firmer tone developed in grains
shortly after the opening today
and early losses in wheat were
converted into small gains.
May wheat yielded 12c to 1924
and then rallied to $1,000 to
show a fractional gain while corn
recovered to yesterdays close after
yielding 70 to 1914. Trading was
relatively light and a hesitant
tone prevailed after the first hour.
Near mid-session wheat was un-
changed to bcup, corn unchanged
to 2sc off and oats unchanged to
Vac off.

UmS were down slightly.
Motor shares showed some sup
port.
Steel shares sagged. U. S. Steel
slipped under the 32-level and
Bethlehem was down.
Rail shares ruled around the
previous close. There was little
activity in the group. Rail bonds
were reactionary.
Tobacco shares were firm.
Little of consequence developed
in the farm shares. Consolidated
Gas gave up some of its recent
rise. American Telephone turned

sluggish.

account of unreasonable weather.
Now this buying is over, and coal
carloadings are off. This is the
chief significance.
In fact, the decline in coal
movement may be said to have a
favorable meaning. Developments
during the week warrant hopes
that threatened labor difficulties
will not materialize. The rubber
strike seems off as a result of
compromise. Automobile labor
seems unlikely to strike. I hear
nothing further of strikes in coal
mines or textile plants or among
longshoremen.
The weather map, too, appears
more favorable, and the sun is
shining again in New York as I
write. This won't help coal. but
it will stimulate the Easter trade,
which has been held back by
cold wet weather, dust storms, etc.
I am still inclined to think
that business activity is, on
the whole, tending to decline,
but that there is likely to be a
little pickup soon, and that
then the decline to be expected
until about July will not be
very sharp.
Then, in the fall, there is
some probability of another
squirt, when Government spend
ing will reinforce the usual
seasonal factors.
If the Government were to re-
duce its spending, it is probable
that a considerable recession in
business would develop, and might
bring a final deflation this year.
But the Government is not going
to reduce its spending, and &C.
cordingly, there is no use in con-
sidering that thought.
On the other hand, if the Gov.
eminent were going to spend
wildly and to rush into radical
initiation of the currency, there
would soon be an inflationary
squirt. But the Government is
not going to do these things either,
and accordingly we need not con.
slider them as an immediate factor.
What is likely is that the Gov.
eminent will soon begin spending
enough millions for grade crossing
elimination, hi ways, public
works, and Investigations to be
conducted by white collar" men,
to support business. It has four
billions to spend, and it will GER
tainly find enough ways of doing
this to prevent a bad slump be-
tween now and election time
But it is also going to go
through with a large refunding
project, and has just called the
Fourth Liberty 4As for october
Is. In order to induce investors
to take low-yield bonds in their
place, the government simply can.
not go in for any wild initiation
airy stuff. That would destroy
the market for high grade bonds,
and defeat the refunding.
Nothing would be more fatal
to the New Deal than a bad break
in government bonds, and the
injury to the banks which. would
result.
So a period Of irregular and
moderate decline in industrial
activity seems probable, to be
followed by another New Deal
squirt in the fall or winter.
Then the infIatiOnary factors in
the situation may appear.

Thousands of pedestrians who have passed the excavation in front of the Palace theater on East Main street for the past several months might be interested to know that the finishing touches to a painstaking engineering project, ill progress all during the spring and part of the winter, underneath the buildings of East Main and Brook streets, are being put on and that the hole should be closed within a week.
 Engineers from the city engin- cerlng department, Thomas J. sFleming, superintendent of streets, and engineers from the Connecticut Light & Power Go. had charge of the construction project under heath the ground. The lighting company men constructed a large, concrete building to house the transwormers that cut down the electric current fed to buildings in that vicinity.
 Brook Enclosed
 Street department workmen did the actual construction work of en- closing Great Brook, which runs underneath the building, in con- crete and brick walls about two feet thick. The brook is enclosed for several hundred feet, from the point of excavation on Fest Main street to Brook and South Main street
 When the cover is laid on the

 The enclosing of the brook had to be done because of the condi- ton of the walls of the tunnel- like structure.
 The waters of Great Brook carry large quantities of acid from fac tories in the Northern section of tho city near which the brook runs in it's source down through the city to enter the Naugatuck river. found, had eaten to within two or three inches of the total width of the two foot walls and it would not have been long before the acid ridden water would have gone right through both sides of the wall.

 The engineers discovered that the acid does not work the same way on brick, so in order to prevent the condition from again arising they have laid in inverted, or curv- ed bed for the water to pass over, and have laid the bed with brick. .l
 The building constructed by the lighting company men stands a. bout 10 feet high, is about feet wide and about Is yds, 20 feet long. Electric current that somes from the power plant is broken down by transformers installed in the building and no volts are sent into each of the buildings above the street that need the current.
