NEW YORK, April 2 tPy.-A late
furry of buying in leading stocks
wiped out part of earlier losses and
gave the market today a mixed
score of minor gains and losses.
A rally in grains and cotton after
midday apparently furnished stocks
the cue for another try at an ad-
vance. Mail order and other shares
dependent upon farm income re-
sponded to the strengthening OF ag.
ricultural staples.
With strikes and disputes over
wages hampering industrial opera
tions, steel and motor shares drifted
lower in the forenoon but rallied
with other sections of the list later.
The rebound in major cornmodi-
ties helped fan the flicker of i'm
flation" sentiment noticeable in Wall
Street talk lately. although stocks
have Jagged behind staple markets.
Higher were American Can, Cerro
De Pasco, Kennecott, General Elec-
tric, Chicago Great Western pre-
ferred, Continental Baking A, Amer
ican Car g. Foundry preferred,
United States Rubber, Goodyear,
Montgomery Ward and Sears-Roe-
buck
Inclined to lag were American
Telephone, Douglas Aircraft, Allis-
Chalmers. Texas Corp. and Interna-
tional Nickels.
Transactions approximated 49,.
900 shares.
Rails, lower in the forenoon, re-
covered to show little change. Mo-
tors also made up forenoon losses.
Alabama Great Southern jumped
more. than 5 in the curb list Ad-
vances of fractions to around were

Speculation Dies Out
In Canadian Dollar
As Rumor Is Spiked
Both Roosevelt and llsley
Deny Plans to Peg Unit
With U. S. Currency
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April "A specu-
lative play that whisked the Canadi-
an dollar up "a cents yesterday
died out today after President
Roosevelt and Canadian Finance
Minister Isley denied negotiations
were in progress to peg the dominion
currency at par with the United
States dollar.
The Canadian dollar was quoted
around 87A United States, or
roughly "a cent below the years
top price hit yesterday.
Money dealers reported that yes
terday's trade in the Canadian unit
was about the heaviest in months.
Estimates of the turnover ranged
to 5000, 900. or 20 times as much as
recent slow daily business.
The runup in price was believed
due to buying based on the hope
that Canadian United States COM
merce might be restored to free
trade basis.
The great bulk of business be-
tween the two nations is done at
officially prescribed exchange rates,
which currently put the Canadian
dollar at a discount of around 10
per cent under the United States
dollar.

today on S25 900 900 in Navy and
Marine defense projects in the San
Diego area.
At the request of Federal Concili-
ator Harry Malcolm, the Navy modi-
fed it's ultimatum to the strikers
that they be back on the job at 8
am. P. S. t.. The fOur-hour
grace enables the men to receive a
report on the settlement.
The Navy earlier had announced
that If strikers did not report at 8
am, their jobs would be filled by
available labor and the union men
given any jobs remaining at noon.
A spokesman said this concession
constituted the only recession from
the Nays original position as stated
by Rear Admiral Charles A. Blakely,
| 18th District commandant.
Replies to Revolt" Charge.
The admiral had termed the strike
as open revolt against the United
States Government" a description
that brought a reply from K. G..
Bitter. Building Trades Council sec
retary, that 'if any of our men were
in revolt against the Government,
We would be the first to expel them" :"
In calling the strike Monday, Mr.
Bitter said the action was directed
at contractors awarded construction
| jobs on Navy and Marine expansion
| programs, but Admiral Blakely said
| the labor leaders were "defying only
one contractor-the United States
| Government"
The strike was called to enforce
a demand for a dollar a day wage
boost which union leaders said was
| justified because of a 27i2 per cent
! increase in the cost of living in San
Diego in the last year.
John Murray. Los Angeles. inter-
national carpenters representative
said the settlement was based on a
new Interpretation by the Navy or
lump sum Government projects
which would permit contractors tC
paw the scale demanded by the
! unions.

Mr.. Murray said that on cost-plus
contracts wage differences would bt

 You remember how dad sui fered," she said. T recall the stories you wrote about the way Dad used to wander around the course when I was playing as an amateur. He was afraid to get close enough to see me make bad shot and at the same time was afraid to get so far away he couldn't hear about it."

 He is still alive, but scarcely y Patty answered. Dad squeezed him so hard the year I won the national women's championship that Tuxedo never has been the same. He al- ready was weak from Dad wrap ping him in Turkish towels and talk ing him out in hail storms. Know what Dad did when he had to leave Tuxedo at home? He took to whit tin on the course"

There is her brother, Herman, Jr., who came close to breaking his neck when she won the national. Her man, Jr, was atop a step-ladder when she canned her last putt, leaned too far to one side attempt ing to urge the ball in, and landed on an old lady from Poughkeepsie who wasn't as worried about Her mans broken collar bone as about her crushed Victorian bonnet.
 Frank Funke, Lee Lockwood and Marshall Nelson are three others to whom Patty has brought peace by quitting the chase for cups These three are dear friends of the family and have played with Patty since she took up golf as kid of IA. She recalled with laugh the agony this threesome underwent when she was two down and two to play to Marion Miley in the trans-Mississippi semi-finals ir1 1899.
 They had given me a pep talk before I started, and when I won the first extra hole MT. Funke tore off his sweater, MT. Lockwood yanked off the buttons on his double breasted coat, and MT. Nell son threw his cap right into lake If had lost, believe they would have died"
 At this point the waiter brought the check and I left-a gallant southern gentleman who couldn't bear the sight of woman paying the bill.

Boys Club Sports

The Boys Club Senior League will ring down the schedule on the first round of play this evening with a three game slate. At o'clock the Warriors and the Trojans get to- gether followed by the all impor- tant clash between the Bombers and the Pond Aces who both have a chance to tie the Warriors for a first round play-off. The nightcap will bring together the Gophers and the Abrigades.
 The Warriors are the only unde- feated team in the circuit and they are odds on favorites to trim the Trojans this evening. If the Pond Aces, with Fisher. Luke, Donnelly, Rinaldi and Mcfarland defeat the BomberS this evening then on Fri day night the Aces will play their postponed game with the Warriors and a win for the Aces will neces- sitate a play-off. If the Bombers win this evening the Aces and the Warriors will still have to play on , Friday and if the Warriors lose they will have to play against the Bombers.
 In any event the second round of play will begin next Wednesday and from the way that all teams have strengthened it looks like a photo finish with very few points separat- ing the first and last place quintet.
