WEEKLY BANK CLEARINGS.

Bank clearings continue to make an
adverse showing. The total this week
for leading cities in the United States,
as reported TO Dun's Review, Of
$6,2l9,952,o00 is 1913 per cent below
last years. At New York City the
$4,033, 100000 is 41.o per cent under
that of a year ago, while the aggregate
at leading centers outside of New York
of $2,186,9 900 is 1871 per cent smaller.
The week includes only five business
days. Losses remain large at practically
every center, and for the end OF the
month are further reduced by a con-
siderable amount, compared with earlier
returns. Settlements through the banks
in November, measured by bank clear
ings for that month in the five years
prior to 1929, were 7.6 per cent in
excess of those of October and 1913 per
cent higher than for September. For
November, this year, there is decline
of 1874 per cent from the figures for
october, while the amount this month
IS even below that of September, this
year. Bank clearings each month for
1929, excepting December, were alb
normally high, but in the final month
Of that year there was very large
falling of, the outcome of the collapse
which occurred at that time.
Clearings for the week as reported
to r. G. Dun 81 Co. and average daily
bank clearings for the last three months
are compared herewith.

BONDS IRREGULAR
IN ACTIVE TRADING
Investors Show Disposition
to Switch Into Higher
Yield Issues.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, November 29.-The
bond market had an irregular tone to-
day. But its action carried a certain
significance in that high-grade railroad
bonds were being somewhat heavily
sold, while higher yield issues of the
secondary public utility and industrial
types and foreign dollar bonds made
some progress.
With money rates unchanged at their
bottom and many bonds selling below
levels discounting all features Of the
current business depression, there was
evidence in the market of switching
to secure higher returns on capital
Trading, for Saturday session, was
moderately active.
Early Changes.
Right from the opening there was
moderate liquidation in bonds of the
savings bank class. AtchiSon general
As were OF point on long string
of selling orders. There were dips
ranging from the fractions to points
In Baltimore & Ohio As, Canadian Ma
tional IS, Canadian Pacific As, Pennsyl-
vania 412S, Southern Pacific AIS, Frisco
A As, Union Pacific As, Great Northern
Is, Chesapeake & Ohio 4las, Chesa-
peake Corporation SIS and Nickel
Plate 413s.
The last named were of points,
their weakness coinciding with heavi-
ness in Van Sweringen per cent notes,
Allegheny Corporation SIS and other
securities Of the Van Sweringen group
Some of the losses were partly retraced
in the last hour.
Convertible issues had an indeter-
inmate trend. The feature of this group
was q drop Of 81 points in Atchison
convertible AIS. Warner Bros. Picture
IS were of points.
It was apparent that some of the
switching was benefiting high yield and
semi-Speculative issues. Chicago &
Eastern Illinois SIS, st. Paul adjust
mentS, st. Poul SIS. Erie general lien
As, Florida East Coast SIS, Missouri
Pacific As, Southern Railway As and
Frisco AIS were firm in fairly active
trading. There were also gains in
some industrial issues currently selling
on high yield basis.
Foreign List.
In the foreign department outstand-
ing strength was shown by Peruvian
issues on the announcement that the
December interest and sinking fund
payment on the IS of 1860 had been
made to the New York bankers. Gains
were made by bonds at present return
ing yields of 8 to IL per cent, including
Chile 6s, Brazil 61zs, Colombia SIS,

STATE CONTROL OVER WATER
POWER DEVELOPMENT URGED

the 449 water-power projects licensed
by the commission are east of the Mis-
sissippi River, being concentrated in the
West California has more than a third
of the projects, while the three Pacific
Coast States together have half of the
total. Less than 10 per cent of the
projects are east of the Mississippi.
The capacity of all licensed plants in
service amounts to 2,608,868 horsepower,
or "a per cent of all hydro capacity and
less than per cent of the generating
capacity in public utility service
throughout the country. Eighty per
cent of the capacity operating under

to Alabama, California, Maryland and
New York. There are no plants oper-
ating under Federal license in ~ States.
THE effect of the Federal water-power
legislation has been of a sectional rather
than broad national significance" the

NEW YORK CENTRAL.

NEW YORK, November 20 (Spe-
ciaD The most commented on Incl
dent in the latest break in railroad
shares Is the decline in New York Cen
trail TO a new low for the year. The
immediate effect of the pessimistic
statement Of the vice president of this
company on the railroad situation was
to cut of another 5000 600 in market
value from New York Central shares.
AT its present level the stock is yield
ing better than GA per cent, which
compares with over 634 per cent on
Pennsylvania, about per cent on
Lackawanna and slightly under 512 per
cent for Atchison and Union Pacific.
New York Central is the railroad stock
most favored In the portfolios Of the
investment trusts.

BUSINESS UPSW|NG
NOTED IN REVIEWS
Weekly Trade Surveys Point
to Seasonal GainS-Re-
Covery Is Steady.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 29.-The ad-
vent of cold weather and advance pur-
chases against the release of Christmas
funds next week caused some stimula-
ton in retail trade during the past week,
according to the business reviews by all
mercantile agencies. 1t is added, how
, ever, that general conditions are with
out a particularly indicative develop
ment.
Bradstreet's says, in part:
THE outstanding feature of the week
from a distributive trade standpoint has
been the spreading of cool weather over
most of the country with light to heavy
SHOWS or freezing weather, or both, in
the Northern tier of States, and heavy
snow cover and zero temperatures in
Rocky Mountain and Northwestern
areas. This has been help to sales OF
many kinds of wearing apparel and
| also aided early buying for the holidays
Christmas Savings.
I'm connection with this the releas-
! ing of savings funds by banks, set for
next week, has been a stimulant, with
some advance purchasing based on this
distribution already done. This has
effects upon retail trade as whole of
the numerous bank suspensions in the
Middle South and West, but not sufh-
Gent to lift Fall buying to a parity
with year ago. Wholesale and job
bling trade has tended to mark time,
with only a moderate hlling-in demand
noted in most centers.
In industry there has been the usual
tendency to slow down the pace Of gen.
eral industry, this aside from what con-
structive activities giving work to I'M
face Of the advent Of cold weather and
the completion of a great deal of the
years agricultural operations"
Dun's Review says, in part:
In the absence OF new phases OF
outstanding prominence, the main in
terest in business circles now centers
n the probable developments beyond
the short period remaining this year
Variations in the volume of current
trade largely reflect seasonal forces and
are not Of great importance, the really
significant movements being those with
fundamental bearing on future
trends. The recent moderate gains in
some quarters have afforded a measure
of encouragement, but an appraisal of
general conditions clearly shows that
widespread recovery is yet to be
achieved.
Policy of Caution.
Frequent reiteration of the state
ment that many commitments are be-
ing deferred reveals a close adherence
to the policy OF caution growing cut of
far-reaching economic changes, but dis
appointment over results in different
lines has arisen partly because of the
expectation Of more rapid revival than
the facts of the situation justified A
sharp and sweeping decline in whole
sale quotations naturally has been a
disturbing influence everywhere. and the
readjustment to an altered basis of con-
sumption, production and prices could
not quickly be completed.
The transition to a sounder basic
status, however, has been proceeding
steadily, and the point has been
reached where a more confident view
Of the prospects appears to be war
ranted."

AUBURNDALE, Mass, November 90
P).-The final week of November re-
corded REPETITION of trends which have
been in effect for many months. The
month Of November failed to bring
about an increase in production Sched-
ules for leading industries. Demand re-
manned conservative and the critical
status OF unemployment and low pur-
chasing power is causing widespread
alarm. Surveys recently completed show
one outstanding favorable factor, name
~ that stocks Of raw materials are not
increasing with the rapidity of a few
months ago and equally important
stocks in manufacturers, dealers and
wholesalers hands are sharply under
average
Just as the supply and demand ratio

that the majority Of basic industries are

All Commodity Prices.
The decline of all commodity prices
was not due to any one particular group,
but represents a general sagging in
many lines, such as the industrial list,
building materials, fuels, hides and
leather, non-ferrouS metals. ferrous
metals and textiles, both fine and coarse
Industrial Prices.
Minor weakness was shown by indus
trial prices, yet the trend for the month
of November was distinctly downward.
Lower prices have been caused by large
stocks of raw materials, keen competi-
ton and conservative demand.
Non-Ferrous Metals.
Declines again were shown by nom
ferrous metals as copper reached q new
low on the present decline of 1912 cents
The other price changes in the nom
ferrous group were of minor Importance
With the exception of copper, price

moderate decline in silk, textiles de-

in recent months, has been maintained
Agricultural Prices.

STOCK MARKET Is NEAR
NEW TEST OF STRENGTH

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, November 90. The
stock market is rapidly getting down
to a price area where it will be tested
in respect to its ability to hold above
the November 10 averages. More than
half of the average recovery between
November 10 and November 81 has al
ready been lost The rail average at
the opening today was only a point
above that to which, it dropped about
three weeks ago.
Brokers are again cautioning their
customers against buying stocks except
on sharp declines, and recommending
a general attitude Of standing aside
until it becomes apparent whether
enough buying power develops to sup
port the list around the previous bot
tom figures.
