CONVENTION PLANS
ARE BEING CHANGED
Efforts Made by Various Industries
to Enhance Benefits
of Gatherings.
Nv the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Reports of scheduled trade associa-
ton meetings indicate some efforts are
being maze to change the character Of
conventions.
The annual meeting Of the Associated
Grocery Manufacturers of America, Inc,
to be held this month, will, for ex-
ample. depart from the customary pro-
cedure. All sessions will be for mem
bers only, and the attendance limited
to executives. There will be no outside
speaker, no banquet, and, in fact, none
of the regular convention policies. All
the meetings are planned as executive
salient problems that face the trade
will be met through the means Of
round-table discussions.
The National Coffee Roasters' Asso-
cations recent convention was thrown
open to every one interested in the
American coffee trade, and was not
limited to members of the association
eral discussions were emphasized more
than usual.
Plans for the joint convention of the
roofing and sheet metal trade, which
combines the annual conference of three
associations. lean toward a business
conference, with no time-consunaing
by-play-a clinic where experts in their
respective lines will assist the members
of these associations in establishing
better merchandising principles. A
sales clinic is to be conducted by a
nationally known merchandising and
advertising counselor, where all the
merchandising problems of this group
will be brought up for discussion.
These and others indicate that asso-
Citations are bending every effort to
make conventions of greater practical
value to those attending.

and business in general have emanatel
from that part of New York's financia
district which seldom gets in the head
lines-the Hide Exchange.
Armand Schmoll, -jr., vice president
Of the exchange and president 81
Schmoll Fills Associated, Inc. declared
after reviewing visible stocks through
out the world and the recent activity
on the Hide Exchange that the marke4
in his opinion, had seen its lowest quo

culture and industry were slowly but
surely coming back to normal

worth while for him to take them u
market. Hide quotations and trading
are now advancing in such way as u
indicate that business is returning TO

Hides are the only commodity" said
SchmoL, that in spite of lower con-
sumption has been able to show a re-

United States the visible supply was
100000 on September l, 1890, and
100000 on September /, 1881. The
visible supply in 1921 in America wa$
100000 pieces, or hides. :

ut can be easily seen that hide
stocks are not on hand. The small
farmer, who normally produces a large
proportion of the hides used in thiS
country has been out of the marker

HEAVY LIQUIDATION
SENDS BONDS DOWN
Railroad Issues Depressed,
With Large Offerings Melt
ing Away Prices.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. August 13.-Deprss sed
by heavy liquidation of railroad bonds.
the investment market today was unable
to sustain its steadinsss OF Wednesday.
Industrials and the better grade utili-
ties showed an inclination to move
ahead, but were held back by offerings
of carrier bonds that virtually melted
prices away. At the same time the
Latin American section of the foreign
list gave way on reports of a more
acute situation in Cuba and the proba :
bility that Chile will make its partial
moratorium complete. The only strong
spot was in German and other Euro
pean bonds.
The s-lling of the rails increased when
it was revealed that group OF the
prime rails including such conservative
mortgages as AtchiSon general As, Chi
cago: Burlington d Quincy general As,
Northern Pacific As and Northern Pa
cific 312s had dropped to a n.w low
level for the year. Some of the sales
were in blocks indicative of institutional
liquidation. Second and third grade
issues sold of sharply.
Nickel Plate IS, which fall due next
year, opened off over l12 points and
then on successive sales of only SII 900
dropped to new low. down more than
8 points on the day. Nickel Plate 4las
sold around 81, of about a point. De-
clineS Oh point or more appeared in
Rock Island 4les. Buffalo. Rochester. e.
Pittsburgh 412s and Southern Pacific
IS of 1859
The more speculative group of rails
broke to new levels This group in
cludes such bonds as Erie SIS, st. Paul
adjustments, Chicago a. Northwestern
y S, Missouri-Pacific SIS and obligations
of the st. Louis-San Francisco.
Oh company issues we're firm with
their companion stocks. Texas Corpo-
ration. Shell Union Oil SIS. Sinclair 615s
and Is and Phillips Petroleum sis
were most active. Firmness Character
lied most induStrials American Tele-
phone IS and SIPS, Utah Power e.
Light SIS and other prime utility issues
were firm.
The selling in the Latin American
group brought declines Of / to points
in Chilean government and mortgage
bank bonds. in Columbian issues and in
the bonds Of the Province of Antiouuia.
Brazilian and Uruguayan bonds were
heavy. Argentine issues were firm.
Cuba 5 l2s dropped 2 points or more.
German Government 5l2s were strong.
So were Dawes Preparations Is and the
entire group of German industrial,
utility and municipal obligations. Hun
garian bonds improved with the ap-
prevail of the Swiss and Italian credit
to that country Austrian and other
Central European descriptions were
