CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, June / GN.Sl.
Coarse yarn gray goods markets
were quiet today. Scattered
small orders for print cloths and
sheetings were placed early in
the day, but the demands were
generally light and buyers were
content to await developments.
Sellers commented on the market
to the effect that they were con-
vinced that gray goods prices
were Scraping bottom. Some ad-
vanced the opinion that some re-
coVery might be due before long,
basing their contentious on rec.
ords of past seasons and On the
knowledge that some centers
were in need of goods. It was
also pointed out that some buyers
who for long period have been
given to purchase on a hand to-
mouth basis, seldom more than
80 days ahead, now appear 10

faVorably.

Possibilities of Profit Over
Long Term Illustrated in
Reynolds Tobacco Record
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, June Perhaps
one reason why common stocks
will continue to retain a foremost
position in we'll rounded invest
ment programs in the future, has
been the romantic appeal built
around the long pull profit pos
sibilities of carefully selected
junior securities.
Take R. J. Reynolds Tobacco
for example.
The purchase of 100 shares Of
the common stock of this com
pany around the 220 level Of
early 1912 would have involved
an investment of $4,000. Exer-
else of subsequent rights would
have meant an investment OF
$16,700 more, or $38,700 in all.
Vast Profits Shown
On that stock, dividends in the
past 1872 years would have
amounted to $3.50, 900, or more
than six times the original invest
ment. Stock split-ups, stock divi-
dendS, and exercise of rights
would give the holder of 100
shares of common at the start Of
1912, a present holding OF 1888
common "a, and 10000 CO nrnon
"B", with an aggregate market
value of $670 900, or about ia
times the original investment.
An extensive survey Of the
chemical industry just completed
by Standard Statistics discloses
that earnings in this field are
being maintained at better than
average levels.
The near term outlook for the
trade, however, is not considered
satisfactory, and aggregate profits
in the industry for the first six
months of 1881 will probably
decline close to 40 per cent be-
low those of the corresponding
1880 period.
Chemicals History Good
However, the study brings out
the information that the chem
ical industry has been consplcu-
GUS by its exceptional recupera-
tive powers following previous
business receSsions, and there
seems to be no, reason why this
tendency should not be repeated
in the present instance.

News That Packers and Chain
Stores Intend Invasion OF
Ice Cream Field Hits Hard
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK. June 0N.SJ.
The railroad stocks and special,
. ties were the leaders today in a
new and extensive downward
movement. in which losses of
l to 8 points were recorded in
. lnog list of the speculative ia.
-Vorites.
Instead Of finding support for
the leading stocks with the re-
opening after the holiday. the
market was confronted with an,
other violent outbreak Of selling
and there was nothing for the
general list of stocks to do but
seek lower price levels.
The heaviest losers we're the
rails. the food stocks, the steel
shares and a limited number of
the utilities and specialtieS. Wide
breaks took place in the food
stocks on reports that the pack
ing companies and chain stores
were planning an invasion of the
ice cream field.
National Dairy Products tum-
bled 712 points to n, and Bor-
denS at Al showed q loss of 4
points. Gold Dust fell off 3h
points to 81.
In spite of the hugh losses Sus-
tanned by the railroad stocks in
tn elast few months, further Sc
we're declines were recorded today
as large blocks Of the carriers
were thrown on the market.
Atchison and Sante Fe fell off
about 10 points to 1876. New York
Central fell off from around 78
to 72A. new loss of nearly 6
points for the day and 1914 from
the. high of last week. Southern
Pacific fell through to 68.
u. S. Steel Again Drops
United States Steel started the
week nearly 2 points lower, but
was unable to hold even at that
price. Steady pressure against
this stock forced it back to IS
in the third hour. down about
41a points and a new low since
1922.
General Motors dropped under
80 in heavy selling.

NAVY KEEPS WEATHER

WASHINGTON, D. C., Dec. fl, P)-While the American govern ment seeks peace between China and Japan, the Navy keeps 2 wea- ther eye on the Far East.
 Secretary Adams annual report said: Tt appears that China is due for a considerable period of unrest" !" At Shanghai are 1,2OO Marines and at Peiping a legation guard of about 500 Marines.
 Banditry has assumed larger pro- portions of late in China. Review ing operations of the Asiatic fleet, Adams said bandit activities were responsible for repeated firings on United States men-of-War and merchant vessels along the Yang tze and Slang rivers.
 Although h holding Marines at Shanghai was described as "con- tlnued measure of ICotection of American lives and interests against the hazards incident to the disturbed political conditions and resultant Strife," Secretary Adams emphasized there had been no call on that unit for active combat op- erations during the year and that "the same cordial relations with the Chinese people and their officials have been preserved"

CABINET IS FORMED
in SPAIN BY AzNAR,
.R0YAL|ST ADMIRAL
Revolution on One Hand and
Dictatorship on Other Be-

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, February 18.-After four
days of political turmoil and uncer-
tainty, Spain today had new men
archist cabinet, avoiding revolution on
the one hand and dictatorship on the
other.
Either of those possibilities had
seemed imminent, but now it is believed
that the tense atmosphere of the past
week will be cleared and that the situa-
ton is once mere tranquil, at least for
the time being.
The fundamental causes of all the
trouble of the past year still exist, how
ever, and opposition to the monarchy
probably will be renewed when the
time is ripe.
Cabinet Is Sworn in.
Admiral Juan Bautista Aznar, the
oldest ranking officer in the Spanish
Navy, and generally regarded as neu-
trail in politics, succeeded where Jose
Sanchez Guerra and Melquiades AL
varez had failed This afternoon he
brought a new cabinet to the royal pal
ace and its members were sworn in be-
fore the King It includes Gen. Beren-
guer, the admiral's predeces sor, and
the Count of Romanones, whose re-
fusal to participate in Berenguer's cleo
ton program resulted in the generals
downfall.
II was understood the new govern
ment would move Immediately for a
general election in all municipalities
next month, for election of General
Councils in May and national par
Iiamenfarv election in June
1t was understood also that there
would be a constitutional convention.

the 1876 constitution as appears ad-

to be filled shortly.

NEW DEFENDS PART
IN POSTAL LEASES.
Relations With Assistant
Termed "Strained" by For
mer Postmaster General.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Former Postmaster General New today
defended vigorously his conduct in con-
nection with postal leases and revealed
that relations between himself and his
first assistant, John H. Bartlett, were
badly strained.
Before the Senate committee investi-
eating the leasing of the St. Paul COM
mercial postal station and other leases
New praised Bartlett's ability in business
negotiations and said that for this rea-
son he had endured him."
Charge Is Denied.
He denied he had attempted to pre-
vent g. grand jury investigation of the
lease or recommended dismissal of the
assistant district attorney who prepared
the case for the jury.
He said Bartlett had complete, I'M
trameled supervision" of every lease
made during his regime.
New said all circumstances of all
leases, including the st. Paul station
lease, were fully known to Bartlett.
The committee had previously received
testimony that the st. Paul Commercial
Station lease was signed with Bart
let's name in his absence by subordi-
nate at News direction.
Lease Executed With Good.
Chairman Blaine had intimated high
Republican officials sought to avert a
grand jury investigation of the lease
in 1923 for fear it would have a detri-
mental effect on their presidential cam
paign
New said the lease was executed with
the late James W. Good. President
Hoover's first Secretary of War, acting
as counsel Tor Jacob Klup, the lessor.
In 1923, Good was Western cam
paign manager for Hoover. Blaine had
sought to connect him with an effort
to prevent grand jury investigation
of the lease.
Bartlett had testified it was we'll
known in the department that he was
opposed to the lease. New said 1t was
absurd to say" he did not consult
Bartlett.
Goods suggestion was that a new
lease be executed at lower rental, bur
without a cancellation clause contained
in the lease then current. New said
this saved the Government $4,000.
Testimony Called Untrue.
"As to my interviews with Mr.. Good, "
New continued, Il am most thankful to
be able to say that am not the type
Of man to call man friend in life
and then by insinuation and innuendo
asperse his good reputation after he Is
dead"
New termed absolutely untrue" Bart
let's testimony that the St Paul lease
had been signed with his name Bart
letts) by Charles F. Trotter, subordi-
nate, at News direction.
LAS a matter of fact, Trotter never
did sign it," New said. There was
nothing irregular or nothing unusual
about any feature of that transaction
and the lease went to Bartlett's desk
as did every other lease or paper like
it."
Turning to campaign contributions
and Chairman Blaine's assertions that
postal lessons had contributed heavily
to the Coolidge and Hoover campaign
chests, New said he never even heard
the subject mentioned" and it would
have made no possible difference"
