DS lne ASSoCldleO FIeSS.
Trial of the injunction proceedings
instituted against Appalachian Goals.
Inc, by the Department of Justice, will
begin before the United States Circuit
Court of Appeals of the Fourth Circuit

tered into an agreement of monopoly in
violation of the antitrust laws.
The coal corporation was organized

plan whereby production and consump-
ton could be regulated on an orderly
basis through regional outlets. At the
time of its formation it was declared
by its sponsors to be the best hope Of

BY EDWARD c. STONE.

Complete reports of retail sales in SIS

any special rejoicing yet they are highly
interesting and informative. Washing
:on stores loom large on the business
horizon for June and for the first six
months of the year With the drop of
only 10 per cent, they top the record
made by the SIS leading stores for the
fifth district, While the aggregate sales
volume of these stores leads the 500
leading stores all over The United States,
the fifth district % per cent slump be-
ing compared with 26 per cent decrease
for the II districts
The dollar volume of sales in Balti
more was off 244 per cent in June,
while Richmond noted a decline of 24.l
per cent Durham. N. c., came the
nearest to equaling the sales volume in
Washington Cumulative sales for the
fifth district as a whole in the first
five months of the present year were of
10 per cent, against loss in business in
Washington of only Is per cent.

Special DlSpatcn 10 me ctar.
NEW YORK. August 27.-1mprove-
ment in securities prices in general and
fixed income e-bearing issues in particu-
lar is confidently expected to facilitate
the Governments plan to take care OF
financial requirements for the third
quarter of the current year.
More than 81 900, ,000, 900 is needed for
refinancing and other purposes and an
issue to that amount may be offered Tor
public subscription the middle OF next
month. With sentiment greatly i'm
proved, the new bonds should have a
strong appeal to investors as well as in
stitutions, especially institutions which,
as result Of the sharp gain in So
called Second-grade securities, will be
in a position to replace them with
United States Government obligations.
Individual investors may perhaps prefer
to conflne their activities to somewhat
inferior issues and equities or common
stocks, now rapidly gaining favor In the
eyes Of the public.
OF the proposed financing. S712 ,000,-
900 will be employed for refunding an
existing note issue bearing interest at
take care of maturing per cent GER
tificates. Should the operation meet
with success the Government may wish
TO convert the Liberty first 4l4 per cent
loan by new issue carrying a lower
coupon. At the present time it appears
that long-term financing on a slightly
better than 3 per cent basis could be
undertaken with reasonable assurance
Of success.

STOCKS POINT WAY
TO BUSINESS GAIN
Economists Declare Market
Gives Evidence of Improve
ment in Trade.
BY CHAs. p. SHAEFFER,


Economic students in Washington,
both governmental and private, ex-
press no amazement that security prices
are rising in the face of the generally
low level of all business.
They point out that the poor pros
poets for considerable profits in the
third quarter Of this year does not op-
crate against any advance in security
prices, and in this theory they are
Joined by no less an authority than
Richard Whitney, president of the New
York Stock Exchange. He told the AS
sociated Press that in his opinion the
stock market would not only reflect the
return of better times, but would an
ticipate them as soon as there Is any
indication that business is reviving.
The majority of leading trade in
dicators are down, but upturns are
being shown in some specialized lines
OF industry. notably textiles. In the
leading barometers the production OF
electricity is showing 13 per cent drop
over last year; car loadings of revenue
freight are irregular, with the trend
being downward; production of auto
mobiles was off Al per cent in July. as
compared with the same month OF last
year, and production of steel is at IA
per cent of capacity, compared with "a
per cent of capacity during the same
time last year. July exports were the
lowest since 1908, while imports during
the same month were at a level not
paralleled since 1904.
Despite these factors, there Is an un-
deniable better feeling with respect to
the business situation. Nor Is 1t ali
based on Intangible factors.
Treasury reports indicate that bank
failures have practically ceased, while
the Reconstruction Finance Corpora
ton bulwarks virtually every worthy In
stitution, assuring it that financial dif-
ficulties occasioned by frozen assets can
be met during the period of the pres
ent emergency. The home owner has
been heartened by expectations OF help
from the home loan discount banks.
while the farmers have source OF aid
in the Federal Farm loan banks whose
capital was bolstered during the last
session of Congress by $125,ooo,00o.
Government economists expect the
leading trade indicators to shoot up
ward by leaps and bounds upon a no
ticeable improvement in business.

though its subsidiary, Arkansas Natural

Aside from the good cheerful tenor Of
the week end trade reviews, there was
not much in the way Of new develop

declared the regular quarterly preferred
dividends. Midvale Co. cut its quarterly
from 81 to Is cents. Bullock Fund. Ltd,
offered to exchange its shares for Inter
national Superpower Corporation based
on liquidating value as Of September 10
next.
The early rise in wheat started an
upward move in Deere & Co. Some
slight flrming of copper prices abroad
created following in Newmont Mining.
which has been benefiting from its
South African holdings.
Higher hog quotations and the first
gain in packers meat sales over the
preceding month since last October, as
shown in July statistics, helped Swift

did better. The company has just
opened store here in the financial
