Industrial stocks of the more representative classes gave promise of extending recent gains at the outset of today's brief session, steels and equipments again ' pointing the way with perceptible improvement in rails and ship pings. Trading had nof progressed very far, however, when pressure, evidently of pro fessional character, manifested itself In the motor issues, soon spreading to the gen eral J 1st. General Motor made an ex tram reversal of 10 point, nding with a net loss of , and Crucible Steel's Ini tial moderate gain was replaced by a de cline of slightly more than five points. Baldwin Locomotive also forfeited Its fur ther advance and Republic Iron seemed to be the objective of a lively short in terest. Sales amounted to 350,000 shares. The most significant feature of the clearing house statement was another de crease $29,324.000 in actual loans and discounts, - making a lotal contraction of about $127,000,000 In the first month of the year. Actual reserves made up only a small part of last week's decrease, but left the total excess at about $23,000,000, as against the recent deficit of almost $3,000,000. Following Its cours of the preceding days of the week, the bond market los' additional ground, liberty and foreign is sues displaying further heaviness. Total sales, par value, aggregated 8, 780,000.

While most of the mills reported little ew business, say the Northwestern Mill ar, this fact presented less cause for Im mediate worry than their inability to get nough cars either to bring In wheat or to load out floor. Most of the mills hare plenty to do, so far as orders now on their book are concerned, if they can get cars and shipping directions. The situation, which was troublesome all through the fall, has recently grown worse than ever, and a curtailment of flour output is wide ly predicted unless the railroad' admin istration, is able to take elieclive measures , n . 1,1 1 ' ijspa lODDina Quotations; 7,1 siicah Sack basis: cane granuiauo. 3 58 1 15.90c per pound; beat, 11.27o; extra C. 301 1170 1 15.50c: Golden C 15.4oc; Yellow D, 13.30c 7 2341 I cube, in barrels, 16.75c NUTS Walnuts, 203Uc; Brazil nuia. 80c; filberts, 35c; almonds, 350J8o; pea nuts.

The cause of this is traceable to hog raisers in this territory being deprived of their1 natural hog finishing feed when the gov ernment restricted th use of wheat. Fur thermore, the unprecedented prices offered for both wheat and hog apparently has had a tendency to roduca the number of brood sows In the territory. "Sheep Sheep receipts not only show in crease over last year, but the percentage of sale In th yards has been higher, the demand on the market for both fat sheep and lambs and for feeders has been strong, "Cattle Th prospects of a better outlet for cattle are good. The demand has bee,: steady for fat cattle, and the entrance o. new cattle deaieis on the market indicates that the demari.- lor the thin unfinished cattle of good quality will build up."

NEW YORK, Jan. 31. All other devel opments of a hesitant and otherwise un certain week In the financial market were overshadowed by the more serious crash in foreign exchange. - Movements of in ternational credtts against Bngland, Italy, France and other European countries Were without precedent and excited grave con cern among banking interests nere ana abroad. Those who recalled that December ex ports fell away by almost fxi,ooo,ooo as compared with November predicted that this later reversal in exchange Is likely to have even a more unfavorable effect on the country's trade balance for the month ending today. Domestic money conditions also denoted further disturbance In consequence- of the policy of credit curtailments adopted by the federal reserve board. Time funds failed to relax even in slight degree and call loans ruled at 12 per cent, with a maximum rate of 20 per eent. Quoted value On the stocft exc'liange suffered relatively little shrinkage, how. ever, and in several cases prloes were well over those of the previous week. Further wage increases by leading steel mill were regarded in many quarter as foreshadowing an upward revision of price schedules, but several of the leading producers deny such aotlon I contem plated. That some of the other Important industries are noi keeping pace with the steel trade, however, Is seen In the re cent statements of leather and textile com panies and another reversal In the copper metal market.
