STOCKS SUFFER HEAVY LOSSES Many Stocks Make New Lows for the Year. NEW YORK, Nov. 26. —After Irregular hanges at the opening of the stock market today, many stocks were subjected to pressure, heavy offerings causing sharp declines in a number of issues and forcing them down to new low records for the movement. Atlantic Gulf, Mexican Petroleum, Sinclair Oil and Crucible Steel were the weakest features. The volume of selling In these Issues had an unsettling influence all through the list. Mexican Petroleum, after opening % at 161%, broke to 156%. Sinclair OH was sold In large blocks, declining % to 24%. Crucible Steel broke 5 points to S9. Southern Pacific, after advancing at the start to 113%, dropped to 112. Steel common rose % to 82% and then broke to 81%. New Haven, after an opening gain of % to 22%, declined to 21%. Baldwin was In supply from the start, falling over two points to 94%. Texas Cos. yielded 1% to 48. Studebaker declined 1% to 44%; General Motors 1 point to 15, and United States Rubber, 1% to 65%. Market opinions were mixed in regard to the selling that caused the sharp breaks. The general impression was that most of the selling represented offerings for abort account, but some insisted the supply came from sources that had taken over stocks early In the week, and were finding a market for these Issues. American Woolen became a strong feature, advancing from 66% to above 70. Baldwin, which declined to 94%, rallied to 95%. Rock Island was strong, advancing 1 point to 31%. Steel common came back to 82%. Sinclair rallied to 24%. TWIST! STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—Twenty industrial stocks averaged 76.65. down .55 per cent. Twenty active rails average 78.43, down .15 per cent. CLEARING HOUSE STATEMENT. NEW YORK, Nov. 26.—Subtreasury debit, $1,454,178; exchanges, $924,129,096; balances, $94,355,240.

The South was an active seller and local traders unloaded a lot of cotton they bad bought early In the week. The pressure carried prices too far. however, and a rush of shorts to cover with a little outside buying rallied the list about 25 points from the bottom at the end of the first twenty minutes.

OPPOSE STREET PAYMENT PLAN Say Property Owners and City Should Share Cost. Opposition to the proposed bill to put the total coat of street resurfacing upon the city Instead of upon the property owners, where it now rests, was expressed today by George Leroaux, president, and Mark H. Miller, member of the board of public works. Both said that If the present system Is to bo changed they favor putting 50 per cent of the cost on the property owners and 50 per cent upon the city, which Is done in a number of large municipalities of the country. The proposed bill is being sponsored by John L. Benedict, Indianapolis attnrney and representative in the General Assembly. Resurfacing and roatnrenance of permanently Improved streets would be financed by municipal funds In cities of more than 100,000, affer the first cost of paving has been borne by abutting property owners, by the terms of the bill. A special levy of 10 cents on each SIOO of taxable property would raise the $600,000 estimated annual needs of carrying on the repair work, according to Mr. Benedict. Other provisions of the bill will call for creation of a special resurfacing and general repair fund and considerable additions to the municipal asphalt plant and working force.

BGF2S POSSIBILITY OF POLITICAL MACHINE Fear that by placing the responsibility of doing nil the resurfacing work and the direct expenditure of $600.0'- a year i upon the board of works would'create j the possibility of the establishment and •• • 'miiatlon of a tremendous political ! machine was expressed by Mr. Leniaux. ■ The work which Mr. Benedict's bill evidently would be intended to provide be done by the city Is now being done by ■lx private contractor*, and It would be necessary for the city to add hundred* of empVvyea to Its present pay rolls If it were to do all resurfacing, Mr. Leniaux pointed out. The board president stated that he is in favor of giving the city the power to bid ngnlnst contractors on resurfacing Job* a* Is done In other big litles, notably Detroit, with great success. With this provision in the proposed bill it would be possible for the city to bold contractors dawn to the lowest possible prices and at the sauio time do oil the work iteelf or give that share of it which the city 1* not abie economically to handle to the private contractors. If a special fund for street resurfacing Is raised, Mr. Leniaux favors making the levy for this purpose upon land alone, asserting that be does not believe that personal property should lie compelled to bear the expense of enhancing real estate values. BENEDICT CITES ITS ADVANTAGES. i In speaking of the advantage* afforded under the bill, Mr. Benedict pointed out Its elimination of controversies and remonstrances which tie up thoroughfares and the more regular Improvement o' - streets. The bill Is not an administration ! mas sure, according to Mayor Charles U'. I Jewett, who says the present laws are ■ sufficient to care for the city * streets | and that under the operation of the bib the city's treasury would be emptied lu a short time. Surouel Ashby, corporation counsel, said such legislation would be unfair to many property owner* who already have paid for paving and resurfacing and would be forced to pay for improve- | rnent* beneficial to others, j The bill will be turned over to Aa- | rlstant City Attorney llarry E Turkey : for revision, according to Mr. Benedict J.
