STOCKS TURN UP ]
DESPITE SELLING
Early IrreguIarity Followed
by Stronger Trend Led by
Metal Shares.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, July 8.-Starting hesi-
tantly, tcdsy's stock market soon turned
upward under the leadership of the
metal stocks and particularly the gold
mining shares.
The first hour saw good deal Of
realizing in the general list. The steels,
the farm implement shares and the
rails were the most sensitive. but more
or less the whole list was lower. Then
demand developed for the god stocks.
volume at ad 'ances which put some of
them to tie CHEST of record.
This s.reag in the gold stocks re-
f1ected the belief that the administra-
ton at Washington would use the
powers entrusted to it by Congress to
cut the gold content of the dollar. The
President has authority to do that up
to so per cent of it's present mint par.
but there has never been any official
intimation that he proposed to use it.
Nevertheless, the steady depreciation OF
the dollar n terms of foreign gold cur
rencies suggested that such devaluation
was only logical.
Rush for Gold Stocks.
In any event there was a concerted
rush TO accumulate gold stocks. Dome
Mines was the leader, crossing 35 to
new high, followed by Alaska Juneau,
which duplicated its old high halfway
through the last hour. Mcintyre Min
ing was in active demand and Home-
stake at $50, the blue chip of the group,
was up IA points.
This demonstration brought buying in
all the metal stocks, beneiting Cerro de
Pasco. up 2 to 3 points to new peak,
and establishing new highs for Ana
conda and Kennecott
The early irregularity in the market
as a whole was explainable by the
prominence given to the warning Of
the industrial administrator that a.
larger buying power on the part of the
consumer was essential If the recovery
act was to function. His use of the
words new collapse" although quail
fed, was not calculated to encourage
bullish enthusiasm.
There were numerous exceptions
however, to the reaction. if it may be
called that. General Electric. which
had been so strong in the last half
hour Friday, was bio up again aggres-
sively to the bess of the recovery above
$50 a share. Woolworth crossed sol
for the first time and was the leader of

the largest increase for single year since 1920 and

american farms since 1880 The previous high mark in
estimated farm population was in 1910 when the
bureau credited farms with 3207696O Whether or not

lief in the State for the months of
March and April, since 1 wish it
known that l do not expect to again
convene the 104th General Assembly
in special session"
The General Assembly, however,
failed to act on legislation sponsor
ed by the administration to take
care of this anticipated deficit in
the relief funds. Senator Griffenberg
and Representative Abrahams, both
administration Republicans, offered
bills in their respective houses to
appropriate $294,00O from the gener-
al fund to the State Temporary
Relief Commission for relief work
during March and April. No action
was taken on them, however.
1t is due, primarily, to this failure
of the Legislature to act that it may
be necessary for Governor Buck to
reduce the income tax payments
holding out the hope that the saw
ings will be given toward relief.
The Governor is permitted to re-
duce the income tax, under a law
