Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, October 18.-Further
weakness in the stock is anticipated in
today's brokerage house advices, many
of which call attention to recent "arti-
fetal methods" of restricting short sell
ing through high loaning rates. Com
ments follow:
Otis g. Co.: "The market needs strong
support Immediately to prevent further
material decline"
Winthrop, Mitchell g. Co.: Further
liquidation apparently Is in store for the
market, although distress selling has
passed for the time being, and the vari-
Gus disturbing financial rumors have
been effectively squelched. Po-
litical considerations are being more
and more stressed in market discus
sions at present"
Bask & walbridge: "At this stage in
the period of depression 1t is time to
guard against -bearishness, just as
there is danger in becoming too opti-
inistic toward the last Of period Of
prosperity"
Hamershlag, Borg & Co: 1--WE believe
that bank loans on collateral will con-
tinue to be an important market fac
tor"
jackson Bros, Boesel 81 Co.: cit is
now apparent that the easing up in the
Iiquidating movement during the last
few sessions was due to the artificial
restrictions on short selling. We adhere
to the view that the really important
short account has not covered and this
will now serve as the strongest support
ing influence on pronounced weakness. +"

H|GH-GRADE STOCK
LIST SINKS LOWER
Large Offerings Force Mar
ket Down to Record
Low Levels.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 18-Continued
selling of high-grade investment shares
as we'll as speculative issues, both in the
largest volume for short session so far
this month, brought stock market prices
today to a new low average for the gen.
eral list and large numbers of individual
issues to lows for the year.
AS on Friday the supply of long stock
appeared unlimited, with the opinion
prevailing that 1t represented liquidation
Of important accounts.
The market dropped down by easy
stages and at the end of the first half
hour declines ranged from l to points
in active issues. In this period total
transactions amounted to CTS, 900 shares.
or more than double the volume in
previous sessions.
Pressure was again exerted against
such stocks as General Electric, Gen.
eral Motors, Westinghouse Electric,
American Can, Gillette Razor, Consoli-
dated Gas and number of the leading
rails. In the latter list, Baltimore &
Ohio was off points in the first hour,
New York Central 2 and Union
Pacific /.
United States Steel common showed
better resistance to the general trend
than any other leader and this helped
to bring about moderate rally which
ran into the second hour of trading.
The failure of stocks this week to
maintain the rally and to work steadily
lower, until average prices are now be-
low those of last November and by
some measurements about equal to
those of 1927, has unquestionably modi-
fled the views of those who had begun
to feel that market prices and income
yields had reached point where ac-
emulation of stocks should be con-
sidered.
The lack of buying power has led
to a resumption of short selling. This
has also been increased by the suspi-
cion that considerable distressed stock
was again coming on the market.

AVERAGES BELOW 1929.

NEW YORK. October 1s CP).--All of
the recognized averages have now
broken below that Of November. 1929.
This brings them about on a level with
the average in the Autumn of 1927, or
to the point where much of the excess
sive enthusiasm over common stocks
began to develop. In contrast with the
low average duplicating that of 1927
are the earnings by many corporations,
whose stocks have been under pressure,
in excess of both 1927 and 1928.

N1ddlctown, April 21 LR - A ma jority of fraternity men at Wesleyan University have expressed the opin- ion that responsibility in dealing with liquor offenders in the univer- sity should be assumed by fraterni- ties.

SAKE AGAIN WARNS
 SPEEDING DRIVERS
Too Much Recklgsness, Judge Says, Facing Heavy Docket

There are altogether too many reckless and speedy drivers on the highways, causing accidents which are entirely avoidable," Judge M. D. Sake declared in police court today, when several cases of motor vehicle law violations came. before him. He also sounded a warning that the costs of the court may be soon add cd to fines in cases of violation of the boulevard traffic regulations on West Main street, because the stop" signs have been in place long enough for the motoring public to have knowledge of them.
 Joseph Procko, 21, of 1S6 West street, pleaded guilty to the charge of speeding on Oak street and Judge Saxc imposed fine of s10 without costs on recommendation of Prose- cutting Attorney J. G. Woods. Officer Fred L. Wagner testified that 0 truck driven by the young man went north on Oak street, near Lasalle street, Saturday forenoon, so fast he was unable to decipher the letter. ing on the side, and when signalled to stop, Procko applied the brakes and went fully 30 feet, releasing the brakes and going farther into the gutter.
 Judge Saxe, after making his as- sertion about speedy and reckless driving, warned Procko that he will become involved in serious difficulty if he fails to benefit by Saturdays s experience.
 Woman in Auto Screams
 Loren Clary. "A, of 45S Main street, pleaded guilty to the charge of driving without license and was fined $10 and costs. Officers Tierney and Brophy, answering a complaint by John kulper of 39 Cabot street about ? o'clock yesterday morning that there was woman screaming. found Clary in car with a female companion.

New Britain herald., 1930-04-21

that he had record for motor ve- hicle law violations. Officer F. A. Peterson testified that he was re- turning from the aviation field yes- terday and saw Laskarzewski pull away at the same time. Going along Osgood avenue, Laskarzewski's car swayed from side to side in such a way that the officer thought the driver had been drinking, so he put after him at the rate of 40 miles an hour and could not catch him.
 Some time later, the officer was on Pennington avenue when he heard the brakes of car screech and he thought someone had been struck, so he went to investigate and was surprised to find Laskarzewski at the wheel.
 Laskarzewski denied that he was speeding and attributed the sway ing of his car to the rough condi- tion of the road. Officer Peterson was close enough to him to try to pass, Laskarzewski contended, but instead of keeping behind him he turned off in another direction. On Pennington avenue where the brakes screeched, Laskarzewski stopped at a signal from a friend, but there was no accident, he said.
