Stocks of Hosiery
Pile Up Despite
Rise in Shipments

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 12-The
need Of regulation Of production in
industry is strikingly shown by official
statistics of the hosiery trade, where
stocks on hand in seven months have
increased by 2,s28,45s dozen pairs.
This rise took place despite gains in
shipments.
Accompanying the general increase
in stocks, there has been a series Of
rumors about price cuts. Reports also
have mentioned chiseling by a few of
the large concerns, as well as by many
little fellows"
With the exception of cotton hosiery,
most items have trended lower in re-
cent weeks because of lower silk and
wool quotations, the slowness of re-
tail orders and unfavorable general
hose trade statistics.
Stocks of all types Of hosiery made
in this country, mems women's
children's and infants, at the end Of
May --latest available code fgures)
were 17,4l9,201 dozen pairs. This
contrasted with 14,490.842 at the end
of last October, the first month for
which trade statistics were gathered
from 95 per cent of the industry.

agement Corp.
Ry the Associated Press.


NEW YORK. September 12.-A
special meeting of stockholders Of
General Motors Corp. has been called
for September 27, with the objective OF
dealing with proposed changes in
General Motors Management Corp, a
statement issued by A. P. Sloan, jr.,
president Of General Motors Corp,
said.
General Motors Management Corp.
was organized in 1880 to provide IAN
instrumentality whereby its stock
holders, constituting the major ex-
ecutive group of General Motors,
would boone important stockholders
in General Motors common stock" the
statement said.
The original provision for retire
ment of sT000,000 per cent bonds Of
General Motors Management Corp.
issued in part payment for General
Motors stock is to be Cancelled, ac-
cording to the plan, because earnings
of General Motors Management Corp.
have been reduced The Indebtedness
would not come due until March IS,
1887, under the plan.
Furthermore, interest on the bonds
would be cut to 5 per cent from 6 per
cent, retroactively up to March Is,
1884. Thereafter the interest would
be at the rate of 6 per cent, but not
to exceed the amount of dividends re-
ceived in General Motors common
stock
An adjustment also is contemplated
in the security underlying the bonded
Indebtedness in order ito insure to
the managers group their pro rata
participation in the earnings of the
contract between General Motors and
General Motors Management Corp. !"

CH|LDREN'S MILK
CAMPAIGN BEGUN
Pint Day Plan of A. A. A.

By the Associated Press.
A pint of milk a day for every
child is the goal Of new campaign
getting under way.
1t is being planned by DR.. Frederic
G. Howe, consumers counsel of the
Agricultural Adjustment Administra-
tion, and by national womens organi-
cations. A survey of 29,485 families
in SO cities, Howe said, showed the
average consumption of milk was 27
per cent below the lowest quantity
considered necessary for health
Howe conferred yesterday with a
committee representing II women S
organizations. Concerned because
large numbers of children were suf-
fering from malnutrition, these groups
asked last April that the milk survey
be made.
Plan to Be Outlined.
He will meet with them again
within 10 days. At that time, a pro-
gram for promoting the ''pint-a-day-
for-every-child" idea will be outlined.
Efforts will be made to enlist local
bodies such as women's organizations,
civic groups and parent-teacher as
sociations In the campaign to raise
the necessary funds with which to
supply the milk. Howe pointed out
that many local governments were
now providing milk through relief
funds or budgetary expenditures.

SEAT PRICES TAKEN
AS SIGN OF LULL
Drop to $4,000 Accents
Gloomy Outlook OF Bro
kerage Firms.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
,nrAal nIsnatnh "a The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 12.-The
decline in market value Of stock ex-
change seats has served TO deepen
the gloom with which the financial
district has enshrouded itself.
This week, so far, has seen the
price Of seats drop to the lowest since
May, 1882. Last Thursday, two sales
we're reported at $50, 900. On Monday.
they had dropped to $4,000 and, on
Tuesday. $4,000 more was cut from
the price, bringing the figure down
to $4,000, not far from the S68, 900
transaction effected on May 81. 1892.
The 1884 high was $3.50. 900. in
February. The record high for mem
bership on the exchange was made in
1929, when the average price at which
transfers were made was $593, 900, Q
far cry from $4,000 today.
Consultations Talked.
The number of people directly af-
fected by the price of seats on the
exchange is limited to the number Of
members, but the decline in values
is taken as indicative of a belief in
well informed quarters of continue
ing low level of activity in trading,
and therefore is of deep interest to
all who depend for their living on
Wall Street-brokers, clerks, mes
senger boys, elevator operators and
all the rest.
The machinery Of the street is
equipped TO handle so much more
business than there is any reason to
expect will develop in the near future
that wholesale consultations Of brok-
erage houses and consequent increase
in unemployment is the only solution.
The uncertainty is heightened by
the prospect Of direct Government con-
troll on October /, for which rules
now are being formulated by the COM
mission. The prohibitions against
manipulation take effect then.
Pools May Have Sold.
Possibly. some Of the selling which
has depressed prices in the last 10
| days has come from pools which de-
layed nQuidating until the last mo-
ment. If so, they closed their ac-
counts at neavy losses. That weight
will be lifted from the market after
the first of the month.
! There remains the question of short
selling. That operation is permitted
under the law only according to the
methods prescribed by the commits
sion, and no hint Of its attitude has
leaked out.
The short interest is believed to be
somewhat larger than it was when the
current decline began, but it is still
OF small proportion. One reason WHY
the silver stocks broke as violently
as they did was the absence of a
| siZable short account.

DEMAND CHEERS
HARDWARE TRADE
Some Areas Which Suffered
Most From Drought Show
Big Gains. -
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 12.-Con-
sumner demand for hardware showed
sustained evidences of strength through
August, in spite of adverse influences.
Some districts which had the SevereSt
setbacks from the drought are leading
in the latest statistical improvement,
Hardware Age will say tomorrow in
its market summary.
Minneapolis, for example, reports
that retail store sales have risen a
little, both in the cities and through
out the rural districts. In the South
west, retail trade is showing marked
improvement, making the best record
for six weeks at Kansas City. Whole
sale trade also has showed fair gains
Encouraging reports continue to
come from the South, and particular
ly from Atlanta. Both retail and
wholesale houses report increased
buying demands, and sales generally
were about 90 to 25 per cent greater
than in August year ago.
Recent price changes in hardware
have been few, but buyers, both
wholesale and retail, are cautious,
and have been letting stocks run
down while they play the game of
wait and see" While the effect of
this policy has been to discourage
unnecessary markups. orderin g
against actual shortage is now be-
coming more urgent and more evi-
dent.
Manufacturers in many lines have
had long wait for replacement buy
ing to trickle down to them but they
will now certainly share to a greater
extent in Fall activities than they
have in those Of the Summer Man
ufacturers' stocks are practically
negligible, and there is much more
than threat Of shortages and de-
layed shipments, if Fall ordering is
anything but moderate.
