ON MARKET
OUTLOOK

While q better sentiment was
noted in financial circles today
there still remained an undertone
of caution and doubt. It was
generally agreed the purchase Of
the better grade of stocks on re.
cessions was justified.
The market Is bound to break
out on either side in the near
future and our guess Is that IL
will be on the upside.-BAAR,
COHEN & CO.
Believe that new commitments
may we'll be deferred awaiting
further tests of the markets tech
nical position. If definite support
is evident on any reaction this
week the purchase of stocks for
further advance will appear justi-
fied.-OTIS & co.
See Upturn Near.
We are inclined to believe the
commodity price situation and
other irldices of general business
conditions have reached the low
average level and that the normal
tendency of business to improve
in the fall of the year will ap-
pear in the near future.-TOBEY
& KIRK.
The strength shown In the rail
road issues is an encouraging in
dication for this weeks trading.
There appeared to be a slight in
crease in public participation but
not enough to serve as a basis for
any enthusiasm.-M. j. MEEHAN
g. co.
Feel that profit taking viii

week to an extent important
enough to slow up the advance
or bring about technical reac-
tion.-HORNBLOWER & WEEKS.
Urge Buying on Dips.

starts will probably await Q fur.
ther upward trend in business

at hand. Good securities will now
be in a buying range on all re-
actions.-H. HENTZ 81 co.
We strongly advise taking I'D.

Sh0Us Big Increase

Reporting a greater increase
in electric output and gas sales
for the first six months of 1890
over the first half of last year
than was recorded during the
same period in 1929 over 1928,
the board Of directors Of Ameri-

poration in a letter to stocGhold-
ers, made public today, calls at
tention to the fact that, 'in
spite Of much haphazard com

American business enterprises
are doing as large a business as
in 1928. while many are doing
a greater business than in 1929,

Showing an increase of Is per

half Of this year totaled 1881 :

PLANTS RISE

RICHMOND. Va, Aug. 10.
Progress on the plant Of the
Vanadium Corporation of Ameri.
ca in Amherst and Nelson cou1-
ties, Va, has reached the point
where production will start in
December, it was learned here.
The plant will cost in excess of
$2,000,0OO and the construction
is being done by the Stone and
Webster Engineering Company.
Inc.
Engineering work has been
completed and the equipment for
the plant has been ordered. The
installation of the equipment
will start as soon as the build
ings are rooted.
The company, after three years
of exploration work, blocked out
a large body of nelsonite ore on
the properties in the two coun-
ties. The nelsonite Is combina-
ton of ilmenite. which is the
basic mineral for titanium prod
ucts and spatite, which Is one
of the base materials for phos-
phoric acid products.
The greatest present use for
titanium products is the pig
ment industry. Phosphate salts
are used in great quantities in
baking and other industries. Au-
thorities in the paint trade claim
titanium dioxide Is superior to
white lead
The ore vein can be steam
shoveled and carried to the
chemical buildings by conveyors.
There will be two main chemical
buildings at the plant. One will
convert the apatite into phos-
phate salts and the other will
convert the ilmenite into tita-
mum products.

Grain Ripening Fast
In Canada, Is Report

The weather generally in the
three prairie provinces OF Canada
is hot and dry, and all grains are
ripening rapidly. according to the
latest crop report of the Bank OF
Montreal. Harvesting is now gen
eral in Manitoba and should be
in full swing in Alberta and Sas-
katchewan in a few days. Rust
has reduced grades in Manitoba
and is taking toll in Eastern and
Northwestern Saskatchewan. In
Quebec the weather continues IA
vorable, and a good average crop
of barley and oats is expected.
IN Ontaria. while some sections
are suffering severely from
drought, the weather has been ia
vorable for harvesting, which is
we'll, advanced. In the maritime
provinces indications are that
the crop of oats will be above
the average. In British Columbia
unusually hot weather prevails,
but crops generally are expected
to come up to previous estimates.
