STOCK PRICES DIP TO LOWER TONE IN MART Credit Situation Holds Back Many Traders; Few I . Issues Gain. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Prm Financial Editor NEW YORK, Feb. 14.—Fear of the outcome of the federal reserve meeting this aftemooon was reflected in a lower opening on the Stock Exchange today. Very few stocks showed gains while the majority sold off fractions to more than three points. The heaviest loss was in Westinghouse Electric which dropped 31* points to 150’4. Trading was only moderately active, many staying out of the market pending further adjustment of the credit situation. However large corporations, especially utilities came into the market today with new bond and .stock offerings, the total new financing approaching the $200,000,000 mark and setting anew high record for a day’s financing for 1929. Trading picked up in volume in the first hour, tickers running ten minutes behind the market. Prices continued to drop until 11 oclock when it appeared the heaviest part of the selling had subsided. Rallies were short lived, however. U. S. Steel went down nearly 3 points. Westinghouse Electric more than 3, Vanadium more than 3, Montgomery Ward, 5; Paramount, 31 ; American Telephone and Telegraph, %; Packard, 51k; Jchns-Manvillc, 414, and National Cash Register, 3%. Chrysler dropped to anew low for the year at 99%, off 2ls and then rallied to icq 14, Curb stocks also broke sharply although bonds held about steady in very quiet turnover. Call money renewed at 6% per cent with the undertone firm. Rails generally dipped with industrials. Losses of two points or more were sustained by Union Pacific, Atchison, Canadian Pacific, while B. & O. dipped a point. Chesapeake & Ohio and New Haven firmed up fractionally. Copper stocks held fairly steady with Green Cananea unchanged at 175’2 and small losses were noted in Anaconda and a few others of the group. The initial prices generally were not lowered in early dealings although there was a tendency to sell on every semblance of advance. Rallies were noted in such issues as Loewes, Westinghouse Airbrake, Davison Chemical and International Combustion. American Can snapjied back, while. General Motors sagged and further losses were made by United States Steel and Union Carbide.

WHEAT FUTURE PRICES CLIMB TO NEW HIGHS Corn Weakens as Result of Pressure; Oats Little Changed. By United Press CHICAGO. Feb. 14.—Increased estimates of world's wheat needs caused futures to touch new high levels again today. Corn weakened under pressure of larger receipts. Oats were little changed. At the opening, wheat was ',sc to % c higher, com was %c to %c lower, and oats were unchanged to %c lower. Provisions were slightly higher. .For perhaps the first time in history there is a world-wide scare over conditions affecting winter wheat. Broomhall today raised his estimate of world wheat requirements from 340,000,000 to 880,000,000 bushels. Severe weather continues in Europe and, while temperatures in the domestic belt are higher, Canada complains of light snow covering. Liverpool was about unchanged today. Country shippers of corn are not offering much grain on the advance, although there has been no show of independent strength in the market and all recent gains have been due to upturns in wheat. Buying of oats by commission houses is about balanced by selling of cash interests and prices have been holding within & nerrow range. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 14WHEAT— Prev. High. Low.

T. 0. WORKERS URGE HOSPITAL BILL PASSAGE 100-Bed Sanatorium for Southern Counties of State Advocated. Enactment of the Gwin-Carter bill now pending in the legislature which provides for the erection of a 100-bed state tuberculosis hospital to receive patients from the twenty-eight southern comities of the state, was urged at the annual conference oi the Indiana Tuberculosis Association at the Lincoln today, by Murray R. Auerbach, executive secretary of the association. Reporting on the year's antituberculosis work by the state association and county associations', Auerbach declared Indiana can view with pride the progress made. In clinics, nursing, fresh air camps, child health and general educational work, much progress has been made but the sanitorium situation is not as pleasing, he said. More Nurses Needed There were 2,314 tuberculosis deaths in the state last year and a minimum of at least that mai.y sanitorium beds should be available. Instead Indiana has only 1.090 available beds, he said. The southern hospital would relieve the need in the southern counties where the highest county death rate is found and would permit more patients from other sections of the state to use the present state hospital at Rochester, lie declared. Dr. James H. Stygall. association president, stressed the need of better supervision of discharged sanatoria patients and of more public health nurses. Banquet Tonight Other speakers were: Mies Florence Apple, Goshen: Miss Neva Bushong, La Grange: Miss Irma Collmer, South Bend: Dr.-Thurman B. Rice, associate professor of bacteriology, Indiana university school of medicine: R. H. Mclntyre, Newcastle: Dr. E. M. Amos. Indianapolis; H. B. Allman. Rushville, sunerintendent of schools. The annual banquet will be held at the Lincoln tonight. The Indiana conference of tuberculosis secretaries met at noon with Miss Harriet E.
