DRAPER AVENUE WOMAN HAD HER
 PURSE STOLEN
Taken Yesterday But Toe day the Thief Sent Back
 Two Checks

Mrs Marcella Achas of 63 Dra- her avenue had her purse snatched from her hand late yesterday af- ternoon as she walked through Chase Park.
 This morning Mrs Achas re- ceived letter through the mail. It contained the two checks which disappeared with her purse yes- terday.
 A report of the incident was filed with the police shortly after the incident in Chase Park about 5:15 o'clock yes- rrday afternoon. Mrs Achas stated that she was talk ing a short cut to her home and as she passed a strange man on one of the 1ths he seized her purse and ran. She did not obtain a very good description of him, she stated. Apparently, however. the stranger knew her and returned the checks without attempting to cash them. They totaled less than $20.
 Mrs Achas informed the author ities today of the unexpected re- turn of the checks.

Health Officer of City Will Recommend Complete
 New System

Drastic changes in the method of garbage collection are expected to be adopted in Waterbury soon Health Officer Dr E. J.

Fotation Of Bonds Can Be Accon,plished
Bankers and Bond Experts Say Roosevelt $lO,OOO,- OOOOOO Can Be Secured Without the
 Least Difficulty
By ELMER C. WALZER

New York, Jan. 4-UP)-Flo- tation of $10,000, 100000 of United States goernment bonds as out lined by President Roosevelt in his budget message can be accomplish ed without serious difficulty, bank CTS and bond experts agreed to- day.
 The gigantic operation by the government between now and July 1 would involve issuing $6,- 900, 100000 in new money and $4, 900, 100000 to pay off maturing obligations. It would be the larg- est financing operation since the World War and one of the largest in financial history.
 Probably, the course adopted would be coordination of the treasury and federal reserve sys- tenn in selling the bonds, it was said here. The reserve probably would invest in billion dollars of governments swelling reserve cred it by $10,000,000,00O and thus making easy absorption of the new bonds by member banks.
 Wall street saw in the operation the possibility of imitation in two ways:
 CD Imitation of credit by the federal reserve through purchase of government issues.
 CD Imitation of currency through operation of the law passed in the bank holiday period of 1893 which permits the federal reserve to is- sue federal reserve bank notes dol lar for dollar on United States obligations.
 It was pointed out that there are billions of dollars seeking invest ment now and the government probably would have no difficulty obtaining purchases among in- vestors as well as banks; hence, the second imitation possibility would be diminished.
 Should business increase very rapidly in the immediate future, it was said. the government might experience difficulty, as investors would place their funds in the more lucrative industrial com panies. However, there is little possibility of broad Notation of in- railroad or utility securi-

TREASURY SENDS IN STANDING OF
 U. 5. FINANCES
Over Seven Billions Debt At End of the Fiscal
 Year
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY

~. 5. F1nancf0l COrrcSpOndcnt) [ Washington, Jan 4-(UP)--A $6,631,239,711 federal deficit, later raised to $7309,O6S,211 by Presi dent Roosevelt in his budget mes- sage, was reported by the treasury department today for, the current fiscal year ending June 30. 1894.
 The treasury figures were based on the same bureau of budget es- inmates used by the president but did not include $1,166,0OO.O 900 Emergency" item added by MT Roosevelt. This was offset partly by the exclusion from the 1884 fis- cal year budget by the president of S48S,171,500 of public debt retire. ments.
 The treasury report also failed to take into consideration a $2,- 000,000.000 new emergency item added by the president for the 1934-35 budget which accounted for the lower public debt estimates in the treasury report compared with the presidents message.
 The current years deticit estim- ate was the largest in peace time history. It was exceeded only in the war years 1918 and 1919, when billions of dollars were needed to carry on military operations. In 1918. the federal government went ''in the. red" to the extent of $9,033,e54,000 and in the following year expenditures exceeded income by $13,370,638,O0O.

STOCKS BEAT TIME
At END Of WEEK.
Demand Still Is SeIective
as Wall Street Awaits
Trade Reports.

BY FREDERICK GARDNER,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, December 1.-Specu-
iation proceeded at the usual leisurely
weekend pace in stocks today and
the market prolonged its stay in the
narrow range it settled into early in
the week.
Grains diverted attention from the
share list as corn spurted for further
net advances of 21s to 27s cents a
bushel. Wheat closed Is to liz cents
higher and gains in rye, oats and
barley ranged up to about 3 cents a
bushel
After the sustained November ad-
vance, security markets were content
to rest on their laurels while Wall
Street waited for business to demon
etrate its recovery stamina.
Demand for stocks continued Selec-
tive. 1t flowed mainly into industrial
specialties and preferred shares Offer
ing attractive yields or dividend pros
poets. The customary leaders on the
list drifted quietly.
Although December trade possiblll-
ties evoked cheerful comments from
various quarters, brokers pointed out
that many industrial shares had moved
up substantially last month. inviting
profit taking by traders and more eau
ton among outright buyers.
The arrival Of December turned
speculative attention to liquor, amuse-
ment and other groups which usually
benefit from Christmas spending.
But nothing more than flurrieS OF
buying developed in those groups.
Small gains and losses were about
evenly divided among the more active
issues at the close.
Steel shares yielded part of their
previous gains. United States Steel
preferred dipped points on few
transfers. American Rolling Mill,
Bethlehem, youngstown Sheet &
Tube, Republic and United States
Steel common eaSed.
Among the liquor stocks, National
Distillers, Schenley and American
Commercial Alcohol closed with gains
ranging up to about point. Motors
held their ground, Chrysler and Gen
eral Motors finishing unchanged.
Rails looked up, with Santa Fe, New
York Central and Pennsylvania max
ing trihing gains.
Some preferred stocks with thin
markets rose as much as 3 or points,
notably Remington Rand first and
second preferreds, Universal Pictures
and Barker Bros Warner Bros. Pic
lures preferred, 10-share unit,
jumped about 6 points.
Transfers totaled 469,l90 shares
compared with 671,990 last Saturday
The Standard Statistics Co. average
for 80 stocks sagged one-tenth of
point TO ISL, having moved within a
range of about a point all week.
