CHECK ON BANK
STOCKS DIP

The trend of New York city
bank stocks was again downward
during August, but the decline
was slight as compared with
earlier months of the year, as
indicated by the averages COM
piled by Holt, Rose & Troster.
Trading was light and the high
and low range was the narrowest
for any month thus far in 1881.
The average for 16 leading
issues recorded a high of 80 on
August IS, a low of "a on August
Is, and ended the month with an
average of IS.
The stocks were strong and
active during the month and
moved against the trend. Manu-
facturers Trust was one, rising
from Az to 1874 and closing at
4512, a net gain of 4A points.
Guaranty Trust, after. touching
a high Of 454, eaSed to 423 and
recovered to AL, a net gain of
18 points from the low.
Insurance stocks, as indicated
by the averages, showed little
change, ranging between an av-
erage Of So and 81 during the
entire month, and closing at the
low levels.

PROFITS
ARE SEEN FOR
COPPERS
Costs of Production Below
Selling Prices for Most
Companies, Says Spectator
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Sept. Few cop
per companies, If any, will report
profits from 1881 opertionS, and
further downward revisions Of
dividends appear inevitable, &C
cording to an exhaustive survey
of the industry recently COM
pleted by Standard Statistics.
Figures disclose that 1872 pea
cent of the worlds output OF cop
per is produced at a cost OF less
than 8 cents a pound, 2A.4 per
cent between and 9 cents a
pound, 35.6 per cent above 8 cents,
and 9.8 per cent unaccounted Tor.
Selling Below Cost
These figures are based entirely
upon operating costs, not taxing
into consideration depreciation
and carrying charges on idle
properties.
Current quotations for the red
metal are the lowest on record
and below the production costs of
the majority of companies. as evil
denced from the foregoing set OF
figures.
However, present indications
that a definite start toward the
reduction of excess supplies Will
be made before the end OF the
current year leads this authority
to state that it is improbable
that materially lower quotations
will be established.
It declares that the more rea-
sonable expectation is for inter
mittent periods Of price strength
during forthcoming months.
Among the copper stocks, only
Anaconda and Kennecott are
favored, and these only for in
clusion in well-diversified port
folios.
Groups Above Average
While the market as a whole
did not display unusual buoyancy
in the past month, there were q
number Of groups which were
able to chalk up better than
average price gains in this period.
AS computed by a leading brok-
erage house, the oils recorded a
percentage gain of 18 per cent
in August. The amusementS
were up 14.9 per cent; chemicals,
"A per cent; steels, 2.8 per cent;
merchandising shares, 2.5 per
cent; utilities, 81 per cent; elec-
trical equipments, 1.8 per cent,
and foods, IL per cent.

UNITED AIR NET
D|SAPPO|NTS

United Aircraft and Transport
Corporations report for the sec.
ond quarter, showing net income
increase Of $34,808, or 4 per cent
over the first, did not reflect the
sharp seasonal upturn that usual
ly takes place in the company'S
earnings in the second three
months of the year.
In 1929 net income in the Sec
ond quarter amounted to $780,
O34, or an increase of 43 per cent
over the preceding three months,
and last year net in the second
quarter amounted to $1,202,140,
or an improvement of SO per cent
over the Immediately preceding
quarter.
Net income in the second quar-
ter this year amounted to- $841, ,456
after depreciation, minority inter.
estS, and Federal taxes, equivalent
after dividend requirements on
the 6 per cent preferred stock to
81 cents share on 2,083, ,791 CON-

This compares with $500, ,648, or
30 cents q share in the preceding

DROP LAID
To HEAT WAVE

, Yields Of principal crops are
"just about average" but the gen.
eral market and prices of farm
products is anything but reassur.
ing"
The Bureau of Agricultural Eco.
nomics thus summed up the gen
eral agricultural situation in its
monthly review yesterday. It
added:
"The effect Of the July heat
wave, together with lack Of
moisture, are now evident in
the reduced Out-turn Of oats,
barley, hay and in some appar-
ent damage to corn, potatoes
and fruits.
"Hay is o short crop in the
West. The total production Of
feed grains, corn, oats, barley
and SOrghums, promises to
amount to about los, zoo, 900 tons
or very nearly up to average.
Last year the figure was only
about 100000 tons.
"There is ample feed in the
country as q whole, although
with scarcity in parts Of the
West and Northwest"
AS regards the main cash crops,
wheat, cotton, tobacco, potatoes,
the chief concern seems to be
over the probable size of the sur.
plus for SALE"

389,255 or 34.2 per cent below
the 1929 level.
Miscellaneous freight loadings
totaled 280,590 cars, 2,5l7 cars
or 0.8 per cent below the pre-

38.4 per cent below 1929.

Oil Curb on Coast
Proves Effective

Voluntary curtailment of pc
troleum output on the Pacific
Coast is proving highly effective
in contrast to other methods, &C
cording to the Business Outlook,
published by the Wells Fargo Bank
& Union Trust Co. of San Fran
cisco.
Crude oil production is being
reduced more and more nearly ia
the desired 487 500 barrel daily
maximum. In the week ended
August 8, 1881 production aver
aged 505,000 barrels daily, against
$4,000 a month ago and 100000
a year ago.

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, January % LP.-Respon-
size to setbacks in Liverpool, wheat
quotations here tended downward today.
Liverpool declines were Ascribed to
weakness Of Australian exchange and
pressure to sell Australian wheat.
Opening unchanged to a cents of
wheat later held near to the initial
figures. Corn started unchanged to "a
over and afterward showed little alter
ration. III
Predictions of an increase of supplies
of wheat on ocean passage accompanied
reports of substantial clearanceS from
Southern Hemisphere sources. Con-
tinued adviceS of Argentine wheat crop
deterioration owing to wet weather were
thus more than offset. winnipeg mes
sages said Canadian traders had no
faith in reports Of an alleged offer by
Russia to attempt in combination with
Canada to stabilize wheat sales prices
with cost of production as minimum,
and that all exporting countries would
have to be in such combination to
make 1t workable.
Reports of lower prices for bread at
tracted notice quincy, Ill, dispatches
said selling of 16-ounce loaves at cents
each began today at some retail stores
there and in adjoining towns. Bear
traders made much also of assertions
that Canadian coarse grains were sub
jected to competition from cheap
Argentine corn and oats and cheap
