LIST SINKS WHEN .NEEDED SUPPORT FAILSTDAPPEAR Tails Particularily Succumb to Pressure In Early Dealings, NEW LOWS ARE REACHED Tuesday's Industrial Average Duplicates Low for the Year, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Oct. 17.—The industrial average as compiled by Dow, Jones & Cos., exactly duplicated the low for the year at the previous close and speculative attention was turned at the opening of the stock market today to whether sufficient support would develop to keep this level Intact. This consideration dwarfed outside news, although some uneasiness was aroused by the civic disturbances in Berlin. Leading Instocks continued to display a tone while a number of new lows on the movement were reached in the rail list. First Hour Stockc continued under pressure throughout the first hour in which Northern Pacific reached a further new low for the year, while KellySpringfield and U. S. Alcohol were the heaviest features of the industrials. Improvement in steel orders since the first of the month has not been reflected in the stocK market. There has been a better demand from railways and automobile companies while Japan and the oil companies are beginning to show more activity op the buying side. Second Hour Finding little stock for sale at around the year’s lows, traders attempted to bring about a rally In the late morning. J. J. Manning was the principal buyer of American Can, while Steel, Baldwin and Studebaker was also taken In blocks large enough to Indicate powerful Influences were at work. Steel rebounded more than a point and proportionate recoveries took place in other speculative leaders. Endicott-Johnson contlifued heavy, breaking into new low ground for the year. Noon Hoar Stocks continued to show an improved tone in noon dealings, but nothing developed In the way of a further rally. Instead of support, cropped out in several sec nons of the list. American Wool was subjected to renewed perssure which broke out again in Pan-American issues. Rumors of financing by PanAmerican Petroleum persist. People usually well Informed regarding the company’s affairs look for an announcement next week. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday averaged 86.91, off 1.16 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 78.26, off 1.48 per cent.

CORN FEATURES GRAINTRADING Wheat and Oats Go Lower in Initial Dealings, By United Financial CHICAGO, Oct. 17.—Wheat and opts were unchanged to fractionally lower and corn was higher In initial trading on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Responding to weaker outside markets, wheat displayed an easier undertone. On the early dip, however, locals assumed the buying side and some of the earlier losses were recovered. There was some export business reported. Liverpool opened unchanged to lower. Argentine suffered a severe break Tuesday, prices going down from 3 to 4 cents with favorable weather and .crop news and lower exchange rates. Rains over parts of the belt which will further delay conditioning and movement, together with lighter receipts, caused an upturn in corn valuers. Feeder demand is diminishing, farmers showing a disposition to market their live stock rather than pay the high prices for feed. Oats were dull and neglected at the outset, but gathering some strength from corn, the market turned strong. Provisions were off with lower hog values and easier cables.

The tempting i mound of frozen cream probably Is the most popular dessert, displacing pie In the leadership it once enjoyed. The materials that go Into Ice ! cream are the greatest factor In Its cost, according to figures gathered j by the United States Government. Out of each dollar received by the I ice cream manufacturer, materials take 61 cents. The labor cost is smaller than In many Industries for 12 cents goes Into wages. The manu--1 facturer gets 27 cents to cover his profit, overhead and taxes. Ice cream prices often rise in the summer, although that is the season when milk and cream are the cheapest. A fall of 5 per cent in materials decreases the cost of Ice cream making 3 cents in each sl. A 26 per cent Increase increase in wages would Increase the cost of manufacture by 3 cents.

The decline, quotably 10 to 15 cents, was not as abrupt as on Tuesday, but served to market and to emphasize the scarcity of matured hogs, for which premiums are being paid. Even heavier hogs lost a dime at a top of $8.05, selling generally from $8 down to $7.60, while mixed hogs sold from $7.50 to $7.80, and lights from $7.40 to S7.GO'. The bulk of business was transacted between $7.45 and $7.60, two of the largest buyers in the yards having purchased their "strings” within that range. The decline in the general market was commfinicated to the rough and pig markets, sow-s selling a quarter lower at $6.50 down, and pigs equally lower at $7 down. Traders with light hogs in their pens found the market almost "bottomless” unless the lighter hogs were accompanied by pens of stronger weights. The cattle market, displayed steadiness from the opening, with the, oosBible exception of medium steers, which showed an easier tendency due to heavy receipts of this class. Altogether about 4,000 cattle were In the yards, though approximately 8,000 of this number were consigned to the Highland Hereford Association, which will hold its third annual auction Hat urday, A loss of 50 to 75 cents in the price of veals brought the top for choice fancy calves to $12.50, while tho bulk sold from $11.60 to sl2.

CITYTAX LEVIES PASSED BY STATE WITH (1 CHANGE Flood Prevention Provision Is Eliminated as League Protests, With the exception of the 1-oent flood prevention levy of the Indianapolis civil city, the entire levy will be passed by the State tax board, it was learned today during a meeting of the board, in which numerous levies were considered. On suggestion of city officials, the flood prevention levy was eliminated j at a hearing several days ago when ' several levies were protested by the I Indiana Taxpayers' League, j The tax board, lt was learned, has j decided to reduce the park levy from 8 cents to 7% cents. The tax board considered the board of health levy today, following approval of the sanitary levy. It was understood the board was deadlocked on the question of the school city levy, which, as originally drafted, was $1.0075.
