MINING CONGRESS TO
 MEET IN SACRAMENTO
 LATE IN SEPTEMBER

SACRAMENTO, July 25-World economic conditions will rest, in some degrees, on the deliberations of the twenty annual convention of the American Mining Congress at Sacramento, from September 29th to October 4th in view of the range of topics for speeches and discussions appearing on the tentative program for the convention just issued by the Department of Mines and Mining of Sacramento Chamber of Commerce, which is in charge of arrangements for the gathering.
 Problems covering every phase of the mining industry will be discussed. The magnitude of these and their bearing on business conditions gen. erally in the United States will make the Sacramento convention the most important in the history of the min ing congress.
 The program calls for addresses and discussions on federal and state tax ation of mines; financing of mining enterprises; regulations for sale of mining stock; prnhlnnns ~f the gold

and silver producers; possibility of in ducing Europe to re-introduce silver as basis of subsidiary coins ;opposi- tion to government in business; oil shale development; tariff on minerals, particularly lead, zinc, manganese, and tungsten; lower freight rates for mineral ores; federal legislation to bar the destruchop of gold coins; an- tigrading laws and conservation of timber in mineral regions.
 In addition there will be held na- tional conferences on coal, standardi- zation, oil shale, taxes and industrial cooperation.
 Leading men of the industry are being invited to participate in these discussions and the presentation of expert testimony will make the con- vention clearing house for the lat est developments in mining.

THREE HEAVY TRAIN LOADS
 OF ORE HAULED OVER ROAD

The third heavy trainload of ore from the interior, consisting of eleven cars, came over the hill last night ac- cording to reports, without doubling or stopping on the hill. This is all the proof necessary that coal can be hauled successfully between Anchor age and Seward over the two summits without trouble ,and should do away with all of this talk of tunneling to Portage Bay and that the railroad will never be able to haul loads over the southern division.

OLD KING TUT WAS IN A RUT

Three thousand years ago there
lived an Egyptian king named
Tut-Ankh-Amen. 1t sounded like
a stutter and the gang at the
Luxor Gulf Club called him
Tut.
When Tut reached the cake
eater age and got his hair plaster.
ed back right, he died. Dying
was one of the favorite Egyp-
tian indoor sports and King Tut's
death was a major event. They
shipped him into a swell tomb in
the Valley of the Kings.
Three thousand years later a
party of shoppers dug up Tut's
tomb and all the junk buried
with him. The advertising men
took charge of Tut and in a few
weeks have given him a rep
which makes Charlie Chaplin look
like a last years almanac in COM
parison.
Dead for 5000 years! Lost
Forgotten! Then Bang! Adver-
tised-and a whole world hollered
for news of Tut.
If advertising can thus put life
into a Dead One-what can't il
do for a Live One?
They could have dug up hun
dred Tuts in the desert and if
they kept the news to themselves
only the bald-headed historian
would have ever known it.
You can have the best mer.
chandise in the world. But if the
world does not get hep to it, then
business will sleep along peace
fully. Remember Tut.-Exchange

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Oct. S0.-The cotton market today was decidedly dull and fluctuations followed a limited range downward. There was moderate liqui- dation on the easier tone after Liver pool and on the tendency shown by au- thorities to increase crop estimates. The man sustaining influence was the satisfactory report from a trade stand point of the British election and the be- lief that Liverpool will advance when the full significance of the voting is known.
 Right after the opening call prices ral- lied to points above the previous close. The market eased off around the middle of the morning on liquida- tion from 21 to A points down from the earlier highs. From these levels, which were the lows of the day the market rallied slightly in the afternoon but continued dull to the end, the close showing net losses for the day of IS points on December and to F points on later months.
 Advices from the interior reported an easier spot basis but 1t ewas reported that New England spinners bought free ly in New York. Exports for the day totalled 36,3S2 bales.
 The New Orleans exchange will be closed Saturday. NoyemberS1. being. a legal holiday here, All Saints Day.

BONDS ARE FIRM
 BUSINESS DULL German Loan Payments Aggregate More Than
 Hundred Million

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-An abundance of money at lower rates imparted a firm tone to the bond market today, although trading continued dull. Wall streets
 supply of funds was sweiied consid<s erably by the payments for the Ger than S100 ,0000, 900 flowing into the of-' fees of J. P. Morgan & Co.
 Distribution of the funds for deposit in other banks, creating large Gern1afa balances here, Is expected to accentu- ate the ease of money and so become an important factor in investment buy ing of bonds.
 This situation was reflected to some extent today in steady accumulation of high grade issues. Standard investment railroad liens, such as Atchison adju4t- ment fours, New York Central 6s, Union Pacific first As and Northern Pacific refunding 6s and 5s ID" were in de- mand. Selling of several low priced rail bonds failed to depress the general tone of this group. ,,
 The influence of the conservative vic tory in the British elections and the re- sultant rally in sterling was shown in the upward movemnt of United King dom 51ss of 1929 and 1887, both of which sold around the years highest levels. Liberty bonds and other foreign obliea-s tions were steady.

WHEAT DISPLAYS
 SAG TENDENCY
Lun In Purchasing Of Corn Tends To Weaken
 All Grain

CHICAGO, Oct. 3o.--with export de- mand light, even for deferred snip ments, the wheat market today display ed a downward tendency from the be- ginnings. An unexpected Hull in the purchasing of corn was also source of weaknes for all grain values. Wheat closed unsettled 1& to 2%c net lower; December 14% to 14%c and May $1.47b @147M. Corn finished $ to 11sc down, oats K@%c to %c down and provisions varying from 7c decline to 1Oc tgain.
 Fairly general selling, together with evidence that buying power was lack ing, developed quickly in the wheat market, the fact being apparent that the Liverpool trade was unresponsive to yesterdays advance in grain prices here, and that aggressive support here for corn had largely disappeared over night. Word of the failure of grain firm at New York was another bear ish, element. Besides the big stocks of wheat afloat for Europe received con siderable notice and so likewise did the liberal volume of the United States visible supply total.
 A little recovery from the days low est prices in the wheat market came from profit taking upon the part of the sellers. Something of an offset, how ever, was a report that there was diff ficulty at Kansas City in finding ele- vator room for continued arriVals or wheat here, despite asserted prospects of a let-up in receipts.
 Although disappointing returns from husking were again numerous, the corn market showed little buying activity ex- cept when prices underwent "a setback. On the other hand, offerings became scarce during declines. Oats chiefly re- flected the action of wheat.
 Most of the time, provisions were easier, in line with hog values.

STOCKS DEVELOP
 FAIR STRENGTH; :: TURNOVER GAINS
Sears-ROebuck Is Indivi l. ual Feature, Soaring
 Over 6 Points

NEW YORK, Oct. 30.-Stock prices developed moderate strength on a slight ly increased turnover in todays mar ket Net gains in the popular rails and industrials ranged from small frac- tions to 2h points, Sears-Roebuck was the individual feature, soaring more than 6 points to 1219s, its highest price in four years.
 Buying for both accounts was influ- enced by the overwhelming victory of the Conservative party in the British elections, which accounted for the un- usually heavy demand for sterling ex- change, which was carried above $4.52 to the highest price since last August.
 Reports of improved trade conditions and large current earnings were re- sponsible for the continued accumula- tion of mail order and merchandising Issues. Associated Dry Goods was lifted to new high for the year at 122B on predictions that the 1924 earnings will approximate $20 a share. H. R. Mallinson was bid up to 2s% and then eased to 2s, for a small fractional gain on the day. Hartman corporation and May Department Stores improved slight Iy, while Woolworth climbed more than a point to no. Montgomery Ward held steady around 39.
 Steel shares developed a slightly bet ter tone, United States Steel common moving up about point to 10Sb and Republic gaining 1h. American Can was the strongest feature among the so- called pivotal shares, showing net gain of more than points at 133.
 Rails. were mixed but mostly higher. Atlantic Coast Line advancing 2h points and gains of point or more were re- corded by Union Pacific, Katy" pre- fsrred "A," Missouri Pacific, New Or leans, Texas and Mexico and Pittsburg and West Virginia rights" the last named touching a record high at Il. American Tobacco touched another \ ing also was noted in North American, Limited States Cast Iron Pipe, Bosch Magneto, Atlantic Refining, Davison Chemical, International Harvester, Loose -Wiles Biscuit, United Drug and Worthington Pump.
 Fresh weakness cropped out in the sugar shares, American Sugar Refining common and preferred establishing new 1924 lows at 36 and IT., respectively. Heaviness was also apparent in General Motors, Manhattan Shirt and Yellow Cab Manufacturing.
 Except for the bouyancy of sterling and the sale of Canadian dollars at slight premium, there was little of in terest in the foreign market. French francs continued to rule just below 5Ac and the other European rates showed only nominal changes.
 Call money fell back per cent, re- ports being current that proceeds of the recent German loan were being tempo rarily employed in the call money mar ket. Time money and commercial rates were unchanged.

 After declining 1 to points, raw su- gar furtures rallied on covering and trade buying, influenced by reports that Europe was inquiring for the new crop Cuban, and the continued unfavorable labor situation in Cuba.

COTTON QUIET RANGE LIMITED Final Tone Barely Steady With Losses Of 6 To
 II Points

NEW YORK, Oct. 3o.-The cotton market was generally quiet today. Priced moved within a range of 25 to 3O points. After selling to 23.66c at the start, January declined to 23.t0c, but recovered part of the loss, closing at 23.4sc. The final tone of the market was barely steady at net declines of to Il points.
 The market opened steady at an ad- vance of to 10 points on the steady showing of the early Liverpool cables, the advance in sterling and expectations that the British elections would be fol- lowed by increasing activity in Man chester and Liverpool. Some trade buy ing was reported on the advance to 23.50c for December and 23.95c for March, but there appeared to be q lit- tie hedge selling accompanied by re- ports of a slightly earlier spot basis in the southwest, and the market soon turned easier under realizing or scatter il liquidation.
 December sold off to 23.27e and March to 23.65c, making net declines of about fl to 21 points, but trade interests were buyers on a scale down and the mar ket ruled generally steady during the afternoon. D
 A private crop report published before the opening estimated the condition of the crop at 55.7 and the indicated yield at 12,304, ,000 bales, but later there were rumors of another report pointing to a coming government crop indication of around 12,900,0 900 bales. Neither figure appeared to create much trading inter- est and local brokers attributed a good part of the days business to evening up of accounts for over the weekend or election day.
 Private cable advices reported spin ners calling and London buying in the Liverpool market, with offerings of actual smaller and spot quieter.
