 New York, March 7.-(UP)- Leading issues scored fractional gains at the opening on the New York stock exchange to-day as vol- tune fell off to the recent light rate. Dollar >fluctuatioAs were small. Bonds were about steady.
 There was still feeling in Wall Street that further dollar devalua- tion was in the offing despite Washington statements to the con- trary. That had an adverse in- fluence on United States govern ment issues which opened at loss- es of 1-32d to 3-16ths point.
 Devalution outlook brought in some buying on the stock market. U. s. Steel firmed to 30 7-8 up 3-8 on the first sale and con- tinued to rise slightly in the early trading. General Motors opened at 2S .1-2 up IA and held near that level.

Federal Funds Received

t GGUcfa1 EUnOS heCelVeU
 Due to another allotment of fed eral relief funds, received by the town through the state emergency relief commission, 1t now appears as though the EZRA projects here will be carried on through this month, regardless of whether con- greas passes upon the relief bill which is being considered now.
 Since the first of last month the town has been given small allot- ments of funds to carry on the EZRA projects here and the sug- gestion was constantly made that other funds might not be available Tor the work until congress passed the bill it is considering now and making appropriations for the work.
 According to reports from Wash ington 1t appears as though the present bill will be passed soon and that by the first of April money from new appropriations will be available for this town.
 Under such circumstances 1t . seems probably that new projects will be. started here although the number of men working on the re- lief question remain the same as the present.
