U. s. RADIO MUSIC CHEERS
 BESTFGED FRENCH IN SYRIA

Beirut, Syria.-A concert broad casted from Pittsburgh and dance music played at the Savoy Hotel in London, carried thousands of miles by radio, cheered the Tagging spirits of the besieged French garrison Su- cida, rescued recently after having been surrounded in their citadel for two months by the rebel Druse tribes men.
 This became known through the re- port of the garrison's commander, Colonel Miller, who wrote: Radio constitutes one of the finest defen- sive weapons that besieged unit can possess. It renders at times more service than a battery of artillery. It has great influence on the morale of the troops, dispelling that feeling of isolation and abandonment, so diff cult to overcome.
 Yesterday we heard the jazz band of the Savoy Hotel in London. The men who were not on duty danced to it's tunes. We heard the station of Pittsburgh at night. We are sorry the weakness of our sending appar- atus prevents us from thanking the Americans for an excellent evening. :"

HERDERS HAVE DIFFICULTY
 PROTECTING REINDEER FROM
 WOLVES IN THE BROAD PASS

Reindeer herders have declared war on the wolf which has followed the caribou run into the Cantwell and Broad Pass regions, says the Anchor age Times.
 While the wolves have done but lit tie damage thus far, the herders are bending every effort towards driving them out, because they know that, little later on, when other game ge.s scarce, the pack will naturally start killing the reindeer and caribou.
 Five wolves were seen in one pack near one of the large herds of rein deer, recently, by native herders, al though they did not seem to be both ering the deer. Wolves have also been seen in the country north of Wasilla and in Mckinley Park.
 This is the first time in years that any great number of wolves have ap- peared so far south. They seem to be increee Il numbers in recent years.

PRICES CONFUSED
IN STOCK MARKET
st. Paul and c. & O. Shares
Are Extra Weak-M0torS
Lead by Pierce-ArroW.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 20.-Outside OF
a half dozen or so special. issues the
market today weakened from the
start and in the course of the session
developed some rather heavy selling
en- individual stocks.
Railway shares were upset by fur
ther heavy selling at new low record
prices in the ST Paul stocks and by
the violent fall in Chicago and Alton.
The st. PaulS were simply adjusting
themselves to the prospect of heavy
assessment They were following the
usual course of stocks of companies
in receivers hands, which are held
up temporarily by the buying power
supplied by the short interest, but
which finally breaks through.
Heavy Selling in C. & A.
Selling of Chicago and Alton brought
out reports that a hitch had occurred
in the reorganization plan and that
this would work out less favorably for
present holders than had been hoped
for. This explanation, however, had
not been substantiated up to the close
OF business.
The four-point break in Interna-
tional Combustion Engineering fol-
lowed the news that at the annual
meeting an increase in the stock issue
had been authorized from 100000 to
10000 shares.
Sugar Shares Weak.
Weakness in the raw sugar market
was reflected in further selling of
American Sugar. Cuba Cane preferred
and other members of the group. The
coppers, also because of unpropitious
trade conditions, were dragging down.
ward-Anaconda and Kennecott prin-
cipally.
Pierce Arrow preferred, which a
week ago was selling at 471a, jumped
TO so, the common stock participating
more moderately in the rise. This
led to a revival of reports that con-
troll of the company was being sought.
These stories were neither corrobo-
rated nor denied.
Maxwell "B" Breaks Badly.
Maxwell "B" Motors broke badly
Those in close touch with the stock
said the decline was nothing more
than than a natural reaction after
last weeks 23-point advance, and were
executing buying orders around the
low levels.
Tobacco shares were strong, while
others were going down, and here
again it was demonstrated that
stocks of companies which are doing
well in their particular lines are capa
BILE of standing up against the selling
of stock representing trades which
are not prospecting the way that had
been hoped for.

COTTON QUOTATIONS
OPEN WEEK STRONG
Continuation of Buying Move
Noted on Dry Weather and
Good Cables.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK. April 20.-Continua-
ton of last weeks buying movement
led to further advance of II TO ID
points at the opening of the cotton
market today, promoted by failure of
the weather news to show rain in the
Southwest over Sunday and relatively
steady Liverpool cables. Japanese and
continental trade interests were cred
tied with buying, but the bulk of the
demand again was attributed to COW
ering by local, Wall Street and South
ern shorts.
July sold up to 2525 and October
to 25.15 before the end of the first
hour. net advances of 25 to q points,
but at these figures realizing checked
the advance and caused little irreg-
ularity.
New Orleans Quotations.
NEW ORLEANS. April 2O.-The
cotton market, although opening
slightly higher, made a poor response
to the higher cables than due. First
trades showed gains of to II points,
but eased off a few points during the
call, only to rally little sharply on
the dry weather map, July trading up
to 1851 and October to 24.82, or % to
% points above the previous close.
