NEW YORK, March 11.--Cotton

pool cables and sold about 10 to Is
points below Saturdays closing quota
tions during the early trading under
realizing or liquidation. There was also
some Southern selling.
May eased off to 21.31 and the new

seemed to bring in renewed support.
particularly in May. Prices steadied up
several points from the lowest.
At the end of the first half hour May
was selling around 21.38. The general
list showed net declines of to 10 points.
Buying on the early decline was en-
couraged by reports of continue ac-
tive demand for cotton goods.
Private cables from Liverpool reported
London, Continental and Bombay realiz-
ing, but said there was an improved de-
mand for cotton cloth from the con-
tincnt.

Bird Films Help Aviators.

Flights of birds are expected to aid
aviators who study the pictures being
made by Baron C. Shiba, the young
Japanese who has been filming the
methods used by the feathered air trav-
elers. Shibas camera works so fast
that 1t requires 20 minutes to show on
the screen all the pictures photographed
in one second, so that every movement
of the birds can be studied. Shiba
claims that his pictures also enable an
aviator to see like bird.

Stock Trading More Active.

Stock Trading More Active.
A moderate rise occurred last week in
the value of shares traded on the New
York Stock Exchange, apparently indi-
eating that the Federal Reserve Board
has not frightened many people away
from the market.
All stocks, preferred and common
combined, showed an increase of about
per cent in average daily value of
transactions which rose to nearly $780,
100000 from about $330,000,000 daily
average for the week before.
Common industrials changed hands
at the rate Of over $685., 100000 worth
per day.
Eight groups showed increased turn
over, with coppers jumping to an av-
erage of over 100000 600 per day, of
which nearly four-fifths was Anaconda
and Kennecott.

Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-03-11

general level of stocks was about the
same from one week to another, brokers'
loans increased lao million.
Part of this was undoubtedly due to
new financing operations, which had
increased somewhat over the previous
week. At the same time the big
brokerage wire houses tell us quite
frankly that small traders who had
been out of the market for the past
few weeks came back into the market
in hordes, attracted by the rapid rise.
The volume of trading mounted to
more than 100000 shares one day,
and 1t Is not difficult to believe that
many large investors and investment
trusts were inclined to sell part OF
their holdings. until the credit outlook
becomes little more favorable.
The brokers' loan figures seemed to
say that many large investors who sold
their holdings were being attracted
away from low-yield stocks by 10 and
IL per cent call money rates, for OF the
140 million increase in brokers' loans
80 million was supplied by "others."
Evidently while 7 or per cent rates
failed to attract "others" to place addi-
tional funds at the disposal Of the stock
market a few weeks ago, the 10 and
IL per cent did attract the funds.
Banks Help.
We also find that the New York
banks added 27 million and out-of-town
banks IA million to the brokers' loan
total. While this might lead to the
conclusion that the banks had aban-
d0ned their intention of reducing the
size of brokers' loans, 1t seems more
likely that the banks lent large sums
on Wednesday, when the call rate went
from 8 to IL per cent ana the market
broke sharply, in order to prevent the
rate from going still higher and pre-
cipitating a bad market break. From
the 10 per cent renewal rate the next
day, which later rose to IL per cent,
it would appear that the banks are
attempting again to withdraw this
money painlessly from the STOCK
market.
The lack of heavy liquidation in the
market on the decline was the feature
of the week, and it took a continued
stiff interest rate to make the market
bulge at all. Whether the public or q
few large operators are putting up the
resistance to high rates. 1t would appear
that they are fighting a losing battle
unless they are willing to pay extortion-
ate interest rates for their credit.
A Banking Viewpoint.
On Thursday Paul M. Warburg, chair
man of International Acceptance Bank
and one of the original members of the
Federal Reserve Board came out fiat
footedly against further expansion of
brokers' loans.
He said: when the extravagant use
of funds for speculative purposes alb
serbs so much of the Nations credit
supply that it threatens to cripple the
country's regular business, then there
does not seem to be any doubt as to the
direction in which the Federal Reserve
system ought to exercise its influence
