NEW YORK, April 26 G.N.SD. T..
The stock market today returned
nearer to normalcy than at any
time since the boom started a
week ago.
The list was forced to absorb
further heavy profit-taking, which
sent leaders down from fractions
to 2 points at the opening. The
bulls brought rally by their old
tactics of rotating leadership,
bringing the aviation issues for
ward and then switching to the
utilities and rails.
A number of leaders, however,
failed to make any particular
progress, particularly Allied Chem
ical, Steel common and preferred,
and Du Pont.
Sentiment was cheered by an
optimistic statement by Premier
Macdonald on the Washington
conferences.
Commodities were weak in the
early dealings but rallied later
under the leadership of wheat.
Bonds were firm with Govern
ments pointing higher. The dollar
rallied sharply.

A fierce trade war between the
United States and England was
forecast in the Senate today by
Senator Reed (RD of Pennsyl-
vania in a new attack on the Ad-

bill unless the two nations agree
on stabilized monetary eX-
change.
Reed declared the action of the
British government in seeking an
increase in the British monetary
stabilization fund indicated a
money war between the two ma
tions.
British Fund Cited
The Stabilization fund has been
used by the British for two years
in holding down the value of the
British pound while boosting the
American dollar, so British goods
could undersell American goods
throughout the world, he said.
Senator Robinson, the Demo-
cratic floor leader, asked Reed
what he thought about an agree
ment stabilizing the British pound
at from $3.50 to $375. The Brit
iSh delegation, headed by Premier
j. Ramsay Macdonald, was re-
ported willing to accept stabiliZa-
tion at this figure. Reed replied:
"That would be wonderful"
