Answer-We agree with you that

tuate somewhat, however. Yet, if you
purchase sound securities you should
not be concerned over that. The New
York Central per cent and the Penn

Increased Imports to Pay
For U. S. Goods Suggested

With foreign gold to pay for Ameri-
can goods virtually exhausted and
American securities held by foreign
investors we'll bought up or redeemed,
the only way left for the payment for
American merchandise shipped to for
eign markets is through the increase
Of imports, according to Mark Sheldon,
Commissioner for the Australian Com
monwealth. Speaking yesterday before
the New York Board of Trade and
Transp sportation, Mr.. Sheldon elaborated
on this theory and drew attention to
his country as a suitable field for
imports.
Tho United States can well turn to
Australia" he said, for quality and
quantity of imports that can be sur
passed by no other producing nation in
the world. For instance, besides the
staples of wool, hides and pelts, Amer
ica can import from Australia butter.
eggs, cheese, fruits, preserves, poultry,
meats, hardwoods and thousand and
one primary products for which there
is good market here. In this way
the balance of trade between the
United States and Australia, for one
instance, would tend to be equalized" :"

Stock Slump Continues
On Amsterdam Exchange

AMSTERDAM, Oct. 13 (By The AS
sociated Press) THE slump in stocks
continued to-day and there was nerv-
Gus trading on the Amsterdam Ex-
change, where for the last ten days
Dutch and Dutch Colonial shares, prin-
cipally rubber, sugar and petroleum,
have been tumbing. Financial experts
lay much of the responsibility for the
slump to the decrease in the prices OF
American gasoline and rubber. Dutch
shipping stocks have shared the fate
of the other issues which have ex-
pericnccd drops.
An example in the fall in prices is
Royal Dutch Petroleum, which to-day
was $50 norns, drop of Is points
since yesterday and Of 120 points since
October d.
Coast Java Rubber fell % points
in the days trading, to 280, as COM
pared with 319 October d, and Havana
Sugar fell to 6o21a, as against 776 ten
days ago.
This depreciation adds new worry
to the cares of the Dutch finaneiers
who already were troubled by the fall

exchange to-day was 1923 guilders to
the dollar, where a few months ago il

gave the wheat market strong tone
during yesterdays session. Early in
the day there was decline of about
~ cents bushel owing to weaker
markets in the northwest and in
canada over the holiday, but subse-
0uently prices advanced 6ia to z cents
and closed with net gains of 1% to
l2iac.
r The aggressive attitude on the part
sof farmers undoubtedly had some in
Auence on values, although it was the
prevailing impression that the pro-
posed holding policy can have only a
temporary influence On value if the
supply and demand situation the
world over does not justify higher
prices.
Country offers were said to be fair,
winch was thought to show that farm
ers are inclined to sell some of their
wheat before the holding plan goes
lnto effect, and cash premiums were
Z lower, especially for American wheat.
This has rendered the American mar
ket somewhat below a parity with
Canadian wheat, and Consequently
most of the business yesterday was
of the domestic product principally

mated at about 100000 bushels to

Z. S. to Sell Wooden Ships
235 Will Be Included in List
With Steel Vessels

WASHINGTON, Oct 13.-Another eff
fort is to be made by the Shipping
Board to dispose of its fleet of 285
wooden steamers. They will be offered
for sale on private competitive basis
with .92 steel steamers. Terms OF the
sale of the steel ships are 10 per cent
cash on delivery and the balance in ten
years, while for the wooden ships 10 per
cent cash will be required on delivery
and the balance in three years.
Belief that some of the wooden steam
ors may be disposed of to foregn buyers
was expressed at the board, and it was
thought by some officials that such sales
could be made before the appointment
of the new board by President Wilson.
Sale of the steel ships, however, is linn
tied to American buyers.

plus by over $4,0O0,000. In what form
these assets arc may be judged by the

Decline i'm Cotton
Carries Prices 10
New Low Records
General, Selling, Especially
Southern Pressure, Held
Responsible for Contin-
ued Downward Trend

An accumulation of orders to sell
hedges from the South over the holi-
day and renewal of Wall Street and
local pressure sent cotton prices into
new low ground for the season yester-
day. A better demand was encountered
as the market approached zoe for De-
cember deliveries, however, and there
were rallies later, December selling
up from 2O.O5 to 20.42 and closing at
2o.33. The general market closed
steady at a net decline of 10 to az
points, after having shown net losses
of about so to so points during the
early afternoon.
There was q good deal Of buying to
take profits by old shorts and some
trade demand on a scale down, but the
decline was not more than temporarily
halted until December touched 20.05
Covering then became more active and
there were rallies Of some 35 to as
points from the lowest, which were
not fully maintained except in the case
of October contracts.
The weekly report Of the Weather
Bureau proved quite as favorable as
expected, but the early afternoon rally
was promoted by reports of storm
in the extreme Northwest, which prom
ised to swing across the country and
bring another cold wave to the belt
Southern spot markets as officially
reported were unchanged to 100 points
lower. The lowest quotation for mid
ding cotton was 2O25 at Norfolk, but
most of the comparatively light busi~
ness was in the Southwest Norfolk
reported sales Of 176 bales at the de-
cline
The local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 23c. No sales
were reported.

Chemical Prices DrOn

Prices for chemicals and drugs con-
tinue to fall steadily, according to
Drug and Chemical Markets, with
second hand holders making quotations
low those published by producers.
TINS, 1t IS felt, is due in part to the
attitude of the banks in refusing to
lend money on commodities for specu-
latlVe purposes. The rush of second
hand holders to realize on goods in
stock, says the report, cannot con-
tinue long. Another price depressing
influence is the increase of imports
from Europe at prices impossible for
American manufacturers to meet.

Corn Prices Irregular
In Feuerish Trading

The corn market was feverish and
irregular. Prices rallied from an early
decline, but late in the session the Oc
tober position developed weakness un-
der increased pressure and for the
.Hrst time sold at a discount under the
'iate months This resulted in carry
ing charges which usually denote a
bear market. Cash houses were fair
buyers of the late months and were
thought to be. switching their holdings
INTO these positions.
IS Receipts were somewhat smaller, but
stocks are now unusually large at
terminal points, especially at Chicago
Exporters were said to have taken
about 100000 bushels, although no
