COTTON EASIER
AFTER STEADY
OPENING

NEW YORK, June 8 0N.S).
An easier tone ruled in cotton fu-
lures today, following a steady
opening a few points below Thurs
days close. With Liverpool
slightly higher than due.
Trading was in restricted vol
ume. Local traders and the South
did most of the selling. There
was scattered liquidation of July
by commission houses.
A moderate volume Of price fix
ing orders from the trade had &C
cumulated overnight, Liverpool
and the Continent bought
There was a good demand from
Wall Street for distant months.
Traders evinced interest in fig
ures revealing that exports for the
season thus far are now 8,007,049
bales, linters included, and 1866
991 ahead of a year ago.
Noon quotations were un-

Encouraging, Says Haney,
IF Trade Holds Own

Grains declined as rains i'm
lower.
Indices of industrial production
also continued to show recession,
and unemployment appears to
have shown no improvement.
Electrical power production de-
clined and was 1877 per cent be-
low a year ago.
StagnatiOn Evidenced
Bank debts and clearings are
now running A to 48 per cent
below the same week in 1881. No
more conclusive measures of the
stagnation of business could be
found.
Bank loans showed a further
contraction.
Nearly $1OO, 900 900 in gold was
shipped out of the country last
week.
The Governments deficit in
creased. Between May and
May 20 the Government deficit
increased $3.50, 100000. Of this,
about one-half was due to ad-
vances to the Reconstruction FL
nance Corporation. Gn other
words, it was piling public debt

Leadership Lacking
About the only thing Congress
has decided is that our beer
drinkers must continue to go to
the bootlegger. While some tax
measure is near, nothing ap-
preaching a really balanced
budget is even contemplated.
The Washington times., 1932-06-03
By LEWIS HANEY
Director of New York University
Bureau of Business Research.


Our weekly summary of bust
ness trends must be quite color
less this time. There has simply
been but little change.
Perhaps this is as encouraging
as anything that could reason
ably be expected. AS business
swings into the usually dull sum-
mer period with so little momen-
tum, it does we'll enough to hold
it's ground.
Some CHEEKY Aspects
In seeking for the more cheer
full aspects, one notes first that
in several cases the prices of com
modities have held up better of
late. Zinc has actually risen. Tai
low and cottonseed oil markets
are stronger. Silver and copper
have seemed firm.
While such cases are not the
result of any large buying, and
further sustained strength is far
from certain, they give some
ground for hope that greater
price stability may be in prospect.
Ford has apparently overcome
mechanical difficulties sufficiently
to allow an expansion in his pro
duction. Although a relatively
small factor, this has helped the
demand for steel a little.
Many Adverse Factors
But the weekly averages of
commodity prices touched new
lows again last week. Textile
materials were. all depressed.

of $42,532,341 over the tax of
$493, ,865,117 paid in 1880, reports

!. IS SCORED BY

BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, June 0N.S0 .
"A spirited rally in the bond mar
ket set the pace for stocks today
and another broad advance was
staged.
Yesterdays rally carried over
into the early trading. A slight
reaction occurred in the first
hour, but the advance was re-
sumed before noon with volume
showing a big increase on the up
side.
{ Gains Up to 6 Points
Gains ran from l to 6 points.
Tobacco stocks were the strong
spot with Liggett & Myers B run
ming up nearly 6 points and
American Tobacco B about 4
points. Steel was strong in the
leaders with a run-up of more
than 2 points on heavy buying.
Specialties like Auburn and
International Business Machines
displayed exceedingly thin mar
ketS and scored gains Of 2 points
and more.
Sentiment was stimulated by
the speed with which the Senate
and House conferees reached an
agreement on the tax bill.
Young Group Buying
Though no announcement was
made on formation of the bond
pool by the Owen D. Young
prosperity committee after yeSter-
days meeting, the group was
understood to have started opera
tionS.
This was responsible for sweep
ing gains in bonds with railroad
issues especially buoyant.

The Merger Moves
Senate Action Needed

Nevertheless it is step toward eliminating form of
petition which costs the District dearly.
The next step up to the Senate and it is safe to that
II merger bill passed by that body will be ina radically
different form than that which passed the House.
Whereas the House bill fails adequately to protect the
interests Of the people, the amendments which have been
offered by the majority and minority reports Of the Senate
District Committee would give the necessary protection
These proposed amendments not nsurmounte barriers
to uncation of the traction system Their adoption by
the Senate subsequent acceptance by the House would not
in all probability prevent approval Of the merger agreement
by the company stockholders.
While not placing an undue burden upon the proposed
united company they would give the public that

and not designed benefit only the holding company which
Is the controlling factor in local transportation and power
affairs
Despite the crowded legislative program of the Senate that
body should try to find time in the present session to act
finally upon the merger proposition
twenty-five years the people of the District have been
endeavorng eliminate the waste and extravaganza resulting
from competition in the transportation field.
They have carried the burden Of companies without

It is still paying the bill for and will continue to pay that

without paying least reasonable amount for preparedness

THE President is re-
l. ported in Administration
papers as fearful that the
party organization and press
have overdone his "leader-
ship" in the campaign
speech, prepared as such,
and addressed to Congress.
The party press certainly
was hysterical enough about
it. And a bit stupid, too,
in assuming that the attack
was aimed, not at Congress
as a whole, but at the Demo-
Gratis alone. Stupid, in that
nett her the Presidents
leadership" nor that of Mr..
Smell in the House was able
to prevent a vast bloc Of
Republicans from repudi-
ating their leaders. And
stupid, in that so many
Democrats in the House fol-
lowed the leaders. Stupid,
and as unfair as the cam
paign tactics Of 1928.
The hysterical outburst Of
the Administration press is
easy for the psychologist to
explain. There has been so
little occasion for shouting.
When an opportunity is Gre
ated the shouting is apt to
be a bit raucous. This psy-
Geological reaction to pain
full realities has been mani
tested, too, in the House
through the session. Demo-
Gratis have cheered Demo
cratic speakers, but at the
conclusion Of Republican
speeches the entire Repub-
lcan side of the House has
sprung to its feet and
shouted.
But the political capitali-
zation of the President s cam
paign speech has been over
done; and we are not unpre-
pared for his second thought
on the matter.

Claude G.. BOUers-

and unfair to find fault with
the Presidents sudden flare
for leadership" even
though it takes the form of
criticism and attack, rather
than of constructive recon-
mendations. Now that
leadership" is on tap, per-
haps a constructive sugges-
tion from the groundlings
would not be ungraciously
received.
One problem-for there
are many more-is the bal
ancing of the budget.
Speaker Garner made by far
the most impressive plea for
that. But the balancing OF
the budget means the levy
ing Of extraordinary taxes
at a time when the people
can least afford to bear an
added burden. Even so, the
budget must be balanced.
The problem lies in the fix
ing of the burden-and the
Senate is about to have its
fling at that.
It would be real leader
ship were the President to
send another message to the
Congress calling attention
to the notorious failure of
the "noble experiment" an
nouncing his own change of
heart, and recommending a
measure permitting light
wines and beer-and taxes
on the traffic.
That would lift an enor-
nous burden from lawful
business enterprise and
small individual incomes
and transfer it to the most
lucrative business, though
now an outlaw, in America
today.
And since the President is
preparing to run on a refer
endum platform and make
his party's campaign as a
wet in New York. Illinois,
Pennsylvania and Massachu-
setts, it would be convincing
proof Of the actuality of his
conversion.

Holds Olive Branch
Out to Congress

In a message to the Ameri-
can people the President
holds forth an olive branch
to Congress. He diverts his
criticism from that body to
another, with which we have
been very familiar ever
since his Inauguration. This
criticism is we'll aimed-and
this is what it says:
1T is an issue between
the people and the locust
swarm of lobbyists who
haunt the halls of Congress
seeking selfish privilege
for special groups and Sec
tions of the country, mis-
leading members as to the
real views of the people by
showers of propaganda.
We can heartily subscribe
to any attack upon these
highly organized, and some
times, highly financed lob
bies. But we can recall a
time when this protest of
the President would have
been of enormous benefit to
the people and possibly
have saved our foreign trade
from the wreckage, which
has cost us billions.
When tn e intolerable
Smoot Hawley tariff bill
popularity known as the
Grundy tariff in recognition
of the part played by that
incompatible lobbyist in
forcing it upon a reluctant
Congress, over the protest
of the major part of the
people, was up, a great pub
lie service would have been
rendered had Mr.. Hoover in
a messgae to the people
have said:
1T is an issue between
the people and the locust
swarm of lobbyists who
haunt the halls of Con-
gress."
But unhappily for Ameri-
can industry and trade, the
President at that time was
aligned in sympathy on the
side of "the locust swarm of
LOBBYISTS.
