The human brain consists large

cholesterol and lccithin, and the

Brain material is rapidly digest

The idea that fish is especially val

on the belief that fish is especial

the eating of fish would be espe-

Actually there is no one food that

STOCK MARKET
SESSION Dull
Bear Movement Checked AS
Bulls Stage Upturn In
Rail Issues
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER
Associated Press Financial Writer

&AooOAAASC
NEW YORK, April 6.-(P)-A
colorless and indecisive contest for
control of the price trend DOM
mated a quiet halliday session on
the stock market today. The pub
lie kept to the sidelines, and pro-
fessional traders displayed little
energy.
Bears took advantage Of the
normal wave Of weekend selling
to launch a rather feeble drive
early in the session, but met with
some resistance, and toward the
close bulls checked the downward
trend by staging an upturn in the
rails.
The fact that the credit situa-
ton seemed no nearer clarifica-
ton with federal reserve authori-
ties announcing continuation Of
their present policy of speculative
credit curtailment, and banks ap-
parently disposed to cooperate with
commercial requirements coming to
their seasonal peak in a few weeks,
left little incentive for large scale
constructive operations.
The drop in the call money rate
to 6 per cent late this week caused
no enthusiasm, with 8 per cent
time money the highest since the
panic of 1907.
The days business news was
meagre, and without influence on
the market. The first % chain
store systems to report April sales
showed a gain of more than %
per cent over March, 1928.
The days turnover of stocks was
the smallest for any Saturday SEES
sion this year, aggregating but l.
$4,000 shares. AS measured by the
Associated Press price indices,
gains and losses at the close about
cancelled each other.
Upturn in the rails was led by
the Van Sweringen issues. This
movement was stimulated by the
prospect of an early contamination
of the acquisition of the Pere
Marquette by the Chesapeake and
Ohio, and by the Inauguration Of
dividends on Allegheny Corp pre-
ferred stock.
American Express was again
hurled upward, mounting IS IL
points to a new record price at
1876. National Surety jumped II
points, and Columbia Gas issues
mounted about 4. Superior Steel
again in demand, mounting
nearly 6 points to a new peak at
70 ga.
Oil shares recovered as leaders
in the industry were inclined to
minimize the effect Of the opinion
of Attorney General Mitchell as to
the authority Of federal conserva-
ton board and the curtailment
plan, on the eventual success of
the plan. Houston and Pan-Amer-
lean issues rose 2 to nearly 3
points, and standard issues were
firm.
Case Threshing dropped nearly
20 points in a small turnover, and
motors and coppers were generally
heavy. Anaconda Baldwin Loco
motive. Burroughs Adding Machine.
Commercial Solvents, International
Telephone, were among issues los
ing 2 or 3 points and more. Motor
products dropped 8 points to a new
1929 low.
Foreign exchanges were quiet, but
generally steady with Sterling
cables a shade firmer.

COTTON PRICES
CLOSE STEADY
Favorable Weather Report:
Disappointing Liverpool
Cables Break Price

NEW ORLEANS, April 6.-(P)-
Cotton prices fluctuated narrowly
today easing off slightly under some
liquidation and ring selling on the
favorable weather in the belt and
disappointing Liverpool cables. July
sold down to $19.78 and closed at
that figure compared with 1898
at yesterdays close. The general
market closed steady at net de-
clineS of 10 points.
The market opened easy at a de-
cline of 2 to 5 points and prices con-
tinued to ease off after the start
until May sold at $19.78, July $19.81
and October $19.65, or z to 8 points
under yesterdays close.
There was some covering on the
scale down and prices rallied a few
points from the lows but the de-
mand was supplied by a renewal of
liquidation on the favorable weather
in the belt and prices gradually
worked lower for the remainder of
the session. Lows of the day were
made in final trading when May
traded at $19.71, July $19.78 and Oc-
tober 1882, or 10 points net down.
The close was at the lowest.
Traders practically ignored the
prospects for rain.

RAINAND SNOW
WHEAT BENEFIT
Grain Accordingly Goes
Two Cents Per Bushel
At Chicago

CHICAGO, April 6.-CP)-In a
rough and tumble encounter with
Canadian storm news today, wheat
values came out second best. Wide
spread rain and snow appeared to
have brought about an end Of
drought complaints from Canadian
spring wheat territory. Largely as
a consequence wheat prices under
went a drop of almost 2 cents a
bushel but the effect was later part
ly offset by liberal export business
and by advices of high winds in
western Kansas and western Ne
braSka as well.
Closing quotations on wheat were
nervous, 3-8 cents to SD cents net
lower. Corn finished unchanged to
IA off, oats a shade to 3-8 cents
up, and provisions varying from 10
cents decline to a rise of 2 cents.
So acute has been the shortage
Of Sub-Soil moisture that the stu
alton until today was said to be I'M
equaled in Is years. 1t was asserted
that the wheat crop Of the Canadi-
an prairie provinces depends more
on good amounts of Sub-soil mois-
ture than is the case in the majority
of other wheat sections Of the world.
Export demand for North Ameri-
can wheat gave evidence of having
broadened out on today's break in
prices, and theer was also mucn
evening-up of accounts for the week
end. Rallies that ensued were CIV
en- further impetus by late reports
of Kansas and Nebraska dust
storms, especially in the western
sections of both states.
Corn averaged lower, Sympathiz-
ing with wheat weakness, on the
other hand, country offerings of
corn today were small, and the
cash corn trading here was firm.
Oats developed a strong under
tone, weather conditions next week
being expected to prove adverse for
field work. July rye sold today at
a new low-price record for the
crop.
In the provision market, holders
of May lard were selling out. but
were reinstating with purchases of
July and September.
