YEAR-END TAX SELLING SENDS STOCKS LOWER Accounts Cleaned Up as Trade Prepares for m Average Stock Prices Average of thirty industrials for Thurs“jy - 13 Average of twenty rails 33 f2, of! .06. Average of twenty utilities 31.41. of. Average of forty bonds 79.90 I up .19. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, Dec. 28.—Year-end tax selling was responsible for another decline in stocks today. Prices were steady at the opening but selling orders forced the list down fractions to more than 2 points. Volume remained small. United States Steel came within a fraction of its bear market low of 36, against a previous close of 37%, while new lows for the major decline were made by American Telephone at 112%, off 2%, and Westinghouse Electric at 22%, off 2%. Railroads Move Down Auburn Auto dropped to 126, off 4; American Can 59%, off 1%; Du Pont 53%, off %; Eastman Kodak 77%, off 3%; Woolworth 33, off 1%, and Allied Chemical 65%, off 1. Ulilities were down fractions to more than a point and railroad shares also gave ground to the extent of a point. In the former division Consolidated Gas dipped to 58, off 1%, and North American 31%, off 1%. Among the rails to lose a point were Atchison at 82 Yz and Baltimore Sz Ohio at 15. No support was given by the bond market, where prices gave ground in the railroad division. The grain market held steady at small losses for wheat. Cotton futures also were down small amounts. Cleaning Up Accounts The light trading was accounted for by the fact that operators were cleaning up their accounts for the old year and preparing for the new. Such trading as occurred was for specific purposes and speculative operations were almost nil. Traders have only three days to do any selling to establish tax losses they may desire to take. On Thursday all such transactions must be made for cash and immediate delivery. The street wa-s worried somewhat by reports the new revenue act would nullify the tax losses for 1931, but this did not stop traders from taking such losses in the event the clause permitting these lasses were permitted to stand.

STORK PARTIAL TO BOYS, BIRTH RECORDS SHOW Males Lead, 105 to 100, in Spite of Higher Death Rate, Says Savant. Bv United Press NEW ORLEANS, La., Dec. 28. Although the pre-natal mortality of males it far greater, the male population of the earth is increasing more rapidly that the female, Professor Sanford Winston informed the American Association for the Advancement of Science today. The North Carolina State college scientest did not hazard a guess as to the ultimate result of this sex ration. For every 100 girls born there are 105 boys, he said. Since sex is determined at conception, Dr. Winston declared, any change in the sex ra'tio must occure between the time of conception and the time of birth. There is a heavy mortality during this prenatal existence of the child, and It is a demonstrated fact, he said, these deaths are predominately male. At the time of conception there is an extraordinary high proportion of males, amounting to at least 110 males for every 100 females. Thus, he said, it is concluded the high sex ratio at the time of conception has become lowered materially at the time of birth due to factors which operate in such as way as to affect males more than females. New Wonders on Display X-rays that prove southpaw ball players and left-handed letter waiters are born and not made are on exhibit, and “birth cries” of newborn atoms will be heard during the nation’s greatest science exhibition, opening today. These are only two of hundreds of scientific wonders that will be displayed, or exhibited during the eighty-ninth annual meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Among others are: Wires or threads made of water and mercury. A chemical that tests the tasters’ tasters. Reproduction of rocks on the face of the moon. The X-ray which determines before birth whether a child will be left-handed or right-handed is the result of study of 500 babies in Grand Rapids, Mich., by Dr. T. O. Menees and Dr. L. E. Holly. Caesarean Aid Seen * If the upper ends of the arm and leg bones are heavier on the right arm or leg, the child will be right handed in nine cases out of ten, the doctors found. The useful feature of this new X-ray photography is the ability to determine probable weight of a child which must be born through a Caesarean operation. The physician using this X-ray may determine before birth if the child has a chance to survive. "The birth cries ol the new-born atom, so called by Dr. Robert A. Millikan, are the “sounds” made by cosmic rays plunging through electrified gas in a small tube with a power that would drive through twenty feet of lead. This plunge sets an electric current in motion which is amplified until it sounds like the ticking of a watch or the click of a telephone receiver. Taste Test Is Novel These rays come from any direction, and go through anything, including the human body. They have been “in transit” through space millions of light years distant from the earth. The taste test is made with a chemical known as phenylthiocarbamide, which some folks can test and some can not. Tests heretofore have been conducted in Republican territory. New Orleans may be counted in Democratic territory. The comparative testing ability of Democrats and Republicans therefore will be tested. Dr. Burton E. Livingston of Johns Hopkins university has re-created in a tube the negative pressure in a tree. A tree may draw up water forty or fifty feet with greater force than used by a suction pump. Livingston has taken this pressure or attraction to make a fine thread or wire of water and mercury. the water thread having the tensile strength of a brass wire. The rocks from the moon are reconstructed by Dr. Fred E. Wright of Carnegie Institute after study of the light emitted from the moon, and polarization of that light.

In the Cotton Markets (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Dec. 24.—Cotton continued its impartial attitude giving neither friend nor foe encouragement. Its resistance to pressure is apparent, but what it could do if trade buying were augumented by a pwblic demand, no one knows, because that character of buying is reduced to the merest threat. We do not doubt that handicapped as it. is by makeshift legislation and other attempts to supplant the laws of supply and demand, nature, which is never in a hurry, is gradually working out the problem of oversupply. We base our friendly attitude toward cotton on the fundamental principle that neither cotton nor anything else can be produced over an indefinite period at a loss to the producer. There is no sentiment in our conclusion and it carries with it no positive belief that the south will profit by its decent. CHICAGO —Dec. 24 . High. Low. Close.

Politicians are awaiting with much interest the “keynote” speech on prohibition which Murray is understood to be preparing. “I’ll give them anew idea on prohibition,” he has said. “It may not please all the radicals, but I will go right down the line.” The convention of the AntiSaloon League, Jan. 15-19, is regarded as one of the most important in its history, owing to the presidential campaign, the increasing pressure of modification forces and the fact that congress is in session.

BRAIN FUTURES SHOW STEADY TRADINGRANGE Wheat Eases Fractionally at Opening on Dull Cable News. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 28.—Wheat was easy as the Board of Trade opened today with the failure of Liverpool to respond to the advance here before the holidays the chief factor. Liverpool was dull and steady with light North American shipment* a supporting factor. Wheat lost only a minor fraction at the start on scattered selling, support being poor. Corn had a firm undertone with some buying and a lack of pressure. Oats held with corn and was firm. Liverpool Unchanged At the opening wheat was 14 to V* cent lower; corn was unchanged to Vs cent higher, and oats unchanged to % cent higher. Provisions were weak. Liverpool showed no material change when resuming operations after the three-day holiday, and was unchanged at mid-afternoon equal to Vs cent lower to cent higher. Country" holders are selling cash corn only moderately. Industries are expected to re-enter the market next week on a much larger scale than recently. Weather Is Mild Mild weather over most of the agricultural region has reduced the feeding requirements and the saving from this source is expected to be considerable unless weather conditions change. Temperatures were slightly lower today but there was no precipitation of consequence. Oats have been attracting some attention from commission houses and professional operators, but otherwise interest is not large. The close last Thursday showed small losses for the week.
