STOCK LETTER

NEW YORK, June 19.-Further re- action and uncertainty was in evidence in some stocks today, while others were actually buoyant. The mixed state of affairs was naturally attributed to diff ferent causes. Rubber and tire stocks became weak after the Fisk company announced 15 per cent cut on their entire line. y-Springfield sold down to a new low at 10%. Stocks in which the short interest is large were moved upward. Coca-Cola was one of these, 1t being easy to run in the shorts on the warm weather alone The rails easily maintained leadership on the up- side. The buying in Erie is believed to be very good. Motor issues are hold ing firner these days. Coppers pre- scented firm appearance. General Electric reached 236. Woolworth got to 102, although they failed to hold top prices. The whole market did very well considering the amount of profit-taking absorbed.-Fenner & Beane to Kahn & Virgin,
 NEW YORK, June 19.-Continued liquidation in Atlantic Refining, with no satisfactory explanation, constituted the conspicuous exception in a solid and substantial stock market today. The degree sof stability displayed, the ease with which the profit-taking sales were absorbed, the constant demand for lead ing issues both among the rails and in- dustrials must of necessity make a lasting impression on the minds of the people, because all of this occurs under business conditions that are unsatisfac- tory.-John F. Clark & Co.

I've want the men to know that those of us who are connected with the management always are more anxious to raise wages than to cut wages. But we want them to know that this can be done only if, through the combined efforts of management and wage earn CTS, production can be increased and costs reduced"
 He has explained to the men in diff ferent factories that the more costs can be reduced the larger will be the number of people in a position to buy what is produced and the larger, there fore, will be the earnings of the work CTS.

Are General Electric workers inter ested in reducing costs?
 Why, last year more than 5000 sug- gestions for improvement of methods of doing work were submitted by them. Fully 1,750 were adopted and total of $23 ,000 in cash awarded, the amount in each case being fixed in consulta- tion with the workers representatives
 As an illustra tion of how improved methods cut costs and lead to lower prices and wider consumption. incan- descent lamps may be cited. They are now cheaper than before the war, with the consequence that far more people can and do now use them.

In course of a conversatlOn about Gerard Swope, president of the Gen. eral Electric company, I learned that, since he stepped into this position two years ago he has spent quite a large part of his time in travelling all over the country to meet and talk with the employees at the big factories and branches, and that he had made a point of explaining very clearly to them the principles and policies of the company toward the workers. One point which he was particularly careful to empha size to the men was this:

IN the days when sport was spindly
 in the legs and sportsmen were ba-
 nana-figured, there were no clearly defined styles for different games. One dressed much as the leather-faced fish erman does-in any old thing or any thing old. Indeed, the tyro was almost ashamed to be well-turned-out lest the difference between his get-up and his game become too noticeable. Sporting clothes have had to take many a knock down from prejudice and ridicule be- fore they won "a place in the sun" Today the type of dress worn for ten his and golf and polo and yachting, >the rich mans sports, are as distinct from one another as clothes worn in the ball. room are apart from those worn in the backwoods.
 TOuch-and-go tennis is pre-eminently the young mans game, or, at least, you must have played it from youth up to keep it up. Therefore, the styles for tennis are essentially young mems styles with the freedom and flexibility that this sport demands. Instead of white flannel trousers, gray flannels are now often worn or white duck "slacks." The favorite shirt is that of white cheviot having wide elbow-length sleeves and a soft collar left open at the throat. A very practical garment is that made with shirt and drawers in one combination style. This prevents the shirt from riding up, as it has dis concerting trick of doing during play. Another type of shirt has a lengthwise

expanding pleat down the center for unhindered arm-swing and body-play. The tennis belt is of white webbing cloth or white silk finished with buckle and leather tongue. Brightly striped belts in blazer colors are also much worm this season.
 Coming down to hosiery and shoes, plain or ribbed socks of cashmere or worsted, not silk, should be worn. as silk is slippery and non-absorbent. Two types of white or brown canvas or duck tennis shoes are reproduced here-high and low. Each is preferred by some players. The low shoe, popularly termed sneaker" is more in use. The soles are rubber which makes them ex- tremely pliable. These shoes are five inches high and weigh only 15 to 19 ounces. Some high shoes are provided with achievements at the inside ankle. Only the best qualities should be cho- sen for comfort and wear.

STOCKS REACT
 ON BUYING LULU
Tuesday Sees One Of The Sharpest Setbacks Since
 Bull Movement Began
By EDWARD J. CONL0N
 fBy Leased Wire to Age-Herald !

NEW YORK, Aug. 12.-The persist. ent taking of profits, with the conse- quent Hull in investment buying, brought about reaction in the stock market Tuesday which resulted in one of the sharpest setbacks since the bull movement began. For instance, the net decline of more than five points in General Electric, which has been a prime mover on the upgrade, precipi- tated considerable selling among the industrials, steel common lowing a roint for the session.
 The bond market was also lower, with selling prominent in the foreign loans and in several of the active rail- road and industrial issues. Nor were Liberties an exception to the rule. A general relaxation of the demand rather than any undue pressure against the market appeared to be the cause for the easing in the market for govern ment obligations.
 Japanese Offering Sold.
 The offering and quick sale of the $22, ,O00, 900 debehture notes of the In- dustriaI Bank of Japan, which were guaranteed by the Japanese government, represented the first piece of Japanese financing done here since the exclusion laws went into effect. All of which would seem to point to the fact that when Japanese interests want loans they will go wherever the best terms are offered.
 The foreign exchange market was a disappointment to many, as the har- mony prevailing at the London con- ference has not been sufficient of it. ssIf to sustain foreign exchange rates very close to the highs established at the finish of the week. Sterling was down more than cent and one-half, with francs off about nine points. To a certain extent the success of the Lon don conference has been discounted by the foreign exchange market during the past several weeks, but slump in sterling to the extent noted bespeaks a considerable speculative following in the market.
 Wheat Stages Rally.
 The rally in wheat was ascribed to reduction in the Canadian crop esti- mates. Prices were higher all day, be- ing pushed higher at midday on reports of adverse weather in the Canadian wheat belt which caused firmer mar ket in Winnipeg. Corn and the lesser grains scored substantial advances. The Canadian report on oats served to stiffen the market. The estimate made the total crop only 37S,995, 900 bushels against 56S, ,997, 900 last year and off sets the indicated increase of ,39O, ,OOO- 900 bushels in our production.
 The cotton market was concerned chiefly with the weather map, and the market ruled firmer from the start on the continued hot and dry weather in Texas. Considerably more than pass ing shower is needed to break the drought.

4 s far as the general market is con- "A cerned, average prices are now
 above any prices reached since 1919, and only approximately four points below the high point reached at the elimination of that big bull market.
 To those students of the stock market who give weighty consideration to the technical condition of the market, that Is to influence within the market itself this progress to present high levels means that most stocks purchased any time since the bottom of the break can now be hquidated without loss. This situation, standing alone, suggests a possible source of increasing the float ing supply of stocks.
 But from an economic point of view too much consideration cannot be prop erly given to the level of general prices. Some of the stocks represented in this general average are much higher than they were at the last peak and many are lower than at the end of the de- cline which followed. Railroad and public utility stocks, as class, are higher than they were in 1919 and in- dustrials are lower. This does not nec- essarily mean, however, that rails are too high and industrials too low. The price of stock is determined by it's value, and values and prospects change
