Brisk Upturns—Uti ities Lead. BY HARRY M. BECKER. Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 16.—Led by brisk rallies in a few utility issues, prices staged a fairly general recovery on the Curb Exchange today after early heavi- ness. The upturn was most pronounced in the high-priced electric and power favorites. In the last hour United Gas Improve- ment was 10 points above its forenoon Jow and numerous others were up sub- stantially on the day. Price Recessions. Selling was heaviest following the ad- | vance in the call money renewal rate to 12 per cent. Middle West Utilities came down more than 20 points before mid- day and United Gas Improvements also displayed considerable vulnerability to pressure. Commonwealth & Southern, as well as shares of the other utility holding companies recently organized, were moderately easier on a smaller turnover. Thee best resistance to pressure was furnished by stocks like American Light & Traction, Electric Investors, United Light & Power A, American Gas & Electric and Columbia Electric Power, in which the gains ranged from 4 to 10 points. Electric Shareholding reacted, following publication of a report show- ing that the market value of its invest- ments has appreciated _$51,000,000 over the figure at which they carried on the books June 30 last. Stocks of the properties comprising the Niagara Hudson combine were steadied by news that sufficient deposits had been received to declare the merger lan operative. Pin the general list new highs were scored by specialties like Zonite Prod ucts, Dictaphone, Raybestos and Capi- tal Administration. There was a fair demand for U. S. Finishing, which 1s expected to be split three or four for one before the end of the year, and in appreciation of the excellent earning record being established this year. For the five months net after charges, bul before taxes, was equal to $12.65 a share on the common. Other stocks in de- mand included International Projector, Stone & Webster, Tubize Silk, Proctor & Gamble and Haygart, but these failed to hold after their full gains. 0ils and Midnes. Oils were spotty under the adverse influence of an_unexpected reduction in the price of Pennsylvania crude oil and an increase in the weekly crude oil production total. Gulf of Pennsyl- vania_dropped 3 points on the initial sale, but declines in other parts of the list were of smaller size, Missourl Kansas Pipe Line held firm on the dec- laration of a small stock dividend. Buying operation in the Marconi is- sues came to a sudden halt, with Cana- dian Marconi breaking sharply. This followed publication of a report show- ing only 4 cents earned last year. The mining section was heavy in sympathy with the weakness of copper stocks on the big board, while the aviation and motor groups were devoid of feature. WHEAT CLOSES LOWER. CHICAGO, July 16 (#).—Wheat values today again outdid all previous top-record prices for the season, but average quotations for the day as a whole were much lower. weakness of the Liverpool market, to- gether with prospects of liberal ar- rivals of wheat here from the South- west, did a good deal to bring about downturns. On the other hand, esti- mates were cufrent that crop losses in Canada have been so severe that the prairie provinces will yield only about 271,000,000 bushels, against 510,000,000 bushels last year. Wheat closed unsettled 1 to 134 under yesterday's finish. Corn closed 4 to 7 down; oats, % to 1's off, and provisions varying from 2 to 5 de- cline to a rise of 2 20. July ...

BUENOS AIRES, July 16.—Statistics show that for the first time this year the United States was Argentina’s best customer for seven of her 23 leading axport commodities. Moreover for three other commodities the United States was Argentina’s second best customer. The total of American imports from the Argentine was $55,000,000 for the first five months. On _‘the other hand, the exports of the United States to the Argentine in- creased 35 per cent. During the same period the Argentine had an unfavora- dle trade balance with the United States of $35,000,000. . This trade balance has to be paid either by exporting gold or floating a loan in the United States. - President Iroygen is determined not to borrow abroad if he can possibly help it. On the other hand, a continual exporta- tion of gold at the same volume with which it has been leaving theé country recently would cause & currency re- striction which would cripple trade by forcing interest rates too high. (Copyright, 1920.) By the Assoclated Press. NEW YORK, July 16—New security offerings today include: American & Continental Corporation —$13,000,000 in no par common stock with warrants, offered at $40 a_share by syndicate headed by Harris Forbes Corporation.

PITTSBURGH, Pa., July 16 (®.— Decreases of 25 and 35 cents in sev- eral grades of crude oil were announced today by purchasing agencies here. Pennsylvania grade in New York Tran- sit lines, Bradford District' Oil' in Na- 1 insit Ivania grad grade in Buckeye lines was cut 35 cents, . SILVER QUOTATIONS. NEW YORK, July 16 (#).—Bar silver, 52%. Mexican 40% 4130a33; POTATO RECEIPTS ARE LIGHTER HERE Corn and Tomato Shipments Continue Large—Fruit Display Increases. Increased receipts of corn and to- matoes and lighter receipts of potatoes featured the vegetable market this morning, Lighter receipts and higher prices of potatoes, it was reported, re- sulted from growers shipping their sup- plies to markets in the North, where, it is stated, the potatoes are more than $6 & barrel. Prices here this morning were quoted around $5.25 and $5.50. Most of the supplies of tomatoes were of the homegrown variety, although some splendid quality shipped-in stock were offered the trade, many of them repacks. More favorable weather for growing was given as the reason for increased receipts of the popular vege- table from nearby farms and truck gardens. “They simply came in a rush,” re- marked a dealer this morning, “and the bottom dropped out of the market.” Vegetable Prices. Two-peck baskets of top quality homegrown product were offered at 50 cents during the early morning, with prospects of even lower prices before the close of the day's market. Culls were offered as low as 25 cents during th: early morning. Much of the heavier receipts of corn came from North Carolina and Vir- ginia, the quality being an improvement upon receipts of the past few days, the ears being larger and the corn sweeter and very tender. Top quality corn sold around $2 a crate or 40 cents a dozen. Increased receipts of peaches, honey- dews, honeyballs, cantaloupes and wa- termelons were reported by fruit deal- ers. Receipts of the several fruits this morning were greater than the de- mands, dealers reported, sales not being very brisk. Prices of the several fruits were reported slightly lower. Several varicties of peaches were re- ceived, chiefly from North Carolina, although Virginia and Maryland grow- ers sent contributions. Dealers report many of the peaches of poor quality, some wormy, it is stated, this condition being due to failure of growers to spray their orchards. West Virginia growers gave their orchards proper spraying, according to reports, and their fruit is expected to be of its usual top quality. Some of the fruit received the past few days was sold at losses to shippers. Six-pan crates of good fruit this morning sold around $3, while good homegrown fruit was offered at $2 a bushel basket. Homegrown plums, used chiefly for jelly and preserving, sold at $1 for 2-peck baskets. Both cultivated and 2!Wild blackberries were more plentiful and cheaper, and dealers had fairly large quantities of huckleberries from nearby States. A scarcity of fowls was reported by poultry dealers this morning, prices be- ing considerably higher than prices quoted last week. Meat prices continue high, while the butter and egg market continued steady, with no change in prices. Prices of most commodities this morning were about the same as prices quoted yesterday.

NEW YORK, July 16.—A special meeting of United States Steel Corpora- tion directors has been called for 3 p.m. today, following the usual weekly meet- ing of the finance committee. No information as to the pu of the meeting could be obtained. The usual monthly meeting for approval of the quarterly report and action on divi- dends is scheduled for July 30. ‘Wall Street is looking for action on an extra dividend to followed by an increase in the regular rate, with the possibility of a stock split-up or stock dividend. FEDERAL RESERVE IN FARM AID MOVE Authorizes Dallas Bank to Buy Agricultural Bills.Be- low Discount Rate. BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR. Spectal Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 16.—The Federal Reserve Board, in authorizing the Dallas Reserve Bank to purchase agricultural bills at less than the rediscount rate, gives an Indication of what may be done by other Federal Reserve banks in the agricultural section, if those banks so desire. In this way the crop move may be financed at a comparatively lower cost than regular business requires. While the Federal Reserve Board has not made any change in its fundamental Follcy, it is well known now that the large commercial banks both in New’ York and Chicago are supporting the stock market as actively now as at any time in the past. The New York Federal Reserve Bank is rediscounting freely, as is the Chicago Federal Re- serve. ‘These two banks are generally sup- posed to be co-operating less with the Federal Reserve Board than any other banks in the system. Should an _investigation be made of the Federal Reserve Board, one question undoubtedly will be: “What banks have been ‘unethically’ using Reserve credit?” It may prove difficult to define the word “unethical.” Some of the larger banks stepped in at critical moments in recent months to “‘prveent the wreck- ing of the market” as they said, by “un- ethically” using Reserve credit, as others bankers maintained. Who is right? The question doubtless will be raised in the coming months. Senator King of Utah, who is in ‘Washington attending the tariff hear- ings, continues to ask each witness de- manding higher tariffs the close and intimate details of the financial set-up of the corporation or industry which the witness represents. It is contended by many that the great growth of mergers in the last five years has been first suggested by bank- ers and not by operators of the com- panies. It is the contention of Senator King and others that altogether too much “profiteering in capitalization” is going on Just what will develop as a result of the great mass of material which has been brought out as a result of the tariff hearings along this line only the future will tell. But there seems to be a development at this time, which may crystallize pub- lic opinion favorable to some sort of an inquiry into all financial mergers. ‘Montague Norman, 58, governor of the Bank of England since 1920, the mystery man in world finance, is again in the United States. Where? Perhaps not half a dozen men in America know. But that the governor is here to discuss again with American banking officials, both private and governmental, a working under- Anglo-American finance will be generally believed. Gov. Norman, the son of a well-to-do English family, was educated both at Eaton and King's College, Cambridge. In his college days he was a quiet, re- served, bashful young man, studious, not interested in society and cultivating but few friends. When the South African war came along, he enlisted and did conspicuous work in at least four battles, and was rewarded with the distinguished service order. That was in 1901 and he was then 30. At the close of the war he returned to London and became associated with a private banking house. He was a plugger and moved up step by step in that field until 1920, when he was asked {,onl;ecome governor of the Bank of Eng- and. He is a bachelor, a great reader and plays the piano with rare skill. Music is his hobby—his avocation. Even now he has few friends and rarely goes to any purely social functions. He belongs to only one club, the Athenaeum of London. But in the world of finance, this quiet, modest, reticent Englishman is a power of the first magnitude. Paxton Hibben at the time of his un- timely death by pneumonia last Decem- ber, had completed three-quarters of a biography of William Jennings Bryan. Most of the material also for writing the_other quarter had been compiled. C. Hartley Grattan took over the job, and the book will be published this Fall. Claude G. Bowers, author of Hamil- ton and Jefferson, and Harry E. Barnes, Smith College professor, have co- operated somewhat in the work, too. Paxton Hibben was formerly secre- tary to Senator Beveridge of Indiana. A graduate of Princeton, one time secre- tary of the American legation at Petrograd, active newspaper man, he became a merciless critic of measures and men after the war. He turned down several attractive business offers to carry on relief work in Russia, Turkey and other Southern European countries; he just could not get interested in business as such. “How men can keep on piling up fortunes when poverty is so prevalent throughout the world is more than I can understand.” said Mr. Hibben on one occasion. “Maybe there’s some- thing wrong with me, but I just can not enter commercial business while such a condition lasts.” His biography of Henry Ward Beecher is considered by many a really great plece of writing. His new one of the “Great Commoner” will be waited with interest. Farm storage of wheat has been urged on growers by the Bureau of Agricul- ture Economics in order to increase their facilities for marketing. ‘The present system of distribution is chaotic. Too large a proportion of hard red Winter and Spring wheat is marketed | during the early months of the crop. Result: The country elevators and rail- roads are taxed to the limit. Grain is handled hap-hazardly, without regard to protein content. How will farm storage remedy this evil situation? In many ways a more orderly mar- keting system will reducg car shortage and embargoes, require ess hired help and will make it possible to bring wheat in a much better condition to market. !&gm — farmers will ze"’.b!e to sell wheat on & . mhel in this—the ‘The farmer must s y a of each new I'l’tl"n Il;mm : the termi an rmi- nal gnwr operators in handling and the marketed American News- mot « ht, 1929, by N paper Net sales of Blauner’s, Inc., retailer of apparel, totaled $4,406,005 in the five months ended May wt $3,481,679 for the same 1928 Net ts for 4he two intervals were $328,~ Tespectds 2 and $274,061, vely.

ELLA LEDBETTER “If any one had told me a few weeks ago that I would be feeling as well today as I do, I wouldn't have belleved them, as I honestly felt as though I was about done for and had reasons to feel that way, as I had been in terrible health for over & year and of late I was hardly able 10 eat a thing, even a piece of toast caused great stomach pains. My nephew said to me one day, ‘Whv don’t you try Miller’s Herb Extract?’ (Formerly called Herb Juice.) He #poke so highly of it that I said, ‘Well, 1 will give it a trial,’ and the dav I bought my first three bottles T was hardly able to walk out of the store. I would have attacks of diz- winess, get deathly sick and my head hurt so I could hardly stand the pain. As I said before, my stomach was in a terrible condition; food would not digest: stomach was swollen from the gas that formed, and so sore that I could not touch it. I was continually taking laxa- tives, in fact, had used them since I was operated on. Of late even strong physics failed to act as they should and I suffered terribly from constipation, ached all over and felt , as though my entire system was i full of poison. To my surprise the first few doses of Herb Extract had a mild action on the bowels and in just a few days they were moving regularly. From then on I began to improve, seemed as though every bit of the poison was carried away, my stomach no longer bloated from gas, dizzy spells passed away and to my great relief I can now eat food I dared not touch before I used this medicine. I know that my health is better in every way now than it has been for years and words cannot describe the praise I have for Miller's Herb Extract. I do mnot know of a medicine that will equal it and cannot praise it too highly.” Mrs. Ledbetter, who gave this state- ment, resides at 1337 Childress St. N.E, and is widely known in Wash- i{l{gwn. having lived here her entire ife. If you feel in need of this medi- cine don’t experiment with some- thing supposed to be just as good; go to the Peoples Drug Store, 505 ith St. NW.; talk to the man who is there for the sole purpose of ex- plaining Miller’s Herb Extract (for- merly called Herb Juice), and learn why it is the choice of hundreds of thousands. His hours are 9 a.m. to 0 p.m. 12-YEARLY CGROSNERS 1325-F. STREET
