 The vessel is not crowded and most of the 170 first class passen- gers are hard-working middle class British folk, of the same stock as the premier himself. There will be plenty of opportunity aboard for quiet and rest in preparation for MT MacDonald's meeting witt parlia- mCnt.

 We'll Up to Average,
 Washington, Oct. 2G Pl-In spite of the weeks ruinous decline in sc- curity prices, President Hoover is convinced that the general condition of American business is strong and sound.
 The collapse of the stock market led neWspap"rmen to question the chief executive as to his opinion of the situation and he replied with a highly optimistic and rcassuring statement.
 The production and distribution of commodities which he termed the fundamental business Of the country, he said were on q sound and prosperous basis" As the best evidence of the truth of this asser- ton he pointed out that although production and consumption arc at high levels, the average prices Of commodities have not increased nor has there been any multiplication of stocks Of manufactured goods.
 Wage Trend ,,pward
 In addition, Mr. Hoover said the trend Of wages was upward and that the individual output of workers in many industries was growing. All of these factors he interpreted as in- dicating q "hcalthy condition"
 The chief executive, however, noted q few weak spots in the na- tions business structure, the con- struction and building industries have been affected to some extent, he said, by high interest rates re- sulting from speculation on the stock exchange.
 He added, without naming the in Gustrics in question, that a seasonal decrease had been noted in one CT two other fields, but this he said, vas of a Secondary character" when considered Tn it's relation to the whole situation.
 NentiCnS Grain Decline
 Mir. Hoover also mentioned a sym pathetic decline in grain prices which accompanied the drop in stock quotations, asserting that this usual )y happens. The significant factor in the grain market is, he said, that the years world production is csti- mated at j00,0Q0,000 bushels less than last year, which will result in a very low carry-over at the end of the present harvest year.
 The president made no direct con- ment on the stock exchange situa- ton, but did alludc to it in speak ing of the drop in grain prices sym pathetically with stock exchange priCcs.'
 The statement was issued late yes terday at the presidents regular semi-weekly conference with Wash ingtOn newspaper correspondents.
