Time went on, week after week
passed, it became a month and then
longer. The nights were growing
cool. men in the parks were sheltered
with papers their hats pulled down
to conceal their faces.
Not one word had come from Mark.
He seemed to have left no traces
Janet even inserted an "ad" or two in
the personal columns. This had
seemed almost always to bring re-
SponSe to others who used them. But
to no avail They went unanswered.
She formed the habit of looking
through the deaths. even once going
to the morgue with a cold hand
clutching at her heart, TO view an
unidentified man.
1t was not he, so again she went
about the business of living-working
with feverish energy during the day,
coming home to the desolate apart
ment at night.
One day Mr.. Evans called her in.

self very valuable to us. Beginning

Strange, this gave her only a dead
feeling. All the exhilaration that
would have been there if she could
have rejoiced with Mark. was gone.
That evening she decided to walk
part of the way home. 1t would
make her tired and then she might
be able to sleep AS she passed
through the park the slight movement
of a man in overalls caused her to
look up.
1t couldn't be-but it was-Mark!
His clothing was torn. but his face

TURNS
TO COMMODITIES
Many Traders Discouraged
by Present Inertia of
Stock Market.
BY CLAUDE A. JAEGER,

Associated Press Financial Editor.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Speculators
discouraged over the inertia of the
stock market, have lately been giving
increasing attention to commodities.
Brokers as well, seeing their COM
missions in Stock Exchange business
dwindle, have been casting an ap-
praising eye over various staples as a
source of revenue.
There has been no sign Of such
stampede into staples as that Of a
year ago, prompted by the deprecia-
ton of the dollar. But the drought
has given a slight stimulus to COM
modify speculation, and whetted the
speculative appetite.
Brokers have been trying to dis
cover some new staples in which fu-
lures trading might be started. The
so per cent tax on speculative profits
in silver has almost killed the market
in that metal in the commodity ex-
change.
OIL Futures Talked.
This has prompted some members
Of the exchange to reconsider a for
AAiCA PAoAA W ctesAS q AeSA~ % AAAe@A NV
in petroleum. This plan was con-
sidered some months ago but was
abandoned, largely because it ap-
peared that a speculative futures mar
ket might not fit in with the Gov
ernment's plan to control that in
dustry. Now however a plan to trade
in gasoline for future delivery is re-
ceiving serious consideration.
F. r. Henderson. a former presi-
dent of the Rubber Exchange, has
been trying to start market in to-
bacco futures for some time and hopes
to inaugurate trading in this product
during the Summer.
A few Wall Street spectators, since
the drought became serious, have
been dabbling in such staples as lard,
butter and eggs, in the Chicago
market.
The fact that speculation has been
regarded with profound distrust in
Washington has not deferred brokers
and traders from seeking expansion
of the futures markets in staples.
They insist that these markets per-
form a vital economic function.
Adverse Effect Seen.
In fact, the argument is frequently
encountered in Wall Street that dis
couraging Of speculation has had an
adverse effect upon the price of such
staples as wheat.
One commentator, discussing last
weeks selloff in wheat, described it
as striking example of the fallacy
OF the theory that speculation was
the cause of low prices. Crop esti-
mates we're extremely bullish, but
speculative activity was at such a
low ebb that there were no buyers to
absorb the offerings from the farms,
he asserted and pointed out that
while the Chicago market declined
cents bushel, Winnipeg declined
only a cent, and Liverpool was about
unchanged.
A vital factor IN the partial shift
! Of speculative attention from securi-
ties to commodities, presumably. is
the fact that Congress passed the
stock exchange control measure. but
modify exchanges.
Some commodity brokers predict
however that the commodity ex-
changes themselves will be more
vigilant than they have ever been in
the past to prevent any manipulative
trading tactics. in the hope that by
the time the next Congress conveneS
their behavior will have been so good
that there will be no demand to re-
vive the commodity exchange control
measure.
