BELIEVED VICTIM
OF LAUDRU FOUND
Portions OF Human Skeleton
Unearthed Near Trappes

VERSAILLES, March 29.-In the
finding of portions of human skeleton
and fragments of a skull in the vicinity
of Trappes, the police believe they have
stumbled upon the remains of one of the
victims of Henri Desire Landru, ''the
Bluebeard of Gambais," executed for
murder two years ago,
Trappes is only a few miles across
Rambouilett forest from Gambais where
Landrau was convicted of having slain
10 women to whom he had promised
marriage. The bodies of his victims
were never found, but it was brought
out at the trial that the "Bluebeard"
made long night excursions in a
camionetae through Rambouillet forest
for the purpose, it was supposed, of dis
posing of the bodies.

PRICE MOVEMENTS
ARE REACTIONARY
Stocks Reflect Attempts To
Discount Slackening Business

NEW YORK, March 29.-Reactionary
price movements prevailed In this
weeks securities and commodity mar
kets. Stock prices reflected first at
tempts to discount slackening business
and the further undermining of conf
dence by developments in Washington,
including the resignation of Attorney
General Daugherty. Feeble attempts
to bring about rallies were quashed by
bear traders, who dominated tho situa-
tion.
Money rates moved up briskly follow
ing the heavy withdrawal Of funds from
this center by interior banks. The sud
den advance in funds Cancelled earlier
gains in the bond market which ex
perienced the most active trading ses-
sions OF the year during the period
OF cheap money. Foreign exchange
held relatively firm with business on a
largely reduced scale, due to temporary
subsistence OF short covering, which
brought about the sensational advance
OF French francs in the preceding fort
night.
Heavy short selling and liquidation
OF speculative industrials during the
week resulted in the establishment of
new low record for the year In the
average Of 20 leading stocks. Independ-
emit strength OF rails reflected unusually
good February earnings statements
the first fifty-six class one to report
showing net income of $50, 731, 600 last
month, as compared with 500 SGT 900 in
the corresponding month OF 1923. Cot
ton futures broke to new lows ON re-
ports of curtailment of mill activities,
but later rallied on unfavorable wealth
err conditions, while the wheat market
continued unsettled

STOCK MARKET

NEW YORK, March 2s.-The market
today has been not unlike many that
we have had. 1t was strong early in
the session, but the old policy of the
bear party of making stocks look weak
near the close has been carried out.
We see no reason for the extreme pes
simtsm which exists, but It is one of
those times where Wall street gets
overdue and overdoes things on the
bear side. Without anything really en-
couraging at hand, the market is al
lowed TO drift, and may back and fill
around this level for some time. We
believe the next move will be an up
ward one, but It is a period like that
which we had last summer, where Wall
street can see nothing good for the
time being. Sales, 35S, 000.-Post &

NEW YORK. March 2s.-our Liver
pool cable stated that their, market
had advanced on spInners calling cot
ton and bad weather over the cotton
belt. With the foreign market well ad-
vanced, our market, under the Impetus
of covering orders and trade buying,
responded sharply, opening some 40
points over the previous close. 1t is
not to be wondered at, in view of the
recent decline, to see the market react
so sharply, and in view of the bulIish
spot adVices that are being received.
The market remained steady until the
middle of the morning, when talk Of
the poor dry goods situation was again
brought out and the possibility Of
little Improvement in the weather over
the weekend. However, selling does
not meet with the same success as
heretofore, and contracts are well
taken, and slowly but surely they are
passing into stronger hands. Long &C.
counts have been well liQuidated and
few sharp advances as we have had
this morning will bring the trade back
to- the realization OF the very small
supply of cotton on hand.
