MONEY
BRINGS BACK
GAMBLING
By B. c. FORBES

The ship Of business is sailing
along with all sails unfurled,
making very satisfactory speed,
with no rocks in sight.
The speculative sea has again
begun to boil Should the pace
become reckless. apprehension is
expressed lest q high.money reef
be struck. 1t should be added,
however, that fear of this is less
acute than 1t was earlier in the
year.
The second half Of the year
has proved unexpectedly good
thus far. The traditional July
recession in business activity has
not set in. Agricultural prices
have enjoyed rather substantial
recovery from their recently un-
reasonably low levels. The money
market is in distinctly easier
condition than it was two and
three months ago. Stocks have
peak ever attained and the vol.
ume OF trading expanded notably
last week.
Wars usually have been followed
by periods of extraordinary devel-
oyn4ent. Since the world war was
the most eventful OF all wars. and
since the United States was in q
better position than any other ma.
ton to benefit from the tire.
mendous upheaval II caused, 1t is
logical that this country should
have gone ahead faster than any
other nation. Economic achieve
ments which ordinarily would
have taken many years have been
crowded into the space OF a few
years by the enterprising leaders
OF this young country.
Our economic revolution Is still
going on without sIackening. In.
deed, the last. few months b We
brought the most noteworthy OF
our many developments. We have
witnessed combination OF capital
on scale absolutely without pre-
cedent. And even more colossal
combini. sions in the making.
Not only so, but the American
peops have this year manifested
unparalleled readiness to take
part in s epochal movement.
New offerings OF corporate securi.
ties, espe cially those of enormous
corp rations, have been readily
taken Notwithstanding the high
rates ruling for money. Never BE-
fore have so many stockholders
paid for rights to increaI
their holdings. This confidence IL
reflected by the rise in stock DUO
tations te heights never before
.ached. tA
While it is true that specula-
tors have been buying hopes
rather than earnings IN a great
many instances. the fact is that
corporation reports during the
current year have in a majority
of cases revealed increases in
profits ranging from a modest
amount to amazing amounts. And
it is certain that the figures cov-
ering the second quarter Of the
year will maintain this wonder

WARS
BY w. 8. COUSINS

NEW YORK. July Is Q.N.s).-
The bulls and bears fought It out
on the big board TODAY over the
question of money supplies. The

considerable funds from the call

hope of an easing UP in money

business Good


Business at the end of the first
tvs weeks in July is being main
talnad well above the seasonal
average, with indications of only a
slight recession, If any, at the end
of August. Most of the major
industries show less than the usual
summer contraction of activity
while the present steel trade Is held
without parallel.
Production of automobiles con.
tinues at a high level; railroads are
still In the market for large tom
nages of material; shipbuilding is
experiencing a revival, and build
ing construction is featured by i'm
portant projects. Stores disclose
improved stock conditions, with the
warm weather bringing about an
enlarged retail distribution. COM

Untitled orders OF United States
Corporation as OF June 80 showed
a small decrease of 47,257 tons
from the preceding month, but
were 619, 900 tons above a. year ago.
Operatiohs averaged close to rated
capacity during the month, tndicat-
Ing satisfactory volume of incom-
ing orders. Operations for the
industry were maintained at 80 per
cent of capacity, slightly under the
rate for the previous week.
Car loadings for the last week OF
June, reported during the week,
reached 1,095,724 cars. the highest
this year. and the largest percentage
gain. for any week this year over
the corresponding 1928 week. The
street is looking forward with
great deal of optimism to railroad
earnings to be reported in the, next
two weeks. -
weekly crude oil output showed a
further gain of $4,000 barrels daily
10 a new peake Of ,2,857, 400 barrels
daily. somewhat higher than was
forecast. Substantial gains wcres re-
ported by the three main producing
centers--Te Oklahoma and Cali
fornia. Interest Is centered on the
California gas waste law which
comes into effect next month.
Unless legal obstacles hinder the
laws effectiveness, operators look
fora drop in output of from 100, 900
to 250,000 barrels daily.
The June output of automobiles
and trucks is estimated by the
National Automobile Chamber of
Connnerce at 526.309 units in the
United States and Canada, against
635,52S IN May and 425,195 In June,
1928. Figured on an average daily
basis the drop from May is only
about IL per cent, as against~a nor.
nal seasonal decline of about 10
per cent.
June copper statistics indicate
that leading producers are carrying
out their announced policy of cur
falling productions from the recent
peak rate. The June output was
about 8 per cent under May, but
is per cent above a year ago.
Smaller shipments, however, re-
suited in a $4,000 ton gain in stocks
