Utah Copper NEW MEASURES 10 ic New York, Jan. 16.—Disregarding the contradictory tenor of foreign ad- vices, maintenance of the six per cent call money rate and a new low record for one of the liberty isues, today’s lJaguid stock market gradually sought higher levels, subject, however, to in- termittent pressure. Pools resumed their activity in a number of speculative specialties, but in general dealings fell below recent averages both as to volume and num- ber of issues quoted. The railroad situation, with its en- forced curtailment of industrial oper- ations, exerted little adverse influence, although rails made less upward pro- gress than any other division of the active list. r transportation shares were in nowise affected by the attitude of the government toward those properties. Coalers reflected the partial improve- ment in the fuel situation. Reading featuring that group. Leading steels, equipments, coppers, and Mexicans made extreme gains of one to three points, with motors, to- baccos and shippings. Final quotations were mostly at highest levels of the day, United States steel closing at 915% a net gain of 1%. Sales amounted to 385,00 shares. Declaration of the regular divi- dends on Baltimore & Ohio common and preferred was not announced until after the close of the market. The foreign exchange market was irregular, francs hardening with an easier tone for lires. Liberty second 4's fell from 96.26 to the new minimum of 96.10. First 4’s were quoted at 97.40 to 96.60 and the 314’s at 98.70 to 98.59. Total sales (par value) aggregated $4,725,000 Uniter States (old issues) unchanged on call.

FACILITATE CORN Market Inclines Off With Prices Cent to Bad on Leading Cereal PEACE GOSSIP GIVES BEARS ENCOURAGEMENT Chicago, Ils., Jan. 16.—Corn aver- aged lower today mainly as a result of proposed broad new measures to hasten the crop movement. Peace talk was al a bearish factor. The market closed unsettled, Jan- uary and 12 ith the final range var "gc de- cline to 4%¢ advance, compared with 24 hours before. Oats lost 4% to Yc. Provisions closed irregular, all the way from 7c off to a rise of 25 Announcement that comprehens plan was being urged for a railroad executive to handle corn shipments only and that the purpose especially was to faciliate liberal hauling of corn within the ensuing three of four weeks led to a substantial drop in corn prices shortly after trading began. Peace gossip likewise favored the bears during the initial dealings but received much more general attention in the last hour, after the market had shown a temporary disposition to rally because of reports that railroad Py ly at present to meeting the urgent need of coal. Oats duplicated the action of corn. Provisions advanced in consequence of the smallness of warehouse stocks receipts of hogs acted as somewhat of an offset. CHICAGO GRAIN Corn:— Jan.
