cheerful tone of the mid-week Iron.
Age Review a factor.
Selling in the utilities followed
the overnight news that the Ad-
ministration had completed it's
holding company legislation and
that this might be introduced
into Congress today.
Hit New Lows
United Gas Improvement sold
down to the lowest level since
1882. North American hit
new 1885 low. The others were
heavy. American Telephone lost
a point, with the uncertainty
over next weeks dividend meet
ing factor along with the
probe authorized by the Senate.
Union Pacific fell more than
a point in the rails and Atchison
was weak. Both hit new lows
for the year. Lower priced rails
met support. Little attention
was paid to improving traffic.
Motors gave ground fraction
ally but showed a better under
tone. Studebaker broke under
81 a share, reflecting continued
liquidation as a result of the
reorganization plan.
Electrical equipments were
steady, buying appearing on
slight recessions. Farm ma.
chinery and mail order shares
were firm in the face of the
new decline in grains.
TObaccOS Rally
Tobaccos displayed rallying
tendencies with small gains in
American Tobacco and Liggett g.
Myers shares ruled around the
previous close. Mining shares
were neglected and somewhat
easier, Alaska Juneau figuring in
moderate dealings.
Oils paid little attention to the
big decline in crude output last
week. Standard of New Jersey
was under further pressure.
Merchandising shares were easier
in response to spotty sales reports
for January.
The aviation list was irregular.
Food and traction issues were
quiet.

COTTON R0AMS
NARROW RANCE

NEW YORK, Feb. GN.S).
Cotton futures settled back into
a narrow range today at slightly
lower levels, after yesterdays
mark-up of almost so cents bale,
as lower grain prices and uneasi'
ness in security markets curbed
speculative enthusiasm.
Commission houses, spot firms,
and the South sold, while mill
price fixing accounted for the
bulk of the support. Far eastern
interests came into the ring for
occasional lots of cotton.
Few Changes
Conditions within the industry
are about unchanged and the be-
lief that little, if anything, will
develop from the Senate Agricul-
tural Committee conference on
exports is spreading in the trade.
This may be due to the fact that
John H. McFadden, jr., president
of the New York Cotton Elk
change, who was to have testified
before the committee, has re-
turned to New York without be-
ing heard.
Spot Demand Up
Trade interests report that
there has been fair price in
demand for spot cotton and the
mills have been extensive buy.

basis still remains firm and
very high.

Insolvency Index
Lowest in Years

Dun'S Insolvency Index for
January at 71.3 was the lowest
for that month for many years.
1t compares with 82.5 for Janu-
ary of last year and 1894 two
years ago. The change covering
the first decade of the present
decade has been very great. The
record of business failures, as
indicated by the insolvency in
dex, advanced from 1885 in 1929
to 1888 in 1882.
The former was about a nor
NAL number, but the latter was
only slightly under the highest
figure in three-quarters Of a
century.

STATISTICS SHOW TREND IN
POTATO PRODUCTION IN N. c.

Washington, October Ex-senator
Bailey assigned as his chief reason
for supporting the Warren potato
act, which the next Congress is al
most certain to amend, the fact that
production control in other fields, such
as cotton and tobacco, had led to an
abnormal increase in the acreage de-
voted to potatoes. Subsequently the
AAA issued a statemen minimizing
the Importance of the reported shift
in acreage, but the farm census, pre-
limirary reports of which are now
being made available, indicate that in
a number of the counties in North
Carolina, if not in other states, the
farmers are turning more and more
to potato production.
The census reveals Beaufort as the
leading Irish potato county in the
state. Acreage and production of
Irish potatoes in Beaufort county
more than doubled, increasing from
