SHARES TAKE DROP
IN CURB DEALINGS
Recent _ Favorites Hit by
Break Due to Big Gain in
Brokers’ Loans.
RY WILLIAM F. HFFFF.KN AN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, January 5. For «
brief interval after the opening today
the speculative favorites on the Curb
Exchange ignored the weakness in the
main body of stocks on the big board.
Rut the support accorded these issues
finally proved to have been artificial
and prices gave way readily.
In view of the fact that the specu
lative element for several months had
completely ignored new peak records
in brokers’ loans, it was difficult to
envision the latest increase of more
than $341,000,000 in the Stock Ex
change figures as the reason for the
heavy liquidation today. Neverthe
less, this was what the Street set
down as the cause for the weakness.
There was no getting away from the
fact, however, that the public was
participating more liberally than at
any time in history, and that the loan
item had reached a point where the
technical structure of the market was
in an unsound state.
Such a recent favorite as United
States Freight was down over two
prints at intervals. American Rolling
Mills, after establishing a new high at
113, broke approximately f> points. Mid
land Steel Products common, one of
the spectacular performers up
side several weeks ago, broke 5 points
between sales and at 95 compared with
the previous final of 109. Firestone
Tire was selling 4 points under the
Wednesday final at 230. Maryland Cas
ualty at ISS recorded a loss of 5 points
on the day.
The weakness made itself felt for
the most part in those issues which
bad been most responsible to operations
for the rise and indicated that much of
the speculation on the side of advance
had been carried to extremes.
Newmont Mining, because of its
holdings in other mining issues, natu
rally came off sharply when weakness
developed on the metal shares on the
Stock Exchange. At 12$ the price
compared with the 1927 high of 139H
BANDIT SLAIN. TWO
CAPTURED IN CHICAGO
Hr tne Associated Press.
CHICAGO. January s.—lt was a
bad night for bandits. One was shot
lead, another was captured and a third
surrendered under pistol persuasion.
James Doodv, who hadn’t, forgotten
what he learned as a policeman,
walked into a holdup at the Frank
Nelson radio store and opened fire
with a revolver when the robber
whipped his own weapon around.
DoodVs single shot was fatal to the
bandit, who was identified as Stan
ley Hodana, 19.
‘At the Silver Moon Athletic Club
Robert Ahlgrin, 28, and John Rowan,
C 9, who said they were making their
maiden venture with masks and pis
tols. found a bullet reception awaiting
them from Patrolman Jeremiah Ma
honey. Ahlgrin surrendered under
Mahoney's fire, and Rowan was taken
later after he had jumped from a win
dow. They said they were without
work and had families to support.
WOOL QUOTATIONS.
BOSTON. January & (Special).—
Strength in foreign wools, with domes
tic wools in light supply here, plus a
steady absorption for mill account, is
sustaining optimism in the Boston
wool market. Worsted mill buying is
a factor in the market for good comb
ing sorts. Fine territory was quoted
today at 1.12a1.!5 clean basis. French
combing ax 1.06a1.1©; half blood at
1.02*1.05; three-eighths blood at 95a98
and quarter blood at ssaßs. Fine Ohio
fleect-s were quoted at 4iA4B grease
basis, half blood and three-eighths
blued at 45a49 and quarter blo<*d at
48a50.

WARFARE IN MEAT
INDUSTRY MS
East Against Cattle Grow
ing Areas One Result of
“Battle on Beef.”
I*Y J. C. HOYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. January s.—The con
test between meat consumers and the
producers, packers and retailers Is be
coming more bitter every day. to the
detriment of each parly in the con
troversy. over tho increased prices for
beef. It Is Involving a marked change
in diet among the inhabitants of some
sections of the United States, and is
bringing about a buyers’ resistance to
the products of certain sections which,
while It has not yet assumed the mag
nitude of a boycott, is undoubtedly
showing a trend in that direction.
Consumers in some sections of the
East have appealed to their fellows to
restrict their consumption of beef un
til the price of that commodity comes
down. In retaliation, the beef-pro
ducing sections have urged their
friends and neighbors to refuse to
buy goods produced in or shipped
from those districts where this anti
beef movement Is most active.
Additional Sale of Pork.
Meat production and consumption
for the last year In the United States
was slightly higher than in 1926, hut
this increase was due almost entire
ly to the additional sale of pork prod
ucts and there has been a marked
abandonment of beef and mutton In
favor of pork. Pork products at
wholesale are at the lowest levels In
three years, according to Oscar O.
Mayer, president of the Institute of
American Meat Packers, but beef
prices are on a higher level than In
1926.
The sharp fluctuations in the price
of veal, beef and mutton have made
the year an uncertain one for the
packers, hut it has been a prosperous
one for the live stock growers.
The outlook for this year, accord
ing to the packers, is showing im
provement. The general opinion in
tho industry is that industrial condi
tions will he as good as they were in
1927. That means a still further In
crease in the consumption of various
kinds of meat.
Substitutes in Europe.
The price of live stock, however, is
such as to put American meat prod
ucts beyond the reach of. some of
the European consumers, who have
substituted other articles of diet.
This country, however, is growing in
population at the rate of a million and
a half a year and the great majority
of this Increase Is composed of meat
consumers.
The rise in live stock prices, accord
ing to Louis F. Swift, president of
Swift St Co.. will set apart 1927 as a
year distinguished from all other years
in the industry.
"Heretofore,” he said, "supplies had
been heavy and prices low. Returns
to the range cattle producer had been
discouraging and many of them were
forced out of business. Each year it
was thought that liquidation muat be
about completed, but each year sup
plies continued heavy until 1927.
Then came the long expected turn.
"The total volume of cattle slaugh
tered during the early months of the
year was only slightly below the same
months In 1926. hut beginning in June
the numbers declined materially and
the last seven months of tha year
were about 10 per cent under the
previous year.
Shortage of Best Steers.
"The shortage was particularly
scute in high-grade beef steers, and
prices for this kind of cattle reached
a peak naver before approximated ex
cept for a brief time during tha war.
The higher prices revived the cattle
men’s interest In breeding stock, re
sulting in decreased supplies of range
cows for slaughter. Young stock also
was held hack for further growth,
which restricted the supply of this
kind of cattle.
“Taken altogether, producers were
paid $50,000,000 more for their cattle
In 1827 thsn In 1926. although the
marketing was 7 jwsr cent less, as far
aa numbers are concerned.”
That is the situation Mr. Swift au# i
other packers declare Is responsible
for the present price to the consumers.
