CURB FEELS TREND ID LOWER PRICES
Selling Steady During Earlier
 Hours Of Session

New York. Aug. P)-Influences working for lower prices were in the majority on the curb market to- day and stocks turned heavy. AL | though selling was in only fair volume, it was nevertheless steady during the earlier hours and N,i groups of shares felt the pressure.
 Resistance levels were uncovered a point or two below the Thursday close in many of the more active is sues, but volatile shares broke sharp ly. On the whole, however, the market was quiet and offerings were mostly in blocks ot nominal size.
 Liquidation was especially notice- able in the utilities and investment company shares. American Gas & Electric was rather freely offered and slumped several points. Elec- tric Bond & Share dipped below 78 for a loss of more than 2, while American Superpower, United Gas, International Waterpower and American Light & Traction yielded a point or more. Niagara Hudson and Middle West Utilities were steady.
 Breaks of a point or so in Insull utilities investments, Shenandoah common and Public Utility Holding featured the investment trust and investment holding company group. Goldman Sachs again had to absorb considerable selling and slid off to a new low.
 Most of the oils and natural gas issues were quiet. but the trading Lone Star Gas lost a couple of was at lower levels. Humble and points. Vacuum. Houston Missouri Kansas Pipe and Gulf were heavy. Cities Service traded below 28.
 Many of the specialties were in supply, especially Deere. which broke more than half a dozen points. American Cynamid, Driver Harris, Technicolor and Ford cf Canada "A" sagged about Q point, but Ford of England, the weeks feature on this market. was firm and moderately active. Heyden Chemical made a new low, while Aviation Credit Corp. climbed to the years highest price. Odd lot trad ing in Western Maryland preferred brought out a substantial rise in the stock.

RAILROAD ISSUES
 SHOW UP WELL
Warner Brothers 6S Sell at
 New Low Today

New York, Aug. s.-lP}-RaiIroad and Utility bonds made a good show ing in quiet session today, as stock privilege issues turned reactionary in sympathy with a weak share market.
 Warner Brothers 6s sold off to a new low for the year, on loss of more than a point and then recover ed partially. St. Paul Adjustment 5s yielded points in the early dealings, selling within 3 points of it's years low. The heavy trading in Rock Is- land convertible 1-2s continued with the price slightly below yester- days closing figure. General Thea tres 6s were dull and about 1-2 point lower Baltimore and Ohio 1-2s of 1883 sold at the years high price.
 As the day wore on, trading broadened in highly selective mar ket with high grade railroad and utility issues enjoying some price enhancement. Savings banks and in- surance companies are reported to be largely responsible for the strong inquiry for the better grade domes- tic bonds but they are rather cau- tious, not desiring to precipitate higher prices. Nevertheless the price level has reached point where even small fractions produce new high records for the year.
 Pennsylvania General 4 1-2s, le- gal for savings banks, reached a new peak. with 1-4 point gain. Bos- ton opd Naine Re uere a cODSpicu- ous performer, at the years best price. Atchison As and New York Central Deb. As were firm. Missouri Pacific 1-2s "A' turned down. ward, together with Erie 5s, and New York Central refunding Is with losses confined to moderate fractions.
 Utilities showed a firmer tone as group than rails. American Tele- phone issues were in demand around the best prices of the year, and International Telephone os, North American Edison 5s, Pacific Gas and Electric 5s, Western Union 5s and Public Service Electric and Gas 4 1-2s moving upward.
 Foreign dollar bonds did little. South Americans were dull and steady. French z 1-2s were in de- mand around 125, and the Is were firm. German Is eased. in contrast with the upward trend of the new 1-2 per cent loan.
 |. s. Governments were unchang- ed. There were no new offerings.

Firemen's Convention
 Will Not Be Held Here

Owing to the high cost of enter
 taining visiting firemen, the New Britain firemen are not going to invite the Connecticut State Fire
 mems association to hold its annual convention in this city next year, ac- cording to officials of the depart ment. The unemployment here now and the difficulty that will probably be encountered trying to raise the several thousands of dollars neces- sary if the state firemen were to be entertained in the proper manner are obstacles that seem too hard to be overcome and the f1remen will wait for a few years before oblgat- ing the city to a convention expense.

DRYS CHALLENGE
 VETS FOR PLAN
Anti-Saloon Group Wants Direct
 Statement on Liquor

Little Point Sable, Mich, Aug. ! iLP-The executive board of the Anti Saloon League of America has chal- lenged opponents of prohibition to offer a better plan to bring temper ance and sobriety to the nation. The challenge was included in the declaration of police and program of action adopted by the board in the last session of its two day biennial conference yesterday.
 Time For Showdown"
 Tn view Of the loose talk by the vets about repeal Or modification of the prohibition law, the time has come for a showdown" said the challenge made public by Dr. F. Scott McBride, national superintend- ent of the league. We must in- slst upon specific statements and en- tighten the voters as to merits and demsrits Of any proposed law. The public has a right to know exactly what is proposed.
 In g preamble to the declaration of policy, the board placed blame for much of the prohibition upon Metropolitan newspapers. .
 We are gratifed over victories of the past. and the fact that we have held our lines confronted with an extraordinary situation in that we now face highly financed and well organized wet movement creating an erroneous impression chiefly through access to metropolitan dailies."
 The league inserted in it's declar- ation of policy, a threat of opposi- ton for wet candidates and a prom ise of support for drys. regardless Of party, in forthcoming elections.
 seek Dry Congress
 Within the rights of citizenship and democracy" il said, i've will use every endeayor to elect a dry con- gress, in both branches and keep an ayowed dry in the White House.
 We accept the suggestion of Pres ident Hoover and others that re- spective states do full duty in the matter of law enforcement. We pledge ourselves to an aggressive movement in every state for ade- quate enforcement measures"
 A five year educational campaign to lay responsibility for success of ] prohibition before the voters and instruct the younger generation in | the effects of alcohol in the human 1 system was outlined to be in charge 1 of Dr. Ernest H. Cherrington of 1 Westerville, Ohio. A half million d-uars is to be spent and use is to be made of motion pictures. radio. the press. debates and oratorical contests.
