By United Press NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—United States Steel led the stock market into lower ground in the early dealings today after an irregular opening. Trading was active. Just a month ago, the market experienced a sharp break following the United States Steel tonnage report which showed an increase of 518,430 tons on Dec. 31, as compared with the end of the previous month. The report to be issued at noon today is expected to show an increase of 400,000 and this factor lias been fully discounted. General Motors also sold off on disappointment of directors to do no more than declare regular dividends at the close Thursday. Motors opened off % at 137 -'A and then sank to 137%. Du Pont lost part of its gain of Thursday. American Can American Can quieted down and resisted pressure of shorts while Texas Gulf Sulphur rose 1% to 74%, General Electric a point to 130%, N. Y. Airbrake, 1% to 49% and Tobacco Products a point to 111 Vi. Losses running to a point or more were noted in many issues including Consolidated Gas which sagged 1% to 136, Houston Cil off 3 a 131, and Montgomery Ward off % at 143. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal's financial review today: said: “Increase in the weekly brokerage loans had a depressing effect on sentiment.and stocks were freely offered at the opening, initial quotations ranging from a fraction to more than a point down. General Motors continued to be well supported turning over in considerable blocks around 138. Rubbers were under pressure, reflecting the recent weakness in crude rubber.’’ Unsettled Before Noon The market became unsettled in the late forenoon. The steel tonnage figures showing the corporations unfilled booking gain of 303,000 tons in January was bearishly interpreted in quarters where an increase of 400.000 tons or more had been looked for. Rails were generally quiet. Delaware 8z Hudson was under pressure. Selling was based upon the belief *that the road failed to earn its dividend in 1927.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Feb. 10.—We wonder if any one can really explain the mysteries of money? So many accepted theories have already been exploded in the last few that it seems to us they would rewrite the book. The theories of gold, the theory of commodity prices, loans, international exchange, all have had a way of acting independent and not according to the law, if ihats what you call it. Money rates were low here in order that gold might go to the otlier side and now rediscount rates are up. Will gold come back? Thursday time money in this market distinctly firmer and higher and call money lower. Last week reserve banks talking in their sign language said, curb speculation and the market promptly responds with increased speculation. The famous cartoonist ought to draw another picture with that “grand and glorious feeling” for the poor mortal that has to solve those puzzles. This morning we learn that five million gold is now on the way to New York. Comes from Russia. Don’t know where they get it, but its on the way and that will take care of at least fifty million more loans. Notwithstanding all the puzzles, if the money power here wants speculation curbed it will be curbed, so don’t neglect taking a profit.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Feb. 10.—While technical considerations still continued to govern the sugar futures market there is evidence for a steadier undertone which emanated from the actual market when operators discovered that the market was cleared of practically all 2*/2-cent cost and freight offerings. There appeared to be some new outside buying and also some for European account. While there seems to be no marked aggressiveness on the buying side there was a notable absence of selling pressure. - We believe purchasers at these levels will slowly profit.

GRAINS MOSTLY WEAK; MARKET IS UNSETTLED Corn Declines; Wheat Shows Slightly Firmer Tone in Chicago. P,y United Press CHICAGO, Feb. 10.—All grains were unsettled, with the undertone mostly weak, during today’s session on the Chicago Board of Trade. Corn declined, but wheat showed a slightly firmer tone. Ranges were narrow and trading was moderate. Reports of export business totaling around 1,000,000 bushels gave wheat its slight strength, but the market during most of the day was too quiet to make any decided advance. Favorable cold, clear weather over the belt depressed corn sentiment and gave that market\a bear tone. Export business was flat, foreign buyers evidently waiting for a dip hero before buying American corn. Oats showed a little mid-session strength, but the inactivity of other grains kept it from making any real advances. Provisions declined slightly. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 10WHEAT— Prev. High.

LINDY BLUSHES BEFORE GIRLS Havana Governor Presents Flier With Medal. BY ALFRED P. RECK United Press Staff Correspondent HAVANA, Feb. 10.—As a “messenger of peace,” Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, blushing before the cheers of an audience composed of girls, was presented with a gold medal today by Governor Ruiz on behalf of Havana province. Lindbergh went to the foreign ministry for the presentation. The girls in the crowd around the secretary of state’s office had been lined up against the walls; but when Lindbergh entered they burst with a cheer from their places and surrounded him and Governor Ruiz. “I want to take this opportunity first to thank you all for the honor that has been conferred on me,” Lindbergh said, bowing to the girls, when the medal was presented. "Secondly, I thank you as the representatives of Cuba and Havana for the welcome you gave me on my arrival. “I assure you that brief as my visit may be in Cuba, it is one I shall always remember.” SLACK SAYS COUNCIL SHALL NOT INTERFERE Intends to Remain in Office Unless Judiciary Rules Otherwise.

OIL PROBERS TO QUIZBANKERS John D., Jr., Also to Testify Saturday. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.—John D. Rockefeller Jr., and two officials of the New York branch of the Dominion Bank of Canada are to be examined by the Senate Teapot Dome committe Saturday in a further effort to trace the missing profits of a mysterious oil deal of 1921. The two bank officials are C. S. Howard and A. W. Rice, who will be asked whether any of the Liberty Bonds representing profits the Contiental Trading Company formed as part of the deal were deposited in their bank, and to whose account. The committee has been informed that most of the bonds were deposited at the Dominion bank and that a record of the serial numbers and disposition of the bonds was kept by the bank. Rockefeller will be asked to tell under oath the facts developed in his recently published correspondence with Senator Walsh of Montana, who is leading the inquiry. Rockefeller perdsonally had no connection with the deal and knows nothing of it, the committee believes. Walsh, however, wishes Rockefeller to tell what efforts he made to get the facts from Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana.

day, because Day could not be found. He will be in court Monday, Maurice Mendenhall, his attorney, said. Mrs. Vande did not falter when she told of her son’s request shortly before he died, in 1921, to be buried beside his mother. She said financial matters kept her and Vande from buying a lot at that time, and an arrangement was made with the former husband and his mother, Mrs. Clarinda Wolf, whereby the boy could be buried on Mrs. Wolf's lot. Mrs. Vande maintained it was understood that the boy’s body could be removed when she bought her own lot. Now the former husband has fallen heir to the lot, due to the death of his mother, and he is seeking to prevent the removal. His attorney claimed he has offered to deed the entire lot to Mrs. His attorney claimed he has offered to deed the entire lot to Mrs. Vande, but she will not agree to it, because “there isn’t room for me to be buried beside him.”

FAIL TO FIND GIRL’S BODY IN OHIO MURDER River Is Dragged, Forest Is Searched, but Mystery Remains Unsolved. By United Press NEW PHILADELPHIA. Ohio, Feb. 10.—Searchers continued dragging the Tuscarawas river and beating the underbrush along the DoverCanton highway today, hoping to find the body of 23-year-old Viola May. Police, meanwhile, became more convinced hourly that the girl's brother-in-law, William D. Herron, who confessed he choked her to death, did not drop the body into the Tuscarawas, but probably buried it in a shallow grave. Sheriff Abe Laird advanced the theory that Herron had hacked the body to pieces and buried it in a shallow grave. Two axes were found in Herron’s abandoned automobile and later a piece of bloody clothing, believed to be Miss May's, was discovered near a gravel pit. Laird said, however, that the axes bore no blood stains. Choked Her Too Long It was near the gravel pit that. Herron first attacked the girl, after they had left one of Miss May's girl friends at her home and Herron had driven to the gravel pit and parked. Miss May resisted his advances, he said, and he "choked her too long.” Herron said he dropped the body into the Tuscarawas from a bridge at Dove*. Fences were stretched across the river below the bridge today, officials hoping that Miss May's body, if it were thrown into the river, would be caught as it washed downstream. Score* of searchers, augmenting city and county police, continued meanwihle to search the gravel pit and beat the underbrush, in the f belief that the body was buried or hidden. The New Philadelphia Times today had offered a SIOO reward for recovery of the body. The Chamber of Commerce and other civic bodies were to meet and were expected to increase the offer. The prospect of reward spurred the searchers and it was believed the girl’s body would be found by night. State Held Powerless The State, meanwhile, was powerless to file charges against Herron, who has made two attempts at suicide since his arrest. In the absence of the body, authorities had only Herron’s story to go on. Herron’s automobile was found a few hours after he had been detained for questioning. He had told police two bandits attacked him and kidnaped Miss May. Bits of torn clothing were found in the machine.
