BY elmerTcT walzer. United Press Financial Editor NEW YORK, July B.—With traders waiting definite results from the Franco-American war debt negotiations at Paris, stocks prices moved in an uncertain manner through the early trading today. The list opened substantially lower. Selling soon dried up, however, and the market moved within a narrow range around the opening levels through the morning trading. Dealings were restricted and extreme dullness prevailed. Move Up at Noon Toward noon, prices moved up fractionally from their early lows, but the trading was too quiet to Indicate any change in the mixed trading. Most of the business originated on the floor of the exchange itself and the public continued on the side lines. , With most of the leaders moving narrowly, most of the interest centered on the movements in a few individual issues. Some apprehension was aroused by further weakness in National Biscuit which fell more than 2 points to anew low for the present shares at 58%. This issue which long has been considered one of the leading blue chip stocks on the Exchange suffered from liquidation induced by fears that second quarter profits failed to cover common dividend requirements of $1.40 a share. Case Is Weak Spot Another weak spot was J. I. Case, which fell several points on suspension of pool activity. Chrysler, on the other hand, moved fractionally higher after an initial 1-point decline on continued strong pool sponsorship arising out of the company’s announcement of its new Plymouth model this morning. Other motors were steady, with Auburn recovering nearly all of its early 6. point decline before the end of the second hour of trading. Leaders like Steel, Westinghouse Electric, American Can and General Electric held losses of a fraction to several points, while interest in various groups like coppers, utilities and oils dwindled.

S„ WORLD IS SHOWNJN JUNE Uptrend in Major Fields Reflects Optimism Business. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, July 6.—A slight Improvement in business conditions in the United States and throughout the world is registered in trade summary figures made public today by the department of commerce. The upward climb began in the middle of June, almost simultaneously with President Herbert Hoover’s proposal for a war debt holiday, and it has continued in many major fields. Reports to the department from its foreign representatives mention the proposed moratorium as an optimistic factor, and the rally of stocks in Wall Street has also been attributed to this development. Stocks Record Set The average price of representative stocks reached the highest level in the week ending June 27 since the second week in May, business failures were fewer than at any time since last November, wholesale prices continued their upward trend, prices of agricultural products increased for the second consecutive week, bond prices increased for the third consecutive week and cotton continued to command a better price. Non-agricultural products, however, remained at the same level of the preceding week. But some favorable indications were found in scattered industries and various sections of the country. The net operating income for May of the first sixty-six railroads to report shows a net increase in revenue of 7 per cent over May. Tourists Flock to West Early reports from the west indicate that the number of tourists may be the largest since early 1929. Leaf tobacco exports in May totaled 48,912,000 pounds, as against 28,823,000 in May, 1930. Industrial activity in New England, which has been especially hard hit by the depression, has increased steadily during the first five months of this year and is now only 15 per cent below normal, while the country is 25 per cent lower. Business activity in the San Francisco district was 7.7 per cent above the average for the same period from 1921 to 1930. Improved conditions and larger exports were reported from Argentina, Brazil, China, Costa Rica, Hawaii, Jamaica, Japan. All reports from abroad, however, made clear that the recovery is slight and spotty, but it has aroused hopes that the general world condition may be on the verge of steady improvement.

SALES ORDERS FORCE FUTURE PRICESLOWER July Wheat Sets New Lows as Favorable Weather Hits Bert. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE Csited Press Stiff Correspondent CHICAGO, July 6. Scattered ! selling on an accumulation of over- ! the-week-end selling orders dropped \ wheat prices a fraction as the Board of Trade opened tbday. Liverpool was weak, but quiet, with demand insufficient to sustain the market. Rains in most sections of the northwest and west during the holiday had little effect. Com dropped sharply, losing a major fraction as sellers found support poor. Oats were easy with the major gains in a light trade. Situation Is Puzzle At the opening wheat was % to % cent lower, corn was % to % cent off and oats were unchanged to % cent down. Provisions were slow and steady. Liverpool was about as expected, Vi. cent to % cent lower by midafternoon. Between political leaders of the southwest trying to help the farmers get more money for their wheat and the farm board, conditions are somewhat of a puzzle. New’ efforts are being made to force the government agency to outline a more favorable program for the proposal of its 200,000,000 bushels of wheat. Rumors that large sales are being made to foreign interests are not given much credence by the trade. Conditions Favor Bulges While pit conditions favor bulges, hedging from the southwest is increasingly heavy. The fact that the market is holding so well is something of a surprise. Private crop estimates suggest a corn yield of around 3,000,000,000 bushels and in only five years has there been a crop so large. The hot weather forced growth, but also took much of the surplus moisture out of the ground and good rains are necessary. The weather was clear and cool, with scattered rains over the holiday. The high temperatures have damaged oats, but the belief is that there will be plenty for all requirements. Chicago Grain Range —July 6 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close. Close.

PLEA FOR MORE MEN MADE IN POLICEBUDGET City Officials in Quandary in Aim to Reduce 1932 Appropriation. Although again expressing the need for additional men, police officials today said their hands are tied by lack of funds and filed 1932 budget appropriation requests totaling $1,291,514, a decrease o* $126.75 over this year. In the statement, the department heads said new men are needed in nearly ever branch of the police division. Minor changes in the number of patrolmen and ranking police officers are set out. Increase of $7,000 in the equipment needs for police cars is included in the budget schedule. City officials who are supposed to reduce the total of the 1932 budget are puzzled how it can be reduced and still add about $5,000 for purchase of license plates for city cars. Under a statute of the last legislature, the municipality will not be given free licenses, and all cars, including police and fire apparatus, must be equipped with paid licenses. Increase in the weights and measures department budget is sought by Grover C. Parr, department head. He is seeking $11,370 for operation during 1932. Operation of the Gamewell department. next year will cost the city $84,872, according to its appropriation requests submitted today.
