has been the dullest month in years.
1t Is encouraging, however, that with
this sluggishness there has not been
relapse worth mentioning In stocks
or in the general run of commodities.
Wholesale prices today are exactly as
they were a month ago. Fifty repre-
sentative stocks stand just where they
did on July 81. And this in the face of
events that in an unliquidated situation
might easily have occasioned panic In
both securities and in staple prices.
Ordinarily we might expect q pick
ing-up Of trade in the month ahead.
September is the beginning of the bust
ness year with many concerns. 1t is
the start of the peak" period for the
railroads and a time of increased ac-
tivity by majority Of merchandisers.
It does not promise much change from
the conditions in August, though such
change as occurs will be on the up
side. The revival in industry will
come Slowly and as the result primarily
of replacement of goods that have been
drawn down to minimum size by a
people that has not known from day
to day what to expect and has been
cautious in its expenditures.
Unfortunately there are no large pri-
vate undertakings, such as building con-
struction automobile manufacture. rail-
road extensions. shipping and agricul-
tural implement making in which de-
mand for expansion exists. Therefore.
domestic trade will have to find its
outlet in catering at reasonsbl prices
to the primary needs of 10000, 90
Americans Eventually credit stability
abroad and tariff reform at home will
cnce more open foreign markets and
absorb the surplus of our factories. The
most satisfying fact Is that liquidation.
in the past causing most alarm, appears
to be completed and that each credit
cri-'s abroad has created a political
unity whose absence has been respon-
sible for many recent troubles.

Copper and Motion Picture
Shares Furnish Bulk of

BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,


NEW YORK, August 29.-Firmness of
the stock market today reflected the
Quieting OF nervousness over interna-
tional finance with the formal an
nouncement of the huge loan to Eng
land. and the conviction in speculative
quarters that September will bring some
improvement In general business activ-
ity, even though it may be slight.
Coppers and motion picture shares
were traded in fair volume at somewhat
hirhsr levels in an otherwise extremely
ouist week end session. Sponsors OF tins
motion picture stocks state that the
companies have effected sweeping econ
omies, and that Autumn usually brings
an increase IN theater attendance.
Copper shares were bought in response
to slight firming Of copper metal
prices.

ported that the company expects to get
its bank loans paid of by the end ri

The announcement Of the $500. 900 900

greeted with only mild enthusiasm In
London. where the prospect that ma

realtors shirt that he might miss in a
rush to catch a train.
No reason was given for including
the 81 Test shirt" item and the best
local explanation is that the national
realtor publicity man merely wanted to
inject laugh into a dry talk about
financing the convention trip.

REALTY MEN PLAN
TO IMPROVE SIGNS
Cooperation of Brokers and
Owners Asked by Bicen-
tenniaI Committee.

Cooperation Of real estate brokers
and property owners generally will be
sought by the Realtors Bicentennial
Committee in movement to improve
the appearance of signs set up on real
estate throughout the District, 1t was
announced today by the Washington
Real Estate Board.
Decision to conduct campaign to
improve the condition and appearance
Of signs was reached by the commit
tee after 1t had made a survey of the
city at the suggestion Of the realtor
board.
The committee, headed by W. C..
Miller, past president of the board,
hopes by this means to bring about i'm
provement of the appearance of the
city, in preparation for the George
Washington Bicentennial observance
here next year.
Agents Cooperation Asked.
AS its first step, the Real Estate
Board has issued an appeal to real
estate agents, asking cooperation. Ar
thur Carr, realtor president, included
in the statement offered the co-opera-
ton of the board in handling COM
plants regarding specific signs
The statement sent to realty brokers
throughout the city contains the fol-
lowing suggestions:
Signs with stakes driven in the
ground should be firmly supported so
that they will remain in a perpendic-
ular position. Such signs should never
be allowed to rest against nor be at
tached to any building.
Painted signs once used should not
be removed to another location with
out at least being cleaned or re-
painted
Neat Placing of Signs.
"AIl signs attached to buildings
should be neatly placed, preferably on
a smooth surface, securely fastened at
all corners and displayed at a height
of approximately six feet from the
ground.
mo signs should ever be nailed or
attached to trees.
"All signs should be periodically in
spected and If found unsightly they
should be replaced or removed.
Attention is called to the sign law
Of March, 1918, which specifically pro-
hibits any real estate broker from
placing any For Sale or For Rent
sign on any property without the writ
ten consent of the property owner.
This same law prohibits any real es-
tate agent from displaying more than
one sign on an individual property
and limits to three the number of
brokers who may be permitted to dis
play signs on any one property"
