New York, Oct 1o--(UP)--A smaller than expected gain in un- filled orders of the United States Steel corporation today precipitat- ed a wide open break on the stock exchange.
 Losses extended to 2 points and near the close tickers were unable to handle the heavy volume of selling orders.
 American Telephone and Teie- graph capital stock broke below par for the first time since the first week in August. It sold down to around 90, against previous close of 103 3-S.
 The break came unexpectedly few minutes after noon. Selling gained momentum until the close with the lowest prices for the day made at the finish. Support was lacking as disappointed traders throw their holdings overheard.

LAST LAUGH IS
 NOT ALWAYS THE
 BEST SAYS PROF
But the Man Who Laughs at Himself Is Really In- telligent Declares Rut- gers Man

New York;. oct 1o--(UP)-Hs who laughs last may or may no, laugh best, according to Professor Carl c. Guam of Rutgers, but he who laughs at himself Is really in. telligent. Anyone can laugh at tho mistakes of others. Guam said, hui the man who guffaws when he himself slips on a banana peel rates a plus in intelligence.
 But don't think you can get by with snicker. Here's what the professor has to say about 1t:
 Anatomicaliy or faciaiiy 1t has nothing graceful about 1t. It has no more of the smile in 1t than . postoffice slot. There is Q debascd intent about 1t that lacks the vir- iiity of sheer and none of the In. sanity of giggie, which at least is innocent in It's intent"

OF WHEAT
EXPECTED TO GAIN
Weather Continues to Be
Chief Price Factor in
Market, However.
BY FRANK I. WELLER,

The 5 to 6 cents advance in domestic
wheat prices is impressive, but not con-
elusive. On the strength Of 1t one i'm
portant grain firm ventures the opinion
that stocks and grains are on the road
to permanently higher levels, while
others prefer conservative purchases on
recessions until the dry sections Of the
Southwest receive good rains.
Although continued deterioration Of
the Winter crop is accepted somewhat as
an established fact, the market still is a
weather affair and prices move nerv-
ously and irregularly over fairly wide
range. 1t took only showers which did
not even lay the dust to start conSid-
erabe liquidation last week.
Commission houses are on both sides
of the market. one set trying to pre-
vent decline as the other grows active
on the selling side, in the belief that
the technical position has been weak
ened by the recent bulge. Outside buy
ing has lost some of its snap, probably
due to the uncertainty of bulls as to
whether late weakness in Liverpool re-
flected foreign skepticism concerning
American crop damage estimates.
However, advices indicate that lead
inging foreign millers will be good buy
ers with the opening of Great Lakes
navigation. Most import countries
have further lowered the amount of
native grain In milling mixtures and
the Department of Agriculture estimates
world supplies of wheat materially
under those of year ago.
Stocks in the principal exporting
countries outside of Russia, it says,
were $1,000 900 bushels lower than last
year on April /. A Paris dispatch
quoted George S. Minor, president Of
the Farmers National Grain Corpora
ton, as predicting the end Of the world
wheat crisis, on the basis of a light
American crop and increased European
demand. Rumors were circulated that
aggressive leadership is planned for the
grain market as the result of its recent
ability to absorb a world of profit
taking sales.
Nevertheless, some cannot forget that
American stocks, exclusive of merchant
mill holdings, are around $4,000, 900
bushels larger than last year and pre-
oict that, with the shortest Winter crop
imaginable, this country must 60 on the
export basis-if not now, at least by
September or october.
