Cotton futures were slightly
easier today, with selling by COM

the South. ,s.
Liverpool at the time Of the
New York first call was IS
English points lower than due
and both Liverpool and the
continent were again credited
with conducting Straddle opera
tions in the two cotton markets.
A cable from Liverpool said
there was heavy general selling
there ON the higher sterling and
that at Manchester there was q
fair cloth business with India
and China.
Trading was only moderately
active and somewhat mixed.
Japanese interests bought Octo-
ber. New Orleans bought distant
months. Commission houses Hquf-
dated near months. Local traders
sold. Hedge sales and Southern
selling came through spot houses,
but not in heavy volume.

SOARING POUND

By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March 8. UNlSO
The stock market recovered from
yesterdays reaction today on
strength in sterling.
Speculative sentiment was stiff
fened by a spectacular rise in
the pound, which scared here to
$3.65h, up 12b cents from last
nights close.
Leadership was given the mar
ket by the oils, which spurted
under the leadership Of Standard
Of New Jersey.
Opening Mixed
Opening prices were mixed.
Leaders were generally fraction
ally higher, but the rest of the
list gave way under profit-taking.
Once the initial selling was alb
soRbed. the list improved with
American Telephone gainin g
more than a point and U. s.
Steel and American Can firming
up.
Strength in the oils followed
no special development though
the proposed import tax on re-
fined petroleum and gasoline was
a sustaining factor.
The bond market continued to
work into higher ground. Grains
were firm.
Weekly report of the Federal
Reserve member banks showed the
first gain net demand and time
deposits in several months.
Rails Irregular
Railroad stocks were mixed,
ignoring the news that the big
Eastern systems were adding to
their holdings Of the merger roads
like the Lackawanna and Read
ing in the open market. New
York Central was firm but Union
Pacific was easier. Baltimore and
Ohio was steady.
insult issues continued to
strengthen both here and In Chi
cago on lifting of selling pressure.
Specialties were strong and Air
Reduction rose almost 2 points to
a new high for the year. q. s.
Alcohol, which has the same
sponsorship, gained more than a
point.

Sales rec 0rds plainly indicate that this city is ever responsive to oppOrtuni- ties and the fact that Waterbury won the Banner B' event in spIr- tied competition with stores throughout the United States proves eonclusiveiy that its shop ping public is not only alert. but appreciatIve."
 "In my travels about the east ern section of the country 1 have found conditions in this immediate vicinity more stable than in other communities. Our Christmns busi- ness was splendid.

MYSTERY DEATH
 OF SOCIETY MAN

Crosse Pointe Farms, Mich, Dec 29--(UP) = Investigation Of the fatal shooting of Arthur Morley Kugeman, society man who died C week ago, was resumed today after Coroner Albert T.. French ex- pressed his firm conviction that two rev0ivers had been used in
 Progrsss of the invsstig igation will be kept secret, officials said, but 1t has been extended beyond the immediate relatives of the slain man to the circle of his friends and ncquaintances.
 The surprising turn of events which fostered the continuance of the states interest in the matter came several days after chief as- sistant Prosecutor w. 00mer Krise had termed the death of the 32 year old former New Yorker q suicide and had announced that he was through with the case.
 The re-0pening involved aband- onment of the theory that Kuge- man, who married the daughter of Arthur If. Duhi, Detroit capital ist, had shot himself three times with Luger pistod found near his body. William Cavere, bal1is- tics expert of the Detroit police department found that but two shots had been fired from the piss toi. The bullet holes In the dead mans coat, could not have been indicted by less than three bullets
 "i'iI sxhums Kugsman's body if t is necessary to prove that ! Atn right" French said.
 An element Of mystery was ifl- jeeted into the death with the rec port of members Of Kugem9n'e family that he had not been de- pressed previous to his death. Last Thursday, when he was shot, he had appeared in good spiritB at dinner with Mrs Kugeman and her brother, Q. Henry Buhls they said. shortly afterwards they told police, he excused himself and went upstairs. within ( few Tnin- utes, shots were heard.
 Mrs Kugenan and her brothei found Kugeman unc0nscious tn the bathroom. He died half on hour later.
