MONEY FOR THE
 FREE MILK FUND
Amount Received to Date Far BelOW.That of Last
 Year
|DR GODFREY HOPEFUL

Contributions to the free school milk fund are far behind what they were a year ago this time. Figures on file at the office of Health Off, ficer Dr E. J. Godfrey in the City Hall today. showed $155.53 re- ceived to date as compared with $550, the total of October 17th, 1881.
 Dr Godfrey, however, was confi- dent that while the response to date has been comparatively small, the showing will begin to be bet ter as the drive for the fund con- tinues.
 The latest contributions to the fund include: Emily F. Kellogg. $25; A teacher, $5; A Friend, $5; A Friend of the Children, $2: Pastor Admerabilis, $10; Mrs George M. Smith, $10.
 The distribution of the milk among the needy school children has already been started. Much good is resulting from the assist ance and aid being given these youngsters of the city by the peo- pie, Dr Godfrey stated when talked with today. While only $155.53 has been received to date, he ex- plained, he is sure that as the drive progresses the balance on the books kept on the fund will rach, if not surpass, tn figeteetaoinuu if not surpass, the figure reached last year.
 This years quota is $10.00O, the same as that of last year. The amount realized last year was on- ly a few hundred dollars short of the quota.

 RENEWED GAINS
Better Than SeasOnable Rise Seen in 57 Per Cent
 Gain Since July

New York, Oct. 8-Greater than seasonal improvement in textile production and sales that began in August continued throughout Sep tember and gives promise of gain ing momentum as activity reaches it's customary mid-winter peak, ac- cording to an analysis of the in dustry's outlook. At least 5O,0OO mill hands have been recalled by cotton good manufacturers, it is es- timated ,and in spite of resumption of 24-hour operation in many tex tile centers stocks of finished goods at the end of last month decreased considerably below the abnormally low August 31 figures.
 From the low point of July cot ton goods production has increased about 57 per cent, September out put having gained about 22 per cent over August, which recorded an improvement of 28 per cent over July, the firm points out. The analysis continues:
 "Production has rapidly in- creased in cotton goods, woolens and rayons since the summer lull as a result of the unexpected ex- mansion in consumer demand, which found supplies of finished goods almost non-existant. Im- provement occurred about evenly in all branches of cotton goods and in about the same ratios in the south as in New England.
 "In cotton goods the sharp rise in production recorded in August was almost duplicated last month, preliminary trade figures indicate. Weekly output of carded cotton cloths in September approximated 55,000,000 yards. compared with 45,195.000 in August and with 35.- 418,000 in July, the low point for the last twenty years:

 Prices were driven down to points before meager support was encountered. They closed above the lows.
 The session was marked by a series of fuctuating movements. A sharp decline early in the first hour was halted when a favorable car loadings report was issued. That report for the week ended Oc- tober l showed an increase of &c., far greater than had been antici- pated.
 Effect of the loadings report was offset later when the government cotton estimate was issued. A crop of ll,42s,OO0 bales was predicted, agafnst 11,310,000 bales estimated as of September 1. The trade had expected a crop of around 11,000,- 900 and disappointed traders im- mediately dumped their holdings on the market with the result price broke more than $2 a bale.
 About the time the cotton re- port was published, wheat crashed more than a cent bushel to new seasonal lows. That break together with the weakness in cotton brought another reaction down. ward in the stock market. Another rally followed, however. but prices slipped back again before the close.
 Prices on the bond market also declined and this also had an ad- verse effect on stocks.

Death Gun Found
 In Turnpike Lot

The .45 ealibre revolver used in the fatal shooting of Wilfred Tetreault of Attleboro in an at- tempted holdup of PauIs service station on the evening of Septem- Der 17th, has been found. The gun was wrestled from the hand of George Sunderland after he had wounded Tetreault by the latter's pal, Leo Campbell. In escaping from the scene of crime Campbell hurled the gun out of his car. It was picked up Wednesday after noon by William Kenney, 17, of Buekland street, Southington, and turned over to Chief Geary of the police department of that town. It is expected to be returned to its owner within few days. Sunder- land, who was arrested on the technical charge of murder follow ing the shooting, has been form ally exonerated and his case nolled.

New York, oct s--(UP)-A su- preme court order restraining s W. straus 6 Co.,. from further sale of securities unless true represen- tation of the stock is made, and placing the concern in temporary receivership was effective to-day.
 The Strauss company in it's more than 50 years history was said to have sold more than a billion dol- lars worth of bonds throughout the United Staets.

 Roberts, president of 8. W. Straus & Co, Inc, issued a state- ment last night saying that holders of bonds underwritten by the firm should not be alarmed. He ap- pealed to them mot to sacrifice their holdings at less than their real value."
 He explained that the practices complained of by the state were employed by s. W. Straus & Co, and were discontinued voluntarily more than IS months ago.
 -The case" Roberts said, twill be promptly and vigorously ap- pealed. My associates and I are confident that on appeal the action of the court will be reversed"

MARKET RECOVERY FOLLOWS
CLOSELY UPON PRECEDENTS

commodities began to strengthen slowly
and have shown an average recovery
in each Of the last five weeks. We have,
therefore, this year, as in 1921, first ar
improvement in bonds and then one in
commodities. with the next step a rise
in stocks-but not until stocks had
touched what appears to have been
their ultimate low level in the first week
Of July.
The only point at variance between
the two depression periods is in the We
locity of the forward movement in
stocks and in the length of this re-
covery phase in speculative and invest
ment markets. It is this feature that
appears artificial to many observers.
who cannot adjust their minds to the
abrupt change that has occurred in less
than six weeks in the entire range of
stock prices.
When the speculative public takes
the bit in its teeth" no one in Wall
Street is wise enough to predict how
far and how long it may run away with
a stock market that has definitely
turned and is no longer affected by
fears and defeatist philosophy.

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, August 20-If the
markets of the past are studied and
illnesses are analyZed, it will be found
that they have acted very much as
those of today, except for the violence
Of the present upward movement in
stocks
In the last depression, that Of 1920
81, the change in sentiment was first
reflected in the bond market. Then
it became apparent in commodities
and, finally, the definiteness Of the
turn was registered in slowly rising
prices for stocks. In these three
groups, however, the transition then
was a slower one in bonds and in
stocks than it has been this year. Not
for months after it appeared were
there markets are approximated those
of last week and of today, which are
without precedent in this stage Of q
financial recovery.
The first sign of improvement in the
market for securities came early in
June after the bond pool was formed
Out of situation that had been char
acterized by lack Of bids for numer-
GUS low-grade as we'll as well as high
grade issues there developed a resist
ance to selling pressure and then the
beginning Of positive demand for the
same securities that no one wanted a
short time before. For nearly two and
one-half months bonds have been ris-
ing. The average recovery today
amounts to IS points from the low
level of the Spring. There appears
to be no abatement in the bond de-
mand.
A factor in this situation is the So
called technical condition of the mar
ket. 1t is literally bare Of supplies.
Less new financing has been done in
the past IL months than in many
years. The records of new capital
issues since January l show the amount
offered has been only s770, 100000 COM
pared with an average for the same
period in the years 1928-1931 of $780,
100000, or drop of about 80 per
cent. OF this $770, 1000, 900 no less than
$500, ,000,0 900 represented loans to mu-
inequalities and States and only S222,-
100000 to corporations, and most of
this for the account of public utilities.
Even municipal loans, which have been
relatively large, were 40 per cent less
for the first seven months of 1882
than in the corresponding period Of the
prececlng 1Our years.
This would explain some part Of the
recovery in bonds, though the low mar
ket values reached last May was the
main element in attracting investors to
them. A parallel condition is to be
found in stocks, of which practically
no new issues have been created the
past two and one-half years. With the
enormous amount of cash buying that
has been taking place for over a year,
and which is reflected in substantial
gains in the number of shareholders of
all important corporations, the floating
supply of stocks at the present time is
unusually small.
The rise in commodities this year CO.
incided in time to that of 1921 and fol-
lowed the beginning of an advance in
bonds. After a period of apparent
stabiliZation around the middle of June
