 Allowed in France

 Called Today

Prices made irregular recovery during the afternoon in response to heavy weekend short covering.
 Bear traders continued to ferret out weak spots among the special ties. American Republics broke 8 points to 47, McCrory stores 5 S-4 to 70 1-3 and Pathe over to 441-2, all new 1928 low prices. On the ether hand local fractions were in brisk demand on a revival of asita- ton for increased subway facilities and higher fares.
 Wall Street Opening
 Stock prices moved irregularly higher at the opening of todays stock market in response to heavy short covering after five successive days of declining prices. Initial gains of a point or two were re- corded by Allied Chemical, General Motors, Consolidated Gas, Rock Is- land and United Drug.
 Rails took on a new lease of life on official confirmation on reports of record breaking August earnings, with indications that September pro- fits would attain the highest monthly total ever recorded. Early buying eentered in the se-called "merger is- sues' with Nickel Plate" common, Chesapeake and Ohio, Rock Island and Kansas City Southern leading the advance. The advance in many iRdustrials was still being contested by bear traders. General Motors quickly reacting from an early high of 1571a to 1853 before starting up- ward again.

Substantial reeoveries also were recorded by Lambert Co.,, Pull man, Commercial Solvents B and Case ThFeshing Machine. While the course of the money market this week indicated no immediate change In the New York federal reserve re- discount rate. the official announce ment that the per cent rediscount rate would be maintained was a re- assuring factor. Foreign exchanges opened firm with a point jump in Italian lire to S.94 cents as one of early features. Demand sterling was unchanged at s4.s4a, and French francs were firm around 2.S7 cents.
 The weakness of the cotton mark ct on the disappointing government crop report influenced professional selling of stocks again which cut heavily into the large advances which had been established in many of the Public Utility. Food. Equip ment, Chemical, Motor and Railroad shares. The reactionary movement carried General Motors down from 157 1-2 to 153 1-4 but recessions otherwise were confined to the limits of a point or so. The renewal rate on call loans was raised to 4 12 per cent

TRAFFIC LIGHT WILL BE
PLACED AT DANGEROUS SPOT
Three-Way Light VIII Handle Traf-
fio At Front s. Railroad Avenue

This week the Town Council had
two experts here to study traffic
conditions of the town, and suggest
equipment and plans for regulating
the same. The traffic system and
lights employed in Milford to direct
traffic were approved by the ex-
perts, who said they were up-tO-date
in every particular and adequate
for the situation here. They sug-
gested that additional equipment be
installed at the intersection of West
Front street, Railroad avenue and
Church street. This is a dangerous
corner and one on which it is diff
cult to handle. At this point, there
is considerable traffic, Front street
being a part of the MilfOrd-Har-
rington boulevard.
In order to meet the difficulty, it
was suggested to Council that
"three-way" light be placed at the
intersection of West Front ST. ct
and Railroad avenue. This signal
would control the traffic going east
and west on Front street and north
on Railroad avenue. 1t was also
suggested that a corner light be in
stalled on a pole at the intersection
of Church and Front streets to
work with the other traffic signal
on Church street. These suggest
ions were adopted by the Council.
The equipment has already been Or
dered, and expected in about two
weeks.
