FARM BUYING POWER.

This week, however, cotton, corn: oats,

each week since the last week In Au-

the greatest this year.

The trouble OF the oil producers in
the past two years have accentuated
the movement toward bringing tot
gether some of the important oil comt
panies as a means of protecting themt
selves against small producers. The
oil trade, like the soft coal industry,
has been suffering from overproduction
and from too many unmanageable pro-
duction units. The turn in the trade
from the standpoint of earnings came
during the Summer and it has permit
ted some of the companies that showed
greatly reduced earnings in 1927 and in
| the first half of 1923 and poor balance
sheets, to exhibit statements that are
attracting not only speculative. but m
vestment interests. It is expected ;i'at

will continue and will lead to the re-
sumption of dividends by number OF
the companies that were compelled To

NEW YORK. November 5.-On the
eve Of election the bond market slowed

the past 10 days.
1t was among the industrial issues

Barnsdall stock. the 6 per cent con-
vertibles naG an early advance OF over
four points. which carried them above
140. to a new high price level. The
bonds ex-warrantS were also firm.
other oil issues did little either way
The copper convertible issues were quiet
with sagging tendency in Andes Cop
per rs, which are now off about 13
points from the recent high.
Z A weak spot both on the exchange
and in the curb market was found in
the paper group International Paper
IS declined further in carly sales, and
at 80 were off points from the high
of the year. The first mortgage 5s were
down the same amount. The Abitibi
Power SIS, which were brought out
early last Summer around 95, have de-
clined to 85 At the same time the
preferred stock of the company has
dropped from 1927 to rs. This has
been one of the most unfortunate pieces
of financing of the year. especially
as it involves a very large amount of
capital
High-grade issues were steady but
quiet There were advances in the
United States Government group and
in the better types of railroad bonds.
The most interesting announcement of
the day was that of the application of
the Atchison to issue $30,204, 900 of Az
per cent convertible debentures. Those
are to be offered to Atchison stockhold-
ers at par and are convertible after De-
cember /, $780, into common stock in

of financing the Atchison has done in

policy of the road in obtaining new
capital through the medium of con-
vertible bond.
Seaboard Air Line issues were stead
Ter after the sharp reaction in all of
them last week. during which they eX-
perienced an average decline of over

decline. the dollar increased in pur-
chasing power by rs of cent to 1921.
The wholesale price index is the lowest
since June, 1928.
The dollars purchasing power rate
of change within the past 81 weeks has
never amounted to more than 8-lO OIL

latter being the only time 1t has been

This relative stability near normal
however, cannot be considered perma-
nent while the gold standard is allowed
to work at cross-purpoSes with creoit

FOREST WEEK IS
 GIVEN BOOST BY
 AMERICAN LEGION

To help convey the spirit of American Forest Week, the Ameri- can Legion Post of Juneau has placed an interesting and educa- tional display in one of the large window cases of the Juneau Young Hardware.
 The center of the display is the cross section of a tree grown in Southeastern Alaska, which was fourteen years old when Columbus discovered America in 1892 An interesting group of pictures shows airplane views taken in this district by the aerial mapping ex- petition which was here two years ago.
 Two other picture groups are in the window, one illustrating the Forest Products Laboratory at Madison, Wisconsin, and the other showing the natural industries of Alaska, especially the lumber in dustry.
 Wood samples finish the dis play. There are several plain samples of wood, a bundle of box shocks, a piece of piling filled with worm holes, illustrating one of the ravages, and piece of log taken from the glaciated forest area near Mendenhall Glacier.
