products was downward near the middle
Of August, according to the United
States Department Of Agriculture re-
port.
The main exception was the live stock
market, which strengthened with cooler
weather and rather moderate supplies
Prices OF fat lambs advanced sharply
although gains were not fully main
tained. Wool markets held firm
Cotton declined because of good yields
expected in the remaining acreage and
grain markets felt the effect of large
holdings and somewhat better crop
conditions. Many Of the millfeeds de-
clined moderately during the first hall
Of August because OF cheaper grain and
light demand from feeders.
Butter and cheese prices continued
weak, owing to well-sustained produc-
ton for the time of year and limited
demand. Eggs and poultry show little
change in the general price level. the
supply being moderate and the demand
fairly active. Prices of fruits and vege-
tables are irregular Peaches are In
lighter supply and higher. Eastern
apples hold values firmly compared
with Western fruits, but the genera
range remains fairly steady. Potatoe:
sold a little below the level of early
August. although shipments and pro-
duction are light. Onions. lettuce ano

explained that the order just executed

The broker Immediately walked out

so reported to the brokerage Office
After the market had closed and the
Office started to work on the days

This was due to the original mistake
of selling 200 instead Of buying that

purchased 400 shares, 200 for the GUS

NEW YORK. August 15.-What ef-
feet will the national recovery codes
have on the public utilities? Many
statisttcians were asking that question
in Wall Street today. The query re-
suited from individual findings by these
statisticians over the week end in their
respective communities
One radio store. not a large estab-
lishment as such places go. found that
under the N. r. A. it will have to close
at least two nights a week. 1t did
so last week. The proprietor figures
that the saving made those two nights
on electricity bills will cut his monthly
charges about $50.
OF course. some stores will close,
but amusement places will be filled as
a result of more jobs and fatter pay
envelopes, and the average theater or
other amusement palace usually uses
more electricity than the average store.
Several Of the prominent hackers OF

New York Stock Exchange were in a
communicative mood today and de-
clared that efficient employees and

sonnel. pays in the long run In banking
