STOCK SHARES SHOW UNEVEN TRADINGRANGE Prices Irregular After Early Decline and Recovery. Average Stock Prices Average of thirty industrials for Tuesday 91.77, off 2.10. Average of twenty rails 40.89, up .05. Average of twenty utilities 36.99. off .07. Average of forty bonds 81.87, off .07. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 2.—The stock market was hesitant around noon today with prices mixed after a spirited decline and a recovery. First impressions of traders were to unload railroad shares following receivership for Wabash railway announced after the close Tuesday. Then when word came from Ottawa that the Canadian conciliation board had recommended a wage cut of 10 per cent for Canadian railroad men, the shorts became panicky and covered hurriedly, their buying sending the whole list up. Asa more careful study of the railroad situation was made, the market was subjected to further selling. Traders reasoned that a wage cut if granted would be only a minor aid and one that would not come for some time. Stock Outlook Poor In the interim railroad bonds were expected to default in some quantity and all aids in the form of economies, rate increases and wage cuts would go to the help of the bonds, leaving the stocks stranded. Railroad news dominated. In addition to the items noted, car loadings for the week ended Nov. 21 declined 36,863 cars from the preceding week, less than seasonal drop. Word from Washington said the interstate commerce commission would soon issue its report on the railroads’ pooling plan in connection with the proposed freight rate increases. Rock Island deferred action on its preferred stocks in line with expectations. Railroad shares were carried through wide arcs. New York Central touched 30 1 i and came back to 34 l~j, up 2's from the previous close. Steel Moves Light Atchison rose from 90 1 i to 97 up 3 1 - net and Pennsylvania from a new* low of 22 to 23 7 s, up 7 S . These gains were wiped out around noon. Wabash common stock which sold at a record high of 964 in 1928, was down to Ts while the preferred A stock, which touched 1044 in 1929, was down to l 3 i. Wabash railway bonds were off ll 7/ 8 to 15 points, the 5s of 1926 B selling at Ills; the 5s of 1980 D at 10 and the first 5s of 1939 at 65. Steel common rose to 5514 from a low of 52% and other industrials followed it up. All reacted from their highs and around noon were irregular. Lorillard advanced more than a point on resumption of dividends for the first time since 1927.

BY BEN STERN Usurpation by the state tax board of powers that do not belong to it inherently has been watched with misgivings for some time by leaders of both parties, who genuinely are interested in the welfare of Indiana's government. That is why the decision of Judge John Kern in favor of the city of Indianapolis was greeted with cheers on almost all sides today. Ever since 1927, when the legislature was cajoled into passing the law which permits the tax board to investigate budgets and order slashes at its own discretion, or where the fancy and animosities of the members of the board dictate, aprrehension has been expressed. This czaristic power took away one of the last vestiges of selfgovernment and left many municipalities in a crippled condition as to city improvements. In Indianapolis the tax board’s uftstudied and haphazard slashes left the people without sufficient funds to gain complete control of the gas company, and to fight for relief from the high rates of the Indianapolis Power and Light Company and the Indianapolis Water Company. Or perhaps in view of what use was to be made of the money, the question is asked: “Was the abolition of the mayor’s $25,000 contingency fund haphazard or unstudied? an Casual perusal of the record of the paid lobbyists who fought for reduction of the budget reveals a close relationship with the railroad operators, who are, in turn, allied with promoters of the utility holding companies. Leading the fight to cut the city’s operating budget was Harry Miesse. secretary of the Indiana Taxpayers’ Association, who for years represented the New York Central railroad. Lobbying tactics of its agents have been, if anything, slightly provocative of boredom, to use a mild expression. Ever since James Showalter became chairman of the state tax board and a relative became an employe of the taxpayers’ MiesSe’s altitude has become more and more dominating. In fact the manner in which he struts about the corridors of the statehouse give casual passers-by the impression that he is “Mr. Indiana, who owns the statehouse.” nun Os course Showalter as a Repub-! lican wheelhorse doesn’t care how much he may embarrass Democratic city administrations in the state, while Philip Zoercher, sole Demo- i cratic member, is, according to one leader of that party, “one of the best Republicans the Democrats have got. “In fact, he has held office under Republicans so long he seems to have become imbued with their point ol view.” Politically, the Kern decision has given heart and courage to the members of both parties, who feel that government by the people hasbeen superseded by government by the tax beard. Expressions are heard that the next legislature will see that some changes- are made in the law. But before that the next Governor should see that some changes are made in the personnel.

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; A Woman Who Lived in Three Centuries—A remarkable life was that of the old lady who lived in three centuries. Born in the eighteenth century in Slovakia, she lived through the entire nineteenth century and died two years after the twentieth century was ushered in. Nor was the centenarian spared many of the afflictions of life. During an epidemic in Budapest, where she lived many years, she lost her husband and five of her children in one week. Her only surviving child is the grandmother of Robert A. Schelesinger of 530 Parsons boulevard, Flushing, Long Island, who contributes this interesting item. The British Isles Can Be Seen From Isle of Man—The distance from Isle of Man to Burrow Head, Scotland, is sixteen miles; to Saint Bees Head. England, twenty-eight miles; to Ballyquintni Point, Ireland, twenty-six and one-half miles, and to Anglesey. Wales, for-ty-two miles. A sightseer on top of Snaefell (2,034 feet) thus is enabled to view all these component parts of the British Isles from Isle of Man. Thursday: “The Man Who Was Sentenced to Go Without Pants.”

STRONG CABLE - REPORTS SEND WHEATHIGHER Sentiment Improves on Firm Buying: Corn, Oats Uneven. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 2.—Wheat ro6e a minor fraction as the Board of Trade opened today in sympathy with Liverpool. There was moderate buying and only scattered selling, with little desire to press the market shown at the start. Liverpool was firm on a better demand and better foreign advices. Corn held close to the previous close, with March slightly weak. Oats was mostly steadv, with May off. At the opening wheat was 4 cent to 4 cent higher, corn was 4 cent lower to 4 cent higher and oats unchanged to 4 cent lower. Provisions were steady. Liverpool Shows Gain Liverpool responded in full to the rise here Tuesday, but lost part of the gain, at mid-afternoon being 14 pence to 2 pence higher, equal to 4 cent to % cent up. Another 5-point drop in sterling was a partial aid. The good class of buying and strong close at Chicago in the face of denials of the report that Russia was buying wheat in Australia for its own use caused an improvement in sentiment. Owing to the fact that Chicago December was 3 cents above Liverpool at the close Tuesday night, export demand is expected to continue to be restricted. Damage Claims Made Claims of damage have been made in Argentina again, based upon temperatures of 109 degrees and rains in sections. Corn is dominated day to day by the action !n wheat. The country marketings are very light at a time when a flush movement should be under way. But at the same time, the shipping demand also has tapered off so the market is getting little support from the action of the cash business. The shipping demand for oats showed improvement Tuesday with sales of 122,000 bushels reported. Inquiry also was heard for exports, but no business was reported.
