( AP t Bursting of the latest inflation bub ble, blown from the suds of silver nationalisation, dominated the fi nancial scene this week. United States government bonds regained a good part of their sharp losses of the preceding fortnight, and pulled the general Investment mar ket up sharply. Dimming Inflation hopes or fears accelerated & reaction in grains and cotton, but the stock market remain ed lackadaisical, and after a modest rally on Monday, merely .drifted. Hog and livestock prices continued to rise, and higher prices for foods were forecast for the winter. No gen eral price advance seemed In the off ing, however, as a number of con cerns seemed more Intent upon striv ing for volume of business than for higher profit margins. Issuance of the autumn and winter catalogue of one of the leading mall order houses, showing reduced prices In a number of line, attracted considerable attention. The divergent price tendencies gave security analysts considerable per plexity, and contributed to the un certainty In the stock market. How ever, the lifting of the siege of drouth In the middle west, although it came too late to salvage any ap preciable amount of damage, seemed to bolster sentiment. A number or business analysts estimated that ag gregate farm purchasing power this year would be 20 per cent or more above that of 1033. lENBURG'S W IN AIR TALK HITLER APPROVAL BERLIN, Aug. 18.

'SET DOWN' WITH INIDN E TORONTO. Aug. 18.

Information gained In dealing with the esse of John S. Labatt. London. Ont., brewery president, who waa held by kidnapers for nearly three days, will form the basis of a discussion by police officers who wilt meet with Attorney General A. W. Roebuck. The question of whether ransom waa paid remained undetermined, In Hamilton, Ont.. a source close to the Labatt family said the kidnaped man believed he was held in northern On tario or the Muskako region and that on' Wednesday night he heard his cap tors discuss various methods of kill ing him and disposing of his body. The talk of murder came at;ter the kidnapers were alarmed by reports they received, apparently regarding police activity, this source said, but later new reports lessened their fflght and nothing more waa aald on the subject. The smell of pine wood gave the blindfolded victim a hint of his lo cation, his friends were told. A report in the Toronto Star that another business man was threatened with kidnaping was indirectly denied by the man named, H. C. Hatch, head of a distillery here.
