Averse* of thirty Industrials for Wednesday was 1*3.11, oft 3.26. Average of twenty rail* was 107.55, off 1.92. Average of twenty utilities was 64.46, off 1.61. Average of forty bonds was 95.61, off .06. By United Preen NEW YORK, Nov. 28.—With attention directed to the serious decline in railroad Revenue through pipeline and motorcar transportation, shares of railroad companies broke sharply on the Stock Exchange today. The remainder of the list with a half dozen or so exceptions also sold off in dull turnover. From time to time some support developed for the industrial leaders but they were unable to hold these small gains from the lows. On the other hand the bearish element did not see fit to press the advantage given by the railroad share weakness. Railroads Drop Bad news for the oil companies In the form of a gasoline reduction at Toledo and curtailment of crude purchases by Prairie Oil and Gas failed to bring any more than nominal selling into the petroleum Stocks. Reports of increases in both imports and exports of copper for October had an offsetting effect and the copper issues ruled firm, several making fractional gains. In the railroad division New York Central dropped to anew low since 1926 at 127's. off 2%; Atchison sold down to 186"!. off 3%; St. LouisSan Francisco, 64',*, off 1; Union Pacific. 184’i, off 4; Southern Railway. 63’ ~. off IS, and New Haven, 83 off l'i. Condition Critical The association of railroad executives today said that the railroads are now in the most critical situation they have experienced since the transportation act of 1920 was passed. They said plans w'ere under way to ask congress to place all forms of interstate transportation under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, thus bringing their greatest competitors —pipe line companies and motor truck and bus companies, under the s£me restrictions as the roads. The stressing of the railroads’ condition, together with issuance of adverse earnings reports for October bearing out the statements of rail executives, worked against the carrier shares.

GRAIN FUTURES SELL DOWN ON WEAKREPORTS Large Estimate on Argentine Crop Lowers Foreign Wheat Trade. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 28.—Wheat broke a major fraction on the Board of Trade today on selling preciptated by the weakness in foreign markets Thursday, although Liverpool was firmer today and quiet with shippers taking profits. Buenos Aires also was somewhat stronger, contradictory reports on the Argentine crop were received the day, most claiming Broomhall overestimated the probable production and placed the exportable surplus between 165,000,000 and 187,000,000 bushels. Corn showed excellent resistance and oats were off only fractionally. Liverpool Weakens At the opening wheat -was % to 1 cent lower; corn was unchanged to % cent lower, and oats w’ere unchanged to % cent lower. Provisions were about steady. An estimate by Broomh&ll, English statistician, giving the Argentine crop as 280,000,000 bushels for this year was considerably larger than previous private estimates and broke Liverpool and Buenos Aires on Thursday. Both markets made a slight recovery today, Liverpool being 1% to 214 cents lower. For the two days, at midafternoon while Buenos Aires was *4 cent higher at the opening. Weather Is Cold The disposition of the local traders was td go slow on the selling side and wait developments as government support was looked for on any break. The weather was exceptionally cold over the com belt today and over the holiday. The trade assumes that if after a week or so the receipts do not increase that the farmers will continue their policy of holding for higher prices. The unfavorable weather in Europe has become a factor in the coarse grain situation and a strengthening feature in the oats pit. The need of mill feed and the cold weather are other bullish factors.

CONVICTS KEPT IN HUGE CAGES ON SEA PRISON French Ship Busy Sailing Gathering Up Outlaws for Devil’s Island. By United Press ST. MARTIN, Island of Re, Nov. 28.—The floating prison, the converted convict carrier Martiniere, is preparing to sail within a lew days for Indo-China to pile a load of humans between her rusted sides, and carry them nearly half way around the world to dump them on Devil’s Island. For two months the Martiniere will cruise, calling for and delivering her holdfuls of convicts, and in' January she will return to this island to take on 350 more French convicts and start again across the Atlantic to Cayenne. Little Comfort Aboard As crime increases the Martiniere is kept almost constantly in movement. It is the one convict ship in the French government fleet and as such fnust cart t/ie convicts of North Africa, Indo-China and continental France to tile colony of condemned men. Unlike liners, there is little comfort on the Martiniere even for her crew and penitentiary guards. Below decks everything has been ripped out to make room for enormous cages. There are solitary cells in which vicious criminals pass more than a month floating to their penal colony. Machine Guns for Guards There are huge cells squads of prisoners live in groups and suffer seasickness as the little ship rolls in the swells. They never are allowed on deck, and are bathed only when guards turn on the pumps and sprinkle the convicts through the cage bars. There is a ship’s bay for the sick and a galley where the two meals a day are cooked at sea. The guards have machine guns to keep the prisoners in hand and to fight, off any attempt to transfer prisoners at sea. PROBE JERSEY VOTING Committee Wants to Know Exact Amount Spent in Elections.
