New, York, Jan. 20. Transactions on the
stock exchange today were the smallest
and tn most other respects th.o leaat sig
nificant, of any full session for several
weeks. 5
Surface Indications so far as they had
any drift at all, pointed to a sold out con
dition. This was obvious from the ab
sence of selling pressure except at rare
Intervals and the gradual hardening of
standard industrials stocks.
Even the more volatile Issues of recent
floatation including those whose Intrn.sio
values are yet to be established, remained
mostly in the background.
Developments of the day embraced an
other drop In call or demand loans to
lowest rates in several months and re
current weakness in foreign echange. The
London quotation fell to within Jc of
Its minimum and new low levels of de
preciation were registered by Italian, Ger
man and Austrian remittances. The fed
eral reserve . board was In conferenB at
Washington during the greater part of
the market session, but adjourned, ac
cording to the statement of 'an official,
without taking further measures to cur
tail credits.
Motors, oils, steels, untilltles and food
Issues, more or less in the order names,
featured the day's operations at extreme
gains of 1 to 6 points, rails playing no
part in the trading. Sales amounted to
500.000 shares.
Bonds were Inclined to yield, especially
the liberty group, and Internationals wer
slightly lower. Total sales, par value, were
$13,800,000, Old United States bonds were
