ment requirements. In many local
tiles money is a drug on the mar
ket. The slight seasonal tighten
ing will doubtless be experienced at
crop moving time, but taking the
fall season as a whole money thru
out the West and South should
come nearer to the New York
market level.
SIN the investment market, prices
of good bonds promise to rule
strong this fall. AS investment
capital accumulates the interest
rates ease off, bond prices auto
matically rise. As profits and in
come increase, the non-taxable is
sues will again be in demand. The
affect of commodity prices will be
more than offset for the time be-
ing by the quantity of money
available. Continue to hold your
bonds.
Whether or not we shall have
a reaction in the stock market this
fall is not the point. We may get
the break that the bears are hop
ing for or stocks may climb sud-
denly. The point of Importance,
as see it, is the fact that we have
just turned the corner at the bot
tom of a period of depression and
that the stock market has never
reached its. high point until early
in the period of prosperity. Those
who own good stocks outright need
do no worrying about the market.
In spite of rail and coal Difficult
ties, general business as reflected
in the index of the Babsonchart is

RUSSIA IN NEED 0F
 MACHINERY SUPPLY
Other Material Is Also Necessary
 for Industries

Moscow, June 22.-Russia needs a vast amount of machinery and other material for the upbuilding of her in- dustries, but instead of flood, the incoming streams of supplies are tiny and hardly make any impression on the actual needs of the country. Had the Genoa conference agreed upon an
 international loan to help Russia. conditions in this regard might be much more favorable today. it is pointed out, but as it is, soviet off, cials are saying: "A little water is welcome in a desert."
 Up to the present time the German Russian agreement signed at Genoa has not been followed by any great economic cooperation betweeS the two countries, nevertheless German salesmen, German experts and Ger man scouts for German capitalists are arriving in Moscow in constantly in ereasing numbers Every train from Riga brings dozens Of them and they are scattering to the four corners of just look around, Some of them re- turn to Germany disgusted with busl- ness chances. Others stay and dv business.
 Foreign money is coming into Rus sia in driblets, and foreign industrial ists, particularly German, are accept ing concessions with a measure of control by the bolshevik government.
 Herr F. Shottack, charge daffairs of the German mission at Petrograd, has announced in the Isvestia that a Russo-German chamber of commerce is to be organized at Petrograd.
 Aid For Russians
 Germany" he said, Twill give Rus sia technical help. I am of the opin- ion that Russia and Germany can re- establish their economic life by their own efforts"
 This feeling of Herr Shotteck is shared by many soviet officials with whom the correspondent has talked. They never had much hope, after they learned that America would not par ticipate in Genoa. that they could ex- pect any immediate economic help from the allies.
 The Russian foreign trade depart ment and the supreme economic council discontinued many negotia- tions with individuals seeking conces- while the Genoa conference was in session. These negotiations are now To be renewed
