Rx uIIES KRAMER

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 Q.N.SO.
Curb stocks continued strong and
active in later dealings as per-
sistent demand buoyed all groups.
Irregularity persisted, however, in
individual issues. Although the
copper advance was generally con-
sidered bullish, the metals failed
to make much of it.
An unexpected upward surge
developed in the utilities which
had been barely steady and lag
ging behind the rest of the mar
ket in earlier dealings. Led by
Mohawk Hudson Power, which
climbed almost 2 points to a new
high, the power list developed
strength generally, Electric Bond
and Share advancing 5s point in
heavy demand and American Gas
& Electric as much. Cities Serv-
ice pfd. was up more than a point
as were United Gas pfd. and
American Gas pfd.
Weakness in Hiram Walker,
which broke 11a points before re-
covering a small part of its loss,
communicated itself to Distillers
Corporation, which lost early
gains. Kruger was firm. In the
specialties, Aluminium, Fajardo,
Ferro-Enamel and Wayne Pump
were strong and active. Ameri-
can Cyanamid B recovered from
early weakness.
Oils were fairly strong, with
Imperial Oil and Creole in the
van of the upward movement.
Metals continued mixed and
such gains as were scored were
slight and made in Lnenthusiastic
trading. Newmont and New Jer-
sey Zinc continued higher, the
latter in anticipation of an ad-
vance in Zinc prices.

This was disclosed by counsel
for the company today to Federal
Judge Julian w. Mack during the
hearing in a case charging the
Associated with insolvency and
asking a reorganization under
Section 77-B of the Bankruptcy
act.
The ultimate purpose, Judge
Mack was told, was to bring the
complicated Set-up. which has
been under attack for several
years from many sources running
up to President Roosevelt, to one
or two holding companies.
The company hopes to be able
to accomplish this by December
l, it was stated. The reorganiza-
ton will mean the elimination
of hundreds of holding and sub
holding companies.
Judge Mack postponed the
hearings until November 6 to
give the company an opportunity
to continue with its plans.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8 GN.S0.
Gains of 60 cents a bale in the cot
ton market Immediately prior to
the Government cotton crop esti-
mate at II o'clock, were cut
sharply as the report revealed an
expected decline of only about
$4,000 bales from last months fig
ure whereas the trade had been
anticipating a cut of more than
100000 bales.
The yield was placed at 1854
900 bales, against II, ,489 600 bales
as of September and 11,789, 600
bales two months ago. Cotton ex-
change members had guessed at
l1,37O,OO0 bales average, and trade
reports had led to a belief that
the cut would be sharped al
though in the latest reports a
higher tendency became evident.
Before the report the market
had been strong and active in ex-
pectation of the lower report and
on strong Liverpool cables, further
foreign buying and reports OF
severe frosts over parts of the belt
where the crop was some weeks
late still.
The trade continued a buyer as
did foreign connections for the
continent, the Far East and Liver
pool. Selling was coming from
the South, spot houses and COM
mission houses. Wall Street and

 None of those who spoke before the meeting disputed the officers right to arrest Holmvick. who was too drunk to be left on the street, but all agreed that it certainly was not necessary while taking him one block to jail to beat him over the head to such an extent that blood was displayed freely, nor to leave him in the cell without summon ing a doctor Two gashes. one about three and onehalf inches long and the other, two inches long. were suffered by the prisoner from these blows.

 As a native born Alaskan trap operator in Western Alaska I wish to appeal to your fairness and in interest of our native people about the trap tax bill before you Joe Hofman's bill looks as if it is aimed directly against us as we cannot bear the burden because our humpbacks are smaller and the cost of operation in exposed waters is several times more than ordi- nary. Our plans to build native cannery depends on this bill Also if bill passes we must give up the plan for housing natives which we have started and free hospital for all; also raising of cattle and com pleting native seine boat fleet SO all native fishermen have boats, and keeping up lights that we started at Popof Straits last year"

 Against Discrimination
 We understand that a new li- quor bill is pending which would deprive the native of his citizenship right In buying liquor This pro- posed bill will eventually bring the bootlegger back among the natives and therefore the Young Peoples Advancement club has gone on re- cord vigorously protesting against this bill or any other bill tending to discriminate against the native.
