POLICY
WINS SUPPORT

LONDON, Aug. 4.-President
Roosevelt's refusal to stabilize the
dollar was emphatically upheld
by the Midland Banks monthly
review in an article reflecting the
inflationist views of the banks
chairman, Reginald McKenna.
The review declares Mr.. Roose-
velt is completely right in shap-
ing his policy with an eye to the
dollars internal value instead of
to its exchange rate. 1t con-
tinueS:
eve regard as one Of the
major benefits Of the crisis

good resuItS-that a stateman
of Mr.. ROOsevelt'S standing and
power should have brought the
world nearer to true prosperity

operations credited to earned sur
plus as $3.50, ,754.56, after charging

This was at the annual rate
Of 30 cents per share on the

The substantial improvement in
general business conditions has
been quickly reflected in the earn

the month of June was larger

tember 1881, with net income on
outstanding common stock at the
annual rate Of $154 per share.
This was higher than for any one

Drastic cExchangeRules
Crimp Stock Gambler

NEW YORK, Aug. 3 0N.S0.
Striking at margin players"
pools and syndicates, the most
drastic regulations in its history,
designed to check unbridled
speculation and end Irregular
tiles, went into effect today on
the New York Stock Exchange.
The regulations were adopted
"in the public interest" Rich
ard Whitney, president Of the
exchange, announced.
Minimum Margin 30 Per Cent
One of the far-reaching steps
is the imposition of a minimum
margin rule requiring 80 per cent
on debit balances above $4,000
and so per cent on debit bal
ances of $4,000 or less. The
latter rule will hit small specu-
lators.
Extra margins will be required
on all short positions and low
priced or inactive stocks.
Under the new regulations any
customers man is forbidden to
offer securities to persons in
their homes or to solicit margin
accounts from the public in
homes, payment or expenses by
customers men for entertainment
of customers is prohibited.
Clean Up Customers Men
Elimination of undesirables
from customers men will be
sought by fixing substantial
minimum salaries" at $50 week
for customers men in cities of
400, 900 or more and $40 a week
elsewhere. This applies only to
new employees.
To check up on pools, the
exchange ordered all members to
report weekly "all pools, Syndicates
and joint accounts trading IN
listed securities and also the ex-
istence of any options relating to
listed securities"

FUTURES TURN
EASY IN GRAIN
MARKETS

CHICAGO, Aug. 3 Q.N.S)-
Grains displayed an easy UNDER
tone during most Of the forenoon,
reflecting chiefly the failure Of
anything definite to materialize
regarding initiation which had
been rumored yesterday. Reports
of cooler weather throughout the
spring wheat territory helped un-
settle the markets.
Rally Sh0rt-Lived
Wheat opened 9s to 174c lower,
recovered to previous closing
levels on scattered buying only
to again work lower.
Near noon wheat was 70 to Nc
lower, corn 13s to 17sc down, oats
l to 1Ac lower and rye ur1-
changed to 12c lower.
Liverpool wheat was 1s to Ad
lower, Winnipeg "a to 3sc higher
on latesh quotes.
Corn was freely offered here.
Favorable rains were reported in
sections Of The Belt. Aggregate
corn production this year, accord
ing to a private estimate, in pro-
portion to the population of the
United States, will be the smallest
on record since 1866.
Winnipeg Follows Suit
The Winnipeg market was
sharply higher early on buying
induced by an estimated reduce
tion of 81 per cent in Canadian
Seded acreage. The market, how
ever, reacted in sympathy with
Chicago.

Of good repute. They have reduced
their prices In accord with curtailed
production costs and In many cases
their products are on . level with or
ct least only . few pennies more than
those offered by inferior firms. They
have kept their regulations unblem-
ishsd and now they stand to profit
BY their integrity in the face Of pres
sure.
People are again taking note Of who
makes IN article. Of whether or not
the manufacturer or the merchant
has sufficient confidence in 1t to tell
them about it publicly. They are
again remembering that not all goods
profit by advertising, that the quick
est way to kill an inferior product Is
to give 1t a trade name and tell the
public about 1t, just as the surest and
quickest way to create demand for q
worthy article in this same process.
The need for thrift still prevails.
No one Is going to ignore price and

factor in determining purchases. But
It will not be an all-deciding one as
It has been in the last two years.
