Would Allow Each Country
To Keep One Shipyard In
Operation And Replacing
OF Vessels From Year In

(By The Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 14.-Great
Britain's acceptance "in princl-
ple," of the American proposals
Tor limitation Of naval ornaments
as it will be laid before the con-
ference will be based on what are
described as Certain definite
llodlhcations."
Replacement Program.
Considered most important
among the British modification is
the program for replacement. In
stead Of a fiat ten year holiday
during. which no new ships shall
he built, the British have in mind
that the replacement program be
carried on from year to year and
thus keep the shipyards from go
ing to rot, or allow each country
one shipbuilding plant.
The figure of ninety thousand
tons of submarines fixed by the
American proposals, Great Bri-
tain's naval experts consider too
high, as the British navy never
possessed that tonnage of subma-
rincs.
Il is said that Great Britain
may even propose the abolition Of
submarines, and if she does not
fars,will work for limita-
SIZE and armament.

With Bootleg Business.

Winnipeg, Man, Nov. 14.-Inquit-
Gus, pestilential and disgraceful, were
some Of the adjectives used by Rev.
G, E.tWhiting, former Presbyterian
minister at Gainsboro, Sask., in de-
scribing conditions in southern SaslS-
atchewan. brought on by an army of
rum-runners which for many months
has been over-running that province
from states directly south.
The invasion of the booze gang
which Is said to consist mostly of a
collection of thugs and crooks has
created intense disgust among the
law-abidtng elements in that district.
Mr.. Whiting said feeling borders on
terror, for rum-runners, travel heavi-

on having the right of way over all
other traffic and it is not safe for an
ordinary citizen to question that in
sistency.
4 Constitute Danger.
- The fact that rights of Canadiars
citizens are being made subservient to
the might Of an army of we'll armed,
ruthless criminals has created disgust,
Mr.. Whiting said. A person does not
object to driving of the road to let a
fellow citizen pass. but to be forced
'by threats, backed by large cahbre
guns to vRcate the roads to let high

Central Leather

Somebody was apparently badly mis-
led on the Central Leather dividend
action yesterday, as on the receding
day the word was confidently circulated
that the regular quarterly disburse-
ment Of u per cent on the preferred
stock would be declared. The sources
who expected that this rate would be
maintained said they obtained their in
formation from certain members of the
company's executive committee. Pass
ing of the dividend entirely was inter
preted as being a reflex of the whole
business situation. and bear operators
jumped at the opportunity afforded to
depress values. Other stocks, whose
dividend outlook is uncertain, Joined
with the Central Leather issues in the
downward plunge. The preferred broke
from 78% to II and closed at II y, with
a net loss for the day of eight points.
At 351a the common was down AS
There were several houses, however
which insisted that the passing of the
preferred dividend was not an alto
gether unfavorable development. in
these quarters it was argued that yes
terday's action of the board was merely
a recognition of past conditions. Re
cent developm ents in the leather indus
try, it was stated, indicated that the
worst phase of the business depression
had been passed.

French Loan subseriptions

According to the plans Of the man
ayers of the $100,000,000 French loan
syndicate which is making a formal
public Offering of the issue to-day, 1t
is expected that distribution will have
been completed late Friday so that the
books may be closed at that time. Re
ports as to the success of the loan
we're conflicting yesterday, although
the bankees directly in charge Of the
underwriting said the response had
been fully up to expectations; in fact,
the bonds had gone relatively better
than the recent Burlington financing
Much was heard yesterday Of unethl-
cal practices by certain firms of deal
ers participating in the distribution,
and it is understood that in some cases
such houses have been thrown out Of
the syndicate and "blacklisted." Tie
practice which has particularly aroused
the ire Of the syndicate managers has
been the acceptance by some firms Of
the City of Paris 8 per cent notes at
par or better in payment for the new
French 715s. This amounts to taking
in the City of Paris notes at premium
and is considered a violation Of the
syndicate agreement. One firm was re
ported Yesterday to have offered TO
take the Paris Is in at 1001a, or l1s
points above the market. transac-
tion of this character would be tanta-
mount to selling the new French 7H2s
at 931a, or IL points under the formal
Offering price of 95.

Government Issues Depressed

While opinions in the financial com
munity differed yesterday as to the
pract;cability of President Harding's
proposal, made in his address of Mon
day evening, to take the Allied obliga-
tions held by the United States Treas
ury and sell them to the American pub
lie, the heaviness of most of the active
outstanding Liberty Loan issues was
believed in some quarters to register
disapprobation. Investment bankers
held that the unloading upon the mar
ket of any large mass OF such securi-
ties carrying United States govern
ment Endorsement and fairly high
rate would seriously affect all out
standing issues of securities and ''kill'
the general investment market for
long time to come. The disposition of
most financial experts was not to take
the proposal seriously. The Liberty
Loan second 414s declined below 81 IN
the market, the third Liberty Loan
4As dropped from 90.6S to 90.62 and
the fourth Liberty Loan 4h 5 from 1924
to 1920. The first Liberty Loan 312s.
the tax exempt issue, broke at one
stage to 877O, new low record, but
closed unchanged at SO. This issue
has been in free supply for some time
past because of the general belief that
the tax burden is to be lightened,
which will narrow the market for this
issue. The Victory Loan 434s proved
an exception to the general market
trend in the U. S. issues and moved
up from 9758 to 97.74.

U. S. Steel Earnings outlook

Unless there is decided improve
.nent in the new orders taken and
specifications received against old con-
tracts by the Steel Corporation sub
salaries in June, the American NJ etal
Market states under date of May 23
that earnings for the current quarter
will not be sufficient to cover the divi-
dend requirements on the common and
preferred stocks. "In fact" adds this
publication, "indications are that Cor
poration earnings in April, May and
June this year will be less than $10,-
100000. New business is light, and
since the 1st of May is understood
to have averaged less than 10000 tons
a day. Specifications against contracts,
however, have been slightly larger than
new orders. Reduction in wages did
not take effect until May 16, but the
lower prices for rolled products be-
came effective April 13 So that during
the second half of April and the first
half Of May net earnings were prob
ably not over 81 net ton of shipments.
but during the first half Of April and
the second half of May, net earnings
probably average Sc ton. Upon this
basis earnings of little over Sc, 3,000,-
600 were indicated in April and only
a little under $2.500,000 in May"

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Foreign exchange rates on leading
European centers fuctuated violently
yesterday, finally showing net advances
over Mondays closing quotations after
early declines which carried rates for
demand sterling down to $392h2.
The same influences prevailed as
were felt Monday, and the weakness of
sterling was attributed to buying of
dollars in London, the rates there de-
clining as low as $3.91A. When this
ceased to be factor in the afternoon
a strong demand developed here for
sterling and the rate advanced quickly
to $3.963s, net advance for the day
Of / u cents.
Francs and other European curren-
cies swayed with sterling, closing with
substantial gains for the day. French
francs advanced 10 points, while the
gain on Swiss francs was smaller Nor
wegian rates continued downward.
South American and Far Eastern
rates were irregular and fluctuations
were small. The yen recovered slightly,
but exchange on Hong Kong dropped
back.
