Several years ago information Sc

Argentine Gold Situation

Seekers after easier money market
conditions on second thought discov-
cred that the domestic credit situation
will in no way be affected if the Ar
Sentlne government should substan-
TALLY reduce her credit balance in the
Federal Reserve banks by making pay
ments in this country. The Argentine
deposit approximates $7O,OOO000, and
has been pro-rated among the twelve
regional banks. The gold against the
deposit IS not earmarked gold, and the
situation in regard to the gold hold
lngs of the Federal Reserve system
would be unchanged if the balance
were reduced, unless Argentina
should withdraw gold from the Re
serve banks and ship it out of the
country. The discussion was precipi-
tated by the overcoming of the dis
count of the American dollar in
Buenos Ayres. If the exchange situa-
tion remains substantially unchanged
1T is clear that the natural flow of gold
to Argentina has been stopped.

Stutz Listed ON Curb

Almost two months after they were
stricken from the Stock Exchange as
a result of the investiga lion leading
to the conclusion that a corner in the
stock existed, the shares of the Stutz
Motor Company were officially listed
on the New York Curb Market Associ-
alton. This action was regarded as Of
little Importance in the Street, as
transactions since they were stopped
on the "big board" have been CON
fined to the Broad Street open air
market. About the only interest in
the listing announcement was that it
was reminder of the existing devel-
opment in which Allan A Ryan was

In Wall Street
Baldwin Dividend Outlook

Any doubts that directors Of the
Baldwin Locomotive Company had
placed the common stock on 7 per
cent annual basis six months ago when
they declared an initial dividend of BIZ
per cent were dispelIed yesterday when
the board ordered another payment Of
the same amount. Reports persist that
the Baldwin directors are considering
some sort of a capitalization pro
gram, but up TO the present no official
light has been thrown ON this matter.
Builish Factors
The rise in the stock market this
week has been aided by a succession
Of bullish influences. While at first it
vas apparent that the advance was
started by nervous short interest, it
is said that a fair amount of public
buying has been induced by the ART
val in San Francisco and Seattle of
more than s22 100000 in gold for the
account of the British government and
the reports that the influx would be
continued throughout the summer un-
for meeting the $500,0O0,000 Anglo
French loan falling due in the fall. Yes
tcrday's news that Senator Johnson
would not bolt the Republican party
if he does not get the Presidential
nomination was also regarded as a
constructive influence, for it is a Wall
Street tradition that a Republican vic
tory would be pleasing to the leading
business interests of the country.

TOXIC, May 26 (By The Associated
Press ).-In view of the panicky cond-
tons in Yokohama banking circles yes
terday the Cabinet took up for espc-
oial cons Iteration TODAY the general
economic and financial condition of the
country. 1t decided to prevent any ag-
gravation of the situation, adopting
measures to ease the money market
through modifying the loan restric-
lions of the Bank of Japan and doing
eVcryth ng possible to encourage eX-
ports.
There was serious run on the
5lons in and near Yokohama, three of
these institutions suspending for
periods of several weeks. The Soda
tank displayed posters announcing
that 1t was ready to make any pay
ments required, but crowds neverthe-
less besieged the building, struggling
Tor places at the tellers' windows. The
police easily controlled the situation
there and elsewhere, and meanwhile
the Bank Of Japan rushed $1,000 900
yen IN currency by automobile to Yo-
kohama to enable the bank to make
its payments.
IN Toxic there were no indications
of runs on the banks. The stock mar
ket was Irregular. The Yokohama Silk
Exchange continued closed, and violent
fluctuations occurred in the Toxic and
Osaka cotton yarn markets. The weak
ness in raw silk affected the Habutaye
Cine silk market, the holders being
unable to find buyers at discount
and business coming to a deadlock.
The press advices from Osaka saw
that the bankruptcies there involve LA
ltles aggregating S10O00,O0O.

money from Yokohama institutions re-

McNary Bill and Sugar Issues

The announcement yesterday that

by vote of to 8, had ordered a
favorable report on the McNary bill
prohibiting the expectation of sugar
was used as an excuse by traders for
selling the sugar stocks. Although the
losses were notgreat, the fact that this
part of the list failed to respond to the

commanded some attention. Punta
Alegre Sugar, which has been one of
the most speculative of the sugar
