STOCKS DEPRESSED
IN STEADY SELLING
Rail List Again Under Sharp
Observation-Disclosures

special DlSpatcn 70 rms 6thT.
NEW YORK, December 9.-Selling
again dominated the stock market to-
day. AS on Monday, liquidation was
position, but the industrials suffered
more or less, although receiving better
support.
The action of the market in the pre-
ceding session brought large selling
orders at the opening today. The sue
cession of new lows in the rails in
creased apprehension over the general
situation and stocks were freely offered
for both accounts.
Buyers were to be found for the rail-
road shares only at price concessions.
The result was another long list Of
new 1880 lows, including Lackawanna,
Baltimore & Ohio, Nickel Plate, Pere
Marquette, Texas g. Pacific, Rock Is
land and Great Northern. The two
supposedly prime investment issues,
Atchison and New York Central, broke
through their old resistance points,
New York Central selling under $3.50 a
share for the first time since 1925. At
today's quotation 1t was down 40 points
from the low of the 1929 panic.
Directors meet for dividend action
Wednesday and are expected to declare
the regular rate.
ObHcE VEGA OpVte'
Other rails under pressure and at new
lows included Southern Railway and
st. Louis-San Francisco among the
issues whose stability of present divi-
dend rates have been questioned, and
Missouri KansaS-Texas, a non-dividend
payer. There is no doubt that the de-
cline in the rails has discounted all
known adverse developments. The un-
certainty is in the amount of forced
liquidation yet to come, not in the value
Of the stocks at present prices.
Two outstandingly weak spots in the
industrial list were Phillips Petroleum
and International Telephone g. Tele-
graph, both Of which made new lows
Drug, Inc, and j. I. Case did the same
Worthington Pump fluctuated ner-

Motors held around the previous close
Bethlehem Steel held we'll also. AS a
matter of fact, Bethlehem has already
declared the regular quarterly dividend
OF $3.50 share, payable February Is,
1881, so that there Is no occasion to
worry about that rate now. With steel
prices stabilized, the stock of the lead
ing independent on a 10 per cent yield
basis ought to meet good buying.
New Lows Recorded.
Led by the rails, the early market
dropped into new low ground in the

Increased interest is being shown lp
the Jerusalem artichOke, both as hu"

a human food it gives pleasant vari-
alton to potatoes and garden roots. IL
has long been known that the Jerusa
lem artichoke stores its carbohydrates
as inSulin instead of starch, and it is
claimed that it may be used by dia-
bette persons to much greater extent
than foods containing an equivalent
amount of starch.

rived from insulin as deXtrOSe or cora
sugar is derived from cornstarch. Le-
vulOse, which is very sweet sugar.
with many potential practical uses in
cookery, has heretofore been found
very difficult to crystalline and is still
made only in small quantities.
Probably the widest use of Jerusa-
lem artichokes for human food at
present is in the form of pickles. But
they may be boiled. baked in the cas-
serOle, fried as chips, or served raw
in thin slices with other vegetables in
salads. In this form they make very
good substitute for the water chest

Famous Burning Spring
of Niagara a Mystery

The Old Burning spring of Niagara
was said to have been discovered by
the Indians 200 years ago. AS time ad-
vanced and the Indians were driven
in the background and the white man
found his way to the shores of the
Niagara, the Old burning spring was
put on exhibition and today it is re-
produced as nearly as possible like
the picture of the old Indian legend.
Considerable trouble was encountered
in analyZing the water, and finally a
French renegade named Kee conceived
the idea of making a wooden pipe,
with a small hole in it, to fit in the
crevice of the rock. partly shutting
off the flow of water and thus caus-
ing the flames TO come up through
the pipe, where the flame was re-
newed on the top. Doctors and chem
lists from all over the world have
analysed this water, which they claim
contains sulphur, magnesia, salt and
iron. These four mixed together will
not burn. 1t is thought there is an
unknown mineral that amalgamates
with the sulphur and magnesia in the
water and causes the light flow of
gas or vapOr
