 Because of the danger from fly ing rocks, authorities have as much as possible prevented sightseers from approaching the mountain. Automo mobiles have been turned back a long distance from the volcano in order to leave the roads clear for fleeing inhabitants. Railroad trains run only as far from here as Bosco- trecase, a suburb.
 The pillars of smoke from the cone have cast g pail over the entire area, giving it much the appearance of dire prophetic twilight.

BRITISH DIPLOMAT
 WILL QUIT LIQUOR
(Continued from First Page)

Esme Howard, the British ambas- sador, to forego the diplomatic priv iiege of importing liquors into the United States has apparently been put into practice.
 Although formal announcement was lacking early today and, at- taches refused to confirm reports that the ambassador has decided not to import any more intoxicating bev- erages for his embassy. they gave inquirers to understand that such action was contemplated.
 While such a course by the en- bassy would not be unprecedented, since several missions are now known to import no liquor whatever, or to use their importations solely for members of the staff, the entire diplomatic corps was considerably stirred over the reported action of Sir Esme.
 Attaches of the embassy and those close to the ambassador said that such move could be considered a logical one in view of his recent statement that he would be willing to forego the privilege if requested to do so by the American govern ment. Similar sentiments were ex- pressed by the ambassadors private secretary, Michael Wright. in a let ter to James T. Carter, prohibition ist and lumberman of Lynchburg, Virginia.
 Wright's letter was in reply to one from Carter urging that the embassy relinquish the liquor priv ilege and was interpreted as being the stand of Sir Esme on the liquor question.
 The correspondence in the matter was forwarded to President Hoover by Carter and diplomatic circles have expressed the opinion since then that the entire affair was some what delicate and embarras ssing to the Washington government.
 Sir Esme emphasized, in express ing his opinion on the subject of the reInquishment of the liquor priv ilege, that he was speaking only for himself and not as dean of the dip lomatic corps, a post he will relin- quish late this year with his retire. ment from the British service. Most members of the corps have taken the position that they could not vol untarily forego privilege so firmly esta blished by diplomatic law and usage without the specific consent of their governments.
 The Portuguese minister, the Wis count D'Alte, who has been in Washington longer than any other members of the corp, is known not to import any liquors for his lega- ton. and several diplomatic func- tions at other missions recently have been completely dry.
 Officials of the state department take the view that the question is one entirely fort the embassies and legations to decide themselves with out interference by the American govrnment.

French Plane Ready
 For Hop to New York

Seville. Spain, June UP)-His plane loaded with fuel and ready for a non n-stop flight to New York, Capt. Louis Couduret, French air. man, awaited only favorable weather reports today before com mencing his flight.
 The plane was loaded with 1,056 gallons of gasoline yesterday after a final test flight was made, and Capt. Couduret and his companion. Capt. Maillou, said they were ready for the long hop.
 The airmen intend to follow a route leading them by the Azores and Halifax to New York, Capt. Couduret said. He expected the most difficult part would be in the vi- cinity of Halifax, but he explained special apparatus was being carried which would enable them to over come visibility difficulties.
 Capt. Couduret came to Spain to start because of an order issued by Laurent Eynac, French air minister. prohibiting long distance flights from starting in France. He will use the same runway used by Capt. Francisco Jimenez and Capt. 1g- nacio 1slesias on their successful transatlantic flight to South Amer ica.

NEW LEADERS LIFT PRICES OF STOCKS
Food and Railroad Groups Prominent in SdNtive Buyin9

New York. June 6 R1Stock prices continued to move upward today with new leaders being brought forward in the food, rail- road equipment and railroad groups. The buying continued to be rather selective in character with the out side public still showing little in. clination to re-enter the market on large scale.
 Call money renewed unchanged at ! per cent and appeared in fair sup ply at that figure. Wall Street is still worried over the possibility of sharp flurries in call money rates later in the month. Several new pools. which have been organized recently. are understood to have suspended the beginning of opera tions until next month on the theory that a definite easing of credi, prospects is likely at that time.
 Rails. which were heavy early in the week. again showed . decided upward tendency. Erie common and Chesapeake Corporation moved into new high ground. Pere Mar quette was marked up points. and Atchison 3. Union Pacific and New York Central advanced 3 points or more.
 Industrial rayon, which had not sold al! week, jumped IT 1-% points to 92 1-4. Commonwealth Power extended its gain to nearly points by touching a new high at PISA. Baldwin Locomotive, Bayuk Cigars. Purity Baking, and Frank G. Shat tuck sold to nearly s points high er
 Curtiss, Marlin Rockwell, Tim ken Roller Bearing, Air Reduction and Tidewater Associated first pre- ferred were marked up { to 5 points.
 The reported falling off in build ing construction last month had 8 tendency to restrict bullish opera tions in the steel shares, despite the excellent character of the May pro- duction reports.

 Changes Are Small

New York. June 6 R-With time money holding unchanged at yester- days 8 1-4 to Sh rates. bonds nov cd slowly in today's early trading The undertone was firm, however, and gains outnumbered losses, d. though price changes were small.
 United States government issues, which made some progress yester- day, slipped off in minor transac- tions. The foreigns were slightly stronger. especially iE the Chilean group where fractional gains pre- vailed. The German issues were neglected, while French and Belgian 7ks gave some ground in common with few other European govern- ment bonds. British United King dom 1-2s,. at new low on Wednes- day, made up their loss.
 A few obligations. scattered through the rest of the list met with fair reception, but trading as rule was apathetic. Texas & Pacific 5s, series C, were again active at no net change. International Match 5s and International cement 5S chang ed hands on inconsequential rises, while Pierce Arrow Ss advanced a point.
 The rails were dull. Canadian Pacific debenture As lost the better part of a point, while Canadian Northern 6hs and Canadian Ma ,ional 41ss improved on negligible inquiry. Ready Jersey Central As were fairly welt taken at higher prices.
 Convertibles moved irregularly with most of the fluctuations on the down side, American and 1nterna- tlonal Telephone 4hs dropping more than a point. Missouri Pacific 51a clung close to their recent high.
