steady customer at police court.
He has been a winter visitor in
FL Centro Tor a number of years
and had had instructions TO stay
cut Of town. He intended to fol-
low orders, he said, but the attrac-
tions of the "Jungles were too en-
ticing for him to resist. Reynolds
stopped for a chat with the inhab-

canned heat. This jag brought about
his arrest and still more trouble.
Local police recently received in
structions to hold Reynolds for po-
lice at Anaheim, San Bernardnc
and other places where he wa.
wanted fer passing bad checks.
Now he is behind the bars III the

Financial News Stocks Bonds Commodities and Conn1en
Hope Main Prop to Market
Now, Haney Declares

cially strong Germany is yet in
sight. l do not think that COM
plete German debacle was ever
discounted in the stock market.
Therefore I do not see how the
merely negative progress that is
being made can put stocks up
much. The recent action of Ger
man bonds is not even encour-
aging.
There is no indication that the
railways are going to get any
such general rate advance as they
are asking, or that 1t would help
them much II they should get it..
I am sure that if the Reserve
Board believes it can start credit
Initiation now, it is wrong. The
banks outside New York do not
want it. Their problem is still
one Of liquidation.
Hopes for Fall Slim
Hopes of a business revival this
fall are still premature. I believe
that in we'll informed quarters
there is as much fear that any
gains will be less than normal
for the season as there is hope
of more.
Certainly the market is not
going to get anywhere as long as
the present public apathy pre-
walls and the trading volume is
so low.
Since so many of the leading
stocks are being held at prices
which are abnOrmalIy high for a
major depression period, we must
infer that obstinate investors lat
much higher prices) are still
hanging on, and that liquidation
is not complete in such stocks.
Their yields are too low to at
tract investors, and their present
owners do not have the means
to mark them up and thus de-
velop a speculative following.
It seems to me that in order
to get activity and a good basis
for a sustained recovery, the mar
ket will have to be let down to a
lower level-sooner or later.

LABOR DEMAND.
INCREASED

An improvement in the demand
for certain classes Of labor dur
ing June was reported by the
U. s. Employment Service in its
monthly bulletin issued yesterday.
The volume of road conStruc-
ton increased in practically every
State and a large number Of
men previously unemployed were
absorbed in this work, it was
stated. New road and bridge
contracts recently let will pro-
vide additional employment, the
service reported.
Some expansion was reported
in building. but activities in this
industry remained below normal
and the supply Of labor ex-
ceeded the demand in many
localities.
Work on the 1881 municipal
improvement programs advanced
to the point where it had pro-
vided employment for many
skilled and unskilled laborers in
the various cities of the country,
the bulletin reported.
Hydroelectric development prof.
ects, the construction of dams and
tunnels, and the expansion Of
public utilities continued in good
volume" and offered employment
to many men, it was stated.
