Railroad trafic, both passenger and
freight, Is increasing. This is q sea-
Sonal trend, but 1t Is of added Inn
portance this year. Only O slight push
Is necessary to start general business
on an upward course.
Business Is a good deal like a freight
car, according to railroad men. It is
hard to move when it Is stationary, but
comparatively little power is needed to
once 1t is In motion. The present sea-
sonal trend may be the lever which will
give the freight car Of business its
initial impetus.
Buying Power.
How little push is needed is indicated
by the assurances that buying power
has lost little OF its volume. Reports
from savings banks show that deposits
are growing instead Of receding. This
means that savers have not had to dig
deep into their reserves. They have cut
down spending, but they have the
money to buy, and the slackness of
buying Is due to a mental attitude
rather than to lack of funds. The
movement of savings deposits has been
especially noticeable in Richmond and
Baltimore, although the drought has
been specially severe in the sections
covered by the Virginia and Maryland
banks.
Profits for the next IL months are
being virtually insured by many far
sighted manufacturers. They are hold
ing down production, but they are buy
ing extensively Of raw materials. They
feel that II commodity prices have not
touched bottom, they are only hairs
breadth from 1t. They figure that 1t is
better business policy to have their
money tied up in cheap raw materials,
which they would have to buy even
tually, anyway, than out at interest in
the present period of low money rates.

BONDS ARE HIGHER
|. IN ACTIVE MARKET
Investment Demand Spreads
From Prime Issues to Other
Parts of List.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.


NEW YORK, September 5.-With an
other of the increases in volume that
have been noted each day this week,
bond prices moved upward today.
While prime issues were strong, the
supply of these has now become SO
limited that the investment demand
spread to other parts of the market and
helped on their upward way those issues
Of reasonably sound security that have
been selling on q to 534 per cent basis
and, due to the low rates prevailing for
money, are out of line with the market
in general.
The spread of buying to higher yield
bonds was particularly noticeable in the
junior railroad descriptions. Western
Maryland As, q typical example, gained
II point to new high for the year. st.
Paul IS were up over q point. Denver
g. Rio Grande Western SIS improved "
point and so did issouri-Pacific As.
Smaller advances were made by Chicago
Great Western As, Rock Island 412s,
Erie General lien As, Erie SIS, Missouri
Pacific 51as and Frisco AIS
Convertible issues came in for similar
treatment. Many of them, in which
the conversion price is far above the
current level for the stock, are selling
purely on their merits as bonds. For
instance, Warner Bros. Picture IS, con-
vertible into stock at SIS, where the
current price is just above 80, are nat
urally selling on their bond value. Yet
there was buying of these issues today,
advances being widest in Philadelphia
&c Reading Coal g. Iron IS, American
International 51as and Allegheny SIS.
In the high-grade section the gains
were made by the old seasoned favor
ties, like AtchiSon General As, Pennsyl-
vania 41aS, Great Northern Is, Chesa-
peake g. Ohio 41as, Inland Steel AVS,
American Telephone 51as, Philadelphia
Co. SIS and American g Foreign Power
SIS. Most of them are at or within q
small fraction Of their best prices since
1928.
The only part of the list that showed
evidence Of neglect was the industrial
section. American Natural Gas 6hs
Pathe rs, Phillips Petroleum SIS, Rich
field Oil IS, Shell Union SIS, Chicago
Railways SIS and other issues of o semi
speculative nature were weak, yielding
to selling induced by the desire of in
vestors to get behind the upturn in high
and second-grade credits. New York
City fractions were again active, though
advances were confined to narrow
limits.

SHIPMENTS
DECLARED NORMAL
Vegetables Also Moving in
Usual Seasonal Volume,
Says Government Report.

Carlot supplies Of fruits and vege-
tables are coming along in the usual
volume, drought or no drought, but the
West Is sending more than its share
lately, says the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics Market News Serv-
ice. Nearly one car in three Is from
California and more than one In eight
from Colorado.
Potatoes In Steady Volume.
The potato shipments Of about TOO
cars daily are nearly the rate coming
last month and also close to that OF q
year ago. New Jersey and Long Island
are shipping liberal quantities. Most
other potato sections are running light
as yet. There is little further change
In the general price level, but Midwest
ern markets show some gains and some
Eastern markets have made slight de-
clines. Many cities report carlot re-
ceiptS moderate, but New York has
liberal carlot quantities arriving, while
the receipts at Philadelphia have been
rather light.
New Jersey and Long Island pota-
toes lead the Eastern markets with q
price range Of 1.50a2.00 per 100 pounds
on Cobblers In the East and 2.25a2.50
in various Southern markets. Maine
Cobblers show some decayed stock in
current arrivals, but best lots bring 1.50a
1.60 per 100 pounds bulk. Eastern Shore
Cobblers sold as high as 3.00a4.00 in
some Western and Southern markets.
Pennsylvania round white varieties sell
at 1.75a1 80 in Baltimore.
Onions and Cabbage.
The onion crop seems to have defied
dr. weather in most sections, but the
sizes of the Eastern output run small.
Probably onions of full size will COM
mand more or less of a prenium. The
onion is one of the few vegetables like
ly to be in full supply. The market
like that on most other vegetables,
shows poor action and prices scarcely
hold their own, although the general
level is about so cents below that OF q
yer ago. All Eastern markets report
supplies moderate and demand slow
There is little further change In prices
this week. The general range on New
York yellow stock Is $1.35 to SITS in
Eastern cities. White onions from
Maryland brought little more than
50 in Boston the first week of Sep
TENDER. Connecticut Valley shipping
points quote yellow onions steady OF
slightly lower at $1.15 to $1.25 anc
prices In the Rochester district declined
slightly to $1.25 per 100 pounds.
/ The seasons shortage of cabbage
| shipments, amounting to one-third, ha,
been mostly in the Southern crop 81
far. The large Northern acreage prom
ises fairly good carlot supplies, ever
where yield per acre Is light. Plent!
of rain this Fall would insure ampl,
shipments. Market supplies are mod
crate and demand slow. New Yorl
cabbage sells In Eastern cities arount
$40 per ton in bulk, This stock
quoted at $11 to $14 per ton in West
ern New York producing sections a
carlot shipping points. Much the sam
range of prices is quoted in Wisconsin

RAILROAD TRAFFIC INCREASES
GIVE SIGN OF BUSINESS GAIN

1t was this policy which made the Eng
lish cotton manufacturers so hard for
New England producers to beat in the
past The extent of foreign buying
OF this character cannot be accurately
determined now, for such buying Is be-
ing done as much under cover as pos
sible IN order not to boost prices.
Recent Developments.
Some backward industries are doing
far better than year ago. This Is true
OF coal. The drought has cut down
power production considerably, and coal
producers are being called upon to make
this up. The demand for gas, both
natural and artificial, has aided the
petroleum industry. So has the high
rate OF gasoline consumption. Produc-
ton OF crude oil has been fairly con-
slant. The anthracite mines are work
ing practically at capacity and addition
al soft coal properties are being opened
in the Midwest,
Steel demand continues remarkably
high and constant. The automobile in
duStry Is far from satisfied with sales
but there Is feeling that these sales
are merely being deferred, not lost.
There is q fine seasonal demand for ag-
ricultural equipment, but the main
pronts OF implement manufacturers this
year are expected to come from foreign
business. The dairy industry is in fine
condition, SO far as demand and stocks
are concerned, and improved equipment
Is cutting overhead and helping to make
up feed bills.
Retailers are finding inStallment sales

BETTER BUSINESS
FORECAST IS MADE
Gradual Improvement In
Trade Seen as Year Draws
to a Close.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, September 5.-The bus
mess outlook possesses o considerable
amount of optimism, and one may ex-
pect gradually improving business to
become more apparent Gs the year draws
to close, according to Gage p. Wright,
New York business and investment
counselor and head of the BUSINESS Eco
nomic Digest who also declares that
while scarcely any economist denies that
there will be general improvement in
business over nearby months, the extent
and the duration Of the recovery are
phases of the situation about which
there Is not so much agreement.
Sentiment Improves.
During the last fortnight business
sentiment has shown marked improve
menC as result of a better basis for
the releasing of substantial amount Of
favorable news" says Mr.. Wright. who
continues: we now find that observers
very generally express the belief that the
low point OF the current period of de-
preston in business has been reached.
"A seasonal improvement usually be-
gins during the latter part of August,
and extends well into October. There
are few able students who are not yet
greater than normal seasonal extent, in
deed. there is an occasional observer
VINO leans toward the belief that we may
witness less than a normal seasonal inn
provement. Furthermore. we find some
expression to the effect that although
the bottom probably has been reached,
the expansion during the coming
months will not be of great intensity,
and that the sustained upward trend
need not be expected before the turn
OF the new year.
Commodity Market.
Undoubtedly, sustained strength In
the commodity market will necessitate
more optimistic view by those observe
ers VINO are nlomentarily inclined, In
varying degree, to peSsimism. For some
time we have been pointing out the
probability that August would witness
q Mating in the long decline in COM
modify prices. Many of the various In
dlceS OF commodity prices are now re.
Meeting strength, and some have act.
ually turned upward. OF course an I'D.
ward movement would not be significant
unless 1t were of sustained character,
we helleve, however, that there is a very
strong probability that the upward turn.
wnlcn Is now discernihle, will be slls-
famed. II this proves to be the case.
we may expect more observers To In.
crease the favorable tenor of their prog
nostications.
This Is time when fear and on
tlmlsm play and important role. It In
important, therefore, to note that in the
recently improved sentiment the con.
tinued sharp advance in bond prices
mas played an important part. The
current strength in stock prices, if sus-
tained, VIII also do much to revive con-
nuence ana d1SSipate the extreme pes.
