Entering Critical Week. With Drought Threatening Security
Cool Weather Aids
Business Recovery;
Conditions Improve

800, 600, while in last Saturdays
half day session the total fell far
short Of 100000 shares. The aver
age price for 80 industrial stocks
broke this week and to within
$11 Of the years low point. On
Friday the drop was So.
Spotlight on Commodities
With the reports of drought
laying waste to corn crops, there
was a switch this week Of specu-
lative interest from stocks to the
grain markets. Corn shot up
above 81 bushel, and wheat had
corresponding rise on reports
this grain was being used as feed,
reducing surplus stocks. Corn
lost part Of its gain. on reports of
beneficial rains on the way. Cot
ton also came in for attention,
turning sharply upward. only to
fall back on publication of q
larger Government crop estimate
than expected.
The chance of the public clean
ing up in the grain and cotton
markets is pretty slim, especially
with the Government in the cot
ton and wheat business on a large
scale. The safe course is to leave
these markets to the professionals.
II you must trade in commodities,
pick on some of the less proml-
nent ones that are not subject to
Government manipulation.
The bond market continues its
encouraging advance, reaching on
Thursday new high for the year.
Volume of trading also is picking
up. This reflects the favorable
money situation, which is ruling
in the face of heavy gold exports.
The Federal Reserve is taking
steps to offset the gold exports
with the purchase Of Government
securities. This weeks Reserve
statement shows no change in
securities held. but next week S
report is expected to show a sub
stantial gain.
New bond financing was about
half Of last weeks total. but sev-
eral times the amount floated in
the corresponding week last year.
At this time last year financing
was chiefly in the form of com.
mon stocks. The public's appetite
had not yet been filled. This
weeks total was 70,940, 900, COM
pared with $11,965, 300 last week
and $22, 100000 a year ago.
Inquiry for new issues is chiefly
from institutions, although two
or three Of the larger distributing
houses report a better demand
from the all-important &ource-
the individual.

While uncomfortable forces Of
nature--the heat and drought
have had retarding effect on
general business, there have been
unmistakable signs Of seasonal
recovery. Everything continues
TO point to an acceleration Of this
recovery when the hot spell Is
broken.

taken a big Jump with the reopen

While the loss in crops as q
result of the drought is placed at
many millions Of dollars, this will
be offset to a large extent by the
reduction in large crop surpluses
overhanging the market and In
creased prices for products.
Stock Market Sides -
The stock market has been more
Of a hindrance than a help. Trad.
ing has been almost entirely pro
feSsional, but this element has
again successfully lowered security
prices. taking advantage Of the
confusion and mixed opinion re-
sulting from the crop damage.
This is having the bad effect Of
prolonging the period Of hand-to-
mouth buying.
While the decline in some stocks
is justified, the sympathetic break
in others is not. Certainly, issues
that are yielding 5 and 6 per cent
with their dividends amply COW
cred should be immune from
drives, such as the one that shook
the market yesterday.
Impetus for yesterdays drive
was furnished by the passing Of

the general public was concerned
this news came out of a clear sky,

IOWA REPORTS
MORE COAL

The total quantity Of coal pro-
Guced in Iowa in 1929 amounted
to 4,241 ,069 net tons. according to
a statement just released by the
United States Bureau of Mines,
Department of Commerce. In
comparison with the output for
the previous year, the production
in 1929 shows an increase of over
is per cent.
This increase was largely ac-
counted for by Appanoose, Boone,
Dallas, Lucas, Monroe and War
rem counties. Gains in these dis
tricts were partly offset by re-
duced production in Marion and
some of the smaller producing
counties. Marion county, how
ever, still remains the most impor-
tant coal producer in the State by
a substantial margin, producing
78O, ,667 tons in 1929. Appanoose
county, with an output Of 569,314
tons, ranked second, and Polk,
with $50, ,450 tons, third in impor-
tance.
The total value Of the coal pro-
duced by the mines Of Iowa in
1929 was $11.948, 900, as compared
with $1O,525, 900 in 1923. The
average price per ton, however,
shows a slight reduction, being
$2.82 per ton in 1929 as compared
with $2.86 in the preceding year.
There were 1926 men employed
in the coal mining industry Of the
State in 1929, of whom 6,756
worked underground and $50 were
surface workers. A marked i'm
provement is also noted in the
working time, the number of days
worked by the coal mines of Iowa
being 1876 as compared with IT'S
days ip 1928.

Rise of Better Grade Bonds
Uninterrupted by Bad Crop

The rise In the better grade Of
corporation bonds in the listed
market this week was uninter-
rupted by the crop damage re-
ports, the unfavorable industrial
news, or the late reaction in the
stock market.
Investment bankers have taken
advantage of the increasing de-
mand from institutional buying
sources to clean their shelves OF
a number of choice domestic and
foreign issues which have been
clogging the works for a consider
able period. These bonds have
moved so quickly that confident
predictions OF a strong and buoy
ant bond market for the balance
of this year are being heard.
Convertible industrial and rail,
road bonds naturally followed the
erratic course of their respective
stocks declining near the week
end when stocks took to the
toboggan. The market course Of
the better grade of corporation
bonds was uninfluenced either by
the weakness in the stock market
or the unfavorable reports of cor
poration earnings now coming to
hand. Bonds of the United States
Steel Corporation, Southern Paci-
fic Company, American Telephone
and Telegraph. National Dairy
Products. Missouri Pacific rail-
way and Shell Union Oil Com
pany were the leaders in activity
on the big board.
New financing in the bond
market this week totalled about
SIS, ZOO, 900, which was inadequate
to supply the demands of bond
investors. The subscription books
were promptly closed on an issue
of $50. 900 900 of 10-year Swift g.

O0O, 900 of 2O-year 512 per cent

and an issue of Ontario Power

Heat WGUe Blamed
For Slump in Cocoa

The prevailing heat wave in
the United States is considered
by the cocoa trade as one Of the
chief reasons for the sharp break
in the cocoa market last week.
Chocolate bar and candy con-
sumption Slumped so sharply that
manufacturers bought consider
ably less supplies for grinding
purposes. The grinders were ap-
parently also influenced by their
habitul poalicy of hand-to-mouth
buying in a declining market.
With demand for raw cocoa
beans thus limited holders of
cocoa futures rushed to unload
their commitments. Futures de-
clined IS to 40 points on the New
York Cocoa Exchange during the
week. Spot cocoa closed a. 8
cents a pound. A-f one-fourth Of

heightened by the absence Of any

Magnate Tells of Plan As
He Sails; Refuses to Discuss
Sinclair Merger RumOrs

After predicting there would be
no marked change in the domes-
tic oil situation for the next few
weeks, Harry F. Sinclair sailed
Saturday for abroad. He is chair
man of the board of directors of
the Sinclair Consolidated Oil Cor
poration.
Sinclair said on his return here
in about a month action would
be taken on the sale of the Sim
clair's one-half interest in the Sin
clair Pipe Line Company to the
Standard Oil Company of Indiana.
He said gasoline consumption
had improved lately, but that the
industry still faces the problem Of
surplus crude production.
Regarding the possible merger
of Sinclair Oil with several other
oil companies, Sinclair said:
"RumOrS are rumOrS, and you
have to take them as you find
them. This is a day of cOnsOIi-
datiOns. All oil companies are
looking around for something to
merge with"
AS to the possible acquisition of
the Richfield Oil Co. or the
Simms Petroleum Co., Sinclair
said, emphatically, that there are
no negotiations under way. He
added that negotiations for the
merger of Sinclair and Prairie
Oil & Gas Co.. are Stil1 under
way, but that no further develop
mentS can be expected until after
Sinclair's stockholders meeting
has been held and the sale of the
Sinclair Pipe Line Co. and the
Sinclair Crude Co. has been rati.
fled and actually consummated
to the Standard Oil Co. of In
diana.
Mr.. Sinclair said the purpose
of his trip abroad was to confer
with his European representa-
tives and to look into a number
Of situations Of interest to the
company.
"Our foreign business has
been expanding rapidly, and I
anticipate a greater develop
ment of European and other
foreign markets in the next
few years." he said.

Here and There

S4OAO AAAS = ASAO
The motors haven't been doing
a bad job, all things considered,
They are off, naturally, but have
been quite stubborn. There
hasn't been much speculative in
tereSt recently in the automobile
stocks. Their break this spring
defeated them thoroughly, and
there isn't very much loosely
held stock to shake out now.
It's a question ifathey will earn
very much money! the balance Of
this year, but the leading COM
panieS are strong in cash and
the 1881 outlook Is good.
General Motors is the best,
and is a buy on further weak
ness. Auburn is attractive below
100 in that it doesn't have to
make lot of money to show up
big on it's small capitalization,
but it is dangerous in that it
moves widely either way.

warned against Case Friday. It
was again weak Saturday, and
isn't acting well-Grigsby Cru
now naturally suffered in the
break. 1t is down a bit from
where it was recommended in
this column. I am told that
Grigsby'S subsidiary, Majestic
Household, has turned out its
first electric refrigerator, and
those who have seen it are i'm
pressed. I still believe Grigsby is
a good low-priced speculation.
The coppers are putting up a
good battle. I am still bullish on
American Smelling, Anaconda,
Kennecott and international
Nickel and believe they are a buy
now. The leading oils are getting
in a buying range. Disappointing
market action of Child'S reflects
the drop in its sales. It is dan
gerouSly near its low for the year.
If it breaks through it will be a
bad sign, indicating lack Of sup
port.

Loves Reawakening The Story of Wife's Triumph Over Jealousy

And I believe MT. Veritzen and his guest, MT. Cam eron, are to come up there and come over with your father. l brought Noel over with me. An, Carolyn" she broke off suddenly I'm glad to see you survived the ride this morning"
 l heard no more. Indeed I had heard the preceding words only be- cause 1 was so intensely interested in Marion's reactions to her step father. I had advanced to meet Mrs. Brixton, who, resplendent in filmy black over crimson was marshaling her charges around her much as she might have gathered a group of Ter children's playmates in their Kindergarten days.
 "We can't bother with sur names,' Helena said, smiling in the slow fascinating fashion which is hers. Mrs Graham you already know Marion, Carolyn and Ronald, and these others. from left to right are Peggy, Emily, Bob, Jack and Jerry"
 Even as I gave them a cordial greeting and shook hands with each of them, I had an odd little feeling of triumph because pet theory of mine had been vindicat- ed. It is one that has been ridiculed often. but to which I have held stubbornly, that this younger gen. eration of ours, save for the spec tacular exceptions which prove the rule, is fully as clean and good as any generation which has preceded it The faces turned to me as I greeted them were widely different, some shy, and quiet, some brim- ming with mischief one or two with the poise of older people. But alt were clean cut, direct of gaze, lovable. There was mo flaming , much on it. On the other hand there was no one of them who was not high-spirited and fun-loving.

 It was only when Ronald had led his mates out of the room that 1 realized the enc walking next to Dicky was no 3choolboy. In the hurry and crush I had not realized that Charles Owen was to be pres ent at the dinner party after all!

 The term "Pyorrhea" literally means running pus, which indeed is one of the characteristics of the disease. Pyorrhea also is known as Riggs disease, and is one of the most common diseases of the mouth found in middle aged persons.
 Pyorrhea is diseased condition, usually the result of a number of unhealthy conditions, rather than a specific disease like measles. For this reason there is no single rem- edy for pyorrhea.
 Pyorrhea affects the gums. As the disease progresses, the teeth and the bones of the jaw may be- come affected.
 The diseased condition of the gums may be caused by bad mouth hygiene, repeated injury of the gums, bad dental work, defective and irregular teeth, or systematic diseases.
 Pyorrhea often is found in those suffering from diabetes, scurvy and chronic debilitating diseases. Lead poisoning and mercurial poisoning usually affect the gums and expose the sufferer to pyorrhea.
 Of these causes, chronic irrita- ion probably is the most common. The disease itself is chronic in it's progress-that is, pyorrhea first develops in small areas. not infre- quently about thrilled or capped teeth. If these small areas are ne- glected, the disease extends and may involve all the gums and teeth.
 To guard against development of pyorrhea, one should observe good dental, hygiene, involving the use of an appropriate tooth brush, a simple non-irritating tooth paste or powder, dental floss and a mouth wash.
 A periodic visit to the dentist, at least once every six months, will go far in safeguarding one against pyorrhea.

The Arrival of Charles Owen as a Party Guest Sends Feeling of

 T surmise that the party has begun" I said, smiling at Mary.
 "Yes," Dicky responded, taking down the receiver and jiggling the hook. Mrs. Brixton and party are calling"
 His mimicry of the operator was perfect, and the next instant he gave the Underwood's apartment number, and immediately afterward repeated the message again, appar- ently to Lillian.

When you doll up proper, you have every : body else backed off the boards I echoed his comment, for Lillian, , stately in a trailing gown of mauve and silver with her modish gray coiffure topped with a silver tili- gree comb studded with amethysts, with the same stones at her ears and throat, anad with bouquet Of lavender orchids, was striking pie ture. l did not wonder that the next minute when the merry Erik ton party bubbled into the room.

I'm so proud But where's Dad? l want the girls to see him in his evening clothes. They all fell for him hard in riding togs."
 Lillian's face and eyes were shin- ing as her young daughter finished, and I knew that the glow was more on account of Marion's praise O. her stepfather than it was of herself. At least, I told myself, ' whatever other worries might be Lillian's, this particular problem of Marions jealous dislike for her stepfather. was apparently solved for all time, and would trouble my friend no more.
