". Y. Stocks
BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, Feb. 6. U.P) - A
spurt of las to 11a cents a bushel
in wheat today helped bring a re-
covery on the stock exchange after
an early decline brought the indus
trial and utility averages into new
. low ground for the year.
Before the close losses in nearly
all sections were turned into gains
Gold mining shares again moved
contrary to the main trend. They
rose in the morning when other
stocks were declining and declined
later when the others advanced.
Strength in wheat and other
grains offset to great extent weak
ness in the American dollar. The
feature in foreign exchange tram
sactions was squirt of cents in
the pound sterling which touched
$3.44.
The advance in sterling brought
it back around the levels of a year
ago.
During the early trading in stocks
some pressure was noted in issues
whose dividends are subject to early
action. General Motors was steady
at IL in advance of the directors
meeting this afternoon. 1t closed
at 1917, up y for the day. Ameri-
can Telephone touched 98h, off 115,
and closed at 98B, off " for the
day. ~
Pressure lifted from United States
Steel corporation issues. The COM
mon closed at 267s, upk. @
Sales totaled $4,000 shares,
against 906,671 Friday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages:
Industrial 5807, up 0.52; railroad
279O, up O.O6, and utility PATS, un-
changed.
Aggregate value of 10 leading
stocks was $5,O61, ,895 SIT, against
$5,042, ,18l, ,497 Saturday, an increase
of SIS, 9,714,020. ....

So many people are borrowing
and never returning them, it is
time to call everyone's attention
to it. A student is given a pencil
once a month and when it is gone,
should bring one from home. Pen
ellis are peoples property and are
the same as a bicycle. You wouldn t
take a bicycle and never return it,
SO the same with pencils. Once
you borrow anything you get into
the habit of doing this all the time.
So do not develop such a habit and
you will always be all right.-Jean
Malan, SAB. ..
