MARKET DRIFTS
LOWER IN LESS
ACTIVE TRADE
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. IL UNS0
An irregularly lower drift in COM
paratively slow dealings was the
rule in the stock market today,
after a wave of profit taking had
wiped out an early moderate ad-
vance.
The early realizing, which had
sent the ticker 2 minutes behind,
converted small opening gains
into equal-sized losses in most in
stances, although few special is
sues, particularly amusements and
merchandising shares, displayed
independent strength.
Store Shares Climb
Store stocks were outstanding
as a group. allied stores, Gimbel,
Macy, Montgomery Ward and
Spiegel-May-Stern all climbed to
new high ground for the year. The
last named scared better than 4
points at one time, while Macy
advanced nearly 2. SarS Roebuck
squalled it's best price of the year
on a runup of more than 2 points.
Selling pressure was centered
on coppers, utilities and the steelS.
Anaconda was hard hit in the
metals, losing we'll over a point
before meeting support. Losses
elsewhere were mostly of frac-
tional nroportionS.
ChrysIer Gain Pared
Chrysler started off at a fast
pace, jumping close to 3 points to
q new top on the surprisingly
large dividend voted late Tuesday.
Part of this gain was lost, though,
in later realizing. General Motors
held slightly under its previous
finish, while Nash climbed large
fraction.
Loew's on a more than 2-point
advance and Paramount went into
new high territory in the amuse-
ment section. Oils and auto
accessories were little changed.
Bonds moved irregularly higher.

ally were easy. Liverpool ruling "a

COTTON PRICES
TURN EASY

NEW YORK, Nov. IL 0N.SD.
During late forenoon dealings to-
day, cotton prices turned easy.
Bearish sentiment was accentu-
ated by lower Liverpool cables,
and reports of good progress be-
ing made in picking and shipping
the remainder of the crop to mar
ket.
Good trade demand, particularly
on the downscale, barred a too
drastic decline. The South, spot
houses, and New Orleans sold the
staple.
Reports from States bordering
on the Atlantic Seaboard, indicate
good progress is being made in
shipping the balance of the crop
to market. Precipitation in lower
Mississippi has hampered picking.

STATEATTORNEY LEWIS EXPLAINS
Arrests Dispel Idea Racket Is Protected Big
 Shot" Not Arrested

Todays arrests for policy law vio- lationS were made ito dispel from the public mind the notion that the racket Is protected by ofiicials whose duty to the public requires action, declared States Attorney Lawrence L. Lewis in Q statement at the open ing of the special criminal session of superior court this afternoon for the arraignment of those arrested earlier in the day in the drive against policy.
 Evidence against those arrested, said the states attorneys was not secured through the police, but through other sources. Hints that additional bench warrants might be issued were given by MT. Lewis as he addressed the court.
 The man behind the policy rack ct is known, declared States Att torney Lewis, but evidence against him lat present" is insufficient to warrant his arrest and arraign- ment. If he is given information which certain local residents can give, States Attorney Lewis assert ed, the "big shot" can be brought into court.
 The text of MT! Lewis statement to the court is as follows:
 Certain bench warrants have heretofore been Issued by this Court charging divers individuals x.,iAh vlnlnfln nf thA laws ne the State concerning policy playing. A number of these warrants have been served upon the individuals In question who are now to be ar- raigned.
 The State has In It's possession evidence involving others, con- cerning which application for is- suance of warrants will doubtless be presented at some future time.

 Eden stated the British goyeri1- mems position to a crowded house, which included Norman H. Davis of the United States and the ambas- sadors of the leading powers in the galleries.
 Eden explained that the League of Nations must handle the situa- ton, and that until the Council meets on Friday, no decision on what to do can be made.
 No Hostlllties Yet
 However, there is no reason to suppose that the German action irli- plies a threat of hostilities," Eden assured the house.
 Eden said respectfully that only last Friday he had suggested to the Ger man ambassador a discussion of afi air defense pact in western Europe, but that "the German governmenta course profoundly saken confidence in any engagement into which the government of Germany might in future enter"
