Berlin's Status
Fails to Affect
London Stocks
British Financial Interests
Seem Not to Fear French
Invasion of Ruhr if
Germany Should Default

RON Ife iffbNne 3 European BurCnN
Copyright, 1922. New York Tribune Inc.
LONDON, May 28-Although May
81, when Germany must pay the next
installment on reparations or precip-
tate an ugly political situation in Eu-
rope, is only a few days off the effect
on the London Stock Exchange has
been unimp German marks have
slumped somewhat but toward the end
OF the week made a slight recovery
from the low record of a few days
previous.
Shares of the continental and inter
national companies which might rea-
sonably have been expected to weaken
if anything approaching a real crisis
threatened have, generaly speaking,
held firm. The only conclusion to draw
therefrom is that British financial in
terests do not fear French invasion
of the Ruhr in the event of German
default
Doubtless J. P Morgan's visit to
Europe, concerning which little is real
ly known. has tended to allay fears
through the possibility, it seems, Of the
extending of an international loan to
Germany, but to what extent this is
justified cannot he gauged. 1t is stated
here on good authority that the Morgan
lHteieStS nave dcclOed TO send dele
gates to Austria to study the situation
there and report what basis can be
found for a new loan.
The London stock markets have been
featurcless this week, continued ad-
vance in home railway shares being
the only appreciable movement. The
sinking of the liner Egypt a week ago
Saturday with bullion cargo on board
apparently had little effect on the de-
mand for shipping stocks, although
quotations for most leading issues de-
clined somewhat. Evidently as a re-
suit of the loss of gold and silver con-
signed to India, however, insurance
rates for precious metal shipments
have shown sharp advance
There have been some INQUIRIES re-
Gently for small quantities of coal for
shipment to America, due TO the
miners strike. A quotation is re-
ported to have been asked on $4,000
tons, and should orders of this magni-
tude materialize it would obviously be
acceptable to British collieries, since
the steady increase in production here
c"nclding with industrial stagnation
ard the dispute in the encineeriug
trades has led to an accumulation of
stocks despite considerable shipmcnts
to the Continent, the Far East and
South America

PARIS, May 2S.-Hope of an interna
tonal loan, now materializing, is de-
pendent on the production of suitable
guarantees, and it is generally believed
that it will have a favorable repercus
sion on the whole reparaton problem.
Money Is now cheap in nearly all
countries of the world and can be made
Immediately available without reduc

ernment bonds on d y per cent basis.
is expected to supply 100000, 900 gold
francs easily, as her industry has
slowed up to the point where money
resources arc far greater than her
needs.
The scandinavian countries, together
with Spain. can be counted on for a
minimum Of a billion gold francs. and
the United States and England are ex-
pccted to provide similar amount
each. To this may be added the pro-
ceeds Of the German forced loan of
5000 100000 gold marks, bringing the
tota to nearly 0,000,000,0 900 gold marks.
Although the financial participation
Of many countries is essential in a set
tlement of what has become world
problem, the most important factor is
undoubtedly in the moral influence ex-
ercised through the great bankers in
the economic mobilization Of an indem
nifty. Germany is giving signs of ap
probation of this fact in the bill lust
passed giving the Rechsbank autonomy
precedent to a contraction of fiduciarv
circulation.
France is likewise yielding to In
ternational public opinion by announc-
ing that occupation of the Ruhr will be
left to the last extremity, and if de-
fault occurs May 81 she would, after
consulting with the Allies, take some
actlon such as taxing coal leaving the
mines through surveillance of frontiers.
SO far despite drainage of national
capital toward the reconstruction
France has been able to carry on indus
trial expansion stopped in 1914. In
most cases the country is still inferior
productivity as compared with the pre-
war activity due to a complete destruc
ton. of mines and factories in the
northwest, but figures for April show
a record of extraction of coal since
the war of 2,764 900 tons There will
always be deficit in this production
even when restoration is completed
and electrifcation development is BEING
pushed actively, as in Italy, in order
to offset this difference
