Economic Stability
Held Not Based Alone
On Money Volume
Chester c. Davis Makes
Observation Before
Cooperation Group
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, Aug. "a member of
the Board of Governors of the Fed
eral Reserve System told the Amer
lean Institute of Cooperation to-
day that changes in money volume
in themselves could not accomplish
economic stability
Discussing what he termed the
widely held belief that price levels
may be raised or lowered at the
will of monetary authority by
increasing or decreasing the guam
tity of money" Chester c. Davis
of Washington said:
'Iet me state as emphatically
as I know how my conviction that
it is the Governments response
bility to prevent harmful changes
in the volume of money. I be-
lieve this responsibility should be
administered through a central au-
thority backed by co-ordinated ac-
tion on the part of all Government
agencies whose policies affect the
money supply.
But I do not want to deceive
either myself or any one else into
believeing that by this means alone
economic stability can be had.
Money Not Being Used.
"The record seems to make it
fairly clear that price levels in re-
cent years have not followed changes
in the volume of money. The level
of commodity prices is low now not
Withstanding the fact that the guam
tity of money, no matter how de-
fined, is larger today than it ever
has been in the history of this
country.
''The trouble is that this large VOL
ume of money is not being used as
actively as money has been used in
past periods OF greater business &C
tlvity. The reasons for that slower
turnover OF money are many ana
widespread, and they are not strictly
monetary in nature A monetary au-
thority could do little or nothing
about them
The speaker said he did not be-
lieve the country 'in our time"
would return to the so-called auto
matte gold standard" OF currency.
Hits New Deal Reformers.
A New York dairyman today ac-
cused New Deal reformers, reac-
tionary economists and international
bankers" OF defeating "the only
program that has materially assisted
agriculture, business and investors"
In an address before the instl-
tute, Fred H. Sexauer, president OF
the Dairymen's League Cooperative
Association, Inc, of New York City,
declared:
I'VE can look back at five years
of desperate effort on the part of
New Deal reformers and reactionary
Wall Street cooperating to throw
smoke screen of propaganda,
villification, catchwords, like money
tinkering,' to discredit the Warren
monetary program"
The Warren program, he ex-
planned, was evolved by the late DR..
George F. Warren of Cornell Uni
versity and postulated that the
major factor in basic commodity
price level changes was the value

FLORIDA CITRUS
PACT APPROVED

G.N.S.) The Department of Ag-
riculture today announced tenta-
tive approval by Secretary Wal
lace OF a marketing agreement for
the Florida citrus industry.
The agreement provides for
grade and size regulation of
Florida grapefruit, oranges and
tangerines, in order that the in
dustry may keep grades and sizes
of fruit which result in losses to
growers off the markets.
The program would be admin
iStered by committee of grow.
ers named from nominees elected
by growers. with the assistance
of a committee of shippers.
Growers will vote shortly in a
referendum to determine whether
they favor issuance of an order
embodying terms of the agree
ment to make the program ef-
fective.
Copies of the agreement are
being sent to Florida citrus hand
lers for signature, the department
reported.

ROOSA REGAINS
DRUG co. POST

CLEVELAND, Jan II G.N.S).
F. T. Roosa, Cleveland, today
again was president of the Mutual
Drug Company, less than three
weeks after his office was de-
clared vacant and L. L. Van
Setback, Chicago, named in his
place.
At a meeting in a Cleveland
hotel, directors of the company, a
wholesale drug house, voted to
rescind the action taken in a Chi
cago meeting December 20. At
that time Van Setback was elected
in Roosa's place and it was de-
cided to write down the value of
the preferred stock from $3.50 to
SO per share. In yesterdays meet
ing the write-down was abandoned,
as were plans for floating a $780,
900 bond issue.
Van Setback, in a letter to
stockholders, had contended the
preferred stock should be written
down because equity in subsidiaries
was carried on the books at more
than its actual value. RooSa said
this was not so, and that the
value of the books was lower than
the purchase price of equity.
Roosa had been president of the
company for Is years. Most Of
the stockholders are druggists who

You men of affairs are being

Congress, to demonstrate
whether you are capable of

system function effectively.

arise an irresistible demand for

STOCK RALLIES
FAIL IN DAY Of
SLOW TRADING
Attempt at Recovery
Soon FizzIeS Out
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Jan. IT G.N.S).
Rallying attempts in the stock
market today again were unsuc-
ceSStuI, after the list had opened
On a generally easier note. The
market had a somewhat mixed
appearance late in the forenoon.
Price changes were generally of
minor proportions. Trading was
sluggish, with 10000 shares
changing hands in the first hour.
Utilities paced a mid-morning
rally, with rails participating to
a lesser extent. While many issues
in these two groups maintained
modest gains later, the general re-
covery attempt fizzled almost be-
fore it got started.
STEEL ORDERS PENDING
The days news contained ma
Iterial to influence the price trend
in stocks, although the street
hears that some fair-sized orders
for structural steel are pending.
Abroad, markets with few ex-
IceptionS continued to lose ground.
Paris and Amsterdam were prac-
ticularly weak. The British
pound sterling was shade higher
in mixed foreign exchange deal
Iings.
Steels, motors, building shares
Iand chemicals displayed easier
tendencies. Tobaccos. glass shares
and foods in many cases were able
to cross last nights closing levels.
TOBACCO FIRMER
U. s. Gypsum dropped a point
and fractional declines were suf-
fered by Bethlehem, U. S. Steel,
Chrysler, General Motors, Mont
gomery Ward, Johns-Manville, du

Cerro de PaSco.
On the plus side were Liggett &
Myers "B," Reynolds Tobacco "B," I"
Sears Roebuck, Borden, Libbey-
Owens-Ford, Electric Power g.

Commodities dipped moderately.
Cotton gave up 25 cents a bale

Minor staples were soft. Bonds

AUTO INDUSTRY
SETS PACE FOR
1899 RECOVERY
SO P. C. Greater Output
Than in '38 Forecast
BY DAMON RUNYON, Jr.

0N.S.) The nations econo
mists today predicted better busi

ter of 1899, at least in building
construction and automobile pro
duction.
Some industrial building
projects tentatively planned be-
fore the recession set in will be
resumed now that recovery is
in progress" the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics experts
said.
BRISK SALE OF CARS
"The automobile industry
also promises to give greater
support to the general situation
than had been anticipated
several months ago." they con-
tinued. Most recent reports
point to continued brisk retail
sales of cars.
g. Total production so per

not now appear to be an unrea-

with earlier hopes for a Is or 80
per cent increase.
IF this expectation material

STEEL BUYING is CRUX
The experts said it is difficult

industrial activity the latter part
Of December was the forerunner
Of further decline to come in the
first quarter of 1939."
Much depends on the rate of
automobile output and buying of

tomobile manufacturers" they
asserted. Several factors indi-
cate, however, that any further
slackenlng which may occur will
be only minor and temporary.
The outlook for other important
remains about the same
the bureaus experts said. In view
of the better prospects for auto
mobile production and building
they asserted, "a
