NARROW PRICE CHANGES RULE IN DULLDEALS Very Few Issues Break Out of Point Area; Paramount Leads. MARKETS AT A GLANCE Stocks dull and irregular in a narrow range. Bonds irregularly higher; U. S. Governments dull and irregular. Curb stocks mixed; specialties firm. Chicago stocks easier. Foreign exchange lower; sterling and gold rates weak. Cotton futures sell off 3 to 5 points. Rubber futures react 9 to 13 points. Silver eased % cent to 54 !4 cents an ounce. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Tress Financial Editor NEW YORK. Jan. 26.—A majority of issues fluctuated in a fractional area in today's short session on the Stock Exchange. The only feature was the market’s dullness. Only a half dozen or so stocks broke out of a point area. Paramount certificates led the market in activity. Its transactions were four times the next most ac- | five issue—General Electric. It rose % point to 4's, and its bonds also were higher. Other amusements were firm with it, Loew sand Warner Brothers making fractional advances. Weekly Review This week's movements in the stock market were entirely without feature and for all the progress the list made the exchange might as well have been closed. On net the market got nowhere and dealings were very light, tickers barely moving all week. The two major groups—railroad and industrial—lost slightly, while the utility average made a small gain. The later was not accounted for by anything in the news. Government agitation against the various units to force lower rates has not subsided and there is stil.l talk of municipal plants to be s*t up in competition with the privately owned units. Common stocks of steel companies met some profit-taking during the week as the steel operating figure mounted to around 50 per cent of capacity for the industry. Railroad shares did little better than hold their own. Car loadings made a small seasonal gain, but earnings of roads coming to light did not make a favorable comparison with last year. General Electric was the feature of the week. It was heavily traded at rising prices, coming within a i point of the year's high. The compand has invented a device that will facilitate long-distance transmission of electric power. Automobile production continued at a high rate. In fact some jompanies could not obtain steel fast enough to keep up with their production schedules. However, traders took profits in the motor shares with the result that they declined moderately. Tobaccos failed to follow up glowing reports on cigaret production. The output in 1934 set anew high record. Traders, however, had discounted that some time ago. and the stocks declined on realizing. Chemical issues were higher on the week and so were oils, fertilizer issues and some special stocks. Communication stocks lost their recent snap with American Telephone slightly easier. The latter met support each time it declined below 104. Mail order stocks failed to follow the fertilizer issues upward. Farm implement stocks were firm. Silvers were little changed. Golds declined, although selling was not particularly heavy.

GRAIN FUTURES END UNEVEN IN NARROWRANGE Wheat, Oats Close Fraction Lower; Corn Moves Up Slightly. BY HARMAN W- NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Jan. 26.—Grain operators virtually deserted the pits on the Chicago Board of Trane today and prices drifted aimlessly in a narrow range. At the close wheat was % to % cent lower; corn was Vs cent lower to \s cent higher, and oats were off V cent. Wheat traders were disposed to stay close to shore pending developments at Washington and in Canada. Sentiment on the exchange floor was decidedly mixed with supply and demand factors receiving little attention. Trade in corn, oats and rye was quiet and buying and selling was mainly of a local character. Profit taking appeared on the minor upturns in provisions. Prices held within narrow limits. Wheat— Prev.

Baby Bonds Discount Basis Arrangement Now Used by Treasury in Sale of 182-Day Bills to Banks. BY VINCENT S. LYONS
Time, Financial Editor Thi, I, the second of a series of articles explaining the contemplated program of the United State, Treasury to use “baby bonds” in its borrowing operations, and the result, which might be expected from the utilisation of thi, novel financing method. NEITHER the sale of “baby bonds” nor the “discount basis” are new in fact, although the utilization of these two in practice, under one operation, is something that has never been done before. The government has proposed the flotation of “baby bonds” on other occasions, particularly in the last few years, but has never proceeded intensively with such a drive.
The “discount basis” system of selling is now used by the Treasury in its sale of bills of short duration to banking institutions. But this method is different from its use in connection with “baby bonds.” For instance, the bills, generally of 182-day duration, are sold to various banks throughout the country on the basis of the highest bids received. In this latter connection, however, the Treasury does not pay any interest on the obligations. The equivalent of interest is received through the difference between the face value of the obligations and the price which was paid by the banking institutions. a a a WHAT are the advantages to government in selling “baby bonds” to the general public? The advantages which might accrue from the pursuit of such a policy are manifold, but many of them are potentialities which might or might not ensue. Undoubtedly, the major consideration by the Treasury has been that the flotation of “baby bonds” will tend to exert a steadier influence on the general market for United States government obligations. As the situation exists today, the banks of the country are virtually bankers for the government. The vaults of these institutions are heavily laden with Federal securities. Some critics believe that this method of distribution is unsound, but it should be remembered that many bankers realize that, with other high grade investments scarce, the government bond market is the principal existing market for surplus funds. a a a THE belief then that a steadier structure would follow from the sale of “baby bonds” is predicated on the assumption that such sales will mean wider distribution of the government’s obligations than is now possible by the offerings of bonds in denominations of SI,OOO, or more. In view of the fact that no peace-time test ever has been made of the scheme to arrange government bond issues in such a way that the general public would be enabled to take part in the program, it is difficult to try to imagine the reception which would be accorded this new venture. Certain it is, however, that the trial should be made. Monday: Debt Conversion-

The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must get at the cause—there’s no need of having a sallow complexion—dark rings under your eyes—pimples— a bilious look in your face—dull eyes with no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety per cent of all sickness comes from inactive bowels. Dr. Edwards, a well-known physician in Ohio, perfected a vegetable compound as a substitute for calomel to act on the intestines, which he gave to his patients for years.
