Sales appro: ed 750,000 shares. NEW YORK, Feb. 21.—Narrow changes mostly in an upward direc- tion, were the rule at the outset of stock trading today, Gulf States Steel advanced a point in response to the increase in the annual diy!- dend rate to a $5 basis. Renewed accumulation of the oil shares, espectally Pacific, Sinclair, Producers and Refiners, Tidewater Mexican Seaboard and Standard O{1 of California, which gained 1 to 2 points, encouraged more confident buying of other representative in- dustrials in the subsequent dealings. Moderate purchases of United States Alcohol, American Can, Republic Steel, American Hide and Leather preferred, General Electric and At- lantic Guif carried them up a point or over, - Railroads were neglected with, however, some of the low priced southern and western issues holding steady. Virginia Carolina Chemical preferred was offered down 2% points to 18, a new low figure for the year. Foreign exchanges opened higher. Influenced by reports of generally avorable business conditions and abundance of money, operators on the long side extended their activity as the session progressed, the ad- vanee being stimulated by short overing over the holiday. Trading was rather qulet but the. buying orders were distributed over a wide Ust with the oils, steels, shippings, equipment and sugars manifesting substantial group strength. Hous- ton Oil, Mexican Seaboard, Atlantic Gulf preferred and General Electric were among the dozen or so stocks to sell two points or more above yesterday's final figures before noon. Railroads were irregular, strength of Southern Railway and Lacka- wanna being counteracted by the heaviness of St. Paul preferred and Delaware and Hudson. Call money opened at 4 per cent. Railroad shares swung into line in the general upward movement in the afternoon, New York Centra reaching 100% and St. Louls and San Francisco preferred, Missouri Pacific preferred, a Air Line preferred, Erie and the first preferred, Chesapeake and Ohio and. Atlantic Coast Line gaining 1 to 2 points. Considerahly higher prices prevailed for various indus trial shares, United States Steel touching 104%. The closing was strong. Prices rose more briskly in the late deal: ‘ngs as shorts increased their cover- ing operations. Southern . Railway touched 48%, a new high for ti year and American Can, Fisher Body, Market Street Railway prior preferred and Davison Chemica! sold 3 to 4 points above yesterday's final (i, isn la he 6.0.P. HOPES FOR CONTROL (Continued from Page One) tax reduction affecting the st number of tax payers is more extensive under Demo: cratic than under the Republican plan. From a vote-getting standpoint the Garner plan is a difficult one for either Republicans or Democrats to oppose. It reduces taxes on in- comes up to $50,000 a year far more than. does the Mellon plan. About that sum the Mellon plan makes @ greater reduction, The Garner plan reduces the surtaxes below the Present law but the cut is not as big aa Mr. Mellon proposes. The treasury departments conten: tion is that while a relatively small number of persons pay the high sur- taxes directly, the indirect cost of high surtaxes 1s enormous and that the smaller taxpayers bear the bur- den just the same, an economic doctrine that has not yet won its battle against the out and out politi. cal arguments. The chances are that it will get a better reception in the senate where the administra tion now centers its hopes for the essential principles of the Mellon plan, Ce Butter and Eggs CHICAGO, Feb. 21. — Butt steady: extras, 45c; standards, extra firsts, 48@48%c; firsts, 474%@ 47%c} séconds, 46@47c.

Buying however, lacked volume. Bears contended that with May wheat selling under the defer: red months at this time of the year, Dull campaign waa untenable. The opening, which ranged from %c low- er to %c higher, May $1.10 to 1.10 % and July $1.10% to 1.10%, was ‘followed by a stight sag and then by an advance all around to above yesterday's finish, European demand for Canadian wheat was reported as the best in weeks. The market closed unsettled, %@% to ‘%sc net higher, May $1.10% to $1.10% and July $1.10% to $1.10%. Despite considerable selling pres- sure due to. clear cold weather, corn and oats showed firmness. Pre ictions of a sharp reduction of re- celpts of corn were current. After opening at %oc lower to Yo gain, May 48% to 48%, and later owed 4 general upturn. Subsequently, pre-holifay even. ing up of accounts tended to uphold values notwithstanding Omaha re- ports that corn was arriving there too fast.
