NEW YORK, Feb. Thousands
Of traders took profits on the Stock
Exchange today and their selling
operations brought marked irregu-
iarity into the general list.
Trading off about 100000 shares
from Thursdays total. tightening
perceptibly on every period of SELL
ing.
Various futile attempts we're made
TO resume the rise in progress a
short time ago. The opening was
irregular, followed by lower prices.
AS the lows of the day touched in
- morning, support was forthcom-
i~T and prices mounted again. IN
the later trading, however, further
selling was encountered and the list
closed highly Irregular. Efforts we're
made to bolster up prices near the
close.
A few bright spots stood out in
hold relief. Canadian Pacific was
the sensation, running up nearly
20 points and holding most of the
gain. The stockholders of this road,
it was announced today, will be
asked to authorize shortly a split on
a four for one basis in the stock.
Several Issues Strong
Other strong issues able to with
stand the general selling included
Westinghouse Airbrake, National
Dairy Products, copper shares, food
shares, Warner Brothers Pictures
and American Can.
In the last few minutes of trad
ing there was rush to buy on the
part of those who had sold their
stock for profit earlier in the day
This demand caused the tickers to
fall behind ten minutes just before
the close. the latest they have been
in several weeks. However, the vol
ume of trading was still well under
Thursday. due to lightneSs of bust
ness earlier in the session.
After the close it was announced
that the Cleveland and Chicago re-
serve banks had reduced their re-
discount rates. Cleveland from 5
to AZ and Chicago from Az to
per cent.
United States Steel gave a poor
showing during most of the session
due to heavy unloading by many
who had held the stock over a long
period awaiting propitious moment
to sell. The issue closed at 1925,
off a point for the day.
Railroads Show Gain
Real strength was supplied by the
railroad group where the majority
of stocks moved higher on good
buying demand. Coppers were taken
on the improved status of the in
dustry just reported. while oils
were dull and featureleSs.
Lowering of the New York rediS-
count rate last night to from Az
per cent failed to stimulate any en-
thuSiaSm for cotton futures and
they broke to new low ground since
1927 on heavy selling. Grains, on
the other hand, made a fractional
recovery.
Sales for the session totaled
3,391.27O shares, against 3,709,970
Thursday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
were 30 industrialS 26764, off 0.92;
20 rails 1888. up 2.26.
Call money held at per cent all
day and will carry over at that rate
until Monday morning.

Paris, Jan. UP) )-Casanova the greatest over in history. has given his name to the cabaret now most popular with Smartast Partisan society.
 Every season there is q change il nocturnal lie Of Paris. TE- change is only evident to tho-e who know Paris and for the mass , everything go"s on tho same way. The marrow streets Of M0Utmart'" have thei, lights gfitt"ring, gi"ls are everywhere and jazz plays njghtIong. But artists and smari society folk and Partisan habitu~s desert their taVoritc haunts ,s soon as the tourists trample on their heels.
 The Casanova ClGh is place which avoids publicity, knowing that crowds would be deadly bloN to its success. The only way to hear Of it's eXistcnc. is through some of the elect who know where smart Paris moves.
 It is situated very near the bridge Of Caulaincourt, not far from Mont nlartro cemetery. There is no ligt' a' the door, nor the slightest sign to
