AUBURN BREAKS
ON RUMORS
Of PROBE
Drops 9 Points as Word Passes,
Exchange Authorities and
State Plan Investigation
BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March 6 G.N.SJ.
Thursdays closing squirt in the
utility stocks and specialties was
extended into the first hour to-
day and most of the favorites
swung into higher price levels.
United Corporation was turned
over in large blocks above 90,
the highest price since last sum-
mer and Consolidated Gas
reached 103 for the first time
this year.
The pools whipped up Van
adium, radio and other specialtieS
to the best prices on the move,
but while these upturns were
taking place, prices were declin-
ing in other sections Of the
market.
:, Big Break in Auburn
A 9-point break in Auburn
Auburn to 100 was caused by
rur0ors of an investigation Of it's
Eneteoric market course by the
stock exchange authorities as
well as by the State attorney
generals office.
American Rolling Mills broke
about Q points to 271s on an
nouncement of the passing Of its
dividend and j. 1. Case sold off
4 points in company with the
eoftening of the grain market.
The oil stocks were under
pressure as crude oil prices were
again slashed at many of the
important producing points.
There was no evidence of dis.
tribution of stock in the weekly
report on brokers' loans which
showed a decrease of but $8,000,,
600. Business and industrial re-
ports were generally cheerful,
with moderate improvement noted
in the steel and automobile in
duStries.

Proposed Federal regulation of

SET Of MARKET
SOON To Be
SHOWN
Whether Trend Is to Be Down
or Up Must Be Indicated
Shortly, Ayers Spectator
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March 6.-Now
that the normal rebound from
an oversold condition has taken
place, the market will be forced
to reveal whether Wednesdays
low levels constituted a definite
set of resistance points from
which additional sustained price
improvement may be expected, or
whether there is further liquida.
ton awaiting which will bring
about resumption of the major
downward trend.
Rails Fail To Gain.
The rather vigorous recovery
which took place yesterday would
have looked more convincing If
the rail group had taken a more
prominent position on the upturn.
While the standard statistics in
dex of 80 stocks showed a gain Of
almost 3 points. This was due
largely to a bulge of more than
points in the utility group. The
rails we're able to move up but
eight-tenths of point.
Spectator is not greatly i'm.
pressed with the efforts of the
bull faction to run the shorts in
by concentrating on the utility
group. If ever there was a wide.
ly advertised move circulated
around Wall Street circles it was
the one which had to do with the
bidding up of this section co-inci-
dent with the adjournment of
Congress.
It is also interesting to note
that of the approximate turnover
of 2,700,000 shares on Thursday,
dealings in United Corporation
alone amounted to 273,1 shares,
or more than 10 per cent of the
total activity of the entire listed
market.
Earnings Have Dropped
Were there any sound basis for
the special activity in this group,
other than the flotation of the
usual fantastic rumors, there
could readily develop an impor.
tant upward movement in the en-
tire market from this point. But
despite all of the talk dealing with
the depreSsion-proof aspects of
the utility industry, earnings of
utility companies have suffered
alike with other enterprises, al
though to a lesser degree.
Regardless of whether or not
the present advance can be main
tained over the weekend, there
has been no underlying change
in the general situation.
Railroads are cutting down ex-
penses wherever possible in an
effort to bolster up their net
operating income. An illustration
Of this is seen in the orders for
railroad equipment since the be-
ginning of the year. During Feb
ruary, domestic builders received
orders for only "a freight cars,
against none in January, and
1891 in February of last year.
Railroads ordered eight locomo-
tives last month, against two in
January and 16 in February. 1880.
No passenger cars we're ordered
in the first two months of this
year, while 1874 were ordered in
February, 1890. Ten locomotives
were ordered in the first two
months against 179 up to the
end of February. last year.

REBUKE HOOVER
On RELIEF

Faced with President Hoover's
opposition to direct appropria-
,tion for unemployment and
drought relief, Administration
leaders on Capitol Hill today
we're seeking compromise of the
controversy over Federal aid for
the needy.
Senate Passes Bill
The Senate was on record, for
the second time, in favor OF a
direct appropriation of $25, 600, 600
to the American Red Cross.
Administration leaders of the
House announced they would not
accept this provision, but Demo
cratic leaders declared the House
would approve it by an over
wheIming majority if given an
opportunity to vote on it.
A compromise may be drafted,
providing the Federal fund shall
be only a loan" to the REQ
Cross, to be repaid by popular
subscriptions. Speaker Long
worth (R.) of Ohio though, was
reported as favoring a plan by
which the Government fund
would be allotted only when
matched" by popular subscr1p-
tions to the Red Cross.
Seen AS Rebuke
The Senate's action in apprOv-
ing the fund by a vote Of St to
ga twO-thirds majOrity-Was
interpreted generally as a re-
bukc to the President.

HARRISBURG, Pa, Jan. 20
GNSO.-Gifford Pinchot, out
spoken foe of public utilities
combines, pronounced "dry" and
already mentioned as a factor in
1882 Presidential representations,
today became Pennsylvania S
forty-fourth governor.
He succeeded John S. Fisher,
who four years ago succeeded Mr.
Pinchot. Both are Republicans.
Hits Public Utilities
Governor PinchOt climaxed his
inaugural oath with SlaShing
excOriatiOn of political ChiCanery,
fIayed public utilities for political
activities, reaffirmed his personal
and political faith in the Eight
eenth Amendment and declared
the nations greatest need to be
a solution of the unemployment
problem.
The salient feature Of the in
augural address was Governor
Pinchot's attack upon public
utilities. In concise, biting
phrases, he accused the utilities
interests of attempting to nullify
popular government in every
State in the Union.
Invisible Control" Hit
Referring to the utilities inter
ests, he declared:
"Their effort to control the
affairs of this Commonwealth
is part of the wider attempt Of
the same men to control the
nation.
