Average Stock Prices

Averse* of thirty industrials for Tuesday was 148 89. off 1.61. Average of twenty rails was 86 40. off .61. Average of twenty utilities was 60.13. off .15 Average of forty bonds was 95.33. up .08. BY ELMER C. WALZER ( nlted Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, May 6.—The stock market held steady to firm today despite weakness in United States Steel common and preferred shares and American Can. Steel common broke to 110%, off 3 M points and the lowest price touched since 1924, when the issue sold at 94*4. The preferred stock broke to 140%, off nearly a point. American Can made anew low for the year at 105 Vi, off 2% points. Weakness in this issue and the steels led to the belief that some of the George F. Baker holdings in these companies were being liquidated. This could not be confirmed. Auburn Is Feature The wide swing of the day was again furnished by Auburn Auto, which rose to 216, up 4 points. Elsewhere changes were mostly fractional with the tendency toward majority of gains. Around noon Radio Corporation was at 17%, up %; Worthington Pump, 61%, up 1%; Westinghouse Electric, 60%, off %; United States Steel, 110%, off 3%; Case, 80%, unchanged; General Electric, 43%, up %; Woolworth 64. up %, and United Aircraft 82%, off 1. List Holds Firm Weekly steel reviews told of a reduction in operations of steel companies of 1 per cent, but indication for the future were more promising than had ben expected. The Iron Age noted that the downtrend of steel production “is encountering greater resistance.” Sustained activity was noted in the automobile in.' dustry. Hence the steel industry news was discarded as the reason for the dip in the leading industrial stock and the theory of Baker liquidation substituted. Failure of the break to bring renewed selling into the general market was considered significant.

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 Moon Is Upside Down in Argentina—The moon’s rotation on her own axis coincides with its revolution around the earth, so that our view of the earth’s satelite is limited to a single lunar hemisphere. We all are familiar with the lunar resemblance to a human face (man in the moon) when viewed with the naked eye. Now- it comes as a distinct shock to learn that our view of the moon is not independent of earthly . geographical location. Each inhabitant of our globe, with varying geographical position of the observer, the aspect of the lnnar disc varies, until south of the Tropic of Capricorn, the “Man in the Moon” appears suspended upside down. The irregularly spotted surface of the moon is to an observer in the Argentine the exact reverse of the aspect with which we are familiar in the northern hemisphere. The same principle hold for the moon’s phases. See Professor Max Moeller’s article in the imperial and Royal Geographic Society Magazine, vol. 58, page 515, in collaboration with the Argentine National Observatory (Observatrio Nacional Argentine). Dorothy Sawyer Was Unconscious for Six Months—A sleep of six months for Miss Dorothy Sawyer of Webster Grove, Mo., recently was ended after an extended coma that puzzled her doctors. She became unconscious last summer when she nearly was drowned while bathing in the river and did not regain consciousness until last Winter. Thursday: The Man of 100 faces.
