CURB ISSUES SHOW
IRREGULAR TREND

BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, october 14.-After
opening actively and weak today as a
result of the week end accumulation of
selling orders the curb market slowed
and steadied as trading progressed.
Absence of large or punched sales,
however. did not bring about more than
sporadic rallies or a sembIance of stabil
ization.

decline before swapping up to 55A

the noon hour. -.
oil securities had to contend with
trade news as we'll as general market
developments. Some Midwest refln-
cries cut crude prices as California re-
ported an increased output and pipe

Humble Oil & Refining, Imperial OH
Of Canada, which also Is a Standard
Oil of New Jersey subsidiary, and some
other marketing, refining and producing
companies broke to new lows for the
year on fractional declines. Indiana
Pipe Line was the first of that group to
record a new low level.
Selling of motor shares in the fore
noon was not nearly so brisk as in
recent sessions, which may have been
due to the fact that the industry, from
preliminary reports, shows September
sales at approximately the same level
as those of August. Paramount Cab

STAUNTON, Va, October 1.-THE
resignation Of Columbus Halle as presi-
dent of the Missouri Kansas-Texa
Railroad lines was recently announced
in railroad and financial circles. Mr..
Halle, who Is past 10 years OF age, VIII

PRICE CUTTING HELD
BLOW AT RETAILERS
Drug Firm Official Declares for
Fair Value and Profit
Policy.

American retailers are seriously I'm
peding their own progress by ruthless
and indiscriminate price-cutting, VIII
liam H. Gesell told officers of the Ma
tional Research Council, gathered here
to discuss various problems In which
the council is interested. Mr.. GeSell Is
vice president of Lehn g. Fink, Inc,
which company Is waging vigorous
war on indiscriminate price cutting in
the retail drug trade and is advocating
a fair-value, fair-proflt policy on the
part of retailers in general.
"Price-cutting Is undermining the
very structure of the retail business"
Mr.. Gesell declared. 1.-THE retailer can
not give service without profit and
he cannot make q profit unless he sells
his merchandise at fair price-fair
to himself as well as to the consumer.
This matter of selling some goods at
cut prices only to make up for the
losses thus entailed by adding an unfair
MAKEUP to other goods is positively
unsound in every way. This practice is
widespread today and must be wiped
out. The consumer must be educated. to
the fact that he benefits most by pay
ing fair price on all goods rather
than by getting a relatively few items
cheaply and paying for it on other
purchases"

PUBLIC HAS REVERSED,
Is OPINION OF STOCKS

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 1.-THE
abrupt change OF opinion as to the
worth of securities Is illustrated In the
general attitude taken q year ago and
that now prevailing toward individual
stocks. In 1929 the public was buying
equities" for what they might yield
in income and what they might pro-
duce in the way Of appreciation i've
years hence. It was willing to accept
returns as low as to per cent in
some cases and to waive all yield in
others.
At present the public Is not willing
to buy these same stocks after q de-
fiation Of as much as so per cent and
an increase In their earning power Of
from so to rs per cent, with the pros
poets Of appreciation that are probable
in the next two years. Its old measure
of values has been abandoned The
new measure adopted is as extreme in
the one direction as 1t was before In
the other.

Since 1921 the United States has re-

from $500, 200, 900 to $3.50, 000, 900 a year

men think the Government would help

necessity Of seeking new sources of
