a decline in price following the fl
nancial panic in Japan.

General Motors Weak

More than two-thrds of the selling
in General Motors yesterday was re-
ported to have come from one house.
On the floor Of the exchange it was
said that brokers representing this
firm put in buying orders in other
parts of the list to give the market an
appearance of strength so that the
liquidation in G. M. could go on without
attracting too much attention. The
stock was weaker than it has been at
any time since the exchange from the
old 500 par value shares. After open
ing at 231s selling orders appeared in
great volume, and it was not until the
last hour that the stock showed any
rallying power. The total turnover
amounted to nearly 100000 shares, of
which it was said $4,000 shares came
from one house. At 2OM the stock was
only three-quarters of point above
the price at which the Morgan group
recently underworld 1,419,000 shares of
new stock. The high of the year was AZ.

United States Steers Report

United States Steel's report for the
June quarter, in which nearly 81 a
share was earned for the common stock,
was considered a good one, consider
ing the relatively small April earnings.
In order to offset drop from SIS, 704,-
900 in March to $12, 19o,446 in the first
month of the second quarter May and
June had to greatly outstrip January
and February, and this was done with a
total margin of s1,066,686 for the sec
ond quarter. With business coming in
at the rate it was in March, the only
apparent explanation for the sharp
slump in April was the outlaw railroad
strike, which mad the effect of greatly
restricting operations. The Steel Cor
poration was also handicapped by the
fact that many of its own cars had been
diverted to other lines by the railroad
administration and had not vet been

Crucible and Houston Oil

The shorts in Crucible Steel and
Houston Oil experienced considerable
difficulty yesterday in buying back
stock sold in anticipation of decline
without spiritedly bidding up the prices
Of these issues. Houston Oil was the
particular star performer in this re-
to lo6, and closed more than seven
points higher, at 1O4A A drilling
campaign on the company's property in
the Hull field, Texas, has resulted in
the completion of four new wells in
the last two weeks, with a combined
initial production Of 5000 barrels.
Crucible lived up to its reputation as
being a mystery stock by showing
greater rallying power than the other
steel shares. After selling down to
141z it recovered at the close to 148,
where net gain o. 2A points was
recorded.

I'm Wall Street
"Coppering" the Experts

So many Of the market writers for
brokerage firms have been wrong this
year in their diagnosis Of price move
mcnts that hopeful sign was seen yes
terday in their predictions of still
lower quotations in the near future
With few exceptions the majority Of
market letters that went out last night
were saturated with indigo. If past
observations count for anything the
commentators are just as likely to be
wrong this time as they were when
they were advising their customers to
buy stocks when prices were much
higher. Now they are laying great en-
phasis on the strained credit situation
when conditions we're no different a
few weeks ago, and, in the opinion Of
conservative bankers. are not likely to
get any worse, despite the expected
heavy demand for cropmoving pur-
poses.

Move to Break Precedent
Proposal to Refer to Members
by Name Instead of by Dis
trict Is SUueIcbed
rom The Tribune'S European RuYedu


LONDON, April 27-There is one
thing in England which age cannot
wither nor even the steady growth Of
democracy change to any marked de-
gree, and that is precedent. Because a
thing has been done, is, to the true
Englishman, most indisputable rea-
son why it should continue to be
done. Particularly is the Englishman
jealous of his parliamentary precedent.
A "hippant" Che is so described with
horror by the press) Irish member sug-
gested that considerable time would b
saved and confusion avoided if mem
bers were to address and refer to one
another by name instead of after the
present fashion, "the honorable mem
Der for So-and-so." There was never
moment when such proposal stood
chance of success and he was
squelched as only the present Speaker
of the House knows how.
The question has been raised, how
ever, relative to whether a member
who has given up his rank in the army
should still be referred to as the "hon-
orable and gallant member" This is
the present custom. Kings councillors
are spoken Of as honorable and
learned"
One change has been made though,
wherein precedent is not exactly in
vclved, whereby a member who has put
down a question on the question paper
and then is not IN his seat at the
appointed time to ask it must wait for
an answer until all members present
who have questions have been salts
fled. Then friend of the absent
questioner may put it on his behalf
