New York Stocks
BY MAX BUCKINGHAM
United Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, Nov. q. - The stock
market underwent another dreary
session today. Trading dropped Off
and prices slowly sagged to losses
of more than points.
Lack of enthusiasm was the only
feature Overnight guesses had been
that the spirited rally in the last
hour Friday would carry over into
today's session. The guesses were
wrong.
The dollar continued easier today
and the gold price advanced 10
cents more, bringing a further re-
duction in the dollar in gold values.
But these had little effect on the
market. Commodities were steady
to easier.
Two groups managed to maintain
little strength, although there was
not much trading in them. One
was oils and the other rails. Recent
excellent earnings reports from va
riouS oil companies has brought in
terest in the oil shares and they
moved up fractionally today. STAN
dard of New Jersey was up Is at 43
while similar gains were noted in
Standard of California, Consolidat-
ed and others in group.
Rails advanced fractionally, New
York Central gaining 5-8 of a point
to 33A. Pennsylvania and Union
Pacific were unchanged
United States Steel was one of
the leaders on the down side, drop
ping off point to 40B.
Metal shares again were weak. u.
S. Smelling dropped more than a
point to under 81 and American
Smelling lost about a point to 447s
Mcintyre Porcupine lost more than
a point to 41A.
Farm equipment shares were cas-
ier with j. 1. Case off more than a
point at sc, while motor shares
showed fractional declines, Chrysler
closing around 41R.
Stock sales today totaled 100000
shares as against 376,590 shares last
Saturday. Curb sales totaled 102 600
shares as against 100000 shares last
Saturday.
Dow-Jones preliminary averages
showed: Industrial 9310, off 0.50;
railroad 1892, up 0.45; utility 23.76,
off 0.18.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4. U.P) -
The state department. it was learn
ed today, is planning to denounce

OCTOBER LEVEL Of ACTIVITY
SHOWS VISIBLE IMPROVEMENT

Uncertainty in the minds OF
business men as to the future
course of prices is an important
factor in the economic situation
in Southern California at the pres
ent time, it is shown by the month
ly summary of business conditions
released for publication today by
the Security First National Bank
of Los Angeles.
Although receding tendencies
were evident in this vicinity during
October, the general level of act
ivity remains appreciably above
that Of the first quarter of the
current year and the month of
October, 1882. A number of lines
particularly in the industrial field
have experienced increases in bust
ness during recent weeks as COM
pared with preceding months.
A marked change IN business
sentiment is now in evidence, due
apparently to the realization that
recovery is not to be achieved in a
short period of time and that
many difficult problems remain
to be solved. Buyers who rushed
TO increase their inventories a few
months ago have now returned to
a hand-to-mouth purchase basis.
On the other hand, many sellers
are unwilling to commit themselves
very far into the future. Despite
the current hesitancy in the minds
of many business men, however.
most observers feel that the under
lying forces in the present sit
uation are directly towards a
higher level of general prices.
Bank debts for the City of Los
Angeles totalled S502,811, ,463 during
October, an increase of 2.8 per cent
above the level of a year ago and
81 per cent above September. Local
steel and cement firms and other
suppliers of construction materials
and equipment are operating at
rates materially above those of last
year, due largely to the public
works projects now in progress in
this area. Further stimulus from
this source is expected by these in
dustries during the coming year.
Orders from private sources, while
above the 1882 level, are now
smaller than in the third quarter,
the business review states, continu-
ing in part as follows
Building Improving
Building activity in the City of
Los Angeles, as measured by Of
ficial data on the value of building
permits isued, was more than
twice as large in October as in
the previous month and, with the
exception of March, 1882, was the
largest for any period during the
last two years. The increase in VOL
ume was occasioned principally by
the starting of work on the new
Times building, near the civic
center, valued at $1,65O,OO0.
Imperial Valley press., 1933-11-04

Total deposits of reporting men,
ber banks in the federal reserve
system, located in Los Angeles.
increased 81 per cent between
September 81 and October 25, ac-
cording to official data. On the
latter date, deposits were 3.8 per
cent larger than on the correspond
ing day in 1892 Funds in the de-
mand classification have shown
the greatest growth, increasing AS
per cent over the four weeks per-
iod ended October 25 and 16.5 per
cent during the past year. Time
deposits have declined gradually
throughout the current year and
now stand somewhat below the to-
tai on October 26, 1882.
Although reports from observers
LOCATED throughout the Southern
California area indicate that the
legitimate demand for bank credit
remains small with most good
users of credit restricting the bor-
rowings as much as is possible, the
volume of loans, other than those
on securities, of the reporting
member banks in Los Angeles has
shown a rising tendency since the
first of this year. These loans, al
though subject to erratic fluctua-
tionS on some occasions during
the period, showed a net gain of
almost per cent between January
25 and October 25 of this year.
Rising tendencies in industrial
employment and payrolls within
Los Angeles county continued in
evidence during September. The
number of employees and the total
of weekly payrolls were increased
by ga and TT per cent, respective
ly, from the levels of August. Gains
in September over the like 1882
month, moreover, were larger than
in the previous period and amount
ed to $50 per cent in the number
employed and 14.5 per cent in pay
rolls. The average weekly earn
ings per worker were IL per cent
higher in September than in Aug
ust but still below the level of a
year ago. Among the industrial
groups reporting the largest in
creases in activity during September
were motion pictures and textiles" !"

purchasing power through increased
wages.
The automobile code declares that
employers shall so operate their
plants that the average employ
ment of all factory employees shall
not exceed 35 hours per week from
the period of the effective date to
the expiration date"
The code permits longer hours of
work during peak seasons and says:
Tn order to give to employees
such average of 35 hours per week
it will be necessary at times to op-
crate for substantially longer works,
but no employee shall be employed
for more than six days or 48 hours
in any one week, and all such cases
shall be absorbed in such average, "
To bring about this average, Ford
could have begun some weeks ago
to reduce his working week. Ap-
parently he did not choose to do so
and the excess working hours ac-
cumulated to such an extent nat
the weeks lay-off now is consider
ed necessary.
Further enlightenment of this
particular phase will be possible
when Ford files with the National
Automobile Chamber of Commerce,
November 6 or 7, reports on wages
and hours in his plant.
Some Of Fords competitors, which
have not found it necessary to use
the lay-off system in averaging
their work week, already have filed
reports in New York. A study of
these figures would show how these
plants geared themselves to the 35
hour week without the weeks lay
off
