IN MEMoRIAM

In memory of my husband. Eli w
Robbins. who left me one year ago,
January Is, 1883:
From this world of pain and sorrow,
TO a land of peace aud rest.
God has taken my husband
Where he found eternal rest.
He did not fail to do his best
His heart was true and tender,
He worked so hard for those he left
That's something to remember;
His busy hands are folded
His toll on earth is done.
His troubles are all ended.
His Heavenly crown he won;
His chair is vacant. my heart is sore
Iool<ing for one that will come home

MAKERS.
SURE Of RISE

Steel makers are confident that
substantial improvement in the
steel industry is certain, once the
automobile industry has launched
it's new models, states the maya
zine Steel.
Though two weeks of the fourth
quarter have passed without any
large commitments from leading
consumers, the trend in buying,
as measured by volume of mis-
cellaneous orders, is upward, the
publication says, adding:
From present indications,
steel specifications from auto
mobile manufacturers should
show a measurable gain early
in November. While prOduc-
ton last week was increased
by 5000 cars, to $4,000, many
automobile plants remained
idle, and the industry as q
whole is at the bottom of its
1884 schedules.
Demand for pig iron from
automobile fOundries has ex-
banded at a much better rate
than has that for finished
STEEL"
Steel markets generally last
week reflected the hesitation pre-
valent pending the statement by
Donald R. Richberg Of the Gov.
ernment's code and price policies,
but the statement came too late
in the week to afford any gauge
Of it's effects on consumers, Steel
says.
Richberg indicated that no i'm
portant changes in the steel code
are contemplated, which dispels
some uncertainty regarding prices,
the publication states, but on
the other hand the pronounce
ment frustrated hopes held by
leading buyers for a highly com
petitive market such as would be
certain to result in reductions,
Offsetting this, however, the
more definite intimationS of i'm
pending inflationary measures
are expected to stimulate buying
as a hedge against the conse'
quences of initiation, the publ
cation adds.
Steel operations last week were
unchanged at slightly above Is
per cent of capacity.

Broader Demand
Forecast for
Fur Trade
Broadening demand during the

Broadening demand during the
next six months is forecast for
the fur trade by Dun & Brad
street in a current survey.
Following the severe Winter Of
last year and the earlier employ
ment conditions thus far in 1884,
a widening demand during the
next six months gives assured in
dications of restoring a fair
measure of prosperity to the fur
business, the credit agency adds,
stating:
''Production during the past
nine months has been governed
by the actual amount of bust
ness in sight, and the absence
of purely speculative accumula~
lions of either pelts or made-up
goods lends q strengthening
tone for Fall and Winter bust
ness.
MANY manufacturers have
widened schedules lately, rs in
quiries from various consuming
elements indicate activity that
should exceed by . wide per-
centage that of q year ago.
While production continues
heaviest in staple medium and
lOwer-priced garments, orders
for the better qualities of
merch a n disc are growing
steadily more numerous"

ciably under Fridays, the last full
session.
United States Smelling was an
early favorite, rising nearly three
points before meeting with profit
taking, which cut the gain mod
erately. The strength here in
duced some buying in the other
metal shares, including Howe
Sound, American Smelling and
Cerro de Pasco, and was appar-
emily due to China's action in
placing an export tax on silver.
Auburn Climbs
Auburn was another individual
feature, rising moderately to a
new high on the movement, but
this had comparatively little ef-
feet on the other motor shares.
including General Motors, Chrys-
Ter and Nash, which held around
Saturdays closing levels.
Railroad shares were inclined to
lag and in some instances, such as
Atchison, Lackawanna, New York
Central and Southern Pacific,
moved fractionally lower. The
decline here apparently repre-
sented profit taking induced by
last weeks rather broad advance.
Mcclellan Quiet
Last weeks favorites, the n1er"
chandising stocks, particularly
those in receivership, were quiet
and generally steady today. Nc
Lellan Stores appeared on the
tape infrequently, apparently as
a result of the news that the
SEC vas investigating its recent
sharp rise. R. H. Macy, another
favorite, was turned over in fair
amounts, but got nowhere.
An easier tone in the commod-
ity market deferred traders from
further activity in the farm i'm
plement shares, where Case and
International Harvester held at
around their previous closing
levels.
Utilities generally marked time.
Oils, chemicals, tobaccos and the
specialties were dull and steady.
Liquors were slightly higher un'
der the lead of National D1stillers.

Code Seen
Aid to Pay, Jobs

The provision in the cotton
textile code which established a
check on over-capacity, limiting
productive machine operation to
two 40.hour shifts weekly, was de-
clared largely responsible for i'm
provement of labor conditions in
the cotton textile industry by
George A. Sloan, chairman Of the
cotton textile code authority.
Compared with March, 1888,
the industry in July of this year,
a month of abnormally low de-
mand, had increased its average
hourly wage rates 76 per cent and
added 100000 workers to it's pay
rolls, said Sloan.
During the spring peak Of sea-
sonal demand, the industry re-em-
ployed 100000 more workers than
in March, 1888, he added. Present
indications are that final reports
for August will show impressive
gains fc- labor, he said, notwith-
standing a record midsummer
slump in consumer demand for
the industry'S products.

COTTON LOSSES
HELD DOWN

NEW YORK, Oct. is G.N.s).
Reactionary tendencies persisted
in the cotton market today, but
losses were restricted due to the
curtailed volume of offerings.
While grains were slightly bet
ter in early dealings, sentiment in
the ring was depressed by the ir-
regularity in stocks. With Liver"
pool equivalents virtually I'm.
changed the local market opened
3 to z points lower. These losses
were pared somewhat in subse"
quent dealings.
Locals, Wall Street houses and
the Far East were limited buyers,
while spot interests, Liverpool and
the South sold. A few scattered
hedge sales were noticeable on the
call. sAIu@
Weather conditions over the cot
ton belt generally are fair, with no
rainfall reported, except for light
showers in Oklahoma City and
Brownsville, Tex. Mostly dry wea-
ther prevailed over the weekend
and temperatures were high in
many areas. There is some frost
in the extreme Northeast. Much
of the belt still has some cotton to
pick, whereas most sections ex-
pected to be finished before this.
Noon prices were off 3 to 4
points, with December off 4 at
1928, March off 3 at 1899, may
off at 1914, and July off 4 at
12.48.

MARGIN RULES
PUT IN EFFECT

BY International News Service
Entire provisions of the Securi-
ties exchange act went into effect
today.
Some sections, including the
anti-manipulation provision, were
effective October l.
The important section made ef-
fective today was that pertaining
to margin requirements, details Of
which were prepared by the Fed
eral Reserve Board. Margins from
Is to As per cent Of the stock
value are required.
On the request of the Federal
Reserve Board, period of read
justment from october to is was
allowed. This permitted brokers
and dealers to transact business
in securities without regard to
their registration and to operate
without regard to the margin re-
quirement of the reserve board.
The securities act makes it un-
lawful for members of national
securities exchanges, or brokers or
dealers who transact a business in
securities through the medium of
such members, to extend credit on
securities not registered upon a
national securities exchange, where
the purpose of the extension Of
credit is to purchase or carry Sc
curitieS.
The law provides that it is I'm.
lawful for members of exchanges
or brokers or dealers to effect any
transaction in any security on q
national exchange unless the Sc.
curity is effectively registered.

TRADE NARROW

NEW YORK, Oct. is G.N.S0.
With little in the news to influ-
ence it in either direction, the
stock market turned in a dull per-
Torrance today, the first session
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1934-10-15

washington, which rumors came
to the aid of the manipulatvie
move in certain low-priced is
sues, notably the "store stocks"
Now, despite little setback
on Saturday, the averages are
again above the rising trend
line. Saturdays performance was
not q bad one, considering the
wild and disturbing rumor mon
gering which centered in the
White House. $50 many traders
were on holiday, however, that
the markets action is difficult
to judgeO
On the bull side, we can say
that the market has shown re-
siStance to declines at success
sively higher levels. The charts
suggest that ordinarily the trad
ing momentum would carry the
averages at least q little higher
before the current "intermediate
move" topped out. This seems
particularly true Of such indus
trial leaders as American Can
and Dupont.)
The New Dealers are stepping
up their distributions Of other
peoples money, and on the eve of
November elections their politi-
clans don't want sour stock mar
ket. There is also an obvious
drive to talk business up on the
basis of less radicalism, while at
the same time holding the door
open to initiation.
On the bear side, the con-
fusion created by loose and con-
flicting talk at washington Is
negative factor.
The recent squirt was based on
revived rumOrS of initiation, but
then the initiation steam was
turned Off-perhaps too quickly.
There have been plain signs OF
manipulation in various cat-and-
dog issues, with some public
participation. This may have been
a last whirl before the SEC
takes full control, as it now does.
Whether this control will put a
crimp in such activity, remains to
be seen.
The averages have hesitated
just at the upper resistance level.
The rails are a bit backward, and
the utilities have not acted very
well.
It seems fair to say that some
more irregularity could develop
here without hurting the chances
o. further gains. In fact, I would
say that, while the uncertainties
are very great, the chances are in
favor of some further rise after
little irregularity around present
levels.
The Washington developments
simmer down to the following con-
illusions:
(D-Price-lifting policy has
not been abandoned.
(2)-Further dollar devalua-
ton remains possibility, and
experiments with managed cur
rency and Commodity dollar"
seems likely.
(3)-The Administration is
concerned about the effect ION
the eve Of elections) that de-
valuation and o fluctuating dol
lar might have ON an already
disturbed business sentiment.
Therefore, while concealing his
final intention (if he has any,
the President will not engage in
currency tinkering for the pres
ent, and will try to follow ICON.
sentative" methods of govern
ment finance. Nothing is settled,
but hopes are kept alive-both Of
initiation and of no further in1la-
ton.
My guess is that this attempt to
ride the donkey and carry him,
too, will allow both initiation"
and better business" forces to
work on the stock market. Thus
no large reaction seems probable,
say below last Wednesdays high,
and at least another point or
two of rise may be expected be-
tween now and November.
