COTTONSEEDO|L'S
ADVANCE WATCHED
Large Consumers Are Buy
ing Futures as Hedge for
Price Changes.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special DlSpaLcn 70 Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 20.-Recent
advance and activity in cottonseed
oil futures have not reacted yet in
kitchens and bath rooms along Main
Street or around cattle farms, but
makers of lard compounds and sub
stitutes, margarine, soap, salad oils.
mayonnaise and stock feed know
about those gyrations.
Large cottonseed oil consumers
have been buying futures as hedge
against violent swings in the price
because they know seed supplies are
short and demand Is larger than
usual. Only through hedging ope-
rations are manufacturers of cotton
seed oil products able to maintain
relatively stable retail prices.
This buying of cottonseed oil fu-
lures, which naturally has attracted
some spectators, results from the
weather and Government legislation,
such as the animal and crop reduc-
ton program, monetary moves, the
Bankhead cotton tax and the tax
on imports of cocoanut oil from the
EIlllpplIlcS.
Drought affected cottonseed oil in
two ways. 1t cut the size of the
cotton crop and therefore the amount
OF cottonseed. 1t reduced the amount
OF oil content In seed that will be
harvested. DryneSs similarly affected
cottonseed in 1930-1931.
The drought also affected supplies
of products that compete for the
cottonseed oil market. 1t compelled
marketing of thousands of hogs.
cattle and sheep which we're light
in weight and therefore yielded less
than the usual amount of lard or
tallow. The dryness cut corn crops
and thereby reduced the amount Of
corn oil yield. Huge sowings of soy
beans, however, promise increased
supplies of soya oil, which, for some
purposes, is a substitute for various
fats and oils from cottonseed, lard,
tallow and corn.

BUSINESS URGED
TO SUPPLY DATA
Clifford, Du Pont, Hartman
Favor More Details
for Public.
BY j. r. BRACKETT,
Associated Press Staf Writer.


So investors may know better where
their money is going, American bust
ness men were advised yesterday by
three of their most important execu-
tives to supply more detailed, uniform
and intelligible information to the
public.
The advice was offered by Walter S
Clifford, president of the American
Telephone & Telegraph Co.; Pierre S.
du Pont, chairman of E. I. du Pont de
Nemours & Co., and William A. Harri-
man, railroad executive and N. r. A
adviser.
The recommendations were con-
tanned in an elaborate report to the
Business Advisory and Planning
Council of the Department of Com
merce. They specifically asserted that
"the investor is eEtjtled to believe that
the general impression conveyed by
the (corporation) statements was in
tended to be conveyed and that it is
the right impression"
They added:
In a country in which the owner
ship of corporations is distributed
among millions of stockholders and
savings of additional millions are in
vested in the bonds of such corpora
tions, directly or through savings
banks, insurance companies and other
fiduciary institutions, the amount OF
reliance placed upon corporate hnan-
cial statements is very great; they are
matters of considerable public con-
Germ.
Indeed, it appears that these pub
lie financial reports, since they are
most readily available to the general
public, are the key to the solution OF
the basic problem of protecting the
small investor

STOCKS HES|TANT
AS VOLUME SAGS
Some Steel Issues Down.
Transfers Approximate
Only 10000.
BY VICTOR EUBANK.

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, August 20.-Stocks
we're virtually trendless today in the
dullest f1ve-hour session in about IL
years. Transfers approximated only
100000 shares. While some Of the
steel issues sagged, small fractional
gains and losses were the rule in the
colorless proceedings. The close was
moderately irregular.
With the ticker tape generally
silent, few customers we're attracted
to the somewhat gloomy board rooms.
There was little news of sufhcient
Importance to lift the list out of the
doldrums. Most of the metals yielded
early gains of fractions to around a
point. A few Specialties moved in
differently into higher territory, in
cluding Brooklyn Manhattan Transit,
which responded to resumption of
dividends on the common stock with
an advance of more than a point.
Wheat got up a cent or so bushel,
but finished with only part of its
advance Corn and the other cereals
were hesitant in the face of profit
taking. Cotton Vas also subjected TO
considerable realizing, but closed
strong. Hogs at Chicago made new
peak since 1881. Bonds we're nStless
and mixed. U. S. Government securi-
ties eased. The dollar improved in
terms OF leading foreign exchanges.
U. S. Steel preferred dropped more
than points and the common was
soft. The American Iron and Steel
Institute reported that current pro-
duction was at 21.3 per cent of ca
pacity, a new low since the institute
began compiling weekly figures last
Fall. The steadier shares included
those of U. S. Smelling, Columbia Gas,
Santa Fe, Loew's, Interborough Rapid
Transit, General Foods, Case, Ameri-
can Telephone and American Can.
Chrysler, General Motors, Howe
Sound, New York Central, United Air
craft, Consolidated Gas, American
Smelling and many others were un-
changed to somewhat lower.
