FUNDAMEN TAILS
SEEN TENDING
To UPTURN
Security and Brokers Loans
Largely Liquidated, With
Commodity Prices Falling
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, Sept. 1.-The first
stage of a bull market does not
differ radically from the last
stage of bear market, according
to usually well-informed students.
It is pointed out that slow
transition marks the turn and
certain fundamental economic re-
suits must be noted before a turn
can come.
Four Fundamentals Attained
Thus far the following funda-
mentals have been witnessed:
Total security loans Of $6,791,-
100000 are now off sos per cent
from the high of $13,720,000,0 900
reached in 1929.
Federal Reserve member bank
security loans, included in the
above figures, are down 26.2 per
cent.
Brokerage loans total only ST.
349, 100000. Only 1898, 100000 is
now represented by "loans for the
account of others" and private
street loans" These two items
together totaled $4,974,000,00O in
1927, and the drastic shrinkage
represents funds which in large
part are available for investment.
Wholesale commodity prices have
declined 33 per cent since Novem.
ber, 1925. In the 1921 depression
they fell IS per cent from q very
much higher level.
The conclusion is drawn that
the process of deflation has pro-
ceeded so far that a reverse turn
is now in sight.
Tobacco Issues Favored
While numerous unfavorable
rllmors have recently depressed
quotations of leading topacco is
sues, Standard Statistics is of
the opinion that the current
period of weakness provides
favorable opportunity for new
purchases into this group.
Despite the decline of 81 per
cent in output for July, aggregate
cigarette sales for the first seven
months of the year were cnly 1.6
per cent below those for the like
months of 1880. In addition, the
maintenance of higher price levels
previously established, should re-
suit in sizeable earnings expan-
sion for the leading companies.
American Tobacco "B," Rey.
nolds "B,' and Liggett & Myers
b" are regarded as the top
! notch favorites in this group.

". Y. Construction
AUUrdS Decrease

During the period, August l
20 o., construction contracts
awarded in the metropolitan New
York area amounted to $27, 7,154,-
900, according to F. w. Dodge
Corporation figures. This area
reported $14,589, 300 in residential
contracts; $7,334,20O in non-res-
adential contracts, and $5,230,0O0
in public works and utilities.
This $27,154,000 total for the
10 business days ending August
40 compares with a. $56,056, 500
prorated total for the similar
period of August 1880.

Expanding Market
For Ice Predicted

CLEVELAND, Sept. 1.-Greatly
increased demand for ice is seen
by the City Ice and Fuel Com
pany as a result of rapid strides
made in the developing and per-
fecting Of air cooling and condi-
tioning systems. In Cleveland,
Chicago and Pittsburgh, the COM
pany is already doing substan-
tial business in supplying ice for
comfort cooling of railroad cars,
and this coupled with require
ments of ice for theaters, stores,
churches and offices which have
adopted comfort cooling. promises
not only an expanding market
but a profitable one.

CRITICS MARVEL AT
 AROMA AND FLAVOR. OF FAMOUS COFFEE
Patented Roasting Process is the Reason for Distinctive
 Goodness

Of all coffees being sold today, there is one that is winning count less new friends wherever it is introduced because of it's distiIic- tive, rich flavor. As matter of fact, more of this coffee is sold west of the Mississippi than any other brand of fine coffee.
 Hills Bros. Coffee owes its match less flavor to the patented process by which it is roasted. Instead of the rare blend being roasted ir bulk, only few pounds at a time pass continuously through roasters in which the heat and speed of op- eration are accurately controlled.
 This process Controlled Roast improves its superiority over any other method, because it roasts every berry evenly. None are over done and none are underdone. Nat urally a flavor is developed which is the last word in uniform good ness and one that no other coffee can equal.
 Hills Bros. Coffee is sold every where by grocers. It comes to you perfectly fresh because it is packed in vacuum. This process extracts air, which destroys the. flavor of co6es, from the can and keeps it out. Ordinary cans, even if air tight, do not keep coffee fresh. Ask for Hills Bros. Coffee by name and look for the Arab-the trademark -on the can.

Miss 1891 May Not Cook
 But She Knows Airplanes

NEW YORK, March 6.-Young Miss 1881 of the Girl Scout age is enthusiastically air-minded, but her interest in cooking isn't what it used to be.
 These facts stood out in answers to a questionnaire recently submit ted to the girls themselves in an attempt to find out what sort of material they wanted in their Girl Scout magazine, The American Girl.
 The girls answers revealed that their favorite sports are tennis swimming, golfing and canoeing, in the order named. They are keenly interested in movie reviews, avia- tion, business success and, of course in becoming beautiful. But they just can't seem to grow interested in the kitchen.

Freak Story Reveals Fury
Storm of rs.

SUPERIOR, Wis, March 49,
Among the many fantastic nara
tiveo Of northern Wisconsin is one
said to be based on facts which re-
veals how terrific northeastern
gale blew part Of Minnesota into
Wisconsin.
The story was found among the
records Of John Bardon, early
Superior settler, and the phenome-
non is supposed to have taken place
in 1876.
Warm winds melted a heavy layer
of snow on Superior hay until a
sudden cold snap froze the surface
smooth as glass. With the cold
came a nor1heaster that ragged for
three days.
A sand mound overlooked tree
tops On Minnesota Point. It was
directly in the gales path. Grad
ually the wind dug into the mound
and loosened the frozen sand. With
continued fury the wind blew sand
across the CLASSY bay.
Each day the wind tore up more
Of the mound and whipped il
towards Wisconsin. When the storm
subsidized residents of Oltown, Sup.
erior, were amazed to see a bar
rier Of sand in place of vast
swamp which had originally beer
there.

''You know I don't play!"
I'know, dear. Neither will I. It's
going to make three even tables"
In the confusion of selecting part
ners and getting seated at the bridge
tables, Gypsy slipped from the room.
She made her way to Anne's bed
room. She would leave a note and
escape.
With one hand on the door Of the
room, the girl hesitated. What was
that noise across the hall?
She heard it a second time. It was
a scraping sound and it came from
behind the door at the left.
Gypsy hesitated. Slowly she
pushed the door open, switched on
the light.
Facing her, in the half-opened
window, she saw man.
