Utilities, Aviation and Motors Shares Register Advances at Brisk Session. T BY WILLIAM F. HEFFERNAN, Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 2.—Increasing mctivity, with the price trend toward higher levels, characterized operations in the Curb Market during the first session of the new year. The demand was more general than at the close Monday. In the utility group, American Super ‘Power issues were in urgent demand, while Buffalo, Niagara & Eastern across 65 established a new high. Elec~ tric Bond & Shares securities changed hands at 181!z, up 3 points from the previous final. Shares of aviation companies con- tinued to discount the prospect for ex- panding operations during 1929. Na- tional Aviation crossed 16 to a fresh top, but improvemen{ was not pro- nounced. Keystone Aircraft touched the 50 level again. ‘The new Ford Motor, Ltd., was again freely supplicd whenever bids came into the market. The stock opened on a block of 14,000 shares a point lower at 165, but rallied fractionally at inter- wvals. Ford Motor of Canada experienc- ed another sharp upturn, which was set down primarily to the scarcity of the floating supply. Durant and Auburn gained substantially. The better tone to the market for the most of the mo- tors was generally attributed to the ap- proach of the annual automobile show, which is usually the signal for a demon- stration in these shares. Trans-America Corporation shares ran up several points to a new high record following publication of the first earnings statement and also that of Bancitaly Corporation, in which the company has its principal holdings. The new Goldman, Sachs Trading went into mew high ground at 120. ‘The oils were led by Prairie Pipe Line, up 12 points to a new high at 280, Prairie Pipe Line new, which went along sympathetically; International Petro- leum and Ohio Oil. SRR A DNV R TOWER HONORS SCHOOL. EAST LANSING, Mich. (#).—Memory of the first college building in which| agriculture ever was taught as a sepa- rate science will be perpetuated at Michigan State College in a 100-foot tower, the gift of John W. Beaumont, Detroit attorney and graduate of the school. ‘The $75,000 structure of Bedford limestone, soon to dedicated, rises above the site of old College Hall'| which housed early-day students of American agriculture. The hall, erect- ed in 1857, collapsed in 1918. A set of chimes imported from Eng- land will be installed in the tower. ¥ Nuts. ¥ FORT WORTH, January 2—Pecan ers of Texas have petitioned the ral Land Bank and other loan agencies to accept pecan trees as col- Jateral as well as land on which they 0il. SAN FRANCISCO. — Competition am independent retailers is held re- le for the cuts below the dis- trict’s established price of 21 cents a gallon for gasoline which have taken ghoe recently. Prices to retail distrib- itors remain unchanged. Agricultural Products. GULFPORT, Miss—The value of crops produced in Mississippi in 1928 now is estimated by Federal agricultural authorities in the State at $215,000,000. ‘Thig is a drop of 5 per cent from 1927, Value of cotton is put at $161,000,000. ‘Wool. BOSTON.—There was no disposition today to throw good wools on the bar- gain counter. Holders are confident that prices will advance. Some 12- xas has passed into cthg of all Texas clips are firmly held. Retail Trade. ATLANTA.—Reports of the pre-in- wventory sales at department stores here indicate that post-Christmas buying ‘was very satisfactory despite the fact that the holiday trade was the heaviest in- history.

Poultry Trade Continues Fair—Fruit and Vege- tables Plentiful. Slow trading was reported by whole- salers early this morning, heavy pur- chases at the end of the holiday season probably being sufficient to fill most demands of retailers and consumers for another day or two. Dealers did report increased demands for butter this morning, consumers hav- ing depleted supplies of the dairy prod- uct in many stores for holiday con- sumption, 4 Poultry Sales. Pouliry dealers reported a fairly good cleaning up of the king birds Monday. The demand for the turkeys was not very heavy, however, and prices drop- ped to as low as 40 cents for good stock before the close of the market. Wholesalers reported a mfich better demand for chickens and fowls, and many ducks and geese also were pur- chased. Meat dealers this morning re- ported a dull condition of the market on such supplies, but expect an im- provement in business later in the week. Fruit and vegetable dealers continued to have .attractive supplies of such products from all sections of the coun- try, but the demand was not brisk. Prices of practically every commodity this morning were the same as prices quoted at the close of last week's market. Today's Wholesale Prices—Jobbers’ Prices Slightly Higher.

Strawberries—Supplies very light; de- prosperity, in the opinion of Walter P. Chrysler, president and chairman of the Chrysler Corporation, who bases his belief on the theory that the pres- ent rate of prosperity is in thorough keeping with modern speed, to which he says the automobile has contributed mightily. “Generally speaking,” Mr. Chrysler said, “business is excellent and will be better in most lines. Manufacturers, wholesalers and retailers are not un- duly overextended in credit. Industry is not suffering from the over-produc- tion which has sometimes character- ized it in the past. I can see nothing but good signs along the road of busi- ness in the present year. “Qur automobile industry will achieve another. production and sales record. I believe the figure will- be approxi- mately 4,750,000 cars by the end of next December. I believe the United States and Canada will export approx- imately 1,000,000 automobiles, thus realizing an ambition that has domi- nated our manufacturers for some time.” Securities Trading. William Beatty, president of the New York Produce Exchange, believes that trading in securities steadily will increase. “One reason for this,” he explained, “seems to be that modern invention and better organization of industry has speeded up the creation of wealth, and a sound political and economic system has distributed the earnings of this process into the hands of millions of people.” cations point to a healthy increase in the foreign trade of the Pacific Coast for 1929, especially agricultural products. ‘The many applications of electricity and the usefulness and attractiveness of electrical products, according to Huntington B. Crouse, president of the National Electric Manufacturers’ As- soclation, have stimulated the growth of the electrical industry in all its branches and have supplied many of the facilities that enabled other in- dustries to reach new heights of pros- perity during 1928. He sees added g;uol each year that the Nation is coming electrical-minded. Farming Conditions. Griff Johnson, vice president of the Equitable Life Insurance Co. of Iowa of Des Moines, reports 1928 showed marked improvement. in agricultural conditions throughout the Middle West. The general mental attifude now is more favorable, he says, inquiry about farms has been more active than at any time since 1919 and selling prices have saw%n a trend to higher levels. More expensive boats, built for pri- vate owners, were -launched during 1928 than in any other year on record, and orders for 1929 have set a mark far beyond that of 1928, says Joseph A. Macdonald, president of Henry J. Gielow, Inc., of New York. “Foreign constructed yachts are no longer as- sumed to be superior,” he explained, “and the day that we anticipated for many years is here. American yachts are built in American yards.” MINNESOTA LAWMAKERS FAC EEVOLUTION FIGHT Baptist Clergyman’s Measure Will Be Introduced When 1929 Legislature Meets, ST. PAUL, Minn. (#)—An evolution law proposal, once a topic of discus- slon in Arkansas and Tennessee, will greet Minnesota’s lawmakers when the 1929 Legislature convenes this month. “Civilization’ is a gift and not a de- velopment,” says the Rev. W. B. Riley, Minneapolis Baptist clergyman, ‘who will present the bill. He is president of the World's Christian Fundamen- talists’ _Association. Mr. Riley's measure would prohibit the teaching of evolutionary theories in schools and colleges supported by taxation. He has issued severe attacks on members of the University of Minne- sota faculty for teaching that.man de- veloped biologically. “They are afraid to discuss their pernicious theories with mfé" but inflict them on babies,” he said. A Baptist group recently withdrew its financial support of Carleton College in Northfield, Minn., aftek Mr. Riley charged members of the faculty with teaching theories of: evolution. JOHNSONS GET TOGETHER. Clan Keeps Name Within Family by Marriage. BROCKTON, Mass. (#).—The John- sons seem to be getting together here. Verna Marje Johnson not only is a Johnson, but her mother Anna was a Johnson before she married Verna's father, Frank Johnson. And now Verna has chosen Edmund Johnson, a Brockton mechanical engineer, as her husband. The church selected for the wedding ceremony is the First Lutheran Church, where, incidentally, the father and mother of the bride ‘were married.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, January 2—Unlooked- for setbacks in wheat quotations at Liverpool led to lower prices early to- day in the wheat market here. Most of the wheat selling, however, consisted of small lots, and there was buying based on prospects of Winter killing. Opening Y to 54 off, Chicago wheat de- clined a little more, and then rallied well. Corn, oats and provisions were relatively firm, with corn starting un- changed to % up, and afterward hold- ing near to initial figures. With genuine Winter conditions pre- vailing in this country, Chicago wheat traders today turned quickly from no- tice of unexpected downturns in Liver- pool wheat prices and gave increasing attention to changes of damage to do- mestic Winter wheat. In this connec- tion, dispatches were at hand saying that very little snow protection for wheat was in evidence throughout West and Northwest Kansas and in Nebraska as well. Meanwhile weakness of the market in Liverpool was ascribed to pressure of newly harvested Argentine wheat. As against talk of possible damage to domestic' wheat by Winter killing, bears pointed out that in spite of the fact that Winter killing last season was the largest ever known, 1928 ended -with wheat at the year's lowest prices. It was also contended that overproduc- tion had taken place in 1928, notwith- standing the unusual amount of Win- ter killing, and that the effects of this overproduction would be witnessed in 1929, COTTON IS STEADY ON INITIAL DEALS Slight Advance Follows Firm Cables—Trade Buying Reported. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, January 2—The cotton market opened steady at an advance of 3 to 10 points in response to relatively steady Liverpool cables, which evidently promoted covering. Some trade buying was also reported, but after selling up to 20.28 for January and 20.25 for May at the start, prices reacted under realiz- ing, while there also appeared to be Many Industries in U. S. Are Being Equipped With Motor Power. BY J. C. ROYLE. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, January 2.—“Give her the juice!” That cry will be heard nfore and more often in 1929 than ever before. ‘The industries of the country are being equipped with electric power in thou- sands of instances and power companies and electrical equipment manufacturers have already outlined schedules which will meet the growing demand both for current and equipment to produce it and use it. In the last year the New England Power Association showed a gain of 24 per cent, to 1,256,000,000 kilowatt hours of current in the great manufacturing district of the Northeast. Even. this was not enough, fér it was nt- ed by 642,600 horsepower of energy from the Canadian hydro-electric cor- poration, no small part of which came into the United States. Electric Power in Mines. The iron mines of Minnesota and Michigan and the copper properties scattered from California to Alaska and from Michigan to the Mexican border have used their quota. The Utah Cop- per Co., for example, having already electrified its mine workings and shovel operations, has now started to make electric locomotives haul its ore trains from mine to mills and smelters. In, the Middle West and the South, the steel plants are being rumn by elec~ tricity in many cases. Millions have been_spent in equipping the mills for such operation. More farms have been electrified than ever before. More homes are lighted by electricity and more household and agricultural tasks are accomplished with this power. These facts cannot help being re- flected in the tions of electrical equipment manufacturers. The needs of the railroads for electrification equip-~ ment and signal systems will keep many men well engaged. Electric welding machinery is mmuud to an increas- ing degree in g construetion and aviation.

Liverpool cables reported Continental and Bombay buying in Liverpool and an optimistic sefitiment in Manchester, with a fair business in cotton cloths pending. . MERGER IS ANNOUNCED.

A suggestion that control of the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne Railroad should be jointly held by trunk lines with which it connects was given to the In- terstate Commerce Commission today by Thomas F. Sullivan, an agent, who has completed an inquiry into its situation. The Wabash Railway now has pend- ing before the commission a request for authority to take control of the Lake Erle & Fort Wayne by purchasing 2950 shares of its capital stock. The Nickel Plate, New York Central and Pennsylvania’ objected to the transac- tion on the ground that the Wabash should not be exclusively owners of a company holding important railroad terminals. The Sullivan report advised the com- mission to allow the Wabash to com- plete_purchase of the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne stock, but to require it to sell to each of the other three trunk lines a share in the Lake Erie & Fort Wayne ownership. The recommenda- tion will be considered by the commis- sion in reaching & final conclusion in the matter. . DECEMBER COPPER SALES.
