In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson St McKinnon* NEW YORK, Jan. 29.—The earnings report of the steel corporation, particularly for the month of Decembe- exceeded by a wide margin most expectations. We mention the month of December particularly because operations then were at the very lowest points. With operations now substantially above those of last month, indications are that corporation earnings for the first quarter of 1930 will exceed by a fair margin those of last the three months of 1929. In some ways this report substantiates the theory expressed in well informed circles that the turn for the better in business is already under way. There is one other condition confirmatory of this. We understand that an unusually large amount of copper has been sold during the past few days with consumers perfectly willing to pay the asking price of IS cents per pound. Gradually this improvement will spread to other industries and continue to find reflection in steadily improving market outlook, an.i allowing for a few exceptional cases where downward readjustment is necessary-, we look for the advance to continue

WHEAT MARKET OPENS OFF ON CABLEREPORTS No Improvement Noted in Foreign Demand; Corn Weak. Bu United Press CHICAGO. Jan. 29.—Wheat opened fractionally lower on the Board of Trade today, due to weakness at Liverpool. Foreign demand has not improved any and trading is quiet. Com declined with wheat, but showed a stubborn resistance due to moderately light receipts, (pats were lower. At the opening w T heat was % to Vz cent lower, corn was unchanged to % cent down, and oats was 14 cent higher to 14 cent lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool was % to ’,-2 cent lower late in the day, after opening firm. Ruenos Aires followed Liverpool in the fractional losses during the earlyperiod, and at mid-day was 1% cents lower. Traders are under the impression that wheat is well sold out here and there is no disposition to press the market. There I was no change in fundamental con- i dition as export demand has not ! picked up any so far. Corn is showing resistance to the weakness in wheat, due to decrease in the volume of country movement. Only lower grades are being offered as farmers are holding the better for improved prices. Weather continues favorable, though considerable colder over the corn belt. Oats declined in sympathy with the major grains, with most of the liquidation coming from tired holders.

Rules Made to Break , Bridge Contest Proves

THE old saying that “To be a bridge expert you must know the conventions and when break them” was proved true again in the eleventh of Milton C. Work's Radio Bridge Games, broadcast Tuesday from staiton WFBM, with Mrs. Ella G. Pimm of Montreal, Mrs. William C. Ryan of San Antonio. Shepard G. Barclay of New York and E. J. Tobin of Chicago as players. The cards were: Mrs. Pimm, dealer, South: Spades, A, 5,4, 3: Hearts, 4,2; Diamonds, A, K, 6,4: Clubs, A, K, 5. Barclay, West: Spades, K, J, 9,7, 6; Hearts, Q, 8,7: Diamonds, 9; Clubs, Q 9,8, 4. Tobin, North: Spades, 8; Hearts, A, K, 10, 9,3; Diamonds, 7,5, 2; Clubs, 7, 6 3, 2. Mrs. Ryan East: Spades, Q, 10, 2; Hearts, J, 6. 5; Diamonds, Q, J, 10, 8,3: Clubs, J, 10. Mrs. Pimm, South, opened the Auction with one No Trump, preferring it to her alternative bid of one Diamond because with five sure tricks in her hand, and only four cards in the Diamond suit, the one Diamond bid would not have portrayed the strength of her hand adequately. Barclay, West, passed. Tobin, North, said two hearts ... a bid that was neither a rescue nor a warning, but merely an indication to his partner that he held a fivecard suit and strength for the No Trump. In a case like this, the strength may be either in the suit named, as in this instance, or on the side, or in both places; and such a bid urges a rebid of the No Trump if the No Trumper lacks support for the major suit. The fact that North’s hand contained a singleton was also an additional argument in favor of the suit-bid. After North’s two-Heart call, Mrs. Ryan, East, passed. Mrs. Pimm, South, delighted with her partner’s Heart bid. which took care of her only No Trump weakness, went to tw’o No Trumps, whicn held the bid. To the first trick Mr. Barclay, West, led the 7 of Spades, the fourth best of his longest and strongest suit. Mr. Tobin spread his hand for Dummy, and Declarer, Mrs. Pimm, played from it the singleton 8 of Spades. Mrs. Ryan, East, knew from the fourth best lead (using the Rule of Eleven) that there were four spades higher than the 7 which were not held by her partner. She saw three of the four—the 8 of Spades in Dummy, and the Queen and 10 in her ow’n hand —so she knew Declarer had the other. Although it was probable that Declarer’s one card higher than the 7 was either the Ace or King, there w r as a chance that it was the Jack; so, to prevent any possibility of the trick being won with a Jack, Mrs. Ryan played her Queen. * * * MRS. PIMM, the Declarer, could j not tell whether the adverse eight Spades were evenly or unevenly divided between the two adverse hands; but she decided to hold up her only stopper in the suit in an endeavor to exhaust East, if that hand had less than four. So to the first trick Mrs. Pimm played the Trey of Spades. To trick two, Mrs. Ryan, East, returned the Spades, leading the 10, the higher of her two remaining cards of the suit. Mrs. Pimm played the 4; Barclay, West, the Jack, and Dummy discarded the Deuce of Diamonds. Barclay played his Jack because he was not certain that his partner had another Spade, although he thought it unlikely that Declarer had held five originally, as with five Spades in her hand and no Heart strength, she hardly would have bid an initial No Trump. But to make sure that Spades would be continued, Barclay thought it best to overtake his partner’s 10. To the next trick Barclay led his 6 of Spades, to show his partner that his fourth-best was not his lowest, and that he had at least five originally. Dummy, North, discarded the 5 of Diamonds: Mrs. Ryan, East, played the Deuce of Spades, and Mrs. Pimm, South, won with the Ace. Now in the lead, Declarer could count seven sure tricks. The Heart suit seemed to off er the best chance of giving her the two more tricks she needed for game. So to trick four, Mrs. Pimm led the 4 of Hearts, intending to play the 9 from Dummy if West played a small Heart. This lead caused Barclay, West, to consider carefully; should he make the natural play of one of his small Hearts, he was sure Dummy would finesse, and his partner, doubtless holding the Jack, since Declarer did not lead it, would win the trick. But Barclay’s own Queen would then fall on one of Dummy’s high Hearts and Declarer would make four Heart tricks, which probably would give her game. So Barclay departed from the convention “second hand low” and made the unHlffAlmestments ('FLETCHER.

usual second hand play of his Queen of Hearts. m m n IN making this play he also took into consideration the probability, as shown by the bidding, that Declarer had only two Hearts. If she had had only a worthless singleton, she would not have bid the initial No Trump; if she had had three Hearts, she would have passed her partner's Heart bid. Declarer could not afford to let Barclay's Queen win, because he would then cash his two established Spades and save game; therefore she played Dummy’s King of Hearts, East played the 5. It looked to Declarer as if Barclay had held the Queen-Jack and another Heart, and lmd played the Queen to prevent the finesse which would have established Dummy’s Hearts, and also as a false card to induce Declarer to refuse a finesse on the second round of the suit. So Declarer planned to return to her own hand to lead Hearts again through Barclay's hand. She led Dummy’s Deuce of Clubs. East played the 10, Declarer. South, the Ace (a false card) and West the 4. Declarer then led the Deuce of Hearts, West played the 7, Dummy the 9 and East the Jack. This finesse cost Mrs. Pimm a Heart trick because she was unable to put Dummy in again; but it was a play fully justified by the development of the hand. Any other would hate been against the probabilities. a a a TO trick seven, East led the Queen of Diamonds; Declarer played the 6; West the 9; Dummy the 7. East continued Diamonds with the Jack; Declarer played the Ace; West the 8 of Hearts; Dummy ihe Trey of Clubs. West’s refusal of a Diamond on this trick showed Declarer that the establishment of a long Diamond in her hand was practically hopeless. However, the effect of a squeeze play sometimes produces weird results, so Mrs. Pimm, determining to fight on to the end for an extra trick, led the 5 of Spades to trick nine, knowing the result could not prove expensive as West had only two Spades left. West played the 9 of Spades; Dummy the 6 of Clubs; East the 6 of Hearts. West then took his King of Spades, Dummy discarding the Trey of Hearts, East the Trey of Diamonds, and Declarer the 5 of Clubs. To trick eleven, West led the 8 of Clubs, Dummy played the 7, East the Jack and Declarer won with the King. Declarer won the twelfth trick with the King of Diamonds, and was left with a small Diamond which East won on the last trick with the 10. Declarer’s contract was set two tricks, giving adversaries 100 points for the penalty, while North and South scored 40 for Aces. Births Girls Edwin and Geraldine Bmlth, 128 Geode.
