WHEAT AVERAGES LOWER.

CHICAGO, May % GP).-Wheat prices
averaged lower here today, largely as a
result of comparative weakness of the

slackness of export demand. However,

FURTHER PRESSURE
HITS CURB SHARES
Market Irregular Despite Raj
lies in Utilities and
Other Issues.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 23.-After a ner-
Vous opening, due to liquidation of spec
ulative margins weakened by yesterdays
break, an irregular, half-hearted recov-
cry set In on the Curb Exchange to-
day.
Certain stocks .allied substantially,
but the list as a whole did not make
much Roadway. being subjected at times
to further pressure, as calls for more
margins were disregarded.
Utilities Show Strength.
Utilities showed disposition to rally
most whenever offerings abated. The
Superpower issues lost heavily on the
initial decline, but all retraced their
ground when support was extended.
The one particularly strong issue in this
group was United Gas improvement.
After its remarkable action Wednesday
it added more than 4 points to its ad-
vance, approaching the 200 level. This
was thought to be in response to reports
that a stock bonus and split-up were
imminent. Electric Investors, Electric
Bond g. Share Northeastern Power and
one or two others displayed good recu-
perative powers, but their gains were Of
smaller proportions.
The heaviest losers on the early SELL
ing we're Tubize Silk, down Is; U. s..
Freight, off more than 4; Deere g. Co.,
Libby Owens and Goldman Sachs.
Pressure persisted in the case of the
last named and 1t broke below 100 for
the first time on the movement on ap-
prehension over the effect of the shrink
ege in the value of its investments, due
to the general market collapse. Hay
CART and Trans-America, in the same
class, were still soft, but did not break
so abruptly.
Good support was witnessed In the
aviation stocks, especially those in
which special developments are believed
to be imminent. After some heSitancy
the tone firmed. but the only activity
was centered in National Aviation.
Niles Bement Pond met with a fresh
supply Of offerings.
Mining Group.
The best recoveries in the mining
group were in the high-priced New
mont, and stocks of similar class led
the oils when pressure abated. Gulf
Of Pennsylvania rose several points, but
others fuctuated in narrow limits. A
few low-priced issues in which pools
have been active recently showed fur
ther weakness, notably Intercontinent
Petroleum and Pacific Western, both
making new lows.
Grigsby Grunow was a strong point
in the miscellaneous industrial division,
and Paramount Cab steadied on a re-
port that new group had been formed
to handle the market for the stock. 1t
was also reported that an important
contract was about to be closed for two
thirds of the company'S production. An
increase in the dividend next month is
looked for.

COTTON CLOSES HIGHER.

NEW YORK, May % Especially -
After declining into new low territory
for the season, during which July, De-
cember and January, all sold below
1871 cents, the cotton market developed
more resistance and recovery of 81 a
bale occurred during the afternoon.
Best figures of the day were reached
at the close, with loss of point to
gain of points on the day.
Spots were unchanged at 1870.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS
 SOUGHT IN BERLIN
Numerous Accidents at Danger OuS Corners Cause Discussion
NEW MAIL ROUTE OPENED
Eight Icar-OId Girl Is SaNophonc Player Congregational Women to Give PIay-Showcr for Miss Griffen-Othcr Items.

The accident yesterday afternoon in which Harry Collins was serious ly hurt, has aroused a great deal Of comment regarding the traffic situ- alton at the various danger points in the town. It is pointed out that 'it a traffic light had been in opera .tion at the corner now becoming ,notorlous for accidents yesterday s crash would not have occurred. Up- sons corner has the unenviable rep- utation of being one of the most dangerous corners in this part of the state.
 There are three dangerous cor .ners in the town. It is said that to- 'Gethcr with IpSons corner, Bosto on corners is almost as dangerous. The top Of Galpin's hill and Berlin street IS also another one of the more hazardous points. It is claimed by many that traffic lights would eliminate the danger now prevalent at these three places and would pos Slbiy do away with traffic policemen which at the present time are sta toned at these corners Sundays.
 This question does not fail to come up following each accident on these corners, but some residents have expressed themselves rather freely regarding yesterdays crash. They admit that the town would be 0 n Nf .pcnse to install lights but it is also said that lights if they had been in stalled year ago, would have pre- vented the several fatalities that have taken place during that time.
 A petition will be circulated in town to have lights installed at Up- sons Corner at least, and possibly the other two dangerous corners on Bcrlln street, according to present plans.
