lists during June in the office of the assessors. This law has been in effect for a long period of years. Many persons failed to sign their lists, because they were expecting foreclosure and therefore, were not interested in the added penalty of 10 pr cent on the valuation which the state law demands. The bur- den, therefore, fell back on the holders of the mortgages when they were obliged to foreclose and take possession of the various pieces of property.
 The state legislature of 1881 passed an act giving the holders of mortgages on property the right to sign the lists in the event of the failure of title holders to comply with the state law.
 Many Inquiries Made
 Therefore, between July 1st and 10th the mortgages are inquiring as to whether their borrowers have signed up. When they re- ceive information as to whether or not the title holders have signed up they are taking the necessary

Judge Gormley Gives
 Endorsement OfDyer
Norfolk Candidate for Congress Formally Opens Can-
 paign in AnsOnia-Third Candidate Tinted

William Dyer of Norfolk, one of the candidates for the nomination of congressman in the fifth con- gresMonal district, formally launch ed his campaign in the Naugatuck valley last evening in Ansonia. Two weeks ago Major J. Joseph Smith of this city, also candidate for the nomination, attended gathering of democrats in Ansonia. Therefore, both men are following close on one another's heels and the race from all indications promises to be an interesting one.
 One feature of last nights meet ing was the practical endorsement of MT Dyer by Judge Martin B. Gormley of Naugatuck, the candi- date who vase defeated two years ago by a very small margin.
 Kieley Presides
 Among those present at the ses- sion aside from MT Dyer and Judge Gormley were Deputy Mo- tor Vehicle Commissioner Francis Hogan of Torrington, Judge Fred erick Mccarthy, democratic town chairman of Ansonia, Former May or Michael Cook, now postmaster of Ansonia, and Factory Inspector Hugh Burns of Naugatuck.
 Representative John P. Kieley presided at the gathering. It was through his efforts that Major Smith visited Ansonia two weeks
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-07-06

ago and he was also responsible for last nights gathering. MT Kieley is attached to the local of- fee of the state motor vehicle de- partment. He explained that he was not interested in whether Major Smith or MT Dyer gets the nomina- tion. He declared that it is his object to have democrat go to Washington from the fifth district.
 Gormley Not a Candidate
 Judge Gormley declared em- phatically that he is out of the race for the congressional nomination. He added that he appreciated all MT Dyer did for him in his two campaigns for election in the fifth district. While not asking those present outright to support MT Dyer, he said he would appreciate what anyone does for his friend from Norfolk. Those present at the meeting took his statement to be an endorsement if MT Dyer.
 Ex-Mayor Cook declared that it is time Litchfield county was giv- en the privilege of running a man for congress on the democratic ticket. He said that in his opinion a Litchfield county man would make a very good run this year.
 Upstate Seeks Recognition
 Judge Mccarthy said that he is of the opinion that MT Dyer has Litchfield county lined up pretty we'll as far as the nomination is concerned. He warned, though, that there will possibly be another can didate from the Naugatuck valley end of the district. The judge. him. self, is being mentioned as pos- sible darkhorse in the event of a deadlock between Smith and Dyer at the congressional convention.
 MT Dyer and Deputy Commits sioner Hogan declared that Litch- field county is deserving of the honor of nominating a candidate for congress this year and urged support of the Norfolk man.

Holders of mortgages on local property are taking advantage to a considerable degree this year of the new state law which gives them the right to sign lists in the office of the city assessors which have suffered from neglect at the hands of the actual title holders, it was learned to-day. So far almost 75 mortgages have visited the of- flee of the assessors and have signed the lists neglected by the title holders.

Grains held to a narrow but gen.

Of prices in quiet forenoon deal

Bullish weather reports and
the announcement of the Admin
istration'S 1885 crop curtailment
program stimulated scattered buy
ing in the market. Offerings
were only moderate. Switching
into the deferred deliveries be-
cause of the proximity of deliv-
cry time continued.
Near noon, wheat was 1sc down
to 1sc up, corn 1sc to 3sc up,
oats unchanged to 1sc up, and
rye unchanged to 14c up.
Foreign markets were mixed.
Liverpool was 1s pence higher in
late trading, Winnipeg unchanged
near midsession. Rotterdam closed
3sc to 7sc lower. while Buenos
Aires opened 3sc to 12c up.
Extremely cold weather pre-
vailed in the Northwest, both
sides of the Canadian border,
and frost was reported in many
parts of the spring wheat terri
tory. The drop in temperatures,
traders believed, is expected to
injure the crops in the northern
part of the Canadian grain belt,
which are still susceptible to
weather conditions.
The price of corn at some
points in Oklahoma was reported
quoted higher than the price of
wheat, reflecting the increased
demand for the feed grain in the
drought stricken areas.
Estimated carlots: Wheat, 43;
corn, 203, and oats, 20.

OIL FIRMS BUY
MORE STEEL

Oil companies are showing
more interest in steel than they
have in a long while. Although
orders and inquiries are not for
substantial tonnages, the qualities
involved are larger than in many
months.
The Standard Oil Company of
California has placed orders for
1900 tons of 16, 18 and 22-inch
steel pipes with the National Tube
Company, subsidiary of the U.
S. Steel Corpor sion, and $50
tons of 12A-inch with the Pitts
burgh Steel Company. That oil
company also is inquiring for
from $500 to 4,800 tons of steel
plates for IL tanks in California,
and for 1900 tons of plates for
a 500,000-barrel storage tank at
Richmond, Cal.
The Richfield Oil Corporation
has given a contract for nine
tanks in New York and Rhode
Island to the Chicago Bridge and
Iron Works, which will take about
1,200 tons of steel plates.
An inquiry is in the market
for 5000 tons of plates for stor-
age tanks in the West Indies for

COTTON PRICES
SHADE EASIER

NEW YORK, Aug. "a d.NS.0.
The cotton market ruled a shade
easier through today.
The contracts list showed initial
losses of from 2 to 8 points, re-
flecting Liverpool cables that were
slightly below due prices. Light
hedge sales and offerings by spot
houses and the South were only
partially offset by trade buying. A
few scattered purchases came into
the ring through commission
houses, Wall Street and wire
firms, but speculative interest on
either side of the market was
lacking.
The weather map reported that
scattered rains had fallen in the
cotton belt, including both Okla
homa and Texas. The belief was
expressed among experienced crop
observers that the Western belt
drought was about to be ended.
Prospects for a marked crop re-
covery, even with ample rains,
were not considered good in the
weekly cotton condition report Of
the Dallas News. It was said that
while moisture would fill out many
undersized bolls and check the cur
rent premature opening, possibly
making fair top crop in some
sections, no appreciable yield in
crease was thought likely
Late in the forenoon, october
showed a loss of 2 points at 1922,
December was off 3 at 1885,
March off 3 at 1882 and May off
4 at 1851.
