WEEKLY REVIEW
 OF CONDITIONS
Activity in Manufacturers With Retail Trade Very
 Much Quieter

Boston, Feb 2I.-(UP)--Activity in manufacturing lines and Quieter retail trade were reported to-day by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc, in the weeklx review of. New England trade conditions.
 "The metropolitan stores, ny special sales, are maintaining their volume close to last years figures" |" the review said, "but the smaller retailers, with whom February ale ways is a difficult time, are finding business somewhat slower than usual.
 "Electricity output still is run ming ahead of last years, but for the past four weeks 1t has shown q reduced margin of gain. Freight carloadings in New Engalnd and revenue freight received are larg. CT than a year ago in slightly in- creasing amounts.
 With a large proportion of manufactures, operations now are at a higher ate than at this time last year, with expectations that this condition will continue for the next two or three months.
 Although trading on the Boston wool market has been more active than for several weeks, the gem eral outlook is rather uncertain. The principal interest is in the fne- dium and lower priced wools, par- ticularly fleeces, although moder. ate quantities of the finer western wools are moving. Quotations remain practically unchanged.
 Carpet wools, are finn and mills are coming itno the market for somewhat larger quantities. De. liveries of wool tops on old orders continue in moderate volume, and some of the top makers are getting fair amount of new business.
 Prices on the finer cottons are firm, but some concessions are g. ported in the lower-priced staple lines. Trading has been rather ir. regular, and at present the market is quiet.
 "The hide and skin market is rather quiet, but tanners in this locality are fairly active. The call for sheep leather is particularly strong. The price trend Is up- ward. Leather prices, too, are firm, but buyers hesitate to place more than small orders for imme- diate use. Shoe factories continue quite active on orders already re- ceived, but new business is not coming in as fast as formerly.
 Building and engineering con- tracts awarded in New England during the past week are up some- what from the past three weeks, but still are at comparatively low figure"

BY ELMER c. WALZER tVjnifed Fress Financial EflifOfl

New York, Feb 21-(UP)-- Stocks advanced fractions to more than a point in today's session as pressure lifted temporarily on the rails and utilities.
 Sugar shares led the recovery which was married only by sharp declines in Baldwin and American Locomotive issues. T o b a c c o s strengthened near the close. Motors were steady. Steels came back small amounts except U. s. Steel preferred which lost more than 2 points. Oils, chemicals and mer- cantile issues made gains.
 A feature on the stock exchange was renewed demand for United States government issues. Ten of them made record highs and 2 others new highs for the year in active trading. Incentive for this buying was traced to a statement by Secretary Morgenthau that the treasury would seek no new money in it's March 15 financing opera tions.
 Grains rallied under the leader ship of wheat which closed up 3-S cent to a cent a bushel. Sugar fu- lures, raw sugar and refined sugar made new highs for the year or longer, a factor in the demand for sugar shares. Cotton futures were steady. Rubber advanced. The dol lar was up in sterling rates and down in gold units.
 Demand for sugar shares car ried Great Western to a new high for the year at '31 1-4 up l IA from the previous close. Ameri- can Sugar issues were up a point with the preferred at a new 1885 top. American Crystal preferred also made a new high. South Porto Rico Sugar gained 5-S point to 24 1-2. Cuban American preferred rose nearly 3 points whilet he com mon was u pfractionally.
 Railroad shares steadied after an early decline. Late in the day some of them registered small gains.
 A sizeable group of special is- sues made new highs for the year at gains ranging to more than 3 points. They included American Safety Razor. United Fruit, Evans Products. Glidden and Household Finance.
 Several of the mercantile shares made gains ranging to a point. J, c. Penney firmed to 69 1-2 up l

PROBATION WORK
 HERE DESCRIBED

Work in correction of juvenile delinquency was described by Miss Kathleen Crowley, city court pro- bation officer. during an interview over Station WATR this afternoon with William T. Harrington, city editor of The Democrat.
 In answer to a question by MT Harrington as to what character istics were common to delinquent children, Miss Crowley named two outstanding ones--lack of religi- ous upbringing and loneliness. The lack of interest in religion she blamed on the indifference of the parents. The loneliness she blamed on their failure to have outside in terests such as memberships n clubs or social groups. -
 Eighty-one per cent of the ch;i- dren dealt with by her, Miss Crow- ley said, are in court for some form of stealing. One case last year involved a blackjacking by a 15-year old boy, while another in- volved blackmail by a girl in her teens.
 Waterbury, stated Miss Crowley, compares more than favorably with the rest of the state in ju- venile probation work. Humani- tartan methods are used in handling boys and girls, she de- clared. and in many cases that In itself lays the foundation for req; reform on the part of the de- linQuents.

Large Flow Of New
 Capital Issues Soon
Recent SimpIifcatOn of Registration Regulations and Elimination of "GOId Clause" Uncertainty Productive

New York, February 21-- Simpli. fication of the registration of sec curities and the elimination of ur- certainty as to the Gold Clause decisions should stimulate greatly the issuance of new securities, ac. cording to investment bankers. These two developments. the bank CTS say, clear up conditions that have impeded the normal flow ct security issues either for refund. ing or new capital purposes.
 Registration requirements for new financing have now beeA made practically the same as those for permanent listing on security ex- changes. The effect of these changes is that corporations which now have listed securities, may engage in new financing without supplying any materially different information than is already required In connec' tion with the listing statement.
 In presenting a graphic chart to show liabilities and registration in- formation for new financing as compared with exchange listing leading bankers comment on the new registration regulations as follows:
