New Malt Beverage
 Seized By Agents
No Raids in Waterbury as Stores Selected as Retail
 DepOts Have Not Staked Up

Federal agents in Connecticut have launched new campaign di- rected principally at the manufac- turers of new malt beverage re- tailed under the name of "Neeco". Several raids have already resulted in Hartford, Meriden. Bridgeport, New Haven, New Britain and Rock vile. Members of the local em- ergency squad have yet to be asked to assist the federal agents in any search here, but it is known that two attempts were made to estab- fish local distributing stations.
 'Neeco" is used as the foundation for high-test beer according to the allegations of the government. A certain amount of yeast and sugar added to the basic ingredient and the boys will think they're in Ger many drinking the real stuff. That is, according to the word passed around, but apparently the intro duction of the beverage has yet to meet with any real success.
 Following raids in various parts of the state to discourage sales it was agreed that the Distributing Company of America would stand defendant on all charges preferred by the prohibition officers of Con- necticut. A federal jury may be

New York, June 26 - (UP) - Automobile equipment shares came
 to the front on the Stock Exchange this afternoon, rising fractions to 1 points. The same held true on the
 Chicago stock Exchange where Bendix Aviation made up hGlf oi the business for the first three hours.
 | Prices generally were firm on the Stock Exchange but trading declined | in volume. Earlier in the day when indications of Franco-American accord on the Hoover debt proposal were bright for immediate action the Stock Market joined with the Paris Bourse in demonstration 0f strength reminiscent of the 1929 bull
 market days.
 Sentiment was still bullish, but in- centive to buying was. softened some- what when 1t developed Franco American negotiations would require a little time. Some profit-taking
 came into the list and prices eased from their highs. However, support was encountered on each decline and setbacks were not wide in any in- stance.
 Steel held around 101 up 2 3-S;
 Case S7 up 6; Radio 21 Is up l IS; Westinghouse Electric 68 3-4 up 1-2; Allied Chemical 130 1-4
 up 2 1-2; and General Motors 39 3-S
 up 5-8.
 There was nothing in the news to account for the sudden popularity in the automobile equipment shares.
 The motor stocks were strong yes terday and to-day and this may have been a reflection of increased production in the near future for
 several companies which would help the equipments.
 In the motor equipment group.
 Bendix Aviation rose to 21 Is up 1-8; Briggs Manufacturing Al 1-4, up 1 1-2; Timken Roller Bearing Al, up 1-2; Electric Autolite 46 1-2, up l l 1-2; and Stewart Warner 13, up 1-2.
 Merchandising shares moved ahead under the lead of Sears Roe-
 buck which was up 1-S points to l62 1-8. Hahn department stores rose tor IA up 1 3-4 and Montgom- cry Ward 23 up 3-4.
 Railroad shares held gains ranging | to more than a point, despite returns
 showing May net operating income off 33 per cent from May, 193O.
 Utilities were strong and active with International Telephone up 2 points
 at 35 1-8 to feature the communica-
 tions and American & Foreign Pow

 bought 25,O00.
 At 1880 the Dow-Jones industrial average was at 153.80 up 3.44; rail- road 84.61 up 0.96; utility 62.12 up 1.97. Sales to 1.30 totaled 2,100,00O

At the opening. wheat was IN

was unchanged to s cent lower
and oats were steady with May old
of 4. Provisions were quiet and
about steady.
Liverpool closed steadier at 8 to
s cent higher, owing to decrease in
stocks. Buenos Aires was i cent
lower at noon. The wheat market
still lacks incentive action either
way, the low prices holding no ap-
peal to side interests. Old crop flu
