NEW YORK. July 12.-There has
been no decided tendency toward
wage reductions in the United States
since January /. State and federal
employment bureaus reporting from
different sections indicate that fact

wheat and cotton to levels above
those recorded at this time last year.
The indications are that despite the
setbacks. the agricultural commun-

BALTIMORE, July II (SpeciaD.-
Daniel Willard denies the report that
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad is

the report probably was started by
conference which he held some time

Aeronautical Co., during which the
feasibility of air passenger service
was discussed
mfr. Peterson came in to see me-"
Mr. Willard said, land offered me in

nothing came of it. The Baltimore &

or inaugurating an air service at this

MANY NEW HIGHS
ON CURB EXCHANGE
Interest Centers in Special
Stocks-Ford of Canada

By WILLIAM +. HEFFERNAN.

Special Dispatch 10 Ihe star.
NEW YORK. July 12.-New high
records were numerous in today's
operations on the Curb Exchange. but
the demand for stocks was by no
means general. 1t centered in issues
which were being bought for special
reasons.
There was nothing particularly
significant about the rise into new

except perhaps the volume of shares
involved. This might have indicated
that powerful interests were accumu.

and there was talk OF the formation

The demand for Cuneo Press com.

large contract, which would mean

GALES REVOKES ORDER
EXCLUDING u. S. MINISTER
Rev. Edwin Van Eten, Episcopal
Clergyman. Admitted to Mexico
After Being Halted.

MEXICO CITY, July 12.--In re-
Spouse to representation by the
United States embassy, President Cal
les has personally ordered the immi-
grafton authorities at Vera Cruz to
admit an American clergyman, Rev.
Edwin Van Eten, Episcopal minister
Of Pittsburgh. who upon his arrival
at Vera Cruz aboard a Ward Line
steamer from the United States was
denied admission. This denial was
based on the immigration regulations
barring foreign ministers of religion
from Mexico without special govern
ment permission.
The embassy on Saturday made in
formal representations to the Mexican
foreign Office regarding the clergy
man, and yesterday afternoon received
a verbal message from the foreign
office that the matter had been re-
ferred to the President, who had made
an investigation and ordered that Rev.
MIR. Van Eten be admitted.

Buying Power Higher.

General business activity supports
the above conclusions, since the vol
ume of purchasing now is shown by
bank debts and other indicators to
be about Z per cent higher than a
year ago. Naturally there will con-
tinue some dullness during the heated
Summer period. But business men an.
ticipate a fine expansion of buying
with the advent of Fall and a big holt
day season.
A 4000-mile automobile trip just
concluded by a trained observer
through all the States east of the Mis-
sissppi and north of the Mason and
Dixon line showed crop conditions IA
vorable, but not more generally favor
able than in Minnesota, Wisconsin and
the Dakotas. In fact. the situation
in Minnesota, the Dakotas. Montana
and parts of northern Michigan and
Wisconsin is brighter than for the
country as whole. Corn is causing
the greatest anxiety at present, but
even this product is advancing fast.
The damage by floods has been by
no means made up, and the retail
trade of the next few months i'm the
South will feel the effect of this and
OF the lower cotton production, al
though cotton prices have advanced.
The steel industry seems certain
to experience marked recovery
from Summer dizziness, with conse-
quent high buying power by workers.
The building and building material
industries are favorably situated,
although some skilled men are out of
work in certain sections.
Some Sections in Good Shape.
The late reports indicate that re-
tail stales will be exceptionally fine
in New England, the Middle Atlantic
States, the North Central and Pacific
Coast States. Some uncertainty OBJ
tains in the South Central and noun
tain districts and in the South Allan
tic sections, although even in these
latter districts trade seems likely to
be up to that Of 1926 and in certain
centers above the last years level.
In New England, the tool. ma
chinery and jewelry plants and other
metal trade activities are expected to
speed up as Fall approaches.
Business is on a higher level than
in 1926 in the Middle Atlantic States
and general purchasing power is suf-
ticient to lead to predictions of an
advance of per cent in retail sales.
In the Middle West no drastic in
dustrial recession is in sight and,
while the corn crop is still an I'M
known factor, the predictions are for
sales volumes per cent above those
of year ago.
The industrial prospects on the Pa
cific Coast are sufficiently encour
aging to lead to predictions of
healthy advance in retail trade run
ming from to Is per cent above
the 1926 level.

MACHINERY TRADE.

NEW YORK, July ~ H).-In more
than one section of the country there
has been a moderate increase in the
demand for machinery and shop
equipment. Inquiry has picked up
slightly, in Cincinnati, Detroit and
Chicago, American machinist reports.
Taking the industry as a whole, sea-
sonal influences are being felt and
there is tendency on the part of
users to purchase for urgent needs
only.
