CHEEKY war GOSSIP
SENDS STOCK UP
Basis for Gains. However. Seen in
Cheap Money Outlook.
By BROADAN WALL.

New York, June A-In the stock
market today there was such a de-
gree OF strength for a time that Wall
Street began to take seriously re-
ports Of a revolution in Austria.
This report was helped by the ex-
ceilent buying traced to houses with
foreign connections. In the after
noon there was q selling movement
due to reports OF a great naval bat
tie. The real basis OF the advanc-
ing market Is the greater freedom
the Cover G.,ent plans to allow to
business euteIprise and the cheap
money that market operators see
coming next week.
Steel shares were leaders, with U.
S. Steel up more than two points in
the morning In the afternoon Sloss
Sheffield. which had avdanced about
four points. received an extra divi-
dend of six per cent. There was
more talk among brokerage houses
Of some special dividend on U. s.
Steel, but no ofiicial verihcation OF
any such intention.
Oil stocks woke up. under leader
ship of Royal Dutch, which ad-
vanced more than six points. Amer
on the Exchange and Houston Oil
on the Curb were factors.
Copper stocks were all strong large
ly because of expectation that price,
fixing would cease in that industry.
Motors, under leadership of General
Motors. gave a good account of
themselves. Vide and Leather con-
tinued its advance. but a new element
has been injected into that situa-
tion. 1t seems that an important
Southern banking interest is Iiquidat-
ing the stock rather literally.
Announcement that price-ixing Is
to be largely abandoned in the grain
trade has been officially made. This
is one OF the first steps in the big
plan that has been matured for free
ing industry under the new tax sys-
tenn.

Says Holland.

A brief glance at the map which
was published q day or two ago by
the Chamber of Commerce OF the
United States tells q story OF the
concentration OF Industries of the
United States. briefly and concisely
and In such manner as would not
be possible II a column or more of
descriptive statistics were publish
ed. For fnstance-nearly all that part
OF the United States which lies west
of the Mississippi River Is included
In q single regional district. The
region Is numbered twenty and those
who are familiar with the history
Of our acquisition Of territory will
realize that in this region Is COM
prised. first, the territory which
was established when the boundary
line between the United States and
Canada was determined by treaty;
second, with the exception of Cali
fornia. all Of the territory which we
acquired from Mexico by purchase: +:
and third. much of the territory
over which we obtained sovereignty
by the payment to Napoleon of
S15,000.000 for the so-called
Louisiana territory early in the ad-
ministration of President Jefferson.
Industries. excepting mining and
agriculture, are not yet largely
established in this vast region. In
California Industrial activity Is so
great as to Justify the inclusion of
Nevada and Arizona with Califor-
mia as one of these regional dis
tricts.
The regional organization of Ameri-
can industry should serve as an ad-
mirable supplement to other efforts
which the government Is now making
so to perfect Industrial organization
in the United States as to prevent
further dislocation OF labor. the un-
necessary expansion OF plants, and
also to provide work for industries
whose normal output has been grad
ually reduced and which do not have
the opportunity to utilize their re-
sources in new Industries.
Some of the ablest business men of
the United States are now taking ac-
tive part in this regional organiza-
tion OF industry. Charles A. Otis, of
Cleveland, former director of the
Cleveland Chamber Of Commerce. has
been named as chief Of this section.

The organization. Of what may be
called regional industry seems to
