MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1948 Stock Market Coasts Lower By WILLIAM D. MORGAN NEW YORK, Aug. 9 The stock market coasted lower today under light selling pressure. After starting the day on a fairly steady price footing, buying Interest slowly but steadily declined and minus signs cropped out. with frequency.

Activity was at the same slack rate as last week. Total for the day headed for around 700,000 shares. Late in the session, reports from Wall street Indicated a pick-up In out-of-town selling. It was believed these sales represented stop-loss or orders which are executed automatically when the price of a stock declines to a pre-deter- mlned level. The end of the special session was taken stolidly by security traders, although It had been predicted that adjournment of Congress would introduce a stabilizing factor into market operations.

Some quarters mentioned Berlin again as a potential danger spot but the cloud which has enveloped east-west negotiations over the German capital prohibited a clear view. Losing fractions to more than a point were U. S. Steel, Youngstown Sheet, Chrysler, J. O.

Case, American Telephone, Westinghouse Electric, International Paper, and Standard Oil (NJ). U. S. government issues tended downward in the over-the-counter market.

Horse and Rider Hurt in Race In the last race of the afternoon, an Alton rider, Bud Pratt Oakwood road, nnd his mount, were Injured yesterday at a horse show which was being held at Cloverlenf Ranch, St. Charles, Mo. The horse was, according to one who witnessed the accident, "running like a bullet and was on the last lap of the race when he failed to straighten out after making a turn Attempts to check the horse by the rider broke a chain chin strap but the horse wont on and hit a wire fence before being stopped.

Pratt was thrown over the horse's head, hit a parked car and bounced back to be. stepped on by the horse, entangled in the fence." Neither the horse nor rider were badly hurl though they suffered lacerations and abrasions and Is thought to have sustained two fractured ribs. A surgeon on the grounds gave first aid to both man and animal. Numerous persons who were lined up against the fence, the lower part of which was hog wire and the upper, barbed wire, were hurt when the barbed strands were pulled loose from the posts for a distance of 50 feet on either side of the point where the horse struck. Some were knocked to the ground and many were cut.

This is the second unhappy event the horse has figured In during his life with the Pratts. He was bought about 18 months ago. In March, the Prattt place was struck by the tornado which demolished the born and carried the horse a half mile away. The horse, unhurt at that time, escaped serious Injury yesterday. A little earlier In the show, the animal, a small black gelding, had placed In the parade class.

Speaks to Former Congregation Services nt the Upper Alton Baptist Church yesterday morning were conducted by the Rev. M. L. Robinson, a former pastor of the church who was called here to deliver the sermon when the honor roll bearing the names of -146 young men and women who served with military forces during World War II was retired. The three plaques bearing the names of the service men and women were brought near to the pulpit, yesterday morning from the vestibule, and after the sermon were carried to the rear of the church where they will be kept with other permanent records.

The Rev. Robinson, now pastor of the Baptist Temple at Logansport, chose for his sermon topic yesterday, "For God and Country." The sermon revolved around the two great Ideas since the beginning of time, the one being the great quest of God and the other, in finding God, being prepared to become a good countryman. An ancient example, the Rev. Robinson pointed out, was that of Israel which flourished when the nation followed God but. which broke apart as It grew from his precepts.

"Today," he says, "we talk about Russia being atheistic but we forget that. America Is so highly secularized that our real love and loyalties are not with God. Yet we know that if we forget God's laws, we, too, shall suffer." Mrs. J. P.

Bosley sang a solo. At the close of the sermon, a few moments were given to the memory of those names were on the honor roll. The first tribute was paid to all; the second to those who bear scars on mind and body, and the third to those who gave their lives. There were four of these, Boyd Beeby, Carl Keck, Oliver Wlmmer and David Wilson, and after their names were read by E. J.

McPhil- Ips, the congregation stood In a moment of silent prayer. The ilaques were then carried away Qulntln Warnslng, Kohler Scott and Olln Scott, men who served with the forces, but who are now separated from service. The church was filled with those who came to do their part In pay- ng the tribute. The Rev. Robinson vas In service during both wars, the first as an Infantryman and the second as a chaplain.

At the close of the service last night, a reception was held in the hurch dining room "so that the congregation might have a chance visit with their former pastor, his wife and son, Martin. The three been house uests of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Luft, 1826 Seminary and they will eave tomorrow morning for their home. This afternoon they drove to St.

Howard Soybeans, Lard Lead Retreat Hy WILLIAM FERRIS CHICAGO, Aug. J) UTi beans and lard led a general retreat; in all commodities on tho board of trade today. Losses In soybeans extended to 10 cents, the newly established limit, at times, The selling started after a government. estimate of a much larger cotton crop than had boon expected. More cotton will also mean more cottonseed oil, traders reasoned, helping to undermine prices of all fats and oils.

Selling then spread to grain: with September corn showing par tlculnr weakness. This contras was down around 3 cents nt times Wheat had losses ranging to around 2 cents. There was no spe clflc yews influencing grains and traders considered the decline sympathetic slump with lard ant soybeans.
