 New York, Aug 16.-on the theory that the interstate com merce commission would not get around to granting increased freight rates to the railroads of the country until too late 10 pre- vent removal from the legal list of the rail bonds, traders threw their rail holdings overboard on the stock exchange to-day.
 The wide open break in carrier shares was responsible for q drop in other sections of the list after an attempt to rally the market In the late morning.
 Another factor which worked against the list was q drop of 74,- 5f0 tons in unified orders. Of the U. s. Steel Corporation as of July 31 compared with the June 30 total.
 Railroad stocks were down 1 to ' points. Union Pacific broke to 1884 off and new low since 1925; Atchison 135 off 6"1-8, a new low on the movement; New York Central 68.. off IS, new low since 1921; Canadian Pacific 2l 3-S off 7-8, record for present shares; New Haven 54 1-4, off 1 1-4, q new law since 1928; Baltimore and Ohio preferred 64% off 2 IA, neY low since 1925; Pennsylvania 40& off 1 3-8, new low since 1924. Nor folk and Western broke 5 points, Louisville and Nashville 1 points and Missouri Pacific nearly 4. Railroad bonds continued to de- cline, espe cia1Iy the secpnd grade issues which were making new lows for the year. If rail earn ings continue 10 decline, the high grade issues will be removed from the legal lists. This means that banks and insurance companies holding the issues will be forced to dump them in the market Tor what they will bring.
 Anticipating elimination of many issues from legal list. many or these companies to-day were sell ing their holdings. The reduced earnings coming out steadily VIII bring many more dividend reduc- tions in .he group before long, &C., cording to market observers. The finest railr; ads in the country will be included in the reductions. New York Central. 1t was believed, would be forced to pare down its payment end 1t was believed al- most certain New Haven could not continue to pay its present rate on common stock. Cuts were an- ticipated tr such issues as Atchison and Union Pacific among a long list of others.
 Sales ran along with the Friday total. At I:30 they totaled 300. 900 shares. At 1880 the Dow-Jones in- dustrial average was down 1.47 at 133.47; railroad 88.57 off 1.72 and utility 55.03 off 0.37 The rail average was very close to It's low for the bear market made on June 2 at 86.8j.
 Despite ihe crash in rails. prln- cipal induE.rials held fin q relative ly marrow range. Steel broke to it's low on the movement of S4 a. but rallied to above Sb. Allied Chemical, Eastman, Sears Roebuck, and Auburn Auto were down to points. tut such issues as Vest inghousc Electric. General Electric.

 Washington, Aug 10.-CUP)- Interpretation of the Volstead act insofar as it touches on home wine making became to-day the center of the renewed and bitter fight both prohibitionists and an- u-prohibitionists are making against the so called grape con- Centrates" which are furnishing real wine in American homes.
 Az Federal Prohibition Director Woodcock returned to his office to- day, 1t was contended in some quarters that the Vo1stead act le- galizes the by-product for making wine in the home.
 The Volstead act, 1t was claim ed sets up in section 29 q home op- ton" for manufacture of wine for consumption in the home, since this section permits manufacture of on-intoxicating" fruit juices in the home while other provisions prohibit search of homes by fed eral agents without evidence of a sale.
 Section 29 is the only section which makes no mention of the ono-half of one per cent alcohol Limitations. It merely says mon intoxicating and does not specify what intoxicating might mean its only restriction is that wine in the home shall not be sold.
 Since the most recently discus sion of grape concentrate came up tho United Press was informed that 6. representative of the grape fD- du.ry was present at the original drafting of the Volstead act and that 1t specifically expected home wine manufacture.
 But mention of wine was elim- mated. 1t was explained on request to senators who said 1t would be necessary to substitute synonym pus phrase. The position of the grape concentrate industries as
