For the first time In the history of either political party. candi- date for U. S. senator was the prin- cipal speaker at the democratic rally last night at the Grange hall. About 30 voters were present, more than half being republican. Rollin U. Tyler of Haddam. democratic candidate for U. S. senator, in a short speech. stressed principally the fact that Senator Bingham and the republican congressman from 1 this state have not always done ! their full duty to President Coo lidge. Mir. Tyler gave as an exam pie the time in 1925 when republi- can senators overruled the veto of i the chief executive in regard to the postal salaries bill. At that time, l Mir. Tyler said, Senator Bingham was in Connecticut and could not aid the president when he needed 1t.
 MT. Tyler flayed J. Henry Rora- back for the methods he uses in running the state republican organ ization. He said that in 1922. when he was sent to the legislature as a representative from Haddam, there was not one democrat placed on any of the eight most important committees and of 150 officials ap- pointed to the inferior courts of the state, none were democrats.
 Mir. Tyler thinks that if the re- publican leaders had not realized their overwhelming power, they would never have allowed MT. Bing- ham to be nominated as senator when he had already been elected governor.
 Although the democrats, have been advocates of states rights for long time. MT. Tyler said that 1t is only recently that any republican senators from Connecticut have f been favorable toward that ques- ton. He claimed that the two pres ent T.. S. senators are now in faV- or of states rights and think 1t Is good thing.
 MT. Tyler closed by saying that this is good time to think over the state and national needs and make up our minds as to whether or not this state would be in a more fortunate position if both par ties were of more equal strength

Advertising Committee
Of Michigan C. of C.
Doing Splendid Work

Directors of the local chamber of
commerce are interested in the fol-
lowing account of special adver-
tising committee which is functionng
in Fremont, Mich, along the same
lines as the committees chosen here
recently of which DR.. F. T. Wright
is chairman.
According to a druggist in the
Michigan city who has been observ-
ing the growth of such committees
throughout the country, the advertise
ing group in Fremont has been high
ly successful.
Commenting on it's work in "The
Pharmaceutical Era" of March 20 he
has the following to say:
"The chamber of commerce in this
city has standing committee of
three members of which the writer
is chairman. This committee passes
upon the merits of the questions Of
all solicitors, of each and every ma
ture. If the proposal is approved by
the committee, the secretary Of the
chamber grants and issues a permit.
No solicitor without a permit gets to
first base because the first question
asked him when he presents his case
to a member is: Have you per-
nit? No permit-he gets no finan-
cial aid. The best of the plan is that
it works"
This testimony has convinced the
local directors more strongly than
ever that the Douglas special ad-
vertising committee is a good thing
and that it is going to fulfill an in
creasingly worthy purpose in the
community. There are hundreds of
other cities in the country who also
report favorable accomplishments by
similar committees.

Stock prices started upward at a
brisk pace soon after the opening
of todays market and then crashed
with startling suddenness when an
other selling movement engulfed the
general list, sweeping nearly 800 is
sues to new low levels for the year.
Both the rail and industrial averages
were forced into new low ground.
Trading was in enormous volume,
the days sales totaling 3,317,7O0
shares, making the third time this
year that the three million share
mark had been crossed.
The decline was not associated
with anything in the days news, al
though a reduction in copper prices
undoubtedly stimulated the selling of
those shares. The fresh outpouring
of stocks was, however, accompanied
by the usual unfavorable rumors re-
garding the financial stability of in
dividuals and firms, but they lacked
confirmation and little attention was
paid to them in responsible banking
quarters.
The morning rebound had inspired
confidence in some quarters that
powerful banking interests, who ap-
parent1y had been allowing the mar
ket to run it's course through three
successive weeks of declining prices,
finally had come to the support of
high grade investment stocks. EARLY
gains ran from 1 to nearly points
in scores of issues, with short cover
ing operations furnishing much of
the buying power.
Large blocks of stocks were being
offered on the rally, but they were
being steadily absorbed when bear
traders launched savage attack on

STOCK MARKET
STACCERS WHEN
PRICES CRASH
An nisnnteh \. T Wirel

NEW YORK, March 30.-The stock
market, staggering under the ham
! mering of three successive weeks of
liquidation, which has carried scores
, of issues 90 to 100 points below their
high levels of the year was dealt
another crushing blow today when a
renewed outbreak of selling swept
25S issues to new low levels for the
year and sent 20 others to their pre-
vious minimum quotations. Trading
was in enormous volume, the days
sales aggregating 3,317,70O shares, as
compared with 3,7S5,7OO in the rec
ord breaking session of March 3, and
3,O15,700 on the day before.
At the close of the market to-
night, the average of 20 leading in
dustrial issues were nearly 23 points
below the years high established on
February IL, while the average of
20 leading railroad issues was down
IL points. 1t is estimated that the
reaction this month has wiped out
between $5,O00OOO,00O and $10,OO0,-
900, 900 in the quoted value of the Sc
curities lists on the exchange. In
one month the market has more than
cancelled the gain of the six preced-
ing months.
Organized banking support made
it's appearance for a few high grade
industrial issues, which sent prices of
scores of issues bounding upward l
to nearly s points
Powerful financial forces showed
little disposition, however, to follow
up the advantage apparently being
content to support few issues in
which they were primarily inter-
ested.
The rank and file of Wall street is
plainly mystified as to what is be-
hind the selling movement.
While speculation for the rise un,
duestionably had been overdone in
the wild orgy of buying last fall and
winter, there is growing impression
in Wall street. that the decline rep
resents something more than cor
rection of a weakened speculative
position, but no one appears to be
able, or willing to tell what it is.
While bankers decline to be quoted,
however, most of them privately ex-
press the opinion that business con-
01ClOnS are SOOlAN, otNo
that the reaction of stocks is not a
forecast of any sustained period Of
business depression.
1t is generally conceded that the
break in stocks has had a tempo
rarily depressing psychological effect
on business. Tt undoubtedly has held
up millions of dollars of stock fl
nancing, delayed the completion of
pending mergers and resulted in the
postponement of several other bust
ness projects. 1t was reported to-
night that several bankers who had
booked reservations for Europe with
in the next two months, were pre-
pairing to cancel them until stability
had returned to the market.

quotations on wheat were firm, &c
to 15sc net higher, May (new) $1.59b
to $1599s and July S1.36ss to $1.36h,
with cor 5sc to 1c up, oats at 1ac
to 1c advance, and provisions vary
ing from &c decline to a rise of SC.
Final prices in wheat market were
at virtually the days topmost level,
and after transient setback had
occurred about midday when New
York security values were showing
acute weakness, and eastern selling
of wheat was temporarily a factor.
1t quickly became apparent, how
ever, that mills were taking advan-
tage of easing of prices in the wheat
market and had paid &c a bushel
over the price of May delivery here
for a round lot of No. 2 wheat in
store here. Gossip was also currens
that $4,000 bushels of new crops win
ter wheat had been sold to exporters
for last half of August shipment at
SIC over the September price. I'M
der such circumstances selling of fu-
ture deliveries of wheat came to a
sudden halt, and traders who were
short Of wheat made haste to even
up their accounts, especially as prices
in other domestic markets are out
of line to permit profitable ship
ments of wheat to Chicago.
Almost from the outset, the general
trend of wheat values was upgrade.
Widespread snow and rain, highly
beneficial to the new crop of do
nestle winter wheat, had only pass
ing effect in carrying the market
lower for July and September deliv-
cries. Commission house buying of
May soon reversed the action of the
market as a whole and throughout
the rest of the day. except for
brief interval before the closing hour
the upward movement of wheat val
ues was at no time greatly impeded.
Buying was helped by an opinion
from a trade authority that supply
and demand conditions for old call
culations based on the new crop out
look in March are unwise. Consid-
erable notice was also taken of q
decrease of 5,S1O,OO0 bushels of wheat
this week in the worlds available
supply.
Spurred by the action of wheat,
previous sellers became active buyers
of corn and oats futures late in the
day. Rough weather was also q
bullish influence and so too was
smallness of receipts here, 92 cars

Provisions were steadied by adj
vances in both hog values and in

Weekly Copper Review

Alfred James, a prominent mining
man of London, England, who has
been looking over the copper mines
of this country, recently stated, The
world is producing more copper than
it can absorb so the copper people
must get together exactly the same
way as the rubber people got to-
gether in Malay and the diamond
people got together in South Af.

standing example. Diamonds W l!l1
not be worth much more than broken
glass but for that combination. TO
go against the law of supply and de-
mand is just like brushing water up
hill. Therefore, the copper people
must get together and regulate pro-
duction by the absorption capacity

The continued rise in the surplus
stocks of copper and the moderate
! demand has undoubtedly been re
! sponsible for the sliding off of the
! price during the past week to the
| IA cent mark. While copper demand
| is good, it is in smaller lots and
there seems to be little inclination
on the part of the fabricators, to do
any stocking themselves as against
their spring requirements.
There is nothing alarming, Of
| course, in the fact that the surplus
stocks of refined copper have Deen
increased as the increases have not
been in alarming jumps, but there
has been a steady increase for a
number of months. The figure ON
March / was 96,3554 tons as against
81.686 tons at the beginning Of Feb
ruary and 1902 tons at the begin
ming of the year. The low point
was 69,007 tons at the end of the
third quarter of last year.
This surplus is insignificant as
compared with the requirements Of
the world when it is understood that
the world is consuming copper at
the rate of about 10000 tons per
month, but the trend of surplus has
been upwards land that keeping the
buyers from the market.
1t has been very evident that the
producers of copper figured that they
were overproducing again during the
latter part of last year when the
world production ran 142,200 tons,
1876, 400 tons and 135,800 tons for the
months of October, November and
December respectively. At this same
time there was a slight but gradual
increase in the surplus stocks of cop
per.
During January the world produc-
tion ran 133,5OO tons and in Febru
ary another drop of 10000 tons
This reduction in production since
October of last year, the high month
was not from any one part of the
world, but was generally scattered
about in the correct proportion.
The United States production drop
ped from S2,S39 tons in October to
IS, 632 in February, Chilli and Peru
dropped from 23,182 tons to 21,934
in the same period, Belgian Congo,
(Katanga) from 1855 tons to 6S23
tons, these three places accounting
for the bulk of the worlds produc-
tion.
The monthly average for 1923 was
for the two months of 1926, 127,-
500 tons. During 1923 and 1929
the surplus dropped and continued
to drop until the middle of 1925.
Since that time there has been u
slight rise in the surplus and the
production has been decreasing in
order to maintain the equilibrium de-
sired in the market.
That the condition of stabilization
is being followed and practiced is
evident from the statistics, and the
most pleasing thing about it is chat
it is being adhered to all over the
world rather than having one sec
tion of the world take the brunt of
the curtailment.
