STOCKS DISPLAY
IRREGULAR
TONE
Interest Confined to Small VOL
uEne of Rail and Industrial
Stocks in Early Trading.
BY II. j. DUIZEND.

NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-SpecuIa-
tive interest in the stock market in
the first two hours today was con.
fined to a small volume of railroad
and industrial stocks, chiefly those
which had been conspicuous for
their activity last week. Week end
hfgz ne orders in the commission
houses were smaller than usual, and
offerings were accepted only at
lcr e. prices than at the close on
Saturday.
Domestic business developments
over the week end were generally
favorable and foreign cables offered
some hope of finding a basis Of agree
ment on reparations. First prices
on a number of the active issues
were fractionally higher. but the
excess of selecting orders turned
the tide in the direction of >lower
prices, and recessions of point or
more were shown at the end Of the
first hour.
The strongest sections in the
stock market, in the early trading,
were the chemical and the sugsr
stocks, most of which exceeded
their best previous price records for
the movement. Dawson Chemical
went to new high at 42&, and Vir-
finia- Carolina Chemical preferred
sold more than a point higher.
Gradual improvement in the
sugar trade has been reflected in
the steady advance in the stocks of
leading companies. Rejecting the
firm position Of the market for raw
sugars today, American Sugar Re-
filming sold nearly two points higher
at 637s, Punta Allegro was up y
at SLY, Cuban American one point
at 27% and Cuba Cane preferred
two at AZ.
Profit-taking in Erie stocks ac-
counted for the losses of one to
two points in the common and pre-
ferred stocks. Chicago and Alton
preferred was in demand at frac.
fionaIly higher prices. The higher
priced rails were generally unsteady
notwithstanding that July earnings
statements issued today were uni
Sornnly favorable.
Oil stocks were generally steady,
though fractional declines were
made on a small volume of sales by
Cosden, Pan-American and Pro-
ducers and Refiners: Most of the
sales of United States Steel and the
independent steels were made at
advances from the previous close.

creased Activity.

NEW YORK. Aug. 27.-Higher
prices are looked for in the stock
market by prominent New York
brokerage houses, according to their
market letters, excerpts from which
follow:
j. Frank Howell: Notwithstand-
ing the seasonal inactivity Of the
market as q whole. there are many
satisfactory signs Of an approaching
betterment, which should result
In higher prices in the near future.
Goodbody and Company: II stocks

without large volume we would
favor, as we have for some weeks
past, the gradual accumulation o.
good securities on weakness. 1f.
however, the average advances
gradually from this point to above
the July high, we would expect q
fairly well sustained advance to de-
velop.
Clark Childs and Company: The
short interest in the market appears
larger and more widely distributed
than for months before. It seems
OF every professional character.
Secor. Reynolds and Company:
The time is not here yet for the
next seasonal liquidation to set IN

ing that has been moving prices up
recently has become exhausted. and
active stocks here and there will
get setbacks Of several points. That
Ii why we still recommend buying
on such setbacks but for turns
only rather than sell short" on
bu1ges.
A. J. johnson and Company: We
look for higher prices during the
next few weeks, but would suggest
that purchases be made only on
good reactions.
J. s. Bache and Company: In con-
sidering the situation both IN

COLLECTIVE
SELLING
Individual Competition to Be
Eliminated for Cooperative
Marketing Methods.
BY MERRYLE s. RUKEYSER.
(CopyriRhted, 1928, by Star Co.. Inc.
and Distributed by Cosmopolitan
News ServicO.)

(Copyrtghted, 1873, oy star C0:s A"S
and Distributed by Cosmopolitan
News Servtce.)
NEW YORK, Aug. 27.-American
farmers, temporarily abnormally
burdened by disproportionately low
prices for wheat and hogs, are seek
ing to attain that full measure OF
prosperity through cooperation
which they have failed to get
through the years as competing In
dividuals.
The cooperative wave since the
war has swept with great rapldltv
through the agrarian sections. The
issue is not whether collectivism In
marketing is better than individal-
ism, but rather whether the coop
eratives, with experts watching
worldwide developments affecting
prices, are not able to bargain more
efficiently than isolated individual
farmers, far removed from the open
public market places.
Baruch Is Advisor.
Bernard M. Baruch, who became
chairman of the Ward Industries
Board, after having annassed a
fortune as a Wall Street operator,
has acted as unofficial advisor to
the farmers in the launching Of
their new marketing machinery.
and has sought to inlpart to them
some Of the spirit and methods Of
big business.
Under proper direction, co.opera-
tive organization can unQuest1on-
ably improve marketing methods,
but, as DIR. Benjamin M. Anderson,
economist of the Chase National
Bank, recently observed, changed
marketing methods In agriculture,
however excellent for the long run
future Of agriculture, are feeble and
irrelevant remedies for the present
acute agricultural DISTRESS" which
he attributes to excessive or un-
balanced production.
The extent Of the growing move
ment is revealed by the fact that
there are now more than 10000
local marketing associations I'm the
twelve central western States which
sell livestock, grain, dairy products.
fruit and potatoes.
State Regarded AS Unit.
Recently there has been a ten-
dency to regard the State as a
unit for cooperative agencies. In
C}@-operative movement has not
made much Roadway. but on the
Pacific coast. especially in Califor-
MIA. 1t has gone further than in
any other part of the country.
In the South the development Of
cooperative Selling organizations be-
gan in 1919. The associations ex.
tend all through the section. in
stead of limiting their activities to
one State. They market chiefly
tobacco and cotton and fruit and
vegetables to a lesser extent,
In New England and the North
Atlantic States the co-operatives,
except the dairy associations, are
chiefly local in character and deal
primarily with milk. fruit and
vegetables.
