Stock Averages
By VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, May 2.-The stock
market flirted with a bashful rally
today and managed to achieve a
moderate amount of success.
While the news was nothing to
cheer about, especially foreign bulle-
tins telling of a threatened holy
war against the British in the Near
East, buyers stepped in with
boosted bids for steels, rails and as
sorted industrials in the forenoon
and lifted prices fractions TO more
than a point.
Again the principal stimulus was
believed by brokers to have been the
belief of speculative forces that the
list was "oversold," even with the
somewhat bearish cables and the far
from comforting tax outlook at
home. The labor picture seemed to
have improved bit as a market
factor, but there were still riffs.
Business happenings, on the whole,
were viewed as constructive.
Volume expanded briskly in the
first hour when gains were at the
best. A little selling then began to
appear and trends wavered. Modest
plus signs. however, were fairly well
distributed at the close. Transfers
were around 100000 shares.
Stocks ahead most of the time
included United States Steel, Beth
lehem, Santa Fe, Southern Pacific,
Southern Railway, Atlantic Coast
Line, Great Northern. American Car
& Foundry preferred, Phillips Pc
troleum, Standard Oil of New Jer-
sey, Westinghouse. Allied Chemical.

stance, has had to shift to a large
extent from the light sort of under
wear that most civilian men wear to
the heavy drawers that the Army
is buying by the millions.
The cocoa bean supply, while
large, has been altered by the fact
that men drink more cocoa and eat
more chocolate in the Army than in
civil life. The Army man, it was
discovered. also eats 2la to more
cases of canned vegetables a year
than the civilian.
Contrary to all standard jokes
about Army life, the survey showed
that the mobilization of the Army
forces means practically no change
in potato consumption.

bined share.
C. E. Calder. president, pointed
out to stockholders that 90 per cent
OF the company's total investment
is in Latin America "and its future
is thus closely linked with that of
the Latin American republics"
Said Calder: "Culturally, Latin
America is fully abreast of the rest
of the world, but many of the busi-
ness and industrial possibilities
within these republics are still to a
large extent undeveloped.
Just as the United States in its
earlier history secured the more
rapid development of its natural
resources by accepting the financial
assistance of then wealthier coun-
tries, so now does the speedier de-
velopment of the natural resources
of Latin America require the influx
of capital beyond the present scope
of available national capital"

ported first quarter net profit of

Provision for first quarter income
taxes amounted to $2,146,OO0, in
Guiding reserve of $35O,0OO for ad-
ditional taxes in prospect by reason
of the pending revenue act.
Earnings compared with 81 ,642 ,037
or $123 a share, in the first quarter

Products Cheapened
To Hide Price Rise,
ParIey Is Told
Miss Elliott Warns
Poor Quality Will
Create Waste
By the Associated Press.
Miss Harriet E1lii

By the Associated Press.
Miss Harriet Elliott, consumer
representative in the defense pro-
gram, told a consumers goods con-
ference today that there had been
a widespread substitution of in
ferior materials to conceal price
increases.
While the question of higher costs
was brought before the conference,
Government experts forecast Slight
ly increased prices in some goods,
and one of them suggested bare
legs as an economical substitute for
women's hosiery.
Because the Government is ap-
pealing to industry to keep prices
down. Miss Elliott said. some man
ufacturers have cheapened prod
ucts to sell them at old prices.
"If we allow the quality of our
consumers goods to depreciate to a
point where they must be replaced
after a comparatively short time in
use" she added, I'VE will have
wasted not only materials and pur-
chasing power, but labor and ma
chimes.
Points to Penalties.
But the most serious aspect of
this problem lies in the fact that
the penalties of pool quality will fall
heaviest on those whose incomes
are small. These penalties will be
paid in coins of lowered health and
vitality"
William M. DMiller, chairman of
the National Food and Grocery
Conference Committee, said food
distributors were prepared to handle
any defense emergencies and said
his group denounced" food specu-
| lators.
He said distributors were absorb
ing some of the higher costs of food,
declaring that wholesale food prices
rose 10 per cent in the last year
while retail prices rose 3 per cent
An intensive Government study
appeared to assure housewives no
shortages are in sight on any of the
ordinary articles of food or clothing
From the Government reports
made public today, it appeared that
higher prices were expected, how
ever, for meat, canned vegetables,
eggs. dairy products, woolen goods,
shoes, knitted underwear and mems
work clothing.
Substitutes Listed.
Experts of the Agriculture and
Commerce Departments and other
agencies found not only good supply
prospects, but outlined substitutes
that can be used.
The shoe survey showed that if
leather gets scarce, soles can be
made with rubber or composition
soles and the tops from plastics.
In the case of women's hosiery
another expert said the practical
substitute" was to go without stock
ings.

have caused serious readjustments

Pender's tone was kinder as he added,
Nobody can't actually prove you done it,
Primrose, but you take my advice and don't
go stirrin' up no more ruckus. Folks won't
stand for it even if they did like your dad"
He nodded emphatically and slipped the

painfully out of the driveway He drove into
