NEW YORK, Sept. 4.-F
Buyers put the brakes on
the skidding stock market
Wednesday, but not in time
to prevent a further loss in
stock values of around $415,-
600, 900.
In a churning session that
broke all records for the
breadth of trading and saw
$780, 900 shares change hands
and establish a new high for
volume since May 81, 1910, the
average price of stocks on the
New York Stock Exchange slid by
a fraction of a point into a new
low for more than a year. Only
a late, sharp rally prevented a
greater forenoon dip from holding
up to the close.
Losses which ranged in the ex-
IRENE to $11 a share nevertheless
were only a shadow of Tuesdays
when the market suffered its most
violent break since 1880 and a loss
in stock values estimated by staff

SWALLOWS AND SWIFTS

l. AMI SWlC 1S -
The swallows that come back
to Capistrano, famed in story and
song, have nothing on the chimney
swifts that come back to Batson-
Lewis, right here along the Cape
Fear.
You probably know the story
and the song, too, for that matter
about the Capistrano swallows.
Every spring they fly back from
their winter quarters to the San
Juan de Capistrano mission in
California, and every autumn they
fly away, again. They have been
doing this for more years than the
story has been told and the song
has been sung.
Well, the .Capistrano swallows
deserve their fame, but it's high
time somebody wrote a story ano
a song about the Batson-Lewls
