During August the anniversary took
the form of special masses IN the city

CAUTION PREVAILS
IN MARKET CIRCLES
Traders Await Definite Indi-
cation of Trend Before
Buying Stocks.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 28.-Caution
has cooled the customary Autumn en-
thusiasm of many Wall Street market
authorities.
Professional forecasters and writers of
brokerage house letters find their task
increasingly difficult. The course of
security prices during Spring and Sum-
mer demonstrated repeatedly that the
old familiar guideposts were no longer
dependable.
Money rates have been rising steadily
in the United States for year and a
half. Commercial paper rates in the
open market have jumped from 4 to
per cent. Call loans on Stock EX-
change collateral now cost security
traders from 2 to 3 per cent more
than last year.
One cause of uncertainty is the be-
lief in some quarters that action may
be taken by the Federal Reserve au-
thorities to debate Stock Exchange
credit in order to lower rates, stimulate
the bond market and prepare the way
for absorption of a considerable VOL
ume of German bonds for reparations
purposes.
Another factor supporting the view
that official or Semi-omcial action may
be invoked to ease the credit situation
is that the United States Treasury is
having to pay in excess of per cent
for its short term borrowings, whereas
the investing public appears content
with an average yield of around 8 per
cent on ordinary stocks.
The situation in 1920 and 1921 had
factors similar to those operating at
present. The Federal Reserve SYSTEM
after the wartime easy money policy,
undertook to reduce the amount of
credit used in maintaining high prices
in farm lands and, crops.

A. b. A. Convention.
(Scal)

On Tuesday Of this week the Ameri-
can Bankers Association will open a
four-day convention at San Francisco,
one that will be largely attended by
bankers from all over the country.
Matters Of the greatest importance to
the bankers Of the country will be dis
cussed. The fast-growing importance
Of the investment trust companies the
new group banking, the growth Of trust
companies and numerous other inter-
eSting subjects will be discussed.
Washington will send the smallest
delegation that has attended an Ameri-
can Bankers convention in many years,
probably for the reason that a conven-
ton Of the same organization was held
in Los Angeles three years ago. when a
large delegation Of our bankers made
the trip, taking in the entire State en-
route. The convention last year was in
Philadelphia and the year before in
Houston, Tex. Large local delegations
attended both.
This year Hulery Hoskinson Of the
Riggs National and z. J. Mc0uade Of
the Liberty National have the honor of
representing Washington.

new METHODS USED
FOR SPECULATION
Buying of Huge Blocks of Stock Is
Favorite Move Among
Bulls.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, September 28.-Market
observers believe the day IS definitely
past when one reckless and highly
financed Spectator or group can
manipulate prices by open market
transactions.
New methods must be employed.
From 1900 to 1925 the yearly volume
of sales on the New York Stock Ex-
change averaged approximately 22S,-
100000 shares.
In recent years the amount has risen
rapidly until estimates for 1929 indi-
cate total volume easily exceeding
1000 100000 shares.
The capital required to swing prices
in the face of such trading activity
obviously would have to be impressive.
The popular means of circumventing
this obstacle at present Is to start
buying huge blocks Of certain stocks.
The tape records a series Of awe
inspiring transactions in which 5000.
10000 or even 10000 shares change
hands in single transaction.
This sets rumors popping on all
sides. Tho result frequently is q flood
of buying orders from various sources,
which boosts the prices of the stocks in
question and sustains them long enough
for the speculative group to sell out.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1929-09-29

comparisons run mainly in the direction
Of our trading or finance corporations.
The incident Of greatest international
importance this week was the advance
in the Bank Of England rate Of redis-
count from 51a to ga per cent, and
bringing the cost Of money In the Lon
don market to the highest level since
1920. At the same time money rates have
advanced on the continent OF Europe
and the absorption Of credit for specula-
tive purposes in the United States has
a pronounced effect in every money
market of the world.
It is difficult to see how or when
this vicious circle Of credit expansion
is to be broken except through pro-
longed and pronounced liquidation In
stocks. This Is not likely to develop
until there is definite evidence Of q
permanent recession in business, which
makes the several signs Of trade re-
action noted thi week of much general
Importance co holders of securities and
to corporation managers.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
DANVILLE, Va. September 28.-The
tobacco markets in the old belt will
open for the new selling season on
Tuesday with farmers more optimistic
over the situation than they have been
for several years. The crop In the old
belt is admittedly good this year, being
particularly well suited to the cigarette
trade, demands for which are con-
stantly increasing. Dealers here with
overseas Affiliations report that the
foreign demand will be strong as stocks
in Europe are lower than they have
been for several years.
Danville will offer half q million
square feet Of auction space in eight
warehouses and will have hundred
buyers representing all classes Of the
tobacco trade. One Of the warehouses
has bsen added to and is so large that
it will take day and hslf to con-
clude sale.
The local market will have capacity
of a million pounds of leaf each day.

SMALLEST POTATO CROP

pated month ago. The Government.

compared with 373,Oo0,oo0 bushels fore
cast in August. This year the crop
will be IS per cent smaller than the
record harvest last year. and, with the
exception of 1925, will be the smallest
since 1919. Prices have shown an up
ward trend during the past month and
q further advance is in prospect.

NEW YORK, September 2S.-An In
crease in the cost Of living this Fall

mire Service, in its latest weekly analy-
sis of business conditions. II will be
caused by the smaller crops. Consumer
income, however, remains large and
the analysis predicts high level Of
activity in the retail trade in the Fail,
With exceptionally active holiday trade.
Smaller crop production means higher
prices for farm products and well sus-
tanned farmer purchasing power, the
analysis says, but it also means a re.

OF certain raw materials.
