NEW YORK; Nov. 3.-The In
4 veStment Bankers of America
have decided to follow the lead of
the American Bankers Association
in getting behind the government in
its efforts to pull the country out of
the depression. This is an important
step, for the nation needs long-term
funds fully as much as, if not more
than, it needs the short term loans

NEW YORK, Nov. 3.-Stocks con-
tinued to advance today IL light
turnover. Gains ranged to point
in the main list, while special issues
had advances running to more than
4 points. Budd Manufacturing Com
pany was the most active issue on
the board. 1t reached 5A, up 1.
while the preferred touched 49,,
up Az. Budd is the builder of the
famous Chicago, Burlington 81
Quincy Zephyr.
Several issues made new tops for
the year, including American SUI
matra Tobacco at 22h, up u; Uni
verSal Leaf Tobacco 581s, up rs;
Wilson preferred 911z, up l; Coca
Cola 1441z, up q; McCrory B 6l4,
up Il, and the preferred 56%, up
IS.
Oil shares continued in fair de-
mand. Building issues were better,
especially the Celotex group. Schen-
ley gained nearly point in the
wet division. Noranda continued to
rally in the Colds. General Ameri-
can Transportation was up nearly
a point in the railroad equipments.
American Wooden preferred jumped
nearly points in the textiles, where
Celanese was up fractionally. Sill
vers were barely changed.
Week in Review
Net results of this week on the
Stock Exchange were practical neg
lect of the leading stocks which
barely moved, and gains in special
issues for special reasons.
Trading continued on a light ba-
sis-around a half million shares a
day for full sessions. Other mar
kets also were dull Bonds were
higher on the week. The dollar
gained against gold currencies to
the point where a gold shipment
left France for New York. Com
modities we're mixed with a sub
stantial gain in grains sufficient to
lift the United Press index nearly
a point.
A feature Of the week was a sharp
decline in the price of Stock Ex-
change seats. The latest sale was
for $4,000, a decline of $4,000 for
the week. That was new low since
1882 and, except for that year, when
the low was $4,000, it was a new
minimum since 1919, when a seat
sold at 100000.
Other Lines Pick Up
Despite the drop in stock market
business, other lines showed some
signs of pickup. Steel operations
rose more than point on orders
from the automobile industry, which
in turn was stepping up produc-
ton. Electricity output rose to the
best level since July %. Car load
ings declined only slightly more
than seasonal.
Ordinarily those things, together
with long list of fairly good third
quarter reports, retention of the So
cent token dividend on United States
Steel preferred stock, and long list
of extra dividends would have
brought an active rally. However,
no trader wanted to make commit
ments in advance of election despite
clear indications of the outcome.
Railroad shares had a sinking
spell for time when few shares
were offered, butt they rallied later.
Oils firmed Oh practical breakup of
the gasoline war. Utilities dipped
with Consolidated Gas for a time,
but came back. Mercantile issues,
those of companies in re-
turnover. Tobaccos gained on out
look for higher earnings.

Stock Studies

The Electric Bond g. Share Com
pany has helped in the organization
of many leading utility holding
companies including American &
Foreign Power, American Power &
Light, Electric Power g. Light, and
United Gas Corporation.
The company still acts in super
vising capacity of utility holding
companies and its income is derived
principally from supervision services
as we'll as from interest and divi-
dends from investments in these
companies.

ID OBERT T. CRANE, the newly
IN elected president of the Invest
ment Bankers Association of Amer
lea. announced he would appoint
committee to consult with the
President or his lieutenants on all
investment banking matters. This
was a busineSslike step. 1t makes
it possible to bring about the great
est amount of cooperation between
the government and the bankers.
But there is very little this COM
mittee can do, except, perhaps, to
help provide the facts and argu-
ments which may or may not lead
to revision of the Securities Act, the
one stumbling block to the resump-
ton of long term lending. 1t can
not make agreements to speed lend
ing, for it could not make good on
its promises.
TN making the point that business
l. people are to blame for the lack
of long-term financing the invest
ment bankers are taking a page
from the American Bankers Asso-
cations book which they can not
use. 1t is rather obvious that it
does not accurately represent the
actual situation, except that bust
ness people are unwilling, unless put
to it, to assume the obligations i'm
posed on them by the Securities Act
any more than are the bankers
They are all in the same boat, and
it is uniting that the bankers
should lay the blame on business
men.

Mosquito Control First
Aid Units Organized

G.. w. A. groups working at mos
quito control ditching in the south
ern parts of Kent and Sussex coun-
ties attended a class in first aid on
Monday afternoon at the FrankfOrd
and ThOmpsonville field offices of
the Mosquito Control Commission.
These classes were given by first
aid specialists of the State police,
under arrangements made by j. A.
Barnholt, Safety Director of the Del
aware Civil Works Administration.
At each meeting instructions we're
given to the FIVE field fOremen. To
three men from each fOreman's
group, to the five map sketchers, and
to the chief clerk, making a total of
twenty-five men in the Sussex and
Kent fields, respectively, and one
man in each of the six field Offices
who are proficient in first aid work.
1T is the governments desire"

low normal. To date we've had prac-
tically no accidents. even of a minor
character. The groups now receiv-
ing instructions at Frankford and
ThOmpsOnville will be taught all the
branches of first aid work, using
the most up to date type of first aid
kits, and the accompanying instruc-
tiOn booklets. Pursuant to this
course of Instructions, first aid kits
will be issued to each working party
in the field
I'VE hope a little later to arrange
the same course of instruction for /
picked groups of men in the c. c. c. /
camps. We are giving this instruc- |

daily visits the other camp. both ,

every effort to protect workers and
believes in the policy of careful at

them developing by infection into
something more serious"
