By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 9.—A sharp setback in the stock of International Telephone and Telegraph Company and general weakness in the communication issues retarded a rally in progress on the Stock Exchange in the early trading today after a reaction following an irregular opening. International Telephone was driven down to 22 Li, off 2%, and a new low for the present stock on fears the dividend would be passed at the next meeting of directors. Western Union shared this weakness, making anew low for the year at 130 Li, of! 2. American Telephone declined 2 Li points to 182 and then rallied fractionally. Rails Sold Early Selling in the railroad shares was an early feature. It marked a continuation of weakness in the group’s shares and bonds for the last few days. Before the end of the first hour nearly every active railroad stock had made anew low for several years. The average was the lowest in more than five years. Selling in the carriers slowed up as noon approached. Before lessening of pressure on the carriers, losses had run to 3 points in such issues as Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, Pere Marquette and Texas & Pacific. New York Central made anew low since 1926 at 118%, off 1%. It then rallied to 122 and drifted back to a fraction above 120. The market slowed down in turnover. Traders were wary as indications of a technical recovery appeared. On the other hand, there was considerable fear regarding difficulties as a result of failure of the merger plan involving four New York banks into a billion dollar institution to materialize. Steel Reacts Industrial stocks moved back and forth. Steel was carried above 142 from a low of 140 % on expectation of a rise in unfilled orders from November. It reacted again, however, and was holding around 141 % at noon. At that price it was up L 4 net. Gillette Safety Razor was a weak spot in the special issues, breaking 214 to 27=4, anew low. J. I. Case was under pressure, breaking to a new low for the year at 9514, off 3L4.' The latter price compared with a high for the year of 36214. Westinghouse Electric was around 96, unchanged from the previous close. Call money held at 2 per cent. Cotton sold off to within touching distance of lows for the year, while wheat met support.

R. Thompson of the United States public health service to the diouse committee on appropriations. “We have increased the span of life,” lie said, “but we have done it from the standpoint of the child, not f.-om the standpoint of the adult. None of us who have passed our fortieth year have any reason to believe we will live any longer at all than our ancestors. In fact, we are probably not going to live as long. “When we get past 50 years of age and see our friends suddenly leaving us, it brings to mind most forcibly that instead of the question being one of infant mortality it is one middle-aged mortality.” Building Permits James Cunningham, retool porch. 3840 North Delaware.

The army air corps, in its newest and fastest pursuit plane, has devoted a great deal of attention to the problem of keeping the pilot from injuring his face. The air corps has found that many pilots are injured painfully in minor crack-ups by being thrown against the instrument board. So in this new plane, the instrument board is soft. The Curtis Aeroplane and Motor Company which built the plane, has covered the dash with a two-inch thickness of sponge rubber, and over this placed a covering of soft leather. Holes cut in the padding allow the pilot to see his instruments, and give them the appearance of being burned in hte rubber.

UNEVEN TREND i A FEATURE OF ; FUTURETRADE Strength of Foreign Marts Disregarded: Sales Volume Light. Bp United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 9.—The opening was dull and Irregular on the Board of Trade this morning with wheat unevenly steady, com irregularly steady, oats practically unchanged and no trading in provisions. Strength at Liverpool was disregarded, that market being Arm, but irregular on conflicting Australian and Argentine reporta. Buenos Aires was weak, Winnipeg was firm. Trading was very light and scattered. At the opening wheat was % cent lower to % cent higher. Com was cent lower to % cent higher and oats were unchanged to % cent up. Provisions were not quoted. Liverpool was stronger than expected. and_ by mid-aftemoon was 3cer t to % cent higher. Buenos Aires started steady but was % cent off just before noon. The sentiment in the wheat pit is very much confused. The trade has been selling July freely because the stabilization operations have not included that delivery and the result is believed to be an oversold condition. Meanwhile, the farm board continues to pick up old and new May around the 81-cent level, preventing short selling and discouraging buying. Bullish traders are buying coni on all sharp declines on the belief that the turning point is near and that the present run will not last much longer. Notwithstanding the recent heavy movement there has been little building up of reserve stocks for the late winter months, and unless these are replenished soon there will be none left for the spring. The government estimate of 235,000,000 bushels of wheat to be used for feeding purposes was a bearish factor in the corn and oats pits Monday, but affected the latter only temporarily and there was a good rally at the close.
