WALZER United Press Finanrlal Editor NEW YORK, March B.—Trading turned dull on the Stock Exchange today and prices moved aimlessly in the late morning after a rise from an irregular opening earlier in the day. The oil shares as a group made the best showing, several rising to new highs for the year. Leading industrials lost part of their gains and were moving back and forth listlessly around noon. Utilities held small gains and so did railroad issues. Grains attracted from a firmer opening following a decline at Livernooi. Wheat declined % to ’i e. a bushel and corn also cased fractionally. Cotton futures held steady around the previous close. Silk Futures Dip Silk futures sold at record lows on the National Raw Silk Exchange, the decline attributed to the unf. of the yen which was at 31.10, off 65 points from the previous close. The pound sterling continued to advance here and in London. It reached $3.66, up 13 cents. The French franc dropped below parity lor the first time since early January. Aside from the gyrations of the foreign exchanges there was little of interest in the financial community. Bonds generally were higher, with the exception of British bonds which sold down a point or so on the rise in sterling. Japanese bonds held about steady in tne face of lower prices for the yen. Silver Issue Climbs General Motors at noon reported its sales for February at 62,850 units, against 74,710 in January and 96.003 in February, 1931, General Motors stock was steady through the morning, ranging between a high of 22's and a low of 21 T s, the latter up % net. New Haven declared the regular quarterly dividend of $1.75 a share on the preferred stock and the issue spurted 4% points to 61 >i. Another sharp advance was scored by International Silver, which rose to anew high for the year at 22%, up 3% points from the previous close.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not" which appeared in Monday’s Times: The Most Sensitive Instrument —The magnetic strain gauge is so sensitive to imperceptible movement that it will measure the length to which a man will stretch a one-inch iron bar barehanded. It also will gauge the stress of a locomotive thundering over the rail so precisely that the weight of the engine has been calculated from its readings more accurately than the railroad records indicated. The readings are arrived at with the aid of an oscillograph, upon the priciple of electric current. Tomorrow: A Great Metropolis Built in a Day. NAB SUSPECT IN TRUNK MURDER Philadelphia Man Charged With Slaying Landlady. By United Press PHILADELPHIA, March 8. Prospect of another "Bluebeard” murder case was seen by police today with the arrest of a suspect in the murder of a white-haired woman whose body was found jammed into a trunk in a rooming house. The prisoner is Louis Fine, 50, former Philadelphia real estate dealer, arrested in Atlantic City. The victim has been identified as Mrs. Mattie Schaaf, 51, Atlantic City, Fine’s friend and owner of the boarding house Fine patronized. Mrs. Schaaf vanished from her home a week ago. Express labels on the trunk showed it had been shipped from Atlantic City shortly after she vanished. Fine denied charges against him with such vehemence that he collapsed of a heart attack. While he was being treated at Atlantic City hospital, a warrant charging him with murder was issued. The charge was based, police said, on the address of an Atlantic City luggage store found on the trunk in which the body of the victim was found. Fine was said by police to have admitted he shipped the trunk to Philadelphia.

GRAIN FUTURES SHOW GAINS IN LIGHTTRADING Weak Cable News Offset by Strength in Securities Market. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March B.—Firmness in stocks and the cold weather offset the unsettled Liverpool market and wheat gained fractionally as the Board of Trade opened today. Trade was rather light and the advance was not large, but there was little pressure at the start. The advancing sterling exchange upset Liverpool quotations and accounted for the loss there. Corn was nearly steady, but had an easy undertone. Oats was quiet and steady. Liverpool Sells Off At the opening wheat was % to ti cent higher; corn was unchanged to 3 i cent lower, and oats % cent higher. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was considerably lower than expected, showing 1U to 1% cents off at mid-afternoon. A remarkable advance of around 7 points in sterling was the cause mostly. The continued cold weather over the winter wheat belt has led to apprehension of crop damage, but the situation has not been backed by aggressive buying as yet. Reports indicate that many sections are without snow covering. Corn Receipts Down Receipts of corn at primary points have dropped sharply since last Friday which has had a strengthening effect on the cash market. Cash sales, however, are so small that bulls derive little comfort from them. The activity in rye has detracted from the interest in oats. The former grain is being aided by the export demand, especially from Germany. Oats have been quiet and holding to a narrow range dictated by wheat and corn.

In the Cotton Markets

(By Thomson * McKinnon) NEW YORK, March 7.—Cotton has ruled a shade easier In light trading. Liverpool was lower than due, but there was buying by trade on opening here which prevented a decline on cables. There was no particular news. The tone of the market continues firm on light offerings and trade demand. CHICAGO —March 7 High. Low. Close.
