CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK Aug. 21 U.N.S1.-The
coarse yarn cloths market displayed
More evidence of stability today than
at any time since the Inauguration of
the national recovery administration.
First hands once again seemed to have
a Fold on the market as resale goods
had been almost entirely liquidated in
the preceding week.
A large group of Mills continued to
9emain out of the market, following
course they set a week ago. They had
no prices to offer but this did not close
all avenues of supply for intended
buyers.
Another meeting Is scheduled for to-
day or tomorrow to decide whether the
condition of the market justifes a con-
SinuatOn of the withdrawal policy.

at 52,750,O0O short tons, a drop
Of only Al per cent.

BEER PLANS OF AUTO
CONCERN ARE HALTED

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. November 27.-The
Peerless Corporation, a pioneer in the
automobile manufacturing industry, has
encountered a snag in its plans to in
, wade the beer brewing field. it was
indicated in Wall Street today
Several months ago Peerless gave
notice of its intention to turn from
motor manufacturing to the brewery
business. To obtain necessary financ-
ing the company offered stockholders
new shares. the offering being under
written by the New York Stock Ex-
change firm of Remond & Co.
It was disclosed today by the stock
exchange and Remond & Co. that the
latter, on the advise of counsel, had
declined to accept 92,07l shares OF
Peerless stock under the underwriting
agreement on the ground that the
the corporation itself has no power to
engage in the brewery business and
that it is therefore beyond its corpo-
rate powers to raise funds by the issue
OF additional stock for the purpose of
financing a wholly subsidiary
corporation engaged in that business"
The Peerless Corporation informed
the stock exchange that its own counsel
believed the company was free to. enter
the new field without violation of its
Charter.

Intent Of Congress.
In answer to the objection that the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation has
power to issue its obligations only for
the pur pose OF using the proceeds for
its normal functions q. e., making
loans, purchasing preferred stock, etc. q.
it may be said that there is nothing
in the legislative history or in the con-
gressional debates which tend to show
that Congress desired to so restrict
the language Of section 9. In fact.

VANDALISM RAMPANT 0N LOCAL WATERFRONT,
 B0ATMEN COMPLAIN

Vandalism of nature lndlcat- ing that it is not the work of juv- enileS has become so rampant along the waterfront that boat owners are afraid to leave their craft beached overnight without the possibility of their contents being rifled, and actual vandalism being inflicted.
 One boat, on which it's owner spent many days painting and conditioning, had the drop cano- py frame split, merely for the pur- pose of taking out the screws by which it was fastened. Instead of the screws being taken out with a screwdriver, the delicate frame was split and the angle iron wrenched off.
 The result of this wanton des- truction and petty thievery is that Seward is gaining reputation far from complimentary.

 Mr. Dimond did suggest that of the complaints centered in the annual importation of Orientas to work in the fisheries No remedy exists or is available for this condition but normal pressure Since Alaska is Territory it will remain open to aliens of all nations long treaties in operation.
 Therefore the federal government is in better po- stion deal with this phase of the situation than the Territory which has no powers

AUTO STATISTICS
AGAIN TO THE FORE
Industry's Executives Will
Manifest More Than Ordi-
nary Interest.
BY the Associated Press,

|
Automobile statistics are coming to
the fore again and for the next few
weeks more than ordinary interest will
be manifest by the industry's executives
in the number Of new cars registered
the total Of used cars received by deal
ers and the graph of overseas business
The increased interest in statistics is
seasonal In the motor car industry al
this time. Figures for the second quar-
ter OF the year have come to be re-
garded as forecasting whether sales and
production for the year will show an
increase or decrease over preceding
periods.
Predictions Reserved.
Sales executives are reserved In their
predictions, but none Of them expect
the production and sales chart for
1883 TO show decrease compared with
| the preceding year. Most sales direc-
tors think 1892 represented the bot
tom Of three-year decline, So do
production chiefs.
All are convinced that, even without
q general improvement in business con.
ditions, the replacement market alone
should absorb more vehicles this year
than in 1882.
Last years total production was ap-
proximately 100000 units, with total
registration OF new cars at close to
LOO, 600 vehicles. The difference rep
reSentS perhaps the smallest aggregate
OF dealers stocks In the last decade
and half. 1t emphasizes how closely
factory production has been held to
consumer demand,
Inc 1ndustry'S executives are def
nitely determined to keep the used car
problem Is much of q minor WORRY as
possible. The problem created by the
used car long has rated as one OF the
industry's major difficulties, impairing
the 1quidity of dealers and interfering
to large extent with the distribution
Of new vehicles.
Although expecting sharp compett-
tfon between the dealers organizations
OF various companies, the industry's
heads generally believe a large part Of
the used car problem has solved itself
in the complete mechanical obsolesence
Of many vehicles.
Figures attracting the interest of the
trade along with other statistics are
those which show that over q certain
period the number Of cars scrapped has
been greater than the aggregate produc-
ton of new vehicles. Because of this
fact, the automobile men believe. the
junk heap will get in 1888 a great many
vehicles which last year and the year
before would have had a certain trade
in value.
Tariff Imposts Studied.
Tariff imposts of various foreign
countries are being studied anew by
sales directors. This division of the in
dustry has been especially hard hit dur
ing the last few years. after 1929 total
exports missed the 100000 mark by
only few units.
There will be no 1000, ,000-unit export
business in the industry for some time
to come. but increasing interest abroad
in American made vehicles is reported
by many sales executives They look
for the shipment Of greater number
OF cars for the overseas trade this year
than in 1882.
