Stock Averages
60 Stock Range Since 1927
By VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, July 23-Despite
another good performance by the
rails, the stock market today con-
fined itself to a sidewlse crawl
that produced something like an
even split of minor gains and losses
for the leaders.
Profit selling was a handicap
to number of the bellWethers of
the July upturn, and some of these
remained under water throughout
the session. Closing prices of most
carriers and few other resistant
issues were near the days best.
The trading pace slowed down
sharply, transfers amounting to ap-
proXimately 800 900 shares compared
with Yesterdays 135O630 which
we're the second largest since last
November II.
Wall Street sources maintained
the cheerful front assumed as a
result of the markets recent climb
to the best average levels since
last January IS. but brokers re-
ported the buying urge had been
made less keen by Tuesdays slide
from the peak prices Prospective
bidders evidently were wary of a
further corrective movement.
Motor shares remained on the off
side most of the day, receiving no
perceptible stimulus from William
Knudsen's comment that the auto
mobile industry would be given op-
portunity to find substitute mate
rials if it involved no interference
with the defense program. This was
taken as another indication of op-
position within o. P NJ. TO Price

officials said, by Government sale
of such types.
Under farm legislation, the de-
partment may sell cotton it has
acquired under grower loan opera
tions if the prices are sufficient to
offset the Governments investment,
including benefit payments made to
growers on the cotton. Officials said
that prices had recently advanced
to level that would permit such
liquidation of Government cotton.
Sales are limited, however, to not
more than 100000 bales a month
and not more than 100000 bales a
year.
officials would not say at what
point prices could be said to be
artificially high. Some said, however,
that the farm parity price figure
now about 1912 cents pound-may
be made the point at which the
Government would sell cotton.

The Agriculture Department Is
considering plans, authoritative
sources said today, for the sale in
the open market of cotton from
Government-owned stocks in a move
designed to prevent prices from ad-
vancing to artificially high levels.
The department has been keeping
a close check on recent price ad-
vances, and is making a study to
determine the causes. Some price
authorities believe that present
quotations are based on undue spec
ulative activity, while others say
they reflect an actual market short
age of some types of cotton, par
ticularly long staple and higher
grade.
Cotton has been selling at the
highest level in a decade and con-
siderably above the point authorized
for Government price-supporting
grower loans.
Officials emphasized that there
were ample supplies of cotton in this
country-a fact that made present
price levels open to question. They

The national emergency has
caused the greatest growth in Metro
politan Washington since World
War days. There is much talk of
an actual or an impending housing
shortage. 1t is important for all
real estate owners to know what
the housing situation is and to en-
deavor to ascertain what it may be
in the near future. What happened
here during the last war should
help to determine what may be the
housing needs during 1941.
The amount of housing that can
be absorbed in given community
depends upon the number of fami-
lies in that community. Only one
housing unit is used by each family,
no matter what its size. 1t follows,
them that If there are more living
places than there are people to
occupy them, vacancies result. Like
wise, If. there are more families
than there are housing units,
shortage results, people double up.
This is what happened in the last
war.
The difference between the hous-
Ing situation today and in World
War I may be summed up thus:
l. In 1917 there were only about
1l5,000 units to take care of popu-
lation increase of at least 300 900.
2. Today there are about 100000
housing units available for those
the defense program brings to
Washington.
Accommodations Different,
In March, 1917, there were $4,000
people employed by the Federal
Government in the executive de-
partments in Washington. This rose
to over 1T, 900. 1t was this increase
in the Government staff, together
with those who came here to serve
them, which caused the acute hous-
ing shortage in 1917. There was
nowhere near enough space to 60
around. Families doubled up. A
room which ordinarily housed one
or two persons was often used as
sleeping quarters for four or five.
This chaotic condition finally re-
suited In a law freezing rents and
later in rent fixing by rent COM
mission, which lasted until 1925.
The present emergency has been
coming on the country gradually.
We are not actually at war, there
fore Federal employment has not
jumped the way it did during World
War I. Since April 80, when the
present emergency seemed to be first
recognized, the Government staff
has increased 1926, or $500 a
month. During the last war, in a
little over a year, almost 10000 ad-
ditional people went to work for
the Government in what was a
