One OF the worst breaks Of recent

about a decline from rs to SO before
supporting orders put in their appear

the time chosen for Offering the shares

Heavy Selling 9
Cutting of Stromberg Car
buretor Dividend Is the
Signal for Attack; List
Unsettled by the Action

Speculative attention was focused
yesterday on the motor shares The
cutting in half Of the dividend paid
on Stromberg Carburetor WAS the sig
nal for the launching Of mass attack
oy short sellers on the automobile and
accessory stocks. and a sharp decline
among these unsettled the whole array
Of securities
Behind the selling of the motor
shares was the assumption Of specu-
lators operating for the decline that
1t might be necessary for other con-
Germs in this industry to alter their
dividend policies However, bear trad
ers apparently did not discriminate
carefully, and pounded this part Of this
list with all the force they could sum-
mon without any specific knowledge
about plans of direotorates. The s per
cent preferred stock of the Pierce Ar
row Company was exceedingly weak.
losing 17l2 points before late re-
covery reduced the recession for the
day to 1919 points. The security
changed hands yesterday as low as SO,
and has sold as high as l0S l2 this year
When asked whether any change in
the affairs of the company explained
the action Of the stocks, drcceors at
market factors and called attention 70
the fact that the dividend payable or
January 1 had been declared.
In the general swing downward, some
OF the food, petroleum and steel stocks
were notably affected, but despite the
reaction the standard stocks yielded
little. The rails especially revealed
steadiness.
In the commodity markets contra
other, and after somewhat sharp huctu-
ations. the net changes for the day
were insignificant. Wheat quotations,
after declining 4 cents TO the bushei,
retraced their losses in the latter part
of the session, and closed only slight
ly lower than on Tuesday, Corn prices n.
hnal sales showed little change, vary
ing from gain of five-cights of q cent
to q loss Of one-quarter Of cent Cot
ton quotations were slightly easier
Because of the extreme irregularitv
in the markets at present the day to
day fluctuations are likely to be either
misleading or uninformative. In the
stock markec the volume Of transac-
tons was again relatively small, and
despite activity in the motors quietudc
prevailed elsewhere.
Sterling exchange recovered and then
reacted, but francs moved upward for
the day

Butter and Exchange

Danish butter and potatoes figured
as important factors in the foreign ex-
change market yesterday. Exchange on
Copenhagen had quite rise, getting
up nearly half cent to the kroner
at one stage OF the day The bankers
attributed the squirt to the heavy
arrivals here OF Danish butter and
potatoes. Shipments of butter have
been especially large in recent weeks
and have helped to create q demand in
this market for exchange on Copen-
hagen incidentally the Danish butter
has been factor in driving down the
price OF American butter.

Railroad Traffic SLUMP

Reports continue to come in OF

attributable partly to the at'itudc of
farmers in holding their crops foY
Nigher prices. Concrete evidence OF
the decline is found in the latest fig

that 10000 fewer ears were loaded in

ing. While this is the t,re Of the

be held to correct a technical error
which occurred when the first elec-
ton was held When the S15O.OO0
bonds for the high school were
voted last summer the limit which
could be appropriated under the as
sessed valuation would not cam
plete the building, due to increasco
costs, delays and additional s,ruc-
lures. II was understood at that
time that when the valuation for
the following year was made "A $780,
600 addition to the Sl5O,OO0 bonds
would be asked ana voted without
a dissenting vote. The bonds We're
voted, but due to teChniCality, the

construction will have an auditorium
which will seat | 200 people ana II
