Exchunee Prices Stiffen
In Closing Hour Of

NEW YORK. July 24.-Lieht bid.
ding for selected rails and indus
trials helped cushion general de-
clining tendencies in today's stock
market.
The list dropped at the start but
offerings were exceptionally small
and trends began to stiffen after
midday. While fractional recessions
ruled in the closing hour, there were
few wider setbacks. An assortment
OF modest plus marks was in evi-
dence at the last.
Dealings were slack throughout
and the failure Of any real selling
pressure to appear was the most en-
couraging feature of the session.
Transfers were around $50, 900
shares.
Market Held "Over- Sold"
Talk of the market being oversold
in Wednesdays relapse. sharpest
since June %. was a bolstering in
f1uence. Continued tax apprehen-
sion, waning of imitation inspiration
and disturbing battle bulletins from
Russia received the principal blame
for recovery apathy.
Merchandising shares had to
contend with further signs OF q
flattening out of the retail SPEND
ing curve. Dun & Bradstreet esti-
mated this weeks dollar volume for
the Nation as whole was down 3
to 6 per cent from the comparable
194l period.
Notice was taken of the Federal
Reserve Board summary disclosing
the country's department store sales

ceeded the corresponding week last
year by S per cent. The year-to-
year increase in the week concluded
July II was placed at 10 per cent.
Few Rail Bonds Gain.
A few rails, with gains of frac-
tions to point or so, stood out In
an otherwise quiet and irregularly
lower bond market near the final
hour today.
Heavy demand developed for vari-
Gus issues OF the Denver, Rio Grande

prices without controlling wages and
all other elements that enter into
prices is obviously unfair. The
association therefore holds that any
attempt that might be made to con-
troll rents by law must also control

of ownership and operation of prop
erty, including wages and property
taxes"

If your house was not salts
factorily heated last winter don't
wait until fall to do something
about it. Materials are still avail
able which may be gone when cold
weather starts again. Sometimes
so small a thing as new air-valve
for one-pipe steam radiator may
make the difference between a cold
room and a warm one.
There is a valve on the market
employing a principle known as
"large-port fast venting" which
makes it possible for every radiator
in a one-pipe steam system to warm
up at the same time. 1t costs 81
and is good for lifetime. Install
one on each radiator. and not only
the radiator nearest the boiler, but
all of them, will deliver heat auto
matically controlled by the venting
valves at the same rate.
Operate Mechanically.
There is nothing for the house
holder to do but have the valves
set at the beginning OF the heating
season. After that they operate
mechanically, adjusting the size of
their openings as conditions dictate.
Heat which is not needed in the
living room will not be wasted in
the large radiator there but will
be distributed to other and colder
rooms
In addition, this new valve is said
to be leakproof, does not spit or
make noises, and Is smaller and
better looking than similar older
type valves. 1t is intended for one
pipe steam systems only, but there
are other valves with comparable
qualities for two-pipe steam and
hot-water radiator heating systems.
New Linoleum Backing.
When you buy linoleum this
spring it may look little different.
Instead of the usual burlap backing
residential types will have a back
ing of specially treated cotton sheet
ing. This change has been made
to conserve supplies of linoleum
burlap for industrial and marine
use, but the results, from the house
holders point of view, are all to the
good.
Cotton backed linoleum is slightly
more flexible than the burlap-
backed, which permits it to be more
rapidly installed. The linoleum sur
