IMPROVEMENT
SEEN IN RETAIL
BUYING
Profit-taking In Rails Slows
Down That Section Some
what; COppers Move Up
By w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-Leaders
IN the moderate upward move
ment Of prices at the weekend
included the utilities, the special.
ties and the New York City Trac.
ton stocks. The shorts who had
been locked in" In Johns Man
willie, Auburn Auto, j. !. Case and
other closely-held specialtieS were
given another jolt as prices were
rushed UP to 4 points. Further
progress in the upward move OF
the bond market was distinctly
encouraging to the bulls, and the
weekend business reviews showed
further improvement in retail
buying.
Profit taking in the rails, after
the sharp upturnS Of the past
few days, was to be expected.
Selling from this source blocked
the further advance Of the best
grade railroad stocks, but in most
cases the ground gained in Fri
days spectacular advance was
well retained. Higher prices were
recorded for Interboro Rapid
Transit, Brooklyn Mani titan
Transit, Manhattan Elevated and
other city traction stocks on the
brighter prospect for subway uni
fication. |.
Columbia Gas and Electric was
a leader In the utility stocks and
moved up ga points at SO. New
gains Of a point or so were re-
corded for North American, Ma
tional Power and Light, Ameri.
can and Foreign Power, Standard
Gas and Consolidated Gas.
Johns Manville forged ahead
briskly to 5834, completing a 10,
point rally from the low of the
week. Warner Brothers at 1872
showed 6-point recovery and
Paramount at 39Aa was up 5
points.
The coppers turned upward for
the first time this week, on the
firmer market for the red metal
around 10 cents q pound. Stocks
OF the food companies and soft
drink concerns, which have been
battered around the board in the
last few days, staged a mild
comeback, principally at the ex,
pense Of the shorts.
The grain market developed
considerable weakness in the sec.
ond hour, with July wheat at
6612 cents a bushel at Chicago,
the lowest price since 1901. Cot
ton was inactive and lightly
higher, with prices up / to
points. Local commodity markets
were steady. Prime industrial
and railroad bonds continued the
forward movement inaugurated
earlier in the week.
The Washington times., 1930-12-20
Normally IL Near

It is generally conceded that the
wholesale liquidation of stocks
from injured and weak holders,
or from banks and investment
trusts who fear they may need
cash in a hurry has receded to
small volume. With this weak
kneed" selling menace removed,
the market has been PLACED in bet
ter position to respond to normal
developments in business and in Sc
curity buying. A definite upward
turn in the bond market Is evi-
dence of the more confident frame
of mind of big investors generally,
including those who buy for the
insurance companies and savings
banks.
Leaving technical market con-
Siderations to the day-to-day pro-
feSsionalS, it can safely be said
that stock prices will trend per-
manently upward when the indus
trial recovery is within close
enough range to warrant such q
move, not sooner. Many conserve
tive investors have been proceed
ing on the theory that it is better
to pay higher prices for stocks
than impatiently awaiting an up
turn in business.
Bond Outlook Temporary
The recent unSettlement in the
bond market which has caused q
large part Of the investment pub
lie to place some doubt upon the
staying qualities Of any price up
turn in equity values, is regarded
by investment sources as a tenn
porary and technical condition
within the market itself, and not
due to any lack Of confidence in
the situation as whole.
Chain stores Tested
The chain store idea has sue
cessfully met it's first severe test

With the help Of the rail-

ahead brilliantly on new
merger" rumors, the stock
market was able to consoli-
date its ground yesterday.
New advances In prime rail
shares extended from 3 to z
points, bringing the net
gains from the low Of the

by New York Central.
The rails were as COM

ably the most important
factor in their. spectacular
recovery.

yields during the previous ten years.
The corn crop, estimated as OF
August l to aggregate 2,211, ,823,OOO
bushels compared with 2,614, 600
produced a year ago, is expected to
be the smallest since 1901. A crop of
2,S02,OOO 1000 bushels was forecast a
month ago. Further deterioration OF
possibly 1OO,OOO,OOO bushels since
August l was estimated, indicating a
harvest of about 25 per cent less
than in 1929.
Production of all wheat was plac-
ed at 82O,613, 900 bushels, compared
with an estimate a month ago of
807 100000 bushels and 8O6,OOO,OOO
bushels last year.
Winter wheat production was es-
timated at 597 $4,000 bushels COM
pared with 55S,OOO,OOO indicated a
month ago and 578,OOO,OOO bushels
grown last year.
Durum wheat production was es-
timated at 48,29O,000 bushels COM
pared with 57,O00,000 bushels fore
cast last month and 52,000,000 bush
els in last years crop.
Other spring wheat production
was indicated at 174,931 900 bushels
as against 193,OOO,00O bushels fore
cast Il month ago and 176.000,0OO
bushels harvested in 1929.
Fruit already damaged by cold
weather and hail in the early stages
of formation was further harmed by
the drought. The yield of apples is
estimated at 8.145,GOO bushels below
normal, but considerably above last
years crop. Peaches with an esti-
mated harvest of 100000 bushels is
about half the size of the normal
crop.
Grapes, the report shows, will eX-
ceed last years crop by 250,000 tons
which a yield of 2,35O,OOO tons indi-
Gated on August l.
White potatoes are expected to
yield 373,00000O bushels against

the increase that would follow the
dredging of the channel. To support
his contention he submitted statis-
tics on the volume of business in to-
matoes done in recent years.
These figures disclose that in 1925
Lebanon Shipped 44,676 baskets of
tomatoes valued at $14,49S, whereas
in 1927, just two years later, the
volume had risen to $4,000 baskets
valued at $32,935. And last year,
1929 shipments amounted to 1861
baskets valued at $38,098.
1t was declared in Senator Hast
ings' communication that it was es-
timated that over 100000 baskets,
averaging Al cents each and total
ing $125,000 in value, were declined
for shipment at Lebanon because
vessels of sufficient size cannot ply
the stream. These tomatoes were
shipped from Smyrna, Leipsic and
Frederick, at an added cost to the
farmer-shipper of about five cents
a basket for haulage.
Shipping interests want the Gov
ernment to provide a channel depth
of seven feet, at a cost, as said, of
little more than $4,000.

seeing any signs of. fire he left. At
eight o'clock Monday morning peO-
pie in the neighborhood found that
the flames had spread and at least
half an acre was ablaze. Fire COM
panies and men were hurried TO the
place but there was no water and
all the firemen and others could DO
was to save some dwellings which
were close by.
State Forester Taber was sum
moned and with the owners of the
wood spent the entire day at the
place directing the fire fighting. 1t
was found that it would be neces-
sary to run a ditch for three miles
in order to get water to the scene.
The fire was spreading so rapidly
that this was out of the question.
State Forester Taber Monday
night made another plea to people
of the State not to burn brush or
start any other kind of fire at this
time when everything is dry and
there is no water in many places to

a running mate for Mr.. Bayard will
be selected soon, to seek the Con-

Mr.. Bayard's running-mate will
also be a wet" probably from lower

campaign for the nomination on a
platform advocating repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment.
State Senator Willard f. Deputy,
of Laurel, is being mentioned for the

"dry."
Who the Bayard faction of the
party plan to bring out for the Con-

There will be a contest for dele

Persistent reports that both Mr..
Bayard and Mr. Marvel might with
draw leaving the way clear for the
nomination of a compromise candi-

The name of former U. S. Judge
Hugh NJ. Morris has been mentioned

In speaking of this condition Mr..
