NEW YORK. April 6-Although
buyers of stocks we're fairly clipper
today, they lacked the wholehearted
energy shown on Friday.
The principal hitching post for
cheerful sentiment was the report by
Cram on automobile production. The
weeks output was estimated at lot 1896
compared with 1o3,2s6 last week and
ss,722 in the like week year ago.
Brokers took the increase to mean
manufacturers are hopeful of good
sales ahead.
Final passage of the five billion re-
lief measure had been largely dis
counted. brokers said. While 1t was
thought to have long-term bullish po-
tentialities, Judgment was reserved
until such time as analysts can more
adequately gauge the rate and direc-
tions in which these enormous funds
will eventually flow.
As in recent sessions the attention
Of banking circles was focused on the
behavior of the foreign exchange mar
kec. The rally Of full cent in the
guilder was attributed to the an
nouncement of the Netherlands gov
ernment that there would be no
embargo on gold shipments For all
that, various observers were not
shaken from their opinion that spec
ulative sharpshooting at the guilder
and other gold currencies may yet
start up again.
At 37.7 the Associated Press average
Of 80 stocks showed gain Of 0.2 OF
q point. Turnover totaled 464,29O
shares compared with Fridays 1,2l3,-
500 shares for the full five-hour ses-
sion, On the other hand, the market
was nearly twice as active as last
Saturday when 7,240 shares changed
hands.
While industrial and rail stocks
edged ahead for fair gains, the
utilities seemed content to reflect
their lessened fear of regulation by
holding stubbornly to their good ad-
vance of the previous day.
A somewhat warmer feeling toward
leading industrial equities was mir
rored in the fractional rises scored
by International Nickel, Kennecott,
Anaconda, Montgomery Ward and
General Motors. Advance Of point

ton, American Tobacco. Caterpillar

New York Cotton

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Cotton was
generally steady today on trade buy
ing and covering, with July advanc-
ing from 1897 to 1lo5 and closing
at 1104 The general market cl1sed
very steady at net advances of 7 to

Further near month liquidation and
switchings from May to later deliver

Trade interests continued to buy near

Passage of the work relief bill had
no effect at the opening, but the
prospects for large Government ex-

have contributed to the late advance

MR. ELLER'S GIFT

A. H. Eller, prominent Winston
Salem lawyer and business man, has
presented the Ashe> County Library
with a gift of books that would cost
the library around $500 if they had
been bought. Since the library is still
in the struggling stage, it could not
have afforded the books and would,
therefore, never have had them had
not one of her native sons, who has
made good in the outside world, re-
memberef her.
Mr.. Eller is brother of Mr.. H. A.

Of the county's older families. If all
of Ashes sons and daughters, who
are able, would so generously remem-

visit the library and avail themselves
of Mr.. Eller's gift, and the gifts of
others who have had a hand in the
growth of the first public library the
county has ever had.
