NEW YORK August 30.-Heavy sell
ing at the opening of the market today
depressed prices rapidly. a number OF
issues fell to the lowest point of the
present extended downward movement,
including International Harvester. which
lost ga, Lehigh Valley 1 and Southern
Pacific a. Losses of a point were sus-
tanned by Canadian Pacific and Amalga-
mated Copper and virtually the entire
list of active issues receded under the
pressure of the heavy selling.
International Harvester extended its
decline to FIVE points and several of the
active stocks went to lower levels before
the downward movement was checked.
on the rally Union Pacific made UP all
of it's loss, and Reading, United States
Steel and some other stocks recovered to
about yesterdays closing.
Losses Are Recovered.
Trading in stocks was largely in the
hands of professional operators during
the morning session. A sharp bear at
tack at the opening upset prices for a
time. but the market gradually over
came the influence of the short selling
and losses were recovered. Labor trou-
bles on the Hartman lines resulted in
continued weakness of those shares. and
Union Pacific and Southern Pacific
touched new low points for the year.
Speculation became very quiet on the
recovery, but the market showed more
stability than usual. Buying for the
short account placed the list by noon
generally above yesterdays close.
On the curb Standard Oil lost II
points following yesterdays rise OF 46
points. Bonds were steady.

ginning OF the cotton industry in the
United States. All other factories in the
the first six months it produced 1s9 pieces
Of cotton and linen cloth.

Slater from memory, as no models or

a salary of 81 a day, and had nine as

Congress- man Tilson has motion on file dis charging the committee on interstate commerce from the further consider ation of this bill which will have the effect of bringing the bill to the floor of the house for vote.
 The Higgins-Jodoin contest from the Third district is another matter of in terest that will come up for settle ment during the early days of the ses- sion. During the recess the papers have all been filed and the case is ready to go to the committee on cleo tions at once.
 If the leaders decide to unseat Mir Higgins it will be the first case Of it's kind for several years.

 Active Management Little Changed.
 Today's action affects not only the New Jersey company, but a number Of other corporations in the Standard Oil group. Although the list of officers and directors is virtually made over, the active management will be changed but little. The men who now come to the front have been gradually taking over ciates.
 Make Way for Younger Men.
 To what extent todays action is an outcome of the dissolution of Standard oil was not disclosed from any au- thOritauve source. It is generally un- derstood that the decision of the Unit ed States supreme court merely has vancing years made it certain that they could not retain their places much longer. It is regarded as probable that MT. Rockefeller and his associates thought that younger fnen should as sufne the work of rearransing the af- order of things.
