STOCKS IRREGULAR
AT SHORT SESSION
Market Closes With Rally as
Pivotal Shares Attract

BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 2T--High-
grade industrials and one or two of the
utilities put up good show Of re.
sistance in today's stock market, but
the list as whole went into new low
ground on the movement, with the
greatest pressure against the rails, the
oils and the metal stocks.
When the selling was at its height
the averages came down approximately
to the June low, but this indication was
Cancelled by the subsequent hardening
American Can was the leader of the
upturn, with United States Steel. West
inghouse Electric and Consolidated Gas
following along.
Selling was heaviest in the first hour
and the resistance strongest in the late
dealings. American Can was the lead
er on the recovery and United States
Steel held well. The rally, however,
was disappointingly feeble. The best
that could be said was that losses were.
much smaller in number Of points than
they had been In the preceding ses-
SionS.
Oils were excessively weak and no
were the coppers, but 1t was the rails
which yielded most significantly today.
No other explanation was needed than
the August earnings statements, a new
batch of which came to hand during
the morning. To take only two in
stances, Atchison reported gross for
August of $19,961 1896, against $26,285,.
628 in the same month year ago, and
q net of $5,749,712. against $8,543, $40.
Baltimore g. Ohio had an August gross
of $18,409,9 $50. compared with $40, $780,
046 in August, 1929. and net of S4,-
473,226, against $5,3I5,S84.
Atchison slumped or points.
Baltimore 81 Ohio made n new years
low. A large block of Pennsylvania
came out at 20. after which the quota
ton also dipped into new low ground
for this year. New Haven was weak
and so was Rock Island and Canadian
Pacific. 1t was difficult to avoid the
conclusion that this selling was mot
merely for short account but repre-
sented discouraged liquidation.
Metal stocks were freely offered and
the two leaders, Anaconda and Kenne-
colt, made new 1880 lows. In the oil
list Atlantic Refining, Phillips, Pure Oil.

HARLINGEN. March 28.-Read-
justment Of handling financing Of
games between teams of the west
ern League now training in the
Lower Rio Grande Valley Is being
worked out between the Valley
sponsors.
The new arrangement y for each
city to keep the gate receipts on
home games.
At the present time receipts are
divided between the towns in which
the two teams are training, for in
stance II Denver plays Omaha at
Mission, both towns share in the re-
ceiptS equally.
The change is being made In order
TO permit the towns to work out
their own campaigns of advertising
TO increase attendance. AT present
time one town could not launch q
campaign unless all the other three
did, since IL would be spending its
funds to help some other city.
The four Valley towns in which
the Western League teams are train
ing have gJs~-anteed $1,000 each &c
these teams.
AS an added inducement for
crowds, the cities have decided 10

after eliminating teams from 9TH

Dallas are favored TO cop again.

wonder II the $500 deficit in the

inaugurate the Battle Of Grapefruit.
The chief reason was the powerful
record rolled up by the Brownsville
Eagles and their exclusion from
the All-Valley squad. A second bad
move was the fact that the game
was staged IN Brownsville. Even az
that, fans from all portions OF the
Valley poured in. Had the tilt been
held at Harrington, II would have
probably been a financial success.
The Valley natural which would
nave made many q dollar would
have been a Observation-Disclosures

WITH q little more adept han
ding and with the experience gain
