Pynchon and Co.: It is reported that the speculative pool operating In U. 8. Steel plans to move this ock to new high lev during the turrent week and we would not hesitate to participate in this play Hornblower and Weeks: In addi: lion to heavy liquidation of ,long jccounts, there has been a consider- ble amount of short selling and we pect new high prices this week as L result of the buying of long stock tnd the covering of short commit ments.. We think it will be a week featured by great strength in oll itocks under the leadership of Mar- and, Skelly, Shell Union and the Standard olls. Block Maloney: We think {t will de Wise to une bulges to sell on, and ve take a tfading position J, 8. Bache and Co.: Continue sullish on B, & O. and believe that “uigher prices will be seen later on of $200,000,000, places negotiations for their purchase by the city on @ firmer foundation. Evaluated lines now are being appraised. NEW ORLEANS.—Ordera re- ceived this week by dry goods, shoe and hardware houses here are on a par with those of this time last year, Drugs, groceries and agricultural implements show an increase. Orders for hats have fallen off. Buy- ing still is of a conservative char- acter, but the feeling in the whole sale trade is that the business of the next few months will run well ahead of that of last year. Central American trade is keeping up in re- markable fashion. Bank debits for last week were the highest on reo- ord, $120,000,000, which shows the volume of business being done. In meantime its purchase on all re- cessions appears advisable. We think K. 8. U. is the bgeinning of another upswing. Hayden Stone and Co.: Consider: Ing the technical position of the market andAhe probability of some- what higher rates for money, It will certainly do no harm to adopt for the time being a waiting attitude here, Grain Opinions, Stein Alstrin; Each day the situa ton In bread grains looms up more bullishly. Thompson McKinnon; The mar- kets are reaching dangerously h'~) levels and we advise extreme cou Uon. Hulburd Warren: Indications are for a further advance, of consider- able proportions. Harris Winthrop: Existing levels, in our opinion, have at least been discounted conditions. Jackson Brothers: We continue bullish and look for higher prices.

Trading turned dull on the decline due to the marked curtailment in public participation. Bidding up of special stocks resulted in ocefision- al rallies, but there was no concerted attempt to follow up the advance, Total sales approximated 1,250,000 shares, NEW YORK, Jan. 20—Stock prices drifted irregularly lower at the opening of today’s market, which was forced to contend with additional selling orders. Large blocks of the industrial shares were turned over with Cosden under pres- sure on reports of new financing. Spirited bidding for New York Cen- tral was renewed, the initial trans. action being 3,900 shares at 12314, up \. The downward trend was acceler- ated when recognized Iéaders such as United States Steel and American Can extended their declines to near- ly a point. Coppers were shaded despite the resumption of dividends by Calumet and Hecla. Railroad shares generally were heavy, St. Paul preferred reacting after its sharp run up in yester- day's late trading, while Union Pa- cific, Baltimore and Ohio and Read- ing also lost ground. Baldwin, Kennecétt, Texas Gulf Sulphur and Tidewater Oil fell back one to two points. Nash Motors Sold at 289, with deductions of six per cent for dividends. Delaware and Hudson, General Electric and Kansas City Southern showed inde pendent strength, buying of the latter being influenced by reports that it would be involved In a new railroad combination in the south- wes Foreign exchanges opened irregular. Further unsettlement took place in the morning market on liquida- tion insPired by commission house advices urging ea tightening of long accounts. Recessions of one to three points were scattered through: out the list but trading was only moderate in volume, indicating that the selling was not of an urgent character. The decline was halted temporarily by the sudden revival of a demand for U. 8. Stee} common, which was taken in round amounts at advancing prices. One block of 7,000 shares changed hands at 125. Independent strength was shown by the local tractions, Commercial Sol- vents B, and Associated Dry Good: the gains running as high as three points. Standard Rails lost ground despite the (publication of an unusually favorable car loadings report and free offerings were noted in Ameri: can Can, Baldwin and Radio, U. 8. Cast Iron Pipe dropped three points and General Electric four. Call money renewed at 3 per cent, SECOND ADD STOCK MART cSNn Pushing up individual shares had a better influence than heretofore on the market in the afternoon. Commercial Solvents “A' rose 5% to 126% and the “B’ 10% to 128. American Sugar went up to 56 In re- sponse to the recent financial state- ment and International Harvester crossed 110 as a result of the grow- ‘ng prosperity of agricultural com. munities. Many popular shares ruled one to two’ points above their low prices of the morning. The closing was easy. Selling of the textile shares, notably American Woolen and Manhattan Shirt in the late trading contrasted with rallies to the top figures of the day by United States Steel common and American Can, which however, were unable to maintain their high prices.

(By the As- sociated Press).—The resolution re- HMeving Leon Trotzky of his duties as chairman of tho révolutionary war council was adopted in the cen: tral committee of the communist party by a vote of 50 to 2. The cen- tral control committee passed it unanimouely, with two absentions. Apparently realizing the futility of appearing before the committes- men in the face of the opposition headed by Zinovieff, Stalin and Kameneff, the once powerful soviet war chief wrote a letter from the suburban estate where ho is resting | in which ho gave illness as his rea son for non-attendance. He reiterated that {t was untrue, as charged That he attempted to revise the principles lald down by Lenine; denied that he had fostered “Trotakyism'’ and concluded with | admission ‘that the condition of affairs seems to demand that I should be relieved of my post as ehairman of the revolutionary war counell.”” In addition to his removal as war minister, Trotzky is threatened with expulsion from the communist party unless he conforms to the party dis cipline and renounces his alleged attacks on Leninism.

The war chief's deposition did not come in the nature of a surprise and had more than once been pre- maturely reported, but now that it has admittedly happened, there is universal speculation as to what de- velopments will follow All the Lond morning news- papers comment upon the develop- ment but none gets nearer to am definite opinion than one condition ed by “if” and “perhaps.” There is one fairly general view, however, that the Zinovieff, Stalin far below Trotzky below as Trotaky nino. For this reason !t !s argued that his atsapsfearance from the head of the Red army may have a very defi- nite influence, but the view sugge ed in some quarters, that it ts likely to prove m step toward disintegra- tion of the Bolshevist regime, {s not put forward with any confidence.” trium) @ of and Kamenetf is in ability—as far was below Le- MA FERGUSON [a INGTALLED Continued from Page One. | has served for this purpose since the days of General Sam Houston, took the oath, ANSTIN, Tex., Jan. 20.— (By The Associated Press) — Mrs. Miriam Amanda “Ma” Ferguson was inaugurated as Texas’ first woman gov- ernor at noon today in the stato house or representat where, 10 years ago, her hu: ames B.
