a I S. 16 THE BINGHAMTON PRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 6, 1930. Final Prices Lowest of Day at Close; Prices Drift in Light Volume Losses of 1 to 05 Are Common on Big Board Market Gains Little Comfort From Merchandising Organizations LIST OPENED STEADY Further Heaviness in Gasoline Prices Complete Petroleum Situation New York, Dee. 6 (Associated Press) The market ended the week with a further downward drift of prices today. Trading was in light volume, but rails were again conspicuously heavy, several penetrating further into new ground, elsewhere the list points and, were common, although few declines exceeded 2 points.

market gained little comfort from reports from merchandising organizations indicating that retail trade was showing no more improvement it than expected, and reports that there had been some necessitous selling in the past few trading sessions dampened any cheer which might have been gained from the limited rally in the last hour yesterday. Selling WAS not inclined to swell in volume, however, the day's sales aggregating only about 720.000 shares. In the main, final prices were lowest of the day, and the lowest of the week. The list opened about steady, but grew Increasingly heavy throughout the two-hour session. The weekend reports from the Youngstown steel area were encouraging.

It appears that steel orders placed by automobile manufacturers will bring a distinct upturn in the operations of some the smaller Independents next week, which will offset a decline in Republic's operations, leaving the aggregate at about 43 per cent of rated capacity An encouraging aspect of the weekend reports was the Increase shown in the volume of bank clearinge, presumably indicating that holiday requirements for funds are being felt in fair volume. In 22 leading cities, the decline from last year was less than 24 per cent, the smallest in several weeks. Recent weekly declines have averaged about 1380 per cent. heaviness in gasoline prices complicated the already disturbed pesituation, but crude prices seemed still to be holding fairly steady. The action of Prairle In withdrawing as a general crude oil purchaser, however, may be rather hard on some of the small producers.

Move for Tier State College to Be Revived Whitcomb Says He Again Will Introduce Bill in Legislature Assemblyman Forman E. Whitcomb of Endleott said that plans to reintroduce today, state Legislature next January his bill appropriating $100,000 for the establishment of a state college in the vicinity of the Triple Cities, This is the fifth year that the bill has gone before the Legislature and Mr. Whitcomb said today that he hopes it will meet with a better fate than in prior years. "The bill was passed by the Assembly last winter," he said, "and it had gone into the State Senate and was up for vote. The president of the Senate called for a vote, when State Senator Charles Hewitt, chairman of the committee on finance, moved that it be referred to his committee and the measure died there.

"Thus, it would seem that in order to be passed Mr. Hewitt must be in his views, and be changed made to understand that this measuse is the desire of the people of the Southern Tier. We had last year wonderful cooperation from all public bodies and everything possible was done in its behalf. I must not feel discouraged over what 0c- curred last year but keep everlastingly at it, for if I fail to reintroduce this bill interest would lapse and if revived later would have to gO through a period of watchful waiting before it could be advanced to its present standing. "I hope that the people of Broome county will do everything possible, as in the past, to obtain the enactment of this measure."

The giant is made of gypsum, in a form resembling a 10-foot fossil of an early superman, and is back in Fort Dodge after years of wandering up and down the earth, for exhibition at fairs, bazaars and other show places. But now, according to the report from Fort Dodge, he will never again take to the road--his wanderings are over. The story of the giant was a popular tale 50 years ago, and was more popular than ever when it dawned upon people that a most remarkable, the hoax various had been owners, perpe- who included among their numbers leading residents of the East, some of them men still known to fame. glant was the brain child of the late Hull of Port Crane and Binghamton, who always said that the idea during discussions concerning origin of man with a farmer to whom he was Indentured while a boy. The block of stone from which the giant was carved came from gypsum beds in Iowa and Mr.

Hull engaged stonecutters to carve the figure in an abandoned shack near Fort Dodge. After it was. completed It was hammered with an instrument made of needles to give an Imitation of pores in the skin. It was then boxed and shipped east to Binghamton by freight. Then it was moved at night by a four-horse team to Cardiff, near Syracuse, where it was buried on the farm of William C.

Newell. This was in 1868. In the fall of 1869 Newell engaged two men, Gideon Emmons and Henry Nichols, to a well, and on Oct. 16. had excavated only three feet, they "discovered" the giant.

The "discovery" brought hundreds from far and near to, see the marvel. The newspapers of land were full of it, Mr. Newell took $26 an hour at the gate to the "stone age grave." Professor James Hall, state geologist, was quoted at first as recommending the find to the attention archaeologists, but on Oct. 26, wrote to publishers in Syracuse that it was a "statue." Dr. John Boynton, a geologist Syracuse, added that it was "cut from a piece of stratified sulphite of lime.

quarried probably somewhere in this country from our gypsum beds." But the giant went on tour over the country, changing hands several times and making money for its successive owners, including Alfred Higgins, Dr. Amos Westcott and Amos Gillett of Syracuse, William Spencer of Utica and David H. Hannum of Homer, the last being the original of "David Harum" in Edward Noyes Westcott's novel. P. Barnum also had it as one of his museum and circus features for a time.

Then came reports of a mysterious four-horse te a a heavily loaded wagon passing from Binghamton to Cardiff on a night a year before the excavation. Professor C. C. Marsh of Yale proved that 1f the giant had lain long where It was found 1tg gypsum would have been dissolved by water. And at last Dodge came positive information of cutting of the statue there unthe direction of Mr.

Hull. Later Hull and Mr. Rankin endeavored to revive interest in the giant and the latter wrote a hisof the hoax, but neither beneflited financially. CAGE SEASON OPENS Susquehanna, Dec. 6- -The Susquehanna High school basketball season will open tonight at a game with Afton High school.

He stirred the hearts of his five sons known as the Maccabees.
