March 17.—A slow recovery came into the stock market yesterday after thre days of decline. Volume, however, continued light with sales only slightly over the million-share mark. Pressure lifted on the automobile issues when it was learned strenuous efforts would be made Monday to avert a strike in the industry. Chrysler rose more tha na point and others of the group were up fractions to a point. Railroad issues were steadied by a favorable car loadings report brought about by a sharp jump in' miscellaneous freight loadings. The gain was larger than seasonal. Exceptions to the trend in the rail division were the Van Sweringen issues, notably those of Alleghany Corporation. The latter lost a point or more on announcement of the corporation’s plan to raise interest for the 5 per cent bonds due in 1550. New Plan Considered The plan is to ssue new preferred stock to the amount of the nterest on the issue from Oct. 1, 1934 to April 1, 1939. Holders of the bonds can turn in the ten interest coupons for that period and receive five shares of the new stock. That would make the stock cost them $5 a share. The new issue was quoted on the produce exchange at 27 bid with the nearest offer at 32. Silver issues rallied after their sharp break yesterday. United States Smelting advanced more than three points and others of the group were bid up fractions to a point. Aviation issues were given a bit of a whirl when Colonel Lindbergh told a senate committee army planes could not be equipped as fully as commercial planes; and that air. lines need temporary subsidy. Douglas advanced more than a point and United Aircraft a point. Store Business Gains Schenley continued to lead the “wet” stocks, rising 2 points on its Cuban liquor distribution. Zonite Products continued active and strong on its rights to distribute wines and spirits. National Distillers was fairly active and firm. Mercantile issues made small gains on improvement noted in retail trade. Estimates released today said business of the important chain store and mail order houses will present some sensational advances for the current month. Stock sales yesterday approximated 1.170,000 shares against 1,340,000 shares Thursday. Curb sales were 249,000 shares against 284,000 shares Thursday. Dow Jones preliminary averages showed industrial, 102.72, up .51; rails, 48.77, off .09; utility, 26.57, up .02.

Legislation forbidding owners of homes that are not fire-proof from obtaining insurance was urged yesterday by Dr. William E. Arbuckle, Marion county coroner. Dr. Arbuckle’s proposal came as result of his investigation of the deaths of Mrs. Edna Finch and her three daughters in their home at 1005 South Roena street. All four perished in the flames that consumed the house Tuesday. The coroner warned that such fires easily might occur again in Indianapolis. Similar views were expressed by state and city officials. Harry E. Voshell, fire department chief, said that “there are far too many homes in the city in which the owner keeps the property barely up to the standard of making it attractive to renters.” A1 Feeney, state safety commissioner, declared property condemned as a fire hazard should never be eligible to insurance. “It’s a miracle that more such fires don’t occur here,” Dr. Arbuckle asserted. He pointed out tliat firetrap homes similar to the Finch home exist both within the city and outside city limits which, set afire at night, would burn so quickly that sleeping occupants could net escape.

LIGHT BIDS ARE SOUGHTBY CITY Works Board Issues Order for New Contract in Next Year. Bids for anew light contract for the city of Indianapolis were ordered yesterday in a resolution passed by the board of works. The present ten-year light contract with the Indianapolis Power and Light Company expires in April, 1935. By law, the board is required to advertise for bids one year prior to the expiration of existing contracts. Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan said today that the city probably would not enter into another long-term contract with the utility company. “With conditions in an unsettled state, it would be unwise for the city to be bound by a contract for such a long period of time,” the mayor asserted. The city may enter into a contract for a one, tnree, five or tenyear period. In the event that the city did not sign another contract at the expiration of the present one, the public service commission probably would set the rates for Indianapolis, the mayor pointed out.

FUTURES CLOSE HIGHER DESPITE SHARPDECLINE Rain, Snow Forecast Over Spring Wheat Belt: Interest Gains. BY HARMAN W, NICHOLS United Pres* Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, March 17. Grain markets firmed yesterday after a weak start on the Board of Trade. A decline of abound i: > cent from Thursday’s finish was followed by a rally which carried the local price back to above the last close. Wheat dosed 3 s to cent higher; corn ranged from cent lower to H cent higher, and oats were *4 to % cent higher. There was some short covering in evidence on the way up, the rally in motor stocks on the New York Stock Exchange having some effect around noon. The weather forecast indicated general rain or snow over the greater part of the spring and winter wheat belt with the storm likely to assume blizzard proportions in some sections of the area. Argentina exported 18.000 bushels of wheat to the United States the past week but owing to the fact the American prices are regarded as somewhat below an import basis, it was looked upon as a special transaction rather than the forerunner of a liberal movement to this country. Corn and other grains slipped fractionally early but later recovered the loss when a wave of scattered buying set in. Provisions were easier with grains and in sympathy with a drop in hog prices.
