In the Stock Market <By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. s.—Ordinarily a drought as extensive as the one which now grips the country would hardly be looked upon as a bullish argument for stocks. However, following several years of overproduction, there is an abundance of grain which may be substituted for such production that is lost. In stimulating a demand for these accumulated supplies the- situation is benefitted. Furthermore, the nation, to the extent heretofore, is no longer dependent upon raising agricultural surpluses. The whole commodity situation seems to be taking on a different aspect. ‘ Indices pointing out to the activity of business, should from h°re on begin to assume a better color. With motor car production rapidly increasing, and steel mill operations raising, freight traffic should begin to enlarge. The stock it seems is sensing this more hopeful outlook and reflecting a persistent demand for our good securities.

HOPE TO BARE NEW ANGLES IN GASTAX CASE Ogden, Cooper Talk Things Over; Fifield’s Kin Oil Inspector. New angles on the somewhat dorS; bootleg gasoline probe may t from a conference today between Attorney-General James M. Ogden and Bruce E. Cooper, resigned gasoline tax field auditor and alleged conspirator in the scheme which defrauded the state of thousands of dollars of gasoline tax money. One of the “new ables” is the information that Secretary of State Otto G. Fifleld has a brother who has been a state oil collector at Whiting throughout the time that the tax free gasoline was being sold in Lake county and elsewhere. He is Leo B. Fifleld and lives at Hobart. He Knows Nothing The secretary of state stated today his brother said he knew nothing about the bootleg gasoline scandal. He has been with the department a year or more, but his name does not appear among the oil inspectors listed in the 1929 Governor’s year book. The job pays $125 a month. R. S. Springate, Whiting, oil inspector at one time connected with the case through reports to Ogden, does appear on the year book list. He is Whiting city chairman for the G. O. P. Fifleld long has scouted the theory that the Republican organization in northern Indiana had anything to do with the conspiracy. Suggests U. S. Probe Cooper again denied his connection and suggests a federal investigation of interstate shipments of gasoline labeled “distillate.” This was the scheme whereby the state was defrauded. Cooper and Louis H. Joers, Michigan City, have been the ones slated for grand jury investigation in the matter. Earl Stroup, deputy attor-ney-general, and Leland K. Fishback, state gasoline tax collector, are in Lake county trying to obtain action, according to Ogden. George W. Hufsmith, also a deputy attorney-general, has taken part in the matter and is said to be at loggerheads with Oliver Starr, Lake county Meanwhile, Cooper says he has nothing to fear and urges the whole matter be “honestly exposed.”
