WASHINGTON, May IS. CUP
The house yesterday nailed down
the coffin lid on labor and cur
rency initiation legislation.
Adjournment over the week
end came with petitioners failing
to muster enough names to force
votes on three bills opposed by
the administration. This was the
last day to complete peaitiOns for
votes on May %.
Sponsors of the bills still can
try for a vote June II, but by
then the administration hopes to
have congress homeward bound or
so near adjournment that Presi-
dent Roosevelt could kill such leg
islation with a pocket veto.
Still fighting in the face Of
these odds, the 30-hour week
sponsor, Rep. William P. Connery
3D., Mass.) announced he would
offer a new petition Monday ~
hopes of getting vote in June,
not on his own bill, but on the
Black 30-hour bill that the senate
passed last session. House ap-
prevail of that bill would send it
to the White House without fur
Their action.
Each of the petitions that failed
yesterday need las names. Here
is how they stood Thursday night:

Sharp Gain h Bank Deposits or The West
Twelfth Reserve District Reports an Per Cent
 Increase in Commercial Money Over 1933

New York, Feb 10--Indicative of the quickening pace of business, the commercial money of western banks in the initial weeks of 1884 has shown q decided increase in use fin the various channels of trade as compared with the first six weeks last year, the Bank of America (California) comments in q weekly report on business. At the same time demand deposits of reporting member banks fin the 12th Reserve District show an 8 per cont increase over last year.
 Gains In bank debits in January arc reported by nearly every west crn community. As compared with January, 1883, when the hoarding of money exercised q strong infiu- cnce on business and banking, twenty-seven cities report m in- crease of 11.7 per cent in bank debits.
 An estimated increase of $5,OO0,- 900 in the dividend disbursements of coast corporations in December and January over tho correspond ing period q year ago, Is noted as a factor in deposits. Listed ns major influences upon deposits are the operations of general business and the wages arising out of CWA and PWA funds.

Increased Business
 Reported In Country
It Led to Glowing Hopes That in the Sprngtime There Would Be General Improvement in All
 Lines of Activity

First quarter activity is expected to make one of the best showings over the corresponding period of the previous year since the start of the depression in 1929.
 Bolstered by the automobile in- dustry and railroad demand, the important steel industry has stepped up operations to 38 per cent of capacity from 35 per cent last week.
 Automobile output in the week ended February 3, was nearly dou- ble a year ago with $56,6a3 units turned out. Tn the corresponding week last year production was only 33.292 units.
 Bituminous coal output last week also showed sharp gain, rising to 7,495.00O tons from D. 85O,000 tons year ago. Electric power output last week surpassed last years by 12.5 per cent, com pared with a gain over year ago of only 9.6 per cent in the preced- ing week.
 Indications of continuous gains have reached government officials from bankers in various parts of the country who report a growing investment demand. It Is hoped this will permit large corporations to go into the money market in the near future for funds to finance expansion and Improvements.
 Devaluation of the dollar at a lower gold content Is believed in many quarters to have helped pro- mote rising prices and give new confidence to the financial mar kcts.
 The gradual Improvement in banking circles which has tended to reassure business is attributed to the deposit insurance plan put Into effect at tho start of the year. The various relief activities of tho federal government have added to public purchasing power and stimulated business In many sec- tions.
 Further effects of the return of the United States to a modified form of gold monetary standard through the revaluation of tho dollar are expected in the near fu- ture by many economists. In ad- dition to promoting stability in financial markets at home and promoting rising prices, the pro- gram Is expected to result in tho return of hundreds of millions of dollars of American capital to this country where 1t may be rein- vested in American business.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb. 10---(UP)--Despit the effort of wool consumers to avoid high prices by using sub stitute and competing iibers, the long-run trend of wool values is unmistakably upward. New Sea- sons wool is being bought on the sheeps back in the growing dis tricts of tho west at prices gem erally above prevailing prices, grade for grade, in Boston. To these prices must be added freight. as well ns labor costs in shearing and handling, not to mention com missions for selling, etc. So, all told, 1t looks like higher prices in tho Boston market for the next clip. due on this market in May, or thereabouts.
 The U. $. Agriculture Depart ment said: Scattered trading in greasy wools on the Boston mar ket during tho past week was con- fined largely to small quantities for immediate requ irements. a The greater portion of the business was on the shorter comblng types of 64s and finer quality territory and Texas wools. Most grades of fleece and territory wools, however. received outlets for limited quanti- ties. Knitters have been showing some interest in medium quality wools but trade in this branch of the industry has developed much slower than had been anticipated" 1"

BY ELMER c. WALzER

New York, Feb. 10.-(UP).- The stock market this week en- countered It's first major reaction Of the year. Prices crumpled in heavy selling late Friday after a week of uncertainty.
 The main source of uncasiness for Wall street was proposed legis- lation governing stock exchanges Heavy margin requirements and clauses providing civil liability par ticularly were disconcertIng to the tfRding element.
 Another source of trouble for the markets was Q crisis In France where the government was over thrown by sheer force of public opinion. The French troubles light e1ed as the week ended. It was believed the French would be force off the gold standard with the accompanying Ryrations in ex- change rates, but the franc main tdined a strong tone that indicated official support.
 Cancellation of air mail contracts worked against aviation issues on all American markets and helped unsettle the general list.
 Silver issues were strong for a time in the hope the government would do something for silver. That hope failed to bolster up the Issues when the general list col- lapsed and the various stocks dropped several points. Gold min ing issues also were unsettled aft CT a few days of strength.
 On the decline railroad issues Joined the others in selling lower.

First Major Reaction Of Market This Week
Came on Friday When Wall Street Got the News That President Roosevelt Had Scored Present System
 of Stock Exchange

Utilities were strong early in the week but later lost all gains. Oils were depressed fractions to several points. Mercantile issues had n good market for n time until sell ing spread throughout the market. Motors met heavy realizing. Business news was not as cheer full as in recent weeks but the main trend was upward. Car load ings did not measure up to the percentage gain over 1893, as they did week ago. Electricity output,
 however, was the best as com pared with the previous year since September IS. Steel operations were stepped up but U. s. Steel shipments declined. Retail and wholesale trade held well.
 Commodities were mixed. Grains declined as did copper. hides. sill; and wool. Cotton advanced and so did rubber, cocoa, sugar and cof' fee.
 The Bank of France raised t;h discount rate in the hope 1t could prevent outflow of capital into Am erican markets and in an effort to check the exodus of gold. During the week about 75.000,000 in gold came to the United States from France, and further shipments were due shortly.

New York, Feb. 10.--(UP).- Stocks fuctuated nervously in the short session today. Trading had spurts of activity, particularly dur ing the first hour when transac- tions crossed the billion-share mark.
 The whole market was unsettled by impending stock market legis- lation. The airplane group was up. set additionally by cancellation of government airmail contracts.
 Initial prices were sharply lower. Aviation issues appeared in blocks of. 5000 to 10000 shares. Some of the industrials lacked market for time.
