OUTLOOK BETTER IN INDUSTRIES
 STATES REPORT.
Dun and Bradstreet, Inc. Give Weekly Review of
 New England

Boston, Jan 25-5(UP)-The out look for the wool, cotton and leather industries improved fur ther in the past week, aided by firm prices, nDu & Bradstreet, Inc, reported today in the weekly re- view of New England trade condi- tions.
 "The woolen mills in several sections are increasing produc- tion," the review said. Although the wool goods market is rather quiet, prices are firm, and the de- lnand gradually is increasing.
 Prices of raw wool are strength ening, particularly the finer grades and the market has been more ac- tive during the past week. Wool tops also sold a little more freely, and the volume. of deliveries on old contracts has increased.
 "The rayon division still is the most active of the textiles and mills continue well sold out. De- mand for finished cotton goods during the week has increased and there has been more activity in the gray goods market. Sale of ray on cloth also is increasing. Textile operators are further encouraged by the fact that their increased operations have been conducted at a fair margin of profit.
 More activity is reported in the leading shoe manufacturing cen- ters, as operations have been in- creased to take care of the recent large volume of orders received and the necessity of making deliv- cries in time for the Easter selling season. As a result, more inquiry for all grades of leather is being received. and sales of upper leath- CT increased considerably. Prices are firm.
 Building and engineering con- tracts awarded during the past week in New England showed large increase, totals having been exceeded on only a few occasions for number of years past. Cur rent sale of building lumber are light, and there has not been much improvement in the call for hard wood lumber. This, however, is between seasons, and much better demand for lumber for inanufac- turing purposes is expected to de- velop before long. In the mean time, prices are well maintained. Heavy building materials are slightly more active, with prices steady.
 Automobile dealers continue to expand their sales, orders received at the automobile show being con- siderably ahead of last years. Out put of electric power in New Eng land for the week ended January 13 showed an increase of 9.2 per cent over the total for the cores bonding week of 1933."

Four Persons Killed and { Hundreds Injured in I Past "A Hours

London. Jan 25-(UP)-Four persons are known to have been killed, hundreds were injured, and traffic from Yorkshire to Sussex has been paralyzed for "A hours, in the worst winter fog recorded in England in years.

 Several hospitals where opera tions were in progress were forced to continue with candle light or oil lamps.
 ' The fog was responsible for the grounding of the liner Aquitania at Salshot Spit, entrance to South ampton water. The ship was floated at high tide undamaged.
 Sporting events were cancelled throughout the country. The fog increased in density during the night. but began lifting today.

RANSOM OF YOUNG BANKER HANGING
 IN THE BALANCE
Three Day Period of Delay
 Before Any Deal is Made

St Paul, Jan 25 - U.P.) - A Ehree-day period of delay between the payment of $200,000 ransom and the release of Edward B. Bremen, 36, Kidnapped banker, was reported as the demand contained in a note his abductors delivered to the victims father, Adolph Brem- er, a friend of President Roosevelt.
 The demand was the subject of uneasy conjecture on the part Of police investigators who called any Such procedure as highly unusual
 The report of the demand re- called that bloodstains were found fn the automobile from which Bremmer was Kidnapped week ago 9ast Wednesday. Police were aware Shat such demand might follow @n unexpected accident in which Bremer sustained injury.
 The unprecedented massing of Federal department of justice agents in the twin cities also was seen as a factor in causing such a demand for delay. Release of Bremen under such a plan might occur hundreds of miles from St Paul.
 The federal men were known to be anxious to locate Verne Sankey, N2, and Gordon Alcorn, 27. South Dakota Kidnapping suspects. Sankey and A1corn were wanted on kid- . .naping charges in St Paul and Den- Yer.
 One police theory of the kidnap- eng held that headquarters for the abductors was being maintained in the heart of St Pauls most exclu- sive neighborhood. One telephone call to the Bremen family was re- ported traced to an exchange in this district.
 Mrs Emily Bremen, wife of the emiSBing man, was reported in a nervous collapse and under the eare of a physician.

 Miano said two fights occurred at the election place, the first in the forenoon. Pallotti, he said, came in and when he told him he would have to vote and get out the battle started.
 My shirt was torn off my back in the fight" Miano said. "Others help PalIotti."
 Malone was among those in the gang at the first fight, Miano said, but did not join in the trouble in the afternoon when Pallotti and his crowd allegedly wrecked the voting place a second time.
 Miano told the judge that Pal lotti helped Malone when there were elections in Middletown and that Malone returned the compli- ment at Hartford elections. "When Pallotti came in the sec- ond time I got ready" Miano told hte judge.
 You mean you squared off ?" asked Judge Dickenson. "Yes, took a shellacking the first time and I wasn't going to take it again if I could help it," said the witness.

 Volume continued large on the bond market in all but United States government bonds. The lat ter were steady, however, while the general list eased off moderate ly.

The dollar firmed up slightly in terms of for eign exchange Commodities were easier with wheat down more than a cent a bushel.
 Wall street regarded the action Of the stock market as indicative or strong undertone and predict ed further entry of the outside public. There was slight letup in foreign buying prominent in re- cent sessions, and a small amount of short selling was noted.
 Automobile issues were the out standing features. Hudson made a new high for the past two years and heavy demand was noted for Chrysler, General Motors and Nash. Automobile equipments were in demand, especially Electric Auto-Lite, Briggs, and Motto Meter. The latter made 8 new high.
 International Telephone and Isadio were the most heavily trad- ed In the communications group. The latter rallied after an early decline. Western Union was firm throughout the day, while Amer ican Telephone moved in a marrow range. 7,

 Dispute

Dr Jacobi is, one of the three most prominent pastirs associated with the emergency league, which is opposed to the German Christian faction, and many meetings of his group have been at his home in recent weeks.
 The seven men who assaulted him broke into the parsonage by force, and escaped before aid could be summoned.

 "On earth as it is in heaven."
 "On earth as it am in hebben" Scott's voice was loud and hyster- ical.

 The prompting and responses continued slowly under clear sky. The mob stood around, inpatient ly awaiting the end. When the amen was said, Scott was jerked upward and the fusilade of shots quickly ended his life,

says that large New York banks have

definition that stocks were not in
vestment securities. the paper said.
Most Of the large banks do q con-
