STOCK SHARES SHOW STRONG PRICEJRENDS Drop in Westinghouse Is . Unable to Affect * >- Other Issues.

Average Stock Prices

Average of thirty industrials for Thursday was 157.43, up 1.06. Average of twenty rails was 67.28. off .36. Average of twenty utilities was 60.61, up .01. Average oT forty bonds was 95.42, oft .03. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, April 24.—Heavy selling in Westinghouse Electric today broke that stock nearly four points to anew low since 1926 at 68. but the remainder of the issues on the stock exchange held fairly steady in quiet turnover. Early in the session the list dropped rather sharply after a steady opening. It rallied again and moved in a narrow range into the afternoon. Around noon United States Steel was at 127%, up %; • Bethlehem Steel 47%, off %; Allied Chemical 135, off 1%; Auburn Auto 211, up 2; Case 82%, off %; American Can 116%, up %, and Fox Film A. 19%,, up %. Utilities moved up slightly while oils held steady at fractional declines. Rails came back slightly after early irregularity. Coppers held steady, while rubber shares receded. Auburn Automobile was again a wide mover. It dipped to 205 from 213 in the early trading and then made up nearly all the recession. Trading in the issue, however, was light. Around noon tickers were barely moving. Interest was lacking on both sides of the market, with bears as reticent about pushing advantages as were bulls in making new buying commitments. Call money held at 1% per cent.

The fraternity want such-a-bar, reminiscent of the old days, to use in the annual “Bowery Brawl” here. In former -years there were plenty of them unused, but gradually they disappeared. For the last two years the fraternity has used the same bar, a masterpiece of mahogany and brass, but this year its owner said even that was performing its duties elsewhere.

Platka attributes the gain to a much improved distribution system throughout the sixteen principal - countries in .the world where Perfect Circle piston rings are actively sold, and to the general pickup in foreign replacement parts business. Canada registered the greatest gain in the first three months with a 109 per cent increase over the same period in 1930. Morrows Returning to U. S. PARIS, April 24.—Senator and Mrs. Dwight E.

STRONG GABLE REPORTS SEND GRAINSHIGHER Steady Securities Trend Another Bull Factor in Futures. BY HAROLD E. RAECVILLE United Press Staff CorresDoneent CHICAGO, April 24.—Strength at Liverpool and a relatively steady stock market gave wheat an unevenly higher opening on the Board of Trade today. The distant futures went up a good fraction on scattered buying, but the nearby months were unchanged. Liverpool was firm with a higher tendency, owing to a gocd general demand. Foreign markets a-s a rule were strong, with statistics slightly bullish and prospects of forther reduction in milling requirements in France and Germany. Corn was firm with wheat. Oats had a small trade, but followed the other grains. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent higher, with Hay unchanged; corn was unchanged to % cent higher and oats were % to % cent up. Provisions were steady in a very dull trade. Liverpool was off at the start but recovered to advance % to %c higher at mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires was %c up at the opening. Wheat traders are mainly bearish looking for an irregular, declining! market unless there is a decided j change in the character of the j news. The continued unsettlement in the stock market is a disturbing influence. Much of the May wheat coming out is attributed to sales by the government. The Fanners National Grain Corporation and speculators who have held for an advance that has failed to materialize are said to be the chief sellers. It is probable that the farm board will take delivery on some wheat now held in private elevators. Increased run of corn the last few days and the fear that track deliveries may be necessary are depressing factors in the maize pit. The cash demand, while r.ct large, holds steady and charters for 310,000 bushels to go to Euffalo by boat were made Thursday. The action of wheat continues to be the real influence. After oats had fallen to another new low position, sufficient buying by cash interests occurred to rally May. The shipping demand is showing some improvement.

COTTON FUTURE^ Federal Farm Beard Head Predicts Market Growth, By United Press AUGUSTA, Ga., April 24.—The outlook fer American cotton appears brighter than at any time in the last, .two years,. Carl Williams of the federal farm board said today in a speech before the annual meeting of the.

OHIO FIGHTS TO KEEP UTILITIES UNDERJCQNTRQL Gas Company Is Opposed in Its Efforts to Evade Regulation. By Seripps-Hcicnrd Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, April 24.—A new angle of the historic states rights controversy is before the United States supreme court, also another chapter in the long fight to regulate public utilities. . The case is that of the Stats of Ohio versus the East Ohio Gas company, involving the recovery by the state of $959,000 in back taxes and anticipated annual collections of approximately $500,000 from public utilities. East Ohio purchases most of its gas from--West Virginia, where it is produced by a subsidiary of Standard Oil of New Jersey, and is delivered through high pressure transmission mains to 450,000 consumers in Cleveland, Youngstown, Akron, Canton, and- other eastern Ohio communities. The utility contends that since the gas is in continuous motion from the West Virginia fields to the burner tips of the consumers, it is interstate commerce and therefore the state of Ohio has no right to levy an excise tax. Company Is Reserved Attorney-General Gilbert Eettman of Ohio challenges this theory and on behalf of the Ohio tax commission has reversed the company in the federal district court in Ohio. Bettman and Attorney William D. Cockley of Cleveland, for the company, argued the case before the supreme court this week. More important than the taxes involved, Attorney- General Bettman told the court, is the “national governmental aspect” of the case. “Modem engineering developments now make possible the long distance transportation of electrical energy in high voltage transmission wires, of oils in pipe lines, of gas in transmission mains,” he said. “Science has hurdled state'lines. Further modem financial methods make the concentration of vast financial resources which permit billion dollar corporations to do a country-wide business. Effect Far Reaching “If the supreme court should adop tthe East Ohio’s contention and should tie together the engineering and financial developments of modern America so that business of these great underlying commodies of power, oil and gas, remained interstate commerce from point of origin to point of final consumption, then the original gift, so grudgingly bestowed by the states on the national government, of the power to regulate interstate commerce, indeed would become a quitclaim deed to half the sovereignty of the individual states.” A victory by Ohio, AttorneyGeneral Bettman says, will pave the way for similar collections by states where power and gas consumers are served through long distance, interstate mains and transmission lines. BLAST INJURES YOUTH In Critical Condition at Hospital Suffering Severe Bums.
