Lord Robert Cecil turned the criti-

justification for his visit to America

accomplishments.
Lord Robert overlooked entirely the
fact that Mr.. Porter had refused to
meet him to discuss the opium traf-
fic, and confined his letter to an ex-
planation of what the league had
done in this direction. saying that the

league was the only convention In

STOCK MARKET

ACTIVITY
Trading Dull and Price Move
ment Narrow in Today's
Short Session.

News Service.)
NEW YORK, Oct. is.-As could
reasonably be expected. today's alb
breviated session on the stock ex-
change furnished not many points
Of interest. Transactions were of
q typical holiday character, many
large traders being away on a
weekend vacation. Price move
ments were therefore of little value
in gauging the future trend. An
attempt was made in the first
part of the session to depress the
general price level under the in
fluence of further price cuts in
crude oil and tires, but hardly any
long stock was brought out, and
early losses were quickly made up,
especially in the oil group, in
which resistance to pressure was
more pronounced.
Not much Importance, however,
was attached to the improvement IN
the second hour. Buying for long
account was conspicuous by its az.
sence; in fact, revival of construc-
tive activities could hardly be looked
Tor, in view of the failure of the
autumn trade to develop into an ac-
tive affair. The weekend mercan.
tile reviews did not give much en-
couragement in that respect, Dun
stressing the tendency in different
quarters to defer important commit
ments because Of existing uncertain
ties" It was evident that whatever
rallies occurred was the result of
short covering, which again tapered
OF before the close.

Servce)
NEW YORK, Oct. 13.-Unsettle-
ment in prices and apathy on the
part of traders again characterized
the stock market this week and
the trend of market was definitely
toward lower price levels. In the
championship baseball games and
the holiday yesterday, the stock
market encountered such COMPETE
ton that trading was brought al
most to a standstill, and profess
sional activities ruled the big trad
ing center.
Industrial developments during
the week were mixed, and their
effect on stock market sentiment
therefore confusing. In many lines
of merchandising the snap has ap-
parently been taken out of the buy
ing movement, and mercantile
agencies again report a hand-tO-
mouth policy on the part Of the
Jobbers and retailers.
Over-pPoduction in the tire in
dustry was reflected in the erratic
course Of stocks of representative
companies during the week, Kelly
springfield preferred losing IOur-
teen points in single session.
General predictions Of a sharp de-
cline in automobile production for
the balance Of the year created
heaviness in the motor shares.

generally inactive, with a narrow
margin of price changes. The buy
ing demand in this section of the
market was sufficient to absorb
both the liquidation and the short

IMP ROVE MENT
NOTED IN
BONDS
Quick Subscription to Several
New Issues Is Most En-
couraging Feature.
By MUNROE ROBERTS.
Copyright. 1929, by Cosmopolitan
NaWR Sarvica

NEW YORK. Oct. 13.-In con-
trast to the ragged appearance Of
the stock list, the bond market DUR
ing the past week showed notice
able improvement. The most en-
couraging features was considered
the quick subscription to several
new issues. This development led
to speculation as to whether this
success would result in a steadily
increasing output, especially of
public utility securities, issuance OF
which was held in allegiance for
some time. Both Investment bank
ers and dealers expressed satisfac-
ton at the outlook, though recog-
nizing the necessity of safeguard
ing the market from being over
flooded.
The eagerness for new flotations
to some extent limited the demand
for listed bonds. The tone, how
ever, was steady, especially in
prime issues, which felt the influ-
ence of institutional buying, occs-
stoned by the desire to find pro-
fitable employment for funds lately
returned from commercial channels
because of the slackening of trade
activity.
Issues Work Higher.
The Liberty loan market was no
longer influenced by the soldiers
bonus question, and accumulation
for British and sinking fund ac-
counts became once more. a iactCr
in the price situation.
All issues worked gradually
higher, trading being brisk AT
times. No doubt a stimulus was
also derived from the expectation,
that the $751;, 200, 900 in interest to
Fourth Liberty loan holders, which
will be paid October Is, will DC
reinvested in Government issues.
There was little definite political
news from Europe hence foreign
government bonds remained station.
airy.
Speculative railroad bonds en-.
joyed intervals of pronounced
strength, but later in the weak a
slightly easier tendency developed
in sympathy with the heaViness IN
the stock market.
Dampening Influence.
The failure of the directors OF
the Southern Railway to act on
the common dividend had dampeE.
ing influence, apparently indicating
less confidence in the future than
was shown by the Baltimore and
Ohio directors.
A good deal of buying was re-
ported for European account, par
ticularly Holland, Switzerland and
Spain.
In the iTdustriai list there was
heavy trading in bonds of copper
companies moderately lower prices
Doubtless the sharp decline IN the
yellow metal influenced some sell
ing in these issues. The pessimisn
over the situation in the rubber ano
tire industry was reflected in a
weakening tendency for the bonds
of these companies other indus
trials and public utility issues
ruled steady.
