SUNDAY, APRIL 26, 1931,/ RASK‘U’B’hN‘jF’L’EA’S’URT JOURNEY m EUROPE TAKES TIME TO DENY INTEN¬ TIONS OF MAKING PROHIBITION ISSUE IN 1932 ELECTIONS New Y’ork, April 25. (£>)—“Con¬ servatively bullish” on the business situation and convinced that prohibi¬ tion, the tariff and farm relief will he the principal issues in the 1932 cam¬ paign, John J. Raskob, chairman of the Democratic national committee, is hound for Europe on a pleasure trip. He sailed on the Italian liner Augus¬ tus with his daughter, Betty. Mr. Raskob, in a formal statement, took occasion to deny that he intends to make prohibition the single issue. “A great many of our Democratic friends,” he said, “seem to believe that the chairman of the national committee is trying to make prohibi¬ tion an issue. Nothing is further from the truth. The fact is that our survey shows that prohibition is bound to be an important issue and the reason for discussion and con¬ sideration at this time is that it be¬ comes ample extremely important to have time and opportunity for full, fair, frank and open discussion if our party hopes to reach a conclusion that can be reduced to a platform plank.” Discussing the business situation, he said: “I believe we are practically through all the liquidation necessary to establish business on a real rock foundation. I am sure the hope of all engaged in big industries is that wage, reductions will prove unneces¬ sary,” MARKETS By CLAUDE A. JAGGER Associated Press Financial Editor. New York, April 25. (/P)—Persistent liquidation poured through the stock market in today’s week-end session, wearing the general level of share ket’s prices down closer to the bear mar¬ low established in December. Selling was orderly, and in only moderately large volume, in view of the fact that the market had to di¬ gest the news of the suspension of one of the largest commission houses late in yesterday’s session. Losses in pivotal industrials and utilities were largely restricted to a point or two, although substantially wider declines appeared in spots. Transactions for the two-hour session were around a million and a half shares. Short covering, or possibly support¬ ing orders, gave several of the promi¬ nent issues slight upturns in the early dealings, but these were soon lost. Selling gained volume as the session wore on. American Banknote, Johns Manville and Goodyear dropped 4 to 5 to new lows while issues off 2 to 3 included Allied Chemical, Consolidated Gas, Dupont, Electric Autolite, Case, Re¬ public Steel, Westinghouse Electric, New York Central, and Southern Rail¬ way. Oils were sold rather heavily, pos¬ sibly reflecting publication of the earnings statement of Standard of N. Y. Standard of N. J. sagged a point to a new minimum, and Texas Corp. lost as much. Wall street estimates of Texas Corp’s, first quarter earn¬ ings are unfavorable. NAVAL STORES Savannah, April 25. (/P)—Turpen¬ tine firm 48 to 50; sales 184; receipts 464; shipments 398; stock 9,418.

(/P) An old — controversy between American and 'Foreign shipping interests has been revived by the sailing of the Cunarder Mauretania with 815 passengers for a week-end cruise to the Bahamas. Coastwise shipping companies are disturbed about what they call an vasion of their territory. They plain foreign ships are injuring their business, as well as the business of holiday resorts in the New York area. The foreign shippers retort that they are opening up a popular form of travel appreciated by passengers have long wanted to take a brief trij to sea on a large liner. In this cor. nectioh, the fact that prohibition does not apply to certain nearby islands is mentioned. Until a few years ago the foreign lines stayed closely to the lrans-Al; lantic trade except for a few winter cruises. By experimenting they found there was profit in short cruises in Caribbean ports. The United States shipping boprd met this competition by „ denouncing „ the .... Cunard _______________, Line, which _______ was contesting with the Ward Lino for Havana business, and by transfer¬ ring a governmenot ship to ’he Ward fleet. The competition is expected to be stronger than ever this summer. The Mauretania’s cruise is the first of 28 to be made by foreign vessels this season.
