Many Small Shifts
In Chemical Prices

Price changes in the markets
for heavy and fine chemicals in
the past week were practically all
reflections Of changes in the re-
lations of supply and demand,
says the Oil, Paint and Drug Re-
porter. They we're not so i'm
portant as they were numerous,
and they were fairly evenly di-
vided between advances and re-
ductions, the pharmaceutical group
being slightly lower.
Demand for industrial chem
icals was very light, but scant
stocks maintained prices. Scarcity
of raw material kept the coaltar
products market firm in dullness.
The Reporters composite index
number for prices of heavy and
fine chemicals was unchanged, for
the fourth consecutive week.

COTTON PRICES
HIGHER AND
STEADY

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 Q.N.S).
Cotton futures displayed a steady
tone today with the run of con-
tracts a little above previous clos
ing levels.
Routine Price Fixing
Routine price-fixing orders by
the trade and some buying by
Liverpool, the continent and COM
mission houses more than offset a
limited amount Of hedge and
Southern selling at the opening.
Lack of support by the trade
in subsequent dealings, however,
caused the market to recede from
the opening levels. Trading was
quiet with turnover small.
Favorable weather conditions
were the general rule in the cot
ton belt over the weekend al
though the western belt remained
in need Of rain. There we're a
few light showers in the section
bordering on the Atlantic Coast.
Japanese Exports Dip
japanese exports of cotton fell
off somewhat during the past few
months. according to the New
York Cotton Exchange service,
but they are still above the aver
age level of recent seasons.
Midday prices were up l to 3
points with October up, 3 at 9.43,
December up 2 at 9.63. January
up l at 9.75 and March up 2

CANADA PUSHES
HARVESTING

Harvesting is under way in
the prairie provinces, while
threshing is fairly general in
Manitoba and has begun in south
ern Saskatchewan, says the Bank
of Montreal in its weekly crop
report. Conditions continue IA
vorable in the northern area, ex-
cept in Saskatchewan.
The southern and central areas
of the provinces are still suffer-
ing from drought and grasshop-
pers, while frosts have caused
further damage in Alberta and
SaWflies are destructive in Sec
tions of Saskatchewan. There
will be a serious feed shortage
over an area of 1000 square miles
or more in southwest Manitoba,
where the crop is a total failure.
In Quebec, harvesting Of oats
and barley, begun in some of the
earlier districts, indicate yields
somewhat under average. In On
tario, threshing returns confirm
an average yield of fall wheat of
good quality, but spring wheat.
barley and oats will return light
crops.
In the maritime provinces all
crops are badly in need of rain,
lack of which has already had
a detrimental effect. In British
Columbia, grain harvesting has
begun with prospects of an aver
age yield Other crops are ripen-
ing rapidly in hot, dry weather.

Stock Rise Seen Only
IF Initiation Comes

and cotton Slumping, while the
prices of manufactured products
rise and living costs mount
higher. What must a politician,
with the power to touch off an
inflationary rise in prices, do?
Can he help but apply the match?
This is the way Wall Street
reasons. Accordingly there is
little disposition to liquidate
holdings, and there has been a
tendency to buy on recessions.
The general idea is that latter
Labor Day" the rise of last May
and June will be renewed.
Market letter writer's are almost
unanimously bullish, and gen.
orally, assert that base is being
laid for the fall rise.
Best to Play Safe
There is some sense in all this.
One would certainly figure it to
be the probability. Yet one dis
turbing thought is that the stock
rarely does what every
body expects. And another ques-
tion is suggested by the thought
that the market may have ex-
hausted the initiation factor and
have discounted the rise based
upon it.
I don't know. No one can know.
But it seems unwise to be too
sure about the matter.
If an early rise in the market
were sure, the market would have
been rising by this time, simply
because traders do not wait for a
sure thing to happen.

Insurance Head Sees
Encouraging Signs

CHICAGO, Aug. 21.-Encourag-
ing evidence of recovery in the
general economic situation of the
country is appearing in various
forms, M. A. Linton, president Of
the Provident Mutual Life InSur-
ance Company, told agents Of
the company today in the opening
session of their annual conven-
ton here.
Market values of securities
owed by the company have shown
an encouraging increase in recent
months, Mr.. Linton stated.
Whereas market values a year
ago represented a depreciation Of
1873 per cent of the book values,
present market values represent
a depreciation of only 6.8 per
cent.

RAIL FINANCING
WAYS EASED

The way has been opened for
the railroads of the country to re-
place their worn-out locomotives
with new ones by paying as little
as 10 per cent of the purchase
price. j. H. Lewis, of Goodbody &
Co.. points out in a current di-
gest of the locomotive industry.
Material savings are possible
not only in fuel consumption but
in repairs in the newer type loco
motives. but many of the carriers
have not taken advantage of these
savings because of the difficulty
of financing their purchases. This
difficulty, Mr.. Lewis explains, is
removed to considerable extent at
the present time.
Under t he National Recovery
Act, he says, loans are authorized
to carriers desiring to purchase
new equipment. Another financ-
ing medium is available through
the Railroad Equipment Financ-
ing Corporation, which was formed
late in 1882.

NEW YORK, Aug. 81 Q.N.S).
The curb market inaugurated a
new forward move today, with
aggressive bullish operations in
repeal issues buoying the list as
q whole.
Demand for the alcohol group
was influenced by the favorable
Missouri vote and prospects that
repeal would be definitely won
over by early November.
A few specialties ran up sharply.
