HEAVY SELLINC BRINGS DECLINE . IN STOCK LIST Bears Raid Ali Sectors as Steel and General MotoTs Bear Brunt; Cotton Up.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Friday was 182.87, oft 1.77. average of twenty rails was 140.12, oft 1.58. Average of forty bonds was 97.67, up .11. NEW YORK, Aug. B.—Further heavy selling forced prices down in all sections of the stock market today after the list had shown renewed strength in early dealings. General Motors and United States Steel bore the brunt of the decline which spread to such issues as Atchison and other standard rails, Du Pont, American Smelting, American Can, Allied Chemical. Toward the end of the afternoon a recovery set in as traders sought to pick up bargains of the decline. However, professionals operating for the decline threw large blocks of stock on the market and kept down prices. Trading slowed down following the first wave of selling, transactions running under the pace of last Saturday. While the stock market was being subjected to pressure cotton prices soared over $9 a bale and trading quieted down because of a shortage of contracts. The Government indicated yield figure * far under expectations brought on the buying wave. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review said: Stocks today experienced the most expensive corrective movement witnessed since the start of the upswing which proceeded almost perpendicularly from the middle of June to the end of July. In most quarters the reason advanced for the setback was the introduction of politics into the stock market by the Coolidge statement. Many people believed that the President’s action injected uncertainties fAm which the financial situation had been singularly free since Coolidge’s inauguration. However, Wall Street was not free from the feeling that this factor was susceptible to over-emphasis. Undoubtedly the market stood in need of technical correction after its remarkable rise. Mr. Coolidge’s announcement provided a pretext for a reaction'which might well have developed from internal conditions in the speculative structure.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. B.—lt is the general belief that Cuban supplies will be barely enough to meet the requirements of the United States. There has been a great deal of hedge selling by Europe on the theory that they will have a large beet crop. This is by no means certain. Any increase in the demand from Europe will be at the expense of our own supplies. At present levels the late deliveries seem safe investments.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) new YORK. Aug. B.—First Government estimate ot the year at 12 o clcok New York time. The market has been liquidated to the point where the technical position is sound. 14,500,000 is the average expectation. To my mind it all depends on how much accent is placed on the boll weevil. Unless the report is extreme one way or anothr. fifty points down and would be a good place to buy your cotton back. Cotton Crop Down By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug.

By Unite ff Press CHICAGO, Aug. 8. Wheat futures on the Chicago Board of Trade had advanced between 4 and 5 cents over the previous close shortly after noon today on reports from the Canadian spring wheat regions that frosts of the past two days had greatly damaged the crop. Buyers dominated the pit from the opening and the sharpest bulge occurred at the noon honr. A recent flood of rust reports from both the American and Canadian regions and cold weather forecasts had placed the trade in a position to advance prices at the slightest sign of damage to the crop. Corn prices had advanced between 3 and 4 cents with the strength in wheat and on reports that frost had damaged this crop in southern Michigan and that the grain elsewhere was further behind than ever before. Oats moved up slightly over 2 cents with the strength in wheat. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 8— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close, close.

Dr. Harry A. King

Dr. Harry Andrews King 5s Stricken at Morris St. Church. Dr. Harry Andrews King, superintendent of the Indianapolis district of the Methodist Episcopal Church, suddenly stopped in the midst of his sermon at the Morris Street M. E. Church Sunday and sank into a chair on the pulpit. A few minutes later, while members of the congregation sped in various directions in search of doctors, he died. Apoplexy was given as the cause of death. Funeral services will be held Wednesday a t9:30 a. m. Burial will be at Marshall, 111. Bishop Frederick D. Leete, a close friend of Dr. King's for ten years, will preside at the services at the Roberts Park M. E. Church, Delaware and Vermont Sts. “Man is Just like a flower; here today and gone tomorrow. Or like the grass; it flourished today and tomorrow is is withered. None of us know whether in an hour we will be still and cold and dead.” This was Dr. King’s text for the morning. He was filling the pulpit for the Rev. C. L. Griffith, pastor of the church. He had been superintendent of the Indianapolis district for five years, coming here from Atlanta, Ga., where he was president of Clark University for seven years. Dr. King was ordained a Methodiest minister in 1897 when he became pastor of the church at Belton; Mo. He has served in pastorates of Methodist churches in various parts of the country since then.

PASTORS LAUD SHUMAKER; HIT COURTACTION People of State Ready to Register Protest, Say Many Ministers. Indianapolis ministers who commented fhom the pulpit Sunday on the six-day contempt sentence given Edward S. Shumaker by the Indiana Supreme Court had only praise for the dry leader. At the East Tenth M. E. Church, whose pastor, the Rev. George S. Henninger, Is an Ant-Saloon League trustee, a unanimous rising vote In the Sunday School expressed sympathy with Shumaker and disapproval of the Supreme Court action. About 450 persons, all but one man ln the audience, stood when he asked a similar expression at the morning church service, Mr. Henninger said. “Shumaker never was guilty of the attempt to libel,” declared Henninger, “and if the Supreme Court’s action had been one entirely without prejudice, a sentence of $250 and one day would have been just as severe punishment as $250 and the sixty days.” Dr. Orien W. Fifer, Central Avenue M. E. Church pastor, cited Shumaker's record as a liquor foe for nearly a quarter-century. “Can Court Be Touched?” Concluding a sermon on the text, “Handle me and see.” Dr. Fifer said: “We are all interested this morning whether the Supreme Court is touchable or untouchable—whether one man can touch it. Judicial respect is an old American principle and churchmen are the first to respect and obey the law.” “As to his guilt, it is not for laymen say. That belongs to the courts and those skilled in the law. I believe the penalty inflicted on Dr. Shumaker will not add to the esteem or influence of the Supreme Court.” The Rev. J. W. McFall, Broadway M. E. Church pastor, declared “freedom of speech gives anyone a right to review the actions of the courts and to criticise their decisions.” “While Shumaker was convicted for contempt, many sober-minded men in Indiana would have charged him with cowardice had he said nothing against some things which should not have passed unrebuked.” Urges Clean Politics “The people of Indiana will register their protest against this punishment given a good man in whom they believe. Politics in Indiana should be better than it is, for it is not what it should be.” The Rev. G. L. K. Smith, pastor of University Place Christian Church, Fortieth St., and CapTFol Ave., said: “It seems to me that a terrible injustice has been done to one of Indiana’s greatest men. It seems Inconsistent to me that our so-called system of justice would let criminals loose on the streets and. apparently for petty political reasons, would step from a dignified course of procedure to punish a high-class, lawabiding citizen like Dr. Shumaker. “I believe that 500 preachers of Indiana would be glad to repeat the words for which Dr. Shumaker was convicted.” The Rev. M. A. Farr, pastor of the Broad Ripple Methodist Church, said: “I believe that the Supreme Court’s decision regarding Edward S. Shumaker will be regarded by all right thinking people as an extremely weak decision. “Judge Willoughby, we all remember, was opposed at election time by the Anti-Saloon Leauge. This makes his part in the decision extremely significant. Sees Stronger Dry Fight “Incidentally, the Supreme Court is not to be considered above criticism. When the newspapers should be so ready to hail this Shumaker decision, leaves only one inference. In my opinion, this decision will operate only toward stronger prohibition sentiment.” The Rev. Thomas J. Hart, pastor of the Barth Place M. E. Church, spoke briefly preceding his sermon: “Edward S. Shumaker is the victim of prejudice,” he said “The Supreme Court’s action will canonize him and will make him an international character, I fully believe. The too severe decision will bring forth the sure reaction that follows a grave injustice.” Births Girls Louis and Irma Rexroth. 5141 E. Michigan. John and Amelia Conden. 2714 W. St. Clair.
