Average of thirty industrials for Thursflav was 136.93. up .74. Average of twenty rails was 74.69. off .32 Average of twenty Utilities was 56.23, up .25. Average of forty bonds was 96.22. off .12. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, July 31.—Recent dividend changes, together with fears of further cuts and omissions by other corporations, influenced trading on the Stock Exchange today. A number of issues met heavy pressure. A few others rose against the general down trend. Toward the close prices were rallying slightly from the early lows, which represented losses ranging to 6 points. According to preliminary calculations the Dow, Jones & Cos. industrial average declined 1.57 points to 135.36; rail average was off 1.25 points at 73.44 and utility average was off 0.36 points at 55.87. Sales totaled 1,200,000 shares, compared with 1,400,000 shares Thursday. Nickel Plate Crashes Omission of the common and preferred dividend by New York, Chicago & St. Louis railroad (Nickel Plate) brought unsettlement Into the carrier group where Nickel Plate preferred plunged down 20 Vi points to a record low at 35Vi. The common dropped six points to 26, within a point of its record low made Thursday when the issue dropped 10 points. Nickel Plate bonds made new lows. New York Central which did not come wthin a long distance of earning its dividend in the first six months of this year, was driven down to 73Vi, off 2% and within 2 points of its low since 1921. Wide losses were recorded in Atchison, Union Pacific, Rock Island and Chicago Northwestern, the latter equaling its low for the year. Fear for Dividends Heavy selling came into J. I. Case on the theory the dividend would be reduced. The stock made anew low at, 54, off 6V£ points. Traders were influenced in their selling to some extent by the break in wheat where the July and September positions made record lows. American Can made anew low for two years on further liquidation based on reduction in operations reflected in the decreasing demand for tin plate. Tobacco shares were hammered down on news the department of justice was to investigate the unanimous and similar price advance by the leading manufacturers of cigarets. American Tobacco issues broke sharply and smaller losses were recorded in Lorillard, Liggett & Myers and Reynolds tobacco issues. The foregoing companies were the ones making the price advances, which, according to estimates, added some $40,000,000 to revenues at a time when prices of tobacco were declining. Steel Closes Off United States Steel ranged between 83' 2 and 86 Vz, and closed at 85%, off % net. Some belated selling on the dividend cut of last Tuesday from $7 to $4 was responsible for the afternoon weakness. Bethlehem Steel, whose report Thursday was better than anticipated, opened with a gain of more than a point on 5,000 shares, advanced further and held 1% of the gain Lo close at 36%, Utilities moved in a relatively narrow range. American Telephone lost more than 2 points for the day and International Telephone a point. Consolidated Gas held well while Electric Power and Light made a small gain. Cotton futures broke to new lows since 1915-1916 as the 1930-1931 season came to a close.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEV/ YORK, July 31.—Increasing dividend uncertainty appeared to be the principal factor in today’s unsettlement, Rather heavy pressure developed on several leading stocks as a result of anxiety over the maintenance of present dividends. This pressure, together with some foreign liquidation, quickly checked the early bulge, brought about largely by the continuation of Thursday’s short covering movement. Interest in foreign affairs was diverted to the strenuous efforts of the British government to balance its new budget. Possibly this embarrassment led to the selling reported as originating abroad, although the London market reflected no particular concern. Weakness in the commodity markets, with new lows for cotton, wheat and new crop com futures, was also a discouraging factor. While sentiment lacks that element of despair which was instrumental in depressing stocks last May, It also lacks any worthwhile optimism so far as the present is concerned. Os course, nothing comes nearer the heart of an investor than dividends. With talk of dividend reductions becoming more insistent and including leading industrial and rail shares, it will be difficult to build up Investment confidence. Moreover, it mitigates against a sustained recovery.

RECORD LOW IS MADE AS JULY WHEATCRASHES Short Covering Sends July Corn Up 4 3-8 Cents at End of Day. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 31.—Last-minute liquidation of July wheat sent that month tumbling to anew record alltime low on the Board of Trade today when it crashed 3 cents under Thursday’s close to 48 cents a bushel. This broke the record of 50 cents set by September just before noon. The close was on a downswing, with very little of the loss recovered. July corn reached 72 Vs cents on short covering just before the close for another substantial gain. The deferred months weakened or rain reports and the weakness in wheat and December set anew low since 1906. Oats also went into new low ground, but rallied. Cash Prices Steady At the close wheat was 3 cents lower on July and % to % cents lower on the deferred months; com was Vx to Vs cent lower, with July 4% cents higher, and oatswere Vx cent lower to Vx cent higher. Provisions were 20 to 30 points lower. Cheap Russian offerings weakened Liverpool and that market finished Vs to % cents lower. Winnipeg was weak on the rains in Canada and the American northwest but made a small rally early. Cash prices were unchanged with traders busy adjusting the basis to the September delivery. Receipts were 671 cars. July corn started slow and Vx cent lower but met good support and ran up 4 cents to 72 before meeting profit-taking and scattered selling that left the prices 3 cents higher at mid-session. Deliveries were 681,000 bushels early. Rains Are Needed There were no rains in the belt and temperatures remain fairly high but, while this gave the deferred months early firmness, they eased late on the prospects that the rains in the northwest w’ould work into the corn belt over the week-end. Prices were Vx cent lower to % cent higher early. Cash prices were Vz to 2% cents higher. Receipts were 16S cars. Oats suffered a dull trade but there was sufficient selling to put July and December at new lows for the season. July fell % cent early on scattered long liquidation while the deferred months were off Vx cent. Cash prices were unchanged to % cent lower. Receipts were 78 cars.

By United Press WILLIAMSTOWN, Mass., Aug. 1. —Recognition of Russia, cancellation of war debts and the success of the next disarmament conference at Geneva are the three factors most necessary for world peace, Norman Thomas, director of the League for Industrial Democracy, said Friday in an address at the Institute of Politics. The United States is preventing the accomplishment of the first two items, while France is the stumbling block in the third, Thomas said. A different view of disarmament was expressed by Frank H. Simonds, writer on foreign affairs, who said that with the world in its present state, disarmament might lead to armed conflict. Forger Seeks Capone’s Aid FRANKLIN, Neb., Aug. I.—Robert Van Allen, held in the county jail on a charge of forging a check for sl6, has written to Alphonse (Scarface Al) Capone of Chicago, asking for aid.

LIVESTOCK FREIGHT RATE TO OHIO CUT Charges From Texas to All Points ! in Indiana Held Fair. By United Press WASHINGTON, Aug. I.—The interstate commerce commission Friday ordered a slight downward revision of freight rates on carload shipments of cattle, calves and sheep from Ft. Worth, Tex., to Cincinnati, 0., and certain destinations in Ohio. The commission’s order upheld as reasonable present livestock rates from Texas to all points in Indiana and Ohio except Cincinnati. Commissioners Brainerd, Eastman and Lewis dissented, holding that the rates should be further reduced. Eastman said the report “preserved on livestock the antiquated and obsolescent method of constructing through rates between the west and the east by combination of the Mississippi river.’’ “This combination will be very materially higher in level than the eastern scale and even than the western scale,’’ Eastman wrote. The rate from Ft. Worth, Tex., to Cleveland, 0., would be 70 cents under the western scale rate but 83 cents under the approved combination rate. The rate to Columbus would be 66 cents under the western scale and 79 cents under the approved rate. The Indianapolis rates, respectively, are 59 and 70 cents and the Terre Haute rates, 57 and 66 cents. RETURN 2 IN ROBBERY Negro Pair Suspected Accomplices in Walker Theater Holdup.
