We have had a market today that was
distinctively useful. There was an alb
sence of uniformity. There were stocks
that were strong and some that were
weak. Some declined because Of a weak
technical position, some because Of hqui-
dalton.
Mexican and Pan-American PetrOleums
were sold because imaginary development
did not materialize.
Liquidation continued in United States
Food Products and In the corn products
Finally, general selling developed
throughout the list with recessiOns re-
sultfng some moderate, some severe.
We have recently had a rise with con-
siderable short covering. Now we nave
a weak market in which a short interest
may again be created to be followed by
a rise again under n different market
from what we have had during recent
months.
Prices are down to hard times basis;
We are Notwithstanding depression ana
the depression may not last very long
There are still weak spots In the mar
ket but there has been so much nquld3-
ton that much that was unfavorabie mas
been corrected.
We do not anticipate further decline
from this level. We are rather inclined
10 the opinion that we are in the midst
Of traders market, which may CON
tinue for several months, and AFTER sew
eral DAYS Of selling we Will be IN a POSI-
ton for another recovery.

different than the methods in this
country. The little smiles and cour
tesies of France are not usual in the
United States. Social functions and
customs of this country would be
startling and would produce unhappi.
ness to the average French woman.
1t is just as well that these French
women have gone home. They left
memories behind which could not be
eradicated. The revolution was too
great.
The French people are more at
tached to their home country than
are any other people. Their own Ian
guage sounds SO sweet to them that
all other languages are rough in
sound and ~get on their nerves.
French brides and French women
might find something that would in
terest them An Louisiana, but not
anywhere else in the United States.
The average French woman would
want her husband to become French,
and that would be impossible.
