by traders who expected substantial
reaction Many stocks receded sharply
especially those in which pools have
been operating and which have been
among the leaders of the recent rise
Part of these offerings came from those
who had accumulated stock lower down
and a part from the small bear con-
tingent still IN the market. On the
way down, however support was en-

who were still convinced that the mar

The outstanding feature on the side
of advance was United States Steel,
which was taken in enormous blocks
and, crossing 167. reached the highest

Naturally this demonstration steadied

CHANGE IN REVENUES.

BALTIMORE, November 13 (SpeciaD
of special significance in the latest
returns of the Western Maryland Rail-
way is the change in the order of i'm
portance of the company's source of
revenues. Last year Western Maryland
derived most of its freight receipts from
the movement of coal and coke, but in
the first 10 lonths of 1928 more money
was earned from other kinds of freight
than from COAL Just how much the
closer financial relation with the Bal
timore & Ohio may have had to do with
this. If it has had any influence, is not
known.
However. coal and coke contributed
only $6,994,5 ,539 to the company's total
freight revenue in the 10 months, as
against $7,684,311 received from other
sources. In the same period year ago
coal and coke accounted for 50, ,442, ,678
and other freight $7.885.552.

VENTILATION PLANS
MADE FOR CAPITOL
Estimate Submitted Covers
System Giving Pure Air
in Senate and House.

a new ventilatiNg system to improve
atmospheric conditions in the Senate
and House has just been recommended
b. a committee of experts after care
ful study of the problem. and an eSti-
mate 10 provide for the installation was
submitted to the Budget Bureau for ap-
prevail yesterday BY Architect of the

Under the new system air would flow
into the two halls of Congress from the
ceiling and be carried out from outlets

irigeration in Summer and warmed in
Winter. AT all times the air would BE-
c.eansed by the apparatus.

is that the galleries would be ventilated
separately from the floors of the two
legislative chambers.
The question of proper ventilation
OF the Senate and House chambers.

walls o. the Capitol by surrounding
corridors. has been a subject of dis
cussion from time to time for a great
many years. according to those in
charge OF the Capitol Building.

lie Health Service as a result of which
the following committee was appointed:
