STOCKS ARE FIRM
IN QUIET MARKET
Soft Spots Appear, but List
Acts Well Despite Un-
favorable News.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. March 2l.-Notwith-
standing many soft spots, the stock
market today was generally steady, with
show of strength in the railway
shares.
The market had a number of dis
couraging outside developments to APP
praise. First, there were increasing
signs of severe competition in the auto
mobile trade, particularly the low
priced field. Second, there was fur
ther falling off in the rate of steel
operations, estimated by the magazine
Steel at 2412 per cent against 231a a
week ago, with a larger demand for
structural steel the only hopeful sign.
Third, there was the uncertainty about
the tax legislation at Washington.
The market opened lower, although
only fractionally so, and was reaction
ary during the first hour, but thereafter
began to rally as buying came into the
railway group. The reaSsuring state,
ment by President Hoover as to RAILWAY
maturities helped and so did the evi
dence that the carriers were oenefltins
from the wage cut.
Higher prices for New York Central.
Chesapeake & Ohio, New Haven, Nor
folk g. Western and Illinois Central re-
fiected this more favorable attitude q
the part of traders toward the ~
Baltimore & Ohio preferred, on wi k
the dividend was omitted last W.
gained a point.
United States Steel started in with.
decline from Saturdays close, made 4
new low on the reaction under Al, ai{
then rallied. The preferred likewist
went to new low for the bear market
but came back quickly. The sams
could be said of American Telephone 81
Telegraph. All Of these stocks are sup
posed to harbor large short interest.
Utilities as a rule did not make as
good showing. Selling came into
North American and into other active
issues in that part of the list. General
Motors at 18 was at a new bear mar
ket low. On the other hand Allied
Chemical, American Can and Eastman
Kodak held firm after their early re-
cessions. Auburn Auto was lower, but
the other highly volatile issue, j. I.
Case, worked upward on what looked
like short covering. Kreuger & Toll
and associated issues were relatively in
active. The local fractions rallied, es-
pecially Brooklyn-M Manhattan Transit,
which sold of last week with the gen.
eral market.

REPORTS
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS.

NEW YORK, March 21.-The follow
ing is summary of important corpora
tion news prepared by the Standard
Statistics Co., Inc, New York, for the
Associated Press.
Weekly News Review.
Low prices on the stock exchange
last week followed the suicide of Ivar
Kreuger. This incident caused a sharp
decline in security values throughout the
world, which was furthered in our mar
kets by numerous reduced or omitted
dividends and by continued unfavor-
able business statistics. The actual
movement of the stock exchange, as
indicated by our price index for 80 stocks,
showed decline Of 46 points, dropping
to 637 on March 18 from 68.3 on
March IL.
Rejecting the decline in security
values, commodity prices as a whole
were soft. OF 40 commodities, ID de-
clined, while seven advanced and is
remained unchanged.
Revenue freight car loadings in the
week ended March totaled $50 ,439
cars, an increase Of 23,941 cars over the
previous week. This increase is about
half as great as the usual seasonal rise
following the Washington's Birthday
holiday. The only commodities to show
increases were miscellaneous freight,
merchandise in less than car lots and
forest products.
Electric power production In the week
ended March II rose against the usual
downward trend. Actual output, as re-
ported by the National Electric Light
Association, totaled 1888, ,452, 900 kilo-
watt hours, against 1,519,679,000 kilo-
wat: hours in the preceding week. As
compared to the corresponding week OF
last year, output declined 81 per cent,
Evening star., 1932-03-21

while in the preceoing week the de-
cline was 81 per cent.
Activity in the steel industry failed
to show any seasonal upturn, ingot pro-
duction dropping to approximately 251z
per cent of capacity from slightly better
than 2612 per cent in the preceding
week. Ii the like week of last year, 81
per cent of capacity was registered.
Automobile production failed to con-
tinue the advance initiated in the pre-
cediug week. According to Grams auto
motive reports, output totaled 34,587
units, which compares with 35,461 units
in the previous week and 60,709 in the
like 1880 week. 1t has been estimated
that March total passenger car business
will be little more than so per cent as
large as that of a year ago.

TO INVESTIGATE RELIEF
NEEDS OF COUNTY AUG. 10
Meeting Is Outcome of Personal
Survey by Congressman d. ].
Lewis Made Last Saturday
REPORTS ACUTE DISTRESS

A committee approved by Governor
Albert &C. Richie to investigate the
relief needs of this county will meet
with the County Commissioners and
an invited group of citizens next Fri
day afternoon, August 10, at two
o'clock in the Court House, Oakland
The meeting has been postponed
from tomorrow afternoon on account
of the illness of two of the members
of the committee.
This meeting is the outcome of a
personal survey of conditions in this
county by Congressman David j.
Lewis, who was in Oakland and other
county points last Saturday. He re-
turned to Cumberland with a report
of acute distress in the county, par
ticularly in the mining region.
Mr.. Lewis report is confirmed by
Mrs. E. z. Tower, chairman of the
local Red Cross activities, and George
D. Browning president of the Board
of County Commissions. Others arc
of the opinion that the report is some
what exaggerated, although realizing
that conditions here are serious. Dr.
George E. Clarke, health officer, is of
the opinion that the number of fam
lilies being supported at public ex-
pense could be greatly reduced, and
many residents of the county who
have given the matter serious thought
have expressed themselves at vari-
ance with Mr.. Lewis report of condi-
tions now existing.
Mr.. Lewis reported that there are
5000 children in Garrett county with
out proper clothing and shoes with
which to begin school in September

TO SHOW VALUABLE RAMS
AT SALE HERE SEPT. BIRD
Garrett County Ranks Second
In State In Production

Garrett county has sheep popula-
ton of about $4,000 head and ranks
second in the State in lamb and wool
production, according to John H. Car
ter, county agent. The lambs and
wool produced in this county bring in
around $4,000 to 100000 annually
and this money comes at a time when
few other farm products are being
sold, it was stated.
The nutritious grass and high alti-
tude of this region makes an ideal
combination for sheep, Mr.. Carter
said. "The CRASHED lambs of this
section enjoy high reputation in the
Baltimore, Jersey City and Pittsburgh
markets, and although they are SELL
ing low just now they are still paying
as we'll as anything else on the farm"
A series of five purebred ram shows
and sales is conducted annually to af-
ford Maryland sheepmen an opportu-
nifty to see and to obtain the right
kind of breeding rams. The fifth show
and sale of the series will be held in
Oakland on Saturday, September D,
and according to Mr.. Carter the rams
assembled for this occasion will COM
prise one of the best punches ever
seen together in this section.
"Flock owners are realizing that it
takes good rams and plenty of feed
to produce market topping lambs"
Mr.. Carter continued. "In times like
the present, more so than when lambs
are higher, the lambs from a good,
thick, low-set ram will command a
much higher cash price than thin,
small, scrubby lambs. Scrub lambs
will not only bring very low price
but it is hard to get buyers to take
them at any price," he concluded.
