NEW YORK, Aug. % U.N.S0.
With the exception of the oils,

with the confident forecasts of
industrial leaders during the week.
The copper stocks staged a

OUTPUT SLASH
POINTS WAY To
RECOVERY

ssAmong the favorable factors In
finance and business, we can list
the following as being absolutely
sound and free from bunk.
Production in the average fac
tory is now much below any
estimate Of normal" Even II
you are one of those pessimists
who think. the broad trend is
going to be downward for several
years you must admit that cur
rent production is below require
If1ents. This means that it is
only question Of time until ex-
cess supplies remaining from past
production will be used up.
Then plants will have to in
crease production again, just 10
fill ordinary requirements. They
will then have to take on more
employees, and pay more wages.
That will start things up.
Crop Conditions Relieved.
The drought condition has been
relieved. This is shown by lower
corn and wheat prices, as well as
by the slump in cotton. It Is
much better to have good crops
even at low prices, than poor
crops at high prices. While con-
siderable damage has undoubtedly
been done to corn, hay and GER
tain fruits and vegetables, the
situation is not nearly as bad as
the pessimists painted it q week
or two ago. #Ig =.
Another point worth noting Is
the absence Of large commerciSl
failures. Usually lin, the course OF
a severe business depression, like
the one we have been witnessing,
we are startled To hear Of some
big failure. This time there mas
been none. Is this not good evil
dence as to the strong financial
position of our big industrial aud
financial companies.
Bank Reserves Gain
Some signs of betterment in the
banking position may also be seen.
The net reserves Of the member
OankS nave &IC6I1y AAANAOebOS0 OSAA~ =
are now again large enough IN
comparison with deposits like
particularly the decline in col.
lateral loans last week. Such
loans are still too large, but they
are now the lowest since early IN
July, and are only $SO3, ,O0O, 900
above year ago.
OF course, too, savings deposits
are growing, as they always do
when times are hard. In time
such. deposits will furnish the
backlog for increased buying.
The prices of a good many basic
commodities are getting low
enough-cotton and copper, for
example. Just as soon as this is
realized, and commodity markets
become stabilized, buying will pick
up.
Just as we overdo optimism at
the top, so we go too far with
pessimism at the bottom. Business
men stop buying just because
prices are declining. They hold
off until they are under-supplied. l.
Then, when they find commodity
markets firming up, they place
orders with a rush.
I think that good many COM
moditieS are now down to an in
VeStment basis.

Trade Commission
Market sentiment has plainly
improved q little. This is indicated
not only by the creeping advance
in stock prices, but also by q
strong tendency to focus atten-
ton on good news. Unfavorable
items are ignored except as af-
fecting particular stocks.
This change in sentiment Is
partly a natural revulsion from
preceding bearish exceSSes and
partly due to the ability of prices
to rise. Many market students
are now reflecting that the aver
ages have failed to decline below
previous low levels and that
traders are not paying as much
attention to bad news. Stocks
stand up well under such selling
pressure as is applied.
The gradual and orderly char
actor of the advance Of the past
few days has doubtless impressed
some more favorably than the
sharp run-up of week ago.
Hail Steel Upturn
But back of any improvement
in sentiment lies the hope of
seasonal gains in business. It is
reasoned that business activity is
bound to show at least some Of
the usual pick up which comes
with the approach of the fail
season. Thus we find the an
nouncement of a slight and be-
lated gain in steel operations be-
ing hailed with enthusiasm as
marking the first sign of a sea-
Sonal turn.
for some third-quarter buying to
appear in August. This would
not necessarily indicate any real
change in the underlying trend.
But any change is a relief, and
even a slight ability to respond
to seasonal forces shows that
business is still alive. Where
there is life there is hope.
So even the bears have ap-
parently turned temporarily 70
the bull side. According to re-
ports they still believe that any
seasonal gains viii be disappoint-
ing and look for another reaction
when this is realized. For the
present, however, they have with
drawn heavy selling pressure.
Unquestionably there has been
rather steady short covering.
Chances Favor Rise
In fact, it seems best to regard
the recovery as being merely a
technical rally chiefly based on
short covering. If this is the case.
| it is likely to be checked as soon
as prices approach the upper lev.
els of August 5. Already the aver
ages have regained at least SO per
cent Of the ground lost between
then and August IL. AS the over.
sold position is corrected, the
market will come to depend more
and more upon the business news.
It is, to say the least, highly un.
certain whether this will be such
as to warrant a sustained advance
that will carry through previous
upper resistance levels.
It seems just at present that the
chances favor a further gradual
rise between now and Labor Day.
Certainly bullish operations are
showing greater strength, while no
tendency to broad liquidation is
apparent. s.
1t seems equally true, however,
that the small investor should
avoid most of the low-yield issues
4 which are still so prominent-at
least until tangible evidence of a
more than seasonal turn in busi.
ness is apparent.

Pharaoh's Curse in Garage

Centuries before Socrates drank
the hemlock men knew that anyone
shut in small room with a brazier
of burning charcoal would be taken
out dead. Even savages knew, as
they know now, that because Of
some terrible poison-the Oldest
known to mankind-safe fires are
to be built only at the mouths of
caves and not in the unventilated
depths. We now recognize the poi
son to be carbon monoxide, and its
presence in long-unopened caves or
tombs probably explains the mys-
FERROUS deaths Of early excavators
and tomb robbers, and may be re-
sponsible, it has been suggested, for
the legend of Pharaoh's curse.-E.

Damage Done to Trees
When the Sap Freezes

Sap in trees frequently freezes
during the winter. The freezing
point of water is decreased by the
addition of substances in solution.
Since sap contains various solutes
its freezing point is considerably
below 90 degrees and accordingly
it does not freeze in moderate
freezing temperatures. Trees are
further protected by the fact that
the moisture content is not so great
near the surface in the winter as
it is in the summer. But the sap
freezes during extremely cold
spells and sometimes much damage
is done to the trees.
The United States forest service
says that in the Canadian woods
when the temperature is 40 to 90
degrees below zero the ruptures of
tissues in trees caused by freezing
can often be heard as sort of
sharp report. As a rule freezing
that produces sufficient pressure to
rupture the tissues results in verti-
cal cracks running up and down
the trunk.
In succeeding seasons of growth
the tree attempts to heal over
these cracks but ridges of protrud-
ing scar tissue remain as evidence
of the ruptures. The wood of trees
is frequently frozen, but generally
no serious rupture results because
the moisture is evenly distributed
through the tissue. - Pathfinder

next him at dinner who a certain
gentlman was, like a hippopota-
