of thirty industrials for Wednesday 66.46. off 1.61. Average of twenty rails 24 90, off 87. Average of twenty utilities 25.12, off .98. Average of forty bonds 72.28, off .62. BY ELMER C. WALZER t'nitrd Press financial Editor NEW YORK, April 7.—The stock market made a brave attempt to rally today, but weakness in special issues prevented the rise from attaining wide proportions. In the early morning pressure converged on American Can and the issue broke to 52?i, off points and anew low since 1927. Selling in Can was induced by reports the company had several bank loans coming due and by a suit brought against it by several New Jersey packing companies alleging fraudulent price arrangement. List Under Pressure American Can’s decline unsettled the market and when it ran its course selling broke out in other issues in isolated groups. S. S. Kresge was under pressure, breaking to a record low for the present shares at 9%, off 3'*. Columbia Gas was weak in the utilities, making anew low at 8, off IV4. Chesapeake Corporation and Allegheny Corporation, Van Sweringen holding companies, made new record lows in the railroad group. Oil Shares Firm Leading industrials resisted the selling in these special issues. Around noon United States Steel was at 35V*, up U; Auburn Auto 57 \i , up 2% ; General Motors 13 up It ; Allied Chemical 83 ■%, up 1; Case 28',4, up 1. American Telephone rose more than a point to 108%, while Consolidated Gas held unchanged at 5214. New York Central, after touching 2114, a record low, came back to 2214, up "i net in the railroad division. Oil shares continued to feature the groups, the majority making small gains.

In the Cotton Markets

i • ißv Thomson tc McKinnon' NEW YORK, April 6.—Sufficient trade buying was uncovered by a 10 point decline in cotton this morning to steady the market up to the noon hour. Local traders were bearish and there was little public support. The weekly weather was reported good in some localities and unfavorable in others. On the whole apparently about an i average for this time of the year. In most cases brokers were trading on differences, buying one month and selling another. Several new agricultural bills were introduced in congress and a member of the farm board w r as out with another interview. Nothing of much interest but enough to redirect the trades attention to the governments participation in the cotton business. We are of the opinion that cotton is selling at an attractive investment price. NEW YORK —April 6 High. Low. Close.

Test Planes for Gas By Science Service WASHINGTON, April 7.—A1l new airplanes built in the future for the United States navy will be tested at the factory for presence of carbon monoxide in the cockpits, and if this deadly gas is found, even in minute quantities, it must be eliminated before the planes will be accepted by the government. This new requirement is the result of an investigation into the hazard of the pilot from the exhaust fumes of his engine, conducted by Dr. Joel J. White of the division of aviation medicine of the navy. Blood tests of pilots after flights revealed that the highest concentration of carbon monoxide in the blood, 15 per cent of saturation, was not sufficient to cause unconsciousness, but was enough, if continued over a long period, to have a bad effect on the pilot’s health and efficiency.

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 Wednesday’s Times: Trumpeting Through the Neck— The nagas inhabit the hill country of Assam, and wear aprons or petticoats for religious reasons. They are very skillful performers, on the Indian flute or trumpet, which they play by pressing the instrument against their necks. The trumpets are constructed so finely that the small quantity of air propelled by the pressure of the neck on the opening of the tube will produce the sound. Rooster-Shaped Money—Kedah, county of the bizarre roostershaped money, is on the west coast of the Malay peninsula, and covers an area of about 5,000 square miles. Shape of the coin is dictated by some sacred religious symbolism connected with the rooster. The Reporter Who Happened There Before the Accident— Somebody had telephoned the Washington Herald that an automobile had rolled down an embankment at First street and Michigan avenue, Northwest, in Washington, D. C. Asa reporter arrived on the scene of the alleged accident he found that the mishap had not occurred yet. But while the reporter was surveying the locality, muttering his disappointment an automobile whizzed past him, plunged up the side of the embankment, back to the street again, and turned upside down. Out of the driver’s seat climbed Charles Mahaney, unhurt, none the worse for his experience, to be greeted by the reporter who got there before the accident. Friday: The Book That Never Was Written.

‘REGULARS’ IN LEAD La Follette’s Control of Wisconsin Menaced. By United Press MILWAUKEE, April 7.—Control of the La Follette faction over the Republican party in Wisconsin was threatened today when “stalwart” Republicans went into the lead in sixteen of the twenty-seven contests for delegates to the national convention. The La Follette slate, pledged to Senator George W. Norris of Nebraska, trailed in races for four of the seven delegates-at-large and for twelve of the twenty district delegates, as the “stalwart” slate, uninstructed but favorable to President Hoover, made serious inroads in late returns. Instead of capturing the Wisconsin delegation by a majority of at least one delegate, as previous tabulation had indicated, Senator Robert M. La Follette Jr. and Governor Phillip F. La Follette found one of the closest races in years on their hands. PERMANENT WAVE SBO That’s Cost to Beauty Operator for Burning Customer.

WEATHER NEWS AGAIN FORCES WHEAIJIGHER Increasing Damage Reports Add Bullish Tone to Major Grain. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, April 7.—" Wheat continued to show strength as the. Board of Trade opened today with prices advancing fractionally under the stimulus of overnight orde.s. Buying was encouraged by the report that the dry sections of Kansas and the southwest again went without moisture. Liverpool was somewhat firm with a better demand. Stocks were weak but had no effect at the start. Corn and oats were steady with wheat in a slow trade. Opening Is Higher At. the opening wheat was % to A* cent higher, corn and oats were unchanged to cent higher. Provisions were more active and steady. Liverpool opened about as expected and held steady thereafter, showing % to % cent higher at mid-afternoon, despite an advance in sterling. The background for extensive operations is present in wheat owing to the increasing damage reports from the southwest on winter wheat. Plentiful supplies is restricting the foreign buyers and preventing them from being interested in the situation. It is a weather market as usual at this time of the year. Kansas Needs Rain Scattered showers fell in eastern Kansas, but western Kansas, where rainfall is needed, failed to receive moisture. Corn is showing no desire to break away from the influence of wheat. Prices had a good rally Wednesday, but on the advance the country booked 45,000 bushels. The shipping demand gave some indications of picking up. It was reported that Canada did a good export business in oats on Wednesday, although amounts were not given. Seeeding is reported to have progresssed as far north as South Dakota.
