{ [ B IRN GURB STOGKS EASY MWITH BIDS SCARCE List Slips to Lower Levels as Activity Is In- creased. BY JOHN A. CRONE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 8.—Stocks stead- 1ly slipped after opening lower on the New York Curb Exchange toda: ‘The decline in prices brought activity into the list, offerings increasing as quota- tions eased. Aithough utilities proved the most active group, it was the miscellaneous industrials that showed the widest de- clines and greatest number of new Jows for the year. Electric Bond & Share got below 78, down more than 2 points. Cities Service around the 271, level was down almost a point. Goldman Sachs was the first point ©f pressure. Traders quickly hammered it down to 16, a record low, off . ‘This weakness was instantly transmit- ted to Blue Ridge & Shenandoah, common and preferred, and later spread to Central States Electric. Bears pounced on the harvesting {ssues at the outset and pounded Deere & Co. down to 67, a new low, off 5 points. Gleaner Harvester Combine gar2 way fractionally and other imple- ment issues softened. Aluminum Co. of America_ opened down 41, and Quaker Oats preferred slid 3', points. Among the oils the high-priced issues, such as Guif Oil, were the first to weaken. Vacuum was the soft spot in _tha Standard Oil list. Buckeye Pipe Line registered a new low at 547s. Northern Pipe scored another new low, at 37. Missouri-Kansas Pipe Line met pressure around midday. Two. more less Inactive rails ad- vanced, Western Maryland preferred Jumped 10 points on the sale of 20 shares and Pittsburgh & Lake Erie, at 117%, was up 1%. These movements, however, failed to stimulate demand for Pennroad Corporation, the curb's most active rail security. Aviation Credit Corporation featured dealings in air shares, as it soared to & record high for the year. The Reybarn Co., Inc, a holdn;g corporation, also recorded a new peak. Eisler Electric was the first of the radios to break into new low territory. Pilot Radio & Tube and Canadian Ma coni were both lower. De Forrest opened unchanged. American Cyanamid B opened slight- Iy lower, while Heyden Chemical, one of the inactive industrials, fell 3 points to a record low of 12. British-American Tobacco, down 24, also established a minimum quotation for the year. BONDS ON THE CURB DOMESTIC BONDS. : High. 103 798 Low.

STEEL OPERATIONS. NEW YORK, August 8 (#)—Dow, Jones & Co. reports that operating schedules of the United States Steel tion have been reduced this week and ingot production of subsidiaries of the corporation -is now at about 1 per cent of capacity, compared with a shade over 64 per cent week and at the beginning of the current week. Smaller lpeclflclt‘lm against_contracts on the books and new business in a limited amount are responsible for the reduc- tion.

New England, Northern New York and the South Atlantic coast re- gion below Virginia were the most fa- vorable crop sections of the East, but heavy general rains are needed through- out the country. Short pasturage, water scarcity, yellowing and drying of green crops nad wilting of fruit were features of the worst dry spell in many years. Shipments of fruits and vegetables were maintaining the usual volume mainly because of continued heavy movement of melons and Far Western fruit. Marketing of potatoes and green produce was limited owing to heat, drought, injury or low prices. Potato shipments are not much more than 500 carlots daily now. The great midseason shipping sections south of New Jersey, Minnesota and Colorado are about done and the Northern and West- ern States are not yet shipping actively. Prices have not vet responded well to the moderate supplies and limited crop prospects. The general price range is about half that of August, 1929. Pro- ducers in Eastern, Midwestern and Western producing sections are getting | to $1.25 per 100 pounds for best varieties. Haulings to country shipping points are rather light on ac- count of hot weather. Demand is slow, but improving in some districts. Rather firm conditions prevail in Midwestern markets, with advances of 10c to 25¢ in Chicago, but Eastern city markets show little improvement. New Jersey cobblers sell in large Eastern cities at $1.25 $1.50 per 100 pounds, which is_close the price a week ago. Long Island po- tatoes in bulk bring $1.25 to $1.40 in New York City, showing a slight de- cline compared’ with prices earlier in the month. Eastern Shore potatoes show but few price changes. Onion shipments are light, averaging ! about 60 cars dally in early August. Massachusetts and New York supplied fully half the usual daily carlot move- ment. Supplies are moderate in most Eastern cities, but liberal in Boston, and demand is slow everywhere. There is little further change in price. Mas- sachusetts yellow stock brings $1.25 to $1.50 per 100 pounds in Eastern mar. kets and about $1 at Connecticut Val ley shipping points. Demand is slow in producing sections, market dull and prices no more than steady. CHICAGO STbCK MARKET CHICAGO, August 8.—Following is change today: Sales in Bundreds. 50 Abbott Lab . STOCKS. High.
