La Guardia Urges IS Month
 Trial for Enforcement

Washington, Aug. IS P-Prohi- bition bobbed up again in capital discussions today after having yield ed the spotlight to the long drawn drought.
 Another proposal by Representa- tive LaGuardia, Of New York, re- publican wet bloc leader, suggesting a showdown on prohibition enforce ment effort, shared attention with a report by a Washington board of trade committee condemning em- ployment of disreputabl ble persons as stool pigeons and informers" by federal dry agents. in the district and the alleged disappearance of liquor seized in evidence.
 The report was prepared for the law enforcement commission.
 Suggests Drive
 LaGuardia suggested the depart ment of justice be given every fa- cility for a strong enforcement drive. He said the department was entitled to it in this last attempt 10 enforce the law"
 If they fail" the New Yorker added. T think the country should expect from them a fair, frank statement by the first regular ses- sion of the seventy second congress that it cant be done, or what is needed to enforce it against the will of the majority of the people in many states and quite a large per centage in other states"
 1 The board of trade report con- plained of 'lawless conduct" by i federal prohibition agents, listing i employment of "disreputable per sons as stool pigeons and inform CTS as one of the worst.

CUBS LIKE SOUTHpAWS
Manager Robinson of Brooklyn Club Verifies Opinions on Left. Flanders Against Chicago.

Chicago August Is P)-Manager Robinson of the Brooklyn Robins, long ago decided that southpaws would not do against the Cubs, and having verified this opinion yester- day by a to l defeat, had Senor Adolfo Luque as his selection for the final game of the crucial" series to- day.
 Manager Joe Mccarthy had Char lie Root, his veteran highlander, and young Malcolm Moss, the south paw who has won five straight, as his hurling possibilities today.
 Regardless of the outcome of to- days engagement, Brooklyn will leave Chicago in second place. A victory would place the Flatbush clan within ~percentage points of the Cubs, but no more than that.

" HOLESALERS'

inventories of wholesalers today

time-supply equation, according
to the Standard Statistics Com
pany, Of New York, which has
Just completed an intensive sur.
vey Of a cross-section of the
trade. Salient portions of the
results of the survey follow:
cat the outset IL is impor-
tant to note that the selection
of merchants interviewed was
left entirely to chance, in ac-
c0rdance with the principles
of random sampling. The firms
interviewed are located in the
New York metropolitan dis
trict, although the trading areas
include territories which are, in
most cases, country wide. Re
ports were subsequently edited
for accuracy and consistency,
and all doubtful ones eliminated.
Distributed according to
types of merchandise, 41.9 per
cent of the wholesalers han
died apparel and dry goods, 1876
per cent drugs, % per cent
groceries and 2I.5 per cent
hardware and paint. Classi-
fled according to trading areas,
48,6 per cent served the New
York metropolitan area, I per
cent did business within $50
miles of New York, S.3 per cent
served the Atlantic Seaboard
and 36,1 per cent had national
cOverage.
"Of this group, S1.5 per cent
state that their July and Au.
gust sales were below those of
the corresponding period of
1929, a. per cent report no
change and rs per cent report
increases.
Evidence elected by the in.
terviews indicates that the cur.
rent buying policy of $50 per
cent of the wholesalers is to
purchase films exclusively,
which might be anything from
case to several carloads.
About 20 per cent are purchas-
ing merchandise in quantities
sufficient to carry on business
pending the receipt of fresh
goods, but not sufficient to
maintain inventories. The re-
mainder are inclined to re-
plenish stocks through the
medium of special offers at
price concessions. More than
fOur-fifths of the wholesalers
report that they are buying
less frequently.
"As compared with a year

Steel UPTURN
CHEERING SIGN
] FORFEITURE
BY LEWIS HANEY
Director New York University Bureau
of Business Research and Former
Economist of Federal Trade

of Business Research and Former
Economist Of Federal Trade
Commission
In the midst of all the present
mass of rumors -and pessimism,
1t is good to find some clear and
definite facts about business. In
the latest report of the Iron Age,
we do find something that is
clear, definite and hopeful. 1t
indicates that the great iron and
steel industr" is holding UP rather
well. It prove what every reason
able man knows, namely, that
there are limits to business reces-
sion and price declines. When
those limits are reached, business
picks up.
Take the matter of prices, for
example. Under the influence Of
reduced buying by automobile
manufacturers, the price Of steel
sheets has fallen to very low
levels. But, now we find both
that the sheet manufacturers are
insisting on better prices and that
buyers are willing to pay better
prices. The Iron Age states posi-
ttively that price advances on
steel sheets recently announced
are becoming established as the
a14arket levels
4 Buying Increasing
Another important point shows
how the postponement of buying
on the part of industrial consur1-
efs finally leads to increased pur-
ckases. This careful and authori-
tative trade journal says that
considerable business that had
been deferred during the summer
ID now coming into the market"
In many cases, the consumers
Of steel had allowed their supplies
to become so run down that re-
plenishment has now become i'm
perative. Business men have to
carry reasonable stocks of new
materials, and just as soon as
prices quit declining they hurry
to lay in what they require.
A condition of general ecouo-
H1izing like that we have been
going through always works its
own cure. Manufacturers let
their stocks of materials get low
Merchants let their stocks OF
goods run down. Consumers wear
out their shoes, tires, and many
other things. Meanwhile, the
postponement of buying puts
prices down.
Then comes the time when
everybody needs things, and prices
are right, so the wheels begin to
turn again.
Greater Activity Noted
The Iron Age points to num-
ber of industries now showing
greater activity, such as radio,
stoves. steel barrels, and farm inn
plements. In spite of the back
ward buying, by automobile and
railway. consumers, therefore, we
learn that aggregate specifica-
tfons (for SteeD are averaging
close to IS per cent higher than
in August"
The fact that. some weaknesses
are pointed out, makes us all the
more confident that the favorable
items are true. We are told that
raw steel has been produced in
excess of finishing requirements,
that sales of fabricated structure
steel are the lowest since early
July. and that pig iron prices
have fallen again.
But the impression we get is
that the final readjustments in
prices and in production are being
made which will allow recovery
next year. Meanwhile things are
by no means as bad as they
might he.
