Shop Owner, Called as Witness In
ExtraditiOn Move

Carl Benson, who, with a partner,
conducted a factory on South Main
street in this city in 1921, has been
located by Detective Sergeant G. c.
Ellinger in Deep River, the Hart
ford police having requested that
he be found if possible to make out
an affidavit for the extradition OF a
man Who is under arrest in New

Benson, II is said. purchased a
welding machine several years ago,
not knowing it was stolen, and the
Hartford police sought the man who
made the sale. He was traced to
New York, but extradition proceed
ings were halted temporarily be-
cause Benson could not be located.
The Hartford police gave the local
authorities an incorrect name and
1t was not until Sergeant Ellingcr
had put in considerable time and
effort that Benson was located.

MAIL Pouch Opens
Letters Scattered for Quarter Of
Mile at FOr&tYlle
Especial to the Herald

Bristol, Jan. l1-Sevcral hundred
letters and a number OF other pieces
OF first class mail were strewn along
the railroad tracks for a distance Of
about quarter Of a mile when the
pouch dropped from west bound

p. m. broke open at the Forestville
station and scattered the contents.
Train No. 119 does not stop at
Forestville and as there il no mail
train at this point it is necessary
for the mail clerk to hurl the pouch
clean OF the tracks while the train
is travelling at high rate OF speed.
Railroad and post office employees
were busy for while picking up
the scattered pieces. A few OF the
letters are believed to have been
lost in the Pequabuck river when

BONDS Higher IN
Light TRADING

New York. Jan. II up - Bonds

counts. Time money showed an cas-
Ter tone.

Steel SHARES ARE
BOUGHT HEAVILY
Sales Feature To&ys Stock
Market Trading

New York, Jan. IL 6 - Heavy
buying of the steel shares, based on
reports of unusually favorable trade
conditions, featured the irregularly
higher price movement In todays
stock market. Although operators
for the advance retained control OF
the general price movement. some
liquidation developed in the food and
motor shares. several Of which fell
back to nearly points around
midday. Trading was fairly heavy
in volume, but the ticker kept well
abreast of the market.
Retention Of the per cent call
money renewal rate despite the dis
appeirtingiy small decrease in brok-
ers' loans helped TO maintain bullish
enthusiasm. The Chicago federal re-
serve bank followed the action of the
New York institution in making no
change in its S per cent rediscount
rate. Except for an advance in brass
ingot prices, a sharp rise in rubber
futures and the first decline in the
price Of welded pipe since 1928. The
days trade news was rather color
less In character.
The announcement OF a new pub
lie utility holding company by ]. p.
Morgan & Company interests revived
speculation for the advance in the
power and light stocks. Common
wealth Power and American Water
Works quickly advanced "A points,
the former to 4 now high at III 3-S.
and several others moved UP a point
or two.
The brisk demand for U. S. Steel
common. which advanced more
than I points to 1854. was influ-
enced in part by unconfirmed ru-
mors that the corporation might
distribute part Of the $26,000,000
recently received in federal tax re-
funds as an extra dividend. Beth
lehem was heavily bought In anti
cipation that dividends would be
resumed on the common stock at
the annual rate OF 81 or IS at the
directors meeting late this month.
Vanadium ran up more than I
points. Last quarter earnings OF
the leading producers are expected
to make an excellent comparison
with the corresponding quarter Of
1927.
New bond offerings this week
were less than 100000, or about
half the total of the preceding
week. and more than 100000. 600
below the total Of the corresponding
week year ago. This explains, in
part, why large part OF the Janu-
airy reinvestment demand has found
its way into the stock market.
Some Of the sharpest gains Of the
day were recorded by such issues as
Allied Chemical. International Tele-
phone, National Bellas He's, Indian
Refining preferred. Standard Milling,
Stewart Warner. Radio, Air Reduce
ton, U. s. Rubber, Warren Bros.
Pictures and United Drug. all of
which sold I to ~ points higher.
National Biscuit dropped more than
6 points, National Tea 5, and Chrys-
Ter. Pierce Arrow. Montgomery
Ward. Dupont and Union Pacific
fell back points or more.
