| aaa BISMARCK TRIBUNE, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1930 TRADES INPRO IMPROVING IN VARIOUS AREAS, DUN'S REVIEW FINDS Progress Out of Summer Dull- ness Is Irregular but, on Whole, Encouraging | PRICES ATTRACTING LOW Certain Raw Materials Such) Bargains as to Inspire Or- ders; Steel Betters Even in a situation which still has many confusing and uncertain ele- ments, with accented unsettlement in speculative markets, the more prom- ising signs in business are not ob- scured, says R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade. It continues: Survey's of individual lines con-| tinue to disclose numerous irregular | and unsatisfactory phases, but condi- tions viewed in their entirety reveal a moderately better trend. Reports from different sections of the country, covering widely diversified trades, re-| flect a maintenance of the gradual gains that began with the passing of te summer, with a slow broadening of the circle of improvement. Nothing in the current dispatches warrants other than conservative expectations, ye: the composite sentiment is more Coon, Since confidence is essential commrcial progress, particularly rater a period of stress, the present disposition to regard the outlook more hopefully is encouraging. Consider- at*>,already has been accomplished in laying a foundation for ultimate gen- eral economic recovery, and the ad- stments which yet remain to be completed appear to be, as a whole, lc:s disturbing. That certain raw materials and semi-finished products are believed to be an advantageous purchase at existing low prices is indicated by the willingness of some buyers to con- tract ahead, but various other com- modities are in a more unstable po- sition and forward commitments are discouraged. Even eliminating food- stuff’s, Dun’s list of wholesole quota- ticns ‘lacks evidence that a definite turning point has been reached, al- though declines recently were not so preponderantly in the majority. It was not to be anticipated, follow- ing a protracted transition, that a single month would bring a decisive business revival, and the factor of seasonal stimulus is not to be dis- regarded in September's betterment. Any change in the right direction, however, is something gained, and some additions ‘to factory forces, al- though scattered, are a favorable e-pury. Thus far, only a few of the statts- 1'-al barometers have reflected a re- versal of the prolonged recession, yet steel output has risen a little more, without the support of important or- ders from some of the larger con- sumers, and railroad freight traffic is showing the tendency toward upturn which normally comes during the a ~mn. Speculative Markets Still Unsettled The unsettlement in speculative markets has resulted in still lower prices for stocks, grains a:.! cotton. Much of the upset, especially in grains and stocks, was due to rumors of an u=favorable character, and the price declines were accelerated by rather aggressive bearish operations. New low levels for both wheat and cotton were recorded, while stocks dropped abrupt- ly at times and certain issues broke through their previous bottom points. Rallies were, for the most part, in- decisive, the prevailing trend being downward. | A feature apart from the specu-) Is.tive disturbance was the further eas- ing in money rates, with funds for the fixed periods receding to the lowest basis in ™Mahy years. Thus, loans for four to six months were quoted at 2% | to 2% per cent, which contrasted in| a striking way with the charges of 9 and 9% per cent named a year ago. Stecl, Textiles, Hides News from the steel industry this week, as was to be expected, lacks uniformity, but further indications of betterment appeared. ~ ‘When allowance is made for the observance of the Jewish holidays this week, the more favorable character- istics recently developed in the textile trades have been maintained. Moderate have been the rule, but the encouraging trend has been dis- tinct, and some prices are steadying. Recurring periods of unsettlement in hide markets continue, the latest tread being in a downward direction.

The correct card to lead when partner has bid is the partner's sult to the ace, king or queen, when the fourth best should be led. Some players, when holding ace x x, king x x, or queen x x, will lead the lowest card, but this does not generally prove profitable. By leading the highest card, partner can imme- California.
