MARKET DECLINES BUT COMES BACK
High Money Rates Force Stocks
 Down Today
By Stanley W. Prenosil

By Stanley W. Prenosil
 Associated Press Financial Editor)
 New York, May R-High money rates continued to cast a shadow over today's stock market, which drifted lower under heavy selling for both accounts. Early de- clines ranged from to points. but a partial recovery took place in the afternoon when a large supply of out-of-town funds, attracted by the $ per cent call money renewal rate, began to make it's appearance. Trad ing showed a further contraction in volume, although the ticker was again unable to keep pace with the market.
 Veteran traders recalled that to- day was the anniversary of the Northern Pacific panic" which cul- minated the big bull" movement in 1901. The fact that recent price gyrations closely resembled those which preceded the crash 27 years ago Is believed to have inspired some liquidation by superstitious traders. Fears of an increase In the New York federal reserve bank rediscount rate tomorrow also were factor in the selling movement.
 Termination of the negotiations for a merger of the Coca-Cola and Canada Dry Ginger Ale companies was followed by heavy selling of both stocks the former dropping s1s points and the latter l-4. Rubber shares turned heavy on the prediction Of Harvey s. Firestone that tire prices would be cut within three months, although it was ex- pected that several of the large pro- ducers would be able to work off their high inventories before the cut became effective.
 Sharp declines took place in such recent favorites as General Motors, Radio. General Electric, Interna- tional Telephone and the Airplane stocks. Freeport Texas broke 4 points in further reflection of a poor first quarter report. Heavy profit taking also forced recessions of to 3 points in number of the public utilities.
 Oii shares were adversely affected by another large increase in crude oil production last week and steels were inclined to heaviness on re- ports that commodity prices had developed a softening tendency.
 Pool operations were not entirely abandoned, however. American Bank Note and Lambert were each bid up about 5 points to new high records. and number of other spe- cialties moved up 1 to points.
 Delaware & Hudson broke more than 4 points, presumably in reflec- ton of speculative disappointment over President Loree's failure to an- ! nounce disposition of the $s3,0O0.- i 900 received by the road for its Wabash and Lehigh Valley holdings. New York Central was bid up more than 3 points and was accompanied into new high ground by Wabash, 1 Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Reading.

THE RELIGIOUS ISSUE

The religious issue in the cam
palgn Is not destined to create much
Of rumpus. There is a fine toler-
ance in the makeup Of both major
candidates, assuming Smith will be
one of them.
Smith. OF course. is Catholic.
Hoo, or, Quaker. was married by a
Catholic priest who got permission
from his bishop to do so,
Smith hasn't played religion while
governor OF New York and would
have even less of an opportunity to
do SO in Washington. where Congress
according TO tradition no doubt will
be nine-tenths Protestant.
Hoover, by being married through

In fact, both candidates are fine

NO TROLLEY FOLLY

The trolley operators of the Con-
necticut company will do we'll not to
be deceived by the Establishments
of irresponsible trouble makers who
want to see a strike merely to
further their own peculiar purposes.
A strike is a serious thing and the
men are to be complimented upon
voting again after 1t was found mis-
understandings existed.
Trolleymen in New Britain seem
to be sensible. Those In Hartford
seem to be acquiring some OF this
common sense also, and 1t now can
be hoped that Hartford trolleymen
also will vote against a strike.
If the extremists in New Haven
and Bridgeport refuse to see the
light OF reason they may have
enough votes to bring about two
thirds majority in favor of strike.
but without the assistance of the
upstate trolleymen such an adven-
ture would be even less likely of
success than ordinarily.
The men are entitled to q square
deal and ought to get il. They sure
ly are too good a class of citizens to

tives sit themselves around a table
