HOG PRICES HELP
CANADIAN FARMERS
Lard Higher and Exports Soar.
Hogs May Be Shipped to
U. S. Despite Duty.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
TORONTO, Ontario, August 10
Efforts Of the United States Govern
ment to raise farm prices have re-
suited in higher lard prices in Can
ada and a sharp increase in Canadian
lard exports.
In the first six months Of 1885
Canada exported 100000 pounds Of
lard to the British market, compared
to 74,60o pounds in the same period
of 1884. Previous to 1885 the United
States had the major call on the
British market for lard.
Local live stock men are studying
the possibility Of shipping Canadian
hogs to the United States. The Chi
cago price for hogs is about 50 higher
than the Toronto price, but there is a
duty of to 3 cents pound on
Canadian hogs. Live stock men say
that If the United States price goes
to a dollar a hundredweight more
than the Canadian price plus the
duty, it will be profitable to ship hogs
to the United States markets, espe-
ciallly to Buffalo.
A similar duty on live cattle was
overcome In January and large
number of cattle has been exported
monthly since then.

RECOVERY CHEERS
PLUMBING FIRMS
Prices Raised as Volume
Reaches Highest Point
in Two Years.
Ry the Associated Press.

by tne Associated FIeSS.
CHICAGO, August 10.-Evidence Of
a rising market in the plumbing and
heating industries is found in price
increases for major commodities re-
Gently announced by manufacturers
the plumbing and heating industries
bureau said today.
Unprecedente6..y low prices have
prevailed in the industry the bureau
pointed out, and this stimulus and the
modernization program of the Federal
Housing Administration, combined
with the realization that the upward
trend in the market is definitely ur-
der way, has resulted in public pur-
chasing of plumbing equipment in
greater volume than at any time in
the last two years.
Another important factor in the up
ward turn in the industry is the op-
portunity for plumbing sales created
by the construction of waterworks
and sewage systems in many towns
and villages, the bureau said.
The result is, the bureau said, that
many of the manufacturing plants in
the industry are working at full Ca
pacity. The Standard aSnitary Manu-
featuring Co. has resumed operations
at its Pittsburgh and Baltimore plants,
which have been closed for years.
More than 3,100 men are being en-
ployed at the Kohler plant in Kohler,
Wis. Crane Co reports increased
operations at its enamelware plant in
Chattanooga, Tenn, and its pottery
plant at Trenton, N. j.
The price increase on bathtubs,
sinks and other enamel ware prod
ucts ranges from As per cent to %
per cent, the average advance being
approximately o per cent, the bu-
reau said.
An average price increase of 10
per cent on pottery items affects
staple types of closet bowls and tanks.
Despite these increases, the bureau
pointed out, prices Of stable plumb
ing fixtures are still low compared
to the advance that has taken place
in the prices of most other COM
modities. Many of the stable plumb
ing items are selling for less than at
any time in the last twenty years, the
bureau said survey disclosed.

GOLD FLOW ADDS

NATIONS SUPPLY
Rise of 118 Millions a Month
Since Naturalization of
Metal Recorded.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFER,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

-ASSOSAANSN
The Nations gold supply has in
creased at the rate of $4,000, 900
each month, or 50, ,12s 900 900 since the
metal was nationalized February 1,
1884.
Prior to devaluation, there had
been a steady shrinkage of gold
stock during the Roosevelt admin
istration. The supply diminished
from s4,344 100000 on March 3, 1888,
to S4,034 100000. Devaluation boosted
the stock to s7o29. 900. 900 and it has
risen steadily ever since. amounting
en- August to s9.l58, 600. 900.
On the basis of quantity. the in
crease has been from 213.400 900
ounces to 261, 500 900 ounces since
President Roosevelt took office, and
from l95, 100000 ounces since deval-
uation of the dollar.
Cut in Dollar Cited.
The main factor in the increase
was the reduction in the weight of
the gold dollar from 25.8 to Is 5-21
grains of gold, nine-tenths fine. which
Immediately produced profit" or in
crement of s2,s08 900, 900 to the
Treasury.
In the meantime, however, gold has
been pouring into the country unin-
terruptedly due to operations Of the
stabilization fund which has kept the
dollar greatly undervalued in terms of
foreign currencies.
The movement also has been aided
by this country's favorable trade bal
ance in international commerce. An
important inward flow of gold has
resulted from foreign investments in
this country by Europeans alarmed
over political. budgetary and none
tary problems in the gold bloc coun-
| tries.
Operations Kept Secret.
The stabilization fund of $4,000
000,0 900 was authorized by the gold re-
serve act of 1884 and was created out
Of profits" arising from devaluation
of the dollar. Its operations are
shrouded in the deepest secrecy, with
Secretary Morgenthau as its Gus
todian, acting with the concurrence of
President Roosevelt.
Operations are conducted through
the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York, which was credited with $780,
900 900 of the original fund. The re-
mainder is carried in the Treasury and
presumably remains untouched
A total of about $3.50, ,000, 900 was
added to the country'S gold stocks
during June, most of which came from
France. This occurred during the
period when the United States went
to the aid of the wabbling franc by
supplying dollars to French author
tiles.
The Reserve Board has estimated
that the three gold countries OF
France, Netherlands and Switzerland
alone lost more than $1,000, o,000,o 900 In
gold last Spring, much Of which
eventually found its way to the United
States.

There have been signs in the mar
ket for high-grade investments that
buyers of such obligations are be-
ginning to question the permanency
of current fancy prices. The flood of
new corporation issues has led to a
mild condition Of securities indi-
gestion.
Underwriters say that the low
coupon industrial bonds, the latest
feature of company financing, have
all been well taken. Dealers lists
frequently tell a different story. And
this Is not strange for a 3& or 4 per
cent bond of a manufacturing or dis
tributing company, with previously
medium cerdit, is no more q bargain
than were common stocks in 1929
that sold at price many times their

The Treasury bond market has

that the safest securities in the world
