depends on a material increase in in
dustrial activity, and although this has
remained about the same, stocks on

demand.
All Commodities.
All commodities were only fractionally
lower than a week ago. The divisions
that declined were Industrial, agricul-
tural, live stock, fuels, non-ferrous
metals, paint materials, textiles, fine
and coarse, and vegetable oils.
Industrial.
Prices Of industrial commodities de-
clined somewhat due to the influence
of fuels, non-ferrous metals, textiles,
and vegetable oils. Hides and leather
was the only group to show an increase
due mainly to heavy native steers, calf
skins, and upper leather.

house sentiment was frightened by the
improved tone Of the stock market In
the last two sessions and today's COM
ment, although not buIlish, was more
hopeful. Opinions include:
E. p. Hutton g. Co.-our feeling 10
that the risks Of this market are de-
creaSing rather than increasing and that
we are at point where the mere pas
sage Of time is an important technical
and fundamental factor affecting the
constructive side.
Clark Williams g. Cove do not
look for any material advance in the
market until there Is some favorable
development of importance to business
in general, and further 1rregularity IN
prices is to be expected
Pask q Walbridge Stocks are in a
position where the publication of any
favorable news would find offerings In
many cases extremely thin The action
indicates that some of the most impor-
tant bear operators have taken in their
lines and are holding of for the present,
In the belief that prices may have
reached bottom for the time being any
way.
jackson Bros, Boesel d Co.-The
significant feature Of yesterdays stock
market was that 1t turned unusually
dull in the face of news from the steel
industry which was decidedly bearish.
HamershIag, Borg q Colt looks
very much as II we might anticipate
selective weakness in certain stocks,
but q sufficient investment demand in
the majority, which are well debated,
to prevent any further sharp falling
OF IN values. There seems to be q
at the low levels Of last Wednesday,
which were slightly below. the Decern-
Der II and April 2o double bottom.
This might indicate that the selling
movement win establish its permanent
low point In this area.

hearts, and the trouble starts in the East and West camps. On the ace of hearts, East discards the seven of diamonds, dummy the deuce of spades, West feels al ease and discards club. Three more rounds of hearts are taken by the declarer, East discarding the eight of diamonds and the four and five of spades, dummy discarding the three of spades and the three and five of. diamonds, West discarding two clubs and the four of diamonds.
 The declarer continues with his last heart, the five spot, and the triple squeeze play starts to work. East cannot discard the six of spades or the spades will be Set in dummy, therefore must bear down to his king of diamonds by discard ing the jack. Dummy now lets go the ten of spades, West cannot dis card his ace of clubs, therefore dis cards the nine of spades. Declarer leads the seven of spades, winning in the dummy with the king, West following with the queen.
 The finishing touches of the triple squeeze are now made by the lead of the ace of spades from dummy. If West discards the ace of clubs, the nine becomes good in dummy. If diamond is discarded, the declarer will lead the ten of dia- monds from dummy overtaking with the ace in his own hand, and all his diamonds are good.
 With the aid of the triple squeeze the declarer has made a small slam.
