Sales of crowns in the first six
months of this year exceeded those OF
the corresponding period of 1880. The
large volume of sales in July is attrlb-
Uted partly to the high temperatures
which prevailed for almost the entire

During the first six months Of the

ating profit Of S645,595. against S777,-

to the fact that hopes Of an Autumnal
business upturn have been dimmed by

Thrse reasons are apparent for the
triple trading pace of the market In
the final hour Friday. They were:
Prospects Of b steel wage cut, which
may come next 1lesday; the British
cabinet crisis, which brought selling
from London, and President Hoover's
unemployment plans for next Winter,
which have engendered the feeling that
no decisive industrial recovery is ex-
pected soon.
In the decline some see merely .
weakened technical condition of the
market. Whatever, may have been the
cause for the change In sentiment, 1t is
quite generally agreed. in the week end
business reviews and elsewhere. that in
dustry is not making rapid strides up
ward. In view of this fact, brokers are
urging caution In both near and long

ANOTHER WELCOME VOICE.

Congressman Simmons, Republican of Nebraska, who has completed thorough investigation Of con ditions in Western Alaska including the Railroad Belt is convinced that the railroad deficit would be better solved by a reduction of rates so that more passenger traffic and greater tonnage would result than by the increases recently put into effect by the Department of the Interior.
 There seems to be general acquiescence in this conclusion Not only Alaskans who use the railroad but other Congressmen who have looked into it are in agreement with the eminent Nebraskan.
 It ought not to be difficult for the people Of the Railroad Belt to get a reduction in rates and an improvement in the service that will create more business and make more railroad work for those who live in the vicinity of the railroad.
