Tense fingerprint experts called in

The navy expert was called after
a photographer had testified that he
made enlarged photographs Of the
prints on "A calling card and Of the
left index finger Of the defendant.
State fingerprint experts had cs,i-
fled that the print on the card was
that Of Willie Stevens.
Taylor was examined by Special
Prosecutor Alexander Simpson as to
his qualifications as an expert, with
an imprOvised easel bearing greatly
enlarged photographs Of the two
fingerpritns.
Not the Same
The witness was asked il he had
examined the two finrcrprints and
replied in the affirmative.

Taylor then took a position before
tho easel with a long pointer, to
point out the characteristics Of the
Derusscy's Lane fingcrprint as
shown on map pinned to the wall,
and indicated the discrepancies in
the prints as he observed them. He
said that he found bIank IN one,
and not the other. a dot in ono was
missing, and whore one showed an
abrupt ending Of ridge there was
u vacant space in the other. Cross
examination went over until tomor-
row.

Unloading of General Motors on a
large scale sent that stock plunging
downward to 14SS, more than 25 points
below it's recent peak. Strong SUPPORT
and short covering brought about q
short-lived rally, but it sagged again
at the close to 148A, which repre-
scented net decline of 4h points for
the day. Additional automobile price
cuts chilled speculative enthusiasm for
other motor issues, with Hudson, Stu
deballer and Chrysler all easing off.
The erratic character OF trading was
reflected in the temporary recoveries
of to 8 points from the days lows
which took place under the impetus of
short covering in Coca-Cola, Wool
worth, Case Threshng Machine and
Commercial Solvents B. The subse-
quent relapse carried all with the ex-
ception of Woolworth under last
weeks closing figures. Losses of 2 to
4 points were recorded by Adams Ex-
press, Atlantic Refining, Allied Chem
ical, General Asphalt preferred, In

heavy for time, Chesapeake and Ohio
taking part in the downward movement
along with Delaware and Hudson,
Louisville and Nashville, LackawannaI
and Atchison. -"
The commodity markets displayed al
better tone. Cotton rallied. 81 to 39I
points, as buying was influenced by the
plans of the special Coolidge committed
to aid the marketing of the crop.
Wheat futures advanced about al
cent and coffee held steady. Sugar was
a shade lower.
A brisk rally of about 12 points in
Italian lire to the highest price of the
year around Alp cents was attributed
in some quarters to the trapping tof a.
short interest in the exchange and in
others to financial reforms in Italy.
Trading in other foreign exchanges
was quiet Sterling held around

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-(AP)-Tnfiuence
both by unfavorable. weather in Can
ada and by fears that Canadian gov
ernment crop estimates would be re-
duced, wheat values went higher to-
day Closing quotations on wheat were
firm, nc to 1c net higher, with corn at
1Ac to 1Ac advance, oats showing p c
to 11sc gain and provisions varying
from tic decline to a rise of &c
With the Canadian official crop re-
port as well as the crop report from
the United States government each
due after the close, previous sellers of
wheat showed uneasiness almost from
the outset today Nevertheless, general
buying was held in check pending the
issuance of new official figures. Most
of tho trade had a correct belief that
the washington estimate would be
about identical with the average of re-
cent private returns. On the other
hand, somewhat general apprehension
was manifest regarding chances that
Canadian estimates of yield might
show big decrease because of a wet
harvest.
Added to misgvings about snow and
rain today in Canada and likelihood
of further hindrance to the crop move
ment was word that the United States
visible supply had been curtailed 234,-
600 bushels and that indications points
to a decided falling off of winter wheat
seeding in Illinois. Further talk of
shortage of ocean vessels available for
grain carrying was heard but the
amount of wheat on ocean passage was
reported as larger today than either q
week ago or a year ago.
Corn and oats developed more
strength than for some time. 1t was
generally anticipated that the govern
ment crop report as to corn would
prove bullish. Oats were affected by
advices of heavy losses since harvest.
Provisions rallied owing to sympathy
with cotton and cotton oil, but SELL
ing pressure increased, and the ad-
vance failed to hold

STOCK MARKET AVERAGES

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-(AP)-An-
other aggressive selling movement
shook the stock market today and
prices crumbled away in all sections of
the list. Efforts to stem the wave of
liquidation by extending support to the
usual market leaders were partially
successful for a time, but the drive for
toward the close and net declines of /
to Az points predominated. Although
the sweeping declines of the past week
had been expected to improve the mar
ket's technical position, fears that the
slump in cotton prices would depress
general trade and that credit conditions
might become uncomfortably tight con-
tinued to cast their shadows over trad
ing activities. relatively stiff rate
of per cent prevailed for call money
despite a large surplus in reserves of
the New York banks at the end of
last week.
In the fact of an increase in un-
filled tonnage reported by the U. S.
Steel corporation as of September 80,
