 Increased Prices
But Before the Closing Hours They Dropped Back Again = Railroad Shares Held the Closest Attention

attributed to short covering. There was nothing in the news to bring change of sentiment. Bus mess indlces continued to reflect seasonal recession. Pressure re- faxed from sterling and grains. however, and bonds were firmer, these items helping the share mar ket.
 Railroad shares were the center of attention as most of the news of the day conversed on that group. They moved up in early trading with gains ranging to points, but receded with the general market and later were irregular in a nar- row range.
 Car loadings improved over the previous week reported which tn- clpded the Thanksgiving holiday. while these reports were being re- ceived, the national transportation committee, headed by Calvin Cool idge. was listening to all angles of the transportation problem set forth by various organization in- terested. At the same time rail- road heads were comforting in Chf- cago prior to their conference with railroad executives Monday on the question of continuing the present 10 per cent wage cut agreement which expires early next year.
 The steel industry continued to lose ground. Production was esti- mated at 61,216 cars and trucks. up IS per cent from october. Tho Iron Age estimated December pro- duction would reach 100000 ve- hicles, the largest since July.
 Electricity output for the week ended December was down 9.6 per cent from the corresponding week of 1881. Tn the preceding week the drop from a year ago was "a per cent.
 Oil statistics were unfavorable with crude production and stocks of gasoline higher in the week of December 3. Copper metal dropped to record low at cents a pound for December delivery.
 Steel common reached 34 but date in the day broke below the previous close of 33N. Case eased nearly points from it's high: American Can more than . point from its high and other leading issues made corresponding dips.
 Seaboard oil which appears to be under pool guidance made an- other of It's spurts on large blocks. It reached a new high for the year at 20. but later lost part of the gain. s-- Automobile shares were firm on the estimates of increased output. Studebaker pureferred jumped more than points and the more active issues like General Motors and Chrysler gained fractionaliy. Utilities were adversely affected by the decline in power output and by action of American Water Works in halving its common divi- dend. Tn the communications. American Telephone reached 108 and later fell before the previous close of 107h.
 According to preliminary calcu- lation, the Dow. Jones & Go indus trial average stood at 59.79, up 0.21. Railroad 26.9s. up 0.17 and Utility 26.62 off 0.08.

KISS BURGLAR MAY HAVE BEEN
 THE KIDNAPER
Police Ask Col Schwartz kopf of New Jersey to Look Into History of Drowned Burglar

New London, Conn. Dec 7-- CUP)@pouce have asked Colonel H. Norman Schwartzkopf of the New Jersey state police to consider the possibility the Lindbergh baby Kidnapping was done by Nicholas Dotolo, the kiss burglar, who was drowned in the Thames river Saturday night in an attempt to escape arrest.
 Michael l. Silvertein. chief of detectives at Mount Vernon. N. Y., was the first to offer the. sugges- tion, pointing out that Dotolo fre-. quently used ladders to invade up- strais bedrooms and the brutal murder of Charles A. Lndbergh, Jr. was in keeping with Dotolo's known character. Silverstein, who came here to check Dotolo's con- nection with Westchester County, W. r., crimes, said the dead crim- inal was known to have operated around Newark, N. J., at the time of the Lindbergh kidnapping.

GREAT BRITAIN MAY THROTTLE
 OUR IMPORTS
Foreign Exchange Restric- tions on American Im- ports May Be Promised Threat, and Not Tariff
By HERBERT MOORE

London, Dec. 7- UP)-Great Britain may resort to foreign ex- change restrictions to throttle Am- erican imports, instead of applying special tariff duties, if Washington insists on the December 15 war debt payment of $95,550, 900, the United Press learned today.
 Destruction of foreign exchange also would safeguard the pound sterling. The dollars available weekly or monthly in London to be purchased to pay United States exporters could be rationed, thus restricting United States imports.
 Great Britain is the only import ant country off the gold standard that has avoided foreign exchange restrictions They are effective in 35 countries. The restrictions diff fer widely, but all are aimed to protect national currencies.
 Experts of the treasury and the board of trade were understood to be preparing data flor early con- sideration by the cabinet on the most feasible and friendly method of rectifying the adverse Anglo American trade balance, now five to one in favor of the United States.
 This might be accomplished In one of three ways, by prohibitive tariffs on American goods, drastic restrictions through quota systems similar to those established in France, or by foreign exchange re- strictions.
 It was pointed out to the United Press while the first two methods are most direct and effective, they undoubtedly would strain relations between Britain and the United States and delay, if not block, ulti. mate readjustment of the Anglo American war debt settlement.
 "The government positively has no desire to discriminate against United States prpducts, but merely intends to safeguard the pound sterling at home and abroad" A reliable spokesman told the United Press.
 This inevitably will require ade- gate easing of the strain on ster- ling, always heavy on account of the one to five trade disadvantage against Britain in British-Ameri- can trade. The strain will be un- withstandable after the December 15 war debt payment has further ,sapped Britain's depleted reserves"

impossible the conclusion of a new trade agreement and demanded that the Soviet government state clearly it's policy towards Britain"
 Eden said Sir John had received q moral reply from the embassy eration.
 Tho editorial referred to by Eden is believed to have been one in which Britain was accused of preparing to forge proof that the London hunger march" was di- rected from Moscow and that Mos COW was tryling to foment civil war in India.
 Izvestia alleged British agents in Riga, Latvla, had been instructed to "rabricatc" documents tending to bear out such charges. E Izvestia hinted that Britain's ab- rogation of the Anglo Russian trade agreement was not for eco- homie reasons but part of a. broad capitalistic plan for a new cru- sade against the Soyiets"
 The newspaper said 1t suspected the richards in Britain were aim- ing to disrupt the chances for im- proved relations of the Soviet Union with the United States, France, Roumania and other coun- tries. :.
 Persia Telis Her Side
 London, Dec 7-UP)-The Persian government sought to-day to ease the tension arising from It's cancellation of the Anglo Persian Oil company concession by offering to negotiate settlement and de- claring it's desire for "continuance of good relations between Persia and Great Britain
 The legation denied hints that Soviet Russia was interested in the controversy.
 The Persian legation issued a communique saying It's government was ready to discuss and nego- tiate terms of revised agree mentp
 "rhe sole object of action by the Persian government was to safe- guard it's own interests which is the inaliable right and duty of every nation." the communiquc said.
 Commenlng on the fact that London newspapers yesterday printed photographs of the Soviet am bassador leaving the Persian le- gation. the communique indignant ly denied the visit was connected with the dispute. It said the pho- tograph apparently was an at. tempt Ito create difficulties re- garding a matter amicably adjust a hlo

 we suffered enormous losses last year." said Martin, in an- ment policy affecting everyone from president to bat boys.
 The American Association diyi- slons proposal was submitted also to the International League which was given until 10 a. m. tomorrow to accept or reject 1t. Internation- al annually plays little world series" with the American Associa- ton champions.
 It was ifitimated that the Amer jean Association might adopt the east-west proposal without approv- al of the International league. Tn that case, the two leagues might terminate their Little World Ser ies" because of the later closing date of the International, 1t was said.
 The plan approved by the Ameri- can Association provides for creat- ing an eastern division composed of the Columbus. Toledo, Indiana polls and Louisville clubs. and a western division composed of the Minneapolis, Milwaukee, St Paul and Kansas City clubs.
 The basis for the east west play offs would be the standings of the various clubs at the end of the reg ular 154-game season. The lead- ing eastern club then would meet the leading western club In a sev- en-game series for the right to rep resent the league in the Little World Sries'.
 The leaders would be determined by their percentages against all clubs of both divisions.
 The divisional plan also provides a bonus inducement to players who participated in the regular playing season, Club owners would be bound to guarantee each player a certain amount if his team finishes in any one of the first five places in the final Standing.
 Under the plan, players on the first place club each would receive $1 900 if their club won the d. visional play-off, or $500 each II their club lost. Players on the second place club would receive at ad least $500 each: third place. $400 fifth place, $100 each.
 The $40,000 fund necessary to guarantee players these amounts would be raised by assessing each club two cents for every admission during the regular season. in case of deficit in the fund, the clubs would be assessed according to their league standing.
 The plan proposed by the Amer ican Association was deemed nec- essary because of waning interest and huge losses to club owners. Tn recent season, the league pennant race usually has been decided long before the close of the schedule. with resultant lack of interest in cities with second division teams
