In the cities this is true. though even
there a surprising number OF houses
are without electric lights. But in
the rural districts, 80 per cent of the
homes are unwired. The National
Electric Light Association says so.
Here is a great potential market for
light and power. Whereas the average
city dWeller is confined to using his
electric current for light, household ap-
planes and the radio. in the country
the farmer can use it for power to OPP
crate bis machinery. 1t furnishes a
semi-industrial outlet for central sta
ton power
The main obstacle in the past has
been the excessive cost of getting pow
er to the point of consumption. Usually
the farmer has to pay heavy portion
of the cost of running the line to his
farm. With so many other burdens Of
expense. he has regarded electric serv-
ice as luxury. At the same time he
knew that with the service he could go
far toward pulling himself out Of the
n1ire with better production methods.
In Ontario Province. Canada, the
government has for some time had a
program of rural electrif1cation in
which part OF the profits of the state
owned system is used to substitute the
extension of rural service. The United
States may find it wise to consider a
similar program. In Ontario it has
helped to stabilize the farmer and so
given a better tone to the whole eco
nomic life of the province. The sub
sidy has been paid back to the citizens
many times over in the general better
ment and lower prices on more farm
and dairy products.

NEW YORK, May 30-While the
squirt in the general demand for mems
shoes during the last month has brought
the unit volume since the beginning of
the year very close to that of the cor
responding period of 1880, orders from
independent dealers are tagging be-
hind, reports from New York trade
circles indicate. The smaller stores are
bordering very cautiously to cover only
their immediate needs and are not
making any purchases in advance.
Attempts to check the downward
trend in silk prices by artificial means
or to capitalize on the price fall by
adopting trading down policy were
both condemned by a committee of
merchandise managers of the National
Retail Dry Goods Association and mem
bers of the Silk Association of Amer
lea. 1t was agreed that interests Of
both parties could best be served by
allowing the price situation to take its
own course.
A volume demand from independent
retailers in many sections of the coun-
try for mems shirts to retail at two

tana have been received from indie

REPORTS
TRENDS AND PROSPECTS OF
LEADING ORGANIZATIONS
BY II. N. McGILL,
iitor McGill Commodity Service.


AUBURNDALE, Mass, May 3d.
During the past week the general index
of commodity prices has continued the
weakness that has been shown for
some time past. The downward trend
was only fractional, yet another new
low point has been established.
A review of price changes In the
IA individual groups shows declined,
remain unchanged and advanced.
The price upturns occurred only IN the
groups Of paper, paints and coarse
textiles. 1t is not surprising thst COM
modify prices continue to remain soft,
as there has been no great increase
in industrial activity. 1t is we'll known
for several months after business has
made Roadway on the up side.
1t Is interesting to note the trend
line in industrial production for some
years back. During the period from
1855 to 1870 this trend line showed
practically no gvrations. From 1870
through 1905 there were moderate
movements up and down. Since that
time. and more particularly In the
last Is years since the Inauguration
of mass production with rapid turnover
and valleys have been particularly
noticeable. We are now In one of
these valleys, and consequently the
time which 1t takes to emerge from
these periods Is greatly heightened.
All Commodities.
Noting specific changes during the
modities the index, while declining
was only fractionally lower. The
groups that declined were building ma
terials, hides, non-ferrous metals, fer
rous metals, textiles. fine and vege-
table oils and agriculture.
Industrial Prices.
The downward movement which has
characterized industrial prices for some
time past continued. Although pro-
duetion has been reduced substantially
in several lines, the upturn in busi-
ness activity has not been sufficient
to reduce heavy stocks that have accu-
mulated in most lines. Purchasers seem
to be holding strictly to the hand-to-
mouth procedure of buying.
Agriculture.
Agricultural prices held fairly stable.

to show a slightly upward tendency.

downward trends. OF the other agri-
cultural products, fax and butter show
ed downward trend with eggs slight
ly higher.
Hides.
One Of the weakest Of the group was
hides due to easing in the price of
cattle hides, calfskins and union sole
Non-Ferrous Metals.
Still lower levels were reached for
non-ferrous metals during the past
week. with antimony, copper, silver, tin
and zinc all showing weakness. Cop
per reached new low during the week
of $50 cents.
Textiles.
Fine textiles continued the downward
trend with cotton, sheetings, yarns and
wool declining. Cotton reached a new
low for this movement, which has not
been equaled since 1915.
Vegetable Oils.
The heaviest decline of any of the
groups was shown by vegetable oils, with
cocoanut, corn, cottonseed and palm Oil
showing weakness.
The group that remained unchanged
were chemicals, livestock and fuels.

SHARP GAIN ENDED
1907 TRADE SLUMP
Newspaper Files Reveal Sud-
den Reversal After Long
Depression Period.

Evidence that the sharp upturn in
stock market prices which began in
September, 1907, after a period of de-
preston, was totally unexpected and
was Immediately preceded by the same
sort of pessimism which prevails in
many quarters today is contained IN a
bulletin to statesmen prepared by Will
liam Scobey, manager of one OF the
Eastern sales divisions of S. w. Straus
& Co. The bulletin, originally pre-
pared only for distribution among sales
men, has received such a wide atten-
ton that 1t has been given general cir
culation.
From a chart of security prices on
the New York Stock Exchange for the
year 1907 Mr.. Scobey found that, after
a continuous decline in values, the
stock market turned upward in Septem-
ber-October of 1907 without any pre-
Hous warning. Files of New York
newspapers from August l to August
IS. 1907, just so days before the market
turned upward, reveal the presence of
pessimism and fear comparable to what
is being quite widely felt at the pres
ent time. The 1907 financial headlines
read almost exactly like those in to-
days papers, "a years later. Following
are q few Of the many headlines found
by Mr.. Scobey in the 1907 papers:
New York Central Fails to Earn Di-
vidend-Deficit of $2411,592 for Six
Months; Heavy Selling in U S. Steel
Directors Admit Falling Of of New

Low Levels; "Only Shortness of Day
Prevents Panic on Exchange; Disaster
Coming - J. D. Rockefeller Warns
Country: Call Money New Low at
az; whole World Fast Turning to
Socialism; mo Faith In President"
While not presuming that conditions
of "a years ago may be taken as an
indication that We are at the end of
the present period of depression, Mr..
Scobey believes that the statements are
very interesting and valuable since they
show that Immediately after a period
of deepest gloom a period of prosperity
can set in unexpectedly and without
warning

NOVARRO SAYS
LOVE MAKING
IS GAMBLE

"You take practically no risks
Of failure in making a comedy;
you are gambling on a 1O-tO-1
shot every time you appear in
straight dramatic prOduc-
ton"
Responsible for this striking
statement Is Ramon Novarro,
Metro-G Goldwyn-Mayer star whose
latest production is "Daybreak,"
now playing at Loew's Palace
Theater.
Even If a comedy is bad, it
is often very funny" stated
NOvarrO. MANY a comedy has
been a huge success because
of the ludriciOus nature of bad
acting or errors made by play
erS, which were not originally
intended for laughing pur-
poses.
But you have no such saw.
ing grace when you make a
straight dramatic production.
You are dealing with serious
affairs of life and love, and
unless you can impress your
audiences with the essential
sincerity of your characterize
tiOnS, and the specific Situa-
ton in which you are engaged,
you fail of your object.
"If you fail, folks are apt to
laugh and there is nothing SO
fatal to drama as a false
laugh. You can stand it in
comedy, even be helped by it,
but in serious pictures it is
deadly"
Novarro's role in "Daybreak" is
one of the most dramatic, it is
said, that he ever portrayed. AS
the romantic officer of Arthur
Schnitzler's celebrated book the
star runs the gamut of emo
tional acting in a plot which
runs from light comedy to sheer
tragedy.
The Washington times., 1931-05-30

RICARDO CORTEZ turn, Is in
parts facetiouS, but for the most
part the action is melodramatic,
carrying in its wake all the
weaknesses Of melodrama.
With beauteous Mary Astor
sporting the newest in Partisan
clothes and snappy pajamas and
displaying dazzling white shoul-
ders. the play might have had
that sophiStication which EN-
hances many an ordinary pic
ture. But here, too, white
Shoulders" misses the mark and
passes off only a thin veneer of
the life Of millionaires in New
York and on the Riviera.
Miss Astor does her white
shouldering with bit of
fineSse, but her co-star, Jack
Holt, is just fair.
Relapsing from his one ven
ture as hero in "The Maltese
Falcon" Ricardo Cortez picks up
again as the seductive bad man.
Cortez is often good though
handicapped by the mediocre
