Stock Market
Prices Display
Better Tone
Liquidation More Than OFF.
set by Purchases for Short
Account; Lift Pressure
From Rails

whateves real liquidation there was
in yesterdays short stock market ses-
sion was Offset in some degree by the
closing out Of contracts by professional
traders who had sold in anticipation
of making a.profit from the weeks de-
cline in prices. This was particularly
evident in the more volatile issues that
had borne the brunt of the attacks OF
bear operators. The price movement
was extremely irregular, and this course
was pursued until the close Of the mar
ket, with the number of net losses ex-
ceeding slightly the gains over Fridays
final safes.
Leading bankers believe that the un-
certainty created by the failure Of the
last session of Congress to ratiiy the
peace treaty and further selling by
holders Of securities to establish losses
against their income tax returns may
cause a continuation of the selling
movement until after the first of the
wear. when a substantial rally is looked
for But in making calculations as to
the future course Of the market on this
basis it is well TO remember that mucn
of the recent selling has been Tor tne
short account. and that any favorable
news either regarding the coal strike
or the Mexican situation might easily
result in a sharp upturn. :,
Selling pressure in the Liberty oono
list was not so apparent as during pre-
ceding days Of the week. This may nave
been due to reports, seemingly well
founded, that should the situation be.
come more acute the next session OF
Congress may enact legislation which
will enable larger holders to inventory
their losses in making up their income
tax returns. This step is very much
favored in the financial community IN
the belief that it would bring many
new buyers into the market to take al
vantage of the present low prices.
The more favorable condition OF the
banks was disclosed in the Clearing
House statement issued after the close
Of the market. This showed an IN
crease in the excess reserve of approx,
imatelv s35.OOO 900. bringing the total
up TO s7l O0.O00. The gam IN cash
reserves was accounted for manly py
n decrease in the average loan account
of some s60, 600, 900.
New-York tribune., 1919-11-30
The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Most Of the leading foreign ex-
changes developed weakness again last
week. losing a large part OF the re-
covery from the recent DIP. heavy
offerings OF sterling bills drawn
against the huge shipments OF cotton
to England were responsible for de-
pressing sterling rates at this center.
The resumption Of ocean sailings from
this port on a more normal schedule
as result of the settlement OF. labor
trouble has also been an important
factor in increasing pressure against
the different foreign exchanges.
German exchange went to new low
record last week, when marks were
quoted around "a cents. The fresh
weakness here followed unfavorable
cables from Europe bearing upon the
economic situation within Germany.
According to the National Bank OF
Commerce the depreciation in foreign
exchange Is not due merely to the
heavy trade balances, but also to the
fact that foreign moneys are depre..
ciated at home. The gold standard
has been suspended in most European
countries, and the money is little more
than irredeemable paper. No normal
exchange conditions can be expected,
it is stated, until the gold standard 10
restored.
If YOU calculate the cost Of the dol
lar in terms Of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value, that is, if you
we're buying dollars with pounds,
marks or francs, its value at the close
of last week, as compared with year
AGO follows:

PACKERS SAY U.S..
REFUSED OFFER TO
Sell ARMY GOODS
Feared Dumping Surplus
On Market Would
Hurt Farmer.

CHICAGO, Aug. 1S.-In view OF con-
fusing statements concerning the sur
plus food stocks being sold by the
War Department. the Institute OF
American Meat Packers has made the
following statement:
As natural consequence OF the
armistice, the War Department foun1
itself in possession of canned meats
and vegetables beyond its needs. The
meats were not packaged in CONNER
ciaL style, but in a form unattractive
TO consumers. and therefore i'll
adapted to ordinary marketing chan
nels
The disposal Of these stocks pre-
sented difficult and a tedious prob
lem to the Government. For soms
time little progress was made toward
a solution.
Then the authorities having this
matter in charge asked representa-
tives OF the packers, technically
trained in marketing problems, to
offer advice as to how disposal might
b. effected economically.
The goods in question were origi-
nally packaged for. export. To this
purpose they were we'll adapted. Fur
thermore. Mr.. Hoover, directing the
foreign relief work. had set a sug-
gestive example in the cases of Italy
and France by buying surplus gov
ernmental stocks.
Accordingly, the packers suggested,
The Washington times., 1919-08-18

in response to the Governments re
quest for advice. that the surplus
stocks be acquired by Mr. Hoover for
use abroad.
The Government seemed 70 feel
that this counsel was commended also
by the domestic situation with refer
ence to livestock production. Stock
men who had raised cattle in order
that our armies and our allies might
be fed, were confronted by q cessa-
tion OF beef exports. Consequently
the domestic supply OF beef exceeded
the demand. But cattle started in re-
sponse to foreign needs were still
coming to market.
"In this situation II was thought
that possibly the cattle market
would be demoralized and the farmers
punished for their cooperation with
the Government il the army supplies
should be dumped on the domestic
market.

American buyers. the dressmakers
say. are ridiculing the shortness or
the gowns. though frankly admitting
American skirts have been too long.
1t is likely American women VIII get
compromise lengths. One of the promi'
nent American buyers said today:
NO weII-formed woman looks well
in a really long skirt. and it cannot
be graceful"
But he laughed at a dressmaker )
suggestion that Americans want long
skirts because American women do not
have pretty ankles. He said:
American women have the prettiest
ankles and feet in the world. and they
also are the best shod, but they realize
that extremely short skirts are ridi'
cuIed and they believe in moderation
Full Hips Decreed.
The styles generally show slight
ruIIness on the hips in the form Of
soft panniers. with pleats and accor-
dion pleats. Flounces are applied in
such way as to preserve the outline
OF the figure and the stranght hem OF
the skirt,
Collars are high in many cases, and
IL cut open are adjusted so they may
he buttoned close to the throat.
Goats with afternoon costumes
come Just below the hips and follow
Dick Turpin lines, by means OF a
girdle of gaUging. skirts are mar
rover at the feet. giving a peg-top
suggestion. Fur collars reach to the
eyes.
Hats for fall and winter are large
and small. but in all cases will frame
the face. Velvet is the most popular
fabric for hats. and trimmings will
be of ostrich feathers, ospreys, and
monkey fur.

SHORT SKIRTS in
VOGUE STILL, PARIS
FASHIONS DECREE
But American Buyers Say
They'll Be Worn Some

PARIS. Aug. 1s.-Paris first real
display Of styles since the war began
is being attended by about 300 Ameri-
can buyers, who. however, are show
ing themselves to be more independent
OF the dictates of French dressmakers
than ever before.
The new models show brown is
again in marked favor. Soft mate
rials are used generally with fiounces
and panniers. and the designs of the
new models tend toward a strictly
feminine appearance. There is not the
slightest suggestion Of the masculine
tailor made effects Of the past.

Paris is clinging to skirts hanging
seven to eight inches from the ground.
