minor fractions, however, and near
the close these were erased in some
cases. A few issues also managed to
emerge on the up side, but the bulg-

had faded.
Fairly hopeful news items were
noted, as we'll as some not so cheer
full, but real buying stimulation was
lacking Many skeptical traders
cashed profits on the story the mar
ket had yet to give definite recov-
cry signal Business, Congress, poll

fact volume dWindled in declining
periods. Transfers approximated
600 900 shares.
Lacking support the greater part
of the time were United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Chrysler, General Mo-

Occasionally ahead were Mont

Wavering in the curb were United

skidded. Wheat at Chicago was off
1l2 to rs cents a bushel and corn

ing what an immense amount of work is involved in the project. Frequently the aliens have secured their first papers already, and will become citizens before the project actually gets under way. Others ex- pect to get their second papers be- fore the completion of the regis tration, and there is some confusion in their minds about whether they should be registered or not. All such persons are strongly advised by the postmaster to register now, to avoid any risk of incurring the government : imposed penalties of six months in prison or $1OO0 fine, should they fail to be naturahzed before the 26th of December, when the tabulation will officially come to an end.
 Frequently, in order to determine the status of some of the persons in question, the local authorities have to get in touch with immigra- ton authorities at Boston or New York, and the red tape involved in the process is considerable. Yet, des- pite all these difficulties, by the time the registration starts, much of the work will already be disposed of, thanks to the willingness of the local plants to cooperate with the officials in charge of the project.
