prices, after a midday firmness,
started easing down under leader
ship Of rail shares. Towards the
close, however, this activity died
down and some issues started firm
ing up.
Uncertainty over the monetary
situation overbalanced favorable
trade reports, a declaration of
regular dividend by the American
telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, and some special dividend
announcements. Traders, for the
most part, preferred sideline posi-
tions and the markets staggered
under lack of participation.
The pound sterling advanced to
$5.42 and the French franc also
jumped in relation to the dollar.
This came after the dollar had
strengthened at mid-morning.
But the dollar weakness brought
no strength into the various mar
kets. Grains were lower with

the opening. This gave way to a
mid-session show of strength. Then
the market shot down with losses
| as much as points under fairly
active trading. Towards the close
prices started firming up again
with some issues climbing above
their previous close.
Utilities and rails were easier.
Consolidated Gas hit new 1888

around 25A while Chesapeake and
Ohio lost fractionally to around
39ss.
Oils had brief period of activity
in theafternoon under the stimulus
Of Socony Vacuum which came out
| in big blocks ranging to $4,000
shares. This issue made only a.
| fractional gain. Standard Oil of
| New Jersey advanced almost a.
point to around IS while other oil
issues were better. Some oil help
came from declaration of a so
cents dividend by Standard Oil of
Kansas, the first dividend of the
company since 1881.

Washington early today, prepared
to take full advantage of the gov
ernment's newly conceived unem-
rloyment relief plan by which
President Roosevelt hopes to put
100000 men back at work this
winter. Immediate steps to relieve
the city's unemployment problem
was one of the emphasized points
of the socialist mayors campaign
for election.
Bridgeport, he said, has three
important projects which can be
carried to fulfillment either by out
right grants or federal aid.
Retaining of 173 acres of mos
quito infested marshland. he said
is provided for under the civil
works administration plan. This
reclamation work, he added, would
put many jobless back to work here
at 80 hours week, SO cents an
hour. Work in the city's many pub
lie parks would afford another
source of relief, and McLevy said
he intended to confer today with
Major Philip Fleming, NRA depu-
ty public works director, concern
ing construction of a branch sewer
system with federal aid, at a cost
of $171, 900. A city-wide street paw
ing program also is pending and
an application for federal aid for
it's commencement is now on file at
Washington.
McLevy and three other admin
istration officers, elected from the
socialist party late yesterday signed
waivers turning over to the city
welfare relief fund, approximately
20 per cent of their annual salaries.
The amount involves approximate
ly $4,000.

robes in a hallway of the Second

out for youngsters missing from
their homes.
The robes have been identified
as those stolen from various auto
mobiles parked on West Main
street and In the vicinity of the
Elton. Autoists who have reported
the disappearance of the robes will
most likely be pleased to learn that

questioning them learned that they
had been sleeping there. The
youngsters were taken to their
