 HOUR PERIOD

 Coming into the bay the zep- pelin swung directly over the city above Market street while air planes swarmed about her.
 The radio station asked the ships radio operator if he liked the city and the answer came "Ja grossartig", meaning ives very much. The ship went skirt ing the Presidio and, without re- turning to the Golden Gate headed southwest for the coast and apparently intended to fol- low on to Los Angeles. The visit to the city will occupy less thar one hour.

INSULL DROP HAS
 CURBL|STS DOWN
Sharp Break Forces Market to
 Lower Level Today

New York. Aug. - Further sharp breaks in the Insull group of stocks in New York and Chicago to- day depressed practically the entire curb exchange list. Selling was most active in the utility stocks which have made the widest gains in the past few weeks.
 The market opened with moder- ate declines and then turned sharp ly downward only to rally at mid day, reducing the size of the losses. There was little change in the money market.
 Call loans were renewed at 1o, all though a ten per cent rate was re- ported in the outside market Brokerage house advices continue to be of cautionary nature.
 Aluminium Co. broke sharply, but it's subsidiary, Aluminium Limited, was firm. The oils were irregular on q light turnover.
 Gulf gained ground. but Humble sold off. Their stocks were inclined to heaviness.

SHARP EARLY DROP
 ON BOARD CHECKED
Break in Chicago Listings Ac-
 counts for Furry,

New York, Aug. 5 (P)-Easing call money rates checked a sharp decline in today's stock market. Prices Of many active shares were carried down l to 8 points in the morning selling movement, but most of the losses were cut in half, or better, and a sprinkling of issues carried to points above yesterdays final quotations in the early afternoon recovery. Trading was fairly heavy in volume.
 Chicago Break Reason
 Early selling was inspired largely by a further break in middle west ern utilities stocks ou the Chicago stock exchange, the high renewal rate on call loans and predictions Of an increase in the Bank of England rate on Thursday.
 Wall Street recalled that the dis astrous breaks in prices on the NeV York stock exchange in March 1926 and again in the spring of this year were preceded by sharp reactions in Chicago and many traders, fear ing a repetition of those experiences sold stocks heavily.
 The ease with which some of the high grade investment shares melt ed away alarmed timd spectators who were carrying stocks on margin. Strong buying support appeared when the call money rate dropped from 12 to 10 per cent, and funds were loaned in the "outside market as low as per cent
 Business News Good
 There was nothing in the days business news to account for any change in speculative sentiment, as the latest batch of earnings and sales reports continued to make fav- orable comparison with the corres- bonding period year ago. Detroit Edison, which rallied 50 points last week, broke 25 points on a few sales. American Telephone dropped 6 +, but made up all but a fraction of it's loss before the end of the third hour. New York Gen. tral dropped z and quickly rallied 413 and General Electric made up all of it's early drop of 41a points. Chesapeake X Ohio. Allis Chalm- CTS, Standard Gas & Electric, Pacific Telephone, Auburn Auto, North American, Consolidated Gas, Union Pacific American Can, United Air craft, Allied Chemical and A, M. Byers sagged to points beforc sufficient buying support appeared to stem the decline.
 Pool Activity Resumed Meanwhile, pool operations were resumed with increased vigor in a fairly wide assortment of public utility, merchandising. copper. food and motor shares. American Wats" Works was marked up points, Westinghouse Electric first prefer red, May Department stores 4 1-4 Worthington Pump 4 and Mack 1 Trucks, Newport Co, Federal Light t& Traction and Diamond Match 3 to 4 points. Hershey Chocolate crossed 112 to new high. Coppers gathered strength on re- ports of an increased foreign de- mand for the red metal. Anaconda, kennecott and Greene Cananea all selling 8 point or more above yes- | terdays final quotations by early afternoon.

WaH Street Briefs

New York, Aug. LP)-One of the reason for the maintenance of high call money rates several days after the firSt-of- -the-month stringency is said to be the reluctance of banks to lend while their indebtedness to the federal reserve bank is so heavy. Borrowings from the latter institu- tion, to meet the demand for funds, have been large. Bankers expect however, that the call rate will drop by the end of the week and remain fairly steady. Federal reserve pur- chases of government securities and bills, as a means of aiding the credit requirements incident to crop move ments, are also anticipated

STOCKS IRREGULAR j
IN MIXED MARKET
Pressure Reappears Aftera
List Shows Gains in
Early Trading.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSIL,
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, December 30.--Ex-
tensive year-end readjuStment of spec
ulative accounts brought about an ir-
regular price movement In todays
stock market. Prices headed upward at
the opening, but turned heavy around
midday, when fresh selling broke out
IN the copper rubber and merchandise
ing issues. Many Of the early gains of
l 10 ~ points were cut down and sew
eral Of them were converted into net
declines by early afternoon.
This was the last day in which stocks
could be sold the regular way for the
purpose of establishing income tax
losses, ana 1t was apparent that much
OF the days selling was for that reason.
Kennecott was the principal target of
selling pressure in the copper group,
yielding 8 points. Other red-metal
shares received fairly good support. the
maintenance of the 81 annual dividend
on Anaconda and the ability of the pro-
ducers to hold the of1ieial rate for con-
per at IL cents pound having had a
tendency to check liquidation in that
group.
Rubbers we're reactionary. all the Fisk
issues sagging to new low levels for the
year. while United States Rubber first
preferred dropped points and Good
year az.
a. fresh outbreak of selling in Sears
Eoebuck carried that issue down more
than points to 82i2. or Just az points
above the low established in the Nov
em6er break. but it quickly snapped
back above 80.
Call money was Arm at 6 per cent.
with indications that the rate would
not 60 above that level despite the
heavy year-end currency demands. The
time money market was quiet. but a
brisk business was reported in bankers
acceptanceS. with no change In rates.
United States Steel furnished i'm
preSsive leadership in the final hour
and the entire market displayed con-
siderable vitality. Much Of the mid
gay loss was repaired when the shorts
began to buy, pushing up several
favorites to the best prices Of the day.
UTILITIES were conspicuous In the re-
bound. International Telephone. Amer
