FIGHT FOG, HEAVY RAIN
n INNNENa VHl ~ INV
BY JOHN T. MEANY

ST. JOHNS Newfoundland, Aug.
PA nonstop race between the
American monoplanes to cross the
Atlantic was ended in Newfound-
land Tuesday night when one plane
crashed on Placentia bay while the
other had to make a safe landing
at an obscure point.
The huge Sesqui plane, Emma Jet
tick, piloted by the Norwegians,
Thor Solberg and Carl Petersen,
cracked up at Darby'S Harbor, Para
disc sound, on Placentia bay, it was
learned this morning. The ship was
wrecked, but the two men escaped
injury. They we're forced to come
down at a. m, eastern standard
time, Tuesday, after fighting through
the darkness of a heavy rain.
The monoplane Green Mountain
Boy, piloted by Clyde Allen Lee and
John Bochkon, made safe land
ing at Burgeo, about 300 miles from
Harbor Grace. Lee and Bochkon,
who flew Tuesday from Barre. VT,
landed at $50 p. m, eastern stand
ard time, Tuesday, and took off
again at a. m. today for Harbor
Grace.
Meet Stormy Weather
Fatigued after their return here
Lee and Bochkon rested today pre-
paratory to renewing their flight to
Oslo, Norway, tonight or early
Thursday.
The f1iers reached Harbor Grace
at 1920 a. m. eastern standard
time) from near Burego, where they
spent Tuesday night in their plane.
With good luck, they had sighted
the only safe landing place along
the coast Tuesday night, a three
miles long beach of soft sand over
which the monoplane bumped in
safe landing.
Both planes met with stormy
weather as they few northeastward
toward Harbor Grace. The rain and
fog prevented persons on the ground
from seeing them, save for about
half a dozen times, and then the
planes could not be identified def
nitely.
Giant flares were burned at the
Harbor Grace flying field through
out the night, but before dawn it
became apparent that both planes
were down.
Newfoundland aviatorS were pre-
pairing to take off in a search of the
island when word was received from
both teams. Solberg and Petersen
sent word that beyond few bruises
and scratches they were not hurt
in the crash.
Terrain Dangerous
Solberg and Petersen took off
from New York Tuesday morning
at 4:43 eastern standard time, in
tending to stop at Harbor Grace
only long enough to refuel before
heading across the great circle for
Europe
At 9:18 a. m. the Green Mountain
boy was in the air from Barre, and
prospects Of a transatlantic race
we're bright until stormy weather
developed between Nova Scotia and
Newfoundland.
From the Nova Scotian coast on
eastward, the two planes encoun-
tered weather of the most severe
sort. Planes were sighted along the
southwest coast of Newfoundland
late in the afternoon, but there was
no means of identifying them.
Then, with the coming Of dark
ness, they disappeared, except for
the drone of motor heard over two
or three coastal towns during the
evening.

His income reduced sharply by
laws passed during the special
session of the state legislature, Tim
othy P. Sexton, Marion county
treasurer, prepared today to ask
the county council for an additional
appropriation to pay deputies for
collecting delinquent taxes.
While Sexton did not state the
amount he may ask, some estimates
place it as high as $4,000.
Before the new laws, Sexton re-
ceived 6 per cent of the 10 per cent
penalty imposed for tax delinquency,
but this is reduced to 2 per cent. He
asserts that he can not pay collect
ing deputies from such a share of
the penalty.

INCREASE IN STEEL
DEMAND REPORTED
Miscellaneous Lines Account for
Moderate Advance in Post
Labor Day Orders.
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
New York, September 10 P1.-A
moderate post-Labor day increase in
steel demand was reported, accounting
for gain to 14la per cent capacity in
ingot production during the past week.
Orders placed were confined to miscel-
laneous lines. however, with demand
from automobile manufacturer and
railroads restricted. Increases in struc-
tural awards reflected Government
financed projects. Prices held steady
for finished steel, while quotations on
scrap continued to advance. According
to some trade ideas. earlier hopes for
price advances in the fourth quarter
have been abandoned, and a continua-
tion of current quotations is expected,
with the possibility that recent conces-
sions in sheets may be eliminated. De-
mand for pig iron showed further mod
crate increases with prices unchanged.
Copper advanced to Ga for electro
lytic delivered in the Connecticut valley
to the end of the year, in sympathy
with sharp gain in the export quo
tation. Active foreign buying was re-
ported early in the week. but this tap
cred off later when London reacted.
In the domestic market new business
was restricted, but shipments against
old contracts were said to have i'm
proved and producers were holding firm
on expectations of renewed buying.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, September 10.-More
talk Of reaction was to be found in
todays brokers letters, although a
serious setback was not anticipated.
Hamershlag, Borg & Co.-The rally
certainly appears to have gone far
enough without a setback, and 1t Is
reasonable to expect further reaction
before a resumption of strength makes
its appearance Nevertheless, it would
not be surprising 10 see one more ap-
proach of the highs before this reaction
can assume large proportions. We ad-
wise the tightening OF commitments at
these levels.
Redmond g. Co-The market has now
reached a point where more tangible
evidence of business Improvement
should develop if the advance in secu-
rites prices is to continue. Although
many stocks obviously were carried
down too far in the panicky liquidation
last Spring, the subsequent sharp rise
appears to have gone lone way toward
discounting substantial pickup in FAN
trade. which has not yet heen felt in
the so-called basic industries.
Jackson Bros, Boesel & Co.-Al
though it now appears probable that
the reaction will run into the lew week.
we see no reason for expecting a major
reaction and recommend a policy of
scale buying in the issues previously
recommended.
Hornblower g. Weeks-Although the
untitled steel tonnage figures Of the
United States Steel Corporation, due
to be published at noon today. are likely
to exert a temporary influence Cn spec
ulative sentiment. we feel that from the
longer term viewpoint, the course of
steel operations during the coming
weeks should prove the more important
influence.
Frazier Jelke & Co.-The advance In
stocks since the middle Of July has
fired the imagination Of the investing
public. To a large extent it has been
due to a tremendous change in psvchol-
ogy The enthusiasm probably will not
be maintained at white heat throughout
the entire Fall, but we doubt very much
If it will cool as quickly and as 6eci-
sively as some of those who are selling
stocks profess to believe.
Shields & Co.-Belief is growing that
the market is entitled to fair correc-
tive reaction, but there is no indication
of any severe shakeout as yet.

SHORTS ON EXCHANGE
REDUCE CONTRACTS
Total as of September l Was
1884, ,647 Shares, Official
Report Reveals.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, September 10.-The
total short interest in the New York
Stock Exchange as Of September l
was announced today at 1,934.6
shares, a decrease of 246,9 ,952 shares
from the total of August l.
This reduction of the short interest
brought the total amount of stock in
short accounts to the lowest level since
the Stock Exchange started in tabula-
ton more than year ago.
The largest total in the monthly tab
ulation reported this year was $500, ,265
shares on February l. In view of the
sharp rise in August, brokerage quar-
ters were inclined to regard the reduc-
ton in the short interest as compara-
lively modest. In July, when traders
were inclined to be skeptical of the
rise, there was a small increase in the
short account. but evidently bears
later became more wary.
Some brokers have regarded the re-
duction of the short interest as weak
ening the markets technical position,
although it is pointed out that some
short selling has been indicated in re-
cent sessions. and the short interest has
presumably increased since September |.

Utilities Dividends Record.

NEW YORK, September 10 (Spe-
cial) Holders of public utility shares
have gone through the depression with
only a nominal cut in their dividends.
Except for the reductions by Common
wealth Edison, Peoples Gas and Detroit
Edison, all of the important operating
companies have held to the rates pre-
vailing in 1929 Comparatively few of
the holding companies have been forced
to lower their rates, and those cuts have
been confined mainly to their common
stocks. Fewer than half dozen of
those that are solvent have passed their
dividends. This record compares strik-
ingly with what has happened to rail-
road and industrial dividends in the
past two years.
