NEW YORK, July e.-With trad
ers waiting definite results from the
Franco-hmerican war debt negotia-
lions at Paris, stocks prices moved
in an uncertain manner through the
early trading today.
The list opened substantially low
er. Selling soon dried up, however,
and the market moved within a mar
row range around the opening
levels through the morning trading.
Dealings we're restricted and ex-
IRENE dizziness prevailed.
Move Up at Noon
Toward noon, prices moved up
fractionally from their early lows,
but the trading was too quiet to in
dictate any change in the mixed
trading. Most Of the business orig
mated on the floor Of the exchange
itself and the public continued on
the side lines.
With most of the leaders moving
narrowly, most of the interest CEN
tered on the movements in q few
individual issues.
Some apprehension was aroused
by further weakness in National
Biscuit which fell more than 2
points to a new low for the present
shares at 58A. This issue which
long has been considered one of the
Leading blue chip stocks on the Ex-
change suffered from liquidation in
duced by fears that second quarter
profits failed to cover common divi-
dend requirements of $1.40 a share.
Case Is Weak Spot
Another weak spot was j. I. Case.
which fell several points on sus-
pension of pool activity. Chrysler.
on the other hand, moved fraction
ally higher after an initial 1-point
decline on continued strong pool
sponsorship arising out of the com
pany's announcement Of its new
Plymouth model this morning. Other
motors were steady, with Auburn re-
covering nearly all of it's early g.
point decline before the end of the
second hour of trading.
Leaders like Steel, Westinghouse
Electric, American Can and General
Electric held losses of fraction to
several points, while interest in
various groups like coppers, utilities
and oils dWindled.

TRADE RALLY IN
U. S., WORLD is
SHOWN IN JUNE
Uptrend in Major Fields
Reflects Optimism of
Business.
BY RAY TUCKER

WASHlNGION, July GA slight
Improvement in business conditions
in the United States and through
out the world is registered in trade
summary figures made public today
by the department of commerce.
The upward climb began in the
middle of June, almost sinful
taneously with President Herbert
Hoover's proposal for a war debt
holiday, and it has continued in
many major fields. Reports to the
department from its foreign rep
resentatives mention the proposed
moratorium as an optimistic factor,
and the rally of stocks in Wall
Street has also been attributed to
this development.
Stocks Record Set
The average price of representa-
tive stocks reached the highest level
in the week ending June 81 since
the second week in May, business
failures were fewer than at any time
since last November, wholesale
prices continued their upward trend
prices of agricultural products in
creased for the second consecutive
week, bond prices increased for the
third consecutive week and cotton
continued to command a better
price. Non-agricultural products,
however, remained at the same
level of the preceding week.
But some favorable indications
were found in scattered industries
and various sections of the coun-
try. The net operating income for
May of the first sixty-six railroads
to report shows a net increase in
revenue of Z per cent over May.
Tourists Flock to West
Early reports from the west indi-
cate that the number of tourists
may be the largest since early
1929. Leaf tobacco exports in May
totaled 48,912,O0O pounds, as against
28,823,000 in May, 1890.
Industrial activity in New Eng
land, which has been especially hard
hit by the depression, has increased
steadily during the first five months
of this year and is now only Is
per cent below normal, while the
country is 25 per cent lower. Bust
ness activity in the San Francisco
district was TT per cent above the
average for the same period from
1921 to 1880.
Improved conditions and larger
exports were reported from Argen-
tina, Brazil, China. Costa Rica, Ha-
wall, Jamaica, Japan. All reports
from abroad, however, made clear
that the recovery is slight and
spotty, but it has aroused hopes that
the general world condition may be
on the verge of steady improvement.

SALES ORDERS
FORCE FUTURE
PRICES LOWER
July Wheat Sets New Lows
as Favorable Weather
Hits Belt.
BY HAROLD E. RAINvHLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 6. - Scattered
selling on an accumulation of over
tne-week-end selling orders dropped
wheat prices a fraction as the
Board of Trade opened today. Liv-
erpool was weak, but quiet, with
demand insufficient to sustain the
market. Rains in most sections Of
the northwest and west during the
holiday had little effect.
Corn dropped sharply, losing a
major fraction as sellers found sup
port poor. Oats were easy with
the major gains in a light trade.
Situation Is Puzzle
At the opening wheat was Il to q
cent lower, corn was Il to q cent
off and oats were unchanged to q
cent down. Provisions were slow
and steady.
Liverpool was about as expected,
Il cent to p cent lower by mid
afternoon. Between political lead
crS of the southwest trying to help
the farmers get more money for
their wheat and the farm board,
conditions are somewhat of puz-
zle. New efforts are being made to
force the government agency to
outline more favorable program
for the proposal Of it's 100000, 900
bushels of wheat.
Rumors that large sales are be-
ing made to foreign interests are
not given much credence by the
trade.
Conditions Favor BuIges
While pit conditions favor bulges,
hedging from the southwest Is in
creasingly heavy. The fact that the
market is holding so well is some
thing Of a surprise.
Private crop estimates suggest a
corn yield Of around 100000, 900
bushels and in only five years has
there been a crop so large. The hot
weather forced growth, but also
took much of the surplus moisture
out of the ground and good rains
are necessary. The weather was
clear and cool, with scattered rains
over the holiday.
The high temperatures have dam
aged oats, but the belief is that
there will be plenty for all require
me1ts.

HEALTH AND
DIET
BY Logan Clendening-

by Logan CIen0enlnS-
DIATHERMY can be modi-
fled so that two forms are
produced-medical and surgical
diathermy. It's action is due,
as we saw yesterday, to the
production of heat caused by
the passage Of high frequency
electric current between two
electrodes. The electrodes may
be placed at varying distances
apart on the surface of the
body. AS the current passes
from one to the other heat is
produced in the tissues which
the current traverses.
Medical Diathermy
If the temperature produced
is insufficient to damage the
tissues, but simply heats them
up, it is called medical dia-
thermy. If, however, it is high
enough to destroy tissue, it is
called surgical diathermy or
electro-coagulation.
Medical diathermy, the pro-
duction of heat deep in tissues,
has been tried for curative
purposes in a number Of condi-
tions, in two with conspicuous
success. Certain forms of in
fectious arthritis and pelvic in
fections in women yield Won
derful results to this treatment.
There is no form of heat com.
parable to diathermy in joint in
fections which are fairly acute to
fairly chronic in character, pro.
vided there is no encapsulated
puS present in the joint. The
old forms of external heat do not
have the penetrating quality of
diathermy and cannot place"
the heat exactly in the diseased
tissues as it can. Besides, it has
considerable effect in destroying
the germs which cause the arth-
ritis and thus preventing future
flare-upS.
Praise It's Use
Even the most conservative
specialists in diseases of women
are enthusiastic in their praise
of the use of diathermy in the
pelvic infections Of women. Many
such cases cannot be operated
in the acute stage. Diathermy
used at this time relieves pain,
for one thing, and often clears
the Inflammation up so thor
oughly that. as one gynaecologiSt
says, operation is unnecessary.
Diathermy has been tried in
pneumonia and good reports
made about it. It seems to do
no harm. Whether the results
are better than in other methods
of treatment 1 cannot convince
myself. The reports available
are lacking in comparative sta
tisticS.
