 New York, May 19- (UP)- Prices moved narrowly on the stock exchange today In one of the smallest Saturday sessions of the year.
 Ali other markets were dull with stocks. Commodity tlckers barely moved and prices there also were in a narrow arc. Grains were ex. ceptional with wheat rising more than cent bushel, and corn nearly cent.
 Closing of many European mar kets for tho Whitsuntide holiday was an influence in commodity markets and in foreign exchange transactions. It may also have had some retarding effect on stock trading, although tho latter was due mostly to unwilllngneSs of trades to take positions until more clarifying news was forthcoming from Washington on the stock market regulation bill, and on the plans for silver purchase by the treasury.
 Recent dealings in silver that have been ascribed to the treasury were lacking today and the near months turned dull with tho oth- CTS. Near months in rubber fut. ures were exceptionally dull with prices down a few points. Closing of the Liverpool cotton market, favorable weather and dullness in cotton goods were detorrcnts to interest In the cotton futures mar ket.
 Toward tho close, strong grain market stimulated some interest In cotton and prices frmed. Tho bet- ter wheat market also had good influence on stocks. They slowly flrmed with a sizeablc list making small net gains for tho day near the close.
 Metal issues led the recovery In the sharp market, particularly the silvers. Tn tho latter group, what few shorts remained closed their commitments pending introduction of Q silver bill expected on Mon- day. In the last few minutes of trading on the commodity ex- change, May silver turned active, The price. however, held within Q few points of the previous close. U. $.

New York, May 10 --- (UP) =. Markets experienced technical rally during the past week. Stocks had a day Of sharp gains and trad Ing sufficiently active to cause tlckers to lag, but tho vlgor was only temporary md the rlso was not continued.
 Commodities generally were higher with wheat still under drought influence. Silver metal did nothing when tho silver bloc and President Roosevelt came Into reported agreement. Grains follow ed wheat higher but tho rise was less vigorous than recently. Cotton about held It's own. Sugar, silk and rubber wero higher. The dollar eased bonds Armed,
 Silver stocks responded with Il sharp rlso since the silver mining companies would profit handsome ly by any further rise In tho pur- chase price of silver. The treasury ls now paying silver miners about 64 t.9 cents an ounce, while tho world market price is around 44 cents.
 Declines from tho previous week were noted In such major indices as automobile production, car loadings, and steel production Electricity output was up but only temporarily and n decline was looked for next week. Failures, on tho other hand, were bullish in that they set n now low for if years.

Two Important Federal Changes Pending, Cotton Con-
 trOl Bill and Foreign Loan Situation

The most important pieces of federal legislation completed last month were the Bankhead cotton 0cntrol blil and the Johnson blll to prohibit loans to foreign gov ernments In default on their obll. gatlons to the United States.
 The former is regarded by many authorities as tho most drastic measure yet taken to raise prices of farm products, states the cur- rent issue of The Guaranty Trust Company Survey, Many members of congress who voted for it ex. pressed great skepticism as to It's probable effectiveness, The act limits the amount of cotton that can bo sold tax-free during the 1eo4-36 season to 10,000,O0O bales. This maximum amount will be de vided into allotmcnts for states, counties, and individual farms. Any farmer selling moro than the aliot- ted amount will be required to pay tax of 50 per cent on the excess.
 Doubts regarding the success ot tho plan are based principally on the fact that cotton Ia . world, not q domestic. commodity, The Sur. vey continues.

Tucson, Arly., May l9-(UP) - Detectives searched local machine shops today for Il mechinic who built the corrugated-i -iron cage in which littlo June Roblos was found chained 10 days uftcr she was kid. naped.
 Only a mechanic or weldcr, skilled in handling ball hammer and lathe. could have constructed the torture chamber, authorities were convinced. With no available suspects at hand. they instigated q hunt for the builder, believing he either was involved directly In the Kidnapping or could give informa- tioh.
 June was released from tho cruel torture box Monday night. An ankle chain bound her fast.
