In another day or so of such trading

summated yesterday, the banking group

period selling $4,000. 900 of the second
lot OF bills to local dealers at 6-16 per
cent, ]. p. Morgan & Co., the Guaranty

to $4O,000,000, will be offered here

The original Belgian acceptance credit
was granted last winter to enable that
country to buy commodities here, One
thing OF another, including legal techni-
calities, delayed the credit for several
months, and the initial block of bills,
amounting to $10.000.000, was not dis
posed of until the early part of June.

American Hide and Leather.

The back dividends on the preferred
stock of American Hide and Leather,
which since 1916 have been a thorn in
the corporations side and which no
doubt have been an obstacle to its free
market movement. are again to the fore
In the directors councils, and II was re-
ported yesterday that new plan to dis
charge this obligation has been given a
favorable hearing and probably will be
adopted. The back dividends on the
issue amount to approximately 116 per
cent 1t is the framework OF the new
plan to pay off the 100 per cent. in per
cent preferred stock. a new Issue to be
fioated, and to pay the remainder of the
arrears in cash. which, incidentally, the
corporation is amply able to do at this
time. A committee has been named, It
is reported, thoroughly to investigate the
plan and report back to the directors
within a short time Three separate
plans for paying off these back dividends
have been proposed and rejected. The
first of them was proposed in 1916, when
IT was suggested that new company
with $4,000, 900 par value OF one kind of
stock or 100000 shares of no par value
should be organized. Holders of the
preferred were to receive 140 shares of
the new issue for every 100 held and
holders of the common 20 shares of the
new Issue for every 100 held. Two sub
sequent plans were discussed. None was
adopted II Is reported that the flnan-
cial problem is nearer to settlement now
than at any other time since the cumula-
tive dividends ceased to accumulate.

The Foreign Exchange TansIe.

Wall Street bankers, who have given
considerable time and attention to the
foreign credit situation and advanced
several plans for it to the Department Of
Commerce, only to see them go very
shortly to the pigeonhole marked For
eign Credits" are becoming exasperated
at what they term desultory tactics OF
Department OF Commerce officials. The
situation is one of extreme urgency and
necessity, they say, To aid exchange
there must be a wholesale advance Of
credit to the countries heavily indebted
to us on foreign trade balances Bankers
of the financial district are ready with
credits. They are anxious not only to
do the business themselves, but to see
American exporters grasp present day
opportunities in Europe. They have
made suggestion after suggestion TO the
Department and carefully drawn plans
have been submitted. Thus far now
ever the officials OF the Department have
made no signs that they even under
stand what is being talked about. The
result, one banker declared, of the
backwardness OF Washington officials in
giving the problem consideration is that
foreign orders are being cancelled right
and left. Two large orders, he said,
were cancelled yesterday. the European
importers electing either TO go without
their goods or to await their own higher
priced manufacturers rather than pay
the present exchange ratAA
