COTTON LOSES
7-1O POINTS
ABALE

NEW YORK, Oct. % QN.sO.
Cotton futures turned reactionary
today after a steady advance
Of three days.
A feature of the early trading
was the selling from the south
and from cooperative brokers,
credited as hedge sales.
Liverpool Selling
Wall Street sold December
which was taken up by spot
firms, but there was also some
Wall Street and wire house buy
ing of distant months. Liverpool
was on the selling side of the
market.
Early cables were a half dozen
American points higher than due,
but Liverpool at the time of the
New York first call was about in
line with due prices.
Fair weather and temperatures
about seasonal prevailed over the
entire belt.
The Dallas News cotton condi-
ton report today stated that kill
ing frost on the South plains will
speed up cotton opening and har-
vest, which one the whole has
been rather slow, owing to rank
stalk, leaf growth and rain.
Up to Expectations
In the main, the Northwest
Texas crop is up to previous
expectations, except in areas
largely below caprock.
Around noon futures were off
7 to 10 points. December was
off 8 at $50, January off 9 at
6.33, March off Z at 6.43, May
off z at 6.54, July off at $50
and october off 10 at 6.75.

D, c, CLEAR|NCS
SAG|N WEEK

Washington bank clearings in
the week ended october 26 were
$15,316,0O0, as compared with
5000, 900 the previous week. In
this same reserve district, Balti'
more and Norfolk losses were OF
similar proportion, while Rich
mond clearings showed a modest
gain.
Bank clearingS at At leading
cities for the week, as reported by
Bradstreet's Weekly, totaled $4,'
476, ,098, 900, a decrease of $50 per
cent from the preceding week,
The total, however, was only 22.1
per cent below a year ago.
Cities outside New York city
declined 1853 per cent from the
previous week, a decrease nor.
mally expected due to seasonal
tendencies. Therefore, after ad
justment, the index stands at 4O.9
per cent of the 1928-30 average,
as compared with 40.8 last week
and SIT for the corresponding
week last year.
The fact that stock market
activity in all large cities was ex
tremely small during the week
accounts for much of the decline
In the actual figures.

is, GOLD LEVEL
NEAR 81 MARK

American monetary gold stocks
October 26 were virtually on the
same level as a year earlier, the
Federal Reserve Board announced
today.
With a gain of $30,o0O,000 dur
ing the past week, stocks were
increased to $4,257, 200, 900, a gain
of $34S, 100000 since the low point
reached June IS, a time when
fears were expressed in some quar-
terS that the gold standard could
not be maintained. Stocks were
only $31 ,000,00O under October %,
1881.
At the end of October, 1881,
was terminated the heavy out
ward movement of gold that fol-
lowed the financial breakdown in
Europe and abandonment of the
gold standard by Great Britain.
Another serious movement Of gold
away from the United States
stopped June Is.
Another sharp decrease of $37,-
100000 in money circulation oc-
Cured during the week of October
26, at time when circulation
normally would increase.
The volume of money outside
of the Treasury and Federal re-
serve banks has declined $191, ,000,-
00G since the high point July g..
Circulation is now but $103, 900, 900
higher than last year, while July
6 it was $685., 100000 higher.
BY reason of restored conf
dence in the banking structure it
was estimated that close to $780,
100000 in cash has been taken
from hoard and replaced in the
banks, from which it found it's
way back to the reserve banks
and the Treasury.

Professor of Economics New York
University

University
The stock market seems to be
de-bunked. At least when the
Steel Corporation continues its
unearned dividend, there is no
hurrahing, and stocks slide off.
Eearnings count, and the people
know it.
Despite hopes that poor third
quarter earnings had been "dls-
counted" the cold figures were
chilling to sentiment.
Others Showing Poorly
big Steel" showed an opera
ting loss of $4,474,000 in the third
quarter. After figuring various
fixed charges, its total loss was
$20,871, 900. In nine months, it
lost $54,542,00O.
Despite the pickup in business
in September, the quarters loss
was a little greater than in the
June quarter. It compares with
a small profit a year ago.
Several other big steel COM
panies make a similar showing.
General Electric earned only z
cents share in the third quar-
ter. which compares with 80 cents
last year. It's sales were just
about half what they were in the
same quarter of 1881.
Bond Sale Saves Cash
1t is interesting to note that
the directors of U. S. Steel have
thought it wise to sell $24, 900, 900
of the Government bonds they
held in June. (They do not tell
us why) Their cash and Govern
ment bonds still amounted to
over $130,000,000 on September
80, but that compares with $751;
100000 on June 80.
It is also interesting to note
that General Electric had 1859
stockholders, against 139,697 a
year ago. Evidently insiders or
other large holders have been
letting the public have some.
Aside from the very bad earn
jngs Of most of the big corpora
tions, probably the most impor-
tant economic factor is the weak
ness in commodity prices, par
ticularly wheat. It will take but
little further decline in commod-
ity prices to wipe out entirely the
July-AuguSt squirt.

STOCKS STRONG
AS CARRIERS
!: !. SET PACE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Oct. % Q.N.S0.
The stock market was stronger
today as the rails worked higher
In anticipation of another favor
able car loadings report tomor-
row.
- Gains ran from fractions to
slightly more than o point. Trad
ing showed pickup over the
weeks dull sessions, but first-hour
volume only promised about l.
100000 shares for the full ses-
sion.
Carriers PacemakerS
Union Pacific, New York Cen
tral, Atchison and Lackawanna
were the pacemakers in the car
rier section, while the rest scored
fractional gains. Improved action
OF railroad bonds, especially the
second grade issues, stimulated
sentiment on the group.
Wall Street was put in a better
frame of mind by the weekend
trade reports, which stated busi-
ness was holding it's gains.
Brokers loans dropped $81 900, 600
eor the week, falling back near
their old-time low, and the weekly
federal Reserve Bank statement
disclosed further improvement in
1Gondition.
Bethlehem Ignored
"a Bethlehem Steel's record break
ing loss for the third quarter was
ignored by the steel stocks. Both
u. s. Steel and Bethlehem issues
were better, the formers common
and preferred rising about a
point each.
Auburn was strong in the
motors, aided by short covering.
American Can and American
Helephone were strong leaders.

BANK WEAKNESS
|SD|AGNOSED

Asserting that the recent flood
of bank failures throughout the
United States has been due
"only in part" to depression
causes, DR.. Charles o. Hardy,
of the Brookings Institution
staff, argues in a study just
published that the danger of
these inSolvencies may be at
least partly eliminated by requir-
ing banks to maintain more
ample capital and surplus in
relation to capital.
Pointing out that in the dec
ade 1922-31 there were 8,784
bank insolvencies in this coun-
try, or 20 per cent of the total
number of banks in operation
at the beginning of this period,
the author finds that inherent
instability, evidenced by the un-
paralleled record of bank insol-
vencies, is found in:
"The whole system of pyra-
miding q vast array Of Obliga-
tiOns which, technically or
practically, are payable on de-
mand, ON q slender basis Of
cash and an even slenderer
base in the form of stock
holders equity placing depen-
dencc for sOlvency on assets
which can only be liquidated
hv transfer or by wholesale
destruction Of monetary values"
Many other current problems
of central banking policy are
examined by DR.. Hardy in his
Credit Policies of the Federal
Reserve System,"
The Washington times., 1932-10-28
Bunk Irks Public, Counting
Earnings, Says Haney

This affects company earnings
farm purchasing power and busi
ness sentiment. Men bought ir
August just because prices were
being marked up. Now they
withhold buying just because
prices are going down.
With direct reference to secur
ity markets, we should note the
continued weakness in bonds. Il
"easy money" can help anything
it should help the bond market
And if investment buying" is
factor it should be seen in bonds
Another point to note is the
fact that day after day the ma
jority of stocks show declines
The indications are that dribbline
liquidation has been quite gen
eral throughout the list.
Political Fears Factor
In the background, We can see
fear of a political change. Ru
mors of marchers on Washington
by various groups, are heard
Riots in Great Britain and the
sharp decline in the pound Ster'
ling suggest disturbing thought
about foreign conditions.
A fresh wave of squandering our
Government credit in loans to
railways and farmers, is evident.
The apparent Improvement in the
banking figures is largely due to
Government financial operations
which result in loading the banks
with Government paper.
So, while election uncertain
ties'' may produce uncertain
movements in the stock market,
the general trend should be down
ward. The stock market quota
tions should lose all the ballyhoo
gains they made after the early
August loW-at least.
Story Told in Chart
Look at the chart. Imagine a
straight line drawn down from the
early September peak through the
late September top. You will see
that the rally of a week ago car
ried up almost to that line and
then backed away.
The whole picture seems to tell
a story of gradual liquidation and
distribution.
If not in the market, stay out.
If long, liquidate on the next
bulge" If short, stay short.
