NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
weekend trade reviews were favor
able, telling of further progress to-
dustrial situation. But this was
ignored as an influence for the day, at
least.
So was the further recovery in the
foreign exchange, which extended
again to German marks. The trading
element was simply figuring that the
market, despite the outside improve
ment, had had a sufficiently extensive
rise to warrant some sort of setback.
Operations for the decline were
helped by the cut announced yester-
day in gasoline prices and by the
question as to whether the company
had been able to secure a further ex-
tension of it's $4,5O0,000 loan.
Oil and related shares. especially
Mexican Petroleum and General AS
phalt. sold down sharply and other
speculative leaders were offered down
half a point to a point.
But there was no serious weak
ness.
The final trading was dull and the
close fairly steady, with small net
losses, as rule, on the day.
German marks left off over 10
points above their recent low at 1.01
cents.
United States Food Products.
When United States Food Products
in the last half hour yesterday broke
through it's former low Of Is, it was
quite evident that something was
wrong.
The reason for the sudden bidding
up of Industrial Alcohol was also
made apparent.
1t was an attempt to get a better
market on which to sell United Food
by creating a diversion in stock
which often in the past has moved
sympathetically.
On March IA it was announced that
$1,5OO,000 CT the bank loans of &c.
100000 outstanding at the first of the
year had been paid off, and the re-
mainder extended for three months.
On June IA a second three-mOnth
extension was obtained.
This latter period of grace has now
expired. and the story going around
today was that trouble had arisen
over the further extension OF the
loans
1t was the unfortunate investment
OF the wonderful whisky profits in
the Sugar Products Company which
did the damage in the Food Products
situation.
The company has also been hard hit.
however, by the decline in the price
of Industrial Alcohol from around
$1.15 gallon under 80 cents At
the latter figure it is doubtful if busi-
ness could have been taken except at
loss. The fact that there has been
no Improvement in the sugar outlook
and very little, if any, in the alcohol
outlook has. of course. made the
financial problem of the company
more difficult.
COns0iidated Distributors
Fresh selling came into Consolidated
Distributors, which pushed the stock
below one dollar. This COMPANY.
which was formerly the Times Square
Auto. was put in the hands of a re-
ceiver this week. 1t showed assets
considerably above liabilities. The
stock caused quite furry about two
months ago, when it moved steadily

dition.
1t is now believed that the stock was

a CONTINUATION or RAINS

ing moisture badly, and everything lie
looking good and everybody feeling
good in consequence. Rains have u
wonderfully soothing and quieting
effect when they come just when badly
needed and when endurance seems at
the point Of breaking. Too much rain
is not altogether good but, with our
sandy loan, we a stand q generous
supply. We still maintain that, with
proper attention, our lands will prc-
duce as great, or greater crops than
other sections. II we do our part. ma
ture will do hers. We produce with
less effort than most sections. Let us
apply concentrated effort and note the
result. Our soil is drouth resistant to
a marked degree and while rain usually

come just before it is too late. 1t
scarcely ever fails TO do this. No.e

DISASTROUS FLOOD DEvAsTATEs
PUEBLO

The daily newspapers have carried
startling accounts this week Of havoc
wrought by disastrous floods in the
Arksnsas and Fountain river valleys,
Devastating Pueblo. Colorado, and de-
stroying lives and much property in
smaller TOW nj and on farms, in the
valleys. The first flood came Friday
night carrying death and destruction
in its wake, and was caused by a cloud
burst in the mountains, between Colo
RADIO Springs and Pueblo. Almost the
entire business section Of Pueblo was
flooded aud hundreds of residences in
the lowlands were swept away. Bridges
railroad tracks and even passenger
trains we're carried away by the food
and stores, rooming houses, and other
buildings crumpled with the on-rush
of the mighty waters. The death toll
will run into the hundreds and prop
erty losses will reach $40, Goa, 900 90. A
second flood came Sunday with torren
tial rain falling in the vicinity of Pue-
bio and the giving was of the Skagway
and Shafer dams, near Florence. The
conditions are frightful beyond de-
scription, as reported 10y the Associat-
ed Press, and more horrible than ii il
possible to conceive without being an
eyewitness to the tragedy. The en-
tire city, not reached by the flood
waters, Is being modified to care for
the refugees and outside help is being
rushed to the u~nfortunates Just as
quickly as the almost impossible SON.
diticn Of the roads will warrant.
Not a train a reach Pueblo, the
closest approach being five miles dis
tant, and highways have been render
ed almost useless but by heroic effort
the situation is being kept we'll in hand
and relief measures are going forward
with almost miraculous rapidity. State
and National help is being rushed to
n devasted section. The American
Red Gross is on the jolt and, as in every
calamity, is doing great service. The
Hood waters are the highest in forty
years and the damage one of the great
est ever wrought in the United States,
being second to the terrible Johnstown
flood Of 1889 when the whole town OF
YOUNGSTOWN. Pa, was washed away and
$500 lives lost. Pueblo is a food-ruin-
ed city. a seething mass Of mud in
which floats hundreds of bodies of hu-
man beings as well as thousands of
livestock. Pestilence is y grave dan
ger. The city is under martial law
and no visitors are allowed to enter
except those coming to help in relief.

guire years from which to recover.
