TRADING 0N CURB
 DESULTORY AFFAIR
Prices Show Little Inclination Toward Definite Trend

New York, Oct. 16 P-Trading was cautious in a quiet curb mar ket today. Prices backed and filled, showing little inclination toward a definite trend. With virtually the entire list of active issues loaning flat or at premiums after yester- days close, the short interest was equally hesitant about covering or extending it's position.
 Price changes were mostly of a fractional nature. Small losses in Electric Bond & Share, United Light "A" and other prominent utilities suggested a heavy under tone, but rallies followed the reces- sions promptly and the movement of prices was highly irregular.
 Oils eased, although the declines were small. Offerings of Vacuum depressed it fractionally into new low ground for the year. Cities Service, whose months earnings statement showed net income for that period above the entire returns for 1929, was firm. Standard Oil of Kentucky rallied moderately.
 Further covering in the Prince & Whitely Trading Corp. stocks brought gains of a point or so to both the common and preferred shares. 1 Shorts also retreated in Goldman Sachs.
 1 Industrials were unusually dull but steady tone prevailed. Anglo Chilean Nitrate was a heavy spot dipping about a point. Newmont Mining and Insurance Company of North America were among the f1rmer specialties.
 Call money renewed on the curt at 2h per cent.

Diagonal Parking on
 Main Street Proposed

Police commissioners are contem- plating a change in the method of parking automobiles on the west side of Main street, from the South Church corner south along Main street.
 Tentative plans call for trial of the plan that will force drivers to park their machines diagonally from the curb instead of parallel as has been the vogue. Commissioners be- lieve that such a method would allow a greater number of cars be- ing parked in this area than under the old plan.
 They also believe that if the plan iu put into effect that it will dis courage drivers from parking ln double lines at this busy point.

ANTI-RED MOVES 0N YANGTzE RIVER
Steps to Stop Firing on Ships
 Taken

Hankow, Oct. 16 (P)-Steps to combat a renewed outbreak of Red marauders along the Yangtze river were taken today after communist shore batteries had attacked one British and two American vessels. Red cannonaders yesterday fired on the Bee, flagship of the British Yangtze patrol fleet carrying Ad- miral Mclean, commander-in-chlef The Bee was not harmed. Later the same gang fired upon two American commercial vessels and a Chinese ship but none was harmed.
 When the Red battery opened up on the British gunboat Teal the lat ter returned the fire, silencing the attack. The Teal then landed an armed party which captured one cannon-a brass muzzle-loader of doubtful accuracy, which perhaps explains the failure of the Reds to hit passing steamers.
 British and Japanese authorities | decided to maintain one gunboat each at Changsha, Human, despite the low water there in the Slang river. This means the vessels as signed to Chcngsha will be isolated until the rise in the river next spring, as the stream is not naviga- ble during the low water period. The persistence of another communist threat against Changsha caused the British and Japanese to take this step.
 American authorities, it was un- derstood, decided to station a gun 1 boat at Yochow, at the head of Tungting lake, not wishing to risk sending a vessels to Changsha dur ing the low water period.
 Advices from various Yangtze | ports indicated the nationalist gov ernment was moving rapidly ahead with projected large scale anti-ban- dit, anti-communist campaign. Sev- eral thousand troops already had reached river points from Honan province and were on their way to kiangsi' province, where the Red menace is considered the worst.
 Kiukiang reports said many for eigners and Chinese had fled there from Nanchang, capital of kiangsi, and were awaiting developments A
 large army of Reds was reported to have encircled Nanchang recently.

 Fear for Pliers Life
 The territory in which the army flier crashed is rough and hazardous for landing.
 The ground is covered with sage brush and is rolling. Two planes were sent from Cheyenne to learn Caldwells fate. The ships were pill oted by John Cabler and Pilot Boyd.
 Officials were fearful Caldwell lost his life because of the fact they had not heard from him although he crashed near farms where tele- phone communication was avail able.
 The searching ships began their aerial hunt at 6:S0 a. m. and after Meskimen reported his discovery, the radio station began efforts to communicate with the pilots. Con- tact was made with John Cabler who was given the location of Cald- wells plane.
 Cabler was instructed to fly to Cheyenne as soon as he had jnvesti- gated the crash. Meskimen's obser- vation was that Caldwell apparent ly died in the crash. Meskimen was flying low and was. unable to sight the army aviator.

Share Prices Drift Moderately Lower In Sluggish Market Today
 With Readjustments Completed
Most Selling Regarded as Profit Taking On Pur- chases at Low Levels.

New York, Oct. 16 LP - Share prices drifted moderately lower in a sluggish market today, as readjust- ments from last weeks convulsions seemed to have been completed, and Wall street enjoyed a breathing spell.
 Declines of to points were re- corded in such issues as General Electric, L. & Steel, Westinghouse Electric, Air Reduction. Allied Chemical, Johns Manville, American Telephone, American Can and East man, but the decline was checked by early afternoon, and these losses were moderately reduced. Gillette was a strong feature, making an eX- treme gain of more than ' points, and Warner Bros. and Consolidated Film industries gained about two points each.
 Pressure against General Motors for a time during the morning was little unsettling, but extensive sell ing caused decline of only 1 1-4 points, and the stock then recovered somewhat. It was said in brokerage circles that the selling merely rep resented the liquidation of large speculative account. Most of the days selling was regarded as profit taking on stock bought at last weeks s lower levels.
 Merger Under Way Strength of Gillette reflected an- nouncement of the completion of the plant to acquire Autostrop. The announcement indicated that after , the merger is completed, Gillette will be placed on a $4 annual dividend basis, as reduced from S5, but Wall street had expected a reduction in the dividend, and brokerage gossip
 had indicated that the reduction
 might be larger.
 Consolidated Film moved upward on announcement of the closing Of q five-year contract with Metro ] Goldwyn- Mayer for the processing . of more than 500, 100000 feet of film. The rally in Warner Bros. was attributed to reports in trade circles that current operations were again showing fair profits. after the un- i favorable results of the summer i The advance in this issue, however 1 lacked vigor, for traders are await 1 ing with interest the annual report covering the fiscal year ended Au- gust 31.
 Caution Advised | While business news has not been as bad this week as last weeks eX-
 treme pessimism had indicated

 stated that sound recovery cannot l be hurried.
