Failure of Market to Rally
After Losses.
BY CLAUDE A. jaeger,

NEW YORK. September lathe
stock market slipped into reverse again
today and moved slowly downhill,
although It's descent was checked now
and then during intervals OF dullness
when offerings dried up.
The mediocre rally yesterday led
bearish professionals to believe that
the best prospects for immediate profits
were still on the short side and selling
was resumed throughout the list. Utili-
ties encountered considerable realizing,
but pressure was also applied to the
merchandising shares and TO miScel-
laneous industrials Activity increased
somewhat in comparison 18th the We'd
nesday trading, yet the turnover re-
manned small.
Declines generally held to nominal
proportions in the more active stocks.
In orded to make much progress IN
either direction the market appeared TO
need more definite news, OF one sort or
the other. than has been forthcoming:
Reports of better inquiry Tor some OF
the commodities notably steel, pig iron
and copper, indicate a belief on the part
of important consumers that prices nave
scraped bottom but in the absence OF

improvement is regarded as rather
theoretical.
Professional bears have capitalized

normal. Ont he other hand, more cheer

DEMAND FOR CHEMICALS

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September 1s.-Follow-
ing the general industrial slowing down
of the hot-weather period, demand for
heavy chemicals has improved notably
since the turn of the month, reports
Chemical and Metallurgical Engineer
ing. This has been apparent more in
an increased withdrawal of materials
against running contracts than by more
active buying in the spot market. Spot
trading, however, has made gains. but
full seasonal conditions have not yet be-
come operative. Demand both for home
and export Is gaining and the low prices
quoted had stimulating effect on the
buying movement.
Price changes during the last month
were of slight Importance so far as
chemicals were concerned. Ethyl ace
tate was marked down by producers,
with large stocks as the ruling price fac
tor. Heavy chemicals held q fairly
steady price position. Alcohol was freer

pentine moved up in prtce and advanced

as against 94.15 in August and 100.19 in
September, 1929.
Opinions vary regarding the volume
of chemical stocks in sellers hands.
Sales pressure noted in recent months
was attributed to large Accommodations.
In some instances this was true while in
prevented any large accommodations and
with different consuming branches
working on small supplies, it would not
appear that the market as q whole Is
due to suffer from an oversupply of
chemicals.

Also, Cuba being an island, has no inter-
national boundaries. another advantage over
other American nations which fits her to be a
center for all inter- american humaniStic and
peace activities This fact is Of incalculable
Importance in view of the fiery spirit with
which the American republics have fought

boundary lines and frontiers Thanks to this
freedom from territorial disputes, Cuba is q
nation without enemies in this hemisphere, q
fact which fits her, beyond all others, to serve
as bond of union between all the republics
of North, Central and South America.
Cuba has been represented for some years in
the United States by one of the most out
standing and popular members of the diplomatic
corps in Washington, Ambassador Orestes Fer
rara, a man of extraordinary and manysided
personality. He has figured as brilliantly on the
fields of battle in the war for Cuban independ-
ence as in the fields Of diplomacy, international
politics and Latin letters, to which he has
contributed works which have attained CONT
mental renown. Last year Ambassador Ferrara
published q notable study Of Macchiavelli,
which merited favorable comment from the
most distinguished critics of Europe and
America, and he is now preparing . treatise

resident in Cuba and to preserve order.
All these close historical relations have natu-
rally formed intimate ties between the two
nations. But Of even more present-day i'm
portance are the close economic relations which
identify their interests. Cuba like some other
Latin American nations, is a "One-crop country"
Nature has endowed her with soil and sun
unexcelled for producing sugar cane, and upon
this industry depends the economic life of the
country. Her banks, the private fortunes of
the planters, the whole prosperity Of the
country vary with the price of sugar. Practi-
cally all this enormous production of sugar goes
to the United States and, in return, Cuba buys
more manufactured articles in the United
States than all the rest Of Latin America, ex-
cept Mexico put together. In 1928 Cuba's trade
with the United States reached total Of some
$421 900 600, OF which, in round numbers, Cuba's
exports were about three fifths and her imports
from the United States two-fifths. In addition
to sugar the United States imports large quanti-
ties Of Cuban tobacco, tropical fruits, early
vegetables and molaSSes.
Also United States investments in Cuba have

industries open new fields of commercial
activity, in order to convert the republic from
"One-crop country" to one of more self
sustaining and varied production. Most Of the
Latin American republics are now aware of
the disadvantages Of allowing the entire
economic system of a nation to depend upon
one product alone
Other achievements of the present admins
tration are the outstanding position which Cuba
is attaining as a center Of international ACTIVE
ties and the political role, constantly more pre-
dominant, which she is playing in the
orientation Of pan-American movements, IA
vored by her geographical position as well as her
historical and economic antecedents. There Is
now under construction in Havana the building
for headquarters Of the American Institute Of
International Law, the gift Of the Cuban gov
eminent to that organization, which is destined
to have q conspicuous part in inter- American
juridical and political questions. Due as much
to her geographical position, standing between
the United States and the other American
nations, as to her history, which links her
equally to Saxon and Latin America, Cuba is
the, nation most suitable for center Of every

DURING her quarter Of century Of indie
pendence Cuba has won an outstanding
position among the American nations not so
much on account of her enormous trade totals
as from the high cultural and intellectual
attainments Of her people. Cuba, with a terri
tory about equal to that of Pennsylvania and
a population approximately that of Chicago,

To this rapid political and economic progress
Of the past few years much has been con-
tributed by the theoretically active administTa-
titon of notable statesman, Gen. Gerardo
Machado, under whose hand there is taking
place an interesting development in industrial
diversifcation. This plan, If successful, Will
mean an economic transformation of Cuba.
Contrary to the traditional tendency heretofore
followed Of devoting all the resources Of the
country to the production of sugar, the present
Cuban government is trying to establish new

Spain in the early years of the nineteenth
century but it was not until 1895, when the
interest Of the United States had become
aroused, that the last campaign for freedom
was launched, led by Jose Marti, Cuban
lawyer who had long lived in the United States.
The military head was Gen. Maxine Gomez,
who carried on an active guerrilla warfare
against the Spanish forces The crueties of
Gen. Weyler, the Spanish commander in Cuba,
aroused indignation in this country, and there
were demands that the Federal government
intervene Just at this time the American bat
tleship Maine was sunk in Havana harbor.
This sufficed, In the agitated state of public
opinion to make the United States take up the
cause of the revolutionists, proclaim Cuban in
dependence and demand the withdrawal of the
Spanish forces. With the defeat, shortly after,
of the Spanish feet at Santiago, the island was
in possession of American troops.
Cuba was turned over to the United States
by the treaty of Paris, but the latter nation re-
quired that she be given national independence.
To prepare the way for independent govern
ment by the Cuban people, the American mill
tary forces remained three years in Cuba, de-
voting their activities to sanitation, the estab-
liShment of schools, etc. In May, 1902, the
government was turned over to duly elected
Cuban officials. and the troops we're withdrawn.
