MARKET ADVANCE
BAN|SHES GLOOM
Spending Volume of Present
Year Expected to Soar
Above 1896 Level.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 26.-With the
stock market rounding out a solid
month of advance Wall Street has
become the abiding place of much
cheer and good feeling in contrast
with the gloom and lack OF confidence
that dominated sentiment through the
Spring months
Looking back over the trail to
assess the events which released pent
up buying in the share list and at
the same time provided q new vista
OF raising profits for industry. OBJ
servers put their finger first on the
subsistence of industrial labor strife,
and next on official forecasts pointing
to a bumper wheat harvest this year.
Clearing OF the labor skies was
credited with supplying the initial
force which brought timid buyers
back to the market after a decline
which had erased large part Of the
gains accumulated in the two-year
bull swing.
After the turn lot of momentum
was supplied by patch of surveys
on prospective trade and buying power
based on the estimated crop yields.
Many thought the improved demand
for equities linked more closely to the
agricultural situation than any other
factor, although termination of the
struggle on the Supreme Court issue
appeared to put keener edge on
bullish sentiment last week.
Last year two golden streams
created great reservoir of public
spending which was an important
factor in speeding up the tempo of
trade recovery. The first was the
soldiers bonus which brought new
animation in the trade marts in the
late Spring.
Spending Of bonus money continued
to be reflected in activity in consumers
markets through the Summer, which
was marked by a considerably less
than seasonal recession in most trades.
In the last quarter Of the year came
the flow of dollars from extra divi-
dends, wage increases and employ
bonuses. representing industry's COM
promise with conditions created by the
undlstrlbuted profits tax.
Optimistic Wall Streeters think the
spending volume Of the current year
will far exceed that of 1885 in spite
Of the heavy contribution made by the
bonus. The expected large increase
in farm income should prove an effec-
tive substitute for the $4,000 100000
grant to the soldiers, it is contended.

things that we, as race and as in

morning sermon, built around the
theme: Awake thou that sleepeth,

most efficiently. Those who ATTENDED
the service can bear out the statement
that those who were not present missed
a very soul-stirring message. The
topic for the evening service "Reaping

FORD LAUDS SECOND
NAT. NEGRO CONGRESS

NEW YORK, Nov.-(CNA)-In re-
porting to the membership of the Up
per Harlem Section of the Communist
Party James W. Ford, organizer of
the party's Harlem Division and a
member of its Central Committee,
hailed the Second National Negro Con-
gress as broadening of the Peoples
Front in America. More than 30(
Communist Party members heard the
report.
Stressing the significance of the
Congress, Ford pointed out that it had
become a permanent institution, af-
fording the Negro masses the greatest
possible opportunity for unity of &C
ton.
"The National Negro Congress won
its spurs and laid firm foundation in
organizing Negro workers in the Go,
Twin-City herald. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1940, 1937-11-06

in steel, in auto, and in tobacco" said
Ford.
The Congress is built upon the or
ganizational idea of a federation of
Negro organizations, which in effect
is the Negro Peoples Front" he cor
tinued.
"But the Congress cannot be fully
understood if taken out of its national
setting. 1t represents segment of the
entire Peoples Front in America.
"The attendance at Philadelphia
shows that it is success. The accept
ance by the Negro people of its pro-
gram shows that the Negroes do want
leadership with courage and vision"
Ford praised outstanding race lead
ers for their acceptance of the idea
of unity. He named, among others, A.
Philip Randolph, international presi-
dent of the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters; John P. Davis, national
secretary of the Congress; Max Yer
gan, director of the International Com
mite on African Affairs; and Edward
Strong, executive secretary of the
Southern Negro Youth Congress.
J. w. Berry, organizer of the Upper
Harlem Section, acted as chairman.
