NEW YORK. August i«r-The stock mar-

ket this week was perceptibly Influenced by existing domestic economic problems, espe-

ctaily the unsettled labor situation. Growth of the campaign against high liv-

ing costa, which had Its most striking manifestations in food seizures and reduction of commodity prices, also served to undermine the Ust, the impairment embracing

many high ciasa issue*.

Public participation, which became chilled In the previous week on publication of the claim of the railway brotherhoods, dwindled to slender proportions, leaving the field almost entirely to pools and allied professional

interests.

NEW YORK, August 14.—The cotton market has been nervous and unsettled during the week, with prices making new

levels for the movement during Fri-

day's early trading, when October contracts sold at M.fta compared with 82.26c the high level Wednesday, and M.OOA the high record established toward the end of tost week. The talk around the ring here has suggested a strengthening opinion that the growlpg crop has passed through the first half of August with less than the average deterioration in condition and that, consequently, there has probably been some increase In the Indicated yield. There has been so much complaint of Insect damage, however, that a comparatively small part of the selling has been attributed to any change of opinion regarding the crop outlook end the chief Influence Is supposed to have been increaalng nervousness over the question of demand. The prominent factor In this connection has been apprehensions that the movement against the high eoet of living would unsettle the goofis market and the selling seemed to be stimulated by the demand that the congress extend govern-

ment control to wearing apparel.

Reports /hat goods were being offered by second hands at declining prices, naturally

increased the fear of weakness in that direc tton. and local bears argued that domestic

spinners would be in a position to hold put of the raw material markets at a time when

the new crop movement was about to begin and hedge soiling would probably be in evidence. Sopie southern setting was reported during the week, but pressure from that source waa not particularly active and ral-

today’s trading were accompanied

ties during today's trading were accompanied by reports that the spot basis was hardening. The census report on domestic mill consumption for July proved rather more favorable than expected, and mills generally are. supposed to be fully employed In turn-

ing out old orders, but domestic has been leu in evidence on tl low Si cents for October this

It’s Tough

A “Peerless” High-Speed Reamer

Is tougher than the toughest carbon reamer—

The high-speed steel blades are brazo-hardened into the carbon steel body. x

We’ve watched this reamer prove itself in countless cases during the past ten years— We KNOW it’s r tougher than any other reamer. We frankly regard it as the ULTIMATE high speed Veamer—

Because it not. only is a BETTER high speed reamertougher and far less liable to breakage—but it actually costs less than the old time brittle type.
