Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
HERE Is an Interesting paragraph
in the newa ot Monday:
"Stocks crashed through to the
highest price since Maroh today In a
tidal wave of buying that plied up a
turnover'of 5,500,000 shares, the larg
est since October, 1930."
WHAT does that mean?
Well, stated In the simplest
possible way, It means that . on the
stock exchange Monday there were
more buyers than sellers. Since there
f were more buyers than sellers, prices
lose.
That ALWAYS happens.
L 15 her 18 the 'really Interesting
D question: "WHY were there more
buyers than sellers?"
TIE answer to that question must
be this: "Because people, all of
a sudden, have regained some meas
ure of their confidence in the future
of this country, and so are rushing In
to buy cheap while buying cheap is
still possible In the hope that later
they will be able to sell high, and
to make a profit."
W ISTEN: '
If people RETAIN their confi
dence In the future of this country,
particularly In the future of busi
ness In this country. It Is highly
probable that the end of the depres
sion Is In sight.
That Is why all this news of rising
prices Is so significant.
BECAUSE It reflects, at least for the
moment, a rising tide of confi
dence In the futuO, the present boom
( on the stock exchange Is Important.
Far MORE IMPORTANT Is the news
of rising prices of farm crops. Wheat
again tilted upward sharply, after Its
somewhat startling rise of Saturday.
Cotton, which means nothing here in
Southern Oregon, but means EVERY
THING In the South, showed good
gains.
From Chicago, great agricultural
marketing center, came this encour
aging dispatch: "Butter and egg fu
ture again scored on the Chicago
Mercantile exchange today. Prices for
the third consecutive trading session
shot to new highs for the season."
That chimes In with the whest
news, which read: "Sweeping up
ward with the largest speculative
demand witnessed In months, wheat
made substantial price gains, espe-
etally late."
F THESE price Increases hold, they
will mean larger buying power on
tbe farm, and larger buying power
on the farm will be reflected In in
creasing demand for the products of
Industry. If there Is increasing de
mand for the products of Industry,
It will mean more employment and
more employment. In its turn, will
be reflected in Increasing demand for
the products of the farm.
Business works that way, In a sort
of endless chain.
ERE la another encouraging note,
especielly for Southern Oregon,
where the wool Industry Is one of our
largest agricultural Industries: the
dlspstch coming from Boston, the
country's largest wool market:
"Sentiment In the wool market la
becoming more optimistic. A large
movement of wool last week encour
aged efforts to advance asking prices
on holdings. Further stimulus Is glv
V en by reports of stronger prices on
recent purchases in the country."
Improving sentiment in the wool
Industry hasnt yet been reflected In
higher prices here In the wool coun
try, but WILL BE If It continues.
INCIDENTALLY, experienced observ-
ers tell us that the oversupply of
sheep In the country is being liqui
dated more rapidly than most people
realise. If that Is true, the sheep
and wool Industry ought to be due
for a pleasing recovery.
rHERE Is some' reflection of lm-
provement In the lamb market.
Within the past few days, lambs have

F
SAN FRANCISC, Aug. 10. (Pi
The way was clear today for con
struction of the San Francisco Oolden
Gate bridge, a project dreamed of
for many years.
The Southern Pacific-Golden Gate
Perries, Ltd., yesterday announced It
had abandoned opposition to con
struction of the span.
S. P. Eastman, president of the
company. Issued a statement saying
his company has determined not to
appeal to the United States supreme
court from a federal court decision
sustaining validity of the bridge dis
trict and Its power of taxation.
Paul Shoup, vice-president of the
Southern Pacific company, largest
stockholder of the ferries company,
followed Eastman's announcement
with the statement the Southern Pa-
clfio Is in accord- with the Jerries
company's action.
''Construction can now 'be started,
as soon as the district gets Its ma
chinery in motion," said Mayor An
gelo Boss I.
Eastman said he still believed the
bridge project was "ill-founded and
Ill-advised" and ."largely a promo
tion." .
He said the ferry company has
been assailed as seeking merely to
delay construction of the bridge so
that it might profit.

OF FRESH REVOLT
AGAINST REPUBLIC
MADRID, Aug. 10. (AP) Royalist
army leaders plunged Spain Into re
bellion today, attacking the ministry
of war at Madrid and seizing control
of the city of Seville.
General Jose Sanjurjo, who escort
ed Queen Victoria Into exile, appear
ed to be an outstanding figure In the
movement. He took over Seville and
the Bmaller town of Jerez de la Fron
tera. The entire country was practically
under martial law as the republican
government mobilized to prevent the
uprising from spreading. Troops pa
trolled the streets of the principal
cities of the south and excitement
ran high.
The civil guard, backbone of he
government'a armed forces, was di
vided. Many of the men garrisoned
In the eouth followed their popular
former commander, General Sanjurjo.
Sentiment was divided also among
the civil population.
The rebellion began with an attack
on the war ministry, but the federal
authorities had been warned in ad
vance and were ready with machine
guns. The attack was repulsed quick
ly, but eight men were killed and 50
or more were Injured.
Former King Alfonso, on vacation
tn Czecho-Slovakla, apparently was
not directly connected with the
movement, but political observers
had no doubt it was a monarchist
uprising with th objective of en
