German Funds Securely
Held by French Decree
Eren Cashing Of Coupons Pro-
hibited; Effect Chiefly Ap.

PARIS, Aug. (By The Associated
Press).-The Commissary General for
Alsace Lorraine in decree issued in
connection with Premier Poincare's or
der safeguarding French interests with
respect to debts contracted by German
individuals with Frenchmen before the
war forbids the withdrawal of any
bonds or securities, the cashing of cou-
pons or the removal of funds in con-
nection with accounts or deposits Sc
questered from the moment the decree
was issued.
The measures of ''retorsion" will have
greater effect in Alsace Lorraine than
in the rest IF France of the 1900 ,oo0,-
900 francs claimed to be due French
men from Germans, there has been col
lected by the Paris liquidating Office all
but about 100000 francs. The
Strassbourg liquidating office, how
ever. which has received claims of
2,000,000,000 francs from Alsace Lor-
raine, still has s00.ooo,o0o francs to
collect. 1t is asserted that the Ger
mans made every effort to delay veri-
flcation of the Alsace Lorraine debts.

Leather

Buying was active last week, due to
the continued upward trend of prices of
both leather and hides. Some of the more
cautious shoe manufacturers regret
that they have not bought supplies
for next season. The higher prices Of
raw materials have caused some un-
easiness among makers of low and me-
dium priced shoes. Leading sellers
locally last week were patents, colored
buck, ooze calfskins in colors and
blacks and sheepskins. Fancy leather
continues to be in demand by bag and
trunk makers. The demand for sole
leather was somewhat dull, but upper
leather sold we'll to shoe manufacture
ers. Notwithstanding successive ad-
vances during recent weeks, calfskins
touched new high levels Saturday.

COttons

The governments cotton crop condi-
tion report of 70.8 per cent, issued on
Tuesday, caught the fiber and goods
trade by surprise. A SO bale jump in
cotton resulted and gray or unfinished
cotton goods were advanced about a
quarter of a cent a yard. Cotton lost
much of this advance, however, and
later in the week gray goods prices
softened slightly. Staple cotton goods
are being bought cautiously by jobbers
and retailers, and little in the way Of
spring wash goods business for next
year has been booked, Mapped goods
have been we'll sold for fall and fair
trading is reported in percales and
some other staple lines. Traders
would prefer that the making of new
prices, particularly on ginghams, be
delayed until next month, according to
information coming from jobbing cir
cles.

Silks

Although raw silk was somewhat
weaker, finished silk goods continued
firm, and the demand apparently is
broadening steadily. Jobbers, retail
ers and garment manufacturers, the
three chief outlets for silk goods, have
been buying sparingly for some time
and their stocks are believed to be low.
Surplus goods in the wholesale market
here have dwindled considerably and
the trade is not hampercd as it was a
few months ago by these accumula
tions. However, the trade still lacks
the breadth that makes for good bust
ness and caution in manufacturing new
goods is apparent, although the in
crease in actual orders has enabled
some manufacturers to put more goods
into work. The crepe goods continue as

Jewelry sales were somewhat better

After some delay retailers are COM

furs. The manufacturers report steady
business, although prices, of manufac-

proportion to the raw fur market.
Coats are leading in sales and little is
being done on capes. Hudson seal re-
mains as the market leader.
With few exceptions raw fur prices
remain firm and some varieties of

STATE INSPECTOR
AND AIDES PROBE
BREAD SALE HERE
Hutchens, Olney and Whit
more Inspect Practice on
Stale" Bread.

A commodon has been caused
among local retailers am bakeries
over who should accept the loss on
stale bread.
With c. L. Hutchens, state chief
food inspector. DR.. J. F. Olney and
c. II. Whitmore, local food inspec-
tors. are making the rounds Of all
the stores selling bakery goods. in
sisting upon an observance Of the
state law to grocers and bakers alike,
and inspecting bakery wagons for
stocks OF stale bread.
Over-stocking OF counters and the
resultant loss to bakers Of a human
food supply. is the principle upon
which Hutchens insists upon a cor
rection. The dealer must accept no
more bread than ne can use; If he
has bread on hand unsold he must
sell IT as stale bread, but on no con-
dition shall the bakers take bread
back and rebate the difference.
To Enforce Law.
Such is the edict that promises
generally understood to have been
practiced by all bakeries here. con-
tinues Chief Hutchens. despite
what may be the personal opinion
of consumers and dealers on the
question, holds that the law Is upon
the statute books and must be en-
forced.

said
Seven per cent of the bread baked
in South Bend is returned to the
bakers and by them sold as chicken

Chief Hutchens denies that his

bakery concerns as the trust, was
taking the initiative in seeking an
enforcement Of the law.
Smaller bakeries. those for

sumner. invite our efforts in this d.
-ection." said Hutchens. They
object to II only that the larger
firms in the trade have carried on
the practice.

That was in 1909 In 1922 in

In closing, Mr.. Ralston said that

against so-called "entangling ALI

again occupy the position OF isola-
ton among world nations which was
