NEW YORK, July 6.-Stocks slid
along on q fairly even keel today for
slight gains in somewhat faster trad
ing In the New York Stock Exchange.
Brokers said the. market was hitched
10 no one clearly distinguishable factor
and credited fractional gains all along
the line chiefly to increasing conf
dence in the lone-term business trend.
With the Senate away for the week
end. analysts gave over the day pri-
nnarily to charting the course Of mar
kets with the aid Of banking and trade
reports.
A moderate slump in the excess re-
serves Of Federal Reserve member
banks was attributed In banking circles
to . seasonal expansion Of money in
circulation for holiday needs and to
the withdrawal Of funds from member
banks by the Treasury to meet pay
ment of the called issue Of Panama
bonds.
In terms Of the Associated Press
average Of so stocks. the market edged
ahead 4 Of point to $50. The
hourly pace Of trading was somewhat
brisker than Friday. Volume totaled
s1S.s70 shares for the two-hour ses-
sion.
On the whole, investors and traders
seemed to favor no particular group
Steels were steady on buying put down
to the account Of those who looked for
an early seasonal upturn in steel buy
ing.
Mining shares were a little uneasy
owing to another decline in world sill
yer prices. At New York imported bar
silver was reduced u Of q cent to 68A
IN ounce.
Leading industrials managed to perk
UP slightly. Fractional gains were
scored by Allied Chemical at 1861
American Tobacco "B" at a4%. Chrys-
ler at 511a, Du Pont at 104h, General
Motors at 331s and United States Steel
at 35A.
Preferred shares came in for good
deal Of attention and in this section
gains outnumbered losses by about
two to one. Gains of to or more
points were chalked up by the follow
ing senior issues: American Crystal
Sugar "2nd." A. M. Byers, Continental
Can, Pittsburgh Steel. Remington
Rand '2nd." Shell Union Oil, Wheel
Ing Steel and Wilson.

$4OO,OOO,OOO Gold
Taken Mostly by
London HOarders
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 6.-Recent esti-
mates in banking circles indicate that
about $400, ,000, 900 in monetary gold
has disappeared into private hcards
from the end Of March up to the mid
die of June. Usually well-informed
observers say that so far as can be
learned most of this total has t.en
concentrated in London.
1t Is thought to have drifted to that
center largely from France. Switzer-
land and Holland. A small part OF
it is said to have come from India. In
addition to this amount, $500, ,0O0, 600
in monetary gold. including newly
mined metal, is believed to have gone
to the British exchange equaliza ton
fund.
Although not the most important
obstacle to stabilization of currencies,
this boarding Of gold at London is
counted serious problem by those
who are trying to At together all the
pieces Of the world money puzzle.
In the opinion Of exchange experts
it may be some time before confidence
brings this capital out of hoard.

OFFUTT FIGHTS
LIQUOR TRADE
REBATES
Gifts by Wholesalers to Re-
taiIers Will Lead to Old
Evils, He Says

Conditions similar to those
which led to the enactment Of pro-
hibition will result here if liquor
wholesalers and distillers are per.
mitted to make gifts Of fixtures
and display signs to retail dealers,
George w. Offutt, chairman of the
Alcoholic Beverage Control Board,
stated today.
Speaking at a public hearing at
tended by the wholesale and dis.
tiller interests, Mr.. Offutt said any
contract entered into between
wholesalers and retailers involving
gifts or rebates is illegal and
should be discarded Immediately.
Old Evils Feared
He said:
Gifts of signs, fixtures, dis
play services and rebates con-
tributed to the evils which led
to prohibition. Such tie-ins
must be eliminated in the rela-
tons between wholesale and
retail dealers. There must be
q complete enforcement of the
relations between the two
groups of merchants"
Mr.. Offutt pointed out that
the order of the LIQUOR board to
retail dealers that they must
discard such gift signs by April
20 was in accordance with q
ruling of the corporation coun-
sells office that the practice con-
stitutes q violation Of the local
liquor act.
Appeal Planned
Liquor dealers indicated at the
hearing that the question would
be appealed in the District Su-
preme Court. They commended
the local law does not cover the
liquor board ruling. They stated
that the Corporation CounSelS
office was trying to read some
thing into the law which is not
intended"
Mr.. Offutt indicated that the
liquor board was merely acting
as an administrative unit to
carry out the ruling Of the Cor
poration Counsel's office and
that the dealers are at liberty
to appeal any Of its orders.

to Bolivia in violation of the Amer.

the licenses of both the planes
and their pilots. The machines
now are grounded at Lima. and
