 The principal event of the meet will be the Pulitzer trophy race. In which fliers will contest for S4,OO0 In cash prizes and trophy, which IS the emblem of superiority in the air so far as speed is concerned. The trophy now is held by Lieut..

over the greater part of the belt was warm and dry. The crop was menaced by the first hurricane of the season at one stage and at another by the storm to tho northwest of Texas but neither disturbance moved near enough the belt to do any real harm.
 According to private accounts. picking went ahead rapidly and the official figures showed substantial increase in the movement. The re- suit was large hedge selling. Spot markets were rather quiet but there was much talk of a large end of the month export movement out of Texas.
 With bureau day Tuesday of this week, interest increased in estimates of the condition of the crop and the yield indicated by the condition. Private bureau reports ranged in their indicated crop figures from 10,143,0o0 bales up to l1,467,0o using the governments acreage figures as the basis of calculations. Condition

visitor to print it. The man replied that he had not the means; he had, he said, only an assured income or S100 a year. with which, however, he was content. Franklin thereupon had it printed on his own press, and gave the author as many copies as he desired. No one, however, says Franklin. paid any attention to 1t.
 The interesting part of the tale. which is told by M. Aulard in the current Revue de Paris Is that the author, Pierre Andre Gargaz, had been a galley slave, and that his project had been elaborated, and an other an spelling reform actually published, during his term or captlv- ity on board the Duchess at Toulon. Gargaz had also been permitted to write to Voltaire and to Franklin some years before his release. Frank lin indorsed his letter, Project Of universal peace. by q galley slave,
 and Voltaire sent back to Gargaz two of the facile complimentary couplets of which the great man was fond. Gareaz had been a schoolmaster. and was sent on March II, 1761, to serve 20 years in the galleys on conviction of murder. He had appealed, and

MANY FACTORS IF
 WEEK ENTER INTO BOND SITUATION
Railroad Earnings Statements Revive Better Demand
 For That Group

NEW YORK, Sept. 8o.-(By Asso- ciated Press. s.)-Withdraw of gov ernment support for the liberty is- sues, slightly firmer money rates, lower stock prices and uncertainty over the immediate results of Ger many's abandonment of passive re- sistance in the Ruhr were factors which worked for lower prices In the bond market last week On the other hand, the unusually favorable earn ings statements of the railroads for August influenced a better demand for adjustment and income issues in that group. Speculative industrial liens were in 5lined to follow the trend of the stocks.
 There was an increase in the num- Der of new bond issues offered, but the total of s17,657.000 fell below that of the previous week, when new of- ferings aggregated s27,201.000. Bond dealers reported some increase In inquiries for investment bonds and stated that individual purchases had increased. Most of such purchases leave the market and so into strong boxes, it was said.
 The unsatisfactory market condi- tions and disagreement between bankers and offering interests both influenced delay on several issues known to be ready for public offer ing. In the former category are two large railroad equipment trust oer- tificates which have been hanging fire for several weeks. State of H. linois officials have reopened nego- -tiations with bankers in an effort to place a S6,000,000 Issue of highway bonds, but no agreement has been reached as to the coupon rate, bank CTS holding out for A per cent. Pre- vious efforts to sell the bonds with per cent coupon failed to bring out any bids. The same situation confronts the state with regard to bonds.
 Announcement was made some days ago that a S6,000,000 loan had been closed with the republic of Sal vador and that the bonds would be offered early in October. The grati- flying response to the Canadian of- fering internally s172,000.000 per cent bonds has led bankers In New York to doubt whether Canada will enter this market for a loan. There Is talk also of a $f0o, 100000 loan to Japan to aid in rehabilitation.
 The largest individual offering for the week was s2,500,000 New England Power company first mortgage bonds. Other issues included s2,300,- 900 Standard Plate Glass corporation, S1,500,000 Monongahela West Pennsyl- vania Service company and $1,275,000 Maher Galleries company.

RESTLESSNESs IN MARKET REFLECT 5 US|NE DR|F I.
Stocks Of Goods Moderate, Consumption High And
 Credit Position Easy

NEW YORK, Sept. 3o.-(By Asso- ciated Press. .)-Restlessn and ir- regularity In the markets of last week were interpreted in financial quarters as reflecting uncertainty over the course of business. Most ob- servers agreed that while a good volume of industrial activity Is in prospect this fall, the pickup from midsummer dullness has been no more than what might be eXpected on a seasonal basis and that re- turn to the high rate of last spring is unlikely. The view prevails that the spring boom represented urgent buying to replenish stocks which had been depleted during the depres- sion of 1921, and that the volume of goods which Is now being carried by the railroads Is made up largely of deliveries of orders placed at that time.
 Consumption At High Rate.
 Nevertheless, 1t Is widely held that stocks of goods are moderate, that consumption Is high and that the credt position Is comparatively easy. In these important particulars the situation differs radically from that of 1919 and 1920. Business men have shown unusual caution in mak- ing commitment and reports from banking circles indicate that great liQuidity has been maintained in the working capital position.
 While business prospects are fairly good, brokerage houses feel that they are not particularly promising to en- courage renewed public participation in the stock market and with public participation reduced commissions 2 decrease. which creates pessimism In the brokerage fraternity.
 Under these circumstances much is made of isolated instances of over production, real or imagined. That such & condition obtains in the oil in- dustry is generally admitted. That it is also coming to prevail in the auto end rather marked weakness in auto mobile stocks Is explained on this basis. Despite seasonal slackening which Is now setting in, the produc- tion of motor vehicles this year is expected to reach 4,000.000 of which S,600.00o will be pleasure cars. This by far exceeds previous records.
 Steel Prices Unchanged.
 The other major industry regard heard is steel making. Pig iron makers have piled amounts greater than are usually accumulated before furnaces are blown out. Production of this commodity Is now about 15 per cent below the spring peak and acceleration of the decline Is looked for in the early future. In the steel
