STOCK MARKET
CAUTION URGED

NEW YORK, Aug. 8 G.N.S0.
Despite the predominatly conf
dent attitude Of traders toward
the market today. there are many
usually well-posted technical stud
entS who seem to feel that the
current situation is one calling for
extreme caution.
For one thing, they point out
that stocks have encountered in
creasing resistance Of late in max
ing fresh Roadway on the upside.
Saturdays fairly brisk rally is
minimized as simply one of the
usual weekend short-covering
operations without undue signifi-
canoe on the longer-term trend.
For the week as a whole, in
dustrials we're up 80 cents, rails
were exactly unchanged. while
utilities fell off lit points.
Sceptical observers seem to feel
that the July series Of spectacular
advances had taken account Of
the better.than-expected second
quarter earnings reports, improve
ment in the labor situation and
the bullish crop outlook.
Therefore, a new stimulus was
deemed necessary if any further
set of worthwhile gains were to be
chalked UP.

Treasury Policy

Q.N.S0. Claiming the Govern
ment's inactive gold hoard serves
no useful purpose" Republican
members of the House Banking
Committee signed a petition to.
day asking the Treasury to change
its policy.
The petition asked that part Of
the gold stores be applied to the
public debt and that further gold
purchases be halted until some
agreement is reached to harmon
lie international currencies.
Moreover the Republicans said
before the gold purchase plan was
inaugurated $4,000, 600. 900 worth
of gold was ample for the coun.
try's needs. Now the Governments
gold stocks, they added, total $12,-
soc, 100000.
Those who signed the petition
were Representatives Wolcott and

FARM INCOMES
TOP LAST YEAR
BY IS PER CENT
539,OOO,OOO Gain
Noted in 6 Months

Farmers have seen their in
come climb for the first six
months Of this year by $40 mil
lion dollars, or 16 1-3 per cent,
over the first six months Of last
year, with prospects for the in.
crease to climb further during
the last half of the year, the
Bureau Of Agricultural Economics
said today.
Not only did their cash income
from marketings Of farm crops
increase, but Government benefit
payments under the soil conserva-
ton act leaped upward. The cash
marketing income rose only IL
per cent, but the Governments
payments increased 95 per cent,
the bureau reported.
1O-BilliOn!Year Seen
From the sale Of principal crops
in the first half Of the year, the
farmers received So, SOB ,00O, 900 up
to the end Of June, against $685.
100000 In the first half Of last
year. From the AAA they received
$3.50, 600, 900, against $169, 0O0, 600
in the first six months Of 1895.
And the biggest part Of the
marketing year from farm prod
ucts is yet to come, for the market
ing of most of the tobacco, cotton.
wheat and corn crops comes in
the last half Of the year.
BY the end Of the year, the
farm income is expected to reach
the ten billion dollar mark.
1T is expected" the bureau re-
port said, chat farm income for
the United States as a whole, for
the last half Of the year, will con-
tinue substantially above a year
earlier"
The biggest increases in both
