driving the municipal debt $304 1000
900 upward.
That is what the Census Bureau re-
ported in making public today 1929
financial statistics for $50 cities hav-
ing a population of over 10000. The
total net municipal debt was $780,
289.500, a 5 per cent increase over
1928, and over one-third the public
debt of the Federal Government.
Exceed State Payments.
Municipal payments on costs of gov
eminent. the bureau said, were two
thirds greater than similar payments
on the government of the 48 States
and 90 per cent less than those for
the Federal Government for the fiscal
year 1929"
Taking 146 cities covered by census
reports since 1908, the bureau gave the
net per capita cost of governmental
payments. including operation mainte-
nance and debt interest, as 1884 in
1929. S24.58 in 1917 and S16.4l in 1908.
Net revenue receipts for the same
cities jumped from $21 IA per capita in
1903 to $31.97 in 1917 and $69.63 in
1929. The Indebtedness ratio in these
cities grew from $44.7l in 1903 to $80.75
in 1917 and $l44.33 in 1929.
Operation Largest Item.
OF the total 1929 governmental outlay,
66.4 per cent was for operation and
maintenance of general departments,
40 per cent for public service enter
prises. 10.6 per cent for interest on debt
and 28.2 per cent for permanent i'm
provements.
Education took 80 per cent of the
general operating expenditure, police
and fire protection 10 per cent and
highways nearly 9 per cent.
General property taxes provided the
cities with $1.925, 773,600 of revenue;

Business Notes

BY the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, July 9.-Retail sales
thus far this month are divided into
two sharply contrasting periods, execu-
tives in New York commented. Turn
over for the three days prior to July 4
was notably good, running ahead Of the
same period last year. Thus far this
week, however, poor weather conditions
have affected the volume of trade, al
though no marked decline from a
year ago has developed. From this
month on. 10 was pointed out, dollar
volume comparison with year ago Will
become more favorable in retail price
declines steadily gained momentum in
the latter half of last year.
Fall stocks of imported oriental rugs
arrived in the New York market this
week and will be displayed to buyers at
the domestic floor coverings opening
August 3. The merchandise being put
into stock at this time, importers said
is intended for sale in the medium and
available in cheaper goods and the in
tense competition offered by domestic
orientals have resulted in the curtail-
ment of stocks Of cheap foreign
products.
Development of uniform markings
for valves and valve fittings Will De
sought by a, committee appointed by
the National Association of Purchasing
Agents. Difficulties and sometime seri-
Gus accidents, 1t is claimed, result from
the lack of uniform markings, or en-.
tire absence of markings, on valves ana
fittings. In the oil fields, particularly.
1t was said, the lack of uniformity In
markings is a serious problem.
Fourteen colors for Fall and Winter
have been adopted by the Color Con-
ference Committee of the Eastern Mil
linery Association lin cooperation WIN
the Textile Color Car Association.
Browns are well to the fore.

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, July 9.-Many broker
age houses today expressed the opinion
that the immediate stock market trend
would be lower, although severe break
was not anticipated. Comments follow:
Jackson Bros Boesel & Co.--"While
the effects Of the moratorium are still
more or less uncertain and while the
stock market Is still facing succession
Of poor second quarter reports, we do
not look for anything in the near. future
approaching the sharp advance which
took place in June. It is more logical
to expect q quoting down, of trading
activities at levels which should be
attractive for long-term accumulation.
Hornbiower & weeks-There are as
yet no indications that the current re-
action has run its full course. Al
though the market yesterday save q
better account Of itself than the day
previous in so far as there was better
support indicated, nevertheless, when
pressure subsidized the market showed
little rallying power, and until it does,
traders can be expected to follow the
line of least resistance, which for the
time being Is down.
Lamborn, Hutchings g. Goa tech
nical rally IS looked for Thursday or
Friday. Whether or not 1t will be
depends entirely on the news accom-
panying It. If 1t is simply due to q
from the heavy sales Of Tuesday and
Wednesday. it will probably not be more
than to 5 points IN the active stocks
and will probably not hold. We would
use strength to tighten trading holdings.
Cassatt & Co. 1t will be unfortunate
If inaccurate and garb,ed rumors re-
garding foreign conditions are to readily
accepted and followed to influence the
stock market unduly.
Smith, Graham & Rockwell-In the
absence of definitely adverse news we
may run into some trading swings
around the current level when stocks
become oversold, which should furnish
trading opportunities on both sides Of
the market.
Redmond & Co.-Recent Develop
Iy that the credit situation in that
country, which inspired President
Hoover's war debt moratorium plan, was
much more serious than most people
imagined. Strenuous efforts are being
made to stabilize conditions by the Ger
man government, and 1t seems incon-
ceivable that they should fail, but
1t Is obvious that consid-
cradle damage was done by the pro-
lcnged Franco-American negotiations,
and we feel that 1t is still too early to
state that the crisis is definitely over.
We continue to urge ex-
IRENE caution in the making of new
commitments at this time as the nerv.
