i Average of thirty industrials for Tuesi day was 166.43. oft 2.64. Average of twenty rat!* was 92 28. utilities was 66.a3. oil 1.00. Average of forty bonds was 95.74. up .03. BY ELMER WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, April 15.—Stocks suffered another severe sinking spell in morning dealings today on renewal of professional selling pressure. Steel common at one time sold at 134%, a loss of 2% points from the previous close and the lowest price | since the end of the Coolidge "bull | market. It recovered from this I figure. Weakness in Steel spread to other sections of the list. Selling Pressure Lifts Westinghouse Electric slumped j more than a point to the lowest i levels since 1927, and Texas Gulf j Sulphur made a new* low for the year on renewed fears of .adverse dividend action. Similar fears were responsible for nearly 3 points drop in Vanadium. Prices around noon showed losses of a fraction to several points in the principal trading stocks. Selling pressure showed a tendency to lift near the end of the second hour. The principal factor In Steel’s break was the spotty condition in the industry .as revealed by the weekly steel trade summaries. These estimated a further decrease in steel operations during the past week, and noted additional signs of price weakness in steel products. Rails Are Sold Much of the weakness in other sections of the list was attributed to the break to new low ground in United States Steel. This development was discouraging to speculative sentiment, which had anticipated further rallying tendencies in today’s session. Asa result, professionals hammered various leading stocks oil the theory a break in recent resistance points would induce widespread liquidation. Group movements were not well defined. The railroad section saw its usual quota of new lows, but dealings were quiet. Utilities and oils were lower with the rest of the list.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not” which appeared in Tuesday’s Times: The Largest Grapevine—The big grapevine, of Mission variety, grew in Montecito, Cal., on land formerly owned by Dr. A. B. Doremus of Santa Barbara. The vine was planted in 1827 by Dona Maria Marcelina de Dominquez, to observe the birth of her first born. The stem, or trunk, of the vine was eighteen inches in diameter and fifty-six inches in circumference, and under its branches the Spanish people of this section used to hold their festivities. At one time the vine produced 7,500 clusters of grapes yearly, a total of 12,000 pounds. The above is verified by the Santa Barbara (Cal.) Chamber of Commerce.

LACK OF RAIN ADDS BULLISH TUNEJO GRAIN Weather Dominant Factor in Wheat Trade; Corn Unsettled. BY HAROLD E. RAINVTtLE United Press Staff Corresnondent CHICAGO, April 15.—Failure of general rains to materialize in the dry sections of the wheat belt and a firm, advancing Liverpool market gave wheat good fractional advance on the Board of Trade today The weather continues to play a dominant role in the wheat situation and is causing a nervous fluctuating market. However, the start today indicated strength with very little selling meeting the buying orders. Corn was firm, but responded slowly to the rise in wheat. Oats were firm but hung back with corn Opening Is Higher At the opening wheat was % to % cent higher with May unchanged. Corn was unchanged to S s cent higher, and oats were % to % cent up. Provisions were rather slow*, but apparently steady. Liverpool began lower, as expeoted, but quickly reversed itself and jumped up to a gain of H to 1 cent by mid-afternoon. A broad and universal demand for Australian wheat, coupled with the revision in French milling regulations, was the chief factor. Buenos Aires was 1% cents higher early, compared with Monday. France has damaged its allowance on foreign wheat to be mixed in milling to 15 per cent. There were only a few scattered showers in the American northwest and some rains in lowa and western Illinois overnight. Weather Unsettled Canadian weather was unsettled with both dust storms and showers reported. The trade looks for a sustained European demand owing to the light stocks there but regards weather and crop news as the dominant items. Traders who have been bearish on corn expressed the opinion that the market looked as if it wanted to advance. There has been very little pressure and with a better tone to wheat an advance seems assured. The east continues a big taker of oats at Chicago with such purchases Tuesday running up to 115,000 bushels. Trade w*as light and the trend depends on the action in the other pits.
