 Superior Court

East Hampton, Dec. 9 P)-Her- bert D. Watrous, former tax collec- tor was held in s10,000 bonds for the March term of the superior court when arraigned this morning before Justice Of the Peace George IT. Hart, on charge of embez- zling s14,000 of the town funds.

Battle Cross Currents and Main-
 tain Slow Advance

New York. Dec. 9 P)-Operators for the advance struggled with ire Quent cross currents of profit talk ing on the Curb Market today but despite Interruptions were able to keep most of the popular shares headed higher. Price trends, how ever, were irregular and confusing. and changes were for the most part narrow.

The old stock selling eX the $2 quarterly dividend, touched 40 during the morning, a net gain of points, and within less than 10 points of it's 1929 high.

 Utilities were firm during the early trading, but encountered con- siderable selling around midday. Pressure against Electric Bond and Share was somewhat msettling. It touched 94 in the early trading, a net gain Of nearly a point, but it then sagged close to 90. Profit talk ing on last weeks gain of more than 15 points, however. was con- sidered a natural development.

5000 RECEIVED.
 FROM SEAL SALE
New Britain Campaign Starts
 With First Report Filed

A start has been made in the 1929 annual Christmas seal sale in New Britain according to figures released today by Miss Cornelia Chamberlain. chairman of the campaign. Figures for the first week approximate $500, with about one-third of the mail list accounted for. This is a slight de- crease from last year.
 "Only about one third of the fund is on hand" said w. S. Cannon, treasurer of the association. and it is to be hoped that the coming week will bring larger percentage of cash filled return envelopes
 '"There is no doubt that this work is needed. According to averages de- termined by specialists in tubercu- losis work as a result of examining conditions in all parts of the United States, there are nine active cases of tuberculosis in any community for each person who dies of tuberculosis. In New Britain there were 3S deaths last year, so we have at least 35l cases of active tuberculosis in this city.
 "All we know of, however. are those which have been reported. which means that somewhere in this city are many active cases of tuber- culoss which have not been discov- cred.
 Tn other words, until we have found these cases the patients are walking around this community, spreading their disease to unprotect- cd fathers, mothers and children. It is for this reason that the work of the tuberculosis nurse is invalu- able. She is the one who finds the cases and sees that they are given proper care, makes arrangements for their removal to a sanatorium and educatcs them in protecting others from catching the disease
 The seals are on sale at the fol- lowing stores: Helen Phillips. Crow els drug store, Brooks drug store, the New Britain National bank, board of health, city hall. Miss Chamberlain welcomes the oppor- tunity of sending seals to anyone re- questing them.

JAFFE STANDS PAT
 WITH |. P. 0. ASSN.
Says He Will Not Quit Although
 Advised to Do So

I've been approached by many men in this city and asked to resign from the activities of the Citizens Property Owners association. was asked to discontinue because several persons aid that nothing would become of this association, but as the doctors association is for doctor, the property owners asso- clation is for property owners and it is the duty of every property owner to boost it's progress
 Thus spoke Dr. N. B. Jaffe at |. meeting last night of the association at Falcon hall on Beaver street. It was attended by approximately 75 members, approximately half of which are business men.
 Vincent Dobrowolski. president 0, the association. for the first time since the organization was estab- lished, was absent from the meeting because of q sickness which has confined him to his bed for more than @ week.
 Martin Kelly, vice president of the association and chairman of the fifth ward, presided at the meeting. He compared the city of New Lon don and the city of New Britain and said this city should be gov erned by city manager. The de- partment heads in New London stay within their appropriations and many of them even save few thousand dollars for next years S budget" he stated. "The New Brit ain department heads," said Mr. kelly. "get as much money as they can in their budgets and spend as much as they can. A good example of this is the school board"
 Because several persons are afraid of the work of the associa- ton which will better the condi- lions in this city for the poor prop erty owners" said John Smolak, financial secretary Of the associa- ton, they must intervene and frightcn the people by saying that all property owners who join the as- sociation will be induced to pay a high tax for the installation of a new sewer system he said. Many property owners will profit by this association and much will be &C., complished by it's work if all the property owners would become af- Gliated with it," he asserted.
 Andrew Brzuszek, recording sec retary, spoke for some time on the future work of the association.

INTEREST IN BOND
 SHARES DECREASES
Reduction Of Buying Causes
 Irre6ularity ill Prices

New York, Dec. g tP)-Reducti0n in the volume of buying orders was accompanied by slight irregularity in the prices of bonds today. Profit taking was apparent. but it was of . minor nature and the dullness that characterized the early trading was attributable to d temporary slackCn- ing in inquiry.
 Banks and corporations. which have been large customers in the last fortnight, are now showing less in terest and it is apparent that the list has esched level beyond which these purchasers do not care 10 bid, at least for the present. The muni- cipal market has beeu offering lively competition to listed obligations anu there has also been some switching of funds to stocks.
 Naturitios against 412 to AZ last week. Demand for funds was rv- ported to be increasing. Call loans renewed at 4l2 per cent again, but the tone was tirmcr as the holiday requirements became more pressing.
 Prices fluctuated in small frac- tions. on the whole, although a few Of the inactive low coupon rails made wider gains on small transactions. Delaware 6; Hudson 5s. Indiana, H. linois Central First F s. Illinois X Iowa 4s and Western Pacific First as rose i to more than points. st.. Louis Gt Southwestern Consolidated 4s lost a point. Adjustment income rails were on an upward move, Mis- souri Kansas Texas 5s rising q point and Hudson Manhattan 5s q large fraction.
 Utilities and industrials dragged, although prices held firm. Pacific Telephone 5s, Wilson First 6s, and American Ice 5s advanced. the last named selling points above the last transa ction.
 Announcement that the treasury had closed the subscription on the forthcoming issue of %ls per cent certificates suggested that the usual oversubscription for such securities would be large.
 The market has taken the low in tcrcst rate as decidedly favorable portent. II is pointed out that the treasury usually gauges the tone Of the money market with great ac- curacy. Listed |. $. government ob- legations were inactive and slightly lower today.
 Two issues were marketed today. One was a West Texas utilities com l,,, 1857, at 9S. The other $1.Go4.161 issue of City of Ottawa serial 5 2S, priced on application.
