MARKET SLIDES.
| TO 7 POINTS.
ON STEEL DROP.
Trend Low From Start
In Short Session
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 6 G.N.SJ.
The stock market tumbled / to
more than 3 points in leaders and
as much as 7 in special instances
today, under a furry of selling
touched off by a further sharp
decline in steel operations in the
Pittsburgh area.
The trend was lower from the
opening gong, expressing Wall
Street disappointment over the
markets inability to carry through
from yesterdays firSthour bulge
on rumors of further dollar deval-
uation.
SOME SUPPORT
Selling picked up in volume mid
way through the abbreviated seS-
sion, as Pittsburgh operations for
next week were estimated at a
new low of "a per cent, or 7
points lower on the week.
Steel shares, followed by mo-
tors, coppers, chemicals and rails,
led the way downward. Some sup
port was met in the second hour.
Meanwhile, the dollar was under
further pressure in foreigner
change dealings. Most leading
alien currencieS went into new
high ground for the year, with the
British pound crossing the SIS level.
This was in the face of Washing
ton denials yesterday that any
change in its gold-buying price was
contemplated.
GOLD SHARES FIRM
Gold shares continued to show
independent firmness as the dollar
lost ground. Gains, which ran to
point at the start, were later re-
duced, however.
Steels bore the brunt of the sell
ing. U. S. Steel and Bethlehem
tumbled more than 3 points before
meeting support. youngstown and
Republic fell a point, and National
Steel about 2.
Allied Chemical slumped 7, Du
Pont almost 3, Union Carbide
slightly more and Air Reduction

over $40 per ton of ships, Japan at
only 81. Why the difference? Nei-
ther country is favored on fuel costs.
The answer lies mainly in wage
rates and freight loaded. Pay on
Japanese ships is about one-quarter
of that on United States and French
vessels. Great Britain gets along
with average wages, fairly low sub
sidy, but a high volume of freight.
Besides high wages, our trouble is
our inability to get the freight.
Banking, insurance, and other fea-
lures of foreign trade are extreme
ly complicated. In this maze of re-
lationships, we have lost our shrewd
Yankee ancestors art in getting the
freight.
New Era VS.. Fundamental
With the war eagles screaming
everywhere the administration wants
to build up our merchant marine.
1t gave American shipping the Mer-
chant Marine Act of 1886 and put
Mr.. Joseph P. Kennedy at the head
a the new maritime commission.
Under the Act, our shipping compa-
nies may secure newly-built Amer
lean vessels by putting up about
one-third of their construction cost.
This alone will not solve the proD-
lem, however So the government
further agrees to foot the bill of
differences between the American
and foreign operating costs.
But bribery" VIII never serve as
a substitute for efficiency. High
wages and short hours can tempor-
arily be obviated by taxation and
bounty; but only until other coun-
tries out-bounty us. Besides, our
people are now not "ship-minded"
We lack the initiative and courage
of our ancestors in getting the vol
ume of trade. The seafaring spirit
of early America is gone. Until there
is a rebirth of these qualities, I
advise readers not to buy shipping
securitiesl

The brilliant diplomatic career
of J. Theodore Mariner, above,
U. S. consul-general at Beirut,
Syria, was ended in a shower of
bullets fired at close range by
an Armenian, disappointed in
efforts to get a passport to go to

whose work at the Paris en-
bassy as charge d'affaires had
secured his reputation as one of
the more promising young
American diplomats, was 40
