NASH FEATURES MARKET RISE IN EARLTDEALS Steels Up Fractionally; Coppers Strong; Motors in Demand.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty Industrials Thursday was 309.39, off .94 Average of twenty rails was 154.00. off .86. Average of forty bonds was 96.05, off .02. BY ELMER C. WALZER, United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Jan. 25.—Gains of two to four points generally were made in the early trading on the stock exchange as traders received news of the small increase in brokerage loans and the improved condition of the federal reserve. Bethlehem Steel went up 2*4 points to 83 reflecting satisfaction over the action of directors Thursday in placing the stock on a $4 annual dividend basis after dividends had been passed for nearly five years. United States Steel rose to 189, up 5*4 points, and this further aided the market. Representative issues were turning over heavily at higher prices. National Power and Light opened with 22,000 shares at 50%, up I*4 points and anew high record. The opening on steel was for 10,000 shares at 76, up 3%, and Indian Refining 10,000 shares at 34, up %. General Motors new stock advanced more than a point to 82%, General Electric nearly 3 to 241, American Can 1% to 114% and Union Carbide 4% to 180%. Copper stocks were strong with Kennecott up 1% at 154%, Greene Cananea up 4% to 180% and Anaconda up 1 at 125*4. Rails held well, featured by Canadian Pacific which rose nearly four points to 252%. Motors and sugars were in demand. American Sugar rose to a new high on the movement with a gain of more than a point. Congress Cigar featured the tobacco shares rising two points to 83%. Nash Motors opened on a block of 32,000 shares at slls per share, up $5 each from the previous close. This stock has been particularly strong on the theory the company would be merged with Packard. Talk also was heard that a 10 per cent stock dividend would be declared following a higher earnings report. Announcement at the outset that the'stock exchange had decided to increase memberships to 1,375 helped the market materially. Traders held the opinion that the governors of the exchange were convinced the present demand for st.cks would continue, with trading at a five-million-share pace or larger. Another factor in restoring confidence after yesterday's irregularity was the retention of the 5 per cent rediscount rate by the New York Federal Reserve bank. Brokers’ loans increased only $59,000,000 from the erroneous figure realized a week ago ago by the federal reserve. This was corrected yesterday, making the increase only $48,000,000, much smaller than had been expected. The reserve ratio increased for the New York bank and for the system as a whole. Strength in General Motors and motor shares as a whole was attributable to a great extent to optimistic predictions on a record year for the industry, made by Alfred P. Sloan Jr., president of General Motors.

In the Stock Market

By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 26.—The brokers loans statement held a surprise in that the increase fell far short of expectations. An equally surprising showing is the local federal reserves gold ratio at above 80 per cent selling at rest for the time being talk of an advr. ice in discount rates. The call rate is expected to move upward toward the end of the month, the possibility of 10 to 12 per cent being suggested. Montgomery Wards annual report falls far sho*t of earlier estimates and the inauguration of dividends by Beth Steel is probably discounted in the price. The situation still calls for conservative action. NEW YORK COFFEE RANGE J 3D. 24 High. Low. CLose.

GRAINS GO UP; WEATHER AIDS BULUSHTREND Further Boosts Forecast on Later News From Winter Belt. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 28.—A1l grains opened strong and moved upward on the Board of Trade here today. Existing weather conditions had a bullish influence on trading. At the opening, wheat was % to % cent higher, corn was up to % cent, and oats were Vs to Vi cent higher. Provisions were about unchanged. Sentiment in wheat is divided more evenly and, although American prices still are above European levels, many look for higher movements if news from the winter belt becomes more bullish. Weather this morning was much colder. Liverpool opened lower than expected. Corn has been getting good support on the declines, but many longs who sold out May around $1 are waiting for still lower prices before reinstating their lines. The seaboard reported export sales of 200,000 to 250,000 bushels the first in some time. Trading in oats has been more active, but realizing sales have been tending to offset commission house buying and the strong cash market. Chicago Grain Table ——Jan. 25WHEAT— Prev. High.

RALLY TO BALK HUGE BOOST IN DRY FUND Administration Hopes to Kill $25,000,000 Increase in Committee. BY CECIL OWEN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—Opposition to the $24,000,000 prohibition rider on the deficiency bill gathered strength today as the administration moved to defeat the amendment In conference beween the two houses of congress. Four of the six conferees to be appointed by senate and house for consideration of the deficiency bill are regarded as hostile to the amendment, it was learned. Sentiment also is strong against the tax refund publicity clause. Secretary Mellon, it become known, is even firmer in his opposition to the amended Harris amendment which would create a total dry enforcement fund of $37,500,000 to be spent under the direction of the President than he was to the former proposal to place the entire fund in his hands. The treasury head favors waiting until the commission President-Elect Hoover is to appoint has completed its study before adding to the nation’s bill for dry law enforcement. Split in Dry League Dissension in the ranks of the Anti-Saloon League over the $24,000,000 appropriation partially was healed today when F. Scott McBride, general and legislative superintendent, offered to relinquish the latter post. Mcßride’s dual leadership of the dry league has been challenged by other league officials because of differences within the organization brought to the fore by a dispute about the proposed txtra dry fund. Replying to his critics today, McBride said: “I believe I have been consistent in my stand. From the very first I advocated the increased appropriation, but I also agreed with Mr. Mellon that the additional funds should not be handed out haphazardly. The original amendment, as drafted by Senator Harris, was a blanket appropriation and it later was changed in accordance with my views. “I could not tolerate careless or loose appropriations and the business men who. back the league would not stand for our indorsement of such appropriations.” Ready to Give Up Job Acknowledging the existence of some disaffection within the league, Mcßride said: “I have enemies within the league and some have ‘sore thumbs’ because of my selection as general superintendent, but I believe the league is operating as harmoniously a 5; it ever did. I would be glad if the executive committee would select a man to handle the legislaitve work under my jurisdiction. It certainly would take a great amount of detail from my shoulders.” Critics of Mcßride charged he was neglecting his legislative duties and regarded a statement by Bishops S. E. Nicholson ana James Cannon Jr. as a repudiation of the superintendent’s stand on the big dry fund. Holds Congress Safely Dry "I do not so regard the bishops’ statement,” Mcßride said. “If I had written it, I would not have included certain parts, which were intended as a move to force Mellon to accept the appropriation. With a dry majority in congress there was no need to have Mellon’s indorsement.” Mcßride added that the fact the next congress will have 329 dry members in the house, compared to 106 wets, and 80 drys in the senate against 16 wets, answers the charge that he was neglecting the legislative work.
