CONEY ISLAND.-I'm waiter in
Feltman's. Last Saturday, August 2,
q brutal attack was made on a wait
err at Feltman's by the house detec-
tive and two of the private police
men.
This waiter wanted TO work and
the head waiter told him to go home
Being Saturday. the only day we
can make a few cents, he gave the
head waiter an argument, and told
the head waiter why he could not
work-because he hadn't given him a
present like the other walters do-so
for that this man, called Bully
had him beaten up.

Security Mart Buoyed
By Hope, Haney Says

Last weeks dull performance
resulted in net loss Of about one
point. No progress has been made
now for two weeks, or since the
bond market began to rally.
The total volume of trading is
also small Such volume as there
is has tended to increase with the
selling, and the extreme dullness
on the littly rally Thursday and
Friday is to be noted. Scattered
liquidation is suggested.
Trading Range Narrow
I note that on Saturday, 43 per
cent of the trading was in IS
stocks, which is the heaviest con-
centration of the activity since
the Kruger and Toll liquidation
last January. The three most
active issues were Commonwealth
and Southern Producers and Re-
finer1. and Grigsby Grunow-all
low priced "cats and dogs" Five
of the Is were utilities, all selling
lower.
If during the past two weeks
you had each day bought the
20 most active stocks, and sold
them the next day, you would
have made nothing, and would
have lost your commissions.
On the other hand, selling pres
sure mas not been heavy. Since
October %, each dip in the aver
ages has been stopped a little
above the preceding dip. So, while
the rise has been checked, one
can't say that any downward
trend has set in.
Since fundamental uncertainties
exist, all one can do is to watch
them"
Sings to Watch
II the volume rises above some
thing like 100000 shares, while
the averages first squirt up and
then close near the low of the
day, a sizeable little reaction
would be likely to follow.
But if today there were a
fairly sharp decline of about two
points in the average, with the
volume. not rising much above
100000 shares, it would prob
ably be only another one OF
those one-day markdoWns.
There are two lower levels
to watch: The first is last
Tuesdays low. If that should
be broken by the closing price
the averages would probably
next test the November Is
level. These two levels for key
stocks are: Steel, 43-4OA; Can
95-91; du Pont, 1890; Telephone
117-112 October resistance).
At present most important
stocks are just about two points
above lower levels.

WORLD COTTON
USE At PEAK

The world used more bales Of
all groWths of cotton in October
this year than in any correspond
ing month since 1929, according
to the New York Cotton Exchange
Service. Consumption increased
from September to October, in
somewhat less than the normal
seasonal tendency.
During October, world spinners
used 2,128,0O0 bales of American
and foreign cottons as against
2,O88,000 in September and q
O78,OOO in October last year. The
increase from September to Oc-
tober was 1.9 percent as COM
pared with an average increase
from September to October in the
past five years of 9.3 per cent.
During the first quarter of the
current cotton season, from AL
gust l to October 81, spinners of
the world consumed more cotton
than in any corresponding three
month period since the 1929-3O
season. Their three months con
sumption totaled 6,391 900 bales.
comparing with 1856, 900 in the
corresponding period last season
and 5,788,O0O two seasons ago.
World stock of all kinds of
cotton in all hands in the world
on October 81, including the es-
timated unpicked portions of new
crops, totaled approximately "a

Taxation of motor trucks and

COTTON STEADY.
At NEAR OLD
LEVELS

NEW YORK, Dec. S G.N.S0. .
Cotton futures maintained a
steady tone throughout the fore
noon today. prices holding within
a few points of the previous clos
ing levels.
The South, New Orleans and
spot interests were on the selling
side with scattered hedge offer
ings adding to the supply of con-
tracts.
Support From Trade
Trade purchases offered the
principal source of support with
Wall Street and professionals
buying in a small way.
Traders felt that spectators
were waiting for the December 8
Government crop estimate before
making commitments.
Southern reports to spot in
terests indicated that picking
was practically over and that rel
atively little cotton remained to
be ginned.
Weather ShOwery
The weather map showed fair
to partly cloudy in the East fol
lowing light rains, fair to cloudy
in the central belt with showers
in the Eastern and Southern por-
tions, and partly cloudy to cloudy
in the West with a few light and
widely scattered showers.

With exception Of the pre-

repeal and dollar manipulation be-
gin working smoothly they may
have effect. Then there might
be a SpErt of business which
would bring the cheaper dollar
into play and thus produce an
effective initiation.
AS yet, these various elements
have been so uncoordinated, and
so full of uncertainties and con-
flicting tendencies, that they have
not clicked.
But some day it might happen
that liquor taxes might bolster
the credit of the Government
sufficient to allow it to borrow
and spend so much on public
works and relief, that enough de-
preciated currency would be put
into circulation to force prices up.
1t is this possibility of a specu-
lative ride which keeps stocks up.
Otherwise, the market would
probably be working lower. There
is little sponsorship. The short
interest is small. Some tax loss
selling is taking place.
Business Prospect Doubtful
Furthermore, business prospects
are none too good as is demon
strated by the backwardness of
retail trade and railway car load
ings. Domestic commodity prices
have failed thus far to respond to
the manipulation of the dollar in
foreign exchange.
So the market is marking time
waiting for the stimulating ele-
mentS in the administrations
schemes to rise above the de-
pressing elements.
