TRADING NERVOUS
 ON CURB MARKET
Profit Taking Heavy With Price
 Trend Narrow

New York, April s R-Trading was a nervous and uncertain char acter in todays curb market. Profit taking was heavy, but was fairly well absorbed. Price trends were largely narrow and irregular.
 Tho utility shares were inclined to ease. Niagara Hudson, a recent strong feature, slipped back about point in profit taking. United Light and Power "A" and Middle West Utilities sagged moderately. The United Gas stocks were under pro- nouncedJ pressure, the new shares touching "A, a new low since trad ing was initiated on this market. Electric Bond and Share fluctuated in a narrow area. Consolidated Gas Utilities "B" sagged couple of points to a new low.
 Fox Theaters "A" was again a strong feature, rising to new high ground for the year above 13. American Chain and American Cyan- amid "B" rallied little. Libbey Mc- Neil, however, broke sharply, the annual report apparently failing to come up to expectations. Anglo Chilean Nitrate fell back couple of points, and Perfection Stove, a comparatively inactive issue, drop ped'9.
 Oils appeared to have tired after their recent advance, and moved un- certainly. Cities Service lost more than a point in active trading. Gulf was firm. In the mines. Newmont reacted a few points in sympathy with heaviness of coppers on the big board.
 Investment company and invest ment trust issues were irregular. Railway and light securities was 8 strong feature, rising 3 points to new high ground for the year. Tag gart Corp. sagged in realizing on it's recent advance, and United Founders was again under pressure.

 Less Activity on Market

New York. April s P>-1nvest- firmer tone in today's market. h. quiry for representative high grade issues quickened and a majority of the earlier buying orders were exc cuted at slightly higher levels. Convertible and warrant obligations traded less actively. Prices were highly irregular but mostly lower in sympathy with the trend in share quotations.
 A more plentiful supply of time money was attracted into tRe market by the firmer rates but demand continued light. The recent stiffen- ing in term funds is attributed in part to a belief by some leaders that the expanding volume of stock trading may be reflected by higher interest rates as spring advances. Small commercial demand for funds is reported at present.
 The excellent undertone which the general investment list has demonstrated during the past for. night became more obvious today in the early inquiry for such issues as Canadian Pacific debenture 45 Baltimore & Ohio refunding 5s, Burlington 4ks, Southern Railway General 6las, International Tele- phone 5s, Illinois Bell Telephone 5s Wabash AZ s and American Smelt ing 5s, all of which were very tirn

SEWARD PONIES
 GALLOP OVER NAVY
 SQUAD ID VICTORY
HOTLY CONTESTED GAME WAS FOUGHT EVERY INCH AND
 TO THE LAST SECOND

Last night, the Seward High School five put the U. S. s. WAS MUTH'S fighting basketball team lin the rumble seat and took them for ride at the Dreamland Aud Iitorum It was not an easy task, and was perhaps more good for tune than superior playing on the part of either team Neither of the teams were in the best of condition,
 but, in spite of that, they put up fight for their lives and the game
 was one of frenzical action thru
 out. Dave Turner who refereed the
 game, was very efficient and able
 arbitrater "Iron Horse" Manthey
 led his bucking Ponies in a way to
 court the envy of professional Drake, the captain of the Wasmuth
 five, maneuvered his team on the
 floor with the heroism and confi-
 dence of a conqueror.
 The first quarter started well for \ the Navy with Dutch" Koriner
 making a basket. The ball went towards Stewards goal, they tried and missed ShellhOrn got the ball and Dutch" dived for him. For the remainder of the game those two
 made it a personal affair. After the scramble the ball came back to Seward. Ed Sandbeck passed it to l"Ircn Horse who passed it to Ray
 Manthey and he whizzed it thru
 the hoop. The Navy made a mistake
 and Iron Horse" got a free throw
 and made good. The same thing
 happened again when the ball went
 into play and Ray got the free
 throw and made it. Then Ray
 guarded from the rear and Dutch" got a free one and made it good. Dcn Shellhorn started the quar- ter with 8 good break but was thrown off balance by McDonald
 and missed, The Navy brought the ball back to center where Johnson strong armed it through for the
 basket. Ray got the ball, dived in, under and around the Navy and put the old wind bag through the basket just as the Navy's left guard reched him. Johnson agan got the 7 ball and tried to strong arm one from center He missed and Dutch
 Korner passed it back to him and he made it. Time was called for Seward, and during this period Cap
 tan Ansell, star promoter for the Navy, was caught talking out of
 turn and Iron Horse" got a free throw on technical foul which he sank for one point. Don Shellhorn put one thru the circular netting just after foul was called Ray got the free throw and made it. Otto Sandbeck got one through with a strong arm from away out, Iron Horse" evaded both teams and laid the ball gently through the hoop from right forward posi-
 tion. After a terrific struggle Ray hung up another basket for Se- 5 ward. The Wasmuth team began } to weaken before the ceaselss on 7 slaught of the Ponies and things looked bad for the Navy.
 THIRD QUARTER
 The Navy was out for revenge got the ball from Seward by dog ged persistence of Dutch, sur rounded, sprang, tried, and miss
 ed. Seward got the ball, Dutch" caught ther pass, tried and made it. Ed Sandbeck got the ball from center, passed it to Otto. Dunn in
 tercepted a pass from Otto, pas
 sed it to Drake, "Iron Horse in
 tercepted Drake's pass and tackled another basket onto Stewards score.
