STOCK AVERAGES
BY VICTOR EUBANK,


NEW YORK, August 28.-The stock
market was in an uncertain frame Of
mind today.
After making an unsuccessful at
tempt to sell off during early trading,
it settled down to an irregular trend,
with small gains and losses about
evenly divided. The closing tone was
irregular. Sales approximated 1,400,-
900 shares.
Other financial markets acted in
concert with equities. Wheat ended
a trifie lower after showing steadiness
during early transactions. corn was
mixed and oats were quiet. Cotton
got off on the right foot but made little
progress in either direction. Corpo-
rate bonds slipped backward, but U. S.
Governments steadied. Foreign cur
rencies were about a stand-off.
Other than the heavy selling furry
that hit stocks shortly after trading
got under way and which was checked
almost as quickly by selective support,
there was little feature to the market.
II any one group stood out against
the others it was utilities, for which
support was first to appear and for
which it seemed to be of a more per-
sistent nature than in other divisions.
Commonwealth and Southern pre-
ferred was a particularly firm spot,
with a gain of more than a point.
Among other shares ending in the
plus column, mostly with fractional
gains, we're Inland Steel, Chrysler
Yellow Truck. Consolidated Gas,
North American, Otis Steel, American
Water Works and eolumbia Gas.
Small losses were made by National
Steel, United States Steel. Bethlehem,
General Motors, Goodyear. Montgon-
cry Ward, Greyhound Spiegel-May-
Stern and Columbian Carbon.

c. W. CARTER HAS RETURNED FROM VACATION SOUTH
Juneau Business Man At
 tends Lodge Session and { Visits San Diego Fair

Alter a vacation trip of nearly a month during which he visited along, the Pacific Coast from Se- attle as far south as Agua Caliente, O, w. Carter, of the Q. w. Carter Mortuary, returned home this morn ing on the steamer North Sea.
 MT. Carter spent the minimum time possible in travelling as he made the round trip to Los Angeles from Seattle by plane In speaking of the rapidity and case of plane travel, MT. Carter said that the most outstanding thing on his whole trip was the tremendous ad- vance in air transportation in the last three years. "The entire serv- ice up and down the coast is the last word in comfort, efficiency and courtesy and considering the diff ference in time and extra cost of train travel is no more expensive" he said.
 On his way south MT. Carter vis- tied with his daughter, Mrs. Lenora Tisdale, in Seattle for two days be- fore leaving for the south. Going south, he boarded the plane in Se- attle about 6 o'clock in the morn ing and was in Los Angeles at 2:15 o'clock the same afternoon. He remained in southern California for a week with his second daughter, Mrs. Don Skuse.
 Mis Nut,is. tc.cny
 They drove to San Diego and spent a day at the Fair where they took in everything but the nudist colony. From San Diego MT. Carter and his daughter motored to Tia Juana and Agua Caliante. It was MT. Carter's first trip across the Mexican border and he said that though the repeal of prohibition had evidently hurt business at the . famous Agua Caliente resort, it was well kept up and very beautiful.
 The San Diego Fair, in the love- ly setting of Balboa Park, promises to be one of the outstanding affairs of it's kind held in the country, ac- cording to MT. Carter. Several buildings and concessions were not
