fact that it opens the inter-high

This duel, bringing together
two of the most formidable
wrestlers in this country. heads
a program studded with top
notchers.
Both Matmen Powerful
All admit that Shikat and
Steele represent the best in
wrestling technique and Drawn.
Both have hearts Of iron and
bodies Of oak and neither sur.
renders without a bitter fight.
OF the two, Shikat is perhaps
the most popular with local
fans. This is because Shikat is
so Skillful that he actually
hides some of his rough work.
Steele is more open with his
roughness and the fans have
Missed him many times here.
However, he is also one of the
greatest grapplers Of the present
age. Shikat is aware Of that fact
and has high opinion Of Steele'S
ability.
Both in TirtOp Shape
Both are in tiptop shape for
tonight's fray, which is expected
to lure a capacity throng to the
Auditorium. Shikat has been
training here for the past few
days while Steele took part in
several minor bouts this week to
keep in condition. He wants to
beat Shikat, this being the third
meeting between the pair. Each
has one victory to his credit.
Supporting the main event
will be q bout between Sander
SzabO, the tactful Hungarian,
and John Katan, the powerful
Canadian. The ease with which
SZabO polished off DOC" viii
son stamps him as favOrite.
The good Doctor" will grace
tonight's card, opposing Bruce
Hanson. "Tigah" Nelson, that
old brave, faces George Hagen
and Mike Romano meets Abo

called at $3.50 o'clock and Pro

NEW YORK, October Boy and

changed from last week, American
Machinist reports. Occasional indica-
tions Of betterment are noted. Most of
the present buying is being done by the
Federal Government. School buying

pal governments share the seeming
apathy Of industry.
New York reports q total Of around
$4,000 from Lycoming, continued hold
up on the orders for subway equipment
and a few Government sales Indus
trial demand is lacking; used tools do
not go even at sacrifice prices, and in
quirieS, with one exception, are I'M
changed. Cincinnati also has one
source of cheer in inquiries, another in
orders, but the great proportion Of
builders and dealers there have noted
no change. New England has an auto
mobile list, Government lathe orders
and some hope of foreign business and
the possibility that the Government
will take still more. San Francisco
also has sold some tools to the Gov
eminent and has some hope for the
near future.
Chicago feels optimistic, but has little
to back it except increases in small
tool sales. Detroit is making some sales
to tool and die shops and expects to
sell automobile builders when and If
the new models take hold late this
Fall indianapolis reports dealers in
small tools best situated. sales being to

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK. october 2e.-Some
brokerage house commentators took q
negative attitude toward the stock mar
ket today, pointing out that the av-
erages we're drifting toward levels where
support should appear.
Hornblower & weeks-we expect in
vestment and speculative sentiment to-
ward the market to gradually improve
when the full force Of the plans now
being formulated to improve the imam
cial and industrial conditions begin TO
make themselves felt.
Redmond e. Co.-The action of the
market suggests that some other az
verse development was hanging over It,
the nature of which Is not yet ap-
parent The tape seems TO indicate
lower prices. and we see little incentive
in buying stocks until either effective
support develops or it becomes apparent
that what looks like necessitous hqul-
datlon is completed.
jackson Bros. Boesel & Co.-The in
dustrial averages have now receded as
far as they should recede II the reaction
which started last week is nothing more
than q technical retracement OF the
ground gained since the announcement
of the Hoover economic program on
October 5.
Smith. Graham & Rockweu-Ihere
seems To be 50 little in sight that could
bring a sustained recovery that 1t is
probable the market VIII continue to
seek lower levels.
Shields a. Co.-The manner In which
prices faded away on heavier offerings
early yesterday evidenced the very
dangerous technical position OF the
market that necesSitates hlgnly eau
tious trading policy. Win no Gao news
over the next few days, however, re-
sumption OF the rally would seem likely.
p. Hutton & Cove are inclined
to be hopeful. though not confident. to-
ward the market.

NEW YORK. October 9s.-Reports
from metal-conSunling industries are Q

Gains In Orders.
Moderate gains in orders for bars,

plates and pipe. with the net result
slightly favorable for some mills and
districts. Steel plant operations have
expanded little at Pittsburgh, Youngs-
town and Birmingham, but are virtually
stationary at Chicago. Cleveland and
elsewhere. For the country as whole
the ngot production rate may be meas
ured at % per cent Of capacity. COM

The automobile industry, for ex.
ample, has been going forward on its
new production schedules more slowly
than expected, and some steel orders
looked for this month win not be placed
until November. The farm implement
industry Is taking steel a little more
freely for new manufacturing programs,
but has not yet become an important
factor in mill schedules. The slump in
takings Of structural steel for construc-
ton work is still pronounced
Railroads, though placing some rail
and track supply orders, are so plainly
disappointed over the Interstate Conn
merce Commissions decision in the
freight-rate case that the extent Of
their Fall purchases Is in doubt. Mean
while the steel industry appraises the
proposed freight-rate increases as too
small to aid the carriers materially or
to stimulate buying by general con-

become effective.
