The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-09-29

You will notice in the above standing that the Estimators fin- ished way in front of the rest of the fie.d and in so doing won the series with every team in the league. Tn spite of the fact that the Esitmators had very poor ma terial on their squad, due ft0 the managerial strategy employed by their invincible captain. the out come of the race. was never in doubt. e
 This year. the Estimators plan to win the pennant before the sea. son is half over. They have signed up some new material which in the training camp workouts showed 6 lot of promise and hidden power. A quick survey of the new Estima- tor lineup. will show much more, than words can tlel of theig power. rrav,.ano AyS; i5s teinicke >...ss.s......... .s..s z lvU NeWeH ....sssss........ yS niiier ....ssssss..... ,. ..sslO OullSaH 5S

WOOL MARKET

Boston, Feb. 5.-UP) The
Boston wool market remained i'm
active today. Aggregate business
here last week was estimated at 81
100000 pounds, against 100000
In one week about the middle of
January.
Prices were maintained because
of decreasing supplies of domestic
woods and actual scarcity of some
lires. Best demand was for fine
medium territory quarterblood
fieeces and medium grades of
secured woods. Quotations were UNI
changed.
The L. S. agriculture depart
ment said: Demand for wool in
the Boston market recently has
swung quite largely to the cheap
err qualities of secured woods and
mill wastes suitable for wooden
manufacture. Worsted cloth manu-
facturers, however, have continued
to make inquiries for greasy comb
| ing domestic woods but their pur-
chases in most cases~have been re-
stricted to small quantities for
which steady to firm prices were
laid. Estimated receipts of domes-
tic wool at Boston, reported to the
Boston Grain and Flour Exchange
during the week ending February
3, amounted to 2,948.300 pounds,
compared with 421,500 pounds
during the previous week."

FLOW OF PRIVATE
CAPITAL COMING
INTO BUSINESS
Officials Believe Stability
of Money Will Induce
investments
BIZ RICHARD L. GBIDLEY

copyright 1884, by United Press)
Washington, Feb 5.-(UP)-A
heavy flow of private investment
capital into the country's business
enterprises with the appearance OF
signs of monetary stability Is ex-
pected by important administration
officials, the United Press was tn-
formed to-day.
If several billions of dollars of
timid American capital can be
coaxed out of hiding in various
short term securities, government
officials believe that the financing
of the recovery movement gradual
" can no g back to private hands
and thus relieve the governments
financial burdens.
Because of previous money fears
of drastic depreciation of the dol
lar, the federal government has
been practically the only credit
reservoir for business.
Billions of dollars have been
poured into thousands of enter
prises by the government to carry
them over the recent trying finan7
cial period. This financing burden
will be shifted back to private m
yestors as soon as the latter can
be coaxed into new long term In
vestments.
The government now has taken
a stand that banks and individuai
investors should begin to do their
part" in financing of the recovery
program now that they have as
surance of relatively stable doi-
lar.
Railroads applying to the Re
construction Finance Corporatio.i'
are being told to seek. private
capital. The government, howeve.'
still is trying to aid small nusi.
nass NV supplying RFC credit
through local mortgage companies
formed for that purpose.
f,overnment economists believe
that important impetus TO the cur
rent moderate business upswing
will be given with the gradual re-
opening of the long term invest
1nent market. Large corporatlons
are said to be holding up various
pIant improvements and other pet
terments because they cannon
borrow money to make repairs. II
The capital now can be obtalneo
from private investors, 1t is ex-
pected new activity will be m
iected in such important 'neavy IN
dustries as iron and steel and ma
chinery. ,oar
New long-term capital has been
.,n, nst unobtainable recently py
many large industries because OF
monetary Uncertainties and heavy
rastrictions of the Securities bill.
The former has been removed to
large extent and President Roose-
yelt,s advisers are studying. posi-,
HE changes in the Securities Dill
