. ON LIGHT TRADING
Reaction in Market Has Ap.

Issues Sold Out.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, September Prices
hardened in today's stock market with
trading no more active than 1t had
been in the previous session when they
were weakening. In other words, the
market just about retraced the ground
lost on Monday.
The better feeling was most in evil
dence in the last hour and quotations
made their highs just before the close.
The late buying conceded with an up
ward furry in railway bonds based on
reports that the car loadings statement
Wednesday would show a gratifying
increase.
Again it was nothing in the news
that governed the price movement In
the market The show of firmness in
stocks was only another indication of
the sold-out condition now existing.
The weekly statement of reporting
member banks to the Federal Reserve
Board showed an increase in loans on
securities and falling off in the item
"all Others" meaning commercial loans.
Rails were irregular, with a new low
for the bear market in Nashville, Chat
tanooga & st. Louis. Union Pacific
sold off, even taking into account the
dividend that came off the price. On
the other hand New York Central and
Baltimore & Ohio were well supported.
There was little doing in the utilities
either way. A weak spot among the
food shares was Beechnut Packing,
down over 3 points. reversing the move
ment of the day before.
Volume of trading was as low as ever.
The bulk of the transactions originated
on the floor Too much significance,
therefore, cannot be awarded these
day-to-day fluctuations in a profess
sional market. The situation is such,
nevertheless, that any unexpected good
news could produce hurried covering
movement.
The oil stocks were heavy, particular
ly the lower-priced ones, but most OF
the popular industrialS ranged higher.
Crude oil output decreased 537, 642 bar
rels daily during the week ending Au-
gust %. The doubt, however, was as
to what would happen after the ban en-
production is lifted in Texas.
Amusement stocks were favored in

Whitney Estate Increase.

NEW YORK, September l Especially
The increase in the value of the
Whitney estate from May, 1927, to May,
1929, was nearly $50 900 900, due to the
rise in securities in that period 1t
would have been considerably more
had the appraisals been made in Sep
TENDER, 1929. Likewise, values would
be materially less If they were made on
the basis of current quotations. In
numerous instances the values showed
reductions from the May, 1929, rating
of as much as SO per cent. This is
particularly true in the case of rail-
road stocks contained in the inventory
of securities.

leader, up over point. Endicott-
johnson, representing the shoe indus
try, made another new high for the
year. United States Steel, General Mo-
tors and American Can during the
morning hours either held their own
or were fractionally higher. Shorts in

their commitments than to extend
them.

The Film Fathers"

Though Americans hold that Edison
was the first Of the filmers, there is
no doubt that a Frenchman named
Louis Anne Augustin lie Prince ac-
tually produced films several years be-
fore Edison. He took up his residence
at Leeds, England, in 1888 and photo
graphed pictures with q one-lens
camera and also made a protector.
His invention attracted considerable
attention. though he was never able
to exploit 1t commercially, for he came
to an untimely and mysterious end.
On September IS, 1890, he entered a
Paris train at Dion and was never
seen again. His widow always believed
he was the victim of foul play and that
he was bumped of" by an unscrupu-
ious gang that wanted to obtain con-
troll of his invention.
Other names have been mentioned
as the Father of the Film" but Leeds
firmly upholds the claims Of lie Prince
to be the inventor of the movies" and
he is to be honored In the Yorkshire
City by the erection of a memorial.
