Bu United Press * NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—The stock market moved narrowly in dull turnover during the morning session today. Prices maintained a firm tone, but the list lacked feature. Shorts were as reticent to the extent ot their commitments as were longs to take stock, and hence the trading slumped to such extent that tickers stood idle for minutes at a time around noon. United States Steel quickly made up an initial loss of la point and held above the previous close. Other leaders held small gains, with American Can around noon at 130%, up 1; Jolins-Manville 90%, unchanged; Vanadium 88, up %; American Telephone 216, up %, and General Electric 72%, up %. Auburn Auto, American and Foreign Power, J. I. Case, Stone & Webster and Eastman Kodak made gains of a point or more. Dunhill International, one of Tuesday’s weak spots, rallied nearly a point. Grigsby-Grunow, another selling target Tuesday, when it broke to a new low for the present shares, held around the previous close in lighter trading. Real Silk Hosiery, depressed Tuesday by a bear group on the excuse of a break in the silk market, declined nearly 2 points to 43%. Republic Steel Corporation was bid up more than a point on announcement Republic has received an order for 110 miles of pipe from southwest natural gas interests. Sharp & Dohme was an active specialty, rising % to 20%. Sales to noon fell under a half million shares. Call money held at 2 per cent, unchanged from Tuesday’s close.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon* NEW YORK, Sept. 17.—Even more significant than the increase in dollars in our August foreign trade is the fact that volume and tonnage make relatively a better showing. Then, too, it is gratifying that our domestic buying power has been better maintained than that of foreign countries. In this respect whether or not a reaction from the recent Washington conference it is important to note the report of a competent observer who authoratively stated that the American Telephone and Telegraph Company has actually begun to place orders for future deliveries of raw materials. While more in the nature of a rumor from another quarter it is reported that General Motors has placed the largest orders in several months for steel. Some weight is lent to this intimation, due to the fact that Tuesday we had the statement that General Motors retail motor and truck sales were running better than earlier forecasts. The lower weekly car loading figures are difficult to interpret due to the interruption of the Labor day holiday. Apparently the reports for the succeeding week from several of the individual railroads showing increases are a better guide. Criticism continues to be heard over the intangible character of advices of trade improvement. Our experience teaches us that the stock market seldom waits for the self-evident. It is continually attempting to discount coming events.

MARX BROTHERS TO OPEN IN STAGE HIT Famous Comedians to Bring to Circle Screen Thursday Movie Version of “Animal Crackers.” AN announcement from the Indiana and the Circle theaters reveals that these houses have an unusually promising lineup of coming talking picture productions for the 1930-31 season.

In the Cotton Markets

1 Bv Thomson A: McKinnon I NEW YORK. Sept. 17.—Cotton w’as up 10 points again this morn-, mg. The weekly weather report dis-* apointed the bears as it was not so favorable as expected. Georgia rains were said to be too late to help the crop. The holding movement has’ become so general that it hardly excites comment any more. The farmer, backed by loans, is taking all the risk of a decline. IC is too early to guess the final outcome. Innovations are sometimes the marks of progress. We hope it proves true in this instance. Without any outstanding development, general textile news has a cheerful tone. There are very few speculative shorts in the market and some o# them were buying cotton this morning. It is not so easy to gauge the market, but according to old standards, it is probably safe to say the technical position is not strong.
