Vigorous Activity Against Il

New York. Nov. lG P-The boot leg football, hanc of the life of grid iron officials the latter part of last season. apparently has vanished from the earth as a result of vigor- GUS activity against it, reports l., K Hall, chairman of the national foot ball rules committee.
 Not a single instances of use of the bootleg football has come to my attention this year. said Hall.
 Tt looks as though We nipped it in the bud when we nailed it at the source a few months ago by warn ing all manufacturers and by making our specifications for the official ball more definite" he said.
 "The illegal balls that made their appearance in considerable numbers late last season were designed pli- marily to aid in passing. According ly they were made with a pro- nounced "snout" on which the passcr could get a grip. But this season We have had no more reports of q sales man approaching a coach with his wares and announcing, I see you have q good passing team: you had better get one of our special balls designed particularly for passing '
 As 10 the present football rules, Mir. Hail indicated there was little prospect of any but the most minor changes in the actual content of the code. The new tumble rule, he thinks, is hcre b stay.

STOCKS BEING HELD
DESPITE HIGH MONEY
Public Shows Determination to
Retain Securities and
Pay Charges.
DISPATCH to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-The persist
ence with which the public holds its
stocks when it is having to pay the
nine years is one of the remarkable
aspects of the present speculative sit
uation and one on which brokers were
commenting today when the renewal
rate was again posted UP at IA per cent.
Last weeks average rate was IL per
cent, or next to the highest since jan
uary /. Brokers usually charge their
customers from II per cent to l per
cent above the cost to them of their
borrowed money.
A great many people have been TAX
ing money out of the savings banks or
from their checking accounts and buy
ing stocks on margin. Interest on their
savings deposits ranges from 3l5 to 412
per cent in different parts of the coun-
try On checking accounts In the New
York territory the interest rate runs
from per cent to per cent. It is gen.
orally stated that margins at present
average around 40 per cent Some are
as high as so per cent. The difference
is carried on borrowed money.
The return to the holder of many
of the popular industrial stocks. on the
basis of their present prices and divi-
dends, plus rights" IS frequently as
little as az and>a per cent. In some
cases where stocks are selling above
100 there Is no income, as dividends
have not yet been inaugurated. Unless,
therefore, these stocks have a steady
advance from month to month, the
holder who does not own them outright
finds himself Gin the red' when he
comes to check up his brokerage state
ments on the first of each month.
High money rates are traditionally
present In periods of rising stock mar
ketS. They are apt, however, to prevail
at the end of long advance rather
than while this advance is developing.
Stringent money rates have now con-
tinued for over 10 months, with rates
since the FIRST Of this year at a higher
average than any known to the present
generation Of Wall Street operators.
The customer of Stock Exchange house
who went over his books today would
find that 1t had been costing him better
than 10 per cent to carry his securities
since he entered the market after the
break last November, and even more
II he made his first commitments in the
period Of record markets last February
and March.

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN SELLING MOVE
Partial Recovery Follows
Heavy Liquidation as
Money Remains High.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 9.-Today's stock
market consisted of two distinct pc
RODS. In the first half of the session
there was heavy selling, sharp declines
and fairly large volume. The obvious
cause was the continuance of IA per
cent money, which was the renewal
rate.
The second phase was one of recov-
cry, a recovery which did not entirely
wipe out all the early losses, but which
did put up some stocks to show net
gains on the session and did alter the
appearance of the entire list. The rally
followed the drop in money from the
IA per cent renewal rate, first to IL
per cent and then to 10 per cent.
On the afternoon upturn the oils
were prominent, particularly the Stand
ard Oil issues. Consolidated Gas was
another feature on the side of advance.
General Motors was steady all day, only
fractionally under Wednesdays close.
United States Steel was heavy up to the
end.
This was the fourth successive day
on which call loans had been made at
IA per cent That was the rate at the
close on Monday-it was the rate all
Of Tuesday and yesterday and 1t was
the renewal rate this morning. The
time appeared propitious for profess
sional operations for the decline and
they were initiated on large scale.
Stop loss orders were uncovered and
weak holders sold out.
The losses were fairly uniform, al
though the oils resisted better than any
other part of the list. United States
Steel dipped below 100 for the first
time in a month. General Electric,
which had such a spectacular rise yes
terday, was off over z points in mid
morning. General Motors was down
only fractionally, but high-priced spe-
cialties like Union Carbide, or over IL
points, were easily depressed.
An interesting feature was the weak
ness in rails. The car loading state
ment for the week ended April q, pub
lished today, showed total passing the
1000 900 car mark for the second time
in a year and an increase in every class
carried but one over the same week a
year ago. The figures had no effect on
the market, and New York Central.
Union Pacific and Baltimore 81 Ohio
were down points and more.

OIL OUTPUT AGREEMENT,

NEW YORK, May 9 OD.-It is re-
ported in Wall Street that leading oil
producers in Venezuela have reached a
"gentlemen's agreement" to curtail pro-
duction to that of the 1928 level. The
oil trade would greet such a develop
ment as highly important, for Vene-
zuela has become the second largest
oil-producing country in the world, ex-
ceeded only by the United States.
Leading producers in Venezuela are the
Royal Dutch, Gulf Oil and Standards of
Indiana and New Jersey, largely oper-
ating through subsidiaries. Oil officials
declined to make any official comment
on the report.
