On behalf of the Cuban government
AS the matter now stands the Cuban
government has informed The State De
Partment at Washington and the local
oanHefs that 1t needs at least SIS .OO0,-
ooV TO take care Of the needs of it's
people IN the present crisis brought
about by the collapse IN the susal
market.
The plan is to have the American
o@Hheis unuerWrlte an issue of short
Term securities to be offered to the
pubic here for subscription. In the
discussions that are now going OF an
issue OF one-year notes to be sold TO
yield approximately per cent is being
considered. This, it is understood, is
favorable to the Cuban government,
out the American bankers are DISPOSED
to fix longer maturity on the pro-
posed issue, their view beir.< that the
present market will absorb a long term
issue much more readily than one of
snort maturity.
Before Cuba can float an external
loan 1t must first obtain the approval
OF the Washing on government Pres
ent negotiations between the Cuban
representatives. and the State Dapart-
ment are said to be for the purpose
of obtaining the approval of the Amer
ican government.
If the present financing plan goes
through the government Of Cuba will
sell its securities in the American mar
ket and the proceeds Of the loan will
be allocatcd by the financial authori-
ties of the island republic to the bust
ness and industrial interests in Cuba
requiring aid. Suitable collateral, per-
haps sugar, will be received by the
Cuban government against the ad-
vances made to its people.

Auto Tires Reduced
By Two Big Companies
United States Rubber and Good.
year Announce New Lists
for November |

Reductions in automobile tires ef-
fective November were made vester-
day by the United States Rubber Com
pany and the Goodyear Tire and Rub
Der Company.
The reduction by the United State
Rubber Company ranges from 1312 per
cent on so-called Ford sizes of fabric
tires tF10 per cent on the larger sizes,
with slightly smaller reduction on
Royal cord tires. The price Of tubes is
reduced Is per cent; solid truck tire
10 per cent.
"While the average prices of tires
to-day" says the company, "arc no
greater than the pre-war prices, the
company's position as to crude rubbe r
md other materials is such that it
feels warranted at this time in making
the reductions named"
The Goodyear Tire and Rubber Com
oany's reductions apply to all tires,
both pneumatic and solid, but not to
tubes The prices are reduced from
Is to TX per cent to dealers, but no
change is made in consumers lists
However, as dealers are not required to
observe the consumer list price, it is
expected that retail prices also will
be affected by competition among
dealers

Half Billion Cain
In Reserve Bank
Loans, Says-Agent
Ready Elasticity of Credit
an Important Factor in
Meeting Difficulties of
Falling Prices, He Asserts

Member banks of the Federal Re
serve Bank system increased ther
loans approximately s5OO0oo,ooo be-
tween August 6 and October Is, ac-
cordlng to the monthly statement of
the Reserve Agent of the Federal Re-
serve Bank of New York, and the rcadv
elasticity of credit at time when cor,.
modify prices were falling has been a
most important factor, it is pointed
out, in meeting the difficulties inhcrent
IN such a situation. The volume of
bank loans in the country as whole
reached its highest point the middle
OF the current month, almost a wear
after the bank loans in this Federal
Reserve district reached their maxi
num-"
The worldwide check in prices ).
the agent observes, (which still con-
tinucs is convincing evidence that
price declines are not purely national
phenomena. Local prices in each conn.
try are influenced not only by local
condltions, but also by what . 5lL.nr
place IN other countries. The recent
turn IN prices in the various countries
came within few weeks time and the
downward movement has been COM
mon to practically all nations"
hegardlng domestic prices the Re-
serve Agent says
THE general drop in prices has nro-
ceeded with increased momentum and
only relatively small number of com
modltles has rem aimed unaffected. Re-
ports from various markets in ali sec
tlons give unmistakable evidence that
read justment is in progress. Manv of
the basic raw products, such as hides.
leather, rubber, cereals, sugar. cotton
and potatoes have declined rather
abruptly, and certain manufactured
articles, notably textiles. automobile
ana number of other products have
hao substantial declines also While
quotations of iron and steel show no
important changes, there is an easier
market, induced by such movements as
the reaction in the automobile trade.
The non-ferrous metals such as cop
per lead and tin show substantial de-
clines
This banks index of 12 basic COM
modlties dropped II u per cent between
September 20 and October l8. the
heaviest months decline yet recorded.
The only commodities composing this
index which have not declined are pig
iron, lumber and petroleum. Both
Bradstreet's and this banks indices
have declined about 20 per cent from
the peak. The United States Bureau
Of Labor index, however, which re
fleets wholesale prices of about $50
commodities, manufactured as we'll as
raw, has declined II per cent from the
high point of May"
Attention is called in the review to
the fact that deposits in savings banks
Of New York State have continued to
increase in fairly normal or slightly
better than normal proportions this
wear, both as to number of accounts
and aggregate of deposits. The cur
rent month has shown a distinct in
crease.

Question-Kindly give me the following
informaton ana your opinion on Cbinnses .'e
government Railroad bonds per nenf
CitY OF lokio per cent bonds. Belgian ~
per cent bonds and United sSates y
mexico per cent?-A. e S
Answer-The purchase of most for
eign bonds is attended by certain
element Of risk, for the reason tha+
there is always a possi ibility of poLtj-
cal complications. We do not imply
that there is any present probability
OF such an event in the countries whosa
bonds you mention, however. The
Chinese bonds and the Toxic bonds are
sterling issues. Therefore there is an
added speculation about them, as the
prce is based upon the course of ster
ling exchange. We regard both these
issues as offering rather unusual spec
uiatlve investment possibilities. The
Belgian 71a per cent are a good in
vestment, we think. This country
shows signs of great recuperation. The
United States of Mexico bonds have
been in default since 1914 3All subse-
quent coupons go with the bonds. The
future Of Mexico appears brighter, for
there is perhaps a more stable govern
ment in control. While it is too early
10 predict what form the refnancing
Will take, nevertheless it is our opin-
ION that Mexico will need the friend
ship of this country and that these
bonds Will eventually be paid.

Considers Four Preferred Stocks

Ouestion--Kindly advise your opinion as
speculative investm,nt Of Cuba Cane
Sugar preferred at the present price. Also
OF Wabash preferred, General Motors 7
per cent debenture and WHY'S Overland
preferred.--W. r. z.
Answer-Cuba Cane Sugar preferred
stock offers a high yield at present
prices-over 9 per cent. Although most
sugar companies have sold their crop
and have made good profits, it remains
to be seen how many of them will
manage during more normal periods
The Cuba Cane Sugar Company pre-
ferred stock is not q seasoned issue,
although based upon present earnings
it is an attractive inve tment. Wabash
preferred is speculative. Much de-
pends upon the operation of the road
under the new legislation. General
Motors 7 per cent debenture stock and
Willys Overland preferred both show
ample margins of safety at present.
