STOCKS MOVE HIGHER AFTER INITIAL SALES Leaders Are First to Snap Back When Pressure Is Withdrawn. Average Stock Prices }*>{* r *!!® *58.18. Off .84. Aw W of ut J R i 8 52 -33. off .68. Average of forty bonds 93.34. up .17. BY ELMER C. WALZER United Pres* Financial Editor NEW YORK, Sept. I.—Stock prices pursued an irregular course today. Further sharp recessions were forced in the early trading, but selling pressure soon spent its force and a more confident tone developed. A few shares which bore the brunt of the early selling were the first to snap back, several recovering their initial losses and moving ahead fractionally. Among these were United States Steel, J. I. Case and Vanadium. Westinghouse Electric recovered an early 1 point loss. Early lows on these shares represented new low’s for the current movement. The main body of stocks moved narrowly in listless trading. Leading bears and bulls both held to the side lines and activity was light, approaching the 700,000 share pace of the preceding session. Character of the dealings was much the same as has prevailed for the last month. Oil Shares Lower In the absence of any important outside news development price changes reflected conditions within the market itself. Further selling of an important nature again made its appearance in issues such as Kreuger and Toll. Atlantic refining and Shattuck and these issues sold off sharply. On the other hand, shorts covered moderate amounts of the leaders. Oils were lower, a development which was not explained by the further widespread shutdowns of wells in the Oklahoma and East Texas fields. The Oil and Gas Journal estimated a reduction of more than 500,000 barrels daily in domestic crude oil production during the past week. Standard of New Jersey, Sinclair and Phillips all sold off fractionally. Utility Group Steady Utilities as a group were steady, notwithstanding the sweeping decline in North American Power and Light on the Chicago Stock Exchange and the New York Curb Exchange. On top of its fourteenpoint slump on the curb Monday, the stock sold down to 48, a loss of 5 more points. On the Chicago Exchange it touched 46 Vs. There was nothing to explain the sharp break in the stock inasmuch as control of the company is held by North American and Insull interests. Amusements again were the principal bright spot, leadership of this group shifting from Warner Brothers to Loews, Inc., the latter up more than a point at one time. Radio-Keith rose fractionally. Rails were unsettled by default of bond interest by Florida East Coast Railroad on its 5 per cent series A bonds, due in 1974.

SIOO,OOO Fletcher American Company One-Year First Mortgage 5% Real Estate Certificates, Series AX Priced at Par to Yield 5 per cent Dated September 1, 1931 Due September t, 1-939 Interest Payable March 1 and September 1 at the Offices of Fletcher American Company, Indianapolis Coupon Certificates in Denomination of §I,OOO, SSOO and SIOO THE FLETCHER AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK of Indianapolis, Trust"

Plan of Issue —These Certificates are secured by approved first mortgages on real estate, which are deposited with The Fletcher American National Bank of Indianapolis, as Trustee, in specifically designated groups or series. Holders of these Certificates in reality own the mortgage! themselves, each Certificate having its proportionate interest in each mortgage securing the particular series of which it is a part. The proceed* from the collection of interest and principal payments on the mortgage* are used in paying the interest coupons detached from the Certificates and in retiring the Certificates at maturity. Security —The first mortgage loans are made under the supervision of officers of the Fletcher American Company. Mortgages are not accepted for a longer period than five years and in the case of mortgages securing this Series of Certificates all mature prior to the maturity of the Certificates. They are strictly limited to a maximum of 50% of the appraised value of the property. These limitations as to the amount and period of the loan are calculated.to provide the maximum protection against unforeseen changes arising in local conditions and real estate values which might jeopardize the security. The Fletcher American Company makes first mortgage loans only for the purpose of supplying the demand for these Certificates, consequently each first mortgage loan accepted has personal attention and is subject to careful scrutiny. All applications for loans must be made on a standard form furnishing, among other important data, a statement of the purpose of the loan and a complete description of the property. The property is then personally inspected and appraised either by officers of the Fletcher American Company or by expert independent appraisers. The appraisers’ report must not only cover the character and value of the security but the moral character and financial responsibility of the applicant as well. The Fletcher American Company has maintained a policy of conservative distribution of first mortgage loans both as to location and type* of properties mortgaged. It is obviously an additional safeguard to Certificate holders if first mortgages are so diversified. We Recommend these Certificates as a Time Proven Conservative Investment Fletcher American Company Affiliated with THE FLETCHER AMERICAN NATIONAL BANK INDIANAPOLIS Registered Dealer Indiana Securities Commission C*rtijlcats Ne. t

FUTURES MAKE GOOD GAINS AS SHORTS^ COVER Light Deliveries Surprise Trade Into Buying All Grains. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Sept. I.—Exceptionally small deliveries in all grains took the trade by surprise today and prices scored good gains on the Board of Trade as a result of short covering and commission house buying. Wheat gains were limited mostly to fractions and the trade was somewhat quiet. Corn was erratic with September bouncing up nearly 2 cents at the start and losing half of the gain later, but the market was strong. September closed around 1 cent up with the new crop months up small fractions. Oats were firrji with the other grains and had fair gains. Trade Is Surprised At the close wheat was H to % cent higher, corn was unchanged to 1 cent up and oats were H to % cent higher. Provisions were strong. Liverpool was slightly lower than expected today and closed % to % cent off. but it had no effect on the local market. The farm board was reported accepting lower prices abroad. There were no other developments overnight. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were forty-six cars.
