NEW YORK, Dec. "a sharp set
back in the stock Of International
Telephone and Telegraph Company
and general weakness in the COM
munication issues retarded a rally
in progress on the Stock Exchange
in the early trading today after
reaction following an irregular
opening.
International Telephone was
driven down to 2215, off 2l, and a
new low for the present stock on
fears the dividend would be passed
at the next meeting of directors.
Western Union shared this weak
ness, making a new low for the
year at 1909, off 2. American Tele-
phone declined az points to 1872 and
then rallied fractionally.
Rails Sold Early
Selling in the railroad shares was
an early feature. It marked a con-
tinuation of weakness in the groups
shares and bonds for the last few
days. Before the end of the first
hour nearly every active railroad
stock had made a new low for sew
eral years. The average was the
lowest in more than five years. Sell
ing in the carriers slowed up as
noon approached.
Before lessening Of pressure on
the carriers, losses had run to 3
points in such issues as Chicago,
Rock Island 81 Pacific, Pere Mar
quette and Texas 81 Pacific. New
York Central made new low since
1926 at 118l5, off rs. 1t then rallied
to 122 and drifted back to a fraction
above 100.
The market slowed down in turn
over. Traders were wary as indi-
cations of technical recovery APP
peared. On the other hand, there
was considerable fear regarding
difficulties as a result of failure of
the merger plan involving four New
York banks into a billion dollar in
Stitution to materialize.
Steel Reacts
Industrial stocks moved back and
forth. Steel was carried above 142
from a low of 1407s on expectation
of rise in untitled orders from No
vember. It reacted again, however,
and was holding around 141% at
noon. At that price it was up Il
net.
Gillette Safety Razor was a weak
spot in the special issues, breaking
"a to 272, a new low. j. I. Case
was under pressure, breaking to a
new low for the year at 95H, off
ia The latter price compared with
a high for the year of 1929. West
inghouse Electric was around SO, I'M
changed from the previous close.
Call money held at 2 per cent.
Cotton sold off to within touching
distance of lows for the year, while
wheat met support.

Application for a mandamus to COM
pei Leo A. Rover, United States at
torney, to return the books and records

purpose of an audit, was made today
to the District Supreme Court by the
company, whose recent luncheon
lecture" method of selling subdivision
property in Maryland was the subject
Of an investigation by the Blaine sub
committee Of the Senate.
Through Attorney Frank T. Fuller
the company tells the court that when
1t was served with a summons from Mr..
Rover for its books, a newspaper car
ried story to the effect that a sweep
ing investigation was under way, al
though there was but one complaint
before the United States attorney
which prompted the request for the
books. This complaint, the court is adj
vised, has been dropped and further de-
tentton Of the records of the company
is declared embarrassing and unnec-
eSSary.
