NEW YORK. June 23.-The following
Is today's summary of important cor
poration news, prepared by Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York. for the
Association Press.
Weekly News Review.
Security and commodity markets have
passed through another week of heavy
liquidation and falling prices. Quota
tions on the Stock Exchange fell more
sharply than In any week since the Fall
break. Our 90-stock index, based on
Saturdays closing prices, stands at
1862, q new low for the year and 169
points below the close Of the previous
week. It Is now 11.4 per cent above the
low Of 1929, reached on November l3,
and 241 per cent under the high of
1890, attained on April 10. All groups
comprising the index closed on Satur-
day at new low levels for the year. The
utilities lost 275 points during the week,
but are still SIS points above the 1929
low average. IndustrialS fell 16.7 points
to 1913 points above the low of last
year, while the rail group declined 5.4
points to only 0.9 point above the 1929
low.
On the commodity markets weakness
was also pronounced, prices in a num-
Der of instances falling to pre-war lev
els. The AnnaliSt weekly index of
wholesale prices declined IT per cent
and is 12.l per cent below year ago.
This lowering of commodity values re-
fleets an oversupply of goods in terms of
immediate or potential needs. While
curtailment of output of raw materials
Is under way, progress has not been suf-
ficient to relieve the pressure which
excessive supplies are exerting on values.
Some striking examples of expansion in
stocks are found in the case of wheat,
cotton and sugar. Early in June the
United States and Canadian wheat
supply was 31,568,0o bushels larger
than q year ago, while worlds visible
supply of cotton was 862 900 bales above
1929 and domestic and Cuban sugar
stocks had increased about 100000
tons. Other commodities show even
larger increases. What is believed to be
another obstacle to an immediate re-
versal In trend Is the fact that retail
prices have not yet fully reflected the
adjustments In values of basic products
Substantial reductions have occurred In
many classes of goods whose raw ma
terials have registered especial weak
ness or where competition is unusually
keen, but present evidence indicates re-
tail prices are subject to further down.

Checks, aggregating $90,499, for
Confederate pensions, have just

Although Confederate pensioners
are receiving more money this
year than last, the Christmas in

out, was rot as large as that sent
out for December, 1929, for the
reason that, under a new law,
pensions are now paid monthly,

CONVICT LABOR
|SPROTESTED

HAGERSTOWN, Md, Dec. L.
Replying to a protest from the
Maryland State and District of
Columbia Federation of Labor
concerning the possibility of con-
vict labor being used in the con-
struction OF the new State correc-
tional institution at Roxbury,
Governor Ritchie said he would
do what he could to have skilled
labor given employment.
Governor Ritchie's reply was
read at a meeting here of the
executive co4lmittee Of the fed
Grafton. The federation in a let
ter to the governor said it was
thought in view of the widespread
unemployment that convicts
should not be used as mechanics,
but as helpers or laborers on the
new prison.

MAN WINS CASE
" FROM AGENTS

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. 2.
John Hopkins, "a, colored, whose
appeal that the two Federal pro-
hibition agents with whom he
had a scuffle, seemed to him to
be hi-jackers, found a sympa'
thetic jury yesterday in Circuit
Court, and was found not guilty
of assaulting the men.
Hopkins, who was represented
by Attorneys Thomas Anderson
and Walter Dawson, both OF
Rockville, had previously been
found guilty of the same offenSe
in Police Court.
John T: Weigel and Murray c..
Taylor, the revenue men, told the
court that they were called to
Sandy Spring, November 4, and
upon their arrival asked a col
ored man if they could buy some
whisky.
Hopkins is said to have volun-

and in the excitement the men

Weigel's pistol slipped from his
holster, he said, and the colored
man grabbed it and told them to
stick their hands up.

and director of the New York
Federal Reserve Bank, in a radio

MANY WORKERS NEEDED
 RED GROSS ROLL GALL

AS the Red Cross membership campaign approaches in Seward the need for more workers be- comes apparent. A call for VOL unteers is issued today by Leon ard Hopkins, Roll Call chairman, who is directing the campaign for the Seward Chapter
 In sounding the appeal for additional workers Mr. Hopkins states. .|#
 Tt would be quite possible for the local work of any one of Red Cross Chapters to be financed en- tirely through the generosity of single citizen of that commun- it's. Tit is impossible for the nal ional and international work of the Red Cross to bc thus fin anced. The only financial sup port which any community can give to the national and inter national work of the organization (save at the time of an appeal in a specific disaster emergen- cy) is in the 30 cents remitted to the national organization for each persn who pays his or her membership dues to the chap ter.
