STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN LATE DEALINGS
Market Sells Off Near Close
After Firm Tone During
Day.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, September 3-Bears
found the stock market ripe for tech
nical reaction today. but by early aft
ernoon the adjustment appeared to have
been completed and bulls once more
gained the upper hand.
The indecisive action of the market
yesterday indicated to the bear crowd
that many traders long of stocks were
anxious to take profits after the rise of
last week, and the continued lack of
public buying was evidently somewhat
diScouraging to operators for the rise.
The selling movement failed to gain
any velocity, however, and few pivotal
shares sold off more than a point, al
though some were depressed 2 to 4.
Publication of Iron Ages weekly review
of the steel situation apparently helped
TO turn the tide in the early afternoon.
Further reductions in the dividend
rates of Kennecott Copper and Nevada
Consolidated were not unexpected ow-
ing to continued sluggishness of the
market for red metal and had been
largely discounted marketwise. The
continued piling up of dividend red,c-
ton announcements. however. was not
helpful to the cause of higher stock
prices. Glidden, Maytag, Bonn Alum
mum and Spencer Kellogg were among
Arms announcing reductions.
Despite the soggy appearance of the
market, bull operators found further
signs of seasonal upturn in business
reportS.s Total freight car loadings and
the production of bituminous coal both
recorded wider than seasonal gains in
the third week of August, according to
statistics coming to hand. That some
of the chain store companies are man
aging to increase their earnings over
last year was indicated by w. T.
Grants report for the six months ended
July 81, showing an increase of 10 per
cent in sales over the period of a year
ago.
The speculative appetite for stocks,
whetted by rise of more than points
in Bethlehem Steel and by pool opera
lions in a few specialties, appeared to
have been satisfied in the final hour
and the list slid downward. United
States Steel, American Telephone,
Radio, General Electric and American
Can returned to around the lower levels
of the morning, where they showed
moderate net losses. Case, Standard
Gas 81 Electric and Columbian Carbon
were soft. Call money rose to 212 per
cent. The close was heavy Sales ap-
proximated 100000 shares.

COMMODITY EXCHANGE
REFERENDUM STARTED

A referendum on commodity exchange
trading was submitted today by the
Chamber of Commerce of the United
States to its more than 1000 member
organizations.
The referendum, based on the report
of special committee of the chamber,
under the Craftsmanship of William F.
Gephart, vice president Of the First
National Bank of st. Louis and presi-
dent of the Bankers Association for
Foreign Trade, presents the questions
to be passed upon in the form of four
recommendations. These are:
/. That commodity exchange trading
should be supported.
2. That trading in futures on COM
modify exchanges should be supported
3. That intelligent and wisely regu-
lated speculative buying and selling on
commodity exchanges should be sup
ported as a necessary factor in the eco
nomic distribution of agricultural prod
ucts.
4. That commodity exchanges should
adopt such changes in their rules ana
regulations as will promote not only the
interest of the producer, the merchant
and the manufacturer of agricultural
commodities, but also the general well
fare of the public.

BUSINESS OUTLOOK
STUDIED BY GROUPS
Survey Shows Industries
Which Should Make Prog
reSS in Near Future.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 3-The
prospects for the principal industries
of the country are grouped by the
Standard Statistics Co. of New York
in a current survey, according to the
following list
Most promking-Ch Chain stores, cleo
trical equipment, shipbuilding, tobacco
cigarettes; utilities, electric light and
power, and utilities, telephone and
telegraph.
Good-Cement, Chemicals. machinery
and machine equipment and motion
pictures.
Neutrality-suspicious. machinery,
meat packing, oil producing, oil refining
and marketing.
Fair--Automobiles passenger. auto
mobiles, trucks: automobile parts,
building, department stores, fertilizers,
radio, railroads, railroad equipment,
shoes, steel and iron, sugar refining
and tobacco, cigars.
Poor-Aircraft, apparel, automobile
tires, coal, copper, cotton goods, lead,
leather, lumber, rayon, shipping, silk
goods, sugar producing, utilities, trac-
lions, etc; wooden goods and zinc.
The most promising" group COM
prises those industries which are dis
playing relatively the best resistance
to the general business recession and
which should more nearly approach, II
not equal. 1929 earnings results in
1890. While al lof those trades rated
1880. While all of those trades rated
ing a contraction of earning power, de-
cline in total 1880 profits is expected
to be smaller than average.
Several industries are listed as sun
certain" because 1880 results will be
largely determined by unpredictable
factors. Most of the divisions rated
fair" will experience sizably smaller
returns this year than last although
showings should be more satisfactory
than those in the poor" group several
of which probably will operate at 9
loss in 1880.

WHY FAT MEN
STAY FAT

"The trouble with me, and
guess this applies to 80 percent
of the men who are putting on
weight, didn't have the energy or
pep to keep it off. Lost all inter-

Start taking Kruschen Salts
that's the common-sense way to re-
duce-but don't take them with
the idea that they possess reduc-
ing qualities in themselves.
This is what they do-they clean
out the impurities in your blood by
keeping the bowels, kidneys and
liver in splendid working shape and
fill you with vigor and tireless
energy you'd most forgotten had
existed.
AS a result instead of planting
yourself in an easy chair every
free moment and letting flabby
fat accumulate you feel an urge
for activity that keeps you NOV
