A Difficult Matter

1t is always a difficult matter"
says the Stock Exchange firm of Nc
Clave e. Co, "to judge when deliqui-
dating market has run its course. In
fact. it is more so in judging the term
ination of a bull market. AS general
rule the termination of bull market
comes during wild period of specu-
lation. at which time there is consid-
cradle liquidation going on which is
not clearly shown until shortly after
the movement is over, but at the end
of a liquidating market you are very
apt to run into an extremely dull
period, during which time stocks are
bought by farseeing people, but in
such cases no effort is made to secure
stocks by bidding for them. They are
generally bought as they are offered.
During the past two weeks there has
been evidence of extreme weakness in
some individual stocks, which appeared
to be due to the calling Of loans.
thereby forcing pools to liquidate; but
during that period the average price
of securities as a whole has not made
any materially lower prices, and we,
therefore, think that the market is
commencing to show some signs of
stage having been reached which
is often indicative of the end Of big
liquidating market"

I'm Brief Session
With European Situation

Speculative activity ebbed yesterday
almost to the vanishing point in the
two-hour session at thc-~Stock Ex-
ccnange. The relatively few transac-
tlons were routine in character and
Iacking In significance. With the
european situation again uncertain,
there was little enthusiasm among
traders to take on new commitments
over the weekend, and consequently
nc real opinion was expressed in the
course OF prices as to the future of
security values.
Early in the session fractional gains
were made, particularly among the
railroads, but toward noon these ad-
vances We're to large extent effaced
ana IN some instances fractional losses
were shown. The tendency of prices.
Which had f1uctuated lanquidly, was
irregular at the close.
Actually, there was little excuse for
yesterday's session, except that the
calendar called for it. Those shorts
VINO deemed the time propitious for
covering did so for the most part on
friday, and the general policy yester-
day was to stand pat until Monday

Aspect of Report; Drop
of $4,000, 900 in Gold

Discount operations of the local Fed
eral Reserve Bank showed substantial
expansion, which, with a decline of
nearly S20,000,0OO in the gold reserves,
resulted in a further lowering of the
reserve ratios. The ratio of total re-
serves to deposit and combined Federal
Reserve note liabilities declined to 1913
per cent, contrasted with 1913 per cent
the week before, and 453 per cent on
August Is, 1919. The ratio of reserves
to net deposits, after deducting 40 per
cent gold reserves against Federal Re-
serve notes in circulation, was 37.3 per
cent, against 39.5 on August S.
favorable feature of yesterdays
sta tement was the large falling off in
borrowings by other Federal Reserve
banks on government war collateral
This figure at the close of the week
stood at S274,798, compared with Sl4,-
657 900 the week previous. Borrowings
on commercial paper decline in the
same period from $12,628 900 to s10,-
116,5S0.
Discount operations with member
banks of this district showed a sub
stantia upturn. borrowings on Lib
erty bonds and treasury certificates of
Indebtedness increased from S537 ,262,
900 to 1854 ,289 1888, while commercial
paper borrowings jumped from 1924
03l 900 to 1897 857 .2Ss. Purchases Of
bankers acceptances by the Reserve
bank, on the other hand, dropped in
the last two weeks from Sl34, Ste, 900 to
$109, ,4A3 329.
The chief cause ot the loss in gold
reserves was in the operation of the
gold settlement fund, which showed a
loss of $21 1852 900. Legal tender notes,
silver, etc, increased from sl19, ,528, 900
to 1923, ,996,174.

ing House banks showed further i'm
provement in their excess reserve, this
item at the end of the week standing
at $1S,575,730, contrasted with Sl5,1T1,-

counts, however, increased S10,365, 900

England Making Attempt
To Solve Housing Crisis
Construction of Thousands of
Homes Begun Shortage of
labor a Handicap

England's effort to solve her housing
problem has resulted according to sta
tistics just received by the Bankers
Trust Company from its London serv-
ice, in construction work being under
taken on about $4,000 houses as part
if the building campaign of the Minis
try of Health.
About 10000 of these houses are
.roof-high" or further advanced in
construction. Building by private en-
terprise is also making greater prog
ress under the stimulus of the govern
ment subsidy. Parliament has pro-
vided SIS 100000 TO be paid in bonuses
to private builders. The bonuses
range UP to as much as $500 house
and 456 houses have been completed
under conditions which entitle the
builders to subsidies Approval Of the
Health Ministry has already been
given to plans for the erection of a.
O3S bonus houses.
Local authorities are required as
part of the government housing cam
paign to submit schemes for the erec-
ton Of sufficient dwellings, to take care
of their working population. The num-
Der of building schemes so far sub
mitted for the approval of the Health
Ministry is 10 731. calling for the con
struction of SAB houses on sites
comprising 72,000 acres.
A shortage of workers is handicap
ping the building of houses. More
than 10000 additional artisans are
estimated to be required on the work
now in hand in England.

Small changes wer the rule in the

terday, and the stronger undertone
helped stocks slightly. Apparently
covering by shorts had not been com
pleted Friday, for buying from this
source was believed mainly respon-
sible for the rise in several prominent
issues which sold higher for the day.
General Asphalt continued to re-
cover from the slump of the week and

nearly 3 points up for the day.

Among the independent oils the
tone was irregular with Carib Syndi-
cate displaying about the strongest
front. This stock recovered to 13 on
good demand, extensive covering by

Foreign Vessels Bring
Most of American Imports

WASHINGTON, Aug. IA = Foreign
vessels brought nearly twice the value
of imports into the United States dur
ing the fiscal year 1920, as were carried
in American bottoms, according to a
summary made public to-day by TIL
Department of Commerce. Ten per cent
more exports were shipped in foreign
ships than in American vessels, the
summary showed.
Of imports totalling s4,7O6. .957 ,168
foreign ships brought in $3.50, $50 ,2o9
and American vessels s1,836 ,026,959.
Exports in foreign bottoms amounted
to 1892, ,59S,373, while in American
vessels the total was s., ,235, ,o79, ,O22.
Of the tonnage entering American
ports during the year, however, 50.06
per cent was American and 1924 per
cent foreign, while Of the tonnage
clearing from the United States 51.72
per cent was American and 4S.26 per
cent foreign

Steel Price Average Lower

The average price of eight principal
iron and steel products last week was
s84.4l a gross ton compared with $S5.0S
ton the week before and s7938 ton
on July 13. The most recent decrease
is attributed by 'The Iron Age" to
drop in the price of billets from s65 to
$50 a gross ton. Producers of billets
who have been unable to make ship
ments to regular consuming points on
account of railroad embargoes are
seeking outlets elsewhere and conse-
quently are making attractive prices.
There were advances in several prod
ucts not used in determining last
weeks average. For instance, pig iron
advanced 81 to S40.50 gross ton. De-
pletion of manufacturers supplies also
caused a run up in plain wire from
$3.50 hundred pounds to 1915. There
was also an increase of 80 cents a
gross ton in several classes of steel

The Equipment Stocks

Despite that the equipment stocks
are selling at much higher prices than
they usually did before the war there
are many in the financial district who
believe that they have fully discounted
the boom in their business which is
likely to result from renewal buying
on large scale. From 1908 TO 1914 in
elusive, with the exception of only
about two years, their business was
continuously depressed, but recent
estimates Indicate that they are assured
of boom in 1921 which will result in
a gross production of between $780,
100000 and S600,0O0,eOO

July Copper Sales

Foreign and domestic sales of cop
per for July were larger than for the
last three months, an estimate placing
the total at 100000 pounds. Of
this probably ore-quarter was for Oc-
tober, November and December de-
livery. In view of the unfavorable
conditions prevailing in other indus
tries the July shov- ing was regarded as
encouraging in the trade. 1t was
pointed out that if the European situa-
ton had not taken an unfavorable turn
and the increase in freight rates in
troduced new conditions to be dag
nosed at home, August buying would
probably have been quite strong, for
manufacturers of wire and copper
goods generally have larger business
on their books than for more than
year. In the face of present conditions
little new buying is expected for this
