ACTIVITY
RISES AGAIN

Steel ingot production for the
current week is indicated at 1928
per cent of capacity, according to
the American Iron and Steel Insti-
tute.
This compares with 200 per
cent a week ago and represents an
increase Of IA points or 81 per
cent.
This is the second consecutive
increase following seven weeks of
decreases.
A month ago the industry was
operating at 21.3 per cent of
capacity. The rate of output is
now back to where it was five
weeks ago.
Steel interests report that the
Improvement in ingot output is
due to the moderate increase in
demand which was encountered
by number of leading steel COM
panies with the beginning of last
week.
Expansion in orders has been
confined to small limits, so far,
but leaders of the industry were
reported as encouraged by the
willingness of some users to place
orders.
The buying, according to the
trade, is due to reduced inven-
tories by manufacturing con-
sumers. The latter have been
working off stocks for several
months and any increase in their
business, it was stated, would
bring them into the market for
inventory requirements.

American Iron and Steel Institute,

In steel trade circles recently
there has been considerable specu-
lation as to prices. It is known
that some of the large consumers
have been exerting pressure for
concessions and for this reason
have been delaying purchases.

Stock Exchange
May Report on
u. 5. Smelling

The results of an investigation
of the recent decline in the stock
Of United States Smelling by the
New York Stock Exchange may be
made public. The exchange is
considering such action, it is
learned. The decline in the stock
was conspicuous at the time it
occurred, not being in keeping
with the general trend of the mar
ket.
The exchange has requested the
Securities and Exchange Commits
sion to keep its financial state
ment confidential. Although Off
cial comment on this matter could
not be obtained it was reported
that there were certain legal rea'
sons back of the request OF the ex'
change.
A supplementary list Of cor
porationS with securities listed on
the exchange which have applied
for temporary registration will be
issued in the near future. This
decision represents a change in
attitude on the part of the ex.
change, which announced on Sept
10 that the publications Of such
additional names might lead to
mistaken conclusions"
The names of issuers applying
for registration made public pre-.
viously totals 1872. There are 237
iSsuers for which it is probable
the exchange will seek registra
ton, as they are in process of re.
organization or for other reasons.
About thirty.five issuers have not
applied for registration. AS there
are total of 1,412 iSsuers of listed
securities it is expected that the
forthcoming list will consist of the
names of 408 iSsuers.

j. s. To START
SPAIN TALKS

Invitation has been extended
Spain to negotiate a reciprocal
tariff pact, talks to begin Novem-
yer IL.
The treaty is designed to revive
a trade between the two countries
that has shrunk SO per cent
during the depression.
Secretary Hull, while giving no
official answer to the German sug'
gestion that various German man
ufactured products be exchanged
for American raw materials, made
known that he considered barter
ing agreements a possible hin
drance rather than an aid to re-
storing world trade.
Reciprocal trade agreements, re-
arranging tariff barriers, Hull ex'
planned, are designed to cope with
the entire worldwide situation
rather than act as a temporary
corrective in any specified area
A narrow policy confined to
evenly balancing trade between
any two nations, he asserted, was
the most direct road to economic
ruin.
The opening of negotiations
with Spain will bring to three OF
the number of trade pacts so far
projected in Europe. Eight others
are completed or under negotla'
ton in Latin America.
The State Department reported
today that American exports TO
Spain decreased from $82. 12O, 100
in 1929-the banner year-to $780,
756,698 in 1888. Imports from
Spain decreased from 36,O59, 277
to $13, 701, 439 in the same period.
SPANS principal exports to the
United States include cork, olive
oil, olives, almonds, hides and
skins and pepper. There is an
increasing market in this country
also for Spanish wines.
Spain provides an excellent
market for American cotton, auto
mobiles and trucks, mineral oils.

manufactures, machinery, lumber

Hoven Takes Means
of Making a Living
From P'wood Worker

Sometime last week County At
torney Vernon Hoven attached the
car, a Ford coupe, of Earl Rus
sell of Plentywood for a grocery
debt. Such an act is nothing I'M
usual for a county attorney, but
in this case it meant that Hoven
took away Russell's means of MAX
ing living. Earl Russell is an
insurance agent and has to use his
car to go after his business.
If it would have been a farm
er's car the county attorney per-
haps would have thought it over
twice before he took the case. This
worker, however, was utterly de-
fenseless.
Russell owed a grocery bill Of
| $66 to L. c. Helm. He had made
payments on it as late rs the enc
| of September and had paid off $3S
half of it. Yet, in spite of thi!
and in spite of his assurance to pay
all as soon as he was able to, hi
means of making a living wer'
taken away from him by the &C
ton of the county attorney, VIII,
is now up for reelection.

TAXES ARE ALSO
DEDUCTED FROM
CATTLE CHECKS
Co. Treasurer Puts Lien
Against Cattle That
Are Not Assessed
By a Farmer Correspondent


Not only is the relief admins
tration after the few dollars we
get for the cattle that have been
taken by the government, but now
also taxes are being deducted from
these cattle checks. We are re-
ceiving little enough money as it
is, but what little we are getting
we are not at liberty to spend any
more. =
A few days ago a farmer here
had received his cattle check from
the government and $40 had been
deducted by the county treasurer
for taxes. This man had obtain
ed his cattle in April 1884 and
no cattle had been assessed when
the last assessment was made. He
could not understand it.
After getting some information
he went to the treasurer's office
and demanded a statement regard
ing these taxes. There they hunt
ed through several files, etc., but
nothing could be found, so finally
they arrived at the conclusion that
| the cattle had not been assessed
and that there were no taxes a
gainst them, although the treasur
er, or whoever did this dirty work
: had filed a lien against the cattle
for taxes.
When they found that there wa
no hope Of chiseling the $40 GU
: of this farmer, they gave him hi
statement and he could then receiv
4 the full amount of money for hi
D cattle.
They got US coming and going.
