FARMING INDUSTRY
IN i. S. SHOWS GAIN
Better Prices Give Agricul-
turists Higher Buying
Power.
BY J. C. ROYLE.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 5.--Wheat, corn,
fax, sugar beets, cotton, vegetables,
fruits and live stock did not cease to
grow during the Fourth Of July holi--
day, Consequently the agricultural
future business conditions. Industrial
and commercial operations naturally
were at a standstill during the national
holiday, except for repair work, and
will feel the effect for the remainder
Of this week.
Agricultural products, however, showed
no cause of business encouragement or
anticipation of sharply reduced farmer
buying power. The wheat situation has
been helped by the relatively poor con-
dition of the Canadian crop, although
the exportable surplus in this country
still is of uncomfortable proportions.
Corn and Live Stock.
Corn has q good start, and the price
of live stock remains high, so that the
prospect is bright for those who market
corn In the form Of meat. The sugar
beet crop is prospecting, but the situa-
ton for beet growers is complicated by
tariff discussions and the knowledge
that no tariff changes can become ell
fective until late Fall.
In many Of the fruit districts grow
ers are receiving from double TO four
times the prices for their frult from
Gamers than they received last year.
Cotton consumption is high and stocks
are low. That is good basis for the
cotton planters to start from at least,
despite the heavy acreage which next
weeks Government report is expected
to show.
The steel mills in most cases today
took up the load where they LETT on
July 3. Some plants, strained by Ca
pacity operations, may have TO give a
few additional days to repairs. Rail
road. steamship and barge loadings
naturally we're curtailed somewhat, but
this check will soon be overcome.
Metal Mining Outlook.
The metal mines will be breaking ore
at full speed again by tomorrow. The
outlook for the copper producers con-
tinues fine and the position OF the ENC
and lead producers is still strong. The
demand for metals from the radio
trade is likely TO be less insistent for
a time. since that line of industry IS
approaching the season which hereto
fore has produced slackentng OF de-
mand.
The tire manufacturers are still going
at close to top speed, for the replace
n1ent demand Is oScIQeuly Ilca'y. tiio
shoe and leather industry Is consider
ably exercised as to the tariff action
which Congress may take, but the
amount Of leather consumed seems
sure to be as large or larger this year
as in 1923.
As to retail trade. the week was a
short one, but merchants crowded
lot of business into the first three days:
There is q distinct tendency toward
department store consultations mani
fest, and this statement is not based
solely on the Macy-Bamberger merger,
which created a furry in the stock
market. The volume OF mail order
buying has risen to tremendous heights

PRICES ARE MIXED
. ON CURB EXCHANGE
Utilities Observation-Disclosures
Issues ACtive-AIumi-
mum at New High.
BY HARRY II. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 5.-Prices were
much mixed in active trading on the
Curb Exchange today. There was the
usual quota of new highs, but there
were also many declines, particularly
earlier in the week.
The utilities were highly irregular
Cities Service responded to published
reports that consolidation was planned
with Columbia Gas g. Electric by
making a new high. The merger, II It
takes place, however. probably will
affect principally the Natural Gas Prop
critics and not necessarily the electric
interests of the two corporations or the
oil activities of Cities Service.
Active Features.
Middle West utilities was another
strong member of the group, reaching
q new high at 219, up almost points.
On the other hand, United Gas I'm
provement was lower and so was Buff
falo, Niagara & Eastern. American
Siperpower which sells on an extraor-
dinarily high capitalization of earning
power, reacted nearly points, but 1t
had been going up so long that profit
taking was invited. United Light q
Power gained 2 points in the early
LraulIlSi put Ulu IlOI AOio Illc auFdiiCc.
Trading in the airplane group was
featured by an early advance IN Sikor-
sky Aviation on the report that nego-
tiations were in progress for its sale to
United Aircraft and Transport. The
higher price, however, brought increased
offerings into the market, and the stock
reacted below the preceding close. There
was no official comment on the merger
report. TranScontinental Air Trans
port was strong for time, and Detroit
Aircraft which 1t was announced today
acquired a controlling interest in Lock-
heed Aircraft, was steady around the
weeks high price.
Among the industrial features was a
new high for Aluminium Co. of Amer
lea Up Is points Another was the
strength and activity of United States
Finishing. which attracted attention be-
cause of it's affiliation with the textile
trade. MayfioWer Associates was another
active stock to make a new high.
Eewmont Gains.
Newmont Mining stood out in its
group with an 8-point rise, responding
to the better market for the copper
stocks in which it is interested. Noranda
was higher also.
Standard Brands, Inc, under which
name the new Fleischmann stock was
traded in today, equaled its previous
high on a large turnover while the old
stock on the big board was making a
new high. Advances were recorded by
Checker Cab and General Realty q
Utilities.

NEW YORK, July s.-TFae cotton
market opened steady today at an ad-
vance Of points to 4 decline Of !
point. There was some buying at the
start on the relatively steady showing
of Liverpool over the local holiday, re-
ports of rains IN the South and con-
tinued reports Of boil weevil activity.
These factors, however, appeared to be
Offset by a private report placing the
increase In acreage at SIS per cent and
the condition as Of July / at TAI
per cent.
Another private report placed the in
crease in acreage at "A per cent, which
was also somewhat above the average
OF previous reports and probably help
ed to unsettle the market. Offerings,
however, were not aggressive and huc-
tuations were irregular with the mar
ket ruling about / to points net lower
at the end Of the first half hour
The market remained very quiet later
In the morning, but after showing net
declines Of about 2 to 9 points, held
fairly steady On covering. Another
private report was published placing
the condition Of the crop at 7Go and
the indicated increase in acreage at
SO per cent, which was without ap-
parent effect on the immediate market.
Prices at midday were within point
or two of last Wednesdays closing quo
tations on the more active months.
