NEW YORK, June 2O.-Summsr ssts
in without any sign that business Is go
ing to break through the bottom on
which Is has been stabilizing itself for
six months, says The Business Week in
its report covering the week ending
June 20.
The seasonal letdown in the general
level of activity seems, on the whole.
to be little II any, more than usual so
far, and in some respects slow improve
ment since the beginning of the year
has become evident. This is most
marked in trade lines closest to the con-
sumer, when low prices and accumu-
lated attrition on the second pair of
pants appear to have stimulated re-
placement of current requirements.
Merchandise carloadings, for instance,
have shown q slow rise since last De-
cember, after due allowance for sea-
sonal factors; and retail trade reports
are reasSuring as to volume, IL not
profits. Check payments outside New
York also show a rising trend since
March; and though currency in circu-
lation has been affected by confidence
in banking conditions, the relatively
high level is probably not without some
trade significance.
Commodity prices have rallied slightly
dASI recent SHARP oeC11nee, ana pOno
markets have made little better show
ing. The basic production and con-
struction industries alone offer little
encouragement for an early recovery.
Here the effect of continued lack of
confidence, still emphasized by unceF-
tainty about conditions abroad, is most
marked. Decisive action on the inevi-
table debt moratorium would diSpel
some of this paralyzing doubt. The
index settled at 779 per cent for the
week ended June 13. This compares
with 7S.1 in the preceding week and
sos In the corresponding week last year.

WORLD ECONOMIC

Informal Meetings of States.

Special Gable to The Star.
LONDON, June 20.-In political as
well as financial quarters here the
feeling is growing that an international
economic conference, in which the
United States would participate. II only
as an observes, may crystalline as q re-
suit of this Summers informal meet
ings Of statesmen of the principal Eu-
ropean countries and through their
contacts with Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon and Secretary Of State Stimson
Of the United States.
It Is asserted in some quarters that
such q conference, held before next
years disarmament parley, might go a
long way toward recreating a spirit of
confidence in Germany and Central
Europe.
There are bankers IN London-and
Montagu Norman, governor OF the
Bank Of England, Is said to hold such
ment of more American, British and
French capital in Germany and Aus
tria would have q tonic effect on both
countries. It is believed that this was
the subject discussed with Secretary
Mellon in the last two days.
Those who favor an international eco
nomic parley contend that 1t would
likewise stimulate the nationals Of
America, Great Britain and France to
put more capital into Germany and
Central Europe, and that If that were
done Germany would not have good
case for q moratorium or . cut In
reparations payments.
From official sources this correspond
ent learned today that Secretary Mel
Ions visit here had nothing to do
with q definite date being set for the
visit of Premier Macdonald and For
eign Minister Henderson to Berlin, now
scheduled for July II. Nor has 1t been
Influenced by any possible early move by
Germany for a moratorium, which, how
ever, she Is unlikely to make before
the British statesmen 60 to Berlin. Mr..
Henderson will visit the French colonial
Exposition following his trip to Berlin
and he is expected to see Foreign Min
lister BRAND at that time.

Premier Macdonald and Mr.. Henderson
are in Berlin. It will be the first occa-
sion when the young couple will on

Buying for Profit
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

1t is a sound investment principle to
exercise constant supervision over ones
securities. Conditions both financial
and industrial continually change and
the price of success Is vigilance. New
ertheless, the matter may be overdone.
People who hold stocks, for instance,
are accustomed to take their evening
paper, scan the stock table and calcu-
late their paper gains or losses.
There Is such a thing as paying too
much attention to market quotations,
which are measures OF value only over
long period. In times of rising prices
and active speculation the market over
estimates the value; conversely, In times
OF falling prices and great business de-
preston 1t nder-eStimateS the value.
Speculative movements always 60 to ex-
tremes. The danger, then, Is that the
investor seeing depreciation in the mar
ket price Of his security will finally be-
come panicky and, without exercising
the calm Judgment the occasion re-
quires, hurry down to the bank, take
his certificates out of the box and for
ward them to his broker for sale.
The present financial situation Is very
trying on the nerves, but 1t Is absurd to
say that 1t Is unprecedented. Unfa-
vorable as the outlook may be it has
been much more so in other depressions
and there has always been recovery.
Each period OF Subnormal business pre-
sents characteristics Of its own and
this one is unique, If ar all, only in its
worldwide extent and the spread be-
tween high rate of activity two years
ago and the relative stagnation Of to-
Gay. 1t may be that there are many
stocks over-valued by the market even
at present quotations. Each case must
be decided on Its merits. But there are
certainly many other stocks that are
.underpriced. This Is not to advocate mis-
cellaneous investments in common
stocks simply because the market is at q
low level. 1t is to advise emphatically
against sacrifice of holdings with no
other reason therefor than the story
told by the tape.

BONDS ARE HIGHER
+. IN HEAVY TRADING
German List Especially Bene-
fitted by Hoover Plan
to Aid Reich.
BYE. n. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 20.-The entire
bond list was benefited today by Presi-
dent Hoover's intimatioA that the
United States Government was coDsid-
ering plans TO aid Germany in her
present crisis. In the case Of the
South American and Australian groups.
Of dollar bonds there were no advances
Of importance, but German bonds ran
up to points on . volume OF buy
ing that has not been equaled since
early in the year. Domestic bonds, par
ticularly the junior railroad mortgages,
were sharply higher.
The Street takes the view that the
psychological effect Of Mr.. Ho0ver's an
nouncement alone will be sunlcient to
remove many Of the Oppressive factors
from the market.
Trading started in quietly, with the
usual thinned out Saturday attendance
of traders. But the news was quickly
flashed Ground, wire orders started to
come in in volume, and before the end
1t was evident that bond trading for
the two hours would more than double
trading for the same period Of Fridays
session.
Young plan 5hs were slow to open,
as the specialist In them had difficulty
In arranging his market. The initial
transactions for $50 bonds at 69h, up
2A points, did not take place until
nearly 1880. Later the gain was ex-
tended Dawes reparations rs also
moved up, but 1t was In the German
municipals and industrials, such as Ber-
lin 6s. Prussia 65as, Berlin Elevated
61as of 1859, United Steel Works A 61as
of 1851 and German Central Bank SIS
Of 1860, that the larger gains Of 4 to S
points were made.
A group of representative German
bonds stood at an average price of rs
at the close, compared with their aver
age Of 60.9 exactly q week ago
The improvement in the rest of the
foreign list was narrower. but no less
unanimous. Braxilians, especially the
Sac Paulo coffee loan, were sharply
higher with the improvement In milFeis

nearly 500 miles north of the United

covered the unmistakable footprints Of
several dinosaurs. There are several
hundred foot Impressions, ranging from
Is inches in width down to 6 inches.
The river at this point has carved out
q deep canyon, revealing the footprints
and also some fossilized ferns, palms
and other tropical plants, which seem
to indicate that the land there was once
tropical. The footprints are said 70 Be
