TREND ON CURB

NEW YORK, April Is Q.N.S).
The Curb market appeared to
have reached a position where
bad news had been largely dis
counted, for, despite the pressure
of offerings in early dealings to-
day, declines in prices were more
or less unimportant.
The spectacular comeback OF

SEEN NOW BY
SPECTATOR
Quarters Reports Discounted
and Technical Position Of
Market improved, He Says
By THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, April 25.-The
market enters today's session with
one overhanging factor definitely
out of the way in the official an
nouncement Of the suspension Of
an important commission house.
It remains to be seen what roper
cussions, if any, this news will
bring after a more careful diges-
ton has been made by the outside
public.
Quarterly Reports In
It should be kept in mind, that
a development similar to the above
last December served to start the
market on the long spring advance
which eliminated in late February.
Since then. stocks have fallen
steadily, with most averages Of
prices now back to the low levels
of last year.
Interests gradually veering to
bullish angle, point out that
virtually all of the leading COM
panies have already issued their
first quarterly reports. The mar
ket has had substantial decline
discounting this fact and IS now
in a greatly improved technical
position.
If this technical position is to
be exploited the present appears
to be as good time as any. With
the worst known regarding the
first quarter, the jocular remark
is introduced to the effect that
there is no law against hoping for
better things during the second
quarter.
Cigarette Stocks
Persistent demand for stocks Of
leading cigarette manufacturers is
believed due to indications that
this industry has pulled out Of
the slump of last year. The gain
of go per cent in cigarette produc-
tion for all companies n March
was the best since July of last
year. It was, in fact, only the
third month with any increase
since then.
Production figures in previous
months showed gain Of 4.3 per
cent in February, loss Of 8.2 per
cent in January, gain Of SO per
cent in December, loss of 1910 per
cent in November, losses of %
per cent in October, 1.6 per cent
in September, and 80 per cent in
August, and gain of l0.6 per cent
in July.

Ogden Reminded of Appeal
Before Court Seven Years.

In a Chicago court, Frank
Sprague, official of the Grain Trad
ing Corporation, is on trial for the
murder of a police officer in a
drunken brawl.
And today. Attorney-G General
James M. Ogden was reminded of
the hardness of Indiana justice
when an attorney informed him
Sprague has had false pretense
appeal before the Indiana supreme
court nearly seven years. The APP
peal has been perfected five years.
Milo Feightner, Huntington law
yer and counsel for Sprague, set out
details of the long-delayed appeal
and inclosed a Chicago press clip
ping about the murder charge
against the appellant.
Freightner also called Ogden'S at
tention to another appeal which has
been pending since September,
1926.
Ogden said he will present the
letter to. judges of the supreme
court.

More Than 1000 Already
Have Applied for Only
400 Positions.

With probably no more than 400
positions to be open, more than 1000
men have applied to Postmaster
Robert H. Bryson for work during
the holidays, the postmaster said to-
day.
No additional application blanks
are to be given out after today.
There is no use in a man wasting
his time and efforts to come down
and fill out a blank" he said.
The number of extra men to be
added to the postal department dur
ing the pre-Christmas rush is about
200 lower than last year, due, Bry-
son said, to the probability that
there will not be as much Christmas
mail this year as there was last.
Of the 400 jobs to be allotted, 125
must go to men on the eligible list
of substitutes.
The remainder will be given out
only to married men in good health
and able to stand the physical
demands of the work.
Pay for the extra help is IS cents
an hour for clerks and SIS cents an
hour for laborers, Bryson said.
The jobs will be open as soon as
the mail begins to be flooded with
Christmas packages and greetings,
perhaps about the middle of Deem
Der.

MINISTER UNAFFECTED
If You're Not Safe Here

United Press stan Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. 20-Through
mist-Shrouded streets, Dino Grand,
Italy's foreign minister, who came
to the United States to aid in pro-
noting international good will be-
tween nations, passed today, Yeceiv-
ing an official welcome.
Thousands of police were on
guard as he rode up lower Broad
way, but only two untoward Incl
dents marred the procession. One
group at Bowling Green booed at
the smiling Grandi, while, farther
up the street, mounted police had
to ride into the crowd.
At that point Albert Cuppelli
started shouting assassin" John
Lucci struck Cuppelli and in a few
minutes several Italians in the inn
mediate vicinity were fighting. Po-
lice rode in and cut off a fifty-foot
section of the street, finally sub
DUNG the fighters and forcing Cup
pelli into a store. Cuppelli kept
shouting:
In 1928 they destroyed my news
paper-the assaSSins."
ShOwered With Paper
At other spots along the route,
however, Grand was cheered by the
early morning crowds. The throngs
were held back by squads of foot
and mounted police. Ticker tape
fell from the windows in New York's
typical gesture of welcome.
Chancellor Brown of New York
university. who greeted Grandi in
behalf of the city, said:
II am sorry this fog hides our
sky line If you will remain over
tonight we will show you the bright
lights of Broadway"
Grandi smiled.
Once at the Battery the party
assembled in thirty cars and started
the journey through the canyons of
lower Broadway. Grandi was smil-
ing and waving acknowledging of
the welcome. He seemed unaffected
by the two disturbances, if he even
| noticed them.
At city hall Grandi was greeted by
Mayor James j. walker.
Jimmy Is On Time
Walker was on time and called
attention to the fact, adding he
knew the Italian foreign minister
had to take train to Philadelphia.
Walker spoke of the cultural back
ground the United States had OBJ
tanned from Italy, traced Grandi's
brilliant career in the army and
in service of the Fascist state and
then spoke of reported threats
against Grandi in the United States,
calling them propaganda"
MIR. Grandi if you are not safe
in New York City then 1 am going
to move" the mayor said.
After the city hall reception, the
official party re-entered the motor
cars for a return trip down Board
way. There were new cheers for
the smiling Italian foreign minister.
At Battery, Grandi boarded the
Macon which sailed for Jersey City,
where Grand was to board a special
train for the trip to Philadelphia.

"A jury of twelve men which heard
charges of immortality against Prin-

The jurors had deliberated about

verdict.
West was tried on charges of mis-
conduct with Miss Esther Williams,

Three janitors who admitted they
spied on West through a peephole
in his Office, testified to seeing al
legged amorous scenes. They named
Miss Williams and Miss Blanche

The defense sought to show the
