Trade Corporation With China

According to Anglo American Trade,
much interest has been aroused by the
proposal Of British manufacturers to
form an Anglo Chinese Industrial Cor
poration for the industrial development
of China outside the limits Of the
treaty ports to which British activities
have hitherto been confined. It is be-
lleved by leading British manufactur-
ers that, in view of the great wealth
of China's resources, only the fringe
of the trade potentialities has been
touched. The capital of the corpora
tion is to be subscribed in equal shares
by British and Chinese interests, with
the management in the hands of Brit
ish manufacturers. 1t is stated tina.

great scope and value.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Under leadership of sterling ex-
change, the market in foreign bills
gave a striking exhibition of strength
last week, rates on practically all of
of the principal foreign centers touch
ing new high points for the current
movement toward recovery.
The movement was attributed to
many influences, chief of which is the
smaller volume of foreign purchases
reduced amount of foreign bills offer
ing for sale. The conference at Paris,
at which important steps toward fixing
the amount of the German reparations
were taken, also played leading role
IN giving support to the market.
Much foreign financing is under dis
cussion. Chilean loan of, S25, 900 900
is believed to be imminent A group
of twenty mine Danish cities~have sold
consolidated loan Of $4,000, 900 to a
local banking house Plans for a
French government loan of $100,0OO,-
600, recently under discussion, have
been postponed, the French announc-
ing their ability to meet their imme-
diate needs without borrowing dollars.
France has 100000 in payments to
make here on Tuesday. Gold imports
from London continued last week and
the beginning of a movement in this
direction from China was seen in the
arrival of $3,086,O00 in gold bars at
San Francisco from Shanghai

December Railroad Earnings

Additional reports for December,
made public yesterday, presented much
the same picture as those already
commented upon. In most cases there
we're substantial decreases when COM
pared with November, rejecting the
falling off in traffic that took place in
the last month Of 1920. But, compared
with December, 1919, increases in both
gross and net were quite general, with
the exception of Louisville & Nash
Vile and Philadelphia & Reading. The
following shows the December net of q
number of roads, contrasted with the
net of November and of December,
1910.

. Denver & Rio Grande

Rejecting the efforts Of the Denver
& Rio Grande stockholders to upset
the sale of the road to Western Pacific
interests, the company's preferred
stock moved up full point yesterday
to AZ, while the common at 21s was
up half. A few months ago, when it
seemed positively certain that the D.
/. R. G. would go to the Western Pacific
at the courts upset price of s5.00Q000,
the preferred sold down to Is cents a
share, as under the plan by which the
road was to be taken over by the West
ern Pacific its stock was to wiped out.
Now that there is faint glimmer Of
hope that the terms of the sale may
be modified Or set aside altogether the
speculative community is taking fier
on the two stock issues.
