GAINS IN EARLY
CURB TRADING
CANCELLED
BY THEODORE KOsLOW


NEW YORK, Feb. 18 GNS0.
The curb market continued to
display a nervous undertone
through today's abbreviated ses-
sion.
Gains through the forepart of
the session were largely cam
celled by a renewal of scattered
liquidation in the final minutes
Of trading.
Standoff In Utilities
Price changes in the utility
group were more or less at a
standoff, although quiet firm
ness was the rule. Edison was a
1aggard, declining a point to a
new low for the year at Ct. Long
Island Lighting preferred created
somewhat of a furore with a A.
point run-up to 79, but it gave
up most of this.
Novadel Agene stood out in the
speciality section with an ad-
vance of 11s points to 437s. Brllo
manufacturing led the low-priced
issues with a gain of 70 to a new
1928 high at 9A.
The Cities Service issues stead
led after period of irregularity.
Oils a TrifIe Better
Oils did a trifle better, with
slight gains chalked up in Stand
ard of Indiana and Standard of
Kentucky. Investment trusts
marked time.
The bond section continued to
show a heavy undertone, with
Electric Power and Light IS car
ried to new 1888 low at 34A,
off more than a point.

the essential facts
AS he talked 1t occurred to Ban
mister as curious indeed that a girl
like Denise Lang could be asso-
ciated with anyone who was
friend OF AL Druga1. Drugan had
called Tracy King "the best pal a
fellow ever had" and indicated
that their friendship was OF long
standing. But Drugan and this girl
with the golden curls did not speak
the same language. They lived In
different worlds. How had Tracy
King climbed from the life Drugan
had described to Denise Lang's ex'
elusive circle?

Bannister thought, "If only I'd
seen King just once while he was
alive"
He hadn't seen him and there
was nothing to be done about u.
