The Markets
I
STOCK CHATTER
NEW TORE. Jan. 18.—UP>—Stock
prices moved within narrow and ir-
regular limits at the opening of to-
day's market. Paramount-Famous
Players sold off a point but most
of the other initial changes were of
a small fractional character. With
tho market moving within a narrow
trading area and showing little re-
sponse to either bullish or bearish
news developments many profes-
sional traders were content to sit
on the sidelines waiting for some-
iktfur to hiNctn
Despite the threatened V. S. sen-
ate investigation of super-power
project* snd public utility financ-
ing a brisk demand set in for the
power and light stocks. Abitibi
Power advanced 4 points to 1S3 and
Electric Power A Light moved up to
32 1-2 both new high records. Mon-
tana Power. Adams Express and
| American A Foreign Power also re-
corded good rams in the early trad-
ing. £«a Oil. which recently an-
nounced discovery of sulphur de-
posits on its property moved up 2
point* to a new peak at 39 before
the end of the first half hour and
active buying also developed in
Freeport Texas and Texas Gulf
Sulphur.
Lethargic trading however charac-
terised the general list reflecting
the apathy of traders and investors
alike.
Foreign exchanges opened steady
sterling cables ruling slightly lower
at *4-87 19-12. .
NEW YORK COTTON
NEW YORE. Jan. 18.—GPj—The
cotton market opened unchanged to
4 points higher on a renewal of
yesterday's covering movement
which mmy have been promoted by
failure of the early new* to show
rams in West Texas and fairly
steady Liverpool cables.
Demand was comparatively light
however and prices sagged off as
soon as initial buying orders bad
been supplied under selling which
seemed to come from New Orleans
local and Wall Street sources. Af-
ter touching 1*76 or 7 points net
htgner. May reacted to 18.63 snd
active months generally were bold-
ing within a point or two of yester-
day’s dosing quotations at the end
of the first hour.
Subsequently under some New Or-
lean* and local selling prices sagged
to 18.60 for May or € to 9 points
net lower. A little trade buying or
covering at the lower prices may have
been promoted by a report of insuf-
ficient rain in Texas. The market
was steadier around midday active
months showing rallies of about 4
to § points from the low levels.
Probable ginning* in Texas were es-
timated at about 4.12T>000 by a pri-
vate report from Austin.
NEW ORLEANS COTTON
KEV OLLEANS. Jan. 16—iAN—
The cotton market *n quiet but
steady in early trading today. As
Liverpool cables were better than
due first trades shoved gains of 2
to * points and the market contin-
ued to advance until March traded
at 18.4*. May 16.41. and July 16.20.
V to 1« po.ru above tka previous
dose
Lack of support and rains in the
western bell where moisture was
needed caused a recession of 10 to
11 points and at the end of the
first half hour prices were on about
a level with yesterday s close.
Prices coat.rued to ease off as the
morning progressed. March eventu
ally traded down to Ifediu May le.25.
and July 16.05. IS to 17 points below
the early highs and six to sewn
points under the previous close.
Luter the market rallied on talk of
weevil surv.ving the recent freeze
and on come trade buying. Marrn
recovered to 18.30. May 18.36 and
July 18.13 6 to 11 points up from
the lows.
Near noon the market was quiet
and 2 to * points under the rally.
CHICAGO CRAIN
CHICAGO. Jan. 16. —<JP>— M ith

cline whereas an advance had been
looked for. wheat values here aver-
aged lower early today. Announce-
ment that Argentine vessel rates

PROBE BLAZES
One Held As Investi-
gation of Fires
Continues
WASHINGTON Jan. 18—(**►—An
"irresistible impulse" is given by the
police as the confessed reason why
John J. Fisher set two fires of the
series that scattered ruins through-
out the city yesterday morning.
Declaring that Fisher JKJ-year-old
former policemen and recently a
psychopathic patient here had con-
fessed to causing the two blazes po-
lice said be had done so after watch-
ing firemen battle two earlier down-
town blazes. They said he admitted
touching matches to the HcDowWti
and Sons gram warehouse at Ecking-
ton Place end Q street in the north-
east quarter of the city and then ta
the Lank Woodworking company at
14th and W streets northwest.
Fisher was arrested as he returned
to hu home after hating spent more
than two hours watching local fire-
men ar.d others summoned from out
of town fight the flames he had
caused lie stoutly denied connec-
tion with the other major fires.
With a charge of arson lodged
against Fisher police continued their
investigation today of tha other con-
flagrations. Fire department of-
ficials said they held no doubt that
three of the big fires were of incen-
diary origin that two others were
accidental and that another was of
questionable origin. In the ruins of
two of the fires a number of oil
cans were found supporting the sus-
picion of arson.
(Continued from pege one)
planned to have Hotelling brought
to trial immediately either at Lans-
ing or Ionia. An agreement was
reached yesterday whereby attorneys
for Hotelling would enter a plea of
guilty and accept a life imprison-
ment penalty—the extreme punish-
ment in Michigan. State alienists
according to Gov. Green would ex-
amine Hote ling later and in event
they determined he was of unsound
mind an order for his transfer from
prison to a state institution for in-
sane would be issued.
Hotelling was taken secretly from
the state reformatory at Ionia yes-
terday to a place just over the
Genesee county line and arraigned
before an impromptu justice court
in a farm yard. The action required
only a few minutes after which the
prisoner was spirited back to the re-
formatory. Hotelling stood mute and
no plea was entered for him.
PANAMERICAN
(Continued fiorn page one)
out while shouts of “viva Nicara-
gua!" resounded on all sides.
The progress of the principal in-
ternational arbitration in the politi-
cal History of the new world with
frequent references to the part play-
ed by American statesmen in pro-
moting international good will was
taken by Dr. Rafael Martinet Ovtix
Cuban secretary of state as the
theme to impress on the first bus-
iness sessions congress.
Delivering an address of welcome
to the foreign delegates Secretary
Martinez Ortiz paid special homage
to President Coolidge and to Charles
Evans Hughes chairman of the Amer-
ican delegation. The former who
traveled to Havana to deliver the
principal speech at the inaugural
session last Monday the Cuban sec-
retary of state characterized as the
“chief executive of the nation ol
greatest democracy and the weal-
thiest among those which are memor-
able In the annals of the world.”
Harlingen Scout
Cycles For Honor
Clayton Barnes arrived in Browns-
ville this morning from Hariirgen on
the first lap of his 50-mile trip on a

badge from the Boy Scouts. Clayton
started lrom home this morning at
5 o'clock and aaid that he expected
to return home after a abort rest.
The 50 miles must be covered in 10
hours to win the badge. This is the
first attempt he has made for a
merit badge but intends to try for
many others as soon as he has the
one for cycling. He is in graie 8 A

The highway between Harlingen
and Brownsville has been the road

proper length. The Scout un.t in
Harlingen is an active one.
