Market MOVES
AHEAD AGAIN
after SETBACK
Receivers From Spell Of
Profit aking
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, oct. 5 Q.N.S0.
The stock market today resumed
it's advance, which was checked
by profit-taking yesterday after
six straight rises.
Gains ran to a point and more
through the general list, with
several representative issues climb
ing into new high grounds for
the year. Trading was at a mod
erately active pace and leaders
moved up steadily from the open,
ing.
POUND, FRANC EASIER
While there still was some an.
xiety abroad over the French ii.
nancial and labor situation, the
Paris Bourse was quiet and mixed.
Other security markets across the
Atlantic displayed a generally
steady tone.
Foreign exchange dealings were
featureless with the British pound
and French Franc a shade easier
Stocks were quietly improved at
the start and, as the session pro
gressed, buying picked up in
volume and initial gains were
gradually extended all along the
line. Motors, steels, rails, cop
perS, aviations, and rubbers were
prominent on the advance.
NEW 1898 HIGHS
The list of new 1888 highs in
cluded U. S. Rubber and Philip
Morris, each up more than q
point; Greyhound, Kennecott,
American Radiator, and Certain
Teed products.
Case and Cerro De Pasco turned
in gains of better than 2 points
but margins elsewhere were limited
to point or more. In the latter
classification were U. S. Steel
Chrysler, Santa Fe, Chesapeake
and Ohio, Westinghouse Electric
Montgomery Ward, American
Smelling, Johns-Manville, Ameri
can Can, Air Reduction, Ameri
can Telephone, Douglas Aircraft
and American Car and Foundry

Iernmental expenditures for ma
tional defense and that this may
Icurtail the placing Of such con-
tracts here.
I, for one, do not believe that
Britain, for example, will abandon
her farreaching armament pro-
gram. Premier Chamberlain'S
declaration on this point can be
accepted without qualification.
Nor is anything our own chief
executive may urge likely to have
potent influence on European
statesmen.
The reasonable prospect, there
fore, is that business and indus
trial activity in Europe will ex'
pand rather than contract.
Moreover, the Anglo-American
trade pact, which doubtless would
have been shelved by war, now is
likely to be concluded, for veal
or for woe, in the near future.
PEACE AND PROSPERITY
Peace promises to boost pros
perity here. The stock market
was quick to recognize this. Quo
tationS scared sensationally the
moment the European deadlock
was broken. Although it is too
early to obtain corroborative sta
tiStics, trustworthy reports reveal
that retail trade Immediately i'm
proved.
In my opinion, the whole Ameri-
can outlook has become distinctly
more encouraging. Assuming that
Europe will not inject new alarms,
opportunity will be provided for
reappraising our domestic pros
poets.
The conclusions reached are GER
tain to be reaSsuring.
Betterment in Europe and bet
terment here would-let us hope,
will-supplement each other.
1t is entirely justifiable to rea-
Ion that the last quarter of this
year will rank first businesswiSe
and that the market worth Of rep
utable American securities will
trend upwards provided of
course, the November 8 voting is
in accordance with the expecta-
ton that there will be a substan-
tial increase in the number Of
lawmakers opposed to Govern
ment harassing of business.

RAIN is NEEDED
BY FARMERS IN
MANY SECTIONS

UN.S.) The nations crop
weather contraSted sharply in diff
ferent sections of the country dur
ing the past week, the U. S
Weather Bureau reported today in
its weekly crop bulletin.
Abnormally cool weather pre-
vailed along the Atlantic Coast
and in the upper Ohio Valley and
the eastern lake regions, while
one of the warmest weeks on rec
ord for the season was noted in
the central and northern portions
of the midweStern area. The larg
est rise in temperature was noted
lin Oklahoma and northwestern
| Texas.
RAIN BADLY NEEDED
Some freezing weather occurred
from the interior of the northeast
as far South as south-central New
York and in the mountain sections
of western Maryland and West
Virginia, with heavy to killing
IfroStS in many other Appalachian
Mountain districts. Freezing
weather also occurred in the Great
Basin and the Rocky Mountain
sections.
Rain is needed over the greater
portion of the country.
In most Eastern and North
eastern sections the soil is in fav
orable condition for ploWing, seed
ing and for early seeded grains
while in Western areas, which haC
heavy September rainfall, condi
tionS are also generally favorable
Otherwise there is a need Of moiS
ture in nearly all sections East
Of the Rocky Mountains.
CROPS DELAYED
Cool weather somewhat de
layed maturity of late crops ir
the more Eastern states. The
Northeastern frosts did only min
or damage as most crops were
mature.
Small grains, including wheat
need rain in the plains states anc
the Northwest, the Mississippi
Valley and locally to Eastward
The week was ideal for maturing
late corn and for drying the cror
in general. It was also generally
good for cotton in most areas.

it undesirable for businessmen to
borrow or invest in business. $50
business loans fallD
Second, "the Government" then
proceeds to borrow itself and, to
facilitate the process, it Seizes
control of the Reserve Banks. AS
a result, it forces upon the banks
huge masses of its obligations, u
which are carried as invest.
ments" by the banks. They can t
make any large amount of loans
because businessmen can't Dor.
row, so they have to take Govern.
ment debt and accept the very
low interest it pays.
DEPOSITS "CRCATED"
In short, if you want a picture
of the "collectivism" which has
crept like paralysis over Ameri.
can business and over the employ
menC of American labor, just look
at the bank statements.
In at least two ways, the Gov
ernment creates" these deposits
in the banks: Cd 1t buys the large
amount of gold that comes to the
banks in this country, paying for
it with deposit credits" (2)
When it spends, scattering around
Government checks drawn on the
reserve banks, the checks are de-
posted in the banks by the final
recipients.
Then, after becoming the big
gest borrower and spender in his
tory, the New Deal Administration
turns to speculation. They drive
private speculation out; but they
themselves proceed to gamble in
real estate, cotton, silver, and for
eign exchange, and their own Sc
curities, in a way to make such
plungers as Letter, Cutten, and
Livermore look like pikers.
You and I" will pay the bills.

WALLACE KILLS
HOPE FOR BOOST
IN COTTON LOANS
Frozen Surplus BaIks
Wheat Plea, Too

QN.SD.-Farm state senators
today abandoned all hope for a
boost in the cotton and wheat
loans as they received word that
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
is backing the stand taken by
his subordinateS at the recent
Southern cotton senator's con-
ference.
Although the conference called
by Senator Smith CD of South
Carolina. was told by subordin-
ates of wallace that the Depart
ment's position was unchanged,
a special resolution addressed to
Wallace was adopted.
WALLACE DEAF TO PLEA
Since his return to Washington
Wallace has informed Senators
that no immediate change is
planned in the AAA program.
A new movement tor passage,
early in January, of a Congress
sional subsidy on the 1888 cotton
and wheat crops is expected to
get under way.
Meantime, wallace and his
aides redoubled their efforts to
dispose of huge farm surpluseS In
foreign markets.
Senator Russell (DO of Georgia,
announced that he would support
Wallace's proposal for enactment
of processing taxes in the next
session of Congress to increase
payments to farmers.
I'm willing to support pro
, cessing taxes provided they are
fair, and compensatory taxes
are levied on products, such as
jute and rayon, that compete
with cotton" said Russell.
MUST RAISE INCOME
We've got to get money
somewhere to raise the income
of farmers. 1 believe that re-
vival of processing taxes would
have considerable support
among Senators from farm
States"
Wallace, according to Senators
who have conferred with him,
holds that the loan value on cot
ton-now 8.3 cents a pound-can-
not be raised so long as 1000, ,OOO
bales of cotton are frozen" in
Government hands.
An increase in the cotton loan,
he holds, would wreck chances
of recapturing the export mar
ket.
A high Administration source,
detailing efforts of the Govern
ment to sell cotton and wheat
abroad, said plans are being de
veloped with the hope of selling
huge supplies to China and
Japan.
BRITISH AID SOUGHT
Under this plan, it was said.
cotton would be sold to China
and wheat to Japan. The same
source insisted that Jesse H.
Jones, chairman of the RFC, en-
tered into secret negotiations
with British bankers while in
England in the hope of obtaining
financial aid for the export plan.
British bankers were contacted
because of heavy British inter
ests in Japan.
Russell, who said he doubted
reports of the ChneSe-Japa-
neSe negotiations, expressed be
lief that best hope for exports
of agricultural products lies ir
expansion of the Administration
reciprocal treaty policy.
He added that there have beer
rumors that Germany, once
Americas best cotton customer
would again enter the cottor
market.
