1t is sure that this volume of specula-
ton has had minor effect on business.
The first effect was psychological, but
the more potent results came from the
tightening of money and the restrictions
of credit due to stock market activities
and the efforts of the Federal Reserve
Board to check them. No legitimate in
dustry, however, actually suffered from
lack of credit for judicious purposes
and the interest rates did not rise to
prohibitive levels.
New security issues were absorbed
during the IL months at the rate of
81 ,820 100000 a year. This compares
with about $7,720 000, 900 in the previous
year. Then. however. the majority of
such offerings consisted of boncs, while
this year they have been stocks, and
most of them common stock issues as

AGREEMENT ON NlTRATES
STlRS u. S. CONFERENCE
snecIal Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 29-The recent
report of an international agreement
having been reached by German, British
and Chilean producers to maintain the
present relationship of prices Of syn
thetic, by-product and natural nitrates
has added considerably TO the interest
of American chemical and fertilizer
manufacturers in the conference of
American commercial attaches stationed
in Europe, which will be held in Paris,
July 90 to August 3.
Whether American buyers of nitrate,
the most important of which are the
fertilizer manufacturers and the farm
+, ers, should Immediately protest the re-
ported agreement or adopt a policy OF
"watchful waiting" with the hope that
! beneficial stabilization will result, is a
query raised by Charles j. Brand. ex-
ecutiye secretary of the National Ferti-
| lizer Association, Washington, who
sailed from New York today TO address
| the conference.
American producers OF nitrogen are
understood by Mr.. Brand not to be
parties in any way to the reported
agreement.

IMPROVEMENT NOTED
IN BOND MARKET 7

Special Dispatch to The Star
BOSTON, June ga slight improve
ment in the tone of the bond market
has been noticeable during the past few
days, according &c current report Of
the United Business Service. This
change is undoubtedly the result of
easier time money rates plus an increase
in gold imports during the past few
months.
Bonds, which In years past have con-
sistently sold to yield less than common
stocks are now selling to yield more.
They are, in fact, selling at lower avsr-
age levels than at any time since 1875.
Although the united opinion of the
leading financial authorities of the
country does not indicate a broad up
swing in the bond market for the near
future, it does not indicate bonds are
selling close to their low point for the
present cycle.

How is air Iiquiied?

Compressed air, cooled by water,
i sforced through pipe to a valve.
AS it escapes through the valve, it
expands and its temperature Falls,
because expansion is a cooling pro-
cess. After expansion, the cold air
is led back over the outer surface of
the same pipe by which it came,
whereupon it rapidly regains its
former temperature. But in doing
so it cools the pipe itself and the
air within it. This latter air in
turn expands and falls in tempera-
ture, but as it was cooler than the
first portion before expansion, SO

business men.
The chief industry, knitting,

u. S. ENGINEERS
TO AID BIG USSR
IRRIGATION PLAN
Will Develop Cotton
Crop in Turkestan

Arthur P. Davis, formerly direc-
tor of the United States Reclama-
tion Service, former president of the
American Society of Civil Engi-
neers, builder of the Roosevelt, Ar
Irowrock, Mokelumne, and other
large dams, left yesterday with his
family for Soviet Turkestan, where
he will act in the capacity of Chief
Consulting Engineer of the Sredaz-
vodkhoz, the Central Asiatic Water
Economy, which is in charge of the
irrigation projects in the cotton
growing regions of Soviet Central
Asia. Accompanying Mr.. Davis was
his assistant Lyman D. Wilbur, who
will also be employed by the Soviet
organization. Two more American
engineers will leave for the Soviet
Union in few weeks.
Mr.. Davis, who resigned his post
as chief engineer of the East Bay
Municipal Utility District of Cali
fornia in order to participate in ir-
rigation projects in the U.S.S.R.,
spoke very optimistically regarding
the possibility of expanding the cot
ton growing areas in Soviet Central
Asia and Transcaucasia. He visited
Russian Turkestan in 1911.
"Cotton up to now has been grown
only in a small section of the Soviet
Union, in the extreme southern part
of the country" stated Mr.. Davis
yesterday at the offices of the Am
torg Trading Corporation. Gwen in
the regions where climatic condi-
tions are favorable for cotton cul-
tivation, the insufficiency of irriga-
ton facilities reduces the cotton
acreage. The Sredazvodkhoz is de-
veloping several irrigation projects
which will make available additional
large tracts of land for cotton grow
ing. Irrigation will also make it
possible to cultivate cotton in cer-
tain regions outside of Central Asia
and Transcaucasia."
The area of cotton under cultiva-
tion in the Soviet Union, which five
or six years ago was reduced to only
fraction of the pre-war acreage,
has shown substantial expansion in
recent years, reaching a total of g.
100000 acres last year, an increase
of 81 per cent over the 1918, acreage
and of % per cent over 1927. The
rapid development of the Soviet tex
tile industry necessitates, however,
considerable imports of American
and Egyptian cotton, which together
make up two-fifths of the total con-
sumption in the U.S.S.R. The con-
struction of the 900 mile Turkestan-
Siberian Railway, in addition to the
irrigation projects, is expected to
have an important effect in stimu-
lating the further development of
Soviet cotton cultivation.
Several score American engineers
are at present in the Soviet Union
in connection with various industrial
projects.

rejoice in your glorious victory"
