ISSUES LEAD

Westinghouse, American Can,
Consolidated Gas, dupont
and Allied Chemical Drop
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, June 80 G.N.SD.
With little or no change in the
general situation, either at home
or abroad, stocks drifted back to
lower prices in a dull and quiet
market today.
It was no surprise to Wall
Street that little further progress
was made in the debt moratorium
negotiations. But reports from
Paris were generally satisfactory.
A further Stiffening of prices of
copper and wheat was offset by
the setback in cotton and the
extension of the price war in gas
oline.
Trading Is Slow
With transactions on the big
. board up to noon less than half
OF last weeks sessions traders
! were more inclined to look for
profits than to buy new stocks.
The professionals also were gener-
! ally on the selling side of the
. market.
An early 3-point dip in United
States Steel to 101H set the pace
for the industrial favorites which
led the latest sensational upward
move. Westinghouse fell frac-
tionally under 70 for a loss of 2
points.
American Can, Consolidated
/ Gas and DUPONT dropped off
nearly points. Allied Chemical
was down 5. Union Pacific, New
. York Central and Atchison fell
back about 3 points in a dull
/. market, and Johns Evansville lost
/, 3 points at 57A.
I Some SpecialitieS Gain
. While these reactions were TAX
sing place a few of the specialties
resumed their advance under the
lead of j. I. Case. The oil stocks
were also in good form, and the
1ow-priced rails were inactive
rather than weak.
s The amusement stocks, electri-
cal manufacturing stocks, copperS
and rail equipment stocks firmed
after an early drop from Satur-
days close, but the market was
again dull on the reaction" in
| dicating few stocks for sale on
q falling price scale.

CHANCE IS SEEN
IN EFFICIENT
COPPERS.
Readiustments in Industry
to Bring Appreciation for
Stocks of Some Units Soon
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June 20 IN.S0.
General Foods and American Can
are the only stocks out Of 80 on
the Dow-Jones Industrial average,
which established bear market
bottoms during the October No
vember 1929, slump. All other
stocks in this index reached
lower levels this year or in 1880.
General Foods low was eStab-
lished october 20, 1929 at 35, with
the 1880 low at 443s and the 1881
low to date at 43.
American Can touched 86 on
November 13, 1929, with the low
in 1880 at 1045s, and the low in
1881 to date at 92A.
Chances in Copper
In the opinion of Standard Sta
tistics, current low metal prices,
while Immediately adverse to
earnings, should bring about re-
adjustments in the industry
through the gradual elimination
of the marginal output, with ulti
mate benefits accruing to tho
most efficient. units.
Rejecting this development, u
is held that common stocks Of
such companies as international
Nickel and American Smelling
are likely to show substantial ap
probation during the next year
or longer.
Moderate accumulation Cf these
issues during periods of market
weakness between now and mid
summer is advised for inclusion
in well-diverSified portfolios.
Making Most of News
Some astute market observers
say forces are at work to keep
up the extraordinary run of good
tidings and to place a favorable
Interpretation on them.
At the same time the elements
in control are making sure that
these events are capitalized TO
the fullest extent possible market
wise, while brushing aside un-
favorable items.
However, it is pointed out that
some time in the near future
good news may not be so abun-
dant, especially now that it is
being used up so fast. Whether
the market will be able to meet
the test in acceptable manner re-
mains to be seen.

economy and where the man himself
has the familiarity with the case in

gained by long association with 1t.
At the time that Hartman was EN-
Moved there was not only the question
of his familiarity with the base, but the
fact. too, that the commission was
working with q shortened legal stan.
One of the moot questions involved
in the Great Northern valuation was
that Of track laying and surfacing. for
which the road was paying $o,oS1 $50
more than allowed by the Bureau OF
Valuation. In its final decision on the
valuation, the commission cut the al
lowance by an additional $822, 314.
Hartman's resignation in the niles OF
the Interstate Commerce Commission
does not state the nature OF the en-
ployment he was to undertake, explain
ing only that he felt compelled by
the obligation to my family" to leave
the commission.
A cursory study Of records in the
GREAT Northern Case does not show that
Hansel appeared as a witness in any
proceedings. Particularly. his name
does not appear in the list Of witnesses
~cming in on the track-laying and
urfacing question.
It was said at the commission, how
ever, that because the issues involved
in the Great Northern case were Of
Importance to all railroads, Hansel
might conceivably have been inteseated
to that extent.
