New York, Feb. 3--(UP)-Trad-
ing on the stock exchange In the
past week was the heaviest since
late July, 1893, while bond volume
approached record proportions.
Both markets Melted gains with the
bonds the features.
Impetus for the heavy markets
was provided by passage of the
Monetary bill which officially de.
valued the dollar to 59.06 per cent
of the former parity, basing the
dollar on gold value at $35 per
fine ounce; provision for taking
over the federal reserve gold and
tus obtaining the profit from dol
lar devaluation; and setting up Of
q $4,000, 000,0 equalization fund
to keep the dollar stable.
Stock trading involved two A.
000, 000-share days, a 100000
share day, and two 2,000-000-share
days for the full sessions. Tickets
ran behind as much as Z minutes.
Blocks of 1000 to $4,000 shares
were common in the various ses-
sions. Prices moved up until the
Dow-Jones industrial aver age
pierced the 1898 high which meant
a new high since 1891 was made.
Thereafter the market ran into
profit taking and receded from the
best levels of the week, but most
issues closed higher ,
More interest was displayed In
the bond market which did not
suffer a reaction. That was con-
sidered highly significant inasmuch
as the better market for securities
would help pave the way for Is
spance of the additional $1,000
100000 new bonds in the govern
ment program. An aid to the bond
market was a reduction to 1 IL
per cent in the New York Federal
Reserve bank rate.
The latter was done not only 70
aid the bond market and ease Of
fering of the government bonds
but also to prevent too rapid re.
patriation' of funds that were ex-
pected to come home since the
country had returned to a modified
gold standard--an international
gold bullion standard. Vast amounts
of funds began to return late In
the week and the dollar rose sharp
ly in terms of foreign exchange.
tits believed the government
will get It's huge qualification fund
into operation shortly to prevent
further wide dollar gains.
Aviation issues again led the
market In activity on the govern.
ment plans to order nearly 5000

TAXI DRIVERS in

Mayor LaGuardia Talked

New York, Feb. 3-(UP) - New
York's taxi drivers strike spread
to the independents today, leaving
a metropolis accustomed to using
taxis for every conceivable pur-
pose, practically without that mode

that IS per cent had been with

Following a night marked by
sporadic violence. Mayor Fiorello
Fl. LaGuardia, representatives OF
the fleet owners, many of whom
operate as high as 500 cabs, and
strikers delegations met at City
Hall to work out q solution.
The drivers were demanding all
of the proceeds of the five cent
taxicab fare tax recently imposed
by the city but declared unconsti-
tutional by the courts. The tax still

to more than $1,00O,000. The strik-
ers also demanded shorter hours.

who owns and drives his own cab.
These drivers, numbering some T.

Police received complaints of in

Sen. Lawlor Invited
To Hartford Meeting
Sen. Hackett, However, Not Included Among List to
Attend Conference Monday

Senator Joseph II. Lawlor, who
represents the 18th senatorial dis
frsct, has received an invitation to
attend O conference of state demo-
cratic leaders in Hartford on
Monday night, 1t was learned to-
day. At the same time, no such in
yitation has been received by State
Senator Joseph Hackett. member OF
the state senate from the 18th dis
frict, also located in Waterbury.
The reason for this holding up on
Invitations was the source OF much
discussion here to-day.
while Senator Lawlor had car
ried regular democratic district In
recent years, Senator Hackett
eciipsed all previous records in the
regular republican 18th district by
carrying 1t for the democrats by q
majority of approximately 1900.
Only once before did a democrat
take the district and at that time
II was by small margin. The
Hackett victory was a huge one IN
the normally cop. stronghold. His
victory gave the democrats a ma
FORTY Ut one in the state senate
and aided in having the various
policies of the present governor put
over.
Therefore, it is wondered why
Senator Hackett has not been put
on the list of invited guests for the
coming get-together of the demo-
cratic control committee and demo-
cratic party leaders.
At the meeting in Hartford plans
will be discussed for the coordinat-
ing democratic party affairs
throughout the state in prepara-
ton for the fall election. AT the
same meeting a conference will
take place to bring about as much
authority as possible.
