July Cotton Seih At Sharp Decline; New Months Weaker Greulsition el Additional Notices Orates Brtmk, October Tooling tea? Lowest in Nearly m Year Tkere ?as a sadden and] severe Tsreak in the price ef July contract? in the cotton market yesterday. The strength ef the near position has keen a sustaining faeter with reference ta later month? fer several days, and at ,son a? it weakened ander liquidation resulting frem the circulation ef ad? ditional notices, the celling ef new crea months became mere active and sggressir? A.H these positions made new lew freund for the movement In conse? quence, with October felling off 82.60, tke lowest price touched since last winter and a decline ef 410 point? from the high level ef last month. That position eloeed at 82.84 with the general market elating steady at a net decline of 43 to 87 peinte en alt deiireries except the inaetive months of August and September*which were 49 to 80 points net higher and appeared to he adjusting themselves on the basis of old crop values. The market opened' barely steady at ta advance of 80 pointa on September but 62 pointa lower on July and 10 to fl peinte lower on the active new crop ?oaths. July notices estimated at be? tween 2,000 and 2,500 bale? were re? ported and as they circulated through the street brought out considerable liquidation. For a time sellers of July, found few buyers end before the break was cheeked, the near month had sold down to 38.50 or 117 points net fewer and 148 points below the high level of yesterday morning. This stimulated selling of new crop months on the continued favorable weather and reports of depression in the textile trade, while except for covering there appeared to be very little demav.d. After showing net losses of some 60 to 67 points, prices showed moderate rallies en covering bat the bulges were not fully main? tained and December contracts closed within 3 points of the lowest. Reports that the affairs of one of the large firms in the silk trade had been placed in the hands of trustees seemed to increase pessimism over the goods trade situation and there was also selling on reports that short time was on the increase in cotton spinning mi?s. Except for further predictions of weevil damage there was little or no criticism of crop conditions in the South, and the South was seller here on the decline. Southern spot markets as officially reported were unchanged to 75 points lower. The local market for spot cotton was quiet and 50 points lower at 40.50 for middling upland; no sales were re? ported.

Foreign Wheat Demand Expected to Help Prices Now that it is officially settled that trading* operations in wheat will be re? sumed on Thursday of next week, the trade is making a closer study of the wheat situation, with the view of arriv? ing at more definite ideas regarding the merits of the situation and prob? able price levels. Many think that the December posi? tion in Chicago will open at or around S2.65 to S2.76, but there appears to be quite a wide difference of opinion as to the future course of the market. Cash wheat yesterday was again firm and in the export market prices advanced about a cent a bushel. Offers were limited and thare were good inquiries in evidence, with buyers apparently willing to make contracts for cargo lots. Some authorities believe that the de? mand from abroad will be of sufficient volume to maintain prices, if not to send them to higher levels. Others think that wheat will move more freely in the near future, as cars are being sent into the Southweet, where the banks are overloaded with grain paper ?ad where the new harvest is in prog? ress. The outturn of the spring wheat crop will be an important factor end an this account the trade ie watching closely for any evidences of the spread or black rust.

The local market opened generally 10 to 14 points higher, and on private advices received by local Importers stating that Santos was higher, trade shorts became nervous and covered, sending September to 13.51, December to 12.69 and March to 12.80. Private advices were later confirmed by two special cables from Santos, the first reporting a gain in futures of 100 to 325 reis, the second advancing the market 75 to 226 rets.

W. Stetson Finds Pea ' eimism in Ce n t ra 1 and Western Europe; France Is Recovering Germany has at last come to realise that it lost the wer, according to ?. W. Stetson, vice-president and mem? ber of the managing committee of the Guaranty Trust Company. Mr. Stet? son reports the atmosphere in Ger? many is pervaded with pessimism, but he attributes that sentiment in pert to an effort to get the Allies to miti ?ate the peace terms. With Harold tanley, another of the vice-presidents, Mr. Stetson has just returned from a two-month trip to Europe, in which the two bankers made a survey of con? ditions in Central and Western Eu? rope. "Underneath the dark surface," Mr. Stetson declared in a statement pre ? tared for the press, "there were many ndications that the Germans were con? fident of their ability to 'come back' and do not realize themselves what a long journey that must be. Her great? est economic difficulties are currency Inflation and lack^of raw materials. How these probleA are to be met it is difficult to see clearly. "There are these reassuring sides to the picture, however: Germany's agricultural output is being stimulated in every possible way and large crops are assured. Her industries were not destroyed by the war and are produc? tive and efficient, needing only raw ma? terials to supply them. Her people are industrious and thrifty and glad for the opportunity to work. Undoubtedly there will be numerous changes before any definite political status is fixed, but through it all German thrift and commercial instinct will endure and accomplish important results. I learned that radical steps toward decreasing their present inflation and meeting their fiscal problem are contemplated and will go far toward the work of restoration. Austria Crashed "Throughout Middle Europe there is much confusion and it is difficult to make definite statements about condi? tions. Austria is, for the. present at least, crushed, and there is little sem? blance of industrial or productive activ? ity. The food lines are formed daily in Vienna to care for the starving and thousands of lives are maintained only through charity. The bitter racial hat? reds which exist throughout Middle Europe have not died down and, in fact, seem to have been inflamed by the war and the readjustments following it. "In Czecho-Slovakia the idealists and dreamers, who were largely instru? mental in working out the political re? adjustments, now realize that the prac? tical problems presented by such read? justments nre much more difficult and that the making of a nation is a long process. Agricultural production there is good and the financial institutions are in a relatively good condition, but the work of unifying and organizing th? life of this new nation, of course, presents a difficult task and it is too soon to make any predictions concern? ing it. "From Jugo-Slavia, Greece, Hungary and Rumania various reports are heard, but in all these countries the problems of reconstruction are dominant and their solutions have not yet been worked out. The breaking up of the Austrian empire complicates the situ? ation for all of the constituent and con? tiguous countries. Italian Situation "There aeemsHo be no new problem presented in the Italian situation, which is still difficult, as the lack of coal, due primarily to under-produc? tion in England and the difficulty. of financing shipments from the United States, is a very serious handicap. Italy has a surplus of nothing but labor, and that is a problematical eco? nomic asset under existing conditions there." In discussing the situation in west? ern Europe, Mr. Stanley said: "One finds much of a reassuring na? ture in the developments of the last year among the Allied countries. Eng? land's courageous and farseeing policy, in spite of serious political problems throughout the British Empire, is bear? ing obvious results in the restoration of credit and business activity gener? ally. Her firm tax program, her for? eign trade policy and her dogged de? termination to maintain her position of financial supremacy are all combin? ing to speed the restoration of normal conditions in England. Of course, la? bor troubles, decreasedeproduction and political difficulties in her dominions are giving England great concern, but the British trait of sticking to the job promises to triumph over these diffi? culties and substantial progress over a year ago is evident. France Recovering "France is rapidly getting back on her feet. The French peasant is pro? ducing splendid crops and France ex? pects to raise enough wheat to supply her needs this year. The French in? dustrial worker, in spite of sporadic strikes, is producing effectively, and the whole labor situation, in fact, seems to be much improved in the last few months. The French people gen? erally are ready and eager to work. France still needs fuel and raw mate? rials, and has great financial problems to solve, but definite plans can be made to meet these problems as soon as the German indemnity is fixed; and there I seems no doubt that France will work ? out its future successfully. "Belgium has already moved back well toward the normal. Conditions there have been fully described, and it seems pretty generally understood that Belgium perhaps least of all of the na? tions of Europe presents a problem." > Navy Orders From The Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, July 8.?Navy orders issued to-day follow: Boucher, Ens.

H. B. Answer?If you intend purchasing for investment?that, is, for permanent and steady income?you should con? sider only those issues which are well secured. Chicago, Rock Island & Pacific, recently reorganized, is s good railroad. It has not, however, actually been earning the dividends on the pre? ferred stocks (the common pays noth? ing). Government compensation has #"L sufficient, however, for directors of the road to continue preferred divi? dends. How the road will fare after September l next, when government compensation ceases, we cannot tell. If you believe in the future of the rail? roads you may be rewarded by pur? chasing railroad securities at this time. But you should realize that the purchase of most railroad stocks is of necessity speculative at this time. There are some exceptions, how? ever. We believe that Union Pacific 4 per cent preferred, selling at 63 and yielding 6.35 per cent, and Atchison 6 per cent preferred, selling at 73 and yielding about 7 per cent, are safe in? vestments. These two roads are among the very best in the country. All His Eggs in Ona Basket. Question?Having purchased some years ago Swift & Co. stock and added to my holdings by the addition of stock dividends and cash distribution, all of which I have put back in the stock of saia company, also having taken my allot S"6.",. ln, its ???regated companies, namely, YTwk* International, Llbby, McNeill A Llbby and National Leather, I now beg to ask If you consider my investment in the Swift and segregated Companies a good investment to hold for dividends and a possible Increase in the price of said stocks above present quotations??H. A. P. Answer?Swift ? Co. has been a suc? cessfully managed corporation. The segregated companies you mention have shown good earnings. We cannot attempt to say what the future will bring forth, much less attempt to fore? cast the prices of their stocks. You will probably find that the stocks in question will show considerable sensi? tiveness to earning power. For that reason we prefer and recommend those securities which are so well secured that they do not embody this feature to any great extent. It might be ad? visable, too, not to place your funds in one class of investment, but to di? versify your holdings. A substantial reduction in the price of foodstuffs might find you in a position where all your investments are adversely af? fected. No Income from These Shares Question?Among my various invest? ments are thirty shares Baltimore & Ohio common at 100, twenty-five shares Brook? lyn Rapid Transit at 73, twenty-five shares People's (Jas at 90. "While I am not dependent upon the income these shares fail to give me, I would like you to ?advise me whether it would be good policy to dispose of any of these holdings at market price and invest the proceeds In paying securities.?B. O. Answer?Your question is & difficult one for us to answer. You state that you are not dependent upon the in? come from, your stocks, and yet you inquire if it would "not be best to con? vert them into paying securities. If you did the latter, your position would undoubtedly be sounder, for just as long as you hold the securities men? tioned you will be speculating upon their futures. This is a matter for you to decide. We do not, of course, pretend to know what their future will be. It is otir opinion, however, that the majority of railroad and public utility stocks and bonds have very nearly discounted the conditions in which the companies find themselves. If you are of this opinion, and can afford, as you probably can, to specu? late upon the matter, we advise your holding the stocks. His Bond Has Declined Question?I would like your "opinion on Indiana Steel first 5s, due 1962. Do you think they are entitled to a very high rating? I bought a 81.000 bond of this issue last summer at 97 4, but now they are quoted around 85. I realize that all forms of investments have been quite de? pressed, but I cannot see the superiority over the Indiana Steel first 5s of Central Leather first 5s at 91, or Bethlehem Steel first 5s at 90, or Virginia-Carolina Chem? ical first us at 92, etc. I have been much Interested in your investment column of late, and note you constantly recommend the Illinois Steel debenture 4 4s, which are In the same boat as Indiana Steel first 5s.?G. P. W. Answer?The Indiana Steel first 5 per cent 1952s are entitled to a very good investment rating, in our opinion. The decline in price is due to no condition of the company, but to the fact that all forms of investments have had to con? form to the present abnormal condi? tions. The difference in price between Indiana Steel 5 per cent and the other bonds you mention is due entirely to the fact that the first is a long term issue, while the others are close to maturity. As a matter of fact, the yield to maturity on Indiana Steel bonds at 85 is but slightly over 6 per cent, while the Central Leather bonds at 91 yield over 7 per cent. Coal Stock Shows a Loss Question?About a year ago I purchased 100 shares of Elk Horn coal, at 38, and now it Is down to 19. A/ty Information and advice you will give "wtll be appre? ciated.?L. C. Answer?You are a lot better off than others who bought speculative stocks at the height of the bull market a year ago, for you have been getting dividends to yield you 7.90 per cent on your investment. A great many ele? ments have combined to depress prices of this and other stocks. You will have to make up your own mind whether to take the loss or hold on. We do not feel justified in advising our readers about speculative matters. No Depreciation In W. S. S. Question?The writer has twenty aharea of General Motor debenture 6s. at an av? erage cost of 78; 8450 Liberty bonds and 6 shares Of United Retail Candy Stores etock. What is your opinion of the first and last named ? I also have 8200 in W. 8 S., which I am thinking of converting. Would you advise buying more Liberty bonds, or would you buy some other good bonds or stocks? Is Union Pacific com? mon paying 10 per cent a good buy at 113, and what do you think Its possibili? ties are??M. B. Answer? Gen.ersl Motors debenture stock is entitled to s very fair rating at present, because the corporation's earnings are ample to care for divi? dends. United Retail Candy Stores stock is largely a prospect. Its pros? pects may be good. Time only will tell that. We cannot recommend it for the investor, however. The purchase of W. S. S, is an excellent means of saving. One splendid feature is that there are no fluctuations downward in -this security. You can do no better, we think, than to buy more of them or more Liberty bonds. Union Pacific common stock is speculative, beesuge the roilrosd situstion i? ?o uncertain. We do not advise its purchsse for in? vestment purposes.

LOUIS, July 8.?The Gardner Motor Company, Inc., is soon to be or? ganized under the laws of New York to take over the business assets and good will of the partnership of the same name in this city, it was an? nounced to-day. The new company will have an authorized capitalization of 300,000 shares of no par value, with 155,000 shares to be Issued. Hornblower & Weeks, of New York, and Lorenzo E.

The Gardner Motor Company, Inc., will continue to manufacture the Gard? ner motor car, a four-cylinder model, which retails for $1,195. Russell E. Gardner, president of the new com? pany, and his sons, were the organ? izers of the Chevrolet Motor Company, now one of the principal General Mo? tors units. Production of the Gardner car was begun on March 1, and in that month the output was 317 cars. The esti? mated production for July is 1,000 cars. U. S.
