Minor Matters Heard
By City Commission

A number of routine matters were
disposed of yesterday morning by the
city commissioners.
Lieut.. o. V. Thompson, of the po-
lice force, requested that the task
of selling city license tags be re.
moved from the police department
to the tax office. The matter was
taken under advisement.
The commissioners again refused
to finance a rat eradication cam
paign here for Miss Olive Furnivaf,
holding there are no funds in the
city treasury for such work.
They voted to advertise for sale
certain scrap iron which the city
has on hand.
Commissioner of Public Works j.
E. L. Wade reported that grill work
at Fifth and Market streets was
damaged Tuesday by a truck owned
by J.. r. Lynch, 311 North Seventh
street, and that the damage was
estimated at s68.50. Wade said he
had informed Mr.. Lynch that if he
would have the damage repaired he
would not care to prosecute the
matter.

sHARPEST SETBACK
SINCE NOVEMBER g
selling Appears To Generate
ch;efly In Professional
Trading Circles
~ FREDERICK GARDNER

INV YORK, Nov. 27-lR- The
INK nE" market broke out OF its le-
s'o oray Of the past few days with a
dseIS sses of / to 3 points were nu-
I 1n1s at the finish, particularly
nVt s+eels, aircrafts and miscelan-
il 'a,s industrials. This was the
s .Yarpest setback since the post
SIlal selling wave of Nov. 6.
e ~onorerage circles said the sell
D' oaempd to generate chiefly in
'ns~ossional trading circles and to
Fssect disappointment over the
'Sarket's inability to advance late
" Same market analysts, however,
in the adverse price trend
ssosb worries over possible new
lonsrcussions upon the United
s ststss from the world crisis. These
onaIns presumably arose from
acknowledgement in British cir
eIos Of heavy shipping losses and
a5nstrv damage, coupled with new
,roings of American aid.
The selling in shares was of
.omnaratively modest proportions,
sI.b9r,gb the turnover Of 845, 800
sbsres was the largest in nearly a
fortnight.
The Associated Press average
If 80 stocks dropped 8 of a point to
197 where it was the lowest since
nil. september, and as much as
A points under the level of a year
soo despite the big increase in in
J~rstrial production and corporate
nrofts in the past IL months.
Failure of the market to reflect
the upswing in business, Wall
Street analysts said, was the re-
silt of the uneasiness over the fu-
ture of the world and Uncle Sans
mart in it. Higher taxes to pay for
the huge armament program, and
possibility of higher costs, and new
government control measures to
speed defense, they said, made in
yestors wary. A stock exchange
membership sold for only $33, 900,
lowest since 1899.
At the same time earnings re-
ports and a flood of year end div
idend announcements provided a
bright picture of the industrial
profits trend of the recent past.
Westinghouse ordered a disburse-
ment Of 81 on the common shares,
bringing the total for the year TO
SITS a share, compared with $3.50
III 1899. Great Northern, however,
in ordering its first dividend since
the 81 payment in 1887, placed it
al only 50 cents, and Wall Street
had been inclined to look for a
duplication of the 1887 disburse-
ment. The stock dropped 3 IL
points.
Other news included announce
ment by Secretary Knox that $780,
o 100000 Of defense funds had been
allocated to development of naval
bases acquired from England. The
British trade report for October,
showed imports had risen to about
$780, DOC, 900, while exports dropped
of to only s93, 900, 600.
