Church Women Stirred Because "Sun

St, Petersburg, Fla, Feb. 7.- Gowns worn by Katherine Hoch. prima donna, singing with a band at the Music hall here, have in1pinged on the PuritanicaI sensibilities of the church women of this city, and number of them have entered into polite but firm correspondence with her in an effort to induce her to confine her exhibition exclusively to Vocalism.
 The gown that started the trouble is a simple cerise affair, rather thin of texture perhaps and possibly transparent especially in the sun, but undeniabiy possessing a charming af- finity with Miss Hoch's plump and piquant figure. When she appeared in it at an afternoon concert the brilliant sun limned her with a start lingness that could not have been surpassed by the highest powered spotlight.

Movement OF
Reading Stocks
Market Feature
Actual Dissolution Plan
Disappoints Spectators;
All Three Classes of
Issues Show a Decline

One of Wall Streets pet mysteries
eliminated yesterday, when the cold
facts Of the Reading dissolution were
interpreted by spectators. For years
the Street heard persistent tales about
the great melon that would some day
be cut, when the Reading Company
would divorce it's coal property from
its railroad lines. The prospect of
segregation was so closely woven into
market tradition that it was always
easy to start speculative move in
Reading stocks.
The Reading "melon" proved disap-
pointing to spectators for the rise.
This attitude was to q large extent
discounted by the reaction in the stock
recently, and by the reception of the
formal announcement of the dissolu-
ton plan yesterday. Reading common
closed with net loss for the day of
3@ points; the first preferred, points
lower, and the second preferred, AS
points lower. On the other hand,
Reading general per cent bonds,
which arc amply protected by the new
arrangement, rose one point in value.
On the Curb there was active trading
in Reading rights and in the when
issued stock of *he new company which
will be formed TO own the coal assets.
The ghts fluctuated between 14a and
20, closing near the bottom for the day
at 14B, which was within an 1s Of a
point of the opening quotation.
The heavy selling of Reading tended
to unstabil ze the quotations Of other
railroad stocks, particularly of New
York Central and Baltimore & Ohio,
but the movement in rails was irreg-
ular rather than definitely weak. For
their part, the, industrials climbed up
ward toward the close, after irregular
fluctuations earlier in the day. The
activ ty in Reading impaired greater
public interest in the ebb and flow of
prices, and heightened the volume of
activity Under the leadership Of
Steel common in the late trading, in
dustrial prices were bid up
The firmness of the industrial stocks
reflected better speculative mood,
VIII ch was in part due to the strength
of sterliYg ~xchange. Demand sterling
ing an advance of cents for the day
and marking the highest level attained
since last summer. The movement s
clearly in response to reduction in
the offering of sterling bills, or
rather OF the demand for dollars in
London. Unquestionably too the prob
ability of quick adjustn. ent of the
reparations problems also tends to
stimulate the speculative imagination,
but exchange bankers believe the
chang ng trade situation is the basic
factor.
The squirt in sterling and continen-
tai exchanges added to buying en-
thusiasm in the commodity exchanges,
and cotton, wheat, and corn prices
closed with gains for the day.

I'm w all Street
Sac paulo Goes to London

Private cable advices from London
indicate that banking interests either
have closed or are about to close with
the Brazilian State Of Sac Paulo for a
G6,00O000 loan. Details Of the oper-
alton are lacking, but mention the
name of Schroeder G. Co.. interna-
tional bankers, as having the transac-
ton in hand at the London end. More
than usual interest attaches to the loan
in view Of the fact that the so-called
South American banking group here
carried on negotiations for some time
last fall, and the deal was about ready
to be closed when an eleventh hour
hitch checked its contamination. That
loan was for approximately $30,0o0,00
and was to run for fifteen to twenty
five years, bearing coupon rate Of 3
per cent. 1t was planned to secure
the issue by an export tax on sugar
shipped out of Sac Paulo. The opin-
ion was expressed yesterday that if
the loan has finally gone to London the
English bankers will likely make an
effort to get distribution IN this mar
ket by making principal and interest
payable in dollars in New York as well
as in sterling at London.

Japan's Gold Embargo

For the first time in more than a
year the exchange position between
Toxic and New York favors a gold
movement from Japan to the United
States. The Japanese yen is now more
than q cent under the gold parity of
49.8 cents, which would make it profit
able for gold to come in this direction.
However, the Japanese government IS
maintaining what amounts to an en-
barge upon the expectation Of gold, So
that no metal is likely to be shipped
here. Last year Japan imported ap-
proximately 5000 100000 in gold. most
of which came from India and the
United States. Private cables from
Japan indicate that call money is a
drug on the market there at 8 per cent.
Easy money conditions have resulted in
the flotation of large number Of new
security issues.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Demand sterling again scared to
new high level since last summer,
when it touched S3.91h yesterday, a
net advance of about 2 cents for the
day. Foreign exchange dealers pro-
fessed to believe that the higher rate
was not the result Of speculative buy
ing based on the probability of favor
able action at the Forthcoming Allied
conference.
The advance, they held, was due not
so much to an increased demand as to
decreased offerings, and for this reason
it was contended that the present rates
were on sounder basis. Trade inter-
ests who have been aoing business with
English firms on an arbitrary exchange
| basis of $4 for sterling may be wait
ing for the rate to advance to that
figure before executing drafts. In any
event the firmer tone of the market
encouraged belief that fixed rate of
S4 would not be far out of line at
present.
