Efec. OF Moratorium,

A moratorium ordinarily would not
be hailed as an event which justifies
speculation for the rise. 1t is sign
of weakness, symbol of the break
down of agreement During the last
week, nevertheless, the mark and sym
pathetic currencies recovered quickly
on the news that the Berlin govern
ment had asked for a financial breath
ing spell of three years on reparations.
Anything which will lead to show
down and which will check the pres
ent infiationary tendencies making for
a dissolution of Germany's economic
organization is to be looked upon as
a favorable development. If a mora
torium is granted and reparation terms
are further modified revival of an
international loan, such as the sub
committee of the Reparation Commits
sion, on which j. P. Morgan spoke for
American banking, may be expected
The European nations have elected to
consider reparations and inter-Allied
debts as single problem.

from The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, July I5.--The De-
partment Of Commerce has received
from Charles D. Westcott. economist
consul at Paris, report which shows
the thrift and saving spirit Of the
French nation. The report has par
ticularly interested the officials of the
Treasury Department who have charge
Of the savings work in this country
Consul Westcott says:
"The thrift of the French people has
been national characteristic for cen
turies and has been accentuated rather
than otherwise by the grueling ex-
penditure of the World War
On January l, 1914, there were 49,
O66,OO0 savings banks accounts in
France, aggregating 5,829 900 900 francs
On January /, 1921, the number of sep
arate accounts had increased to 49,
$4,000, and the deposits to 8.148.OOO.
600 francs, gain Of 100000, ,O0O
francs. In 1918 the maximum deposit
for any individual was limited by
law to 1900 francs, but since the wal
the limit has been raised to 5000.
1.-The population of France, accord
ing to the census of 1921, including
Aisace-Lorraine and Algeria, numbe red
39,000,O00. 1t thus appears that nearly
every second person in France had a
savings bank account The economic
advantages of thrift are taught as 8
part of the regular curriculum in all
French schools, and it is the custom
Of parents wherever possible to oper
savings accounts for children"
1t is the earnest hope Of United States
Treasury officials to establish in thi.
country a savings spirit equal to tha
of France. Efforts are being made tt
interest the children of the countr.
in thrift and to encourage people gen
orally to open savings accounts and t.
particularly the Treasury savings Ger

the correspondence exchanged with

He also mentioned the differences ex-
listing between the point of view OF
the American political men and that
of the business men; he noted this
during his stay in America, and point
ed out that, while politicians continued
to propose protectionist laws against
emigrants, foreign products and steam
ers, the latter, instead, are convinced
of the necessity of carrying out pos
tive policy in the sense of granting
the debtors all facilities, so as to en-
able them to effect payment of the debt
even in goods. During the war we had
become accustomed to reading the fre-
quent notes of President Wilson on
the European situation. and, therefore.

tion surprises US.

only explanation that | can offer is
that he is selling goods at no profit.
In cotton Goods much the same situa-
tien he encountered. One of ne most
prominent converters in the trade
whose annual business runs into the
millions asserted last week that on his
staple gooos he has to be satisfied with
profit that barely covers the interest
on the money invested. "The plain
truth is he said, that there are too
many people in the cotton goods bust
ness and to remain in business is the
sole object of many of them. Thus it is
that we meet competition which de

simply because they wanted to keep on
doing business, regardless of profit
or course, all of us lost money on the
price decline, but these people are ac-
tually losing money on rising
market"
Going from cotton goods into the
silk trade the same condition is met
1t is an admitted fact that for many
months silk buyers representing retail
establishments, jobbing houses and
garment manufacturers have been buy
ing finished silks below replacement
costs, and that for time when raw
silk was in the early stages of its
latest upward price movement finished
silks of some descriptions actually
were declining.
"Overproduction is the cause of
this" said one silk man in discussing
the situation. "rhe producing capacity
of the industry was enormously ex-
panded during the war and postwar
boom. 1t is true that many of the
smaller producers were weeded out by
the great fall in prices last year and
the year before, but more of them have
managed to remain in the business than

showing that New Orleans has won
back from Galveston the rank of the
nations greatest grain port show the
continued development of this city as
a worlds clearing house for cereals.
New Orleans lost to Galveston in the
calendar year 1921, when it exported
l2,l70,703 bushels of grain, against
Galveston's 77,685,312 For the fiscal
year ending June 30, 1922, New Orleans
exported 59,00A,397 bushels, or 15,O67,-
6s7 bushels more than Galveston.
In the calendar year of 1914 New
Orleans exported only 34,614,854 bush
els of grain OF this more than 81
100000 bushels were wheat There
were only l,750000 bushels of corn
and rather less oats, no barley and no
rye.
Since then New Orleans has been
shipping barley and rye by the million
bushels. Corn exports totaled 1851
81S bushels in the calendar year 1921
and 24,850,904 bushels in the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1922 Wheat ex-
ports were 55,903, ,904 bushels in the
calendar year 1921. During the fiscal
year ending June 80 wheat exports were
31,S31 $40 bushels.
Galveston has increased it's wheat
exports from 1921 sos bushels in the
calendar year 1914 to 76,373,S19 bush
els in the calendar year 1921 and nearly
44,000,000 bushels in the fiscal year
ending June 80, 1922. Galveston, how
ever, exported almost no corn and not
much rye, oats or barley.
The increase in corn exports prom
ises New Orleans a big business for
the future, as the old theory that corn
deteriorated when shipped by this port
has been exploded. The government
barge line is an immense factor in this
movement.
Barley shipments through New Or
leans may be expected to fall off, be-
cause of the building of elevators at
! Portland, Ore, for th2 big barley crop
raised in the West.
/ A development tina. is considered of
great Importance to the rice growing
/ industry of Louisiana and other rice
| producing sections of the South, is the
restoration. in the Senate, of the duty
on rice. There are nearly three-qu
ters of billion acres of land planted
in rice in Louisiana and some fifty
rice mills. The rate, therefore, affects
a large industry.
With present stocks virtually ex-
hausted the market is carefully
watching the developments of the new
rice crop. The usual early bags al
ready have been sold, but the move
ment of rice has not yet begun. Re
ports indicate that the crop is a good
one in the northern part of the belt,
but is a couple of weeks late in the
southern part, because of the rains
that delayed planting

of Antwerp has been passing appears
to be practically at an end and that
confidence in the situation .e.ms TO

firm and show tendency to rise. Con-
siderable stocks of uncut diamonds

increases to their workers, and the
number of idle diamond cutters is now

that reports from Amsterdam. show
that the situation there is better also.
