Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, May Ia. (U.Pl -
Stocks slipped into new low ground
today. Persistent selling in the
leaders had placed them in a posi-
ton where only a small volume of
selling sent them to new lows.
Greatest weakness appeared in
the railroad stocks on variety of
unSettling rumors and ssuch lead
ers as New York Central, Union
Pacific. Atchison, Erie and the
Missouri Pacific issues sold at their
lowest prices in 25 years or more
on losses of a fraction TO more
than a point.
Weakness was not confined to
these issues, however American
Telephone. premier investment is
sue, breaking more than a point
to below the 95 level, the lowest
price at which it has sold since
1921. United States Steel came
within a fraction of its bear mar
ket low of 262s on a setback of a
point.
Pressure was greatest in the first
hour of trading, losses of frac-
ton to several points being forced
throughout the list. Selling died
up somewhat toward the close but
few issues were able to rally more
than slightly from their early lows
The most important development
was the annual report of the Stand
ard Oil Company of New Jersey
which said that use of past earn
ings for the payment of dividends
cannot continue indefinitely and
that there must be an improvement
in business to justify the continu-
ance of the present rate of i'm
provement. The company earned
"a cents a common share last year,
against $1.65 a share in the previous
year, compared with the annual
dividend requirements of 81 a share.
The stock was a point lower today.
LOS ANGELES, May 14.-U.P)-

tive trading at the halliday session
of the Los Angeles stock exchange
today.

Three girls from small town,
who are drawn into New York S
night life through their connection
with radio, form the basis of the
story. Two of them seek diversion
in wild parties while the third en-
deavors to keep up home for
them. She falls in love with man
unhappily married but who is un-
able to get a divorce. In quar-
rel with his wife the husband &C
cidentally kills her and flees with
the third sister.
A thrilling chase in which radio
has a prominent part, causes their
arrest but their love triumphs even
though prison sentence interrupts
it.
A smashing drama, which has
been a heavy box office attraction,
THE Trial of Vivienne Ware, is
the Sunday attraction. This play
also has a strong cast headed by
Joan Bennett in the leading role
and supported by Skeets Gallagher.
Zasu Pitts, Lillian Bond, Donald
Cook and Noel Madison.
A beautiful girl accused of Slay-
ing her wealthy lover, provides the
opportunity for a dramatic sensa-
ton, relieved by the comedy roles
assigned to Gallagher, Miss Pitts
and Herbert Mundin.
During the course of the trial, a
climax is injuected when a knife is
thrown at one of the witnesses
