The straits conference was sched-

When Tchitcherin arrives to-mor-
row or Saturday the Russian delega-
ton will decide whether to leave the
conference or participate merely in
discussion of the straits.
The main controversy concerning the
straits is ovef warships. The Russians
are against any warships whatever. as
| they would constitute, according the
Bolshevist point OF view. menace to
the Black Sea, in which there is no Rus
sian fleet. The British are for freedom
of the straits for warships, without re-
strictions. The Turks want partial free
oom OF the straits for warships. permit
passageway. The Americans win not
discuss their position. though ii is un-

British attitude. The argument ad-
vanced against this. OF course, is that

finishing up on the coming falls goods.
For the last two or three months there
has been little dema nd for coal tar in
termediates from the color makers. as
textile requirements for the fall had been
met. The whole coal tar industry is
beginning to reflect textile preparations
for the coming spring. Benzol has been
the most active crude. The many uses
to which 1t is put aside from it's use as
an Intermediate maker accounts for
the widespread demand at this moment.
The coal strike has precipitated a lot of
buying that probably would never have
been undertaken had conditions been
otherwise. Fear of not being able to
cover on requirements has led many
consumers to buy.

FEDERAL RESERVE
HAS RUSSIAN GOLD
Most Of Supply Absorbed
Here, According to State
ment of the Board.

WASHINGTON, June 26-The Federal
reserve system has absorbed most Of
Russia's gold. according to a survey OF
the gold situation issued tonight by the
Federal Reserve Board. although the
amount is undetermined.
Gold reserves of the central institu-
tions Of the principal countries accord
ing to the board amounted to $751;
100000 on the latest available date.
about April, 1922, as compared with
1891, GOO. 900 at the end of 1918. the
increase at first being due to additions
to gold reserves from circulation but the
latest additions coming chiefly from the
absorption of the Russian central gold
reserve. The Russian reserve, the board
stated. amounted to $7S7. 100000 In 1913,
but was not included in the present total
because the amount remaining in Rus
sia was unknown.
There Is no question. however," the
board said. that the major part of the
Russian gold has found its way into
the reserves of other countries and
most Of 1t ultimately into the Federal
reserve. The gold was shipped to
Sweden, France and other Continental
countries anu InenCe tne same SOlO re-
stamped. or equivalent amounts Of other
gold were sent to the United States"
At the most recent date the gold re-
serves OF the United States amounted to
S3,170. .000, 1000, those of Great Britain
$765,S75. 900. of France $500, 500. 900 and
OF Japan $608. 10000. The United States.
the board stated, which had about one
fifth Of the reported gold reserves in
1913, had over third at the end Of
the war and two-fifths on the most re-
cent date.
Other countries which show larger
proportions of the total now than be-
fore the war. the board continued. are
Great Britain (5 per cent. in 1918 and
9.S per cent. in 1929. Netherlands, Spain.
Australia and Japan. whose reserves
increased tenfold. or from less than
per cent. in 1918 to over s per cent
in 1922.
THE movement of gold to the United
States from existing stocks" the board
declared. has apparently run its
course. and at the present time this
country receives no more than the
equivalent of new gold produced.
though most Of the gold received from
France and Sweden from January to
April. amounting to s41.10o.000, is PEE
sumably of Russian origin"

Raw SIX Price. Hold.

( Prices in the local raw silk market
yesterday were unchanged from Satur-
day and trading continued light. The
Yokohama market was more active and
quotations ruled firm. Manufacturers
are inquiring more freely. although buy
ing is still largely confined to immediate
requirements. In the opinion of a prom
inent raw silk factor the market never
was in as strong a position as 1t Is at
present. He based his belief on the fact
that practically no old season silk or
cocoons will be carried over into the new
season, whereas at the opening Of the
new season last year there was a sur
plus of about 100000 bales of old silk
and cocoons The relatively low prices

For 6S-72s sellers continued to demand
.sls cents. In sheetings. although 6.l5s
were generally held at cents. several
instances of sales at SIS cents were
heard of. Sateens. twills and other
lining fabrics were firm but quieter.

shoe manufacturing trade has been
notable in the last few weeks. Demand
from retailers has increased steadily
and generally business has expanded
encouragingly. Merchants have not dis
carded their conservative buying policy.
but their purchases are being made more
frequently. Patent leather one strap

with a steady demand. Barefoot san
