SELLING DRIVES STEEL TO NEW BOTTOM LEVEL Premier Industrial Breaks . Below 60 Under Bear Pressure. Average Stock Prices Average of thirty industrials for Saturday 97.42. off .54. Average of twenty rail* 45.33, up .24 Average of twenty utilities 37.60, off 42. Average of forty bonds 84.39. off .03. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 23.—United States Steel Corporation common stock succumbed to pressure on the Stock Exchange today and broke to anew low level since 1915. The stock touched its low of the last sixteen years in the first halfhour at 60 and then rallied to 61%. As noon approached, it met heavy selling orders and was driven below 60. Steel reached 59% before noon where it was oft lVi points from the previous close and 202 U points from the record high made in 1929. The whole market followed Steel down just as it had followed it up after the initial selling had been disposed of. Gains Are Lost Around noon prices were off fractions to more than 2 points, in contrast to the list before the end of the first hour, when gains were registered to the extent of more than a point in a long list of issues. Railroad shares were hard hit at the opening, and in the reaction just before the end of the second hour. Selling in this group was a direct result of the break up in the railroad parley on wages. Workers refused to take a voluntary wage cut, thus leaving the wage question open to a long series of arguments on both sides, with possibilities of labor troubles before an agreement was reached. New York Central dropped to a record low at 36, off 2. Illinois Central made anew low at 15%, off %. Volume Is Light Union Pacific broke to 89 T / 8 , off 2%, and anew low since 1903. Pennsylvania made anew low since listing on the Stock Exchange at 27%, off %, and New Haven made a new low since 1924 at 28, off 1. Atchison was down 2Vs at 99%. American Can, after touching 74% dropped to 72%, off 1% from the previous close. American Telephone dropped from 131% to 130%, off •% net; Case from 39% to 36%, off 1%; Auburn from 108% to 103%, off 2%; Westinghouse Electric from 37% to 36%, off %; Allied Chemical from 83% to 80%, off 1%, and Consolidated Gas from 69 to 67%, off %. There was no pickup in volume on the decline and around noon tickers were barely moving.

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 Saturday’s Times: Two Solids Make a Liquid— Choral hydrate (CCI3CH(OH)2) is a solid, crystalline substance, obtained by mixing choral (a liquid) with water, (another liquid). Gum-amphor is a dehydrated distillate of the leaves, bark and chipped wood of the camphor tree. The combination of the two solids yields a liquid. Tuesday—“A Man Who Holds 1,800 Patents.” CANADIAN GRAIN TRAFFICJEAVY Large Increase Noted Over Previous Year. By Times Special WINNIPEG, Manitoba, Nov. 23. The business of moving eastern Canada's grain to market continues heavy, and loadings from Nov. 12 to 18 along Canadian National railways’ lines on the prairies totaled 5,085 cars with 7,269,00 bushels, an increase of 1,358 cars and 2,256,000 bushels over the corresponding period of 1930.

HOUSE LINEUP HINGES ON TEXAS ELECTION Congressman to Be Married Tuesday; Speakership, Control Involved By United Press SAN ANTONIO, Tex., Nov. 23.—A successor to the late Congressman Harry Wurzbach, Republican, will be chosen Tuesday when Texas voters go to the polls in the fourteenth congressional district. The election has assumed national importance, because of the close party lineup in the house. The count now stands, 217 Democrats and 214 Republicans. If a Republican is elected, the chances of a Texan, John N. Garner, Democrat, becoming speaker of the house, may be jeopardized. A Democrat victory virtually would cinch his election. The candidates are Carl Wright Johnson, San Antonio attorney, and Richard M. Kleberg, corpus Christi rancher. C. M. Anderson is the Republican candidate.

GRAIN FUTURES SELL DOWN IN LIGHTTRAOING Week-End Selling Orders Force Options Lower at Opening. BY HEROLD E. RAINVILLE United Pre* Staff Corresnondent CHICAGO. Nov. 23.—G rains opened highly irregular on the Board of Trade today with a great deal of uncertainty in the air. Liverpool showed sharply higher but when changed into American money was equal to unchanged to %c lower. Crop news was about the same. Buenos Aires was \ to lc lower. Trade was rather light with most of the action coming from selling orders accumulated over the weekend. Corn was uneven with March showing excellent strength against weakness in the other months. Oats was uneven with corn. At the opening wheat was 's to l%c lower, corn was '*c lower to %c higher, oats %c lower to %c higher, and rye % to % c down. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was much higher than expected, advancing % to 1 cent by mid-afternoon. Corn has the appearance of a two-sided market. The cash situation in ‘the west and northwest has eased somewhat and futures are not getting the same support as early last week. The movement has been light end probably will continue so for some time as the coumrv got a thorough soaking during the past three days. Oats have maintained a Arm tone. Interest has been light.
