COTTON MOVES
UP ONFEWER
OFFERINGS

NEW YORK, Feb. Is GN.SO.
Cotton futures displayed an i'm.
proved tone today with the run
of contracts advancing moder.
ately above previous closing
levels.
There was a marked let,up in
selling pressure. The coopera-
tive brokers, whose selling had
formed major influence in yes
terday's setback, we're doing prac-
tically nothing.
Light offerings from the South
and New Orleans we're absorbed
by a moderate demand for con-
tracts from Wall Street and com.
mission houses in the distant
months.
At midday prices were up to
7 points, with March up S at
SGT. May up 7 at Gil, July up
5 at 6.2l. october up 5 at Sal
and December I'D 6 at 6.54.

FAILURES SHOW
SHARP DROP

Failures during the week ending
February 9, Bradstreet's Weekly
reports numbered 500 or So less
than in the week before. A drop
is usual at this time, as normal is
again approached following the
the first-of-the-year squirt, but the
stride made in this direction dur
ing the latest week of greater
than seasonal proportions.
AS a result the weekly failure in
dex fell sharply from 1905 to 110.8
per cent of the 1928-30 average.
With but one exception. this is the
lowest point at which it has stood
this year. 1t compares with a fig
ure for a year ago of 1857.
Particularly encouraging was
the decline in the number of large
failures. These had been moving
upward rather rapidly for several
weeks, but the trend was reversed
when only 50 concerns capitalized
at over $4,000 were reported. In
the preceding week the total was
105. The adjusted index for this
group receded to 1914 from zoos,
while a year ago it stood at 214.9.

NEW YORK, Feb. Is G.N.S0.
The stock market Steadied today
after yesterdays weakness on the
Michigan banking holiday. More
encouraging advices from Detroit,
Wall Streets approval of the ma
tional transportation committee
rail report better business Stats
tics an strength in commodities
brought a better feeling.
Rallies Held in Check
Rallying tendencies were held
in che *, however. by renewed
weakness in the tobaccos. Un-
favorable earnings forecasts as a
result of the two cigarette price
cuts this year brought heavy
selling into the group with losses
running to more than a point.
The rest of the market held
well, however, and ignored the
break in this group. Rails tended
higher, led by New York Central
and Pennsylvania, and this was
a steadying influence.
Steel stocks were aided by the
Improvement in the industry's
operations for the week. Ameri-
can Telephone was firm awaiting
the outcome of today's dividend
meeting. Other leading stocks
were steady.
Motors Improved
Motor shares showed relief
from yesterdays heavy liquidation

NEW YORK. Feb. IS G.N.SO.
A loss of $11,011, 300 in gold by
this country through earmarkings
by foreign central banks yester-
day was revealed by the Federal
Reserve Bank today.
This brought the total loss
through earmarkings since the
first of the year to $79,273,2OO.
AS a result of yesterdays bank
ing news and the general decline
in the stock, bond and commo-
dity markets, the dollar was easy
against the major foreign cur
rencies.
While the pound lost fraction
ally at $343 Ills, the franc,

IN BEST
GAIN Of YEAR

NEW YORK, Feb. IS. Q.N.S.D
The most definite improvement
in steel business apart from auto
mobile requirements thus far in
the new year has developed
within the past week, and ingot
output for the country has ad-
vanced to an average of 20 per
cent, the highest level of the
year, the Iron Age Review points
out today.
The principal factor in the up
turn has been a loosening up of
automobile tonnage with the re-
lease of steel for 10000 cars by
the Ford Motor Company, and
the settlement of the strike at
the body plant of the Hudson
Motor Car Company.
Chicago mills have had the
best weeks business in several
months, while inquiries have also
gained, foreshadowing an early
increase in ingot production,
which remains this week at 18
per cent. Orders have gained
moderately at Pittsburgh and
Cleveland.
The Iron Age composite prices
are unchanged this week at
1926 pound for finished steel,
$13.56 a gross ton for pig iron
and $6.83 a gross ton for heavy
steel scrap.

More Financing Due
BY Common Stocks

Common stocks will play an
increasingly important part in
the industrial financing of
America, according to Benjamin
F.. Castle, vice president of Ad-
ministrative and Research Cor
poration, New York, who re-
Gently completed a study of the
trends in financing.
Mr.. Castle bases his opinion
on three modern developments
the more effective use of capi-
tai or, putting it another way,
more rapid capital turnover; the
creation of excess capital by
industry, itself, and an increaS-
ingly popular policy among
managementS of avoiding funded
debt.

The condition of the mortgaged
farmer can be overcome in only one of
two ways TOR by both ways operating at
the same time)-either the price of
wheat must go up or the amount of
the debt must be reduced.
This Is the condition which is at
tempted to be met by scores of measures
proposed in this session of Congress.
This condition, in sort, underlies lit
orally almost everything Congress at
tempts to think about.
The measures designed to handle this
situation directly fall into two groups.
They are: First, measures designed to
increase the price Of wheat through
what Is called imitation" of the cur
rency and. second, measures designed
to reduce the amount of the debt.
Between these two paths of effort
financial communities in New York
and Europe seem to have concluded that
the more likely path to be followed is
imitation. To Washington this does not
seem to be so. Nevertheless, for the
past 10 days or two weeks there has
been a prevailing tendency upon the
part Of financial communities and mar
kets to 60 along lines Of action which
assume that some time In the fairly
near future there will be some degree
or other Of imitation Of currency. Since

and paced the room. He took my arm
and led me to map. He explained
the details of the military organization

for granted he started for the door, and
showed me the barracks rooms, the

clean and airy. The men had comfort
able hunks. AS we entered each room
the first soldier to spot Heines called
those in the room to attention and gave

snappy and spontaneous.
It would be difficult to exaggerate
the "Heil Hitlers." The salutation has
become q mania, an obession and in
vocation. Each soldier we passed, even
in the corridors. gave us Hell Hitler"
Whenever I was introduced to q NaZi
whether he was In uniform or in multi.
he performed the Hell Hitler" ritual
before shaking hands. Later I discov-
cred that NaziS end their letters, even
those written to non-Nazis, with this
greeting. Telephone conversations are
similarly concluded. Woman sympa-
thizers repeat it. Workers tilling the
fields shout it when a car with Nazis
in uniform whizzes by. The occupants
Of the car meticulously return 1t. The
repetition soon becomes monotonous,
but the fervor with which It iS>given
is genuine and effective.
Having invited me to Breslau, Grup-
penfuhrer Heines apparently had de-
cided to turn his organization inside out
for my benefit, and so had a unique
opportunity to see how the Nazi mill
tary machine operates; to observe their
youth-training camp; to witness ma
neuvers and a review. and to study this
amazing and almozt fanatical move

Heines burst into the room.
"Ah, looking at my police wagon"
he calculated do you want to see
how fast it can be loaded?"
1t Is not Heines' habit to wait for
answers. Leaning out of the window he
blew q shriu blast from his whistle and
gave q clipped order. Before I could

van the sides had been dropped. 40
men had scrambled In and the sides
raised again.
