G. Dun and Company. It continues: The facts of a major commercial recession remain prominent and the probability of only a slow recovery is now more generally recognized. yet even scattered indications of better- ment strike an encouraging note. In moderate degree, certain very recent movements, although not in themselves representative of any broad effect. The rise in the price for cop- per, following a drastic downward Teadjustment, has been the outstand- ing feature, and its influence has spread to other channels. The immediate and favorable reac- tion to this development, with a sud- den halting of the protracted stock market weakness, has demonstrated the prevailing sensitiveness of senti- ment, which is a not unnatural phe- nomenon of economic transition. During periods when adverse phases are predominant, any upturn, espe- cially in a great basic industry, is helpful. It is made clear by Dun’s: compre- hensive list that stability in wholesale quotations is yet to be attained, while advices from the principal centers of manufacture and distribution supple- ment the other evidences that buyers continue to hold a distinct advantage in most instances. There are, how- ever, signs that prices for several im- portant commodities in addition to copper have reached a point of resist- ance, among these being some steel products, rubber and sugar. A steady- ing of prices, extending over a wider field, would have a large bearing upon the general situation, particularly AS A KQ.Q QQ oy By Williams ARE THERE ANY ARE OLD MORE RUING } MA'AM, INDIAN AROUND HERE? / Tuo RIGHT HERE AN’ On, YES ONE ACOMINY T.AWILLAMS CAMP WOOD, AZ ©1030 BY NEA SERVICE, INC, Article No. 54 By WM.

After a decline canes pa that had continued with only a few and minor interruptions since early ‘The Bidding in September, prices turned strongly upward during the present week on an increased volume of dealings. A sudden rise in the copper shares, which responded to the movement looking toward a curtailment of out- put of this metal, was the outstanding development and the propeliing force behind the market's advance. The betterment in prices was practically general, and sentiment in financial circles was measurably improved. As had been anticipated, the weekly statement of brokers’ loans, issued after the close on Thursday, showed the seventh consecutive reduction, the latest decrease being $219,000,000. That contraction, following previous sizable declines, brought the total to @ new low record since such compila- tions were first compiled by the local Federal Reserve bank, in 1926. Steel Sellers’ Views Firmer ‘Without any essential change in the genera] volume of business, much of the interest in the steel trade cen- tered this week in price developments. ‘The latter were featured by a move- ment on the part of the principal producer to stabilize the markets for Such action took the form of the naming of a minimum quotation of 1.60, Pitts- burgh, and it was regarded as being likely to stiffen the views of other sellers. There apparently is a spread- ing belief in the industry that prices now are down around bottom, and that success may be attained in mak- the present basis. The reported pur- chase by a radiator company of 50,000 tons of iron was conspicuous in the week's news. Lighter Business in Textiles Following its recent expansion, bus- iness in primary textile channels has slackened. Previous gains; while dis- tinct, were principally of a seasonal character, and the subsequent let- down indicated that a policy of cau- tion is being rigidly adhered to. It is stated that buyers have yet to cover many needs for the holiday trade, but commitments are being made con- servatively and mainly as require- ments are disclosed. A vrominent phase in the retail field is the wide publicity being given to price concessions as a means of stimulating demand, but considerable merchandise is not being pressed for sale. Fewer Hide Price Declines The general hide situation, al- though lacking in strength, had a steadier appearance this week. That condition prevailed because of the tact that fewer concessions in prices were made, yet quotations were large- ly nominal. With buyers chiefly out, the volume of current business is not regarded as being sufficient really to test the market. Moreover, encour- aging features in the leather trade are scattered with purchasing con- spicuously inactive. Operations at shoe plants continue on a restricted basis, if a) Wild Rose \ - -@ By MRS.

The Capitol theatre presented last night the first view of radio broad- casting’s most amazing jomenon —Amos 'n’ Andy, in their first all- talking feature picture, “Check and Double Check,” and to paraphrase the ys” it’s some “propolition.” Radio Pictures is to be compli- mented on the sagacity which Prompted that organization to cor- ral Amos ‘n’ Andy for its own uses. And it is to be further complimented ‘|for the adroit and skillful handling of the two radio For “Check and Double Check” is a rare treat, a delight to Amos ‘n’ Andy fans surely, and as much a de- light if not more to those who have unwittingly missed these two incorm- Parable artists by radio.

On the screen, it is this column's ° opinion, Amos ’n’ Andy will not only fortify their virtually impregnable position as monarchs of broadcasting, but will gain many more admirers to the le- gtons they now have.

PARAMOUNT THEATRE “Safety Last,” that great Harold Lloyd classic of the art of thrilling movie audiences, was made seven years ago, but it is still in demand, and there are few who can forget the breath-taking situations when Lloyd dangled by his finger-tips from the hands of a clock twelve stories in mid-air. The thrills of “Safety Last” seemed for a long time impossible to surpass or even equal. Even Lloyd himself had abandoned the idea of doing more thrilling scenes. But several months ago, while scouting for a new idea for “Feet First,” pow showing at the Para- mount theatre, Lloyd hit upon -& scheme which when developed offered what he feels has been his greatest opportunity for presenting spin-ting- ling entertainment. This is another sky-scraper angle, but different fram anything that has gone before. Although Lloyd had thought it im- in | Possible to equal “Safety Last,” he hed not reckoned on his own imagi- native and creative genius. He made the thrill scenes, which come toward the end of “Feet First,” at great per- sonal risk, spending several months at work which required him to swing by his hands in precarious poses. Without his splendid physique he could never have accomplished such feats. Experience has given us knowledge.

Murphy Predicts Great Things From Revamped Team Next Fall The Lions club paid its annflal trib- ute to the Bismarck High school foot- ball team Monday evening. It had the entire squad, its coaches and the school heads as its guests to feature the weekly dinner at the den in the Art Sailer was introduced as a new | member. Miss Ernestine Dobler of the High school choral singers, opened last night's program with two songs, “Go- ing Home” by Dvorak, and nade” by. Toselli. C. W. Leifur was special chairman of the evening and called on Coach McLeod to introduce the squad and the coaches and school heads also were present as guests. These Harold Tait, Leo Benser, Wally Hult- berg, Dale Brown, John Spriggs, Gus Schlichenmeyer, Ed Agre, Hank Pot- ter, Gilbert Benzon, Bob Stackhouse, Wade Green and John Davis, players; !George Hays,.

Wells, he commented, is bettering for the reason that the graduates of such teams as those of the Bismarck High school are going to the bigger teams. He predicted that Bismarck, next fall, in spite of the fact that it would shave no O'Hare or Meinhover or Hoffman, as last year, would prob- ably have a speedier back field than this year and could expect some worthy achievements.
