 New York. Oct 31.-(UP).-Un- certainty over the present world monetary situation. accentuated by the American policy of managed" gold and a plan of gold purchases in the world market, brought ragged trading to the stock market today.
 Trading was almost at mini mum. Price f1uctuation swere so. narrow that establishment of a trend was almost impossible. Big. and little traders alike sought the sidelines to await further develop ments before re-entering the arena.
 There were several factors which ordinarily might hay brought some tone to the market. but these were ignored. Among such were an easier tone in the dollar, an in- creased price for gold to $32.12, settlement of the argument over the price for~ steel rails and sev- eral business reports.
 There was nothing that would rouse traders until Monetary prob lems take some clearer form. This same situation prevailed in the markets although wheat took q late skid in Chicago. closing as much as cents a bushel lower.
 The stock market tirifted, first down, and then up. Towards the close the prices again were sagging with losses extending to 3 points. Earlier gains had reached that fig ure.
 There was no particular weak ness, with possible exception of the tobacco shares which were liquid- ated in many instances as tired longs felt the price too high. Lig- gett and Myers showed 3-S points loss to S2 1-2 near the close while American Tobacco was off 1 at II, although advanced somewhat over the low.
 Near the close United States steel was off 1-S to g. 3-4 after hit ting a now of 36 3-S and a high of 37 S-4. American Telephone was off 1-S at Iii 71S- after a low of 110 5-S and high of 112 1-S.

 Harvester shares. which leape1 on imitation talk last week, were irregular. J. I. Case and Deere and Company had fractional losses. In- ternational Harvester near the close had an advance of more than g. point.
 Oils showed declines ranging to almost point while utilities eased more than a point. Public Service of New Jersey showed Ia loss to 35 1-S. Chrysler and General Mo- tors led their division with frac- tional declines.
 Repeal stocks had about the widest range. National Distillers to- wards the close was around S7 for a fractional gain. U. s. Industrial Alcohol was unchanged at s62 while American Commercial Alcohol was fractionaily lower around 47 1-4.

 Among Dept. Heads
New England Council Seeks Data on Employment and
 Labor Relations Under 'New Deal"

Boston, oct. s1.-To get the facts as to the effect of the Ma tionaI Recovery Act on New Eng land industry, the New England Council and the National Confer ence Board are now making an .in- tensive survey among New Eng land manufacturers, to develop in formation regarding employment, production, sales, labor relations, and credit policies under the New Deal" the New England Council announced here today. The results of the survey, which will be conn piled by the Industrial Conference Board, will be presehted to those attending the ninth New England Conference, to be held at Hotel Statler, Boston. November 2S and "A, by Virgil Jordan, president Of the conference board,
 In describing the purpose of the survey, Winthrop l.. Carter or Nashua, N. H. chairman of the in- dustrial committee of the council, today explained that the inquiry will serve as a neutral and non- political appraisal of the effects or the National Industrial Recovery Act on industry in New England" The survey, he emphasized, is in no way associated with the Nation al Recovery Administration or with any other governmental agency.
 eve believe that this survey will make available to New England in- dustry vital data not now available through any government or private source." MT Carter, who president of the Nashua Gummed and Coated Paper company, said. Ut Is the first and only inquiry of its kind in the United States, and Is not In con- fiict with nor does 1t duplicate any other inquiry, or the work or any trade association. Its results Will give new and valuable information, and will form the basis for an ac- curate appraisal of results upon which can be based constructive recommendations for improving the act, or, if the act as 1t stands seems to be working satisfactorily, this fact will be established for the pur- pose of helping resist any proposed radical changes"
 Individual inquiry is being made by the council among several hum dred representative manufacturers throughout the six New England states. The information furnished by the individual firm will be kept strictly confidential by the confer ence board. No individual results will be made public. The study is being welcomed by manufacturers. judging by comments now reaching the New England council. Indus- trialists are apparently anxious to contribute to this impartial, non- political study of the effects of the recovery act.
 President Jordan of the Indus- trial Conference Board will be one of the feature speakers at the ninth New England conference. He will address the industrial session on Friday morning, November 25. Registration to attend the confer ence is open to all interested busi- ness men, public officials, and oth- CTS.

 The income tax phase of the in- quiry was interrupted at midday by discovery of $12,200,109.14 prof. it which Wiggin had not revealed to committee investigators during the examination of records prelim- mary to the current cross examin- atioh.
 The profit was shared by Wig gins Sherman Corporation, Harry r. Sinclair, Arthur w. Cuttcn, Blair and Company, and the Chase Securities Corporation.
 Nothing was given to us in- cluding this underwriting, Ferdin- and Pecora, committee counsel, complained to Martin Conboy, Wiggin's lawyer.
 T don't know why" Conboy re- piled, "but we will get 1t for you immediately"
 The underwriting venture was in common stock of the Sinclair Con- solidated oil Corporation. Wiggin's Sherman Corporation made about $S77.000 in the deal. Sinclair made about $3,65O,000.

 II never knew of this" Aldrich told questioners when asked about the associations of other Chase of- ficials in Wiggin's personal cor. porations.
 When he learned last Friday of some of Wiggin's methods. Aldrich strode to the committee table and denounced them. Pecora was pounding at Wig gins definition of the trading ac- tivities, when the oil account was | revealed.
 "All right" the lawyer said, "I'll ask you about one of them-an ac- count in the spring of 1929 in com mon stock of the Sinclair Consoli- dated oil corporation. Do you have any recollection of that account?" "I recall 1t but 1t Is vague" Wig gin said.
 Do you recall that the pYofits in that account to your Sherman corporation were in the neighbor- hood of $S77,000?" Pecora asked.
 Wiggin was not sure he said.
 The account dealt in 1,130,000 shares and the other participants were Cutten, famous Chicago wheat pit operator, Sinclair, oil magnate. Blair & Co.,, and the Chase Securi- ties corporation.
 MT Cutten was the manager of the account" Wiggin said.
