STOCKS IRREGULAR
AFTER EARLY DROP
Leaders Lose z to 3 Points
Before Selling Pressure
Is Lifted.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, August 1.-The stock
market sank rapidly under mere
feather weight of selling pressure today,
until bulls apparently decided that
timidity in the face of such liquidation
was ridiculous, and by early afternoon
began bidding up a group OF speclaItles,
which turned the entire list upward.
Utilities developed pronounced weak
ness, as bears turned their attention to
this group, on reports of an impending
reduction of around 25 per cent in New
York City electrical rates. Leading IN
dustrials sagged a point or two, but
soon attracted support.
Trading Very Doll.
Trading was about as duh as any ex-
perienced during the past two years
sales during the first two hours falling
close to 100000 shares. Ironically
enough, it was announced that the high
speed tickers, permitting rapid reporting
Of 5000, 900 to $1,000 900 share days, VIII
all be installed by Labor day.
The feeble character Of yesterday
rally was disappointing to the bull fac
ton, but, with many indications that
the recession in business has reached
bottom, bears lacked courage. Traders
generally, however, appear to be await
ing some indications as to the probaDle
scope and duration of the Impending
seasonal expansion of business before
committing themselves very extensively
to higher prices
The days business news continued OF
an inconclusive but mildly cheerful
character The National City Bank In
its monthly survey found consumption
oyertaking production. It pointed to
the AGRICULTURAL situation as the out
standing sore spot, but explained that
excessive farm production probably
would be nil If the buying power OF mil
lions now in want in the world could
be improved by better trade.
Wall Street found the analysis OF the
steel situation by President Grace OF
Bethlehem reaSSuring, but not OF bull
ish import, for in saying things looked
little better, he frankly added, Very
little" The earnings statement OF
Crosley Radio. showing net loss OF ap-
proximately 100000 in the first half,
gave an Indication of the difficulties
which the radio industry has weathered.
Reserve Statement.
Despite settlements at the turn of the
month aggregating about 100000, 600,
the weekly Federal Reserve statement
showing reduction of about $4,000, 900
in outstanding credit and the shipment
of $40, o00, 900 in gold to France, making
total exports recently of more than
$50 100000, credit continued fairly
plentiful, with call money holding Of
ficially at per cent. Outside offerings
at Ia, however, were soon exhausted.
In the utility group, Brooklyn Union
Gas, Consolidated Gas. North American,
American Power Light and American
Water Works lost about to points,
touching new lows for the latest decline.
There seemed to be some fear that the
proposed rate reduction in New York
might be signal for similar develop
ments elsewhere.
United States Steel, American Can,
westinghouse and Vanadium lost 2
points or so, but rallied by afternoon.
The American tobacco issues were
strong, the old stocks gaining points
or so.

LOUISVILLE, Kentucky, May 19 Champions every foot of the way, Earl Sande and Gallant Fox proved an unbeatable combination last Saturday afternoon by gallop- ing through the rain and mud to victory in the Fifty Sixth running classic, the Kentucky Derby.
 Gallant Fox successfully fought off the early challenge of the Ken lucky pride, Tannery, then beat back the last surging rushes of Gallant Knight and the crack Ne do, winning from Gallant Knight by two lengths. Nedo finished third with a rush but a length and a half behind Gallant Knight. Gone Away was fourth. Last in the mon ey position was Crack Brigade, fifth to reach the post.
 Tannery was a dismal disap- pointment and finished eighth
 Gallant Fox pulled down purse of S5O,725. Gallant Knight won $6,OOO, Nedo $3,Ooo and Gone Away S1,O00.
 For the first time in the history of the Derby, the Gold Trophy was presented to the owner of the win ming horse by the titled Englishman whose family name has been borne by the American classic, the Seven- teenth Earl of Derby who travelled 4,0o0 miles to see the race.
 Ride 'em Sande,' was again heard ringing from thousands of turfdom's throats at Churchill Downs. But that cry, which found it's echo reverberating from every nook and corner of the country, was not for Sande alone. For be- heath the legs of the jockey, who thrilled America's racing population for a decade, was Gallant Fox, the future book favorite carrying the silks of William Woodwards Belair Stud.
 When Gallant Fox, leading the laundering herd, flashed by the judges stand, it was Sandes third Kentucky Derby victory in seven years.

One for the Summer

EOR an afternoons outing the de-
Il stroyer was an aniable craft.
It is true that even in a playful
swell she gave ground to the waves
and pitched and tossed at the
slightest suggestion.
But this motion was not beyond
the bounds of endurance. Tt was
even sedative. Give me-most any
time-the spray and spume of open
water, a hammock down below, a
cup race and a good book.
Two things about the last joust
I remember with pleasure, Among
the trim craft assembled for the
race there wheezed along an old
excursion boat crammed to the gun
wales with spectators shipped at
81 head. And this member of the
feet identified as the 'poletari-
yacht" And I still think it's good
pun.
But my greatest triumph consist
ed Of the vivid and convincing story
which I wrote about the last days
race, which was the one I did not
see.
My circumstances that summer

course laid out for the yachts some
times took them within few hun

Under such circumstances it is
possible to inhale enough wood al

Unfortunately, the treatment Of
wood alcohol poisoning is not espe-
cially successful. When the blindness
starts, not much can be done to
stop it.
For the general symptoms it is
customary to clean out the system,
to put the patient at rest, to give
alkalis to overcome the acid condi-
ton produced, and to try to sus-
tain the patient until his system
can get rid of the poison and re-
cover.
It has been the history Of modern
industry that it introduces new haz-
ards and takes no steps to control
them until accidents and deaths
have occurred.
That has been the history of the
introduction of ethyl gas ard of re-
frigeration gases. What is going to
be done about controlling synthetic
wood alcohol?
