ID. & r.. C.. BondhoIders
Again Urged to Unite
New Protective Agreement Is
Made; Sutro Committee Well
comes Receivership

The Western Pacific Railroad has
withdrawn the offer made on January
81, 1929, to the holders of Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad first and refund
ing per cent bonds, whereby these
bondholders would have received so per
cent in new per cent bonds and the
remainding so per cent in a new 7 per
cent preferred stock. This informa-
ton is conveyed in a notice sent out to
the original protective committee, com
posed of John Henry Hammond, Ber-
tram Cutler, Charles Hayden, Andrew
Miller, Frederick Strauss and Melvin A.
Taylor.
The agreement under which the
bonds were originally deposited has ex-
pred and new protective agreement,
dated July 81, 1922, has been prepared
The bondholders are again urged by
the committee to deposit their bonds.
Richard Sutro, chairman of the re-
organization committee representing
the Z per cent cumulative adjustment
mortgage gold bonds of the Denver &
Rio Grande Railroad Company, has
issued letter to holders Of these
bonds stating that the committee be-
heves that the position of the bond
holders has been greatly strengthened
by the appointment of a receiver for
the Denver e. Rio Grande through the
efforts of the committee, and urging
all adjustment bondholders TO immedi-
ately deposit their bonds with the
American Exchange National Bank, the
deposstary, in order to further defend
the interests of the adjustment bonds

not 30 much because Of benefits that
might accrue from a settlement in
Europe, but because of the gold and
the coal the British are shipping to
the United States. Marks, on the other
hand, declined to new low level last
week Mt Tx hundredths Of a cent. de-
spite the virtual certainty Of repara-
tions relief and an advance in the
Reichsbank rate to 6 per cent, a meas
ure that must be totally ineffective in
checking imitation but, nevertheless. IA
significant of turning a toward a
sounder policy. The recession de.
pended on the inability of Germany
indefinitely to support the mark by
artificial means as the export Of capital
proceeded and on the necessity for
accumulation Of foreign currencies,
pending final decision on the extent
and character Of the moratorium to be
granted by the Allies. A further con-
sideration was that this is normally
the season when current balances run
heavily against Germany and she has
neither generally acceptable money nor
credit with which to settle them. The
meeting Of Premiers Lloyd George and
Poincaire this week may go far toward
evolving solution of Europe's diff.
culties, and international bankers ara
confident that an agreement will be ap-
preached if not attained. The FOREIGN
exchange market, 30 far as analysis
reveals, has not made the mistake Of
overestimating tho Importance of nos.
sible results.
From the standpoint Of the money
markets two items Of last weeks rec
ord were of more significance than tho
easier tendency of open market quota
tons. The Offering and excellent re-
ception Of the $3Oo,o0O,oO Treasury
four-year Az per cent notes, this rem.
resenting the lowest rate yet borne BY
an obligation Of this character during
the current period Of refunding oper-
ations, foreshadowed q further deyel-
opment along sound lines of the gov
ernment's financing program. The
maturities that must be provided for
during this fiscal year are so large in
the aggregate that the Treasury issues
are almost certain to be a dominant
influence in the credit and money stu
alton. Completion of one more step
in this direction without impairment of
the trend toward easement is regarded
by bankers as matter for congratula-
tion. The second incident was the I'M
usual display Of the Federal Reserve
system. To some extent the sharp ad-
vance Of the ratios, particularly in the
case of the New York bank, was due
to the back-how Of credit as the rail-
road and coal strikes caused slacken-
ing in commercial requirements. Aug
mentation Of the gold supply and re-
payment Of bank borrowings, however,
are reaching point where another
lowering Of the discount rate is indi-
Gated.

avs the transportation of food and fuel
IN the East dramatically called atten-
'ion 10 the genuine urgency Of the situ-
alton. But, after a few days. weak
ness. the dominant element in the
stock market reverted to Its original
eneory that the strikes would be set
tied before they could fundamentally
check the basic revival in business.
Signs OF an approaching solution of
the cleavages between management and
workers in the latter part of the week
encouraged fresh speculation for the
rise, which resulted in net price gains
fox the week.
On the eve of his departure for Eu-
rope Jesse Livermore, most talked Of
professional trader in Wall Street,
speaks enthusiastically Of the price out
look for the highest grade of common
stocks. the so-called investment issues.
1t is little afar from the motion pic
ture conception of a Wall Street mas.
ter tape reader to observe him lauding
the tested issues, instead of the more
volatile, wildcat stocks. Ten months
ago. when the bull movement had Just
begun, Mr.. Livermore issued a public
statement predicting substantial rise
for stocks. Many wondered what he
hoped to gain from the statement. I'm
doubtedly, he converted folk to his own
view, and indirectly enhanced the
worth of his holdings. In fairness, it
must be chronicled that his forecast
was verified by the event. This knowl-
edge will lead some to think him in
fallible. With his experiences cul-
minating in 1915 in mind Mr.. Liver
more will be the last to make this
claim. Even a successful Spectator,
who is one of the rarest Of all animals,
need not be right all the time. 1t is
needful to have good batting aver
age, but not 1000 per cent.
Day-to-day fluctuations in the for
eign exchange market, broader by far
than before the war, have little more
meaning at this time than the frac-
tional variations of that period when
the gold standard was generally OBJ
served. Trading is based very largely
upon the commercial needs Of the
moment, and movement in either d.
rection represents principally the
normal backing and filling of supply
and demand. The narrowing Of the
market and the elimination Of specula-
ton on large scale have reduced the
responsiveness of quotations to the
psychological factor of news develop
ments. The broad trend Of events will
unquestionably be reflected in the
course Of the market, but temporarily
there is not present the overzealous-
ness Of the professional Spectator to
discount future happenings. Thus it
has been that the increasing prospect
Of rapproachment in Europe, de-
rived from indications of moderation
Of Frances stand, has not been COM
mensurately observed in the market
valuations Of the leading currencies.

LENINE BLACK SHADOW

krasSin s resignation as Soviet
Minister of Trade and Commerce
is linked mp with ienine's re-
covery and resumption of dicta-
torial power. As long as the
Father of Bolshevism was inca
pacitated the Soviet government
pushed along negotiations with
alien capitalists and concession
hunters. II laid aside the policy
of conscription and even talked
Of restoring property taken from
foreign corporations or individ.
uals.
Krassin signed the agreement
with the Russian Asiatie Con
solidatcd. Limited a British cor
poration for the conditional re-
turn of the lattcr's extensive
holdings. This was IN line with
Russian policy as exposed for
Western consumption at Genoa
and The Hague. But IT did not
appeal TO the convaleSecnt Lenlne.
IIe is much more politically
minded than KrasSin or litvinov
Because Great Britain has shown
no eagerness to admit Russia
into the Near Eastern negoiia-
tions. he has struck back by
vetoing restitution to this big
British corporation.
Leninc is at heart still a Com
munist and militant rcvolu-
tionary. although at times he
talks of making peace with
capitalism. democracy. liberty
and Western civilization. Ills
return to vigor augurs little
progress away from fanatieal re
preston in Russia. Political and
economic terrorism will continue.
And the microscopic minority
which has Russia by the throat
will endeavor to break into the
Near Eastern conference and
other European gatherings with
the claim that it honestly repre-
sents the Russian people.
While Lenine was i'll the Tom
munist hierarchy was a little
monkish. II no longer wears the
eowl of humility and repentance.
