ST0CKSARE FIRM
IN FINAL DEALINGS
Market Maintains Steady
Trend as Short Covering
Operations Appear.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 29-Although IL
had a major dividend casualty to ap-
praise, the stock market session was a
generally steady affair today. Omis-
sion of the dividend on Westinghouse
Electric common brought a brief furry
Of selling. but 1t soon subsided and
more stocks were fractionally higher
than lower at the close.
Trading, however. was entirely pro-
feSsional and the improvement, II IL
may be called that, was due to the COW
ering in Of contracts for the decline.
However. it did show that a point may
be reached at which even this market
becomes hardened to adversely.
A number of new weak spots were
uncovered during the early trading.
One of these was Proctor & Gamble,
which dropped TO new low under
heavy offerings. The latest news affect
ing the company was that there had
been large-scale ordering of its products
just before the new tax law went into
effect, but that. of course, was a tenn
parary affair. Directors are scheduled
to meet for dividend action July IL.
Other stocks which yielded to new
low levels included National Biscuit
and National Dairy Products. Compet-
tive conditions were suggested as a
reason for the selling in both cases,
but as far as Dairy Products was con-
cerned there was some talk about the
effect on the milk distributors of the
possible return of beer. Du Pont made
new low by fraction possibly re-
f1ecting concern over the General Mo-
tors dividend. The latter sold at its
old low during the first half Of the
session.
There was little change in the rail-
way list. Atchison sold only fraction
ally above the low point reached after
the dividend omission. It had been
expected that Delaware & Hudson
would act on the dividend today, but q
decision was postponed for a month
pending clearing of the political sit
uation and the earning trend. 1t Is
unusual for Delaware g. Hudson direc-
tors to hold any board meetings dur
ing the Summer. OF the low-priced
stocks New York Central acted the
best.
The steel shares had little chance of
improvement in the face Of the weekly
trade summary. The iron age put
operations down to Is per cent Of
capacity, the lowest in this depression.
U. S. Steel common and preferred sold
around their minimum prices, but in
very light trading A better showing
was made by those extremely specula-
tive issues, Auburn and ]. 1. Case, where
the short interest is most congested.
The probabilities are that contracts for
the decline have increased during the
last few weeks, and it Is this situation
that might bring about some sort OF re-
covery.

High Toll

Experience proves that most indus.
trial eye accidents are preventable, yet
statistics prove that industrial acct
dents are the cause of Is per cent Of
all blindness in the United States
This frightful toll of blindness gives
pause for sober thought.
This situation seems the more APP
palling because of the gratifying
progress made against blindness re-
sulting from infant diseases. In 20
years blindness from this source has
been reduced by one half. 1t is man.
ifest that this important work has
just begun.
When one reflects upon the enor-
nous number of babies who are eithc.'
born blind or become SO shortly after
birth, and upon the high rate of in
dustrial blindness. a realization of the
Importance of the preventive work
dawns on the mind.
That this work should be offset and
rendered in large degree negatory
by carelessness in handling industrial
machinery seems tragic indeed; that
it should be spoiled by improper or
defective machinery seems too horri-
BILE to think about.
Much depends on this generation
whether the next must carry the ire
mendous burden of large blind pop
ulation due to carelessness of workers
or the criminal negligence of en-
ployers.
