All that one can do now Is TO as
semble some Of the productions that
have been promised, rumored and dis
cussed. What follows IS scarcely q
complete guide TO the theater. IL does
not pretend to be complete or definite,
since The Tribune cannot book plays
into New York theaters for the pro-
ducers. Veteran booking men say that
there are mighty few Of the eity's
more than fifty thesters definitely set

many more than half dozen at the

Curb Market
BY STUART II. WEST
(CopyfighS. 1884,

New York, Aug. Trading on
the curb exchange today was mod
erately active but with few features
except in the motor group. 1t be-
came known that the federal court
had denied the plea to postpone dis
posal of Alan Ryan collateral on
Wednesday. This includes about
1850 shares Of Stautz Motor. This
stock became active, opening at Is
and selling up to 16A but substan-
TALLY it dropped to lax and hung
just above this figure the remainder
OF the session. WHY'S first pre-
ferred gained more than four points
on the news that agreement had
been reached between WHY'S Over
land and WHY'S Corporation by
which claims against the former
company would be settled by pay
ment of $750,000. Standard Oil of
Indiana was more quiet than in re-
cent session. 1t sold between 1881
and 100 most of the time. Atlantic
Locos continued strong. making a
new high for the present move
ment at II, and substantial gains
was made by Standard Oil of Ken
lucky and Ohio Oil. Others of this
group held their recent gains. Cities
Service issues were practically ne
elected around their former close.
New England Fuel after opening up
a point lost the better part of this
gain. Maracaibo assumed the &C
tive leadership Of the independent
oils, reaching II on heavy buying
orders and a good demand appeared
for Mutual and Simms Petroleum.
Profit taking continued in Phillip
Morris. British-American Tobacco
and Tobacco Products Exports
were quiet and steady. Todd Ship
Yards got down almost ~ points
at one time while Goldwyp Pictures
and Hayden Chemical were slightly
higher. Lima Locomotive was less
active but held the better part of
its recent gains. Dubilier Radio
was strong and recorded fractional
advances.
Boston and Montana featured the
mining department, selling OF a
good fraction on profittaking.
Bonds were fairly active and slight
ly higher.

feature in the corn trade was the
buying of December by strong
houses. some of it for short ac-
count. September rallied with the

Goodman at 1907 900, 600 bushels.
Trade in oats was quiet The mar
ket firmed up with corn. Trade was

New York, Aug. The move
ment Of bond prices today Was d.
vided between q continued rise in
many Of the railway issues and
steadiness In the United States and
foreign government loans, with the
exception Of French securities,
which were heavy. The activity OF
railway bonds particularly the
more speculative reflected the re-
cent favorable traffic reports
which was an expression Of conf
dence that the railway and coal
strike was near at hand. Most OF
the lower price rails either bettered
or equalled their previous high
prices of the year. st. Paul tours
of 1925 touched a new top, and the
convertible ANS crossed seventy.
The Missouri, Kansas and Texas
adjustment SIS when issued, Sea-
board Airline consolidated 6's, the
Fries, and the St Louis and San
Francisco issues were all active
close to the record levels estab-
lished in the last fortnight or ear
lier in the year. New York Central
refunding SIS were feature, get
ting above 81 for the first time in
1922.
In the industrial list the Sugar
bonds remained active. Cuba Cane
Sugar SIS went to their highest
and the Cuba Cane rs also had a
sharp upturn. Punta Allegro sugar
rs rose slightly. American Writ
ing Paper 6's gained point and
Saks and Company rs continued to
go into new high territory. Con-
solidated Gas convertible rs fluc-
tuated within the range OF point
or more. Today was the last on
which holders, Of the bonds could
convert them into company stock.
The heaviness of French govern
ment and other bonds including
the municipals, was due to the I'M
settled conditions of French ex-
change and the general uncertain
ty involved in the German repara-
lions problem. Both the TVS and
SIS got to their lowest in some
time. The department Of the
Seine rs sank to around 81 and the
Paris Lyons and Med. SIS broke to
below 70. Bolivia SIS sold down
to a new low since their issue. City

steady although there was no ten
dency to bid up prices.

not give good footing for break
waters much further out.
At the proposed starting point
the soil is light and sandy for
slightly more than two miles from
Lake Superior, averaging 10 to so
feet above the level of the lake, the
report shows. The next three miles
are of rimrock, 50 to IS feet above
the lake level, and covered with a
light, sandy soil. South OF the rim
rock the land slopes down for a
distance Of more than a mile to
about four miles Of low. swampy
land from which a small river runs
to headwaters of the Escanaba bay.
This Lake Superior and. Michi-
gan canal would not cost more
than $4,000, 900, as no expensive
dam would be necessary" Mr.. Den
ison said. This 'rimrock' and
locks would form the dam. The
extra water at the locks could be
used for electric generating, and
this, together with the tolls on
boats and freight going through the
locks both ways would easily pay
the canal cost and operating ex-
pense in 10 years"
The engineer proposed that the
work be done in the summer and
estimated that it would take two or
three summers, as there would be
great difficulty during cold wealth
er. He pointed out that from Lake
Michigan boats could go into Lake
Calumet for an inner harbor. and
il the Illinois drainage canal were
changed for boats, they could go
thence to the Mississippi river and
down to the Gulf of Mexico.

New York, Aug. The market
for cotton cloths was almost at a
standstill until noon in anticipation
of the publication of the govern
ment report on the raw cotton crop.
Buying Of sheetings and standard
print cloths became fairly brisk i'm
mediately after the government es-
innate placing the yield this year
at HAS, geo bales. This immedi-
ately impaired firmer ton to gray
goods which advanced in price but
the volume Of business following
the announcement was not large.
Buyers hesitated while trying to
estimate what response consumers
might make to any striking ad-
vances in the price of cotton goods.
The raw silk market was irregu-

more active than it has been re-

Boston, Aug. 1.-The movement
OF wooden goods which has follow
ed the opening of the 1923 lines by
the American Wooden company and
others had sustaining effect on

but was not productive of much
active trading. The interest in ter
ritory woods continues. however,

experts how they can stamp out the
pest and clear up the breeding
places in central and other city

their best for the suffering public
by printing suggestions Of how
they may be kept out Of the homes.
The department stores are deluged
with orders for screens and net

hausted all Of their available sup
