The gods who manage the stage

in carrying out the popular man
date Of bullishness, have pro.
ceeded with singular wisdom. TO
the politician the spectacle may
have seemed insane speculation,
but the unbiased analyst has seen
abundant evidence Of selection
and discrimination.
A safety valve at the market
place has been the disposition to
treat stocks by groups-to whirl
them upward while conditions
seem propitious, and then to dis
card them. For years the copper
stocks were unwanted. Then un-
der the spell Of rising prices for
the commodity, the copper shares
became the center Of bull manipus
lation. For months earlier In the
year they were the chief vehicle
for those who aspired to get rich
quickly.
At length, the possibilities in the
coppers were exploited and over
exploited, and for considerable
period after a setback they have
been left alone-more or less.
Until early this year the motor
stocks were the chief favorites in
the bull cycles since 1922, but 4Or
weeks they have been out Of IA
vor. Fears of overproduction, now
that Ford is fully in the swing,
have cooled speculative ardor to
such an extent that It is perhaps
time to wonder whether the now
viewpoint is not perhaps exagger-
ated.
The overwhelming success OF
President Hoover at the polls par
ticularly favored public utility
stocks. as his political adversary
had threatened tighter public con-
troll. Rails, which were neglected
in 1928, returned to favor in May,
after the Supreme Court rendered
the st. Louis and O'Fallon deci.
sion.

stock in the form OF unit certificates
representing one share Of preferred
and one and one-half shares Of COM

In addition, the Allied company IS

also is selling to Tri.Continental Cor
poration 150 900 of the common

common for cash. The Allied com.
pany will receive, as proceeds of to-
days issue, S5e.000,0 900 in cash, that
being equivalent to 200 per cent of
the par value of the preferred stock.
Interest in the local produce mar
ket is heightened today with the
reports of investigators of crop con.
ditions in nearby Maryland and
Virginia. Some Of the sections
nearby have been rather hard hit
by an excessive dry spell while
other sections have received more
than their share of rain.
The tomato crop, according to
reports reaching Washington today
will be exceptionally heavy, but Is
not expected to reach the production
mark set in past years. The potato
crop, it is explained, in some sec
tions has been hit by the inclement
weather and consequently boosted
the prices in the retail markets.
Some Of the potato growing sections
of Maryland and Virginia will de.
liver to the market their usual
quota Of. the ''spuds" but other
sections will not be able to market
as much, due to the smaller crop.
1t is said that the corn crop is
slightly smaller than in previous
years but this Is expected to affect
the market but slightly. Other
crops will probably be about the
same as in previous years.
Bids are being sought, according
