S. C. & F. Dow Jones Summary of yesterday's
markets
Trading to-day had sincked, al- though corporation reports continued good. The Street is now awaiting the General Motors report and other major statements before making any frus further commitments. Meanwhile, large-scale motors are steady, coin- cident with the opening of the Auto and manufacturers are moder- ately optimistic but cautious.
I have spoken of the pledge of co- operation which has been offered to me and gladly accepted by me this morning. In return I wish to give explicit expression to that pledge which is implicit in the acctance from His Majesty the King of the high honour and duty of the governorship of one of his possessions. That pledge is that throughout my tenure Bonds were lower, led by railroad' of office in this Colony, which is so bonds, but United Sintes Govern important an outpost of our great Em- ment issues were higher, Curb stocks pire and has to

Speaking on "Publicity: The Key To Prosperity" Sir Charles Higham recently said-
"The more a.country, a product, or a causa is advertised, the more successful it will be. The papularising of bread, alectricity, gas, fruit and boar has been successful duo fargely to the fact that the public has been informed as to the advantages of using those articles or Barvices through the Press, which forms the most profitablo and the loast expensive way to reach the greatest number of people in the shortest possible space of time: and any advertiser who uses it knows it,”
The newspaper takes the advertising into the home.
