NEW YORK, April i3.-Extreme
dullness characterized today's brief
session of the stock market. Price
movements were extremely irregular,
but many of the leading industrial
issues lost ground on heavy week end
profit taking.
Although definite signs Of credit i'm
proveuaent appeared in the closing days
of the week. Wall Street was still dis
turhed by the possibility of temporary
stringency incidental to the heavy
mid month turnover OF funds. Heayi-
ness of some of the pcpuar industrlals
was attributed to liquidation by large
operators who had bought those stocks
for a turn earlier in the week.
Further selling came Into the copper
shares as a result of the recent down.
ward readjustment OF red metal prices.

ners were making new high records a

which was the most surprised. You

bounced on was the end Of Black
Pussy's tail. II he could have look

her tail stuck out beyond the corner
Of the bin. and it was the twitching
Of the end of this tail that had
caught spooky's attention.
Now. when spooky struck. one Of
his sharp little claws pricked that
tail. 1t brought yowl Of both pain
and fright from Black Pussy as she
whirled to see what 1t all meant.
That yowl frightened spooky almost
as much as he had frightened Black
Pussy. He didn't stop to say excuse
me-" He just sailed right on up
into the shadowy top Of the barn,
leaving Black Pussy a sorely puzzled
Cat. She hadn't even caught a
glimpse of him and she didn't know
what had happened to the end Of
her tail.
