Jlii United Press NEW YORK. Dec. 22.—Quiet sellins reduced prices 1 to 4 points on the Stock Exchange this morning. Leading shares lost fractions to a point while special issues bore the sbrunt of selling. Rails joined the industrialists in their downturn.

Some of the selling was done by tiaders who wished to clean out tiieir commitments for an extended vacation over the holidays. Some was due to psychological reasons following the closing of a large Philadelphia bank and failure of a Miami bank to open today. There was nothing in the news over the week-end to bring out selling. Traders were cautious on the theory the market might run into a secondary reaction following its rise of last week.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Saturday’s Times: Mrs. Emily Edwards of Long Branch—When Mrs. Edwards, now past 80 years of age, was a little girl, she ran a needle into her right foot while playing barefooted. The needle broke in two and part of it was not removed from her foot at the time. Two years later a red. itching spot appeared on her left ankle and an attending surgeon removed the still shiny-as-new needle. It had worked itself through her body without causing any pain or doing her any harm. Mrs. Edwards’ home is at 428 Atlantic avenue, Long Branch, New Jersey.

WEAK CABLES SEND FUTURES MARKET DOWN July Wheat Sinks to Point in 30 Years: Corn Active. By United Press CHICAGO. Dec. 22.—A more* bearish Argentine estimate than had been expected depressed world wheat markets today and broke July wheat as the Board of Trade opened. Liverpool was affected by the southern hemisphere figures and the weakness at Winnipeg, falling to j new low levels while Winnipeg also • set new marks. The old crop months again held to their stabilized position, but July wheat sank to the lowest point in around thirty years. Corn sold off sharply with wheat and on scat--1 tered selling. Oats were only slight- ! ly easy in a light trade. Foreign Marts Off At the opening wheat was % cent lower to Vs cent higher with July lb to 1% cent lower, corn was s s to 1% cent lower and oats were unchanged to 1 4 cent low er. Provisions reacted and were weak. Liverpool and Buenos Aires were much lower than expected, Liverpool declining sharply to stand 2 ; to 2% cents lower or at 63 ’4 cents, j the lowest figure since 1895. Buenos | Aires was off 1% to 2’s eehts. ! Wheat trade continues in an unsetI tied state of mind. While prices [ are extremely low, no improvement j is looked for. Puehases Limited Buyers at home and abroad are | limiting their wheat purchases to the bare necessities. The new crops of Argentina and Australia will be on the market shortly, competing, with the Canadian and Aemrican : surpluses, and importers are taking their time filling their requirements. The continued declines in corn do ; not appear to change sentiment. | With wheat stabilized and dull, must | of the traders are working in the i corn pit and the volume is twice I that of the former grain. A fur- ; ther increase in the visible supply | and larger receipts are expected today. Buying orders for May oats just below the market are holding that grain steady, except as the other grains become weak and act as the chief factors.
