Curb Stocks Begin
TO Drift Again as
Activity Subsidies
Professionals in Control of
the Market az the Demand
for Issues Declines; Few
Leaders Still Hold Firm

The curb market definitely got back
yesterday to the professional character
that marked trading for several wseks
PRIOR to the upward movement OF last
week. Activity declined and With lack
OF demand prices failed to advance.
Recessions took place in some of the
more popular issues, but these were
of small amounts. In fact, f1uctua-
tlons were narrow throughout the
list
There were a few exceptions to the
general rule, Aetna Explosives being
IN demand for time. This stock, for
which application has been made for
listing on the Stock Exchange, moved
up to new high for the current move
ment of II. Buying of a substantial
character has been going on for more
than week and offerings apparently
are growing scarcer.
White Oil was generally firm on the
report that a new we'll had come in
unexpectedly in Oklahoma with an
initial production of SOC barrels of oil
and more than 100000 feet of gas.
General Asphalt was fairly active,
but quotations shifted ilregularly
most of the day. The stock sold down
90 ~" ao 10 T anu IeDOunueQ 20 10,
bat as in the case of other issues the
drifting gave little encouragement ex-
cept to the professional element. North
American Pulp and Paper and
Hercules Paper continued to show
firm undertone, based probably on
probable earnings in the present paper
shortage. Offerings continued scarce
in spite of the active bidding Of the
last several days.
Mining shares and bonds continued
quiet, with narrow fluctuations in most
of the prominent issues.

Against a Deficit i'm First
Three Months of the Year

A remarkable improvement in the
earnings of Lackawanna Steel was
shown in the second quarterly report,
issued yesterday, which revealed that
profits after charges and war taxes
Tor the three months ended June 80
were $l,88l,946 against deficit of
OF 1919 and a deficit of $40 ,72o in the
first quarter of this year.
The profits were equivalent to SIS SO
a share and indicated prosperous
period for steel companies. Favorable
reports, 1t is believed, may now be
looked, for from United States Steel,
Republic Iron and Steel and Midvale
Steel. The increase in untitled ton
mage was another favorable aspect of
vance from 122,399 to 49,, 267 tons.

pearing before tho American Bankers AS
ISOLATION he asks the bankers TO help the
farmers.
That is all the farmers desire. 1t is all
they have asked. The secretary. as we'll as
Mr.. Harding, governor of tho Federal Re-
serve Board. deliberately. it would seem,
lave misconstrued their appeals for assist
ance. AT no time, as body, have the
farmers sought aid from their banks. from
the board or from the Treasury for specu-
lative purposes All they have requested,
as has been set forth repeatedly. is that
credit which under normal conditions
would have been extended without Ques-
ton, but which in the last few months has
been denied, be granted to them now. This
apparently arbitrary Withholding of credit
has forced them between the devil OF
ruinous prices on falling market and the
deep sea OF bankruptcy If the secretary
really has seen great light, and is sincere
in his request that the bankers help the
farmers, there should be little further diff
fculty in relieving the tension OF deplor-
able and menacing situation.
To this recession from his cold aloofness
from the farmers. doubtless the secretary
has been impelled by revelations of the last
few days, foremost among which was the
statement of John SHELTON Williams on
Wall Streets oligarchical control of the
countrys money and the resultant failure
of the reserve board to keep the financial
currents in their normal channels. 1t also
is probable that the presence OF thousands
OF the country's bankers in Washington,
bankers who have their fingers on the pulse
OF their respective communities, has
brought about n clearer understanding OF
the agricultural problem and its marketing
needs. In nearly every case the local
banker has been willing and anxious to aid
but he has felt that his hands were tied
by what he at least believed was the de-
iiatioR policy Of the reserve board. That
restraint under which they have labored
row is removed by the secretarys request
that they give the farmer aid, and the credit
situation should soon return to it's normal
level
