driveway at the rear Of the Fall

residence day and night for nearly
a week stood in silence.
A motorcycle policeman stopped
his machine with muffled motor in
the street outside the driveway. In
many windows Of adjacent houses
appeared faces of men, women and
children, some of whom had been
Falls neighbors for 20 years and
more. Others stood on curbs near
by. Many were crying.
Someone carried a few articles

Exchange Is Asked to List
North American Trust

Following the statement by
Richard Whitney, president of
the New York Stock Exchange,
that recent exchange rulings in
regard to investment trusts of
the fixed or restricted manage
ment type had been misunder-
stood, comes an announcement
that North American Trust Shares
yesterday filed application with

George B. Cortelyou, jr., presi-
dent of Distributors Group, Inc,
sponsors of North American Trust
Shares, declared that he believed
this action could be taken as one
answer to rumorS that some of
the foremost trusts were antago-
nistic to the Exchanges rulings.
To emphasize his belief that
the position Of the exchange was
welcome and that whatever
rumors had been reported were in
fact due to confusion among

PROFITS
Spectator Cites Portfolio
Making Heavy Short Term
Gain, Now Showing Big Loss
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 27.-The ele-
ment of time is Of utmost import
ance in determining the success
of speculative or investment ven
lures in the security field.
Certainly the "beSt buys" In
the market of a year or so back
have not come up to expecta-
tions. One illustration will suffice.
How Story Changes
In its recent issue of 1880 a
prominent financial publication
selected a group of 10 stocks it
regarded as the outstanding in
veStments of the year. Three
months later it reprinted these
selections with the profit that
purchasers had to their credit II
the recommendations had been
acted on promptly.
The list is given herewith
without comment. The stocks
and the prices at the time pur.
chase was recommended follow;
United States Steel, 1859; Consoh-
dated Gas, 101: R. H. Macy, 142;
Standard Oil of New Jersey, 65;
American Tobacco, 201 (split 2
for-1 Since); Union Carbide 80;
Standard Gas and Electric, ia;
New York Central, 1859; American
Can, 122. and Westinghouse Elec-
trio and Manufacturing, 145.
New Index Significant
According to a new index on
general business, the average OF
all the business depressions since
1903 is measured as 40 points be-
low the normal rate.
This index has added value
since it measures general business
activity in the form of sales as
we'll as production. Today's level
is computed as being approx.
mately 80 points below the nor
NAL life.
In 1904 the curve got down to
81 below normal. In 1908 it stood
at about 38 below normal. In
1914 it receded to about SO below
normal. The extreme decline of
1921 carried the curve to 50 below
normal.
Nearing Average
Therefore, it appears evident
that the current depression has
just about reached the average
of all depressions in the last %
years.
It still remains we'll above the
low point of 1921, the recession
generally used as most compar.
able with the current depression.

Slump in Freight LoadingS
Is Factor in N. Y. CentraI's
Recession to Nine-Year Low
By w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, May 27 GN.sJ.
For a brief period today the
active industrial stocks and rails
held steady or at slightly above
yesterdays closing prices.
Then the deluge of selling was
renewed, first in the railroad
group and then in the industrialS
and specialties, and the whole list
moved lower.
Rail Earnings Shrink
The rails we're unsettled by the
April income statements, which
show anywhere from 10 to 60 per
cent shrinkages in net earnings,
as compared with the same
month last year. which in turn
made an unfavorable comparison
with the fourth month of 1929.
The weekly steel trade reviews
were not very favorable, either in
the production or the consump-
ton end Of the industry.
A break in New York Central
TO 80A, the lowest since 1922,
was based on the poor freight
loading reports and vague rum
ors of another dividend cut. New
Haven, Atchison, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Chesapeake
and Ohio and a dozen other we'll
known rails fell off from a frac-
ton to 212 points.
Motor Stocks Lag
Sales resistance talk in the au-
tomobile trade has accounted for
the slight reactions in General
Motors and other well-known
rails. Auburn Auto today hit 155,
down 16 points from yesterdays
close and 50 points from last
Saturday.
Losses of / to points were re-
corded for a number of the well
known industrials and specialtieS.
including Bethlehem Steel, Colum-
bian Carbon, Union Carbide, Bor-
den, Allied Chemical, International
Nickel, etc.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, May 81 0N.SJ. .
Cloth markets were dull today.
Demand for gray goods was light.
Buyers showed interest in limited
yardages of spot goods. but mills
were unwilling to sell quick goods
at concessions that they were
unwilling to grant for late June
and for July forward deliveries.
Buyers appeared uninterested in
later deliveries, although there
were one or two intimations that
something might develop shortly
for very late delivery. Print
cloth prices showed few further
changes. Narrow sheetingS were
generally unchanged, although
mills were more willing to sell
later deliveries at prices hereto
fore reserved for spot delivery.

When Marjorie married Rich mond repeated slowly the words Dr. Netherton had just spoken, "she would not get a penny of her aunt's money. Why did Miss Querdling say that to you?"
 That is question only she could answer" replied Bill cooly, continuing when the superintendent insisted that she must have had a reason.
 "You know how old ladies are" said Bill with a shrug. "She also said that the singing fool as she called Duckworth, hoped to per- suade her otherwise, but would be disappointed"
 Why should Miss Querdling couple you with Marjorie?" the superintendent persisted Are you engaged?"
 We are not" the doctor retorted. Look here, you are on the wrong track altogether. Marjorie Blake and I are nothing more than old friends. If her aunt wanted to make silly suggestions, there is no need for you to-"
 Bill revealed under questioning that Miss Querdling had been ill so rarely that she had no regular physician and that his call on the night of the tragedy marked his third professional visit to her estate. He denied emphatically that he possessed Miss Querdling' g's intimate confidence.

SYNOPSIS: The murder of Arnabelle Querdling, crushed to death by a statue in her lovely garden, remains shroud- ed in mystery. Her niece, Eve Iyn Blake, had previously con- suited Jimmie Maswell, young London lawyer, concerning sev- eraI death threats against the eccentric spin S t CT. Marjorie Blake, her sister, returning to the garden, which she and Dr. Netherton had just left, finds her aunt dead and summons Evelyn and her fiance, Lionel Duckwcrth, who have been in the house singing. Suporinten- dent Richmond, conducting the investigation, hears their stor- ies and that of Janet Haynes, the maid, confirming them. Major Gresham explains his presence near the scene by tell ing of his unsuccessful propOs- al of marriage to Miss Querd- ling. Green, the chauffeur, who, with Joe Allen, discharged gar dener, is under suspicion, tells of a strange car he saw parked near the house, while Constable Roscoe also recalls seeing an- ether mysterious automobile and a stranger beside it. Dr. Nether- ten reluctantly relates Miss. QuerdIing's threat to him to disinherit Marjorie should she marry.
