STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN MIXED MARKET
Copper, Utility, Motor, Food
and Steel Groups Active
in Trading.
BY STANLEY w. PRENOSTL.
Associated Press Financial Editor.

NEW YORK, June Stock prices
continued to move irregularly higher in
today's market. Heavy selling develop
ed in some of the farm implement, mail
order shares and scattered specialties
in the early trading as result OF SEN
atorial attacks on stock speculation, but
strong buying support was quickly sup
piled, and the market subsequently raj
lieu under the leadership of the cop
per, public utility, motor, food and steel
shares.
The recovery was Influenced, in part,
by the bullish Interpretation placed by
many brokerage houses on the repara-
tions settlement and the growing conf
dence in the credit outlook. Weekly
steel trade reviews continued optimistic
in tone, Iron Age stating that pig iron
production in May, usually period of
seasonal recession, established a new
monthly record.
Commonwealth Power crossed 2l0,
and National Biscuit and Otis Elevator
mounted seven each before the list
turned downward in the final half
hour. The selling was heavy enough
to erase many of the earlier gains and
forced Chesapeake & Ohio and United
Aircraft more than points below yes
terdays close. International Harvester,
Wright Aero and Bendix Aviation lost
to points. The close was heavy.
Recovery at Opening.
Prices made irregular recovery at the
opening. Sale of a block of 10000
shares of Simms Petroleum at 81, up /,
and a new high record, was one of the
early features The purchasing broker
was NJ. j. Meehan, who also acquired a
block of 100000 shares at 80 few
weeks ago. American g. Foreign Power,
Bendix and A. M. Byers showed initial
gains of a point or more. One block
Of 10000 shares of Superior Oil changed
hands at 84, up "a.
Renewed congressional attacks on
stock speculation had depressing eff
feet on sentiment, and irregularity in
creased as the session progressed. Mo-
tor, accessory, oil, copper and public
utility shares presented several points
of strength, but weakness cropped out
again in some of the farm implement,
mail order and chemical issues.
One block of 10000 shares of Trans
continental Oil changed hands at 10,
off p. Wall Street has heard reports
that the back dividends on the prefer
red would be paid off, probably through
the issuance of new common stock.
Advance Rumely preferred, which was
in brisk demand yesterday, again rose
3 points. Radio Corporation, United
Aircraft, Montgomery Ward and ST.
Louis Southwestern all dropped 2 points
or more, and Sears-Roebuck, Interna
tional Harvester, Allied Chemical and
Pittsburgh Coal yielded a point or so.
Rail Group Quiet.
American International and Common
wealth Power recorded early gains of
points each. Motor and accessory
shares moved upward under the leader
ship of Packard Briggs and Marmon
Rails were fairly quiet. although At
iantic Coast Line and Missouri Pacific
common recorded early gains Of point
each.

Among the improvements on the field are:
Two runways $500 feet in length. (Another j. to be con-
structed by Pan-American and all three are to b paved Al
soon as some experiments with various types Of TOPPING. now

On top Of the building there is a large awning-covered OBJ

AirfieId Incorporated
"A special incorporation has been organized for the opera
ton of the airport and is known as an-America Airways,
Inc, of Texas. Col. 7. E. Gilmore, formerly member of the
Royal Air Corps of Great Britain, is manager Of the field.
One Of the most modern airplane repair and rebuilding

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1929-09-22

There were aerial circus stunts, parachute jumps, wing
walking-almost everything in that line a crowd could wish.
there were thousands Of visitors here from all South
Three tri-motored Ford planes flew in formation.
Texas and it was a two-day celebration which will live long
in the history of Brownsville.
Service was inaugurated on the first day of the festivi-
ties over three mail lines, two of them carrying passengers.
and a third separate passenger line.
The Mexican Aviation Co, Mexican division of Pan
American Anyways. Inc, started the route to Mexico City
handling mail and passengers.
Cooperation Aeronautica de Transportes, S. A., inaugu-
rated a line from Brownsville to Mazatlan, on the Pacific
coast in Mexico, also carrying both mail and passengers.
Texas Air Transport started an air mail route north to
San Antonio to connect with north and easthound air mail
there.
~Pan-American Leases
The same company also started a passenger line over the
same route with a stop at Corpus Christi.
Shortly after this Pan-American Anyways began negotia-
tons to lease the port. This company first asked for a lease
only on the second hangar, which had been erected at that
time. The city commission rejected this proposal when the
company demanded a prior option TO either buy Oh lease the
entire airport at any time the city decided to discontinue OPP
Grating it as a municipal utility.
After several months of negotiations a lease was signed
under which Pan-American acquired a ten-year lease on the
airport with an option for an additional ten years.
Under this lease Pan-American i bound to operate the
field as a municipal airport, %permittin all commercial lines
and private planes to use ii, and requiring them to supply
service to any plane.
Pan-American paid SO in cash for this lease and agreed
to spend within three years not less than 100000 for i'm
provements. The sum they can spend on the field within the
ten years is limited to 100000, this clause being included in
the contract to prevent the lessee making an investment 50
large it would prove burdensome to the city should it be nee
essary to take the field back.
Improving Field
At the expiration of ten years the lease price is to be set
by a commission of three persons, one to be named by the
city, one by Pan-Amercan and the third to be selected by
the other two.
Should an agreement not be reached BY this method the
city can take over the field by paying for the improvements
less depreciation at five per cent per year from the time they
are made.
If a lease is made for the second ten-year period all inn
provements revert to the city.
The improvement program provided for in the lease con-
tract already has been started by the Lessee. The first major
