MARKET IRREGULAR

YESTERDAY

New York, Jan. 21. Swan, Culbertson and Fritz Wall: Street Journal commenta:"The operating profit of the United Stater Steel Corporation last year was be tween 60 to 70 cent above that of 1934. New York retail trade for the first half of January is 10 to 14 per cent above that of the corresponding period of the previous year. "Some brokers say that the entire market psychology is dependent upon the eventual Supreme Court decision re- garding the TVA. "A benrish senti- ment is growing in Wall Street sinco this in the time of the year when business reasonably duller,"

Swan, Culbertson & Fritz Dow Janes Summary of yesterday's markets:-The market to-day was irregular. To-day's acsalon was thò dullest in 1930, with barely mora than 1,000,000 shares changing hands. Radio Corporation, United Aircraft, Aircraft, Packard, General Douglas Motor, International Telephone and Consolidated Oil issues

were com-

paratively active. The fact that the. London markets remained closed, plus traders inclination to await a de- finite indication of the nearby trend In face of the French political situa- and inflation possibilities And tion

uncertainties legislative and Court caused quietness. The market for bonds was irregular, but higher. Stocks on the Curb Exchange were irregular.

S. C. & F. New York office cables: Stocks: The market developed heavinem, but the volume of trading

Wan

light, The Douglas Aircraft Company has been awarded an order for 114 bombing machines costing $3,836,000. The California Edison Company has earned $1.80 per share for the year ended October 31st, against $1.17 during the calendar year of 1034. The Auburn Motor Company lost $2,607,000 for the year ended November 30th., against a

of $3,012,000 the previous year. The Southern Pacific Railroad Company earned 36 cents per share for the 11 months ended November 30th., against

loss of $327,109 the previous year. Business failures during the past week amounted to 246, compared with 260 failures the previous week, Demand deposita amounted to $13,770,000,000 against 313,647,000,000 the provisus week.

Cattan: It is believed that the con- tinued strength of "spot" la impart ing steadiness to futures. The bellof is held that large textile buying in awaiting an adjustment of Processing Tax refund.

Whent: There is some appréhension; that tired longs may liquidate their holdings. There was an absence of buying interest early in the acsalon.

Rubber: Factories aro reported to be holding off, but their requirements have not been filled.
