D. c. CLEAR|NGS
DIP IN MONTH

In the face Of generally higher
bank clearings throughout the
country, check payments here in
August were lower than for July,
according to figures made avail
able yesterday by the Washing
ton Clearing House Association.
They also fell below the total
for August, 1882.
Checks cleared here in August
amounted to $45, ,4O5 ,937.77, com.
pared with an aggregate sum Of
$68, ,619 so in August last year
and $51,328,196 in July Of the
present year.
Clearings for the first eight
months of 1888 amounted to
$389, ,859,969.91, in comparison
with 1864, ,352,854.7 in the CORE
spending eights of 1882. Part of
this decline is, of course, due to
the fact that in March all banks
were closed during the national
bank moratorium.

NITROGEN LEAD
LOST To CHILE

Supremacy in the world nitro
gen market has been definitely
won by the synthetic industry,
and a price war would only re-
suit in fresh disaster for Chile,
Industrial and Engineering Chem
istry, journal of the American
Chemical Society, declares in its
September issue. DR.. Harrison E.
Howe writes:
'1t is small wonder that
Chile is well night desperate.
Prior to 1914 she produced more
than 60 per cent Of the nitro
gen consumed in the world.
This had dropped to 1854 per
cent by 1924, fell to 9.6 per
cent in the fertilizer year 1881
81, and will be still lower dur
ing the current year"
The annual producing capacity
for fixed nitrogen in the world
exclusive of Chile he estimates
at 100000 metric tons of pure
nitrogen, while the maximum
world consumption including
Chilean nitrate was 1,950,000
tons of pure nitrogen in the
1929-30 year.

Wool Goods Market
Moderately ActiUe

NEW YORK, Sept. 1. G.N.SO.
Wool goods markets were mode
rately active during the past
week, according to the New York
Wool Top Exchange service. In
contrast to the hesitancy in
wholesale markets, reports from a
number of retail clothing centers
indicate that retail stores are
rapidly disposing of stocks and
will soon be in the market for
new supplies.
It is estimated that sales of
clothing to date are IS to 40 per
cent ahead Of last year and that
this gain will become more notice
able as cool weather forces con-
sumers into thinking Of fall and
winter wardrobes.

Strength In Oil Shares
Is Market Feature

Gold mining and the other
metal shares enjoyed a brief
furry around the noon hour with
Alaska Juneau gaining nearly a
point and Homestake coming
within a point Of its all time high.
Profit taking developed on the
bulge and gains were pared
down.
New York Central gave an un-
distinguished performance along
with the other rail shares in
cluding Atchison, Union Pacific,
Lackawanna, and Southern Pa
cific all of which held slightly
under yesterdays closings.
The leading industrial shares
including United States Steel,
Bethlehem, Union Carbide, Air
Reduction and others in the
same category were dull and
tended toward heaviness.
Repeal Stocks Steady
Liquor shares were steady and
slightly higher. The stronger
tone here, though, was due more
to a lack of pressure than to any
aggressive sponsorship for the
advance.
Consolidated Gas turned weak
in the utility group bringing sym
pathetic weakness into Columbis

DULLNESS

NEW YORK, Sept. 1 G.Ns1,
Curb stocks drifted about list
1eSsly in Enthusiastically dull
preholiday trading today.
Traders were disposed to light
en- holdings, thus making for the
preponderance of declines in evi-
dence through most Of the ses-
sion.
Utilities beat a narrow path
and oils lost the buoyancy so
pronounced yesterday. Alcohol
shares were slightly easier.
Speculative interest was absent
in the speciality section. Gold
shares did little. Atlas Corpora
ton edged among the investment
trusts, while Cities Service COM
mon slipped back.
Curb bonds were heavy, with
further pressure on speculative
utility loans.

This year the oyster ar

part in unemployment in a
big way. The first battalion
of an army estimated at
about 10000 men started to
work today to harvest the
1888 crop of oysters, accord
ing to william H. Raye, pres
ident of BIuepoints, Inc..
General Foods subsidiary.
OF this total, about $4,000
are year-'rOund workers, so
that about 10000 additional

entire forenoon totaled only $780,
600 shares.
Shares In Furry
Strength in the oil shares was
apparently based on such results
as were expected to accrue to the
industry under the NRA code
regulating it. Amerada was again
a feature, getting up to 461a for
a new all-time high price. Con-
tinental Oil, Consolidated Oil and
the other issues in the group
also scored moderate gains.

DEALINGS

NEW YORK, Sept. / U.NS).
Cotton futures maintained q
steady tone today, with prices,
about in line with the previous
close.
A fair demand from the trade
and Wall Street offset scattered
selling by the South and houses
that generally do business for the
Continent. =:
Traders Very Cautious .
New Orleans took a few con-
tracts from the ring, while brokers
with Far Eastern connections sold.
Trading was exceedingly quiet
as holders of cotton were fearful
of liquidating their holdings lest
the Administration at Washing
ton pick the long holiday week
end to make public some new
course of constructive action.
On the other hand, many cot
ton men, even those who are
bulliSh on the market, do not feel
that there is any need for rush.,
ing to buy at the moment.

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, Sept. (I.N.s).-Con-
tinued quietness of the coarse yarn
cloths market today brought an easier
tone to print cloths as sellers COM
peted for the very meagre business.
This condition caused a number of
buyers to withhold purchases in the
fear Of further weakness. Prices were
definitely down far enough to carry
a loss to mills unless they had very
cheap cotton in their possession.
In view of this situation, it was felt
the declining trend than has been ap-
parent thus far this week.
