FINANCIAL 110 LOWER LEVELS Unfavorable News Develop- ' ments Result in' Heavy Selling Movement. BY JOHN A. CRONE. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, March 30.—Stocks were in supply,on the curb exchange today.

C, MONDAY, MARCH 30, IRAILWAY ACCIDENT TOTAL SHOWS DROP Fatalities in 1930 Were Low- est for Any Year Since 1922, Report States. Fatalities due to' highway grade- crossing accidents were the lowest in 1930 for any year since 1922, according to <omplete reports for the year just filed by the railroads with the Inter- state Commerce Commission and made public today. Complete reports for 1930 show that 2,020 persons lost their lives in grade- crossing accidents, which was & reduc- tion of 465, or nearly 19 per cent, com- pared with the number of fatalities in 1929. Persons injured in such accidents in 1930 totaled 5517, a reduction of 1,287, compared with the preceding In 1930 there were 4,853 acci- s at highway grade crossings, com- pared with 5,975 in 1920. This reduction of nearly 19 per cent in the number of fatalities resulting from highway grade-crossing accidents in 1930 compared with 1929 took place in the face of an increase of approxi- mately 4 per cent in all other fatalities on the highways of this country. The railroads, in co-operation with various safety organizations, have for years waged a vigorous campaign in an effort to impress upon the public the “ssity for exercising the maximum ng and | 42 crossings, that has taken place er of accidents at such crossings part, due to th2 1931. WHEAT AGAIN PUSHED FORWARD TO LEADERSHIP By the Assoctated Press. CHICAGO, March 30.—King Corn 15 dead! Long live King Wheat! Deposed by the native maize nearly three months ago, wheat was shoved back into the cereal throne today in the Chicago of Trade. The Federal Farm Board's decision to keep “hands off” after the 1930 wheat crop is marketed ended corn’s brief dynasty and once more placed wheat trading in the big pit. Early last Monday, before the Farm Board's week end decition had re- echoed over the vast trading hall, the fingers that signal offers and ac- ceptances flew faster. The trade, lying dormant during the Government's stabilization of the 1930 crop, eagerly bounced into the wheat pit again. The futures sales of that day gave graphic evidence of wheat's resurging tide, viz.: Monday, 30,718,000 bushels: a week ago, 11,876,000 bushels; a year ago, 37,609,000, Overnight the trade had boomed | sales to the leadership of old. For the first time since the Grain Stabllization Corporation set stabilizing prices wheat sales passed corn. To the trade it was “Independence week"—signalizing the trade's ascend- ancy once more to control of sales. For the week, total sales were 119,393,000 bushels, compared to 63,679,000 bushels the previous week. After last November’s Farm Board stabilizing price for March and May wheat was set traders settled into an attitude of watchful aloofness. Wheat sales dropped to rock bottom almost overnight. The big pit was silent much of the day. The corn trading, instead, be- | camé the scene of frenzled fingsring On January 7 the Board of Trade chose a native king. Corn went into the big_pit. The traders, jubilant once more, were | were $28,245,587.86 | penditures, $6,830.857.81.

NEW YORK, March 30.—Belief that the Australian Commonwealth is com- mitted for the payment of both inter- est and principal of New South Wales obligations, should that state carry out its threat to stop interest on a lon of its forelgn debt, was expressed today in Moody's Iavestors Service. 0oody's quotes a section of the agree. vidual States, which provides that the Commonwealth will take over on July 1, 1929, “the balance then unpaid of the gross public debt of each State existing on 30th June, 1927 . . . IHAGHINE AGE HELD STILL IN FUTURE BY JOHN H. VAN DEVENTER, Laymen, whose chief experience with machinery has consisted in stepping on motor car starter buttons or turning radio dials, are fond of calling this “the Machine Age.” But you will not find trained engineers or industrial ex- ecutives who know machinery refer to the present time in these terms. They know that the real Machine Age is yet to come, The closer people are to the business of mechanization, the more willing they are to admit that it is sl in fs . fancy. E. W. Rice, jr., honorary chair- man of the Board of the General Elec- tric Co., who has had a 50-year elec~ trical engineering background, says that the real wonders of electricity are yet to come. He ought to know. Reflect on this statement in the light of what elec- tricity has already done for us.
