Irregularity in the morning hours

fore the close The recovery, OF course,
was due to the covering in of commit

would not have covered If they Lad
not been convinced that the list was
sold out Railroad shares. which had
been weak early in the session, rallied
with the industrials, although the
larger gains were made by the latter.
Among the features on the upside
were American Can, Eastman Kodak,
J. I. Case and du Pont. United States
Steel was up over point.
Commodities were stronger today.
especially the grains.
The weekly report of railway car load
ings showing an increase over the pre-
ceding week, was disappointing because
the increase was less than seasonal. If
the time for the gains to begin. The
weekly iron and steel trade reviews
we're unable to "foreshadow a seasonal
rise in production" as one Of them put
it. The rate of steel operations was
lower than it was q week ago and this
was discoursging.
Stocks opened irregularly, with United
States Steel under moderate pressure
and a number of new lows in the rail-
way list, including Canadian Pacific,
Southern Railway, Chicago 81 North
The high-priced Norfolk d Western
dropped points.
Volume, however, was low even for
these abnormally dull times Declines
brought out no liquidation Of impor-
lance and after an hour or so the list
began to harden, so that net changes
on the day were mostly fractional. 1t
was as impressive a demonstration Of
sold-out condition as could be desired.
Meanwhile, there Is an unwieldly short
interest which can only cover at profit
If stocks are offered from the outside
from individual or institutional actual
holders who are led to liquidate volun-
tarily or involuntarily. Lacking any
such development, the stage is set for
rapid reversal on any good news.
On the recovery it was stocks in
which this short interest was largest
that lead the way. American Telephone
& Telegraph, Eastman Kodak and
American Can are Illustrations. Before
it rallied American Can had come
within Il of its previous low for the
year The dividend news included
declarations Of the regular rates by
Standard Brands and by Union Carbide
& Carbon. The New Haven Railroad
directors do not act until September 8.
Tobacco stocks were steady after their
weakness of the day before. Oils held
their own, but that was about all. The
motor stocks were firm. Money was
unchanged and in liberal supply.

dening. faising chickens, odd jobs
around homes, assisting wives in
canning fruit and vegetables and
fishing are answers to the question,
what do the unemployed of this city
do to pass away the days with no
job awaiting them each morning?
Observers say more vegetables
have bee nraiSed on back lots this
year than ever in the history of the
city. Many other idle men have
turned to raising chickens both for
meat and eggs. A little cash is
earned by making repairs and i'm
provements for neighbors, cutting
grass, washing and tuning up auto
mobiles and endless family tasks
Painting automobile tops for pass
ing motorists on the public square
has kept one man busy most Of the
summer. He earns so cents for each
job.
Much fruit and vegetables have
been preserved in home kitchens,
and while many men don't care to
admit it, husbands out of jobs have
helped with the work.
With much idle time on their
hands. many unemployed may be
found along the banks of Wildcat
creek and stone quarry holes seek
ing fish for the larder.
Baseball playing on vacant lots
is another diversion that has a
large following. Physicians state
that the strain of being idle for long
periods soon tell on those happier
when busy.
