car manufacturers for extensive
fall sales campaign with heavy
newspaper, radio and magazine
schedules, indicate the possibility
of a fall automobile trade re-
vival, according to Automotive
Industries.
Thu 'blication added that
alth otails of these plans
are they are designed to
coU the decline in domeS'
tic deliveries of passenger
cars IA trucks noted during the
week of August II.
The current recession, it indi-
Gates, may run to as high as 20
or 30 per cent on some makes OF
cars with the probable average
about IS per cent.
On current conditions 1t ex-
poets August will be the first
month of the year to show slower
production totals for the industry
and possibly lower retail deliv-
cries than for the corresponding
month a year ago.

RETAIL TRADING
DULL IN FRISCO

Retail trade in the San Fran
cisco district showed little change
from its recent quiet condition
while special efforts were devoted
during the past week to close out
summer merchandise through the
medium of bargain sales.
Wholesale and manufacturing
business was helped to some ex.
tent by market week, which was
held last week, and most reports
indicated that moderate activity
is developing for fall goods al
though buying is still cautious.
The effects of recent strike con.
ditionS were reflected in the Fed
eral Reserve Bank report for July
on retail trade and bank debts
which showed a decrease.
The price trend on canned
fruits and vegetables and also on
dried fruits still tends toward
firmness and the outlook for the
future in these lines continues to
show improvement.
Shipments of fresh deciduous
fruits from California this season
are running far ahead of last year
as the total of July 80 amounted
to 1859 cars as against 5,016 cars
on the same date in 1888.
Changes in refrigeration through
the preceding of citrus fruits for
shipments East are saving Cali
fornia and Arizona orange grow,
ers upward of one million dollars
a year in icing charges.
Thousands of dollars worth OF
export business for Pacific Coast
apple and pear growers during
September is predicted in local
shipping circles as it is learned
that quota negotiations with
France are now being pressed.
Oakland has developed into a
bright spot in business in the San
Francisco Bay area, reporting
gains in retail trade, shipping ton
mage, automobile sales, building
permits and freight movement.
Pacific Coast building permits
in July reflected an increase over
June despite a sharp decline in
the San Francisco total.

and while this action had been ex-
pected there was some diSappoint-
ment that the distribution was
not larger.
Commodities were stronger,
wheat riSeing about cent a
bushel and cotton so cents a bale.
Bonds were mixed and the dollar
continued its recovery against for
eign currencieS.
Rail shares showed a tendency
to firm up in response to a frac-
tional gain in N. Y. Central and
AtchiSon, but activity in the group
was at a low ebb.
A little buying was sufficient to
send the mining shares higher in
the face of the absence of infla-
tionary reports. U. S. Smelling
was up as much as a point.
Steel shares, on the other hand,
displayed a sluggish tone with U.
S. Steel under pressure and the

United Aircraft opened strong,
but fell later in a furry Of liquida-

COTTON STAGES
FAIR RALLY

NEW YORK, Aug. 20 QN.S0.
The cotton market staged a fair
recovery today, following the re-
dictionary sessions of last week.
Contracts recorded initial gains
Of six to nine points, following an
advance of from four to seven
points over due prices in the LiV-
erpool market. These advances,
however, were more the result OF
lack of further selling pressure
than any aggressive buying.
AS the session progressed there
was a steady influx of demand
from the trade, both domestic and
continental, buying by Liverpool
and scattered purchases through
Wall Street and commission
houses. New Orleans and the South
sold. Hedge sales were extremely
light.
Weather continued unfavorable
for the growing crop and encour-
aged the view that the September
estimates would be lower. Texas
on Saturday rounded out the fiji
tenth week of the drought there.
Showery conditions prevailed in
the north central belt, Alabama
and the Atlantics. Showers ap-
pearing across the Mississippi
were insufficient to have any ef-
feet in the dry sections.
Late in the forenoon gains
ranged from 10 to IL points, with
October up II points at 1917, De
cember up II at 1888, and March
up 10 at 1880.

minutes to go-it was rough-and- tumble, knock-down-drag out af- fair, with big red-headed Lloyd Bayers, DeMolay c center r, almost single-handed, vainly battling the Krause club. But the winners, who hadn't been able; to hit sthe broad side of a barn in the early portions of the game, found the hoop; and the fraternal eyesight seemed blighted.
 The losers depended on speed and lightning-fast plays, but the Krause experience and size told in that final hectic last quarter.
 Individually. Capt. Paul Brown, with 13 points, Clint Heppenstall, with ten, and Nelson, with eight, stood out for the winners. Bayers, whose accurate work under the basket gave him high-point horors for the evening with Is markers, again was the DeMolay ace.
 The second fracas was a dull, uninteresting affair until, out of nowhere it seemed, the Moose five suddenly came to life. The red-shirted Bremen had been ra- thsr carelessly going about the business of winning an easy vic- tory when the ultimate winners started drive that would not be denied.
 The Bremen led at the third quarter, "A to IA. But, with four minutes to go, the Moose had managed to tie it up at 25-all, scoring eleven points in six min utes while holding their bewildered foes to but one marker. After another sixty seconds of battling, Joe Snow sunk foul, and, for the first time in the game, the Moose led. From then on it was a wild, hair-raising exhibition, with a futile three point rally by Doc Hollmann, Fireman forward, fall- ing just short of tie score as the final gun sounded.
 Capt. Jerry Ledbetter, Snow and Willie Rodenberg starred for the winners. Saving bad night for the Bremen was the stellar work of little Lawrence Hill-who was high with eleven points-and Holl- mann.
 Tonight, George Brothers travel to Douglas Natatorium for a game there, at 7:15 o'clock, with the Douglas Bremen.

 At uglas Natatcrium- George Brothers vs. Douglas Bremen at 7.15 o'clock.

In two of the finest last-half rallies which your Juneau basket ball fan has witnessed since the opening of the season, Krause Concreters and the Moose quintet bounced back into the first-half championship fight of the City Basketball League last night at Juneau High School.
 The Krause five spurted past a battling DeMolay five-which had held 17-11 lead at half time to win by a 35-to-30 count in a rough finish which had a good crowd hanging to the railings in excitement. And the Moose, af- ter letting the Juneau Bremen lead them at half-time by a 16-8 margin, turned the tables in an- other hair-raising drive to win 29 to 2S. @ @
 Take the opener, between the Krause and DeMolay clubs. Until there were only six minutes to go in the first half, the tall Con creters had held a slight lead. Then, thanks to some nifty long shots by Elmer Lindstrom, the fraternal lads forged ahead to lead by six points at the intermis- sion.
 But, in the third quarter, the lanky Krause troupe gave a slight hint of what was to come by bringing the margin up to but three points, DeMolay leading on- ly by 21 to 18
 Then the fun started. Little Sammy Nelson, hustling Krause guard, who had been held to no points in the first half, bagged three beautiful long shots-and the complexion of battle changed, Krause leading "A to 23.

 TITLE CHAN CE

LAFAY ETTE, Ind, Ncv. 21.- Thanks to some leniently-minded SC h e d ule makers and its own "tou.hdown twins" Purdue Univer- sity appears headed for a share in the Big Ten Conference champion ship.
 They gave the Boilermakers only four league games, turning down pleas for a fifth contest, and so set the stage for a probable tie with Minnesota and Illinois
 Purdue's most partisan support CTS regret the unavoidable situation of playing only four conference games more kcenly than does any one else, but Coast Noble Kizer and his equal of huskies are mak- ing the most of their lot.
 Touchdown Twins l Duane Purvis and Jim Carter, whose fame as touchdown pro- ducers was widespread long before the start of this season, are the double spearheads of the Boiler maker attack, which has demon strated it has enough punch and deception to give any team an un- comfortable afternoon. Between them they give the cash customers something to talk about with slashing dashes and long passes. When Purdue is on the of fensive, one of them generally can be counted upon to be carrying the ball during some stage of each play.
 The Boilermaksrs' spec acular passing attack has been greeted with more than ordinary success be- cause of the accuracy and length of the thows hurled by Carter and Purvis, combined with an ability of i the receiver to escape the opposi- tion's secondary.
 Two Good Ends
 But beside these two steller back field performers, Purdue boasts a pair of sterling ends in Haas and Loebs, who have distinguished themselves by their defensive tal- ents.
 Lcebs provides a problem for any opposing team each afternoon he takes to the field because of ar uncanny ability to make tackle even though he apparently hac been completely blocked out. E, E. P. o. ELKS Meeting tonight, pm. Initia. tion. Feed.

RECORDS BROKEN AT ELK
 BOWLING ALLEYS
Smith-Corona Trio, Spark Oil Heaters Smash
 Team Marks

Three all-season reords fell by the boards last night as c League bowlers were busy at Elks' Alleys. Two of the new marks were team score affairs; the other was an individual effort.
 In defeating Mojuds in three straight games, Smith-C -Coronas pill ed up a 1,547 total score for the three games. That's 516 average for each contest, which is fair country-town mixed bowling in any league. On the record breaking trio are Mrs. Marvin Hunt, Tom Selby and Ed Radde Selby did not bowl his 183-average was used. The Nugget team had held the record at ,485 before last night.
 The other team mark came when the Spark Oil Heaters, in vain attempt to save a cause already lost to Frye's Delicious, amassed ,542 points in their final game of the evening. This trio-including Mrs. Art Bringdale, pr. w. w. Council and M. E. Monagle-broke the record of 533 for single con- test held by the s & w squad. Monagle did not bowl and his average of 152 was included.
 The individual record was set when Radde accounted for 630 points at the conclusion of his nights work. This bettered the former mems three-game total of 605 points held by A. w. Henning.
 In the other match of the even- ing, Kaysers took three straight from Amocats, although the latter staged a rally in the final engage ment and was nosed out only by single point, 454 to 453
 Mrs. H. L. Faulkner, bowling for the Mojuds, was the best woman ten-pin artist last night, collecting a Hotpoint three game total, as well as hitting 165 in a single contest. Dr. Councils 226 was the best mems single game
 There will be no bowling tonight due to the weekly lodge meeting.
