OFFICIAL RAT CATCHER
FOR CITY POST OFFICE
Angora Cat from Italian Legation
Presented to ?. M. Chance.

VI. o. Chance. city postmaster. was
yesterday presented with a beautiful
Angora cat by the Animal Rescue
League. G49 Maryland avenue south
west, in appreciation Of his humani-
tartan work last summer. One day
Mr.. Chance while passing through the
Union Station saw a crate of dogs as
signed to one of the army camps.
They had been without food or water
for several days. He Immediately no.
titled the Animal League of the condi-
tion of the dogs. and the gift yester-
day was an acknowledgment of his
thoughtfulness.
Mr.. Kerlin. the assistant postmas-
ter" Mr.. Chance said yesterday, was
officially named the keeper of the
kat by me today It will be his duty
to see that Victoria Emmanuel the
new name for the cat. which came
from the Italian Legation, Is on the
pay roll as the official rat catcher.
TT is a tradition. and believe that
one time there was a special appro-
priation provided by Congress, that
each postofice have a cat. We have
been without an official office cat for
some time. so appreciate the gift of
the Animal Rescue League very
much"

Loan for Belgium
Many Other Inquiries for

Wall Street; Consider
Bank Pledges the Best

The negotiations of the Belgian
government for another loan in this
country are in the hands of Paine,
Weber & Co., stock exchange
firm, bankers said yesterday AL
though no member of the firm would
reveal information, it was reported
that the Belgian Finance Minister has
allowed it until August Is TO COM
plete arrangements.
Belgium needs almost an unlimited
amount of credit, and the exact size
of the proposed loan would depend
on the amount bankers here deem ex-
pedient.
Officers Of the large banks with in
ternational affiliations yesterday re-
ported flood of inquiries from for
eign banks and foreign trading houses
tor credit. In considering loans to
European countries whose govern
ments are unstable, some astuto
ttinanciers prefer guarantees from
banks. whose assets are tangible than
from the governments themselves.
They argue that, even if governments
fall and their debts are repudiated BY
the succ ceeding governments obliga
tions on banks are likely to be good,
except in extreme revolutions where
private property is confiscated Tha
case of Mexico, in which bank obli-
cations were paid off long after the
government had defaultcd on it's iu-
terest on its debt, is cited in this
connection.
Representatives of German in
terests continue to feel out sentiment

Wall Street
Market Rallies

Much of the ground lost on Mondays
sharp break in stock market values
was recovered yesterday. 1t was a
complete right-about-face, although
sentiment continued more or less in a
state of unsettlement. To say that
the reversal in the markets trend sur
prised the professionals is putting it
mildly. The rank and file came down
70 the Street looking for food Of sell
ing orders as result of the swift fall
IN prices the day before and the hurry
call for more margin. Nothing of the
sort happened. The market hesitated
at the opening, but did not decline fur
ther. This proved disconcerting to the
professionals who had sold stocks for
the fall the day before, and the market
lad not been open an hour before short
covering operations began to be re-
nected in rallying in prices. The
movement continued throughout the
day, being accelerated in the closing
nour. 1t was helped along by fresh
speculative buying for the advance
which appeared IN numerous of the
industrial issues that displayed such
weakness on Monday.
New-York tribune., 1919-07-23
Decline Not Over

Despite the better tone displayed by
stocks generally the majority of houses S
continue to advise caution in the mat
ter of new long commitments: The
bearish sentiment that prevailed on
Monday was not dissipated by the re-
covery, and the opinion was expressed
in many quarters that the lowest prices
on the present movement have not yet
been reached. Tight money, the posi-
bility of labor trouble in the steel in
dustry, and the foreign credit situa-
ton, are too important factors to be
overlooked it was pointed out, and un-
til these uncertainties have been re-
moved the speculation for the advance
is likely to be much restrained, 1t was
stated. Reassuring statements were is
sued during the day to the effect that a
strike of the steel workers is not prob
able. That the situation is far from
favorable was shown, however, by the
action Of the officials Of the Bethle-
hem Steel plant at Steelton, Penn, re
fusing to grant the employees an hourly
wage increase of 20 cents. Advlces
from that centre we're to the effect that
employees in the open hearth depart
ment have threatened to walk out un-
less the increase asked is granted.

Gary Denies Danger
OF Unionizing and
Steel Mems Strike
" orkers Well Protected by
Present Methods, He
Says; Favors Indorsing of
Treaty; Big Boom Ahead

Ebert H. Gary, chairman Of the
United States Steel Corporation, de-
clared yesterday he did not believe
that the movement now under way to
unionze the employees of the steel COM
pany and to bring about general
strike will meet success.
"The employees" he said, "have re-
ceived and will continue to receive,
better treatment and better condi-
tions Of employment from the Steel
Corporation under its principles and
policies pertaining to labor than they
could expect through the efforts of
labor unions"
In reply to inquiries regarding the
prospects for foreign business in the
iron and steel industry, particularly
with relation to the present great de-
probation in the value of the British
pound sterling, Judge Gary said:
Sees Prosperity Ahead
"a large foreign business is being
offered and will be offered in increas-
ing amounts. do not see anything in
the way of a satisfactory export bust
ness during the remainder of this year
and longer, unless it is the question
of exchange, and. while not competent
to speak as banker, | think the nat
ural and necessary way Of taking care
Of that question is by purchases of
more foreign commodities
"We can do this as we have the
necessary money, with a majority of
the people we'll supplied. l expect to
see the volume of imports increase and
the export business increase more
than would ordinarily be the relative
proportion.
"This country never had as good a
chance to prosper as at present If we
are sufficiently skilful to seize upon
and utilize the opportunities offered u.s."
Wants Treaty Ratified
Judge Gary said he was in favor
of speedy ratification of the peace
treaty. and of the covenant of the
league of nations in the form brought
back by the President.
II have always been a Republican, !"
he said "but | feel, as do the great
majority Of Americans, that it is for
the best interests of the world to sup
port President Wilson's stand, and
later, if reservations or amendments
are deemed necessary, to make them
then. | think we can safely assume
that the President obtained the best
treaty he could durlns the delibera-
tions at Versailles"
