NEW LOW LEVELS
HIT BY RAILROADS
AND INDUSTRIALS|

NEW YORK, May l.-Persistent
selling by professional short interests
brought about heavy forced liquida-
ton In todays active stock market,
the averages for 20 barometric rail-
road and industrial stocks being
forced to new low levels for the year
The industrial average showed net
loss of nearly 2 points on the day
and their average about half that
amount.
A large volume of today's liquida-
ton is reported to have come from
discouraged and tired holders of
stocks purchased at high prices weeks
or months ago. Cumulative evidence
of a slackening in basic lines of bust
ness with a resultant decrease in or
ders for future delivery and a relaxa-
ton of commodity prices has had an
unfavorable effect on sentiment. EN-
cept in a few isolated spots, the mar
ket has also exhibited marked
lack of effective buying support,
which was expected to be forthcom-
ing before prices broke below their
previous low figures.
Announcement of cut from $3.50
to 81 in the semi annual dividend of
the Pacific Oil company came after
the market closed and was not uneX-
pected because OF the conditions
known to prevail in the industry.
Over-production of California crude
oil has been the principal depressing
Influence on the prices of oil shares.
Pacific Oil closed Is lower at 1855
after having sold as high as So during
the day.
Continual weakness of United
States Steel common, which reached
a new low at 5A and then rallied to

had general unsettling effect on the
rest of the list. Among the more
than twoscore other stocks which es
tahlished new low prices for the year
were American Car. American Tobac
co and B, Davidson Chemical, Viz
ginia- Carolina Chemical B, Austin
Nichols. Wilson Packing, Postum.
Cereal, Detroit Edison, Columbia Gas,
Consolidated Gas, North American,
Studebaker. United States Alcohol,
Missouri Pacific common and pre-
ferred, Rock Island, Lehigh Valley
ern, the net losses ranging from l to
points.
California Petroleum was the only
outstanding active stock to move
against the current trend, selling as
high as 100 and closing at $50 for
net gain of q. Virginia Carolina
Chemical preferred advanced points
on a small turnover in response to
short covering operations.
Foreign exchange business was ex-
tremely quiet because of the Whit
suntide holidays abroad. Trading was
therefore largely local affair, de-
rnand sterling being unchanged at
s4.631s and French francs rallying
slightly to 6.671sc.
Withdrawal of ss1,Ooo,o 900 by the
federal government from local banks
resulted in a somewhat SITTER rate
for call money, which opened at AZ
per cent, advanced to 8 and thence to
512, where 1t closed. Time money
was still on a per cent basis, the
bulk of prime commercial paper NOV
Ing at the same rate.

$4,15o,ooo For state Roads.

approximately $3,15O,O0O will be
available for new road construction
in Maryland during 1923, with ST ,OOo,-
600 more to be spent on. work held
over from this year, John N. Mack
all, chairman Of the State Roads Com
mission, announced.
Mr.. Mackall is now busy with the.
construction program for next year.
Before this is definitely decided on
he said, the ideas of the various
County Commissioners as to what
work should be undertaken in 1923
will be considered, and requests for
this information have already been
sent out
Funds for the new work will be sup
piled by the Federal, State and county
governments. Post roads will require
S1,500,000, half from the United States
Government and half from the State.
The same amount will be spent on
lateral roads, half to be supplied by
the State and half by the counties in
which the work is done. In addition,
$15O,O00 has been set aside for bridge
construction.
In spite of the fact that the work
of the Commission was seriously i'm.
terfered with by the strike of the
railroad shopmen. which delayed the
delivery of much construction ma
terial, 1922, was banner year for
road building in Maryland. The Com
mission completed ISL miles of road
l-109 of concrete. IL macadam and
rs gravel-at total cost of $3.5OO,,
900.
Work carried over to the coming
year totals 104 miles and will cost
about $1,OOO,OO0 Mr.. Mackall said.
In addition to this, the construction
OF the Robert Grain highway in South
ern Maryland will be continued, for
which the unexpended balance of the
$250,0OO appropriation forN1922 will be
available in addition to, like sum
for. next year. The building Of the
new Severn river bridge will be push.
ed also.
Operations on this bridge have now
stopped for the winter, with IL spans
on the Annapolis end completed. All
the piles have been driven and cut off
even with the river bed.
Mr.. Mackall predicted that the re-
ceipts from the gasoline tax of one
cent per gallon would completely wipe
out the long-standing maintenance
deficit of the Commission by the end
OF 1928, caused by borrowings of about
$1,O00.00O from construction and Sew.
ern river bridge funds. On January
l, 1924, the tax becomes two cents per
gallon, with the purpose of doing away
eventually with the present system Of
taxation per horsepower.
