MARKET WEAK AS COTTON RALLIES
Government Crop Report Re.
 SponSible for Latter

New York. Aug CT-The stock
 market turned decidedly reactionary
 today on heavy selling for both &C.,
 counts. selling pressure was most ef- fective against high priced indus 1 trials. several of which broke 4 to
 points. Rails yielded with the in
 dustrials although the losses were
 not as large.
 The weakness of the stock mar ket contrasted with the strength Of ! the cotton market, which advanced $10 a bale on publication of a bullish
 government crop report. showing
 prospective yield about one million
 bushels less than expected.
 In the absence of any definite news developments, the selling of stocks was construed as further
 correction of weakened technical position. Despite rumors of a sub
 stantial extra distribution to stock
 holders, >DuPont broke more than s
 points and General Motors 1. Col lins &s Aikman. Timken Roller Bear
 ing. International Harvester. Case Threshing. General Railway Signal.
 Houston Oil, U. $. Cast Iron Pipe and Manhattan Electrical Supply all sold down or more points.
 A few issues moved against the current trend. Bethlehem Steel crossed 60 to a new 1927 peak on
 buying influenced by the belief that the company would profit through the expected increase in naval ton mage as result of the failure of the Geneva naval conference to reach an agreement. International Nickel and Congoleum also showed evi-
 dences of strength.
 After an early period Of hesitancy,
 the Stock Market turned reaction ary when some of the recent indus
 trial leaders were supplied in large
 volume. Dupont quickly sold down points, U. s. Steel common md General Motors sagged a point or
 more above Saturdays final quota
 tions, and early gains of a point or
 so In dozens of other industrials 1 were cut down, or wiped out alto gether There was nothing Tn the
 news over the weekend to account for the selling. which appeared to
 represent further correction of the top-heavy speculative position devel- oped in three weeks of almost steadily rising prices. Pathe A ssnk
 to a new low at 31. Foreign ex-
 changes opened irregular with de-
 mand sterling quoted around
 s4.S5 5-s and French francs just above 391 F cents.
 The early market showed a repe- tition of the recent nasty unloading of special stocks which in turn caused more extensive offering of the general list. DuPont went down s 1-2. Collins and Aikman 3-4, and Union Carbide. Houston Oil, General Railway Signal, Timken Roller Bearing and Manhattan Elec- trical supply 3 l.. to 4 1-2. Losses in railroads ran from to points. Marking up of Bethlehem Steel over points to 50 3-4. the highest since 1928, when 1t sold at 70. had steadying influence around midday. The renewal rate for call loans was unchanged at S-4 per cent.

 Cappellini said that Sacco and Vanzetti had the sympathy of the mine workers and that everything in their power had been done to help. To suspend operations would be>a direct violation of the existing agreement between miners and operators, Cappellini avowed.

Telegram to Coolidge

A telegram to President Coolidge urging him to ask Gov. Alvan T. Fuller to halt the execution while the chief executive investigate the case was dispatched by the Sacco- Vanzetti defense committee shortly after the close of a busy Sunday which saw several spectacular moves.
 It called upon President Coolidge ito consider this momentous situa- ton most carefully" and. referring to the files of the department of jus tice which 1t has been the contention of the committee would reveal col fusion between the prosecution and the federal government. declared that these would explain the con- duct of the condemned men when arrested. It has been claimed for sacco and Vanzetti that the "con- sciousness of guilt" exhibited at the time of their arrest was, in reality a fear of deportation for radical af- filiation.
 Other highlights of a day fraught with action included the dispersal on Boston Common of two meetings at which speakers had sought to ad- dress large crowds in behalf Of the condemned men. and call for national march on Boston" by 1OO,- 900 leaders in letters, sciences, art. education and social reform
 These the committee said would wear black arm bands and peaceful ly picket the state prison at the hour of execution and come armed with inextinguishable faith that Sacco and Vanzetti must live.'
 Another development of the day was police announcement that an attempt apparently had been made to enter the home of Justice George A. Sanderson of the state supreme court at Cambridge.
 One apartment had been entered, but money and valuables left un- touched while four others in the building bore Jimmy" marks OH their doors. The justices home was not so marked but authorities point ed out that his name is not on the DIllul1le ull CNtolS, lllhASeiNiio o IVY lief that those responsible might have been attempting to locate his place by trial and error method.
 Despite other developments. at- tention today remained largely riveted on the sweeping opinion of Gov. Tuller's advisory committee which. summing up an investiga- ton into the case which closely paralleled that of the chief execu- tive, was in full accord with the governors own decision not to grant clemcncy to the two men.
 The opinion held that the men had a fair trial. that although Judge Thayer had been guilty of "a grave breach of official decorum, he had not been prejudiced during the trial. and that none of the new evil dence offered by the defense was of sufficient weight to warrant a new trial or to rouse reasonable doubt of the fairness of conviction.
 The confession of Celestino Ma deiros, duplicating himself in the Hluluei, "dS pIdilueu as "otlHieSs' and little credence was put in the slayer's story of the crime. Ma deiros is scheduled to go to the chair the same time as Sacco and Vanzetti for another murder.
 In the meantime, the condemned men continued their hunger strike. It was Sacco's cSrd day but Vanzetti has eaten irregularly. The health of neither man has been affected as yet.

Call A Hour Strike

 cola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti continued to stir the public of France today. The newspapers print long dispatches from America relat- ing every phase of the situation.
 Apparently satisfied with yester- days monster demonstration in Paris in behalf of the condemned men. the Sacco-Vanzetti defense committee is seeking to make no further public manifestation, but the communication organization called ! z4-hour strike for today. which vas expected to be extremely limit ed, affecting principally taximen and those working in the building trades. The communists also arranged a protest meeting to be held in a hall on the left bank of the Seine tonight.
 Emile Loubet, former president of France, has cabled an ardent ap- peal to Governor Fuller of Massa- chusetts in favor of Sacco and Van. zetti.
 Yesterdays demonstration was held in the Bois De Vincennes. on the outskirts of Paris, the govern- ment having banned any manifesto ton inside the capital gates. The parade was led by Luigia Vanzetti. sister of one of the condemned men, who is contemplating a visit to America to see her brother.
 She carried a banner. on one side of which was inscribed the appeal: "Parisian people, save my brother and Sacco. Thanks" On the other were the words: People of France, the lives of my brother and Sacco are in your hands,
 A number of the banners were or dered destroyed by the police. who considered them too insulting to the United States. Others read: Jus tice! Justice! They are innocent And Justice! Sacco and Vanzetti were condemned to electrocution be- cause they were friends of the peo- pie. Save them"'
 The demonstration was quiet and orderly and by six o'clock in the evening the marchers had all re- turned to the city.
