will probably again be larger and unless there is a heavy winter killing in hard wheat areas any material increase in acreage in the United States will tend to increase the world supply and probably reduce returns to growers, the Outlook w Lined. Com Normal Farmers will make only slight changes in corn acreage This year, the department said. It pointed out that with average yields a normal corn crop will be produced and prices will be slightly higher than last year’s. Other points in the outlook included : Flax acreage can be expanded profitably. Reduce rice acreage. The 1928 hay crop will exceed normal livestock l’equirements. Market supplies of beef cattle will be smaller this year than last by 6 to 10 per cent. Hogs Likely Stronger Light wool stocks indicate favorable outlook for wool growers. Dairy industry is in strong position. Further decrease in number of mules and horses for w'ork indicated, resulting eventually in higher prices for these animals. Poultry prdoucers have prospects for higher price levels. Prices of feed by-products probably will be higher; hay lower. Potato growers indicate expanding acreage, which probably will result in low'er prices. Reduction in sweet potatoes, cabbage and onion acreage needed. Tobacco outlook does not justify material changes in acreage. Outlook is for sugar points to continue large world production with prices at about same level as now. W. C. T. U.
