Stocks Find Going A Bit Rough
As Many Leaders Run In Trouble
NEW YORK, Sept. 28— (fp) —
Shocks found the going a bit rough
in today’s market and, while
selected issues posted good advan
ces. many leaders did nothing or
slipped into minus territory;_
Gains of fractions to*appoint or
so were well distributed at the
opening. Dealings then dwindled
,md top marks were reduced in
most instances. There were a few
s'l ong and weak spots at the close
lot final variations were, on the
whole, of minor amounts.
The crisis in the defense of
Sialingrad as fresh Nazi forces
pounded the city was hardly con
ducive to bullishness. On the other
hand, special situations on the
home front inspired bidding and
a nation ideas would not down
notwithstanding likelihood of a
Congressional compromise on the
\ age-price dispute.
The Associated Press average of
tin stocks was unchanged at 37.8.
The market was relatively broad,
(iD2 issues being traded. Of these
243 were up, 250 down and 199 un
changed. Transfers of 401,730
mares compared with 680,4-26 in
the preceding full session.
Among favorites. Santa Fe hit a
new 5 year top, Schenley was at
me best level since 1938 and Cana
dian Pacific at a peak for 1942.
Retaining improvement were Dow
Chemical. U. S. Steel, Bethlehem,
Atlantic Coast Line, Yellow Truck,
Douglas Aircraft, Texas Co. and
DCI Pont.
Santa t e apparently was buoyed
by Wall street predictions direct,
ors tomorrow would vote a divi-'
oend of $1.50 on the commtfh. The
intensified scrap salvage campaign
aid a higher mill operating rate
this week aided steels.
Dome Mines was off 1V« and
homestake Mining 2% as further
shifts of labor from gold produc
tion to the base metal field were
expected. Gold mining operations
recently have been at about 40 per
cent of capacity.
General Motors was unchanged
end Chrysler Vs lower. Moderate
set-backs were suffered by U. S.
Rubber, American Telephone, N.
Y Central, Great Northern, Union
Pacific, Chesapeake and Ohio.
Consolidated Edison, Standard Oil
(N. J.), Boeing and J. C. Penney
Rails lost much of their recent
steam on further apprehension
over wage demands although
cheering revenue statements serv
ed as a prop.
In the curb forward leanings
v.-ere displayed by Pittsburgh Plate
Glass, N. J. Zinc, Republic Avia
t on and Pantepec. Declines were
recorded for Humble Oil, Pennrod,
Creole Petroleum, Gulf Oil and
Lake Shore. The aggregate nere
\ as 74,295 shares versus 96,790 last
Friday.

COTTON FUTURES
HIT NEW BOTTOM
Final Net Losses Of 40 To
75 Cents A Bale Reg
istered On Market
NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(A>)—Cot
ton futures dropped to new lows
for the session just before the close
today to show final net losses of 40
to 75 cents a bale.
Up to this late flurry of hedge
selling, prices moved irresolutely
within a small ranee as traders
riveted attention on Washington for
developments in the price control
bill. A modest amount of early
support v/as attributed to price fix
ing against the purchase of 150,000
bales in the open market for lend
lease operations, the bulk of which
took place last week. The v-om
modity Credit Corp. also was re
ported to have bought 65.000 bale^
within the past week for its crop
insurance fund.
Advices to the trade indicated
cotton mills were exhibiting a
greater interest in spot fibre with
higher prices paid for the better
grades. . ,
Worth Street trade circles ex
pressed the belief the announce
ment on Saturday that bids would
be opened by the government on
October 15 for 82.500.000 yards of
cotton cloth was the forerunner of
further large commitments for the
military forces. , , . . ,

tions in the woolen goods market
today was small.
An expected large government
order for rayon material suitable
for parachutes has not materializ
ed and may be deferred for some

LITTLE 10UBLE
ON BO D MARKET
Issues Have Small Difficul
ty In Finding Direc
tion On Trading
NEW YORK, Sept. 28—(#)—The
bond market had a little difficulty
in finding its direction today, re
sulting in a general mixture of
small gains and losses for the main
corporate list.
Trading held up well, however,
although the total dropped substan
tially below the big days of last
week when the rails were on a for
ward march. Sales of $10,111,900,
par value, compared with $14,854,
000 last Friday. The Associated
Press averages showed only slight
changes either way.
The rail section continued to at
tract the largest contingent of buy
ers, although profit taking ham
pered various individual loans.
Emerging with modest advances,
mostly less than a point, were
Baltimore and Ohio Stamped Con
vertibles of '60 at 24%, Boston ana
Maine 4s at 72%, Chesapeake and
Ohio 3%s at 104, Rock Island 4s at
30%, Colorado and Southern 4%s
at 26%, Rio Grande Western 4s at
21%, Kansas City, Ft. Scott and
Memphis 4s at 64%, New York
Central Convertible 3%s at 87%
and St. Louis-San Francisco 4%s
at 22%.
Falling back a peg or two were
various loans of the St, Paul, Chi
cago and North Western, Delaware
and Hudson, Erie, Lehigh Valley,
Missouri Pacific, New Orleans,
Texas and Mexico and New Haven.
The general run of industrials
and utilities held within a narrow
range and the trend was mixed.
U. S. Governments were only
slightly changed either way on the
stock exchange and over the coun
ter.
Argentine 4s and Chile 7s were
among foreign dollar bonds im
proving. —r

Only As Last Resort
Should Mothers Work
KANSAS CITY. Sept. 28.—UP)—
The Rev. John J. Lennon told the
National Conference of Catholic
Charities today "only as a last
resort should mothers be required
th leave the home for employment,
but to embattled America this last
resort is now being presented in
many areas.”
"Here is a tremendous decision
American children,” said MR. Len
non, director of the division of
children of the New York Catholic
agencies.
He suggested that if existing fa
cilities for day care of children
are inadequate in any community
Catholic charities must set up the
needed facilities. 1

All Grains Show Decline
On Chicago Market;
Crop Damage News
CHICAGO, Sept. 28—(/P)—Wheat
prices tumbled more than a cent a
bushel, rye as much as 2 cents at
one time and corn about a cent to
day as selling of grains increased
as a result of Washington reports
about price control developments.
With trade attention centered on
the price legislation, most import
ant market factor at present, deal
ers virtually ignored the worst
crop damage news of the season
mostly concerning late soybeans
and corn. Brokers said the mar
ket’s reaction despite these reports
reflected belief that regardless of
weather damage at the very end
of the growing season crops larger
than government goal for 1942 will
be harvested anyway.
Wheat closed 1%-1% cents lower
than Saturday. December $1.27%

Josiali W. Bailey, Representative J.
Bayard Clark and Representative
Graham A. Barden.
The, farmers pointed out that “the
harvesting of crops necessary for
the war effort within the next few

Guard Against
Wartime Constipation!
It’s frequently due
to lack of ‘ ‘bulk”
Millions of folks these war days feel all
dragged out, with no zip or pep. And no
wonder! Their working, sleeping, and
especially their eating habits are all dif
ferent. Meals are apt to be hurried,
improperly balanced—and they neglect
the important matter of "bulk;1 in the
diet.
Yet getting enough “bulk” might make
all the difference. For lack of it is one
of the common causes of constipation.
Medicinal laxatives give only temporary
relief in such cases; they don’t fact at
the cause.
But KELLOGG'S ALL-BRAN Corrects this
constipation by supplying the needed
“bulk”; often brings lasting freedom
from the trouble. Eat this crisp, deli
cious cereal regularly, drink plenty of
water and “Join the Regulars."all*bran

BLACKOUTS OR AIR RAIDS
Office of Civilian Defense Says that Telephone lines
Must Be Kept Open for Vital Calls
The Office of Civilian Defense has urgently re
quested that local and long distance telephone lines
be kept clear of non-essential calls during blackouts
or air raids so that calls vital to the community's
protection can have the right of way.
Non-essential calls prevent the efficient oper
ation of official military and civilian agencies, caus
ing delays on their calls to fire and police depart
ments, hospitals and doctors.
Therefore, Civilian Defense authorities urge
that telephone users refrain from calling during
blackouts or air raids and for a reasonable period
thereafter unless exceptional need exists. This will
enable these defense agencies to act with the great
est possible speed in emergencies.
Telephone employes are already organ
ized and trained to handle all emer
gencies affecting telephone service. If
damage occurs, they will be on the job
quickly to make repairs.
