Market Absorbs Heavy Profit
Taking; Cotton Receivers

. NEW YORK, Aug. 9
'0N.S.). 1.-THE stock market
lost some of its recent exuber-
ance today under the heaviest
profit-taking it has been forced
to absorb since the current re-
covery got under way.
The bullish forces still re-
tanned a firm grip, however.
Weakness in wheat was re-
sponsible for a good deal of the
selling in securities. Offsetting
factors were cotton's recovery of
81 a bale initial loss and the firm
tone in other commodities. A
further prop was the expectation
that bankers would announce
their commodities stabiliation
plan today or tomorrow.
Trading Slower
Trading, while still fast and
furious. was at slower pace than
the wild sessions of the last two
days. Turnover for the first two
hours was 100000 shares.
Utilities were the days out,
standing issues. especially the low
priced group. BulliSh operations
took place in the Electric Bond
and Share group and the COM
panies identified with United Cor
poration. Under heavy buying
these stocks rose from to 2
points. Consolidated Gas was
strong in the upper brackets.
AS soon as the utilities lost their
momentum, the bulls jumped into
the New York city fractions.
which jumped sharply under
heavy buying. B. M. T. spurted
about 3 points.
Steel Under Pressure
The low,proced rails were taken
in hand early in the day and
were used to wipe out the opening
reactions. Gains were about l
point each, but the group turned
dull later.
Steel common and preferred
were under pressure most of the
day due to forecasts of an un-
filled tonnage decline for July in

ephone was strong but lacked it's
recent buoyancy.
Food shares came in for belated
recognition and scored sizeable
gains. Alcohol stocks tended up

''We found no trace of gas in
the child'S body. The baby was
suffering from gastrO-enteritis.

brought here. The parents claim
this was caused by gas fumes

and we have therefore ordered
a cOrOner'S investigation"

hospital by its 29-yearold mother,
Gertrude, the morning following

their families from Anacostia by

The tiny infant, weighing but

hamlet early today, presumably
for Cincinnati.
A young blond man appeared
in the lobby of the former
blues singers hotel at 2:3O

llonaire playboy was bound for
her childhood home in Cincinnati

Fingerprints Taken
Before Libby was released her
finger prints were taken.
Finger prints of all those who
attended the party which cul-
minated so tragically in the death
of young Reynolds had previously
been recorded, but those of the
widow were blurred and in.

Deputy Sheriff Guy Scott asked
Miss Holman if she would object
to having her prints retaken and
she acquiesced on the advice of
her counsel. They were recorded
by Arthur G. Simpson, local
finger print expert.
1t is expected that the bloody
prints found on a door knob in
the Reynolds house will be intro
duced in the trial of Mrs. Rey-
nolds and Alb Walker.

In as strange a court room
scene as ever was enacted in
American legal lore, the diminu-

leased under $4,000 bail on a
habeas corpus proceeding.
The hearing on the writ took
place in the court house at the
tiny hamlet of Wentworth, where
a good tobacco crop is about the
most exciting event that ever oc.
ours.
The agricultural town in the
foothills of the Blue Ridge Noun
tains has a population of 300 per
sons. The population crowded
around the black-shrouded fig

 If my three old reliableS, Grove, Earnshaw and Walberg, can do nearly as well as they did last year when they won close to 70 games for us, we should do pret- ty well again. he told me.
 Even if they do not we have some younger men who may come through when needed. Mahaffey is young and very promising. He pitched good ball last year.
 "Krausse has the form and ev- erything required to make 8 good pitcher, except experience and some weight. It is just a question when he will come through. Bowman is doing very well and So is Cain. Ed Ronmel is reliable man. AL together I plan to keep about nine pitchers.
