American Smelling
Company to Reopen
Its Mexican Plant
Would Resume Operations at
All Rehneries if Gold EN-
barge Were Lifted

Owing to improvement Of conditions
in Mexico the American Smelling e.
Refining Company is making prepara-
tions to reopen its plant at Chihuahua,
where nearly 5000 men will be en-
ployed. The plants at Matehuala,
Aguascalientes and Valardena are
now being operated on half time.
William II. Loeb, jr., vice-president
of the company, said yesterday that
Carranza mas done much toward re-
storing normal conditions in Mexico,
but that he is greatly handicapped for
want OF money. This. he said, can
come only from the United States gov
eminent. as private capital shows no
disposition to invest under present
conditions.
The American Smelling & Refining
Company since the latest Mexican trou-
Bile was ended has spent large sums
for railroad equipment TO handle the
products Of its mines and smelters.
Among the purchases have been 800
freight cars and twenty-one locomo-
tives.
Should the negotiations between this
government and Carranza result in the
lifting Of the gold embargo on with
drawals from Mexico, all the Mexican
plants of the American Smelling & Re-
fining Company will be operated at full
capacity, according to Mr.. Loeb.

Action Is Taken
To Help American
Grain Exporters
Buying Agency for Allies
to Discontinue Activities
in This Country

An arrangement has been concluded
between American grain exporting
firms and julius Barnes, the Federal
Food Administrator in this city, by
which the purchasing and forwarding
of coarse grains for the Allies Will be
restored to the status that existed be-
fore the Wheat Export Company, Inc,
the buying agency of the Allied gov
ernments, undertook to handle the bulk
of this business. This plan was agreed
upon yesterday at conference attend
ed bv grain dealers from all parts OF
the country, the Federal Food Admin
istrator and representatives OF inc
Wheat Export Company.
Mr.. Barnes issued a statement after
the meeting, in which he said that the
Allies buying agency had threatened to
put out Of business American grain eX-
porting houses from tho Atlantic sea-
board to the Gulf Of Mexico. A read
iu,tment was therefore made neces-
sary.
"With the adven. Of tho food admin
istration and its control Of grain move
ment.p his statement said, "the neces-
sity for the Allied organization mas
been somewhat relaxed, and the 1000
administration, desiring TO MAINTAIN
every facility of the American grain
business, has arranged with the Ailies
that their methods Of buying shall be
restored to the old plan in effect before
transport needs became so urgent.
commencing at once, therefore, the
Allied agency-namely, the Wheat Elk
port Company, Inc.-will discontinue
buyine grain in the West and forward
ing to their own ships, and will again
use the established American export
houses" =.
The new plan, according to DIR.
Barnes, begins with the most cordial CO.
operation of the Allies, the food admin
istration and the American grain deal
ers. II is expected that the marketing
of crops of coarse grain will be greatly
facilitated under the arrangement. The
forwarding organization, built up by the
Allies for the tracing Of cars, will be
continued in use.
George Marcy, president of the Ar
mour Grain Corporation, of Chicago,
who was among those who attended the
conferences at which the new plan was
agreed upon, said that it ought to prove
of great benefit to the grain trade il
all interests will cooperate.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

French exchange displayed pro-
nounced strength yesterday for the
first time in weeks. 1t was reported
in the local market that the United
States government had been a pur-
chaser of francs, which rose TO rate
of 5.731. to the dollar for cables,
against a recent low Of $40. Franc
checks rose from 5.77% TO 5.75. Buy
ing of French exchange by the govern
ment, it was asserted, was due to the
need of funds in France with which to
pay American troops.
Aside from the sharp advance in
French exchange, a sudden upturn IN
Swiss francs, which rose to new high
record of 4.37 to the dollar, compared
with 4.54 on Thursday. attracted atten-
ton. Scandinavian exchanges were
also strong, while there was also a
substantial rise in Dutch guilders.
Closing rates yesterday, compared
with a week ago, are given in the table
below. American bankers have sus-
pended all dealings in German and
Austrian exchange, 20 that daily quota
tions for either marks or kronen are
no longer available.

Current Comment
Cutting Down on Luxuries

General business keeps up surpris-
ingly well in the face Of the uncer-
tainties attendant upon the readjust-
ment Of affairs to meet the increasing
OUTLAWS for conducting terrific war.
The gains in bank exchanges reported
by the banks of the leading cities re-
fleet a tremendous volume Of trade.
1t is evident, however, that thinking
people are restricting their expendi-
lures for Injuries. The per capita
expenditure for extravagant living is
being materially reduced, owing to
war necessity and the pressure Of new
taxation. Agitation of the tax bills
at Washington and the publicity given
70 unprecedented requirements OF the
government for war needs have been
among the influences making for re-
duced public and private outlays. By
degrees, therefore, the American peo-
pie are learning 10 conserve their in
come. and the growth of the thrift
movement within the last few months
has been material benefit in helping
the government float its huge loan.
That the people are practising food
economy is indicated by the data gath
cred by the food administration at
Washington. This is of large signif-
canoe. and ultimately must have i'm
portant influence upon our national
life. Increased taxation will force the
people TO practise additional economies
II is considered a potent factor max

Plan Huge u. S. Terminal

NEWARK, n. j., Oct 25.-The United

The land on which the government

on the south bank, on which the gov
eminent holds an option. IL is under
stood that s7,500,000 will be spent in

These figures add emphasis to the
thrift propaganda, for they indicate
that production is declining at an
alarming rate in a number of indus
tries manufacturing necessaries,
and this tendency can be checked
only by reducing consumption of
non-essential goods, so that there
may be enough labor to produce our
requirements Of essentials. Not all
OF the industries in the list are max
ing necessaries, and decreases in
these cases would be beneficial rath-
er than harmful, but unfortunately
it is apparent that the output of
Injuries is being maintained fully as
well as that Of necessaries. The
number Of workers producing steel
fell off % per cent in month and
the number producing automobiles
increased 3.4 per cent. When steps
are taken to reverse this tendency
TO take the labor from the luxury
producing plant and put it in the
steel mill-then the labor problem
will have been solved.

Active Securities
Stocks

[By The Associated Pressl
The irregular course of yesterdays
dual stock market indicated as much as
anything a division Of speculative SEN
timent, based, in all probability. on the
recent growth of the short interest.
Pressure against rails relaxed some
what, but not before liquidation had
sent standard shares, notably Canadian
Pacific and Northern Pacific, l TO z
points under their minimums of several
years, and prompted fresh liquidation
of Union Pacific, Pennsylvania and
Reading.
Substantial buying Of these stocks
soon effected a marked readjustment,
after which aggressive bear drives were
made against the less active equip
ments and utilities. General Electric
made an extreme decline Of SIS points,
Western Union "a and American Tele-
phone "a.
Steels reflected the uncertain trend,
moving within to point limits, but
hardened later with rails. United
States Steel closed at 1047s, a net gain
Of =. of a point, and related issues raj
lied more or less irregularly from
lowest levels.
Shippings and coppers afforded the
basis of much early promise, but the
former dropped back abruptly, Atlantic
Gulf making an extreme reaction of 5
points on the failure of the directors to
declare an expected extra" dividend.
Marines rose briskly toward the end,
however, the preferred closing at net
advance of points.
The whirlwind wind-up of the Liberty
Loan campaign contributed to the ease
of the money market, but the nominal
demand for longtime funds was no less
factor.
Bonds were again heavy on reduced
dealings, but Liberty 3i2s held at 1890
to 1924. United States bonds (old
issues) were unchanged on call.
