The French Treasury has shipped
S200O0,000 to New York thus far in
connection with taking care of its half
Of the 100000, 900 Anglo French loan

that S50,000,000 30 $SO, 1000 900 would
come across the water on this account.
Bankers here in charge of the arrange
ments said yesterday that more gold
might be expected on this particular
movement, but stated that some of the
metal might not arrive until after the
loan had reached maturity. The Bank
Of France, which has shown large de-
c"ea the amcunt of it's holdings
of gold for several weeks past rs a

Checked by Sales
Renewal of Pressure Follows
Pcssilnistic Trade Outlook
and Reports That Banks
Would Not Change Policy

Private advices from tho South that
increased banking facilities were to
be made available for financing the
holding of cotton seemed partly re-
sponsible for sharp rally in the cot
ton market yesterday.
For q time the buying was active,
causing rallies of about 35 to rs points
from early low levels. but the advance
met increased offerings on reports of
increasing mill curtailment with most
months making new low ground for
the day in the late trading. After the
circulation of notices early, October
was relatively firm, selling up to BATS
and closing at 24.04, or 40 points net
higher, while later months showed net
declines of 25 to SO points.
The advance to 22.9O for December
ran into considerable selling, and there
were reports later that there had been
no change in the policy Of banking in
terests with reference to financing
cotton. This was a disappointment to
midday buyers and December broke to
ZOO in the later trading, closing at
22.02. Southern spot markets as Off
cially reported were irregular.
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 1925 for mid
ding. No sales were reported.

the Swiss are becoming anxious be-
u of the fact that many Germans
accused by the Allies of war crimes,
are 1ocking to Switzerland to escape
liability under the provisions of the

law against the entrance into that

Indeed, it will be a great surprise il

WHAT THE GOOD
ROAD WILL DO

When a hard road from a country
center into the outlying district is
built an economic and social trans
formation is made. Not merely can
the farmer haul his goods cheaply to
the railroads, but he is connected up
with all the facilities of modern life.
He and his family will come in more
frequently to buy goods at the stores,
instead of sending away to mail-order
houses. They will all come in more
to social events, and churches and
societies will get better support. This
will help tie center to take on new
forms of community activity, and it
helps the rural family to broaden
out into a higher scale of living and
doing business.
