NEW YORK, June 2.--The stock
market rallied from another decline
today, held steady at levels fractions
to a point or so above the previous
close and then around noon started
gradually to sink again.
Large blocks OF stock were dis
posed OF at the opening at lower
levels, Steel common touched new
low for nine years and long list
Of rails was carried to the lowest
prices in many years.
On the rally Steel came back to
1914. up points from the early low.
At noon 1t was back to 05ss. Other
leading industrial issues moved in
about the same way and rails also
we're unable to hold gains.
Pace Slows Down
Dealings were on large scale at
the outset as result Of the hqui-
detion Of weakly margined accounts.
The pace slowed down later.
Copper shares declined following
action of Copper Exporters, Inc, in
reducing the price Of foreign copper
TO correspond with an 81 cent do
nestle price.
Among issues which we're accord
cd fair support in the morning were
General Electric, American Can,
General Motors, Westinghouse Elec-
trio, Union Carbide, National Bis
cult, all of which registered net gains
ranging to more than a point. These
gains we're reduced gradually in the
early afternoon.
Call MOne- Firm
Transamerica was again depressed
to a new record low from which 1t
rallied a small fraction.
Cotton futures declined to new
low levels since 1915. A recovery.
followed the early decline in this
commodity, but prices were still un-
Ger the previous close around noon.
Grains held steady. Call money
renewed at liz per cent and held
there.

High Prices Gone

The Dow-Jones industrial aver
age at the close Monday stood at
1921 for the first time since May,
1925, when it was down as low as
121.10. The railroad average was
at 67.94, the lowest since June, 1921,
when it touched 65.52.
Today 300, or 40 per cent of all
active common stocks are selling at
an average price of Az, against
561a in the 1928 1929 markets. There
are no stocks actively traded SELL
ing at or above 200. The last to
leave this fold was Peoples Gas,
which dropped out last week. There
are very few selling at 100 or above.
In the decline, dividend yields
have risen, usually presaging reduc-
ton or elimination of the payments.

house Electric, 7; General Electric,
AZ, and Bethlehem Steel, 1919.
Yields of lower grade issues run
much higher.
Since Jan. 1, this year, more than
900 dividends of American corpora
tons have been omitted or re-
duced. These changes included 400
omitted, IS deferred and 373 re-
duced.
Despite this formidable array of
adverse factors, keen observers find
under the surface trend toward
betterment. Not much is expected
from the stock market. Contrary
to old-tiIne opinion the stock mar
ket does not discount the future.
This has been demonstrated for
several years in rapid changes in
business, the most notable being
the 1929 downturn when the stock
market advanced more than three
months after the industrial de-
preston had been under way.

HOUSE LIGHTING
BY Dr.. Fred Andreae

We need more natural light il our
homes Sunlight in addition to baing
necessary to life ITSELF is health
giving light and there is no more ef-
he ve death to disease germs 90
mach shade about tbe house ie4s to
make it damp unhealthy and prevents
the natural light from entering 10 as
large quantities 4s it is advisable that
it should.
Trees and shrubs should not be
planted about the house SO that in
later years they viii grow to shade
the building itself We say that we
plant trees to have the house cool in
summer but the temperature OF Tie air
entering the house is determined by
the temperature OF the air near the
ground surrounding the house and if
the trees are so planted that they shade
the ground about the house aad not
the house itself you viii have the
combined advantage ST cool braezes
and the healthy sunlight.
The practice Of curtaining windows
from the top is wrong for jest results
are obtained in seeing when the light
comes from above ana if the quantity
Of light entering the room is too great
for comfort tits better TO cut OF the
surplus from the bottom of the window,
leaving it unshaded at the top. Try
it sometime and note the increase in
visual comfort
The supply of natural light into the
homes should be unobstructed We
are well informed on the necessity Of
fresh air 10 our homes; sunlight is
even more essential and should be
welcomed into every room. The pre-
sent day tendency OF building homes
with fewer and smaller windows n
wrong This was probably bFou eht
by the increasing heating costs beca Sc
of the cold which enters the no ms
around and through the winaows.

NOTICE TO DUCK HUNTERS

The wildfowl season closed through
out the entire United States on Satur-
day, January 31st. We call attention
of all persons owning duekiae blinds
erected on any of the waters OF this
State, to a Federal regulation issued
on Nay 10, 1881, by the War Depart
ment of the United States Under
this regulation, Article provides as
follows:
tal Blinds built under these regula-
lions shall be OF Temporary construction
without riprap or other protection anG
all parts thereof shall be readily re
movable.
~ The name of the owner of the
duck blind shall be con stantly display
ed on the structure.
tc) At the end of each hunting sea
son, all blinds shall be removed by
their owners or else maintained so as
to be plainly visible to navigation OF
all kinds
/ You will note this regulation pro
vides that all blinds shall be removed
at the end of each hunting season
Therefore, we must request that the
owners OF any ducking blinds located
on any of the waters of this State.
comply with the Federal regulation
and remove their blinds at once. This
means the removal of the entire blind
and unless it is removed, the only wa
to make the blind visioleto navigation
would be to display a light on the
4 blind each night from February lst to
October 3lst.
In comforting with Captain Harry
o Tunis of the United States Engin-
GERS Office, Custom House, Baltimore,
Maryland, this date, he has informed
me that all ducking blinds must be
removed from the waters.
In view of the enforcement of this
Federal regulation, we think it would
be advisable to re-enact our laws pro
hibiting any ducking blinds being
i placed on any of the waters OF this
State.

The Orphans Court o Tuesday
passed an order requiring all notices
by executors or administrators of
estates to creditors to be publised in
the two papers in the County. The
idea is questionable good, as the
public should be as fully informed of
such matters as possible, aud the Court
realizing this fact have acted upon
their convictions. In doing SO too,
they have shown broad and liberal
trend of mind, fully in keeping with
the character of the men who should
fill the positions they occupy. And so
unlike too, to some other officials of
the County, who not handicapped by
law, but narrow-minded, have subor-
dinated their duty to the baneful in
fl 4ence OF picayune politicians.
