STOCK PRICES DROP
IN LATE DEALINGS.
Gains of Fridays Session Are
Not NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Shares Lower.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,
prasn Financial Editor.


NEW YORK, october 4.-The stock
market ended q turbulent week with
decided WEAKNESS today.
Trading was extremely dull, and the
gains of the previous session were not
maintained, as bears took advantage of
week end proflt-taking to seek out soft
spots. Pivotal shares were in moderate
demand at times, but sagged subStan-
TALLY In the final transactions.
A long list of important stocks closed
to 2 points lower, and few shares
finished 8 to lower. During the first
hour several issues had shown tempo
rary gains of point or two. Final
quotations were, In the main, fraction
ally above the days lowest. Total trans
actions aggregated 100000 shares. The
closing tone was heavy.
Losses Recorded.
q. 8. Steel, Westinghouse Electric,
Sears Roebuck and New York Central
lost about points, the last named re-
cording the lowest price in three years.
American Telephone and Allied Chemi-
cal dropped 4 points. and Eastman Ko-
dak tumbled Z. Shares closing a point
or more off included American Can,
Standard Oil of New Jersey, and Gen
eral Electric. Radio was off only frac-
ton, Transamerica was steady and Fox
Film and Warner Bros. finished frac-
tionally higher.
Although the extreme pessimism of
early In the week had largely vanished,
business news was not of a character
to inspire much bullishness. News that
the Stock Exchange had requested
members for copies of all messages sent
over their wires during the past fort
night relating to the financial condi-
ton of members was regarded as indi-
eating a determination to check dis
senination of irresponsible bear rumors,
but failed to influence the market.
Reports from the steel industry failed
10 promise any resumption of the &C
celeration of output which was checked
q few days ago. Estimates from the
Youngstown area indicated that Re
public Steel and Youngstown Sheet
would make little change In schedules
next week, but Carnegie would reduce
operations from SIS to so per cent of
capacity, reducing the average for the
area to SO per cent, against 81 this
week. A reduction Of so cents a ton

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN QUIET MARKET
Price Changes Mixed as Bulls
and Bears Try for
Advantage.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.
Associated Press Financial Editor

ASSOCIATED PreSS FINANCIAL EDITOR.
NEW YORK, August 13.-The bear
camp. usually populated by a select
group of professional operators, began
to resemble public picnicking ground
in todays stock market, and several of
the original bears started to withdraw
in annoyance, influencing q temporary
midday rally In share prices, after
further decline during the morning
In the meantime, the confirmed bulls
hurled little more tangible in the di-
rection of the bears than invective
There was little inclination to fight
back with action and cash. The bears
we're chiefly concerned over the I'M
wieldy character of their following, re-
calling the numerous explosive upturns
caused by stampedes of overcrowded
shorts IN the past
The morning decline carried prices off
/ to points, reducing the general level
to close to the bottom of June. The
losses were fairly well regained by early
afternoon, and several shares showed
advances of to more than 3. American
Tobacco B, Warner Bros. Johns Man
vile, North American and Houston sold
up 2 to points, and shares gaining
a point or more included such issues as
United States Steel. American Tele-
phone, Radio, General Electric and Gen.
eral Motors. During the morning,
Bethlehem Steel, American Power &
Light and j. I. Case sagged about 2
points to new 1880 lows, and Kennecolt,
Childs and Columbia Gas also recorded
new bottom prices.
A tendency of trading volume to in
crease with a declining market, and to
turn dull on advances was reversal OF
recent form, and was discouraging 10
the cause of higher prices.
Late Rally.
The rally was considerably extended
in the afternoon dealings as short
covering became more insistent. Stocks
like American Can, Johns Manville,
Vanadiun. Auburn Auto, Corn Products,
Gillette, North American, Houston Oil

The fire siren on a telephone pole at

MEXICAN CATHOLICS
SEEK LAW CHANGES
Will Ask Congress to Amend Pro.
visions They Claim Restrict
Freedom of Church,

Catholics in Mexico, according to the
newspaper La Prensa, are organizing
to present petition to Congress for
the amendment Of those constitutional
provisions which, they claim, restrict the
freedom Of the church. This movement
was started in view Of the fact that
In September Congress will present q
new lineup.
Elections next month will sweep out
the entire membership OF the House of
Representatives, while half the seats in
the Senate will be disputed at the polls.
Similar petitions In the past failed,
when the Chamber Of Deputies turned
them down for some reason or other.
CathollcS now are hopeful of better
luck, believing that a change of Con-
gresSmen will bring about change in
policy, especially as they think that
PRESIDENT Ortiz Rubio Is more concilia-
tory than Portes Gil.
Persons close to President Rubio de-
clare that whatever attitude he adopts
VIII be in accord with the liberal tradi-
lions OF the country favoring the sepa-
ration Of the church and state. It is
added that since his youth Ortiz Rubio
was an ardent supporter OF the Liberal
party's policies tending to uphold the
"reforma" laws and constitution Of 1857,
on which the religious provisions of the
present Charta Magma are based.
Church authorities have warned the
clergy to refrain from any participa-
ton in the present campaign, which
should be conducted exclusively by lay
men.

KING is DELIGHTED
BY AMERICANS GIFT
Likes Ties, Presented by Late Am.
bassador Moore, Better Than
Any Others.

MADRID P1.-King Alfonso, consid-
cred one of the best dressed men in
the world. has probably possessed thou
sands OF neckties. But he is said never
to have had any he liked better or wore
oftener than six given him by the late
Alexander P. Moore, when the latter
was American Ambassador here.
Ambassador Moore once saw some
neckties he fancied and thought the
King would like them. So he bought a
nalf dozen and gave them to Don AL
IonSo, as casually as he might have
done with any American friend.
Some OF the court officials gasped. No
Span1ard could have done such q thing.
His gift to his King, were he of a rank
permitting him to make one at all,
would be much more costly and elab-
crate.
The experience pleased the King i'm
mensely. Nobody had ever given him
six neckties before-or dared to dream
Of doing so.

FOR TUBERCULOSIS
Treatment Found Through Caring
for Sick Headaches and Ner-

BERLIN (P).-Dr. Max Gerson dis
covered treatment for tuberculosis
through caring for sick headaches and
nervous complaints.
Using special diets for these maladies,
he says, he inadvertently cured some of
the same patients Of tuberculosis of the

This led him to found dietary treat
ment for tuberculosis. He says the first
principle Is unlocked food.
Among the prohibited articles of diet
are tobacco, alcohol, coffee, strong tea,
cake, chocolate and especially table salt
In lieu Of the latter garlic, onions or
metallic salts are served with food. At
the beginning of the treatment meat of
any description is forbidden.
DR.. Gerson regards as most important
the Juice OF cooked spinach, cabbage or
carrots.
