j. Carson Anderson, president of the
American Manganese Producers Associ-
alton, traced briefly the recent trend in
the manganese industry He cited the
tariff Of l cent per pound on metallic
manganese and pointed out that the

benefication. This development, he said,
MAD brought about an increase in the
production of high-grade ores in the

Mr.. Anderson said that manganese
imports from Russia have increased

of American imports, in 1922 to $50, 900
tons, or approximately so per cent of
the total import, in 1929. According to
past costs and the statements and rec
ords Of Soviet authorities, he continued.
Soviet manganese ore delivered at At

CHARLOTTE, N. c., April l8.-Sup-
port of the North Carolina Republican
party was pledged in its State conven-
fion Yesterday to Judge John j. Parker
of Charlotte, nominee, as justice OF
the Supreme Court.
A resolution, offered by Stuart

I'VE sincerely deplore the efforts be-

firmation by men unfamiliar with MS
character and public service on grounds
which, to us who know him, are wholly
unjust. Innate devotion to the Con-

end of preserving and handing down
to future generations those sacred IN
stitutions created for us and for our
posterity by the sacrifices OF our an
cestors.''

 SiStanCe Than Yesterday

New York, Oct. 30 P>-Curb stocks continued to move slowly downward today. In some instances tho extreme decline was a little wider than yesterday, for the bears found slightly less resistance, par ticularly in the utilities and oils.
 Trading was largely of a profess sional nature. Shorts were encour- aEed by the heaviness that domin- ated the list yesterday, but neverthe- less showed considerable caution in extending their lines, evidently in the belief that only small liquida- tion could be brought out at cur rent prices.
 American S: Foreign Power war rants proved q soft spot, dropping more than points, while American Gas X Electric went through one of it's wide swings. losing several points. Electric Bond t& Share found good support below 55, and together with United Light "A" middle west utilities and Associated Gas "A, held it's decline to around a pOlnl. AluerlCan SupefpOWef was steady.

Sharp Decline In Beverage Stock
 Attributed to Belief That Beers
 Return Would Lower Their Value
Traders Willing to Turn Bearish On Slightest Pretext Following the Earlier Bull Defeat.

New York. Oct 30 LA9 - Share prices again sank lower in a languid stock market today, as Wall street was inclined 10 restrained bearish- ness.
 Little stock was offered for sale, but after the meagre success on the bull side earlier in the week, trad CTS were willing to turn bearish on almost any preteXt. An abrupt de- cline in some of the beverage stocks was attributed by financial news tickers to the belief that they would be adversely influenced should the campaign for the return of Iegalized beer prove successful.
 Coca Cola was an outstanding soft spot, dropping 13 points, and Canada Dry and White Rock were also carried lower. It was pointed out in brokerage circles that Coca 1 Cola had not declined proportion- ately with the rest of the list, and had thus been left in a vulnerable position. Eastman Kodak was again , under pressure, losing more than 6.
 
 Telephone, and American and For. ! eign Power lost 3 or more. while issues declining or more included l.. $. Steel, Bethlehem, Internal tional Harvester, and Union Carbide. Some of the independent steels, including Crucible, Ludlum and Newton, reached new lows, as did United Air craft. Gillette and Checker Cab. Radio sagged to it's previous low at 20.
 There was little in the days news | to influence the market, which seemed to be largely governed by widespread Encouragement over its f, inability to rise for more than two successive days. The small volu1n. of general liquidation, nevertheless, had convinced many traders that the market was thoroughly sold out, ana cal rebound has caused some confu- sion in the minds of traders who eX- pected it to follow it's well known patterns. Bearishness was decided ly not aggressive. Some of the large operators recently active in the short side did not participate in the selling.
 News PeSsimiStic
 Such news as appeared, however, was none too cheerful. Weakness of the smaller steel company shares was attributable to September quar- ter earnings statements by Newton and Otis. showing small deficits for the period.
 Reduction in the quarterly divi- dends of Packard Motor and Inter- national Silver, and omission of the Franklin preferred payment, were items in the news which had been greatly expected, although they served to intensity the gloom in speculative quarters.
 The building statistics for the week ended October 24 showed q decline in volume of all classes, al though residential building held up total contracts of S59,724,400 for the 37 states east of the Rockies, against sS3,SS2,9OO in the previous week.
 Call money was offered in the outside market as low as 1 per cent, and the demand was negligible. The official rate, however. remained begged at 2, presumably on the i theory that lower figure would cause withdrawals from out of town.

 United States governments had a rest after their sharp rally of yes terday and were quoted at or only slightly below the peak level of the year. The tone of tho foreign list was firm.
