npleasantness manifested when l
inquire prices and do not buy. In
procuring the above prices called
several well-known stores and at
ter asking the cost of say three ar
ticles was asked very sternly for
my name and address.
A friend OF mine who likes to
keep posted on prices inquired
about several commodities this
morning. The first price asked was
given readily enough. The second
was given slowly and suspiciously.
Then came: Well, who is this any
way?"
This is Mrs. Jones' was fired
back instantly.
NOW we don't want to antago-
nize the stores here" said my
friend. who Is really deeply con-
cerned as she must feed q large
family on rather small allowance
but doesn't It seem to you that
we might have more drops In the
grocery and meat prices soon?"
I think we most certainly should
have lower prices and l believe we
will as soon as readjustments are
made. Merchants bought at high
prices and must of course sell out
before they can buy moro at lower
prices. so that they may sell at q
reduction. We're going to give
the merchant all the chance In the
world to drop. II he don't, we can
buy groceries in lots from out-of-
town merchants. All the larger city
papers show vast quantities of food
stuffs at thrillIngly reduced prices,

MANY ISSUES
CLOSE LOWER
Anticipated Raise in Re
Discount Rate Causes
Many Breaks.
BY BRoADAN WALL.

New York, Jan. 14-The Federal Re
serve Bank did not increase the re-
discount rate today and the bears
who have been selling stocks so
A. ueeiy in expectation of per cent
rate ~rc left in a precarious condi-
tion with their outstanding short con-
tracts.
In expectation Of a sharp increase
the market broke badly several times
during the day There was sharp
decline shortly after the opening.
The decline gained considerable mo-
mentum in the last hour. and lowest
prices of the day were made at the
close IN many issues.
Il Is understood that representa-
tions wei, made by bankers that II
the reserve bank insisted on advanc-
ing the rate to 6 per cent or even
per cent. there would be such SELL
ing of liberty bonds as would swamp
the market. This action or rather In
action by the reserve bank today will
go a long way toward restoring con-
fidence in Wall Street.
Transcontinental distinguished itself
by falling to . under what looked
like a bear raid by the insiders. The
stock they sold was evidently long
stock. Texas Oil declined sharply on
the same kind of selling. Mexican
Petroleum, Crucible. International
Paper and Industrial Alcohol were
very weak issues General Motors
had its normal swing of about points
down Middle States Oil claimed at
tention with a break of IA points.
Coincident with the announcement
that there had been a big reduction
in copper surplus the copper stocks
turned weak. They had been strong
for weeks to the great surprise Of
Wall Street
Much of the inside buying of steel
that has attracted so much attention
recently was explained when 1t was
announced that the company had
taken s0OfO shares out of the open
market to be sold to employees at 1O6

/ HESE Notes constitute an un-
conditional obligation of the Belgian
Government repayable in New York
City in dollars.
IN addition to an income yield of
over 7%, the Belgian Government has
made provision whereby substantial
profit may accrue to the Noteholders
upon a rise in the value of the Belgian
franc. Under normal pre-war condi-
tons the Belgian franc was quoted at
aboutfrancs s.ISto the edollar( (viz.,19.3
cents per france. Today it is quoted
at about francs II to the dollar (viz.,
9.o9 cents per france. The Belgian
Government has agreed that when
sales of Belgian exchange can be made
,atany price more favorable to the Note
holder than francs IL to the dollar,
any Noteholder may, at any time be-
fore maturity, surrender his Notes and
receive payment of the principal G. e.,
par together with accrued interest and
also 500 of such increased value of
the Belgianfranc. The precise method
of realizing this possible exchange
profit is set forth more fully in the
prospectus describing the issue.
w ITHOUT attempting to pre-
dict the future course of the market
in Belgian exchange, it is logical to
expect that the restoration of industry
in Belgium and the increase in its ex-
ports will tend to improve its trade

Notes, and that the return of such ex-
change to normal parity (viz., s.ISls
francs to the dollar, would give each
$1,000 Note a realizable value of
sI,S6I.5o.
L HE following table shows the
amounts which a Noteholder would
receive for each $1,000 Note based
on sales of Belgian exchange at rates
varying from the present level to the
parity of exchange. This table is
based on the customary method of
quoting Belgian exchange in ''francs
per dollar"
