NEW YORK, October 3.—An increase In offerings late in the first hour defi- nitely turned the price trend of Curb Exchange shares to lower levels, after an irregular opering today. Electric Bond & Share was down | about a point on this movement, along | with United Light & Power A and American Gas & Electric. Pennsyl- vania Water & Power was off about 2 points and so was Consolidated Gas of Baltimore. Cities Service and Standard Oil of Indiana were frac- tionally lower. Standard Oil of Indiana workers and the management at their tenth annual industrial relations conference Monday will discuss wage scales. Similar meet- jngs have been held here in recent weeks by other Standard Oil companies, but Friday's session a number of di- rectors of various Standard Oil com- panies was said to have been concerned with consolidations rather than wages. Pittsburgh Plate Glass exhibited a somewhat . firmer tone after weakness in previous sessions on the halving of the common quarterly dividend. Recent trends in raw cotton, which are bring- inz demands for lowered cloth prices, were reflected in the 3-point decline in Pepperell Manufacturing Ford Motor, Ltd., mirroring the tone of the London market, was easier, though Woolworth, Lid., common braced. Brazilian Traction and some other international utilities were vir- tually unchanged. General Electric, Ltd., was a shade lower. One of the few big blocks to appear E;(lay was & 5,000-share lot of Goldman chs at 27:. National Family Stores, ~which is in receivership, was a soft spot_on the chain store division. Parke- | Davis, with a gain of 2': points, was one of the brighter spots in the store ghare classification Cumberland Pipe at 323 and Eureka 8t 22 were the strongest issues in the glpr line group. This movement had en preceded by a semblance of | strength in such standard oils as Im- perial Oil. International Petroleum, South Penn Ofl and Standard Ofl of ! Kentucky | Aluminum Co of America, one of the | few active higher-priced incustrials, | was easy. The coppers failed to show much enthusiasm over the coming con- | ference to curtail production. { Carnation Co.. one of the few dairy- 1ng issues to appear. was a shade lower. Packing shares lagged Amusement shares showed a slightly increased de- | mand. and air stocks for the most part were lower on a small turnover. | BONDS ON THE CURB MARKET. DOMESTIC BONDS. san Hign.

COOLEY, Associated Press Financial Writer. NEW YORK, October 3.—Heavy liquidation from several sources crum- bled the security markets this week, creating an atmosphere of pessimism which many observers felt was nop wholly justified by events in other di- rections. Much selling was attributed to for- eign holders of American securities, who were eager to repatriate their funds. Thus while stock and bond prices de- clined here foreign ‘exchange rates firmed, and a substantial amount of our 1 |gold was either exported or set aside for shipment abroad. Liquidation by Banks. Liquidation by American banks seek- ing to strengthen their positions against an expected bank call and against the rising tide of currency hoarding was re- garded as another important factor. Such selling would account to a con- siderable degree for the extreme weak- % | ness of investment bonds, which were dumped in large volume. In addition, many out-of-town banks which had met financial difficulties were sellers in the New York market. There has been, of course, little or no change in the business picture and the fourth quarter opens with hopes for real improvement postponed until next vear. Bank failures. wage reductions and adverse dividend announcements continue to accentuate the pains of de- flation, but however distressing such news may be. it represents no new turn in affairs. There is immediately ahead a_ period of third-quarter earnings which are expected to be the poorest of the depression. To what extent the stock market has been able to do its usual discounting of these reports is problematical; in Wall Street's opinion they will represent something of a test. Loss of gold is regarded by bankers as a_constructive development, since it has long been recognized that distribu- tion of the world's reserves was badly out of adjustment. Our credit struc- ture is so strcng that bankers believe a billion or more could be surrendered without giving cause for concern, but it is not thought the loss will run so large unless foreign selling of securities con- tinues. Gold already lost has been | offset by heavy Rescrve System pur- | chases of acceptances. There is little doubt but that the easy money program & |15 to be maintained Repercussions of the British suspen- sion dislocated the foreign exchanges early in the week. when the Scandi- navian countries followed London's lead However, rates began to readjust them- selves later and foreign bonds accom- plished a fair recovery. Rail Rate Plea. The raflroads figured prominently in the week's news, for the Interstate Commerce Commission finished its hearings on the rate petition and lead- ing Eastern roads. after eight years of intermittent negotiation, finally agreed on their four-system merger plan. Wall Street is not taking it for granted that the freight rate increase will be grant- ed, and discussions as to whether the wage question will be taken up by the carriers are frequently heard Structural projects continue to feed orders into the steel plants, but opera- tions of that industry hover around the depression low. Automobile production | has slackened considerably and pros- | pects of a pick-up within the next few months seem to be slim. The steel wage cuts are said to have stirred up expectations that prices, too, will be re- duced, although trade circles report the large makers are resisting pressure for such a step.

Distinctly a New York product, Darby had heard there was considerable space west of the Hudson River, but he had not been prepared to admit that the country was as wide-open as he had found it. | Darby had enjoyed the branding, but | most of all he had enjoyed the idleness | of his job. Miss Kershaw had been very kind to Darby, too, in that she had sent him down an , safe saddle horse to ride. Also, she had sent a horse down for the gloomy. but efficient, Joseph; but, un- fortunately, she sent a stock-saddle with him, and as Joseph had never| ridden anything but an English saddle, his conservatism forbade that he should try anything new. He compromised. therefore, by taking long walks, after the fashion of his kind, shooting blue- | jays and hawks and fishing. Like Darby, he rejoiced because his master required but little service from him. s0n . Nate INSTALLMENT XIX. ARBY, Nate Tichenor's chauf-| feur, was enjoying to the full- est his master's visit to Eden however, the master had given the task | of posting “No Shooting, Fishing or Trespassing” notices from the gate at | the entrance to Eden Valley to the farthest limit of the Kershaw ranch. This task pleased both servants, par-| ticulary Joseph, who possessed a truly | Britannic passion for privacy and the protection of private shooting and fish- ing preserves from alien invasion. The | notices once up, therefore, Joseph saw | his duty plainly before him. With much misgiving, therefore, he climbed into the stock-saddle on the horse | Lorry Kershaw had sent him, slung a' 22-caliber rifle in a scabbard and set {forth to apprehend poachers—a poacher | being considered by Joseph as abso- lutely the lowest form of human life. For two days he ambled through the | pleasant valley, enjoying the solitude. The day Tichenor came home from San Francisco Darby seized upon his absence to go fishing, while "Joseph saddled his horse and set forth again {on his delightful journeying, his heart still beating high with the hope of find- ing a poacher. And late in the after- noon, as_the shadows were growing llong in Eden Valley and Joseph was |reminded that he must return home soon and prepare dinner for his master, | who had informed him he would dine at home that night, he discovered a poacher. He had ridden into a thick grove of yeilow pines when, happening to glance {up the side of the ridge that separated |Eden Valley from Forlcrn_Valley, he |saw a man descending through the {buckbrush and laurel. Through his master’s binoculars the excellent Jo seph made appraisal and discovered {the_man carried a rifle The man could readily have found more open going. yet he preferred to stick to the tall brush: nor did he ad- vance confidently as_an honest man should. Arrived at last at the foot, of the ridge, the fellow found himself |a hiding place in a clusip of laurel about 30 feet above the road. and Jo- seph both saw and heard him break off some branches as if to clear his view of the road. Then he sat down “Something devilish queer about this fellow—what>” Joseph decided. He got off his horse cautiously and slipped from tree to tree until he was within 40 yards cf the man, when he sat {down behind a clump of mazanita to awa't developments. Through his bi-!| noculars he could now make out the {man's form; he saw that the fellow's rifie rested in a crotch in a laurel| bush. “He's waiting for somebody.” Joseph concluded. “By Jove. a bally assassin— | what? The blighter will bear close | watching for a bit, I fancy Suddenly, up the valley, lcaught a ‘faint rumbling. He knew that would be his master’s automobile | |crossing a loosely planked little bridge | across_one of the small lateral streams | that flowed down the hillside to Eden Valley Creek. Instantly there was a !slight movement in the laurel bush: a little later Nate Tichenor's car ho into view. Joseph saw the hiding man hand come up and grasp the rifle, saw | his head come down to cuddle the | stock; so Jeseph, horribly excited. but | {with his duty ciear before him, sighted on the man’s head and pulled away. He was rewarded by hearing a grunt: then the bushes parted. the man leaped Joseph | "+ |down into the road and scuttled across it for the haven of the clump of sugar | pines in which Joseph was hidden.

By the Associated Press. p NEW YORK, October 3.—Dun’s says: “Brisk, cool weather during the week accelerated the demand for nearly all grades of seasonable merchandise, with the movement particularly accentuated in millinery, shoes, wearing apparel, draperies and household equipment. Heavy promotion work is being contin- ued by the majority of retail estab- lishments, with anniversary sales and novelty merchandising appeals featur- ing activities. The volume of dry goods and clothing sales shows considerable gain over that of former weeks and measures well up to_the volume of last ear.” i ‘Weekly bank clearings, $7.489.865.000, a decrease of 33.9 per cent from a year 0. Outside of New York there was a decrease of 33.5 per cent. Bradstreet's says: “Weather, favorable and otherwise, and the European situation affected trade throughout the entire country this week. Nearly all reports to Brad- street’s from 50 leading centers men- tioned the weather. In most sections the fortunate drop in temperature had stimulated h\lylnfn of seasonal goods. Continued dropping in retail * prices and large advertising expenditures are still the watchword among the depart- ment stores. Wholesale buying con- tinues cautious, and inventories are in good shape, with much of the slow- moving goods disposed of. This has | stimulated orders from the wholesalers, at least a little.
