UNCERTAIN STOCK

Market Reacts at Start, Raj

NEW YORK, December 13.-With call
money at per cent, lowest in four
weeks. the stock market had the dullest
day since election. There was an out
ourst OF selling in the first hour, but
when that subsidized, after having car
ried prices off sharply, the market ral-
lied and activity dropped to minimum
International Nickel starred with an
advance to new high record for all
time; public utilities were in good de-
mand, and one or two specialties strong,
among them Burroughs Adding Ma
chine. On the other hand, Houston Oil
broke over IL points to a new low for,
the year, and this on top of large de-
cl1neS in the two preceding sessions.
Money renewed at 8 per cent, went
to 712 per cent at noon, to 7 per cent
in the fourth hour and finally to 6 per
cent.
The early selling was in large volume
and carried the quotations down easily.
In some instances the lows of last
weeks reaction were broken through.
General Motors, below 1856, was under
seen in the big break Friday
and Saturday U. S. Steel approached
its former low movement. General
EiecJrlc was DOWN points at one
time and Johns-M -Manville lost ground
For the most part the declines were
the result of concern over the action
of the market at the close yesterday
They seemed to have little connection
with the, news, although increasing
competition in the automobile trade
might have accounted for the liquida-
tion in General Motors. More impor-
tant was the nervousness of traders
over a possible secondary reaction.
The selling dried up after an hour
or so and activity fell to minimum.
At times the ticket came to dead halt.
Leading industrials recovered most of
their early loss. but did not show much
disposition to push ahead.

IN MENTAL DISEASE
House Committee Is Told of
Requirements Throughout

"The tremendous demand for well
trained psychiatrists over the country
was brought home to members of the
House appropriations subcommittee
dealing with items concerning st. Eliza

ment supply bill. when Monte Sanger
assistant to the superintendent advised
them that there are only 1000 pfy-
sicians in the United States thoroughly
trained in psychiatry. although half OF
the patients in the Nations hospitals
are mental cases.
In the hearings on the supply bill
made public yesterday Mr. Sanger de-
clared: The number of physicians in
the country today is 10000. Only
2,000 of these are thoroughly familiar
with pSychiatry. There are 100000
beds in all the hospitals Of the coun-
try. Four hundred thousand of these
are in mental disease hospitals. You
can readily understand what demand
there is for physicians who are well
grounded in pSychiatry. when there are
only 1000 of that class to take care
of patients in half of the beds of all
the hospitals of the country"
Dr. William A. White. the Superin-
tendent, said that st. Elizabeths Hos
pital has lost 70 physicians, members
of it's staff since 1924. and z since
last June. and that social workers and

 STORAGE PLANTS; FED

It is the purpose of certain fox ranchers on the Kusilof river area to erect three modern cold storage plants in which to keep the special ly prepared fox feed throughout the long summer days. This will assure the animals fresh, eatable food at all times. It was pointed out that forag- ing about for wild game for the fox now takes up valuable time and is cheaper to import the feed.
 In fact, it was said, the ranchers can, with the building of the cold storage plants, double the capacity of their ranches by not chasing porcu- hines for feed but devoting the hunt ing time to the care of the foxes.
