MARKET QUOTATIONS
NEW YORK STOCKS

NEW YORK, July IT. (UP)-
stocks whirled forward l to more
than G points today to the best
general levels in four months in
trading that swelled to around the
100000 share mark.
Profit t-making made no headway
and late in the final hour a burst
of scared short covering sent tick
ers late and many issues to new
highs for the session and the year.
Chrysler was an outstanding fea-
ture with a gain of more than G
points. Steel leaders also were
strong, refleeting a new 1889 high
for steel operations this week.
Speculative interest in the mar
ket was revived by encouraging
domestic business developments and
by further. lessening of tension In
Europe. Domestic labor difficulties
and the, far eastern situation were.
ignored.

thing, they cost money, and for an- other they take up room that is not always to be had. And then, too renters never know where they may be living next.
 This is just an idea of mine, but maybe it is worth something. l be- lieve there would be real market for the inexpensive ready-to-set-up playhouse, weather proof but light enough to handle. It could be taken down in the winter and set up in summer. It should have some win dows and a door and a little porch if possible.
 What I 1onged for more than anything else was little pair of stairs. Eight or ten would have been about right, but a pair of stairs which I could climb up and down all day long. And I wanted a little fence, with a gate I could open and close. I must have wanted them all very much never to have for gotten.
 Boys love a shanty. Perhaps this is the twin of the urge in girls for a playhouse. They want something their size. It is not entirely the im- pulse to build that prompts Billy to hunt up old boards and some nails.
