Stocks AdDanced As Business InlproDed
Adjustment Was Made to Supreme Court Decision on
 NRA---Last Week Was Busy One for Market

merce commission over all forms of transportation.
 Many traders look for recovery in business soon. Such pickup, they argue, would aid the rail- roads more than any artificial gov- ernment stimulus. Car loadings for the week ended June declined from the previous week because of the holiday but made a better than seasonal showing. Railroad stocks gained l to points for the week, their strength sustaining the main list.
 Stock buying was selective, with the main business done in issues whose companies had good earn. ings outlook. The demand for American Telephone was based on belief the dividend would be re tained and that earnings were picking up because of gains in telephone stations by subsidiaries.
 Traders felt the Wheeler Ray burn utility bill would be modified before passage and bought utility shares. Those who anticipated passage of the measure looked for immediate court action on the part of the utility companies that would quickly bring supreme court de- cision.
 Congressional tenure was less worrisome as the week drew to a close. Market operators looked for more careful scanning of laws for constitutional defects before en- actment. It appeared as if the MIRA would be extended for 9 months in the skeleton form asked by the president.
 Legislative items still containing uncertainties for the financial ocm- munity are the banking act of 1895 and the wagner labor bill.
 France left the realm of uncer- tainties temporarily late last night when the chamber of deputies voted confidence in the new Laval government, giving it practical dic- tatorial powers in coping with the monetary situation. Britain changed it's government but the change had in it no difiiculties for the financial, world. As matter of fact, the new cabinet is said to lean to better Anglo-American re- lations, which Wall street thinks is highly beneficial.

 Still of Much Value
 Clevcrly concealed in a tower that resembled coal pocket and in adjoining sheds, the still was valued at from $25,000 to $60.000 by Chief Inspector Joseph c. .O'Kane of the alcohol tax division, internal revenue bureau. The 150O-gallon still, supplemented by completely modern apparaturs in- cluding such features as Q buzzer system, air conditioning and spe- cial' cooling, was capable of an enormous output daily.
 No One Was Present
 When the government swooped down on the place last month, the still was found in full operation but none of the operating crew was at hand. Investigation by federal men subsequently showed that a city water main had been tapped by the still operator. The rear of the shed containing the huge mash vats faced on railroad siding while at one side was truck loading platform, making incoming and outgoing shipments easy to receive and send.
 The federal mems investigation is believed to have been centered on the tracing of the materials used in distilling alcohol and or the boards and composition used in building additions to the tower and sheds to provide more room for the distillery.

a conference has been found.
 Italy Still Unwilling

ambassador. But no basis for such a conference has been found.
 Italy Still Unwilling
 Italy is still unwilling to accept anything less than 8 blanket over- lordship of Ethiopia as a basis for discussion of peace plan. Com petent circles here, though recog- nizing Italy's need of colonial expansion, terms this demand impossible"
 Moreover, whereas Italy wants to continue negotiations on the basis of 1906 French-Italian- British treaty solely, Britain insists that any settlement must also be founded on the Briand- Kellogg treaty-the pact of Paris, in which world nations with tongues in their cheeks, renounced war as a means of settling disputes.
 Prevent Oyerlordship
 On its face, the 1906 treaty re- ferred to would prevent an Italian overlordship rather than to permit one, for it was 'to maintain intact the integrity of Ethiopia" How ever, when it was negotiated it was apparent that it was meant to prevent any single nation from winning advantage. Its first article pledged the signatory nations to maintain the political and terri torial status quo and, if the status quo were disturbed, to cooperate to safeguard their special interests.
 Great Britain's hesitance to &C., cept complete Italian domination Is understandable because the Anglo Egyptian Sudan, British Uganda, and British East Africa border on Ethiopia on the west and south, and Lake Tsana in western Ethiopia, is to be the start of an irrigation project which will water the Nile valley.
 Italians Are Fleeing
 Vienna, July 20 = (UP)-Ital- ians are fleeing by scores daily across the Jugloslavian and Aus trian frontiers to escape army service, the United Press learned today.
 Coupled with news of the de- sertions were reports from refu- gees of important Italian military movements on the Jugoslavian border~and construction of trench es which might be used if Aus tria, Europe's diplomatic heart. involved its neighbor nations in war,

asking the non-suspccting public to give ear to the fact" that $2.500, has already been raised of this. one contribution was for $500 from one individual. Like the needle in the haystack, this bene- ficient person has not been found and his name Is a myth.
 Reports Scoffed At
 Reports of financial support are scoffed at because MT. John Voter. as the public knows, is not send ing a boy on a mans errand and neither is he nor anyone else send ing good money after bad money.
 Old-time leaders in the republi- can and democratic party express sympathy for those following the banner of Attorney Tobin because while they admit everyone's right to aspire for office or recognition, yet these readily sense a situation where these adherents are being led to slaughter" by delft hands and glib tongues.
 Strategy in Sight
 Reposing quietly in the plans of tAlC a6lic ACduSIS VI tIlS luuSQGuuCHL democratic party is motive which many on the sidelines are now sensing with the fullest of signif- icance. and that Is, coupe, where by the Tobin. cohorts plan at the strategical moment to openly pro- claim and indorse William J. Pape's nominee on the g.o.p. ticket, that is. the one he will back. That's the trick they have up their sleeves, many say. and this trick is what they are politely re- ferring to now as "the big sur prise."
 Betting on all sides is that the Tobin- n-Sheehan- Hartley and Connor followers will never offer a list of candidates and that when the time comes for 1t. that they will. with a blare of drums. conceal their weak organization by jumping on Mir. Pape's band-wagon and cry to the high heavens that Pape's g.o.p. choice Is theirs.
