Thirty Performances
 of the Passion Play,
By Associated Press

Omerammergau, Bavaria, July F.- Thirty performances of the Passion play have ben scheduled for 1922 by the committee of 21 which is direct ing the spectacle, but this number will be increased if the attendance demands, as was the case both in 1900 and 1910
 It will require an outlay of l,500,- 900 marks&t stage the Oberammer- gan play and the villagers are ex- tremely anxious about the German political situation, lest conditions be such that foreigners will not attend.
 The 360 burghers, who cinstitute the descendants of the original peas ants who made the VOW to produce the play decennially, personally as- sume the responsibility for this ex- penditure, and the failure to attract sufficient visitors to meet the cost would result in the bankruptcy of practically the entire village. as the Oberammergau folk have slight re- sources.
 Most of the burghers are wood- CdTNeTS,. POllcTS, PaihtSAs s, SSuAP$oA Ss farmers, merchants and small shop Keepers. Only the descendants of the villagers who were saved from the plague in 1883 take part in the Pas sion Play" and assume responsibility for it's production.
 Next October will be | fateful month, for then the names of the vil- lagers who are to have the leading roles in the spectacle will be an- nounced.

tune to borrow money on crops raised at high cost and marketable prob ably at loss. But industry gen erally can borrow money today on good security where it could not bor- row 1t six or eight months ago. That condition, federal reserve board off cials say, lends itself to q revival of business and probably 10 l revival of prices - too, in some lines, notably in farm products.
 Last week there were 75 major price changes in commodities. Fi1ty- two of the changes were declines; 23, advances. Although there is a temporary surplus of raw materials In the United States. the world at large, according to reports to the de- partment of commerce, is terribly short of goods of almost all kinds, Gold is being surrendered rapidly in exchange for much-needed food, clothing, fuel and shelter. And those commodities are going out in lessen- ed quantities each month from Amer ican ports.
 One Noticeable Result
 A noticeable result of the eased credit situation is the rate at 1ich acceptances are being absorbed by the banks and the investment houses. An acceptance, little. known until quite recently is virtually a bill for goods shipped by a producer to com sumner or middieman, due from so days to 6 months in the future, and marked accepted" by the debtor. It really amounts to the debtors prom ise to pay the amount of the hill when it Is due. The bill bears in- terest and is discounted by the bank.
 
 nanks were carrying this accomoda ton to business, for members banks apparently had their funds tied up otherwise. The amount of ac- ceptance rediscounted with the 12 re- serve banks at that time was s35g,- 100000. Today the reserve banks are carrying only s25,000,000 of this class of paper, The rest is out in the mem Der banks, showing their increased ability to carry the load, or in finan- cial houses deeming this kind of short-term investment desirable.
 One of the unusual features con nected with the sudden inflow of gold to America Is that apparently from nowhere into the keeping of federal resJve banks.
 On December 31, last, the gold in the federal reserve banks possession totaled $2,o59, ,00N000. On June 30, six months later total MS s2,461 ,000- 000-an increase of $402 ,000,000. Dur ing that period the total amount of gold imported into the country was $34o, 900, 900. making due allowance for the comparative driblet of S6,0O0,- 900 that was exported. The imports, were less by s62,000,000. than the increase in federal reserve bank holdings.
 Where did that s62,000,000 come from? Certainly it did not come from abroad. It could not have come from the national and state banks and trust companies in this country, be- cause they still have about as mlIs's gold as they had six months ago and the total that they had then was less than $62 2,000O 900.
 Of course, it came from somewhere. The board Is not worrying and a check-up of it's accounts will show, without doubt. the origin. But on tho face of the boards statement the origin of that mountain of gold IS not revealed.

FLOOD OF GOLD
 THREATENS RISE
 IN PRICES AGAIN
Golden Tidal Wave Is Sweep ing Upon American Shores From Almost Every
 Civilized Nation
By HARDEN COLFAN Special Correspondent of The Age Herald (Copyright, 1921. by The Age Herald)


 Washington July 16.-tSpecial.)-- We are getting so much gold from abroad that prices threaten to rise again. As a matter of fact. the index number of national commercial agency-the number representing the weighted average of prices of the chief commodities sold in this coun- try-was higher July first than on June first.
 The first rise after 13 successive months of decline.
 A veritable tidal wave of gold is sweeping upon American shores. It comes from almost every civilized na- ton. It has never come In such huge volume before. And instead of les sening, the quantity Is getting larger much to the embarrassment of cer tain bankers who see an inevitable reaction from the downward swing of prices and another era of imitation unless banks the country over are extremely cautious in letting down the bars.
 At the present time, one third of all the gold on the globe rests in Ameri- can coffers. It has come, drawn as if by magnet, at the rate of $50,000,- 900 8 month and more since the first of the year. England has sent us s1O2,O00 900, France s79,O00, 900, Sweden s43,O00,000. Holland $15,Oo0.- coo; Canada s25. 5.000,OOO; South Amer lea s12,oo0,OO0; Asia. s46,OO0. 900 and even Australia and New Zealand have sent their mite. The total inflow for tho first six months of the year is re- ported by the federal reserve board at s346.000,00o and the total amount of gold in the boards keeping at the present time is placed at nearly two and one half billions
 Credit Capacity Increases
 With the golden flood has come tremendous increase in the potential credit capacity of the banks, The banks within the federal reserve system could lend their borrowers at the present time not less than S12,- 800, 100000 because of the increased gold reserves. The temptation. of course. Is to have those reserves working. earning money for their owners. That, in turn, means lending money freely and lending money free ly cannot fail in the opinion. of fed eral reserve board officials here. to reflect itself in prices and in infla tion.
