about O stable recession on the New York
Exchange yesterday afternoon on the pre-
text that q cabinet crisis In England was
looming and that move was on foot in
the United States to lower steel wages.
There Is probably little foundation for
either Of these things, at least for the time
being.
The turnover remains relatively re-
stricted, and whatever change Of impor-
lance takes place In theSprice Of securities
is almost exclusively the result OF profess
sional activity. The elements committed
to the bear side find 1t, however, increas-
ingly difflcult when they set out to cover
their engagements. This is due to the
fact that stocks have, generally speaking,
reached levels where retention Is likely to
prove far more advisable than q sale.
Some Of the best informed investors are
inclined to adopt somewhat more cheer
full view concerning the future, believing
that many lines will stage q comeback in

LAtyian income for budgetary pur-
poses has been running approximately

Of last year The government explained
this was due to the fact that income

short-term loan was necessary to cover
this deficit.
A bill was presented at the last ses-
sion Of Parliament, and, although there
was considerable opposition, it was
passed and the government has been

agreed part OF the proceeds would be

Tonopah, New, (UP).-"There's something about this town that gets a feller-"
 The speaker. a travelling man, had the appearance of a man who had been out all night investigat- ing the Nevada wide open gam bling law and now was wondering what kind of a fairy story to tell the wife.
 q don't know what it is," he sighed, "but do know if one comes here on the water wagon, the wagon soon gets bumped into some thing and off he goes, and"
 Well, you know," laughed a by- stander, "Tonopah is where the moon shines brightest-it"s not SC long ago since Bill Booth, former ly editor of the late Evening Bo- nanza, wrote an article in which he boldly stated that Tonopah made the best liquor in the world, and the next day. in a speech before a luncheon club, he heiterated the statement and cut off all opposing argument by declaring. I ought to know. I drink enough of it my self.'"
 Well" resumed the travelling man. "Bill may be right, but what I want to know is why a fellow who starts to go to church in Tonopah ends up at a dance hall. or if he steps into . club, he finds himself scattering red chips and blue chips over the roulette table and watch ing the little ball drop"

Buying
 In Weeks Market
Renewed Activity Seen as Overture on Part of Buyers
 to Sound Out Fall Outlook
NEA Chicago Bureau.

consequently there has been some disposition among the investing community to be influenced by the prevalently pessimistic attitude that has grown so nearly univer- sal, and accordingly to abstain from buying for the time being. There is no convinced short atti- tude in the market and a good deal of the current selling movement has been the result of mere dis couragement on the part of mem bers of the community who are disposed to realize what they can from their holdings and await new conditions. This is shown by the fact that loans to brokers have increased so little during re- cent weeks, and that genuine speculative commitments in most stocks have been on so limited footing. As a matter of fact. the majority of the indications con- corning the future of business are far from dfscouraging. There is good reason for the belief that. as often indicated in these advices the "corner" has been turned, and the general financial and business organization of the country is on its way to more prosperous state of things.
 While, for the past week, there has been greater activity in the market and renewed selling has been the order of the day, 1t has apparently had no sound or logi- cal basis, unless 1t be assumed that a generally and permanently low CT basis of value for all stocks is to be established. This there is no evidence to support, particularly when the enhanced asset value of most industries is considered. The majority of traders are quite evil dently acting from discourage ment, or on the basis of short term forecasts, which have led them to believe in lower prices. The state of things financially, however, is now at such q point that it would be easy to turn prices upward quite as quickly and vigorously as it has turned them downward at various times during the past two years. There has thus far been no positive indication of the trend of events in business for the autumn just opening, but there is plenty of ground for encouraging predic- tion in not a few industries. It would be easy for the trading pub lie to overstay the downward movement and at the same time neglect opportunities to buy sound shares at prices that will not recur again for a great while.

Sworn in at Opening Session This Morning Large
 Number Check in at City Hall

Louis LeClerc of 112 Baldwin street was the first new voter sworn in to-day as the period for "mak- ling" new electors opened this morn ing at 10 o'clock. MT. LeClerc, who is 34 years of age and who is a Inautralized citizen, headed a long line of prospective new voters. The number of new voters on hand at the opening of the swearing in" session to-day was surprise to the board of registration and the off, cials predicted that an excellent showing would be made this year.
 Registrars of Voters Henry O. Connor and Thomas F. Dillane, Town Clerk Dora A. Egan and Se- lectmen James Burnes, Domenic Barbieri and William Kenausis, the officials in charge of the making" of new voters under the provisions of the charter, started the work of swearing in the new electors at 10 o'clock.

 The storm struck in mid-after- noon, Thursday, with such sudden ness that the world was not in formed of the city's condition for IS hours.
 E. S. Rodenbaugh, chief pilot of Pan American airways who flew over Belize yesterday but was un- able to land gave an eye witness description of the citys plight, the first to come from the stricken zone.
 He described the city as entirely washed out" adding that no build ings escaped damage.
 Houses are tossed in a pile like toys" he added. "One area six blocks square is completely wiped out. Ships and barges are high on land and houses have been washed out to sea-"
 The U. S. S. cruiser Rochester left Balboa, canal zone, early today for Belize to assist in relief work in the center of the stricken erea. Marine corps planes from Managua, Nicaragua, were expected to greet the Rochester when it reaches the scene.
 The planes awaited only assemb- ling of supplies last night before taking off for Belize. The U. S. s. Swan was ordered from Trujillo Honduras as was the gunboat Sac ramento, also in ueighboring wa ters. -..
 A British ship, the Dane, sta- toned at Barbadoes, was reported enroute to Belize.
 Pan American airways radio last night broadcast an urgent request for medical supplies and anti-toxins to prevent the spread of epidemics which often take as many lives as the storms which start them.
 Immediate rispatch of 800 anti tetanus serum units, all kinds of clothing and bedding, 1000 dress ings for injuries. gauge, lint and other medical supplies was asked in the message, the first request for medical air received.
 The message, which was forward ed direct to Red Cross headquarters at Washington listed other wants as 100 quarter-grain morphine tab lets. insure of iodine 9 pints of carbolic acid crystals, 500 Mitchell clips and 100 mercurachrome tab lets.
 Belize was described by travel CTS as a city of little beauty or attraction. situated between a shnl- low bay, and a mangrove swamp, with the Belize river running down between. The population is about 12.500 persons.

 For safer highways. more sight ly cities, and more beautiful parks, the country is indebted in some de- gree to the thousands of unem- ployed who have been put to work improving roads, removing "eye- !, sores" and cleaning and dressing up public parks.
 Buffalo, N. r., originated a
 "man-a- block" movement. Resi. dential blocks were organized, each under a "block captain" who se- cured from each householder a promise to contribute a small sum each week to common fund which then was used to pay one unemployed man to shovel paths carry out ashes, and so on, for the block.
 One Massachusetts city allowed unemployed men to fill sacks at the municipal sand-pit and sell them to passing motorists and house holders for use on icy city streets
