(By Prank MacMlllan Associated Press Financial Writer)

NEW YORK, Feb. 2—-Stock mer- ket prices slanted lower Saturday after an opening burst oi strength.

Trading was active at the be- ginning arld again at the close. and the ticker tape was unable to keep quite abreast oi the market on several occasions. The Assoc- iated Press average oi 60 stocks lost .02 of a point at 59.4 after re- cording a new top for more than four years in the preceding ses- sion. '

Turnover in the stock exchange was 1,758,972 shares, the best Sat- urday business since the third week in November.

Some oi the recent inflation sentiment appeared to be subsid- ing notwithstanding the advocau bya Congressional block of pay- ment oi the bonus by lssuance of additional currency.

U- S-Goverrlment obligations continued to rscede in the bond market, but in most of the issues losses were small. Corporate loans mostly dropped or added fract- ions, in a mixed market.

There was some hesitation ill the utility group as traders await- ed a possible Supreme Court de- cision on theTVA Monday. Pacific Gzls gave up a point while others down sizeable fractions included American Water stocks, Columbia Gas, Peoples Gus, Consolidated‘ Gas and American Power and Light.

Other losers on the day included Douglas, oii more than 2 points at 71 and National Biscuit, down ab- out a point at 33 7-6. '

Some oi the issues which gained 1 to 2 points or more were Johns- Mancillc, National Supply, United Carbon, U. S. Gypsum. and Buli- ard.

In the Canadian list McIntyre- Porcuplne declined 1 1-9 to 45 5-8. Fractional recessions occurred in Dome Mines, Lake Shore, Canad- ian Industrial Alcohol A, Ford oi Canada, Imperial Oil and Inter- national l-iydro-Elecfric Preferred. Canadian Pacific, Dominion Stores, Brazilian and Quebec Power were slightly higher.

New Lingerie For Wilted Wardrobe

NEW YORK, Feb. 1—The season oi wilting wardrobes is at hand. One simply hag to do something to revive them. Accessories are the easiest restcratives to apply, and goodnes knows the shops abound in accessories of all sorts and kinds at prices that ought to fit all pur-rs. Lovely lingerie accessories are being offered for the dress with open collar lino, as wcll as ior the dress with high one, over which one glimpses the flattering llrle oi white. M oi the new collar ef- fects are t cked or pleated, some 9N innocent oi lace, other; frothy with it. '

For the thrifty hand-crsiier deft with the crochet needle, and per- ticularly the girl who has been turning out those little ruffled col- lars and other forms oi neckwear this winter, in filet-mesh crochet, attention must be called to the new resort scsrfs and caps to match that are definitely designed for this type of crochet worker. Cotton and linen yarns have been most in evi- dence in the winter ncckwear men- tioned here, and they will serve. in a heavier twist, ior- the fish-net scarfs and cl?! that will inevitably come into. the crocheting fingers of many young girls who will wish to wear this set for beach and other sports costumes.

ANTIQUES APPEAL T0 QUEEN- MOTHER.

mrmoN. Feb. 2-—1t is pointed out that the Queen Mother, re- lieved oi certain court duties, hence- forth will be more free to pursue henown quiet hobbies. Needle- work and the collection of antiques, and especially fans, have been her chief avocations. She could seldom resist the temptation to look into every antique shop to which she came. Also she has been a confirmed shopper. Her personal ,urchase oi long "woollies" for her family a few years back was recorded around the world. Her ability to drive a bargain is known, and sometimes dreaded, by shopkeepers and clerks. Always she insists upon "buying British." Imported stuffs and ar- ticles had little appeal to her either as an Lnglishwomhn o; as the thrifty soul she always has been. '

Also she likes to read. Her mem- ory is stored with the results of this habit.
