STOCKS PLUNGE ON NERVOUS MART

Distress Selling Appears and Forces New Lows on Move. Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks kfor Tuesdav was 130.49. off 0.00. iwei age price of twenty rails for Tuesday was 1103.15. off 2.11. 1 Bii United, Press NEW YORK, March 30. —With traders plainly nervous after Monday’s sensational plunge in stock prices, trading opened today with most of the leading stocks selling slightly lower than at the close of Monday’s session. Industrial stocks used in DowJones’ average, closed Monday at 135.49. a loss of 27.31 from the high point of the bull market established Keb. 11. Thus in six weeks’ time was cancelled the entire advance extending over a period of practically eight months. Distress Selling Distress selling reappeared in various sections of the list around noon, forcing new lows in several stocks. Hudson dropped sharply, getting down to 75, anew low for the year. Department store stock were also heavily sold, Gimbel Bros, breaking to 6 Vs. off 3, and May Department Stores 1% to 109. R. H. Macy held comparatively well, selling at 79 against Monday’s low of 86%. This support was based on the company’s excellent 1925 report, which set forth a balance of $10.05 for common, against $6.70 the previous year.

Tone Improved In view of the sweeping character )f this break and large trading interests which it attracted to the short side, many observers were looking !or a technical recovery and buying idvices which they sent out to their bents furnished support for the gem t-al list against further necessitous Blling in the early dealings. ■ This liquidation caused additional K-eessions of substantial character in W'oolworth and a few other highpaced issues, but price changes on lie whole were fractional, the general list displaying considerable improvement in tone. I Stocks have reached a point where Lute a few of the leaders are cheap E matter what the basis of calcula--1)11, but the matter of actual value S completely disregarded. ■ Liquidation Forced Myiueh of the trouble comes from Reed liquidation by pools and it is Rvious that the operators of these would not take the losses inHted were there any way to bolster the market with the material so freely last fall. Again the was easy money. All during He long period when call funds Rre going begging at 4 per cent Hd less, the market was buoyant, lliw that call funds have been more Hhess retired from circulation, the Hirket is collapsing like a Hactured balloon. When and where will stop is not a matter for to answer, but a matter guesswork. The element impulse is still uppermost. BESntually the reservoir of seemingGSjxhaustless offerings by harassed gpfls will be emptied and economic dH:ors will again exert their normal ■ ‘BUSINESS PROSPEROUS* ■Hsident Informed Employment Is f; Plentiful.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 30 Gqain prices opened irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat opened fractionally higher in both the May deliveries, but dropped fractionally in July and September. Local operators generally are in a quandary as to which side of the market to jump. While the May deliveries are bullish, the July and September futures are equally bearish. The market as a whole shows a tendency to resist pressure and ignore all bearish news, of which there is plenty. At present there are only 89,000 bushels of contract wheat stocks in the local market, and this is believed the cause of much of the bullish tone in the May delivery. Corn opened unchanged ih the May, but fractionally off in the July and September deliveries. The market lacks outside interests and trading continues limited. Oats opened fractionally lower in July and September, but unchanged in the May delivery. This grain has no particular feature to enable it to get out of the rut in which it has been for several weeks. Provisions opened slightly higher. Chicago Grain Table —March .‘JO— _ WHEAT— Prev.

ROYAL FAMILY DO NOT IDLE; ALL ARE BUSY King Takes Part in Trade Activities, Queen at Welfare Center. Bu Times KDccial LONDON, March 30.—British royalties are adopting modern, direct methods of keeping informed of the work and welfare of their people as a part of the business of government. King George is a frequent and observant visitor at commercial and trade exhibitions and activities. Queen Mary spends perhaps a third of her busy public life at women’s welfare centers, baby hospitals and similar places. The Prince of Wales is seriously studying for his future job of king, and since his return from his South American trip his hundreds of public engagements—often three and four a day—have taker; him to every corner of Great Britain. Duke Busy The Duke of York is making a series of tours to all important industrial centers, studying factory, mine and workshop methods and conditions. It has just been revealed that Princess Mary, the king’s only daughter, is studying department store life; and that, in her studies, she spends all her spare time, unrecognized by the people she talks to, shopping at small and large stores and chatting with the sales girls. It became known for the first time a few days ago that Princess Arthur of Connaught, daughter-in-law of the Duke of Connaught, the king's uncle, has been for some months a working nurse at a huge London hospital. She goes there practically every week-day morning, and has tended to hundreds of charity patients in the day patient department. She is a registered trained nurse, having passed all examinations after three years’ training during the war. With Navy There is no idle member of the king’s family. Prince Henry, the third son, is an officer in the Army, doing his full share of duty, and Prince George, the youngest, is at present serving with the China squadron of the navy. The king, the Prince of Wales and the Duke of York all are spending much of their time now trying to sell British people the idea of buying British goods where possible, In order to diminish the still huge number of unemployed—nearly 1,200,000 —and to raise the necessary taxes to pay off the British war debt to the United States.

LENIENT TERMS GIVEN EUROPE AREATTAGKED Debt Payment Agreements to Cost Taxpayers $105,617,000, Senate Told. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, March 30.—The eleven war debts of European nations. funded by the American debt funding commission will cost the tax payers of the United States $105,617,000, Senator Howell, Nebraska, told the Senate today. Howell contended that the agreements made by the American commission amount to cancellation of the loans made by this country from receipts of liberty bonds during the World War. Do Not Bay Interest “Based upon the rule of partial payments understood by every schoolboy, the total payments in every case are not sufficient to pay interest at the rate specified by Congress,” Howell said. “It must be clearly evident that no principal is ever to he paid and that every debt agreement thus far made and recommended by the debt commission provides for cancellation.” Howell contended that the agreements are results of the cancellation propaganda started by European countries shortly after the war and submitted statements from prominent European statesmen pleading for cancellation. “The echo of the last gun fired had scarcely died away,” he said, “when a campaign was initiated in Europe for cancellation of every one of our war loans. ,

"While We Sfept” “It penetrated the chancellories of that continent, it stalked to the peace table: it reached across the Atlantic and clasped hands with the international bankers; it intrigued our foriegn trade associations and chambers of commerce; it instituted a subtle and all-enveloping propaganda that worked while many of us slept.” Howell charged that J. P. Morgan & Cos. was employed as the agent of the British treasury In 1919 to aid cancellation. The result was a triumph for Europe and diplomacy, he contended. DEBT STAND GIVEN French Finance Minister Outlines Country’s Position. Bu United Press PARIS, March 30.

Peret said that “the United States and England are showing good will, hut France’s creditors should accord us tho ‘safeguard’ clause which would bind France to pay only in proportion as France's debtors paid.” It was the safeguard clause which caused much trouble during Joseph Caillaux’s efforts to fund the debt in AVashington last September.
