STOCK PRICES SAG
IN LIGHT TRADING
Market Closes Easy, With
Fractional Changes in
Leading Issues.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, February A gentle
sag again appeared in the stock market
today, in a dull week end session. The
closing tone was easy, with NUMBER
of shares off fractions to more than
point, but the turnover approximated
only 100000 shares.
The selling was a mere trickle, while
sentiment, as indicated by brokerage
comment, was not bearish on the whole,
traders were still content to adhere to
the watchful waiting policy OF recent
weeks.
The weekly freight car loadings re-
port, showing a recession from the pre-
Vious week of 24,346 cars. was about as
expected. and failed to bring important
selling into the carriers, inasmuch as
about two-thirds Of the recession was
in cGal which was effected by unsea-
sonayly warm weather.
Selling in Tobaccos.
Allied Chemical and Case lost as
much as two points, but those recess
sions were exceptional. The recent
selling of tobacco shifted to Reynolds
B, which lost point. American Tele-
phone was again under pressure, down
more than point. Declines of point
or so appeared in Union Pacific, Santa
Fe, Westinghouse, American Can and
United States Steel preferred.
The utilities were steadier than they
have been of late. Public Service Of
New Jersey rallied a fraction and Con-
solidated Gas and North American
sagged only slightly. General Motors
and du Pont eased little, as did
United States Steel common. The New
York fractions, which reflected some
bullish activity the other day, eased off.
The gold mining shares remained firm
in sympathy with further bullishness
in that group in London. Gains, how
ever, were limited to fractions.
Week end reports from the steel in
duStry indicated some leveling off the
upward tendency noted earlier in the
week. A flrmer tendency in the scrap
market was regarded as a good sign,
tending to offset recent heavinesS of
finished steel prices.
The monthly figures on the short in
terest in the market appeared after
the close, indicating that the markets S
technical position was being well main
tanned. The short interest increased
from 1.796,976 shares on January 3 to
1,845,047 on January So While this
short position is small compared to a
year or so ago, brokers pointed out
that it was substantial in view Of the
current volume Of trading.
Short Selling.
In the few sessions since January
80 there have been signs of additional
short selling, particularly in the electric
power issues. One factor which some
brokers feel may make the short tabu-
lation appear larger than it is, how
ever, has been a tendency in some
quarters to liquidate stock through short
selling and later complete the transac-
tion through delivery of long stock
already owned. The purpose of that,
presumably, is to cover up real liquida-
ton.
In commodities, cotton eased a little,
finishing with losses of 25 to 80 cents
a bale. Foreign exchanges were most
1y steady to firm, with sterling cables
quoted one-quarter of a cent higher
at $340.

Hard Liquor Must Be Served
At Tables, Say New
Regulations

NEW YORK, Nov. 10
GN.S.). - The old fashioned
saloon is dead as far as New
York State is concerned.
Under regulations for wine
and spirit sales announced to-
day by Edward P. Mulrooney,
chairman Of the State alcoholic
beverage control board, the
saloon in any form and drink
ing at bars are prohibited.
Only service bars are authorized
for establishments where liquor is
dispensed.
Liquor Sales at Tables
The people must take their
liquor sitting down or face COM

Mulrooney warned.
Defending the regulations, par
ticularly the prohibition against
upright drinking, Mulrooney said
significantly:

system doesn't work, States may
go to complete control Of the

All wines and spirits sold for
consumption on premises, the reg

railroad trains.
While patrons must consume
liquor at tables, it is not necessary
that they order a meal in order
to purchase a drink.
Bar sales of beer, however, au-
thorzed under the beer control
law adopted last summer. may
continue, leaving beer-drinkers
the only ones who may enjoy
"stand up" drinking privileges
after December S, when the liquor
regulations become effective.
The rigid rules laid down by
the alcoholic beverage board also
provide for complete elimination
of the saloon as it was known in
anti-prohibition days.
Swinging Doors Banned
Restaurants, hotels, and clubs
dispensing wines and spirits are
not permitted to have swinging
doors, back rooms, side entrances,
or shattered or curtained win

The rules also forbid any par
titions which might obstruct a
complete view of the premises or

An Inflated venture of Wall
Street bankers, who tried to
Ego Hollywood" by invading
the motion picture industry,
was revealed today by Harley
L. Clarke, Chicago capitalist,
at the Senate banking inquiry.
Clarke told how he secured the
aid of Albert H. Wiggin, former
head of the Chase National Bank,
to wrest control of Fox Films from
William Fox. It proved a costly
battle, ultimately bringing bank
ruptcy to the private banking
firm Of Pynchon & Co. and heavy
losses to other participants.
PrOfited i'm Own Fields
Clarke, who amassed a fortune
in the public utility field, and
Wiggin. who took a kings ransom
out of Wall Street, struck finan-
cial toboggan when they tried to
become movie cars.
Clarke revealed a group of New
York bankers, including Wiggin,
first helped him acquire a num-
Der of movie machinery compa-
MES. The group consisted Of Pyn-
chon & Co., West & Co., w. S.
Hammons & Co. and Virgins
Sherman Corporation. It was Pyn-
chon & Co. that crashed in 1881
with debts of $4O,00O,OO0.
Clarke'S first step toward be-
coming movie king was to or
ganize the International Pro-
jector Corporation in November,
1925. The bankers financed it
by buying $2.5OO,OOO of the cor
poration's preferred stock for ST.
1000.
Bankers Got Bonus
He revealed he had to give
the bankers a bonus of $4,000
shares of common stock before
they agreed to buy the preferred
stock. He called it a condition
of SALE" He was asked:
$50 the bankers got three
shares of common stock with
each share of preferred stock?"
He replied:
"YeS, sir"
On this first deal the bankers
profited nicely. Clarke was sat-
isfied, too. The funds supplied
by the bankers were used to &C

Iitvinoff was with the Presi-

Although it was emphasized
that no serious hitch had oc-
