HOME OWNERS
To GET LOANS

Former Representative Franklin
D. Fort of New Jersey. now chair
man of the new home loan bank
system, has given assurance that
Federal relief is in sight for small
home owners who are facing
foreclosure. .
The Home Loan Bank Board,
appointed only last week by
President Hoover under terms of
an act passed during the last days
of the past session of Congress,
already is functioning.
Chairman Fort in a radio ad-
dress last night, said:
Tho boards purpose is to
mortgage some part at least of
the liquidity and prompt reli-
able value possessed by notes in
the hands of commercial banks.
Its structure Is in a large meas
ure a duplicate of the Federal
Reserve Bank System and its
major purpose is to do for those
institutions which lend on mort
cages what the Federal Reserve
System does for the banks"

Those are the reasons why re6ners have tried

the reasons why Gulf is pleased to announce

Gulf makes the best gasoline that can be

RALLY SEEN DUE

NEW YORK, March % G.N.SD.
With more than two weeks of
almost uninterrupted decline be-
hind, even the bearishly inclined
admit that the market has worked
into a position for at least a
technical rally.
There was a good deal of smart
covering Saturday, with those
who were short inclined to wait
for a chance now to do as we'll
on the upside.
Weakness in the rails was curl
GUS in view of predictions that
Wednesdays car loadings report
would show another gain. There
also were rumors of favorable
railroad developments brewing in
Washington.
Carrier stocks now are only
about a point above their bear
market low and sentiment would
be further disturbed if they went

BREAK CHECKED
AFTER HEAVY
LOSSES
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, March % Q.N.S) i.
The Washington tax muddle sig.
nalized by the defeat of the
sales tax brought another unset
tied stock market today, further
weakness in the dollar and a
heavy tone of security and com.
modify markets generally.
Leading stocks were down from
to points in the early deal
ings. Trading was at heavy
pace.
Resistance is Shown
Stocks showed resistance around
the lows and recovered a coed
part of their losses at the end
of the first hour. but the under.
tone, was nervous and trading
was dull on the advance.
Strength in the New York city
fractions. which rose to 2
points. helped bring about the
upturn. The advance in the
group followed reports that
bankers would seek to get the
city to raise subway fares here
in drive for added revenues.
Sterling led the rise against
the dollar, squirting nearly 4
cents to a new high for the year.
French, Swiss and other CONT
mental currencies added further
gains to Saturdays advance.
Wheat was lower despite a
fresh increase in the French
grain import quota. Other COM
modities we're mixed.
The curb market was unset
tied. with prices lower. Bank
stocks lost l to 10 points.
Fear Transfer Tax
Contributing to the nervousness
In speculative circles was the pro-
posal of the House insurgents to
raise stock transfer taxes to one
quarter of per cent on regu-
lar transactions and double this
on short sales.
Bonds showed a dull and ner-
vous tone. Governments were an
exception, working higher on buy
ing attributed to switching from
other securities to the tax ex-
empt privilege, reflecting the
"soak the rich" movement in the
House.
