Dealers said producers and feed

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-price cut
ting appeared yesterday in q key steel
product, opening what some trade
authorities called the most important
rift in major industrial prices since
the 1887 slump In business and raw

Leading producers slashed the price
Of cold rolled sheets 81 a ton, lowering
one Of the chief materials purchased
by the motor industry and an out
standing product of steel mills.
A leading Independent was said in
steel circles to have taken the initia-

motor industry just before United
States Steel Corp. agreed with c. l. O.
representatives on an indefinite ex-
tension Of the union contracts it signed
q year ago.
Whether the price cutting on sheets
signaled the outbreak of a more in

most Wall Streeters by surprise.

States Steel negotiations, few had
looked for a break in prices.
Competition for business in sheets
was said to have been particularly
severe lately because Of expansion Of
capacity in that line the last few
years to supply the growing motor
and allied markets for lighter steel
products
Consequently. some trade observers
thought the cut on cold-rolled sheets
under pressure from the motor in
dustry might turn out to be an isolated
change, dictated by special conditions.
Prices on most finished steel products
remained unchanged Previously some

GARDNER RUM0RS

Gay Says False Reports on
Selection of Chief Are
'Unfortunate."
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 10.-The name Of
o. Max Gardner for the proposed sala-
ried presidency of the New York Stock
Exchange was tossed into the Ex-
changes reorganization proceedings
yesterday and caused stir within its
inner councils.
Charles r. Gay, the present presi-
dent, was prompted to address a letter
to the Exchanges membership assert
ing reports as to the selection Of
any one can have no basis
in fact" since the proposed amend
ment's to the Exchanges constitution
had not yet been adopted, nor the
new board Of governors chosen.
He said it was unfortunate that any
reports should be circulated at this
time"
Gardner, former Governor of North
Carolina. who is now practicing law
in Washington. has been strongly
urged for the new Stock Exchange
position by certain interests within
the Exchange, SO strongly as to lead
to published report that his selection
was assured
Commenting from Washington,
Gardner said the post had not been
offered him. that he was not and
had not at any time been a candidate
for it.
The proposed post of paid presi-
dency, which has been urged by
S. E. c. Chairman Douglas, was re-
Gently approved in principle by the
Governing Board, when 1t selected .
committee to draft amendments to
the constitution providing for 1t. as
we'll as other changes in administra-
ton.
The amendments are expected to be
submitted to the membership in about
two weeks, and an additional two
weeks permitted for voting on them.
While most stock exchange circles
have expected they would be adopted,
there Is known to be considerable op-
position.
At present the exchange selects its
chief from among its members, and
he serves without compensation. The
new salaried post, which has been
called Gear Of Wall Street." is ex-
pected to carry a salary of from
$50,000 to $4,000 year. Gay has
announced he will not be . candidate
when his term expires May 8, and if
the proposed post is created the "czar"
is expected to take Office after that
date.
The official selection, however, is ex-
pected to be made by the new Board
of Governors, nominations for which
are not due until April IL.

To Forecast Weather.

scorned upon by julius Brown, high

the man a snow pillow and he'll tell you
whether to get out your snow shoes or
your rubbers. Julius can scent snow
storm several days before it happens
without even glancing at the ther-

skyward He hasn't missed foretelling
a snow storm this winter and recently
mourned to the world in general,
"Doggone it! We're going to have a

though it sounds rather silly to forecast
the weather with a snow plow, Mr..
Brown explains it's all very simple.
Every time one of the plows breaks
down, Rock county has a snow storm
the next day. 1T never fails" the prog
nosticator predicts with sigh. Every
time something happens to one of the
plows we have a heavy snow before
the pillow is fixed. The plows will be
running like clockwork, but just as soon
as a little snowflake begins to think of
falling, one of the ploWs acts up

$1,000 in Jackpot
of Missing Heirs

Ortonville-EstateS in Big Stone
County have their missing heirs as a
heading by that title shows in the
county's annual financial statement and
only one of the missing heirs has
showed up to claim his share within
the last several years, as far as records
have been able to determine. Today
money due missing heirs totals $1,000 O6.
The total represents handful of es-
tates, records of which are buried in old
courthouse files until some one comes
along to claim and properly identify
himself. The one heir to claim part of
an estate in 1887 was William Nord-
meier, for 81 years resident of Fari-
bault. He put in his claim for $80.34
as beneficiary to the estate of Fred
Nordmeier last January, 16 years after
probation proceedings had been COM
pleted. In the usual procedure, if heirs
are not found during a period of q
years after notices have been filed, the
estates revert to the state.
