Dear Mr.. F'ixit-We have a paved
alley, yet we can hardly get in or
out on account OF mud. The alley
in the rear of 1888 East Michigan
street is so bad you can hardly get
in or out. There is a manhole or
catch basin, but it it is too high and
covered with mud which backs water
up the paved alley. H. M. B.

Wilbur Winship, city street COM
missioner, has issued orders for
inspection of the alley and. for
taking all steps possible to rene
dy it.

BOND PRICES GAIN
ON LIGHT TURNOVER

FhoocNAeNANNA
NEW YORK, october The bond
market advanced irregularly today in
quiet trading.
Strength was more marked among
the public utility and railroad issues
than in the industrial and foreign
loans. Moderate reaction appeared in
such issues as Colombian IS of October,
1851 German Is of 1949, German Cen
trail Agricultural Bank 6s of October,
1860, and Italian rs of 1851. However,
such foreign bonds as Argentine IS
of May, 1861; Belgian rs, German 512s
and Norwegian IS of 1914 made good
gains.
New York. Chicago g. st. Louis 4l2s
of 1878. New York Central SIS of 2Ol3,
Great Northern series E Alps and Della
ware & Hudson As gained about l point
each. Smaller gains were fairly COM
mon among other rails. Canadian
Pacific debenture As and Chicago &
Northwestern 434s of 1949 receded on
active sales.
Activity in the public utilities was
concentrated among few issues, in
GLIDING American Telephone e. Tele-
graph IS of 1860 and of 1865. but the
great majority OF the DOndS SOLD gained
ground. International Telephone de-
benture IS jumped about points and
Duquesne Light 4 IS and Utilities Power
& Light debenture 5 IS gained about
half as much on few sales.
Among the induStrials Goodyear SIS
and Western Electric IS advanced about
l point each on moderate activity.
Most other bonds of this group held
steady or made small gains on a few
sales.

Commodity Price
Trends of Week
BY II. \. MCGILL.
Editor McGIn Commodity Service.


AUBURNDALE, Mass, october
(P)-Commodity prices continued their
uninterrupted downward trend this
week in sympathy with the security
markets. Norway Sweden and Den
.,,nrk abandoned the gold standard dur
Ing the past week and confidence in
this country is still lacking. Effort is
bang made to bring about better con-
dhlonS IN certain commodities. For
instance, during this month important
interests in the copper industry from
Great Britain, Canada Belgium and
RhodeSia will meet to determine meth
eds for reduction of output. Various
States growing cotton all manifest in
tarest in passing laws to roeduce plant
ings next year. but what seems to be
needed is a general accord between all
the States on some set plan in order to
get the best results. Drastic reduction
of acreage by one State with slight or
no curtailment by another would not
work for the common good.
All Commodities.
A fractional decline was recorded by
all commodities, caused by weakness in
industrial, agricultural and live stock
groups Out of ID individual groups,
only one increased. II declined and one
remained the same.
Industrial.
Industrial prices were fractionally
lower due to decreases in all groups eX-
Cept building materials. The average
of lumber prices was slightly higher.
Agricultural.
Agricultural prices still continue their
downward trend, making new low.
No item in this group showed any par
ticular strength
Textiles, Fine,
One of the groups showing more than
fractional decline was fine textiles, with
Gotten making a new low and wool and
wool yarns showing weakness.
Vegetable Oils.
Vegetable oils again showed drastic
decline and the index is now approx
imately 80 per cent below the point
reached in July, when most groups were
stabilized.

PLEA MADE FOR FACTS
ON STOCK SHORT SALES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, October 3.-Now that
Congress is about to decide whether q
ban on short selling Is what this coun-
try needs the Alexander Hamilton In
stitute decides that what Congress needs
is the easily ascertainable date on the
relation of volume of short sailing to
huctuation in market price.
II 1t can be demonstrated as a matter
OF fact that short selling increases in
volume as prices mount and falls away
IN volume as prices recede. the case in
favor Of the stabilizing effect of short
sales appears prima-facie established.
II, on the other hand, it is a fact that
snort selling dries up as prices mount
ana grows in volume as prices decline,
the standard argument IN favor # the
practice melts away. 1t is then not
Staolllzer but demoralizing factor, says
the Institutes current bulletin.
