WHOLESALE CALLS
FOR MARG|NSARE
CAUSE OF BREAK
Liquidation of Impaired Ac-
counts Brings About Early ,
Morning Reaction.
The WALL STREET JOURNAL

NEW YORK. May 4.-WholesaIe
margin calls were sent out following
the further drastic decline in Thurs
days session and heavy liquidation
took place in today's early dealings
by traders who were unwilling or
unable to furnish additional protec.
ton for their holdings. Stewart War
mel was one of the weakest features,
dropping to 9915, q loss of more than
20 points since last Saturday.
First Hour
Further adjustment Of impaired &C
counts resulted in considerable irreg-
ularity in the first hour but selling
pressure hghtened before II O'Clock
and the list began to show a better
tone. Impressive support was given
certain stocks by large interests. This
was true of Steel, General Electric.
Kennecott. General Motors and Sin
clair. Standard Oil stocks were
steady.
Second Hour
Another Outburst of selling after II
a. m carried Steel common to a fur
Their new low for the year at 1885
and resulted in general recessions
throughout the list. With a few ex-
ceptions, stocks in both the industrial
and rail groups lost additional
ground. Bears used as a background
for this drive the fact that reserve
statements for this week showed an
increase in rediscount paper with ra-
tics at slightly lower levels.
Noon Hour
Liquidation Of issues on impaired
marginal accounts amounted almost
TO a panic in noon dealings. Scenes of
1919 were recalled as stocks were
thrown overheard, apparently with
out thought of price Of value. The
reaction was so rapid that the whole
market was demOralzed for the time
when such stocks as Stewart-Warner
dropped points between sales.
Fourth Hour
The earlier part of the fourth hour
promised little more than a continu-
alton of the severe reaction of the
noon hour, but toward > o'clock many
active issues had met with support
that brought quite a few back to
their earlier lows. The recovery,
however, was not general throughout
the list and many issues continued
their fractional declines.
Closing Hour
The close of the days market ses-
sion though not impressive from the
standpoint Of averages was Of much
brighter character than might have
been expected during the panicky
transactions in the noon hour. Sew
eral stocks were able to regain at least
a fair portion Of their days losses
while not an inconsiderable number
failed to meet with such success.
Twenty active industrial stocks Thurs
day averaged $3.50, off 1.75 per cent.
Twenty active rails averaged S4.22, off
81 per cent.

FIRST Contributor
Generous Hearted Americas Wo-
man Again First Giver To
Empty Stocking Fund

Mrs. Stella C. Thurman is the
first contributor to the 1928 Empty
Stocking Fund.
When her dollar ratified into the
till, Mrs Thurman had repeated on
her gift OF last year, wien she at
tanned The honor of being the first
to contribute TO this community
fund.
Dollars will come in quickly now.
Americas people are generous in
the spirit of holiday giving and
with throngs beginning to visit re-
tail stores here, the Christmas
spirit is gradually pervading many
institutions.
This is the season of Christmas
shopping. Live merchants are of
fering many inducements to bring
out early shoppers. Only IL more
shopping days remain until Christ
mas morning. Early buyers are
busy getting gifts together to re.
member their friends. How many
Of these will overlook the Empty
Stocking fund? Few, indeed, will,
unless Americas people have lost
their generosity.
Riddles in the poorer districts,
where Santa Claus sometimes skips
his annual visits, are looking for
ward to his coming this year with
ardent interest. The Times-Recor-
der's Empty Stocking Fund is the
star that shines for these needy
little ones 1t is the magic wand
which provides for them the spirit
of Christmas. How much of this
spirit can be provided will be de-
cided by residents of Americus'
trading territory. There should be
generous contributions daily here
after.

CRISP OPENS FIGHT
FOR FARMERS

Charles r. Crisp, Amerleus man
and Representative from the Third
Georgia congressional district, be-
fore leaving for his Washington
post, stated to a Times-Recorder
representative that he would wage
the farmers battle for the reduc-
ton of calcium raseuate costs in
the present session of congress.
The effort made in the White
House conference is thought by
friends to be the beginnign of a
long fight to help Southern agricul-
tural interests. Other interests are
expected to line up in the fight to
reduce the cost of production of cot
ton in the extensive cotton belt of
the Southland.
Georgia does not alone pay the
protective tariff taxes, and friends
of the movement state that efforts
to enlist other representatives will
be made. 1t is also preiicte that
manufacturing interests will favor
the reduction Of cotton production
cost thereby lowering the cost of
that commodity to them.

CRISP LOSES IN FIGHT
FOR CUT IN TARIFF ON
ARSENIC. PROBE ASKED
Third District Representative
Gets Promise Of Investiga
tons From Coolidge
LOWER COTTON COSTS
Representative Vinson Aids In
Seeking Relief For South
ern Cotton Farmers

WASHINGTON, Dec. S.-Presi-
dent Coolidge assured Representa-
tive Crisp, os Georgia, -Gonfer'
ence at the White House Friday,
that he would order the United
States Tariff commission to make
an investigation into calcium arsen-
at. which the Southern cotton
bloc" desires be placed on the free
list to make it cheaper for South
ern farmers who are using 1t eX-
tensively in the war on the boil we
vii.
Representative Crisp spent some
time with the president, discussing
the Southern farm situation. The
president expressed desire to be
helpful in every possible way in
aiding the Southern farmer.
The president has power to ordsr
the tariff commission to increase or
lower tariff duties to 80 per cent
of their present rate. The present
rate on calcium arsenate is rs cents
a pound. Provided the investiga-
ton Of the commission convinces
Coolidge of the necessity Of lower
ng the duty, he could reduce il 10
minimum Of IL 1-2 cents.
Several members of congress, in
Guiding Representatives Crisp and
Vinson, of Georgia, have already
introduced bills providing for the
transfer Of calcium arsenate to thc
free list, which would remove al
duty and thus introduce foreign
competition, which would tend &c
lower the price.
Some relief might be afforde1
while these bills are going through
committee by the president order
ing the tariff lowered to the mini
mum the law allows him, if the leg
islation should be held up for a long
time. However, the tariff commits
sion usually takes considerable
time in it's Investigations, and not
a great deal Of relief can be promis
ed through this means.
Representative Crisp Informed
the president that the cotton crop
in Georgia, normally around 2,00O,-
600 bales, has ~dwindled to 600
600 bales because Of the ravages Of
the boil weevil.

labor coalition with Baldwin.
British political life IN the mean
time is in chaos, and leaders are
feeling for the popular wave. With
the three parties so nearly divided,
officials were Of the opinion that
only a coalition government could
possibly be formed.
Political observers Saturday were
of the opinion that if Baldwin re-
NAMED at Downing for a few days
he would feel out Lloyd-George in
ali effort to ascertain the possible
ity of a nservative-liberal coaii-
ton cabinet. Labor leaders were
said to have expressed themselves
as favoring a conservative-liberal
oaltion, because that would disgust
the country and thereby strengthen
the labor party

While Americans are wrestling
with the problem of taxes and well
coming the promise of reduction
contained in President Coolidge's
message, British voters dealt yith
the taxation issue by voting down a
protective tariff. Conservative de-
feats in districts where they ex-
pected to win easily are attributed
largely to the fear that protection
would mean high taxes on food.
Furthermore, the laborites made
spectacular gains and theirs was a
campaign with a capital tax levy as
the main issue.
The first result of the election
would seem to indicate that tariffs
are dead in Great Britain for years
to come. Conservatives can extract
little consolation from their rivals
failure to obtain majority, as
both liberals and laborites opposed
tallf1s in any form and Baldwin
had asked a mandate on the single
issue-tariff or no tariff.
