By United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 15.—A heavy break which sent stocks on the New York Stock Exchange down fractions to more than 3 points in the early trading was arrested before noon today and trading quieted down materially after running at a rate equivalent to nearly 8.000,000 shares for a full session. Leading issues met what appeared to be organized support. This move toward checking the decline received Its Incentive from acion of officials of Trans-America Corporation to stem short selling in that issue. Trans-America rose nearly a point above the previous close as shorts, cowed by the threat of activities of a syndicate backed by $20,000,000, covered. * Steel Recover* United States Steel which touched 135%, anew low for two years, came back to above 137. General Electric rose nearly a point from its low to 43%, up %; American Can more than 2 points, to 108%; Bethlehem Steel 2 points, to 51%, still off U net, and American Telephone 2 points, to 179%. The industrial list was steady to firm as the noon hour approached. Railroad shares had reduced losses materially. The feature decline in rails was made by Northern Pacific, which sold down to 45Vi. off 2%. and anew low since 1899. New York Central made anew low since 1924. at 111, and then came back to above 113, against a previous close of 114. Utilities, led by Consolidated Gas were carried up from their lows. Gas rose 1% net to 81%. Oils were down with Texas Corporation, Standard of New York and Phillips making new lows for the year with losses ranging above a point. Coppers Rally Coppers made a good showing after an early break, Kennecott coining back to the previous close and Anaconda reducing an early loss to %. at 28%. The feature on the upside was the local traction group. Interborough Rapid Transit rose 5 points to 27%; to 61%, and Manhattan Modified Guaranteed 7 points to 38. Traction bonds spurted sharply. Reason for the advance of the traction shares was an announcement that a tentative agreement for unification of the various companies had been reached by representatives of the companies and the city. Call money renewed at 2% per cent, equaling Friday’s closing rate, and was firm at that figure, due to heavy withdrawals to meet financial turnover estimated around 52.000.000.000 for today.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in the Dec. 6 editions of The Tunes: The Most Important Vote Ever Cast—Frederick August Muhlenberg, member of the Continental congress and subsequently speaker of the first house of representatives in 1795, although born in this country, was the son of a German immigrant, educated at Halle, Germany. To make the separation from England more emphatic, it was proposed to supplement the English language with the German as the official medium of speech of this country. Twenty-seven members of the Continental congress (1774) voted for, and twentyseven voted against this proposal. Muhlenberg broke the tie by casting a negative vote. The reason for his dissenting vote was that he thought the antiquated German script “would present insurmountable difficulties” to a thorough mastering of the language. The German element of the Revolutionary days was almost as numerous as the English. According to the census of 1900, out of sixty-odd million inhabitants of the United States, those of German blood numbered 18,400,000, while the English element numbered 20,400,000. The story of this most fateful vote in our history is contained in Heinrich Melchoir Muhlenberg’s “Letter,” published in Halle in 1887.

PRODUCTIONUP IN COAL FIELDS Winter Weather Responsible for Sudden Spurt. By United Press WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.—Coal production, which has been lagging all year, has taken a spurt with the arrival of winter weather, the bureau of mines reported today. For the week ending Dec. 6, there were 9,627,000 tons of soft coal produced or approximately 750,000 tons more than for the biggest week heretofore of the fall season. The slump in the coal Industry is reflected, however, by comparison with the 11,940,000 ton output for the conesponding week of 1929. This shows a decrease in production this year of 2.315,000 tons. Production of Pennsylvania anthracite also showed an increase for the week of Dec. 6 to 1,695,000 tons, or 600.000 more than any week this fall. Hard coal production, however, sitll was 150,000 tons less than the same week last year. Final figures for 1929 bituminous production announced today by the bureau shows a total production of 534,988,593 tons which, officials believe, compares favorably with the maximum normal year production of 573,367,000 tons in 1926.

HIGHER CABLES ADD STRONGER TONETO GRAIN Light Shipments and Rain Reports Send English Market Up. By United Preta CHICAGO. Dec. 15. —Wheat opened unevenly steady on the Board of Trade today, July being slightly weak despite strong foreign cables.. Liverpool was higher on reports of rains in the southern hemisphere and on lighter shipments than had been expected. Corn showed unexpected strength and was sharply and unevenly higher. Oats were unevenly steady. At the opening wheat was U cent lower to % cent higher, corn was % to 1 cent higher and oats were % cent lower to li cent higher. Provisions were steady. Liverpool Strong Liverpool opened about as expected, but turned very strong to advance cent by mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires was H cent lower just befqre noon. An acute situation in stocks and commodities has affected wheat, while the prices of everything are near the lowest of the season, investors have been intimitatea by the situation and are inclined to wait until conditions are more orderly. The farm board is said to have taken 25,000,000 bushels of May wheat around these lebels, but has not been active in July, the new crop month. There is no desire to sell July short as the entire visible supply may be in the hands of the farm board by the end of the year and any crop disaster would be unusually effective. Corn Liquidated Com has been liquidated on a declining market for the last few days and is well toward the low of the season. The selling has appeared on all strong spots, the trade still expecting a good movement, though farmers are obviously dissatisfied with prices. The weakness in com has accelerated the selling of oats. While the market received fair support on resting orders, it proves but a temporary interruption to the downward trend.
