CURB STOCKS FIRM
IN LATE DEALINGS
Late Rally Laid to Short
Covering-Utilities
Are Active.
81 JOHN A. CRONE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 12.-The curb
market turned strong in the last half
hour today after a day of dull trading
in which prices for the most part
showed small net losses on the day
The late rally was obviously short
covering by those reluctant to remain
committed to the downturn overnight,
Just as the morning selling was largely
profit taking BY disappointed specula-
tors for the advance.
Issues such as American Gas & Elec-
trio, Electric Bond g. Share, Vacuum
Oil and Cities Service were most active
in the late recovery.
The opening was irregular with
small volume of trading.
The market was affected by num-
Der of poor earnings reports and by the
gloomy outlook in the foreign situation.
Nevertheless there was hardly any or
ganized liquidation and prices drifted
lower as a result of the removal of bids
and on realizing by spectators disap-
pointed at the failure of the market to
resume its recent recovery.
Electric Bond & Share sold off frac-
tionally after making up most of its
opening loss, but it was significant that
the stock met support each time 1t
dipped around "a. or about 3 points
above its previous low of the year.
American Gas & Electric was fairly ac-
tive selling at lower prices. Other
losses occurred in Associated Gas e.
Electric A, American Commonwealth
Power A and B, American Superpower,
Brazilian Traction. Central States Elec-
trio, Commonwealth Edison, Niagara
Hudson Power and Utilities Power &
Light. United Light e. Traction A was
5ractionally higher at midday.

IFID ADVERTISING
I(OL|CY IS URGED
Millions Can Be Saved by
Eliminating Irregular Me-
,diumS, Says Expert.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

CHICAGO, June i2-Ten million
dollars can ne saved by banEs through
out the country, through cooperation in
advertising. which will result in the
elimination of the irregular mediums.
This is one of the facts brought out
in a preliminary report on the stand
ardiZation of advertising media. pre-
pared by Virgil Allen, jr.. assistant vice
president CT the First Bank & Trust
Co, Utica, N. Y, and published in the
current number of the Financial Ad-
yertisers Association Bulletin.
The aim of the survey Is to indicate
the advantages of standardizing on
worthwhile advertising media, such as
newspapers and other established pub
locations.
AS an evidence that his estimate is q
conservative enc, Mr.. Allen points out
that nearly $5,000,000 annually has al
ready been saved in banking connmuni-
ties where cooperation in advertising is
now practiced.
The survey shows that 81 per cent of
the banking communities by written or
verbal agreement, have greatly reduced
or limited advertising IN irregular me-
diums. Into this classification fall I'M
tried publications, such as programs is
sued by churches, schools, lodges, clubs
and contributions represented by the
purchase of tickets to bazaars and bene-
fits and all schemes to raise money fer
| this and that special group or organi-
| cation.
Present indications are that the adj
vertising exhibit of the Financial Adver-
| Users Convention in Boston, September
| IA to II. will be the largest in the his
| tory of the organization. The exhibit
| will be in tune with the theme of the
| convention, The Creative Force in
| Finance"
The exhibit has always been an out
standing feature of the Financial Adj
| vertjsers conventions, as they show con-
cretely what the advertisers have been
| doing during the year. At the 1880 con-
vention in Louisville there were 216
separate exhibits and it is expected that
the Boston convention will attract a
! far greater number. The exhibit COM
nittee is under the direction Ct Cedric
| Morris of the Union Guardian Trust
Co. of Detroit.

ager of the International Business Ma

ing the Importance at this time of con-
veying to the public a realization of

What attracted applications of more

was not the rate certainly. for far high
er returns are available elsewhere. 1t
was confidence in the security"
Speaking TO you toward the end of
this depression we are going through
and in my Judgment we are near the
end-things generally are showing some
improvement
1T would help tremendously if the
financial advertising profession could
devise a plan for presentation to the
financial institutions of the country for
placing before the public the invest
ment opportunities which exist today"
Mr.. Watson declared that never in his
life had there been a greater oppor-
tunity for financial advertising than at
present. Financial advertising he said
is the most important kind of advertis-
ing, because it deals with the most i'm
portant commodity.
Financial advertising, in Mr.. Watson's
opinion, should lay considerable en-
phasis on education, extending not
merely to savings and investment, but
embracing spending as we'll This edu-
catlcnal work would be continuous for
each year new group of young men
and women requiring financial educa-
ton come up into the business world.

NEW YORK, June 12.-The following

ciated Press:
News Trend.
Copper statistics for May, released to-
day. confir II unfavorable advance esti-
mates in showing an increase in stocks
on hand May 81 over April 80. Inc
months increase of 30,746 short tons
brings the total to 398,667 tons, which
compares with 367,921 tons on April 80
and 354,205 on March 81. Similarly
an unfavorable picture is presented by
the May production figures, which show
an increase in output to 102,695 tons
from 100,501 in April and 102,058 in
March, and by May shipments, which
fell to II GAG tons from 86,785 tons in
April and Ill ,482 tons in March.
Preparation of a petition by the rail-
roads for higher freight rates reached
its final stages yesterday when it was
unanimously decided at meeting OF
executives of Eastern, Western and
Southern roads to apply to the I. C. c.
and to the State Commissions for Is
per cent horizontal increase. 1t is
understood that the request for a
general Is per cent rise, instead of de-
will be made to expedite consideration
of the request Nevertheless some COM
modities which would be diverted to
truck transportation by such an in
crease are to be given individual atten-
ton. The net result as contemplated
would be an average increase of around
10 per cent.
Automobile sales by General Motors
dealers to domestic consumers in May
fell to 122,717 units from 1868 units
in April, decline somewhat greater
than the normal seasonal drop at this
time of year. At the same time it is
of interest to observe that sales by the
corporation to domestic dealers in May
amounted to 136,778 units, exceeding
sales by dealers, given above, by 14,061
units, while sales by the corporation to
dealers in April totaled 1872, 629 units,
