New York, July 24.-Half a score of stocks. some of them market leaders, established new low records on the pres ent decline in the early trading on the stock exchange today. These included St. Paul. Louisville and Nashville, Northwestern, Wabash preferred, Union Pacific, Brooklyn Rapid Transit Metro politan, American Car and Foundry, Col orado Fuel and Rock Island common.
 Especial pressure was directed against Brooklyn Rapid Transit the price or which fell lower than at any time since the end of the 'Blower' boom Other minor issues in the railway and indus trial group reached prices as low as any of their history.
 Further selling pressure was shown in the steel stocks. A block of 60O0 shares of common came out at 2ss to 2zas, tne latter being yesterdays closing prlce' Steel preferred held steady The mar ket was extremely active, with further evidence of liquidation, resulting from exhausted margins and oYer-e1tehs'oh oi various operators.
 Renewed liquidation in increasing volume came in the second hour, and al- most every stock in the list receded. The selling came from all sides, additional lots of copper. which were below yester- days low record, being offered for Bostoh account Wire houses sold around the room. house with important Cmcago connections and steel affiliations was ex- tremely active, although report credited 1t with some buying.
 The exchange was the scene of great eX- citement in the second hour, while the whole market was tumbling and creating new low records.
 Absence of demand seemed to be the controlling reason for the decline in the high-class railroads. The drop in St. Paul was reported to have resulted from the li- quidation of a moderately large line or stock by a Philadelphia house.
 Declines of to points were common in the active list, while some of the in- active stocks fell even lower. Low records for the current movement embraced number of the best securities in the list The market rallied towards noon, St. Paul recovering points and other stocks of the same class showing substantial im- provements,
 The banks continue to view the stock market situation with apparent uncon cern, but are showing extreme conservat- ism in their loans.

CUBANS DESIRE
 NO SUPERVISION
PRESIDENT PALMA THINKS HIS COUNTRY CAN ATTEND TO THE LOAN WITHOUT THE ASSIST AEcE OF UNITED STATES.

Havana, July 24.-In reference to the statement cabled from the United States to the effect that the government at Washington, under the authority of the Platt amendment, would exercise super vision of the Cuban loan, President Palma informed the Associated Press representative that any such supervis- ion would be considered odious by the people of Cuba. He explains that Cuba has fully met the requirements of the Platt amendment in this regard by pro- viding for any increase in the public revenue in excess of what would be re- quired to meet the interest and sinking fund of the loan and that, in addition, there is already a surplus of more than $S, 900 900 in the treasury.
 While 1t would be natural and proper for the United States to satisfy itself that the conditions of the Platt amend ment were being complied with. Presi- dent Palma does not believe that any sort of intervention or supervision is contemplated.
 The appointment of three commission CTS. authorized to proceed to the United States, and possibly to Europe. to nego- tlate and report upon the loan, will be announced shortly.
