NEW YORK STOCKS SHOW STEADINESS; BONDS ARE MIXED

Homestake Leads Gold Mining Issues With Top of 54.

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (U. P.).—The French franc broke to the lowest level since November 1926 today when heavy selling swamped world foreign exchange markets because of anxiety over the French political crisis. Spot francs here were hammered down to 3.24 cents, 11'; points below the opening quotation and 145-16 p®ints below yesterday's final level The break here followed wide declines in both spot and forward francs in all principal European markets. When the latter closed, main selling interest was transferred to the New York market. There were no indications to midday that the French control had attempted to stem the decline,

| week-end numbers, only around 500

market on opening rounds, with | weights under 220 lbs. up most, | [threw local values skyrocketing to | cut of line levels compared with | nearby points, according to the [Bureau of Agricultural Economics. Consequently later in the session | | prices were adjusted downward and | | reductions of 10 to 15 cents from | rearly hit all weights of barrows and | gilts. Early top of $9.10 for best 150-[170-1b. butchers was later replaced | by an $895 peak. Packing sows sold | weak to a shade lower at $35 to $6.75 | for the bulk, extreme top $7 for a [few good lightweight sows. Cattle supplies fell off sharply even from the accustomed limited

estimated here today. Some trade members expressed the opinion that a more stable fat cattle market may serve to retard receipts as many feeders have been skeptical. The few loads and lots plain and medium native steers ruled strong to slightly higher against previous gains on these grades this week. Heifers and cows held steady, most heifers carrying too much weight to suit the demand in the dressed trade which calls for iighter cuts. Most steers were valued from $6.75 to $765. A short load good 870-1b. heifers scored $8, bulk heifers medium and good from $6.75 to $740, odd lots common down to 85.75. Cutter grades of cows made 384 to $5. comparatively few below $425. Common and medium beef cows ranged from $5 to $5.50. Bulls bulked at $6.50 down, odd head $6.75. Country feeders took a load of good 750-1b. yearling steers at $765. Vealers opened steady at $12 but closed 50 cents to $1 higher, extreme top, $13. Native lambs steady, good and choice mostly $8 to $8.50, strictly choice up to $865. Slaughter ewes steady at $4 down.

ZELOMEK PREDICTS LOW RETAIL PRICES

NEW YORK, Jan. 13 (U. P).— Retail prices at the beginning of January dropped to the lowest point since Feb. 1, 1937, A. W. Zelomek, economist of the Fairchild Publications, said today, predicting further price recessions through most ot the first half of 1938. “Retailers, generally, have reduced prices more rapidly in the present instance than during any other corresponding period of heavy liquidation on record,” he said. The economist stressed the fact that the rapid decline in retail prices is one of the most encouraging factors making for increased retail sales volume, The retail price index of Fairchild Publications, based on Jan. 2, 1931, as 100, declined for the fourth consecutive month, reaching 93.2 on Jan. 3, compared with 945 in the preceding month. The January average is 35 per cent under the 1937 high established Sept. 1, and only 1.6 per cent higher than a year ago when the index stood at 91.7.

WHEAT ACTIVITY LOW IN CHICAGO TRADING

Commission House Dealings With Corn Is Light.

bt pt -lw

aa & W .

CHICAGO, Jan. 13 (U. P).— Wheat activity remained indifferent on the Chicago Board of Trade to-

day with some further selling the result of late action abroad, where Liverpool was barely steady. At the en dof the first hour wheat was unchanged to i cent lower, corn was 4 to 3 cent lower, and oats were 1s to 3: cent lower. Trade in the Chicago wheat pit was nearly entirely of a local character and extremely dull. The September future finished the early part of the session unchanged from the previous close, regaining an early fractional loss. Wheat receipts were 38 cars. Commission house trade in corn was light and locals were inclined to go slow. The steady selling spread to September and this future lost its early fractional gain. Some of the selling in corn appeared to be against purchases of wheat. Corn receipts were 167 cars.

HEARINGS CONTINUED ON 4 POWER PLEAS

Northern Cities Fighting Service Abandonment.

Fall, daughter,

Hearings on petitions of the Northern Indiana Power Co. to abandon heating service in Nobles= ville, Kokomo, Rochester and Hunte ington were continued by the Indie ana Public Service Commission to= day to allow officials of those cities to present further objections. During the 12 months period end« ing June 30, 1937, the utility re ported loss of $55,653.82 in supply ing service. L. B. Schiesz, vice president and general manager, estimated losses this season would be increased to about $80,000 by June 30, because of higher fuel costs.

Rate Increase Asked

Pointing out that public buildings use steam heat from the company, city officials said their 1938 budgets

had been made without provision for buying heating equipment next fall. Utility representatives replied that they would continue the service until May, 1939, if the company/ was given a rate increase sufficieng to cover its losses. Mayor C. W. H. Bangs, of Hunte ington, said an engineering firm had been retained by his city to advise officials on the possibility of serving heating customers from the city water and street-lighting plant, The Huntington hearing was cone tinued until Feb. 17 at Mayor Bangs’ request. Hearing on the Noblesville petition was continued to Jan. 18, Kokomo, Feb. 2, and Rochester, Feb. 8.
