corn was higher. At Liverpool
wheat was down II to "a pence at
Q o'clock.
Here opening prices were:

Corn-July, 77hc; September,

Rye-July, 72%c.
Scattered selling met the opening
In wheat. On the initial break
there was buying by overnight
shorts. This sufficed to absorb the
surplus as general trading was
light. Corn started with buying by
local shorts. On the upturn the
September encountered some selling
and reacted. The oats trade was
small and featureless.

Strength Of Railroad Shares
Feature of Early
Trading.
By CosmopolLtan News seryiCe:

NEW YORK, May Z9.-W1th
nothing in the news developments
to influence prices on the stock ex-
change, the market followed an I'M
interesting but steady course In
the first two hours trading today.
Transactions were on a much re-
duced scale, rejecting the unwill-
ingness of traders to commit them
selves extensively until after the
holiday. At the start, profit-taking
was still in evidence in some parts
Of the Industrial sections, causing
fractional declines, but selling
pressure was soon exhausted after
which stocks easily regained their
lost ground.
Strength in the railway shares
was again the most important
feature of the forenoon dealings.
This was doubtless due to the pub

looked, however, that while the

ly Q points to 19A. The ability Of
the road to convert deficit of ST.
$4,000 for April, 1922. into a sur
plus of $744,797 in April, this year,
was regarded favorably.
Some strength was displayed by
the steel industry. Prominent
among them was Crucible Steel
which rose 3 points to u, on ru-
mors of dividend resumption in the
near future. United States Steel,
selling ex dividend, was fractionally
higher.
Activity in American Locomotive
and Baldwin which featured yes
terday's close, was not continued in
this mornings session, but firmness
IN both stocks was well maintained.
An advance Of about points in
California Petroleum to 1879. at
tracted attention in the oil group.
With the exception of Marland Oil,
which declined w points to 481s

N. Y. Cotton Market.

NEW YORK, May 29.-Cotton
futures were again firm at the
opening today with prices advanc-
ing from to 81 points. Demand
was most pronounced in the July
option, but the general tone was
quiet, due to the reluctance Of trad.
ers to enter into extensive commit.
ments until the publication Of the
Government report on the condi.
ton Of the new crop. The APP.
preaching holiday was another re-
straining factor but steadiness was
in evidence, due to higher Liver

conditions in the belt.

October at 24.90, up II points; De
cenber at 24.43, up 8 points and

DETROIT, May 29.-Talk of even

dustry which has been setting such
a record pace recently, naturally
being distasteful to those engaged

reasonable to expect that there

the talk of reduction, hesitate to
comment. However, there are three

Conservative expectation OF

of the finance division of the
Department of Commerce, said
today.
Advantageous III Limited.
Export of capital will be ad-
vantageous If kept in proper limits
and covered by sound loans to
stable governments and reliable
enterprises" Jones declared.
Continued development Of our
own resources will require the
major portion Of our capital saw.
ings, but when this need is satisfied,
governed by sound foreign loan
poicy, capital invested abroad
should bring us material return"
Jones pointed out important
factors in the present prosperity
are the restoration and improve
ment of the transportation system
and a tremendous construction pro-
gram to meet the building shortage.
With these abnormal needs satisfied,
he said, industry must seek a new
stimuli, which necessarily should

Jones doubted If Europe, even If

excess Of production Of United

Therefore" he continued, I'VE
must look to newer countries, whose
natural resources await the magic
touch of foreign capital for develop
ment. Wide opportunities are open
to American capital in various parts
of the world in development
machinery and in the goods which
developed countries will constantly
demand"
Jones contemplated a big return
to United States in raw materials
needed by American industry such
as tin. rubber, sisal, nickel, coffee,
tea, sugar, wool and woodpulp, the
domestic production of which is
insufficient to meet the demand.
Aid Also for Europe.
Development of newer countries
would create markets not only for
American goods. but for those of
Europe, and thus improve the
economic position Of our European
Debtors" he remarked.

lows:
THE United States is the worlds
chief source of floating and fixed
capital. The United States has
reached a stage of economic de-
velopment where a portion Of this
capital can be profitably exported.
THE development of industries
demands that if they are to be eff

tain portion of their production
must be exported.
1.-THE industries have become so
that they must draw on

Of materials. Development of such

Evidence i'm Statistics.

EVlu0uCc LII STATISTICS.
Corrobative evidence of the speed
ing up of production is also found
in the current statistics on employ
ment and car loadings.
When workmen are busy, things
are being done, and the faster they
are turned out the larger the re-
quirements for transportation.
Loadings of revenue freight on
American railroads according to
the weekly reports Of the American
Railroad Association are now break
ing records for all time and show
ing advances of from 10 to IS per
cent over the same period in 1921
and this notwithstanding the facl
that supplementary transportation
facilities, including the motor truck
and the waterways, are also being
utilized to the utmost.
