Long-Term Capital for the Development of Depression “Children” Would Aid Trade Recovery. By RALPH HENDF.RSHOT Time* Special financial Writer
The Chemical Industries Exposition will be held early in December. Forty companies will place on view the products of their laboratories perfected since the beginning of the depression. Os these E. I. DuPont de Nemours alone will present 266 new products. It undoubtedly will rank first in the number of depression “children.” In all probability the manufacture and marketing of new products
such as will be shown at the exposition will play an important part in the next business boom. Millions of dollars have been spent in their perfection, and a favorable market plus operating capital is all that is awaited to begin their wholesale production and distribution. These operations should go a long way toward eliminating the present unemployment. Concerns like DuPont have sufficient capital to develop and market their new products. But in all probability there are a great many smaller companies not so favorably situated. The production of these new products represents national progress, and the administration might do well to encourage their sale by granting loans to these infant industries where they show reasonable promise of success. Modification of the new securities act so that they may secure long-term through the usual channels might prove a worthwhile alternative.

Encouraged by Silver Rise Wall Street is greatly encouraged by the recent advance in the price of silver. Jackson Brothers, Boesel & Cos., members of the New York Stock Exchange, make the following comment in that connection: We place considerable confidence in anew influence which is just beginning to assert itself in all markets. We refer to the probable substantial rise in the price of silver, and maintain that such a development would have far more favorable effect on business than artificial juggling of the price of gold. We envisage a growing demand for American products from countries which would be directly affected by a rise in silver and believe that this would do more to reduce American surpluses than a mere domestic plan designed to accelerate purchases by American citizens only.” a a a • * * The Gold Market Control Recent developments indicate that the United States and England may engage in a tussle over which is to control the world market for gold. Recently the price of gold was lowered in London, while the price the United States government offered to pay was kept unchanged. Our policy has pushed sterling above parity in the foreign exchange market, and the chances are that England is not particularly pleased over the development. It will be mteresting to see what steps are taken in London to keep the pound from going out of sight if we continue to increase the price at which we will purchase the yellow metal. The abandonment of the tariff agreement by Great Britain was regarded m some quarters as a move in retaliation.

BY MAX BUCKINGHAM United Press Financial Writer NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—The stock market drifted rather aimlessly yesterday as the dollar steadied in relation to world currencies. Toward the close prices were ragged in appearance, losses extending to more than a point and gains going to more than 2 points. Trading was dull and there was little at- ■ tempt to establishe a price trend. The dollar had a fairly wide range. Sterling opened at $5.16% dropped to $5.11 %, moved back to $5.15 and around market closing time was at $5.11*4. At this figure the dollar was a little. stronger, the French franc moved at about the same ratio. Carloadmgs Decline United States Steel reported October deliveries of finished products about two thousand tons less than September. The weekly carloadings figures showed the customary seasonal decline from last week, but cosiaerably above the coresponding week of 1932. Motor car production for October was down 33 per cent from September, but 415 per cent above October, 1932. Repeal stocks were among the chief losers today. Schenley Distillers was off 1% point, to 34%, while National Distillers was off more than a point at 92 %. United States Industrial Alcohol was off almost 2 points. The communications issues, which yesterday leaped on rumors of a new communications alignment] underwent some profit-taking today. Western Union was off a point at 52 International Telephone ranged around the previous closing level of 14%, while Radio slipped fractionally. Metal shares received a little encouragement, buying in these issues being reported at about a 4 to 1 basis as compared with other groups on the board. Few Issues Strong. Mclntyre Porcupine was up 1% points to 45%. Homestake advanced 26 points to 330. Dome mines gained 2% points to 28%. U. S. Smelting had about a point gain while American Smelting was fractionally higher. Rails were mixed, New York Central showing a fractional gain to 36%. Oils were a little easier. Utilities eased with Consolidated Gas off more than a point at 39, and Public Service of New Jersey down fractionally. U. S. Steel held close around its previous close of 42, after dipping below 41, while American Telephone showed a fractional advance at 117%.

If We Are to Have Managed Currency, We Must Have Real Management. BY WALTER LIPPMANN
THE one clearest aspect of the administration's monetary policy is its intention. In general terms we know what it is meant to accomplish. It is designed to raise the prices of those goods which have fallen the most, so that those who produce those goods may have incomes to buy other goods and to pay their debts. The evil of a deflation ltes in the fact that some prices fall more than others; if in good times it took one bushel of wheat to buy a pair of overalls, there
is trouble if it suddenly takes two bushels of wheat to buy the overalls. This trouble is called the disparity of prices. To correct the evil of disparity the price of wheat in dollars must rise or the price of overalls mm fall, that is to say, the two prices must come together until one bushel of wheat again buys one pair of overalls. This correction of disparity in prices is now generally called reflation. It is very necessary in managing a reflation to keep continually in mind that the evil to be corrected is disparity in prices. For example, if wheat at $2 will buy a pair of overalls at $2, and then if wheat falls to $1 while overalls stay at $2. you have disparity. The farmer can not buy overalls; the maker of overalls is thrown out of work. That is the kind of evil we have been suffering from. But now supposing that by some monetary stunt you
doubled all prices, wheat would then t>e $2 and overalls S4. Would you have gained anything? You would not. What you want is to have the price of overalls stand still, or even to fall, while the price of wheat rises. Now this is, of course, a great simplification of our real situation,
but it may help to fix in mind the principle of a sound price reflation. a a o TT is interesting to examine what has happened to American price relationships since President Roosevelt took office. Fortunately there is now available an expert study of this subject covering the period up through September. The study has been made for the National Bureau of Economic Research by Frederick C. Mills. There is no more authoritative student of the subject than Mr. Mills. To put his results briefly, and without using too many figures, Mr. Mills finds that from March to July the reflation worked almost exactly as one would have desired in order to correct disparities of prices and bring the economic system into balance.
But he finds also that from July to September the tendency has been to increase the disparities and so to make it more difficult for goods to be exchanged. His findings, which are supported by closely analyzed statistics, correspond with the general sense of the country. Up to July it was generally believed that recovery was proceeding rapidly; since July there has been disappointment and a sense that recovery was halted. What was the evidence of a reflation between March and July? Ignore prices stated in dollars and measure w r hat certain classes of commodities will exchange for, that is, buy in terms of other classes of commodities. In February, 1933, the raw products of American farms could buy, at wholesale, only 64 per cent of what they bought in July, 1929. On the other hand, manufactured goods could buy 111 per cent. These are examples of what is meant by disparity. Either farm prices were too low or manufactured goods Loo high. Until the gap was closed farm products and manufactured goods could not be exchanged successfully.
Now what happened between February and July? The purchasing power of raw farm products rose from 64 to 82 per cent; the purchasing power of manufactured goods fell from 111 per cent to 106 per cent. The gap had not been closed. But it was closing. Trade was reviving. Recovery was under way. Now look at what happened between July and September; Farm prices fell from 82 to 78; manufactured goods rose from 106 to 107. The gap was opening again. The tendency was in the wrong direction. The country felt it instantly and the doubt and discontent of the last three months have reflected it. tt a THESE figures are, I repeat, merely samples. But they illustrate the problem of the administration. It is not simply a problem of how to raise prices. It is a problem of how to raise some prices and how to hold down, even to depress, other prices. For what is needed is to close the gaps which the depression has opened, and that means not only raising farm and raw material prices, but holding down retail prices and pushing down prices entering into capital equipment. For the prices of capital goods are still inordinately high as compared with other goods. The administration has recognized this fact, in forcing the steel companies to lower the price of steel rails. But it has not recognized the principle widely enough in its general policy. Under the AAA it has struggled valiantly to raise farm prices. It is also doing its utmost to raise them by depreciating the dollar. But under the NRA it has permitted, and even occasionally encouraged, a rise in the prices of manufactured goods. Yet such a rise defeats and counteracts its efforts to raise farm prices. a tt a IF we are to have a managed inflation, there must be real management. That means that the administration must be just as active in holding down prices that are relatively too high as it is in trying to raise prices that are relatively too low. Its objects must be, not to jack up everything, but to restore the balance by closing the gaps. For it is the gaps between different kinds of prices that stop the exchange of goods. (Copyright. 1933)

GRAIN FUTURES DIP SHARPLY IN LIGHTjESSION Change in Government Loan Plan Fails to Aid Prices. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Nov. 11.—With North American markets to close for the Armistice holiday tomorrow, fairly general evening up developed on the Board of Trade yesterday and prices dipped rather sharply. Wheat futures closed 1% to 2 cents lower, com was down % to 1 cent and oats were off % to 1 cent. There was nothing in the general run of news other than the approaching Two-dav holiday to account for the decline in prices. The aggressive buying, so noticeable in wheat and other grains Thursday, was lacking. Declines, however, were orderly and the bulk of the business continued to be in comparatively small amounts. Profit-taking by Thursday's buyers sent wheat off fractionally at the start. The erratic tendency of sterling offered no further incentive for an improved market. Traders turned suddenly cautious and preferred to wait for a more stable market. Trading was not active.
