looks from her American mother, who
was Margaretta Brexel.

daughter of the MarchioneSs Tweed
dale, and Lady Marguerite Bligh,
daughter of the Earl of Darnley, will
both be presented.
Another debutante, Sheila Bacher, is
q great-granddaughte of Elizabeth
O'Neill, wife Of Sir William Becher, the
first baronet, and a famous actress OF
her time, who sat, unconSciouSly, Tor

.FUTURISTIC FOOD CULT
PREFERS USING FINGERS
Forks Not Sufficiently Intimate for
signor Marinetti, Who Favors
"Prelabial Incentive"

ROME CN.A.N.A.) The futuristic food
people, with Signor Marinetti at their
head, are out to do more than reduce
the spaghetti and macaroni consump-
ton Of their native land. True is It
that "farinsceous and fattentng food
stuffs are out of favor as futuristic
foods" but there are other things to
think Of besides.
one such thought is that fingers
were made before forks and futuriStic
food. it is now stated requires the
abolition Of knives and forks, since
the sense of touch is to act as q pre-
labial incentive to appetite" In other
words, the knife and fork touch is
not sufficiently intimate for Signor
Marinetti.

Many Stocks Go to New Highs
Of Year Before Buying Halt
Brings on Slight Reactions
By w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, March 10 Q.N.S0.
A burst of new speculative buying
of the public utility stocks in the
first hour today carried a dozen
or more of the leaders to new
high levels for the year.
Demand for the utilities was
based on the reported formation
Of q giant holding company to
bring together Consolidated Gas.
United Corporation and their al
filiated companies, including Nj
agara Hudson Power and Amer
ican Superpower into the most
powerful utility combination the
world has ever seen.
Steel FOrges Ahead
United States Steel forged
ahead to 147Ha, despite the fact
that Wall Street looked for a
decline in the February forward
tonnage, to be shown in the
monthly report at noon.
Consolidated Gas pushed for
ward in an enthusiastic buying
move to 10512, up nearly 3 points
to the highest price of the year.
United Corporation sold frac-
tionally above 80. Public Service
Of New Jersey climbed about 2
points to 90% and Electric Power
sold above SO. General Electric,
Westinghouse and American Can
continued the forward move
which was in progress at yester-
days close.
The market was unsettled in
the second hour by another drop
in Warner Brothers to below IL
accompanied by a 2-point break
in the 6 per cent bonds Of the
corporation. The balance of the
amusement group shared the re-
dictionary tone of Warner, but
losses were comparatively small.
Losses in FavOriteS
The market was highly irregular
In the second hour, some of the
favorites dropping off a point or
two, while others forged ahead
strongly. Electric Autolite, Johns
Manville and United Aircraft
were good ground gamers, while
Allied Chemical reacted. The mo-
tors were unsettled by the reduc-
ton Of Mack Trucks dividend to
So a share.

MARKET IS SEEN
LIKE 9-R|NG
CIRCUS
Observers Not Yet Ready to
Favor Constructive Side
of Prices, Says Spectator
By THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK., March 10.-The
stock market tends to give the ap-
pearance of three-ring circus,
with buoyancy in utilities, steadi-
ness in the industrials and slug
gishness in the rails, acommon
characteristic of recent trading
sessions.
Yesterday, largely due to a gain
Of is points in the utility aver
age, the Standard Statistics Index
Of 90 stocks showed an advance
of nine-tenths of a point. The
rail averages, however, closed the
day fractionally lower, while in
the industrial list, United States
Steel was a prominent laggard.
Observant market students are
not yet ready to favor the con-
structive side of prices on the
basis of what the utilities have
done in the past few days. 1t is
held that the current strength in
this group suggests window dress
ing preliminary to new financing,
although on the basis of their
high price-earnings ratio and low
dividend yields, there is little that
can be called attractive in the
eyes of investment sources.
Outlook Not Promising
While conceding that further
irregular strength may be wit
messed in forthcoming sessions
the outlook for a sustained gen
eral advance is not promising.
The backwardness of the rails,
particularly in AtchiSon, Chesa-
peake and Ohio and Southern
Pacific, in which there is not the
slightest reason to suspect any
change in current dividend rates,
casts a cloud over the bullish
possibilities of the market in gen.
eral. If investment demand is
insufficient at this time to sup
port stocks which return close to
a 6 per cent yield, it hardly will
be rushing pellmell to buy utility
stocks which are returning any
where's from 1 to 21a per cent at
current levels.
In other words, when the pres
ent speculative buying will have
run its course there will be a con-
siderable vacuum from the objec-
tive levels to the points where
outright investment purchasing
will act as the cushion in a fall
ing market.
Buy Now, Says Service
A policy of discriminate buying
is warranted, according to the
latest bulletin of one of the many
advisory services. Mention is
made of the fact that year ago
business activity was not over 10
per cent below normal, whereas
it is now down Is to 80 per cent.
In the early months of 1880,
moreover, there was no drastic
readjustment in commodity prices.
Copper was then pegged at 18
cents, and commodity prices
since then have been readiusted
thoroughly, the decline from the
1929 level amounting to more
than 20 per cent. Therefore this
quarter takes the view that we
are so much nearer the bottom.
The Washington times., 1931-03-10
BONDS DEMAND
SEEN FIRM

The combination Of rising
prices in the security markets and
an extremely low total Of new
financing in February serves as a
basis for an optimistic outlook in
the financial field, according to
the monthly investment review Of
Lawrence Stern & Co., investment
bankers, Of Chicago and New
York.
The review, based on reports
from leading financial institutions
throughout the country, ascribes
the firm tendency of the bond
market throughout February, in
large degree, TO the realization
that demands for Government
financing have proved to be a
lesser factor than had been an
ticipated.
Another favorable factor in
connection with the bond market,
the review points out, is the re-
stricted volume Of current offer
ings, which contributes toward a
scarcity value" for high-grade
bonds. This is confirmed, it is
stated, by widespread reports Of
low inventories Of high-grade
bonds on dealers shelves.
