Hubert Wallace was just deb

you be?

modify prices nudged ahead slightly

tations the brightest spot in the list.
With the industry operating at ap-
proximately capacity and many mills
sold well In 1887, a distinct scarcity
of cotton cloth for nearby delivery
boosted this classification to stable
premiums over future shipments.
The huge buying wave Of the past
fortnight found mill stocks at very
low levels. Operators were unable to
step up production to meet the de-
mand, trade quarters say. because the
prof1tless decade and more just past

and spindleS in use. A survey by the
Association Of Cotton Textile Mer-
chants Of New York q short time ago
disclosed that 1877 per cent of the
installed spindles had been relegated
to the junk pile in this period.
Wool Prices Also Up.
Wool prices, as we'll as cotton cloth,
were carried up by eager purchasers.
Silk declined fractionally. with ia

UTILITY FINANCE
PROBLEM TANGLED
Parent Company Owns Most Of
Bonds and Hesitates to Re-
fund Them.
Ey the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, October l0.-A
glimpse at the knotty problems with
which finance committees of corpo-
rations sometimes joust was revealed
today in question bothering the
chairman Of the board of utility
company, who preferred to go I'M
named as he told this story.
The company has a number o,
subsidiaries, the bonds of one of which
are in an excellent position for re-
funding into lower coupon issues
The parent company, however. owns
all but a few of the outstanding
obligations and the question posed
is whether to sacrifice the relatively
high interest income it receives in
order to take advantage of present
low money rates.
Not wishing to miss the oppor-
tunity of refunding the bonds. and
at the same time loath to surrender
high-interest bonds for low ones, he
Is wondering how much longer he
can delay the operation without
having to pay more for money.

Disappointed,
Max Sails For
Native Land

NEW YORK, Aug. ga disap-
pointed Max Schmeling was en-
route to his native Germany today
aboard the liner Bremen.
His scheduled heavyweight cham
pionship brawl with Jimmy Brad
dock off until next June, the Teu-
ton Schlager is fearful that even
then he won't get the opportunity
to achieve his supreme ambition
regain the title.
Schmeling boarded the Bremen
last midnight, a short time after
Braddock'S manager, Joe Gould,
announced he had signed articles
for Jersey Jim to defend his crown
against Max in Madison Square
Garden bowl on June or June 10,
1887. But Schmeling was none
too optimistic the fight would ever
come off.
"a lot can happen between
now and June" ne commented
wryly.
All hope of a Braddock- Schmel-
ing bout next month vanished yes
terday when the boxing commits
sion received the official medical
report on the champions physical
condition. The report, based on
findings by DR.. Fred Albee, dis
closed that Braddock is suffering
from arthritiS in the little finger
of the left hand and in both
elbows.
The commission didn't officially
call off the bout. They ordered
Braddock to return for another
examination on the fifteenth OF
next month. This was tanta-
mount to a cancellation, as obvi-
ously even if Braddock were pro-
nounced fit then he couldn't get
in shape in time for an outdoor
fight this year. And no promoter
would want to stage a heavy
weight title bout indoors.
Five minutes after the commits
sion announced it's decision,
Schmeling booked passage for
Germany on the Bremen.
Commissioner Bill Brown as
sured Schmeling that Braddock
would not be permitted to fight
any man until he had first de-
Tended his title against the knock
out conqUeror of Joe Louis.
Braddock, who was at the COM
mission offices when the doctor
delivered his report, insisted he
was sincere in his desire to go
through with a September bout,
ailment or no ailment.
Mike Jacobs thought he might
swing a Louis and Schmeling
bout for September but Schmel-
ing didn't want to endanger his
chance at getting a crack at
! Jim's crown.
