Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. 13.-The stock
market was beset with further sell
ing troubles today and leading issues
we're forced down fractions 10 z
points. There were a few wider
swings by inactives.
Resumption of operations after
Wednesdays holiday found bids re-
duced or Cancelled for many pivotal
stocks. A faint show of resistance
at the start soon gave way to more
persistent offering. Quotations were
around the lows in the forenoon.
Timid support came in later and
closing prices were above the worst
in the majority of instances.
Dealings picked up momentum
for brief interval, then slowed per-
ceptibly. Transfers Of around $780,
900 shares were the largest in about
two weeks
At the bottom today the Associ-
ated Press average of so issues was
back where it was last August.
Relapsing inclinations were at
tributed by brokers mainly to con-
tinued apprehension over Balkan
developments and fears an upset in
the Far East might be near at hand.
This, combined with taxes and other
war imponderables, accentuated
Wall Street bearishness. Hopeful
business items served as bolstering
influence here and there.
Among stocks, j. 1. Case was of
5 points at one time on a small
turnover. Prominent on the slipup
were United States Steel Bethlehem.

Imperial Valley press., 1941-02-26


Actually the &c asked for a story
of Imperial county, because agri-
culture admittedly is the backbone
of the valley. Without agriculture
and vast farming possibilities tbs
area would be as desolate as Lon
&don streets during an air raid.
Agriculture then is necessarily
Imperial Valleys biggest business.
Success of the valley economically
depends upon the stability of the
industry and therefore accounts Tor
the so-called shift in valley fam
crops.

tinuous because valley farmers, like

Coincident with the trend toward

toward a greater Sterilization OF

that livestock must be considered as
a vital part in making the lot Of
the small farmer a favorable one.

CHICAGO, June II. - Federal
Judge Philip L. Sullivan today
ruled that the fair labor standards
act does not apply to the 1000
employees of warehouses operated
by Goldblatt Brothers. Inc, a de-
cision that may have far reaching
affect upon the business of retail
ing in the nation.
The question was taken TO the

sion oil the department Of labor,
which charged that the employees
were engaged in interstate COM
merce and petitioned for court

violating the act.
In commenting upon the gov

transported goods from several

caSionally reshipped them 10 a

said:
