RELIC BELIEVED
TO Be PIECE OF
CALVARY CROSS
New Orleans Family Given
Fragment by Catholic
Priest, Is Tradition.

By United Press
NEW ORLEANS, May "a frag-
nent of wood. encased in a time
worn silver, cross-shaped, silver
shield, IS the greatest treasure Of
an old New Orleans family.
Tradition Of the DR.. Joseph M.
Iollivar family has it the small,
worn piece of wood in the silver
cross is fragment Of the True
Cross on which Jesus Christ was
crucified.
With the passing Of almost q
century since it came into the fam
lly, however, all documents that
may have come with the cross have
been lost.
Tollivar now owns the cross. It
was left him by his mother, a de-
vout Catholic woman of old New
Orleans, who married Angel M.
Tollivar, a tobacco buyer, who came
10 New Orleans.
Shortly after their marriage they
were in New York, according to
the Tollivar family tradition, and a
great affection befeu the archbishop
OF New York, the Most Rev. John
Hughes. His affliction probably
was what is today known as gran
ulated eyelids, or possible trachoma.
Treatment by physicians caused him
to lose his eyesight.
Mrs. Tollivar invited the arch
bishop to her home and offered to
treat his eyes with a homemade
remedy. made simply with rosemary
sprigs.
Tradition continues that the arch
bishop was healed and his graft
tude knew no bounds.
The archbishop presented Mrs.
Tolllvar with the small silver cross,
inside of which was fragment of
wood, sealed with the seal of the
pope, impressed on sealing wax.
The archbishop told Mrs. Tollivar
1t had been given him by the hand
OF his holiness, the pope" on
visit to Rome.
The Nest Rev. John w. Shaw,
archbishop Of New Orleans, has ex-
amined the little silver cross and its
fragment Of wood, but said it would
be impossible to know if it was a
true relic without proper documents.

The Washington times., 1931-12-14
By LEWIS HANEY

Director New York University Bureau
Of Business Research
The steel industry continues to
stick on a dead center. The pro-
ducers are holding out for steady
prices or even marking up a few
items such as wire and nails,
which have been very low.
But buyers show so little in
tereSt that the prices are prac-
tically nominal. Concessions are
freely made on sheets, plates and
structural shapes. -
1t is a long time since so little
interest existed in steel price
quotations for the next quarter.
In the November statistics
there were two unusual and in
tereSting developments.
These we're Cd an increase in
the average daily production of
steel ingots and (2) a decrease in
the untitled orders of the U. S.
Steel Corporation. Doubtless
these facts are interrelated.
Increase Exceptional
Usually steel production de.
clines about 4 per cent in No
vember, when the heavy indus
tries taper off with cold weather.
The increase last month was
therefore exceptional. In October
my adjusted index was only 36.7
per cent of normal, but in No
vember it became Al per cent.
Does this mark a turn in the
industry? Probably not. In the
first place, the increase was con-
fined to a single kind of steel
(BesSemer), which is used only to
a small extent. This indicates a
special and temporary case.
In the second place there is no
indication of an improvement in
demand which would support a
sustained increase in production.
Drop in New Business
This is where the untitled or
ders come into the picture. The
volume of business remaining un-
filled on the order books of the
leading company was much lower
at the end of the month than at
the beginning. This means a de-
cline in new business.
Almost always, untitled orders
increase in November. Last month
they declined. Not only that;
they declined so sharply that my
adjusted index dropped at more
rapid rate than in any recent
month.
When we find such a down.
ward rate of change in untitled
orders we can be fairly sure that
sales have declined. So this is
one reason why the production
The Washington times., 1931-12-14
Haney's Analysis of Steel
Outlook Is Gloomy

increase is not to be regarded
favOrably.
Lower Prices Due
Furthermore, pig IRON produc.
ton declined more than season.
ally. I find that, at the bot.
toms of business cycles, steel out.
put usually rises more sharply
than pig iron output. but that
the two usually turn up together.
Such a rapid drop in untitled
orders is usually followed in due
course by lower prices for steel
scrap and the common stocks of
the steel companies. 1t strength.
ems the probability that the
price of such items of finished
steel as bars will eventually have
to be reduced.
Another point in the steel news
that is worth noting is that auto.
mobile body sheets show price
weakness. Whatever the talk may
be, motor manufacturers are buy.
ing very little steel.
In 1921 steel production fell to
33 per cent of normal. In October
it was still nearly 81 per cent.
The Washington times., 1931-12-14

according to the annual report of
international trade issued today
by the National Foreign Trade
Council.
It was pointed out that whole.
sale prices in the United States
have remained for five months
within about 2 per cent of the
index for last June, in contrast
with the drop Of II per cent in
the first six months of this year.
Contrast Significant
This stability is also in contrast
with the accumulated reduction in
average wholesale prices in the
United States of more than Is per
cent for the past two years.
The first requisite to world re-
covery is stabilization of prices,
the council asserts, and the most
favorable aspect of the present
situation is that in most other
countries their fall is slackening
or has already ceased.
The general average of prices
in European countries = has
dropped off this year by less than
10 per cent or about two-thirds
of the rate of reduction expert
enced in 1890.
In Spain, Austria, Chile and the
Union of South Africa prices have
slightly increased over last years
averages, and a slight upward
turn in prices has also begun to
equalize the situation in Great
Britain and other nations which
went off the gold standard in
September.
Export Prices Drop
World export prices, however,
as distinguished from these do
mestic wholesale prices, have
dropped this year a little more
sharply than they did last year,
the ruling prices for the chief
articles entering into international
trade being is per cent lower for
the first nine months of this year
than for the corresponding period
of 1880. compared with a drop
of about IL per cent between
1929 and 1880.

Curb stocks roamed over a wide
territory in the first half of to-
days hectic session, with erratic
bulges and dips throwing more
or less confusion over the general
situation. However, net changes
were not at all pronounced in
either direction, so that the ques-
ton of whether or not the down.
ward trend of prices had been
definitely checked still remained
in abeyance.
Utilities churned around in ner.
vous fashion. Among the issues
to show up best in the recovery
were American Gas and Electric,
Brazil Traction, American and
Foreign Power Warrants, Consoli.
