60 Stock Range Since 1927:
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, Aug. Prices held
almost as though pegged today in a
timorous stock market.
Quotations of leading issues gen.
orally varied only by small fractions
at the close from their final marks
of yesterday. Only about 2500Oo
shares changed hand, moving in
driblets at scattered intervals.
The morning trend was slightly
downward but many minus signs
were erased in the afternoon.
Commentators discerned only one
real market factor-the battle of
England. They said no real stock
trading was likely until that battle
was Joined by major forces. In t'e
meantime, even domestic polite
matters were regarded as seccH-
Diary.
Some of the most baroml
stocks spent the day sliding
fractions up to fractions down
back again. Among these y
United States Steel, Bethleile
General Motors, Montgomery Wa
and Standard Oil of New Jerse-.
Their uncertainty did nothing to es-
tablish general trend.
On a lower level appeared West
inghouse, American Can, Dupontt.
Eastman, Union Carbide, Glenn
Martin, American Smelling and
Western Union. Those on the up
side included United Aircraft, Santa

Advertising Pays
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, Aug. 7.-"Advertis-
ing pays" the New York Coffee 81
Sugar Exchange said in an an
neuncement today that imports OF
coffee in the crop year ended June
30 had reached record total of 15,-
4S2 800 bags of 1872 pounds each, or
151a pounds for each person in the
United States.
1t said imports, which about par
allel domestic consumption, had
risen 2,346,615 bags, or % pounds
per head, in the past two years.
During that period a promotion
campaign in newspapers, magazines
the trade press and on billboards has
been conducted here jointly by six
Latin American countries banded
together in the an-American Cof-
fee Bureau. A United States trade
organization, Associated Coffee In
dustries of America, co-operated.

Noble Approves Group
On Latin American Trade
BY the Assoc:ated Press.

BY the Assoc!ated Press.
NEW YORK, Aug. edward T.
Noble, Undersecretary of Commerce,
yesterday approved formation of t,Ia
Retailers Advisory Committee II
survey production facilities for re-
tail goods in Latin America and rec
commended additional means for
supplying the United States market.
Saul Cohn, president of City
Stores Co., was named chairman of
the committee, and group of
prominent retail merchants and
merchandising experts were select
ed for membership. The committee
will be part of the Inter-American
Development Commission, Govern
ment agency of which Mr.. Noble is
chairman.
Main purpose Of the Advisory
Committee, Mr.. Cohn said. would be
to arrange for production in Latin
American nations of many consumer
goods formerly supplied by Europe.
The United States, according tn
plans, will supply machinery and
technical assistance necessary for
large-scale manufacturing. The
Southern nations will be enabled
to expand their industrial economy
and at the same time acquire dol
lar exchange.
The plan, said Mr.. Cohn. is
basically part of current efforts to
weld economically the Western Hem
isphere.
United States manufacturers will
not suffer competitively, Mr.. Cohn
said, because the goods to be pro-
duced-such as ceramics, linen goods
and certain types of glass-will
largely replace articles in the past
supplied by Europe.
Members of the committee will
make two-month tour by air,
starting in mid-September, of Chile.
Peru, Brazil, Argentina. Guatemala
and Mexico to survey existing facili-
ties and lay base for expansion.

Steel Production
Will Continue Near
Capacity Rates
All Possibility of
Seasonal Dip Appears
To Have Passed
Ey the Associated Press.

4
NEW YORK, Aug. THE steel
industry will operate at near
capacity rates for the remainder
of the year at least, if the British
are not defeated. Iron Age said to-
day in weekly survey.
1T now appears" asserted the re-
view. that all possibility of a sea-
sonal dip in steel production has
passed.
Although national defense re-
quirements are accumulating and
will be much more important
factor soon, they do not compare
as yet with the tonnages being
taken from the United States by
Great Britain.
The Importance of British buy
ing in the current steel situation
is indicated by the fact that orders
are aggregating 100000 to 100000
tons a month"
Defense Inquiries Rise.
The review noted that steel COM
panies are receiving much heavier
inquiries for steel required for de-
fense projects. These included
semi finished steel and bars for mu-
nitions, plates for shipbuilding
structural steel for hangers and
other Government structures, sheet
piling and many other products.
Large contracts for such require
ments as propelling machinery for
submarines and anti-aircraft gun
carriages have been given out.
There will be demand for
steam and electric turbines that will
keep builders busy for years, both
for the Navy and for power sta
tions.
The War Department is work
ing on designs for go munitions
plants to be erected with Govern
ment funds or by r. F. C. loans and
to be scattered over five geographic
cal areas, mostly 200 miles or more
from boundary lines. All these
plants are to be privately operated.
Ingot Production Up.
steel ingot production continues
to edge upward, being estimated this
week at 81 per cent, half a point
over last week.
Pig iron production is approach
ing the almost record breaking out
put of last fall.
Scrap markets show firmer
undertone. There have been ad-
'vances on some items, but the Iron
Age steel scrap composite remains
unchanged at s18.17. a slight de-
cline in the Pittsburgh average

Forced to Evucuote
Homes in Bottle Zone

Miss Anne Morgan, leader Of the

ganization caring for French evacues
from the war zone, told several hum
dred friends and members Of the
organizations Washington Com
mittee yesterday Of the work being
done abroad and appealed for help
for peasants forced to leave their
homes. She spoke at the Raleigh
Hotel.
Miss Morgan, who is the daugh-
ter Of the late j. Pierpont Morgan
and who is well known for her re-
lief work during the World War, said

Gus because OF the suddenness with
which the evacues were moved out.
She said many were given only four
or five days and that they brought
virtually nothing with them.
Must Keep Up Morale.
The American Friends of France,
she said, had begun work soon after
the outbreak of war in the northern
sector near the Maginot Line, later
transferring its activities to the re-
gion of Hautvienne, in the south
Miss Morgan described the work
being done as principally one of re-
habilitation.
There is a great difference" she
said, between the evacuees and
the natives. We have had to keep
up their morale as well as their
physical well being"
She described the evacue problem
as a growing one" and thanked
members of the local organization
for work done. A plan has been
worked out whereby $500 will be
sent to Miss Morgan's headquarters
at Blerancourt each month.
Ambassador Voices Thanks.
The French Ambassador, Count
de Saint-Quentin, q guests at the
dinner, thanked Miss Morgan on
behalf of his country. He said there
was no situation which found her
