Bp United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—Marked irregularity was again prevalent in the early dealings today on the Nev; York Stock Exchange. American Can was an active favorite.

Chrysler was an outstanding feature of the motor group turning over in heavy volume at 60%, up a point. General Motors opened 2.500 shares at 137%, and 1.200 shares at 137%, up % and %. Later the issue sold to 137 1 2 in quiet turnover. U. S. Steel sagged a % to 144% and then moved to 145. Other steels did little, rails were barely steady; sugars easier and utilities led by Consolidated Gas active and higher. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal's financial review said today: "Special stocks again exhibited considerable strength at the opening. American sold at a record high at 81. Consolidated Gas sold at a new high at 137. Metal stocks were to the fore with Anaconda and Kennecott. Radio was still under pressure and some selling of the jrails was indicated." The market continued strong with money dropping to 4% per cent around noon. This was further stimulus to the bulls. Bears in issues like American Can and Industrial Alcohol were having a hard time ot it. Rails were neglected although leaders were somewhat stronger.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Feb. 9.—More and more the action of the market Indicates that the bad news is all out and if there is any vet to come it has already been discounted.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 9.—Wednesday in the latter trading the market looked better, but not because of anything accomplished by the friends of the market, for, as you know, values were slipping badly in the morning. The good that was accomplished should be credited to the shorts. We rather imagine from the many things that wc see going on from day to day that they are crowding each other and that will, of course, be a source of support at critical periods. So far as the net result is concerned, it is largely like the day before, a great many net losses on the day. As for the spectacular issues, we, of course, had Montgomery Ward and we are very proud of this stock, because we were outspoken friends of this issue when friends were not numerous. But we also had our Freeport Texas Wednesday, so honors are sort of evened up as between the bullish and bearish accomplishments. And as for the immediate future, we remain of opinion that if you will just part with some of your holdings on the bulges you will have a little the better of the argument at the finish.

GRAIN FUTURES OPEN LOWER IN CHICAGO MART World Wheat Situation Bearish; Weather in Corn Belt Improves. F,y United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 9.—Under the influence of the bearish world wheat situation, and better weather over the corn belt, all grains opened lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat opened Vs to •% cent lower: corn, % to % cent off; and oats, 14 cent off to % cent higher. Liverpool wheat failed to follow the sharp advance here Wednesday, forcibly indicating the pressure which Argentine new wheat is exerting on the world market. Fine cold weather prevailed over the corn belt today, and most traders expected some increased marketings. Oats continued to hover around steady, weakening in tone as other grains declined.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 9 —Some of the heavy purchasinq of raw sugar Wednesday on the 2%-cent basis for Cuba.-, were instigated it was believed by the reduction in the rates for the storage of sugar In public warehouses which admitted of hedging and switching operations on the exchange at a more profitable basis.

United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, Feb. 9.—American capital is forming a silent league of nations in which its political as well as financial Influence offsets the absence of the United States from the other league at Geneva. On top of tremendous 103ns t* Germany and Poland, a $250,000,00j British-American loan to Jugo Slavia is in prospect. If it is consummated, as is regarded certain, it will make American influence dominant in the dominating nation of the little entente. Further Extension Feared Revelation here that the Jugo Slavian loan seemed in prospect of completion caused the initial reaction in financial circles today of a further big extension of American influence in Europe more potent than that of treaties and alliances based on culture and military prowess. The prospective new loan—an addition to a previous $40,000,000 loan to Jugo Slavia for railways, bridges and municipal works—was regarded as likely to cause considerable political repercussion in France and Italy, though for widely different reasons. This repercussion would be all the greater if, as was thought likely, the loan entailed the appointment of British and American financial experts as directors in Jugo Slavian finances or railways. French Safety France constructed the little entente as a safety cordon in front of Russia and behind Germany. French sensitiveness to American influence in these regions is shown by the outcry that was raised when Americans made a large loan to Poland resulting in the appointment of American experts to supervise Polish finances. With the present loan American financial influence is predominant at both ends of France’s safety cordon and means the certain dwindling of French influence. For entirely different reasons the reaction of Italy is likely to be more important because her relations with Jugo-Slavia are most delicate. Italian Premier Mussolini is watching for anything that might render Jugo-Slavia more powerful and effective as a possible enemy which the loan probably would do. Two Held for Clothing Theft Detectives Englebright and Hubbard today arrested Joseph Wiggington, 23. of 964 N. Tuxedo Ave.. on charge of robbing the home of Clarence Gedig, 140 Gimber St„ of $l5O worth of clothing on Feb. 3. Alvin Mooneyhan, 25 ,of 1328% W.

LONDON RUBBER THREATENED BY U.S. ECONOMY Prices Fall Dangerously; Continuation of Stevenson Scheme Questioned. By United Press LONDON, Feb. 9.—American economy in use of rubber threatened today to smash the Stevenson rubber restriction scheme which only two years ago caused fear that skyrocketing automobile tire prices would remain high for years. The rubber market slumped dangerously following announcement Wednesday that Prime Minister Baldwin had asked a Government committee to consider whether the scheme should be continued, modified or removed. Spot Rubber Off When the announcement was made, spot rubber was selling here at 36 cents a pound —6 cents below the level at which the Stevenson scheme was designed to maintain it. The market opened weak today, and on the stock exchange rubber shares declined. At 11 a. m. today spot rubber was selling at 33V:'.■ cents—the lowest since last November. At noon it had gone down to 32'i cents. At 12:30 the quotation was 31V* cents. Plan Denounced in United States The Stevenson scheme was denounced heatedly in the United States, and American rubber men determined to fight it. At first it seemed they had failed. They had kept rubber reserve stocks low, and had to buy largely at high prices. They began schemes of their own to grow rubber to break the BritishDutch monopoly. Harvey Firestone and Henry Ford conceived gigantic plans for American rubber plantations. But the two real factors in breaking down the scheme were first, Dutch refusal to cooperate in restricting production and secondly, American use of reclaimed rubber. Threat Breaks Mart NEW YORK. Feb. 9.—Threatened breaking up of the Stevenson rubber restriction plan caused a sharp break in the London rubber market and in turn brought prices dowm sharply in the early dealings on the New York Rubber Exchange today. Opening prices showed recessions amounting to nearly 3 cents a pound.
