Daily Report Of
Stock Markets

NEW YORK, Sept. %. up
Trading quieted down on the New
York stock exchange today after
yesterdays 100000 share session,
and prices moved irregularly after
lower opening.
At one time the entire list was
higher, sagged and then was re-
turning toward the highs as the
close neared.
The financial community was
deeply impressed with the behavior
of the list in the fact of temporary
gold standard suspension by Great
Britain.
Its confidence drove shorts to
cover in many groups. Anticipation
Of early granting of a freight rate
increase by the interstate commerce
/ commission brought short covering
and new buying in the railroad
group and that division led the
market at the late trading. Coppers
came back smartly and oils were
steady to firm. Utilities held well
as did leading industrials.
A better tone was noted in foreign
markets. Sharp rallies took place
on the Paris bourse, where yester-
days losses were made up. The
market at Rome also staged a good
comeback.
Domestic news was given a wider
play in the New York market. The
rails were bid up in anticipation of
freight rate increase. U. S. Steel
was up on the belief that steel cor
porations would rise this week.
Weak spots included Republican
steel. General motors was down
fractionally on rumors the company
was to cut salaries shortly.
LOS ANGELES, Sept %. U.P -

SILVER RAPIDLY BECOMING
LIVELY POLITICAL ISSUE

ism which Bryan preached so elo-
quently in his free silver" cam
paigns over 80 years ago receives no
encouragement from government
economists. They deny it would
hasten the return Of prosperity.
For Own Interests
Silver, these government econom-
lists say, has no connection with the
present situation in Great Britain.
They pointed today to Pr3mier Mac
Donald's statement in the house of
commons that it was impracticable
to establish a silver basis for cur
rency for the purpose of improving
trade in eastern markets. They re-
gard the present agitation as large
ly an attempt by silver interests TO
capitalize the British situation Tor
I their own purposes.
This, however, will not deter
! those who for months have been
seeking some way to increase
the price of the metal.
Senator Key Pittman, Demo-
era of Nevada. chairman of
special committee which inVes-
tigated the fail in price Of silver,
predicted England would soon
drop her opposition to an inter-
national conference TO stabilize
/ the metal.
Forecasts are made freely that
! other countries will follow Great
Britain in discarding the gold
standard.
Senator Smith w. Brookhart, Re-
| publican of Iowa, hailed the British
action as "the beginning of the enc
of the gold standard in the world.
He suggested that the value of the
dollar be fixed at a fraction of the
national wealth, and made redeem
able in any commodity at its marke'
value.
Joint Standard
Senator Burton K. Wheeler, from
the silver producing state of Mon
tana, said he believed the United
States and the whole world would
stabilize silver. using it as a cur
rency medium as we'll as gold.
Universal adoption Of a joint golc
and silver standard by internationa
agreement is the only way such ;
change could be accomplished with
out disturbing world economic con
ditions, according to governmen
economists, and they see no indi
cation Of such action.
Restoration of silver as basis o
currency in some countries, the,
say. would only introduce anothe
unsettling factor into an alread
confused situation. They conten'
it would lead TO depreciation Of cur
rency in countries which adopte
the silver standard, with consequen
initiation.
China was until recently the onl
country in the world on a silve
standard. She was joined recent
" Mexico.

PRESIDENTS LEGION SPEECH
INDICATES HIS ATTITUDE

the war veterans Tor a virtual mora
torium on their demands until after
! the depression, his assertion that
the government treasury can bear
no additional drain without grave
risks and his declaration that an
attempt to bring heavy taxes out OF
the rich would soon strike the point
OF diminishing returns and throw
the burden on those who work in
the fields, and at bench and desk,
presented a council of caution for
the whole country.
Did Not Threaten
While the word veto" did not
appear, his associates saw in his
address a forecast that the presi-
dental pen would be pointed
against expensive relief legislation
next winter. The Quaker Presi-
dents message to the Legion bris-
tied with the terms war" and
fight"
AS the presidential party left De-
troit, members were told that ad-
ministration friends III the legion
were confident the convention would
refrain from demanding full pay
ment of bonus certificates. The
matter, it was forecast in informa-
ton given the presidential party,
would be left to the executive COM
mittee for decision next winter in
the light of conditions at that
time
One report was that the White
House was advised of this hope
full outlook before Mr.. Hoover
left Washington. Legion lead
ers said they believed Mr.. Hoo
yer had been tactful in his ap-
peal. Had he been more abrupt
and threatened 10 veto bonus
legislation, they said, ii might
have melted the service men to
60 on record.
Upon his return here today, Mr.
Hoover had many phases OF the
British suspension OF the gold STAN
dard and its effect upon the United
States to consider with his advisors
One of the chief considerations is
understood to be the psychological
reaction upon the American public
which, according to administration
officials, already has permitted "ex-
aggerated fears" to gain ground.
Mr.. Hoover is caught in the diff
cult tight rope assignment Of at
tempting to impress upon the coun-
try the seriousness of the situation
in order to check raids on the trea-
Sury while at the same time coun-
selling optimism and confidence to
prevent boarding and the adverse
business effects Of excessive timid-
ity.

WASHINGTON, Sept. %. UP
Silver is becoming almost as lively
an issue as it was in the crusading
days of William Jennings Bryan.
Suspension of the gold standard
by Great Britain has aroused new
hopes in those who advocate a re-
turn to silver as a basis Of curren-
cy and by those who would profit
by the enhanced prestige and price
that silver thereby would enjoy. The
latter group includes mining in
terests in the west.
