REVIVAL OF BUSINESS

Revival of business made slow but

lines as silk goods shoes. canned goods.

ening up of credit consequent on the
less tense condition of the money mar

THE recovery to trade and industry
still drags. but the optimistic feeling
heretofore noted is extending into other
channels, where depression has been
strongly pronounced. Price uncertain
ties continue to restrict forward buying.
In some directions orders are being
placed with increasing freedom. Lack
Of confidence In future values is, how
ever, one of the chief obstacles In the
way of general revival Of activity in a
number OF departments of trade This
condition is especially marked In the
iron and steel industry, where business
shows little Improvement. Advices from
some leading points, however, are to the
effect that producers are extending their
output and adding to their forces.
Favorable reports are received from
the textile division. demand for cotton
goods being well maintained and prices
of some lines showing a rising tendency.
Purchases of woollens and worsteds
have been in substantial quantities and
some lines have been withdrawn. Manu-
facturers of footwear, particularly in
the East, are well provided with work.

reflected in a much more cheerful feel

GERMAN GOLD HERE
FOR PREPARATIONS
Morgan & Co. Receive IL, 2,000,-
900 Observation-Disclosures
Sends Silver Also.

J. p. Morgan & Co. received yester-
day on the Sudbury from Hamburg for
the account of the British Treasury
eighty cases OF gold coin, valued at
s2.s5o.oOo or 100000 gold marks.
The shipper was the Reichsbank, and
the Morgan firm notified the Repara-
tons Commission of the arrival OF the
gold.
The Sudbury brought also three con-
signments Of silver coin. shipped by the
Reichsbank. They consisted OF 269
cases for the International Acceptance
Bank and valued at 130,000,000 paper
marks. or about S1,560,000 135 cases
for the Equitable Trust Company, val
ued at 65.000.000 paper marks. or about
$780,O00. and 140 cases Of silver for a
philadelphia consignor, valued at about
$S00.000. The gold imported was dis
tinctly for reparations account, but the
silver had only an indirect connection, IL
any. with reparations. The silver re-
ceived by the International Acceptance
Bank bore some relation to the $1,000
600 credit extended by syndicate
headed by that bank, and the silver re-
ceived by the Equitable Trust Com
pany bore direct relation to one of the
two $4,000, 900 credits extended by that
trust company LOT herman account.

advised also that thirty-one boxes OF

from Russia and Wall Street was much
interested in the view that it heralded
other large movements to New York for
the account Of reparations. AS a re-
ceiver Of payments on account of repa-
rations. ]. p. Morgan & Co. seem to
have displaced the reserve bank for
some unexplained reason. A few days
ago, or rather since the beginning of
this week. at the request of the Ger
man Government the four agencies here
made deposits with the Morgan firm ex-
ceeding S5.000.000 for account of repara-
tions.
The institutions participating In those
deposits were the Equitable Trust Com
pany, the Guaranty Trust Company of
New York, Speyer & Co. and Hallgarten
&c Co. The Morgan firm had received no
advance knowledge of the Sudbury ship
ment, and for all the information they
possess, there may be additional large
amounts of the yellow metal en- route
to New York for account Of reparations.

prior to the current year, and Is for a

CITY BANK CLOSES ITS
COLOMBIA BRANCHES
Action Due to Poor Business
and SioID Collections.

Announcement Of the closing of the
three branches of the National City
Bank in Colombia was made yesterday.
These branches were in Barranuuilla,
Bogota and Medellin. The action was
said to have been due to improbable
business and slow collections. A few
months ago the bank turned over it's
branches in Barcelona and Madrid.
Spain. to the International Banking Cor
poration on account of a prohibitive tax
imposed on the capitalization of foreign
banks operating in Spain. Up to the
time Of the Colombia action, the bank
had ffty-two branches and sub b-branches
aside from the branches of the Inter
national Banking Corporation. an afflli-
ated Institution.
Coffee and cocoa are the principal
products entering into exports from
Colombia. Gold and platinum mining, to
say nothing of oil, also constitute a part
Of her industrial activity, engaging the
interest of bankers there. The NJ can
tile Bank of the Americas was one of
the first American banks to enter the
Colombia field.

Famous Players Dividend.

Famous Players shares have been a
puzzle to traders for many days. Since
the minimum price of 44Ss for the year
was touched more than a week ago 1t
has worked forward gradually until 521a
was recorded yesterday. Evidently some
short sellers who were sure or their
position In the last half of July have
been inclined to cover because OF con-
fident expectations In well informed
quarters about its next dividend. The
company's directors meet on Monday to
consider its quarterly payment, which
has been 50 share. A statement by
Adolf Zukor. president Of the company,
yesterday. that the moving picture busi-
ness has turned the corner. was not
comforting to the bears.
