MOMENTUM

NEW YORK, Aug. l UN.S).
Continuing last weeks imprave'
ment, retail trade this week re-
covered much of the vigorous pace
of May and June.
Closing July with the strongest
consumer demand recorded in the
last six years, the majority Of
cities reported sales 5 to 10 per
cent above last week. This lifted
estimated volume for the country
as a whole IL to 20 per cent ahead
of the 1885 period.

ment in textile mill operations and
the tourist trade, showed gains Of
is to 20 per cent above last year.
Increase in the East was Is to
18 per cent over last year, in the
West % to Is per cent, and in the
South Is to 20 per cent.
Much of the weeks buying was
centered in jewelry, silverware,
radios and pianos. August furni-
ture events opened while interest
in furs was unabated. There was
also an abrupt rise in sales Of
canned goods and packaged foods.
Formal launching of the fall
season in major wholesale markets
maintained volume to the larger
proportions of last week. In nearly
all lines, merchandise was assem-.
bled in preparation for the heavi-
est consumer demand since 1929.
Volume for the country as whole
was 20 to 35 per cent over the
1885 comparative.

COTTON PRICES
HOLD STEADY .

NEW YORK, Aug. 1 U.N.s1.
During the late forenoon trading
cotton prices continued steady, on
moderate volume.
Wall Street and professional
buying outweighed selling from
Southern spot houses.
The buying side was composed
of the Continent, Wall Street, pro-
teSSionalS and the trade. The
South spot houses and New Orleans
supplied the staple.
The closed Liverpool cotton mar
ket had quieting effect on the
domestic staple prices.
A summary of weather during
the past week indicated that bene-
ficial rains had fallen in many
parts of Texas. However, part Of
the Texas belt is still complaining
OF an overabundance of moisture,
and the Oklahoma crop suffered
from excessive temperatures.

NEW RECOVERY
PEAK SEEN

Industrial production schedules
were maintained throughout July
at considerably higher levels than
had been generally expected,
according to Standard Statistics
Company. In consequence, the
Standard Statistics Company in
dex Of industrial production is ex-
pected to reach a new high for
the entire recovery period, the firm
said, adding:
"High operating rates in the
automobile, steel, electric power,
lumber and cotton industries,
largely account for the esti-
mated July index of 85.8, after
seasonal correction, which COM
pareS with a previous high of
85.3 reached in May, and with
68.2 in July, 1885,. While opera
tiOns in the consumers goods
industries have held thus far
this summer at generally high
rates, the further expansion in
the capital goods industries is
Of particular significance.
"Steel operations, which were
expected to SubSide rather rap
idly after the middle of July,
were maintained throughout the
full month at approximately 10
per cent of capacity. Only a
relatively small decline is looked
for during August and an Operat-
ing rate much below so per cent
Of capacity is not expected.
Gradually increasing operations
are in prospect for the fall"

OUT FOR CONGRESS

William CoXon, of Casa Grande,
former member of the State Legis-
lature and Secretary of the Corpor-
alton Commission, who a few days
ago, informed friends he will be
a candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Congressman, yes
terday made the following state
ment:
"To the voters of Arizona I re-
spectfully submit my candidacy for
the office being vacated by Mrs.
Greenway, that of Arizona's repre-
sentative in Congress.
although my keen interest in
AriZOna's welfare has never for an
instant been abated, my intention
was not to be a candidate in this
campaign; for I am really not fl
nancially able to conduct a
thorugh, statewide campaign. Since
however, no other candidate has
entered the field who seems to
stand for the principles to which
I have devoted my entire adult
life-the welfare of the rank and
file Of Arizona's citizens-I cannot
stand by and see the office pass
to other interests by default.
my position on the various So
cial and economic issues before the
state and nation will be defined
as opportunity arises"
Mr.. CoxOn was "a member of the
eighth, ninth, and tenth Legisla-
lures. and served as Secretary of
the Corporation Commission from
1881 to 1888. Since 1888 he has
been freight agent for the South
ern Pacific at Casa Grande, and

ator of Projects for the City Of
