NEW YORK. June 25.-The curb

test today with the element work
ing for higher prices. gaining little
If any advantage. Operations had
reached a stage where there were
no new incentives in the outside stu
alton upon which to base further at
tempts to bring about higher prices
in the main body of stocks.
But at the same time there was
noticeable reluctance on the part
of the element favoring a reaction
to take advantage of absence Of buy
ing power. The result was that
trading fell off in the volume with
the price movement without definite
tendency.
Mining shares. which have been
comparatively neglected for some

prices. Utah Apex continued to feel

Optimism Over Business Outlook Failed to

Commodity Prices-Forecasts Belied.

Is to be wheat yield we'll above the
average. 1t is doubtful, in the light
of this experience. whether the pro-
moterS of the curtailment Of the cot
ton area will meet with any better
success.
How is all this going to affect the
general business situation. especially
In the South? 1t is this part of the
country which led the way four years
ago toward a restoration of trade pros
perity. If we are to have a continu-
ance OF very low cotton prices another
eight months it will surely fall upon
the buying power of the cotton States
and In this way make itself felt upon
the business total.
Money Rates Steady.
There Is no trouble about credit
conditions. Time money is more
freely offered than it was a month
ago. Call money keeps about the
same and this at the season when
under the old regime New York re-
serves were being exhausted by the
crop-moving demand and money rates
were accustomed to soar.
French and Belgian currencies have
done little during the week, but some
interesting movements have happen
ed elsewhere. The continued recov-
cry in Italian lira has denoted conf
dence in banking circles in the pro-
gram Of the Mussolini government.

noticed on the part of Norway to re-
turn to a gold basis The Norwegian
kroner has been going up at times
quite rapidly. The three chief requi-
sites for resumption Of gold pay
ments after a paper currency has
been deprecated are balanced
budget, a favorable trade balance and
complete cessation Of further paper
issues. Norway appears to have sat
isfied these requirements.

First Mortgages

1t has been good many years
since the first man borrowed money
from another, pledging his real
estate as security, and during that
time the development of the idea
of the First Mortgage has passed
through many stages In the days
of not so long ago, the transaction
was purely personal one between
borrower and lender, with the
necessity of the latter having to
look after all the details, including
the value of the property securing
the loan.
Today, the modern investor NAV
purchase a First Mortgage note
through Swartzell, Rheem & Hen
sey Company, with the assurance
that all those details have been
looked after, and with the knowl-
edge that he will receive the in
terest promptly On the date due
and that the principal will also be
repaid without delay at the date
of maturity. He knows his money
is safe and being looked after with
all the care which fifty-seven years
of experience has afforded.
And he also knows that the in
terest he will receive each six
months will be at the rate of 61aNo.

Cotton Outlook Cnfavorable.

No let-up has taken place in the
railway freight movement, which re-
mains close to record proportions.
This insures another series of excel
lent earning statements for September
and October. What will happen after
that is open to question.
With all that has been said by way
Of reinsurance to the cotton growers,
the fact is that cotton prices are very
low, and in most sections probably
below the cost OF production.
Banking aid can do a good deal to-
ward holding the surplus Off the mar
no amount of help from the banks
can force a more profitable price level.
This was shown in the wheat trade

Railway Earnings Not Affected.

It has not entered into railway
earnings, which have been built UP
on an unusually large volume of gen.
eral trade throughout the country
and upon reasonably remunerative
rate structure. Nor has it entered
as a factor into the general dis
tributive trade, where in most lines
there has been success in earning a
substantial return either through a
more economical handling of great
business total or through raising
prices sufficiently to meet higher
costs.
But in the case of the railroads and
merchandising stocks almost every
thing favorable that could be said
about the business of these companies
had been discounted by the extensive
advance of the Summer months. Some
of the dividendpaying rails we're
put up to levels which meant a lower
interest return than was offered on
bonds which outrank them. There
has been a lot Of talk about dividend
increases and stock dividends, but so
far little has materialized. COnse
quently in the railway section, despite
the investment buying which went
on two and three months ago, a
sweeping readjustment was called for
which would get prices back to an in
terest basis more In line with general
conditions.
