News Service,)
NEW YORK, June 30.-Gloon
and pessinism enveloped the specu-
lative section OF Wall Street in the
early part of the week. The hears
ran riot in the stock market, fore
ing the greatest volume OF real
liquidation of any week this year.
and precipitating a demoralizine
decline in prices of high grade divi-
nd stock in every section OF the
list.
.ror a short time on Monday
morning 1t appeared that the re
assuring statements concerning the
solvency and stability Of large COM
mission houses under suspicion"
would have Its effect on sentiment,
and that prices would recover from
the slump which featured the close
OF the previous week. But the Wig
orous renewal Of the attacks Of
bearish professionals, together with
the heavy liquidation of long stocks,
soon turned the tide, and stocks
ONCE more started scurrying to
lower price levels.
While Wall Street houses were
Inclined to belittle the effect OF the
advice OF a New England statistical
agency to it's clients" to sell their
stocks unless they wished to carry
them through a long decline, there
is little doubt that considerable
liquidation by small traders was d.
rectly due to this Influence. Com.
mission houses reported q flood or
small selling orders at the time
when stocks were swiftly retreating
to the lowest price levels; but those
we're counterbalanced later in the
week, by good volume Of in
veetment buying.
There were two important land
marks in the records OF stock prices
this week: the first when the low
level OF this years averages was d1-
plicated on Monday and the second
when the average dropped below that
Of last November, supposedly q turn
Ing point in the market. This means
that all OF the advance In prices

industrial activity in the spring of
this year, and the excellent pros.

In the week preceding, the bears
had little difficulty in forcing prices
to levels which have been unknown
to the market leaders like Baldwin,

Concentrating on these speculative
leaders. which yielded as much as
10 points in single season, 1t was
comparatively easy for them to
spread the impression Of demoraIi-
1ation over the whole market.

NEW YORK, June 30.--Stock Of
the Stutz Motor Car Company
which was ruled off the stock ex-
change in 1920, may again be seen

day. The new owners of Stutz.

Stutx figured in the notorious
corner of 1920, as a result of which
the stock was blacklisted from the
board, and Allen Ryan expelled

bought in at auction at $50 q

s The Redwood County Red Cross
Chapter held its annual meeting in the
school house at Lamberton last Thurs

extremely interesting and informa-
tive. C.. M. Bendixen, the chairman
of the present Roll Call made short
and very strong plea for the support
of all the people of the County ii
the coming campaign. Mr.. Bendixen's
talk showed him to have very sym
pathetic understanding of the need Of
Red Cross support and his words were
an inspiration for all his listener:
/ to help him in the campaign. Miss
F. Lucille Joscelyn, the executive sec
retary. gave a report of her worl
through thes year laying stress or
what has been done with many Of the
ex-service men of the County in the
adjustment of claims and the assist
ance to sick men, etc. She also spoke
briefly of the work with the Chile
Welfare Board. Miss Fern Kennedy
gave an Interesting report Of ths
Junior Red Cross work of which she
is chairman. Fred Zander, treasurer
Of the county chapter, made repor1
on the chapter finances. The Lam
berton High School orchestra played
several selections during the evening
and vocal solos by Mrs. Earl Ander
son of Lamberton and Harold Enest
yedt of Belview were much, enjoyed
w. M Bollenbach of Lamberton led il
the assembly singing. A short bust
ness session was held for the electins
of County Directors and the meeting
then adjourned for short social houl
during which the ladies' and girls O.
