STOCKS F|RNER
AFTER EARLY
REVERSE
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Nov. 8 UN.SJ.
The stock market took on a
firmer tone today following a
disappointing opening which was
characterized by an irregularly
lower price movement.
Liquor shares were the greatest
disappointment in the list not
only failing to respond to the rati-
fication of the repeal amendment
but actually losing ground.
United Air at Peak
Among speciality issues United
Aircraft was the outstanding
strong spot reaching a new high
on the movement and bringing
sympathetic strength into the
other aviation issues notably
Sperry Corporation.
Railroad shares, after showing
q slightly reactionary tone at the
start firmed up slightly and New
York Central, LacSawanna, South
ern Railway and several other OF
the 1--we" priced issues ruled
arou'' their previous closing
levels.
Utilities Stronger
Utility shares showed a stronger
tone on the basis of the various
municipal referendumS on public
ownership. Notable strong spots
were North American, Stone and
Webster, and American Water
Works.
The dollar continued to tumble
0s the British pound sterling
scared to a new high and the
r. F. C. boosted the price of gold
to above $33 an ounce.

NEW YORK, Nov. GN.SJ.
The markets back in the doldrums
again, but Wall Street is still
hopeful.
Mondays session meant little
either way. Trading was the
quietest in months and price
changes we're of no consequences.
The hope is that stocks VII:
break out decisively in the next
few days.
Reports from up bay State

facture of toys, and that thous.

this year Germany used to get

NEW YORK Nov. s GN.SD.-The
coarse yarn cloths market continued
quiet today but prices were generally
unchanged. Some print cloths were
availab BILE in limited sources al ConCes-
Sions for spot shipment. but buyers
showed little interest.
Reports indicated that mills generally
were sold six weeks ahead on the aver
age, and that many were sold we'll into

enclined to take on further commit
nents in view of the uncertainties out
side speculative markets and in the
financial situation generally.

ton stocks"-have sagged.
This is the result of the
thought of possible monetary
"stabilization." The Governments
financing problem and the be-
lated outburst of a sound money"
movement, are the causes.
But there can be no sustained
general move in stocks until we
know the outcome. AS long as
monetary uncertainty prevails,
hopes and fears will be mixed
and some stocks will 60 up, while
others will go down.
At present We do not know
whether we are going to have in.
flation or not. We do not know
whether the dollar is to be deval-
ued or not, and if so, how great
the devaluatiOn would be. So the
two classes of stocks tend to fluc-
tuate in opposite directions.

COTTON PRICES
FIRM AND Up
SLIGHTLY

NEW YORK, Nov. % GNS).
A Scent boost in the r. F. C.'s
gold price and resultant rallies in
sterling and francs against the
the dollar influenced a firm tone
in cotton futures today.
Trade Demand Good
There was a good demand for
the trade, Wall Street, Liverpool
and outside speculative interests
with the South and spot houses
supplying most of the contracts.
December liquidation in evidence
at the opening dried up shortly
after the finish Of the call.
The market lacked important
outside developments. The de-
mand for spots continued good in
the South, but the high basis was
a restraining factor in the con-
summation of sales. The Govern
ment was getting some cotton on
it's loan plan, but most farmers
were content to await develop
ments before so committing them,
selves.
Cloth Markets Quiet
Quiet conditions ruled in Worth
Street where little has been done
since the last previous advance In
the gold price. Manchester re
ported scattered inquiry and
rather confused feelings.
Midday prices were up 10 to II
points, with January UP 10 at 9s81
March up II at 9.97, May up IL at

There was no great enthusiasm

Just Maintain Positions
Would-be sellers decided to
maintain their positions for a

resumption Of the inflationary
program would bring about a
worthwhile rally.
Alcohols continued to show a
strong tone, with Hiram Walker

Seagrams and DistillerS, Ltd,

Metal shares rallied somewhat.

Utilities were improved, with
the exception of Commonwealth

Compromise Predicted
On Gold in Dollar

The latter group has always
won in our past, but conditions
are now different in some re-
spects.
In the first place, we have
formally gone off the gold stand
ard and repudiated promises to
pay bonds in gold. Thus there
is no simple issue of returning
to the original gold dollar, as we
did in 1879. The whole issue of
"devaluation" is raised, and is a
new one for us.
In other words, we are now
dOubly uncertain. (D We are
uncertain about A gold standard.
~ We are uncertain about THE
gold standard; that is, even If
we 60 back to gold, we don't
know how much gold there would
be in the standard dollar. We
now have schemes for managed
currency" and Commodity dol
lars" for the first time in our
history.
In the second place, the
money question is now all mixed
up with the problem Of emer.
gency relief" and with sweeping
social reforms" Initiation is
now tied in with schemes to
"socialize losses" Tighten debt
burdens" and "readjust, wealth.
and the problem Of Government
debt on account of huge relief
expenditures is involved.
Issue Made Difficult
All this makes the issue more
difficult to settle. The result is
more uncertain.
To me it seems that eventually
we must return to a gold stand
ard, but probably with less gold
in the standard dollar. Thai
would be sort of compromise
Gold metal would then be JUS
about as valuable as now, anc
prices measured in old gold dol
lars about the same. But thu
same supply of gold metal woule
make more dollars, and thai
would tend to make prices,
measured in the small gold dol
lars, somewhat higher. THAI
would be the result when bust
