INDUSTRIAL PRICES
JUMP WHILE FARM
MARKETS DECLINE
Former at New 1886 Peak.
Estimates of Drought
Damage Revised.
BY A. A. PATTON,
Associated Press Statisticiarl.

NEW YORK, August 29.-Rising
industrial activity and downward
revision in drought damage to crops
forced industrial and farm commod-
ity price trends to part ways this
week, the former jumping to q new
1885 peak, the latter dipping.
Available supplies of industrial
staples have been cut sharply in re-
cent months by the high rate of busi-
ness activity. Corporation manage
ments have kept inventories so low
that a sustained improvement-in-
dustrial activity is currently at the
mid-1930 level-sent buyers in to the
market to make up deficiencies.
The farmers principal stocks in
trade. on the other hand. have been
soaring steadily in recent months as
drought walked the Western plains,
leaving burned crops in its wake. Last
week these commodities touched the
years top.
Recent Rains Studied.
This week, however, opinions on
the harvest were reconsidered in the
light of recent rain in the parched
areas and revised upward. This led
to liquidation of many long positions.
The Associated Press weighted in
dex of wholesale commodities dropped
to 1877 per cent of the 1926 average,
from 8034 last week, and compares
with 7487 in the same week a year
ago.
All grains plunged downward on
the basis of smaller damage reports,
including corn, wheat. oats and rye.
Cotton moved of, with larger crop
prospects offsetting the high rate OF
operations in the textile industry.
Foods eased under the impetus
supplied by agricultural products
Flour, lard and butter joined the
downturn, while eggs and cocoa ad-
vanced. The latter shot up to the
highest level in three years, with
chocolate manufacturers combing the
market for sellers.
Live stock was steady, cattle and
lambs closing unchanged and hogs
losing a fraction.
Textile Prices Ease.
Textile quotations continued the
slow decline of the past month, with
trade circles holding that at least
part of the setback is due to the in
ventory position. Although not con-
sidered seriously top-heavy, it is said
to be somewhat larger than necessary.
Wool and silk shared in the reaction.
Industrial products, hides, rubber,
steel scrap, turpentine and tin were
strong.

1926 as 100, follows:

EARLY CAR MODELS.
PROVE ADVANTAGE.
Late-Year Activity Spurs
Sales and StabilizeS
Employment. <
BY DAVID J. WILKIE,
Associated Press Stafi Writer.

DETROIT, August 29.-Nearing
the end of its first working year"
under the new policy of changing
models in the Fall instead of at the
beginning Of the year, the motor
car industry is reckoning many advan-
tageS as directly due to swinging into
new type output at period that nor
mally ushers in a slack season.
For more than 80 years the motor
car industry held its annual shows
in January and while model changes
were made at various times during
the year, in a general way, new
model production was timed for the
first of -the-year show periods. AS soon
as the industry reached the volume
production stage the year-end weeks
brought lean" period for producer
and employe.
New Policies Permanent.
The feeling of the producers TO-
ward the new policy is indicated in
a statement by the Automobile Manu-
facturers' Association that the jan
uary national shows have gone per-
manently into the discard along with
many other traditions of the industry.
Specifically, the makers of motor
cars believe they have found in the
late-year activity that results from
swinging more than dozen producing
units into new model work the solu-
ton to the problem of maintaining
employment on something approXi-
mating an even level throughout the
year. They agree that retooling oper-
ations necessary to converting plants
from one model to another involves
some slowing down and some idle
ness.
Idleness Is Reduced.
At the same time under the pres
sure of a retail demand that has
seemingly been spread more complete
ly over the year, idleness has been re-
duced to only a fraction of what 1t
was under the old order that had
production and distribution almost
at a standstill in the final quarter of
the year.
The producers concede that much
of the success attending the new policy
during the past year has been due to
a larger consumer demand than they
expected. They add, however, that
barring some complication who'll
ly unlocked for at present, retail de-
mand must continue upward for a
considerable period if all the vehicles
now overdue at the scrap heap are
to be replaced.

VIRGINIA BANKERS
PROUD Of RECORD
LEADER DECLARES
James B. Dey, Jr., Points to
Showing in Periods of
UnSettIement.
BY the Associated Press.


NORFOLK, Va, August 29.-James
B. Dey, jr., president of the Virginia
Bankers Association and senior vice
president Of the National Bank OF
Commerce, declared today that Vir-
ginia bankers were proud" of the
record of financial institutions of the
State during periods of business and
economic unsettlement.
1T is very gratifying to recall the
way in which the banks Of Virginia
came through the depressaons with
which this generation is familiar
namely, 1907, 1920 and 1930-33"-he
said. This record may be attributed
to the public confidence our banks
have enjoyed and continue to hold.
1t is this confidence and feeling of
good mutual understanding that
members of the Virginia Bankers
Association value so highly and ex-
pect to maintain through pursuance
of a policy of frankness and fairness
in public service.
Fidelity to the obligation Of faith
fully protecting funds of depositors
and a broad-minded conception of
credit policies in keeping with sound
banking undoubtedly was responsible
for the fine showing the banks OF
our State made during the financial
troubles which reached a crisis in
1888, when the Presidents general
closing order found them, in the ma
jority, still open for business among
the few such exceptions throughout
the country"
Committees Announced.
Mr. Dey announced appointments
to committees of the Virginia Bank
ers' Association for the year 1867
with the comment that the association
recognizes the value of keeping the
public informed regarding the work
of the organization along broad lines
of general interest.
"a word or two about these COM
mittees through which the activities
of the association are largely con-
Quoted may be informative and in
teresting," he said.
"The agricultural committee gives
its attention to helping farmers oper-
ate along approved business lines and
under modern farming methods.
Trains Young Bankers.
"The committee on banking edu-
cation and public relations concerns
itself with the training of young bank
ers for the responsibilities they must.
assume, and through addresses in
schools and various other places, made
by representative bankers, seeks to
give the public clear understand
ing of the banking business in Its
everyday operation.
"All other committees are likewise
charged with work of constructive
character, designed to place the bank
ing business in Virginia on the highest
standard.
THE legislative committees have
worked for State and Federal laws
that would be both fair to the banks
and the public. In fact, a review OF

DEMAND FOR STEEL
STILL DISSATISFIED
Ingot Production Climbs to New
Peak for Year at 73 Per Cent,
but Lag Continues.
BY TIE Associated Press.


NEW YORK, August 29.-Con-
sumers' demand for steel products
continued unsatisfied last week. In
got production reached a new peak
for the year at 73 per cent, but the
step-up in operations was still behind
the demand.
Rolling mills are running at 30 to
100 per cent of theoretical capacity,
but despite the expansion, the flow of
new business exceed shipments, espe-
cially on sheets. shapes and plates.
Interest of the copper trade was
focused on the foreign situation.
Electrolyic for Export advanced 10
points for the week, with the upturn
rejecting the unsettled aspect of poll
tical affairs abroad and the attendant
war preparations. The domestic mar
ket was active and unchanged at 9%
cents a pound.
War talk also affected tin, with the
local market taking its cue from Lon
don. Prices at the end of the week
were "a to q cents higher. Lead was
active and firm at unchanged prices.
Zinc prices were unchanged and buyers
marked time.

LONDON, August 29.-The London
securities market pursued q remark
ably even course in a week full Of i'm
portant international events. Oper-
ators were inclined to take more op-
tim.stic view Of European develop
ments, although the announcement of
the German embargo on arms to
Spain was. counterbalanced by the
increase in the German Army.
London was entirely free from the
attack of nerves which afflicted Wall
Street and was encouraged by do
mestic industrial news, all of which
was bullish, including excellent rail
traffics, good production figures for
the leading industries. expanding re-
tail trade and favorable dividend an
nouncements.
Industrials Favored.
Hence, attention was mainly con-
centrated in the industrial section oi
the share market, with television anc
radio as the high spots, due to op-
tinistic expectations Of the Olympus
show.
The continued steady advance Of
gilt-edged issues indicates that the
pressure of money is at last beginning
to tell.
Further purchase of gold by the
Bank of England Is slowly expanding
the basis Of credit.
Thursdays Bank of England report
indicated that adequate preparations
have been made to meet this con.
tingency. Later there was resump-
ton of French boarding of British
notes, but this has now subsided.
Gold Flow Unchecked.
While the rear1nament program !!
still to be paid for, it Is assumed tha'
the government will not issue an,
more treasury bills until credit ha!
been circulated, hence the tendency
Of prices of gilt-edged issues Is prob
ably upward.
Exchanges were quiet. The golc
exodus from France is still un'
checked, but bear covering operation

traction of forward discount, indi
cate a slight improvement in senti

much in love with married my girl
friend and l want to know ii he
will ever leave her and marry
me! | think he loved me!
Ans: He did at one time. but
after he met your girl friend
then you were left out in the cold
No, he will never give her up and
return to you. Wish them happi-
ness and let this affair drop out
of your mind. There are plenty
of good fish who haven't been

=. A. il am follower OF

tell me why l have so many w0r-
ries! Advise me what to do?
Ans. You don't have anything
! more to worry about than the
average person, but you are in
clined to worry about your own
affairs and the affairs of MANY
OTHERS. Let your family worry
for themselves for if you continue
this pace, you will be dead with
old age before you reach twenty
five.
z. ID. Els it best for me to go
into business alone or with some
one else! viii this business pan
out like l think it will?
Ans: 1t is entirely whom you
choose for a business partner.
although your BROTHER-INLAW
will make you good partner.
The Dry Cleaning Business will
pay, but there are quite a few
heart aches in a business Of this
kind unless you get experienced
help.
w. II IT, am planning on
moving into a better house for
this winter but l feel sometime
That | cannot. Advise me what TO
do!
Ans; Make the change. if you
will let your WIFE handle the
bills and your pocketbook you
will be able to make your pay
envelope stretch enough to have
new house and keep your bills
paid. You will surely have to CO.
operate with her.
NJ. l.. P.-I am very interested
in a fellow who is i'm business
near me. Tell me IL he would be
interested in young woman OF
my type?
Ans: He would PRIDE your
friendship. Although 1 do not
think that he is going to fall in
love with anyone. Arrange to have
someone introduce you to this
party.
X. W.-This next year 1 am
planning on entering college and
take up music and wondered II
this Is a wise choice?
Ans: Indeed it is. anyone rs
talented as yourself would GER
tainly make a mistake not TO cul-
tivate their talent.
y. C.-ShOuld 1 make the sac
rifice for my children that 1 have
in mind and would it work out
just as l have 1t planned?
Ans: No.. things would never
work out like anyone planned. Dc
not leave your children with your
aged mother for she cannot care
for them alone. Get a job right in
your present city and leave them
in her care during the day but do
not go out of the city to live.
p. A. D.-Will l ever rid myself
Of this man?
Ans: If you leave this STATE
you probably will. He certainly
doesn't intend to let you out of
