American export trade is through
comparisons Of the present with the
pre-war period rather than through
comparisons with last year. From
1915 to 1921 buying throughout the
world was on an inflated basis.
The United States leads all other
nations in the value of export trade
compared with pre-war standards
Secretary Hoover shows in a recent
analysis. No other nation IS enjoying
trade which shows a percentage of
increase over 1913 equal to the
United States.

Third Shipment OF
British Gold Here
For Debt Interest
Another Reported on the
Way; Movement of Metal
Is Not Expected to
Reach a Targe Total

Arrival on the Olympic yesterday. OF
third shipment Of approximately $2r
100000 British Treasury gold con-
signed to j. p. Morgan Co brought
the total receipts for this account up
to s7,500000 within less than week.
A fourth shipment Of like amount is
reported en- route on the Adrlatic,
which sailed from tho other side last
Saturday, but the Morgan firm Is with
out specific advices that this Is part
of the same movement
of the purpose of the shipments APP
pearcd in cabed advices that Sir
Robert Horne, Chancellor of the Elk
chequer, had announced in Parliament
that the government had withdrawn
81 100000 in connection with the pay
ment of interest on the British debt
to the United States Treasury. This
statement confirms the impression pre-
viously obtaining here, but dis
crepancy is noted in the amount men
toned as more than that has already
arrived here.
British balances in this country are
OF substantial amount and bankers
doubt that the movement Of gold to
meet the 1925, 100000 interest due next
October will reach q large aggregate.
No estimate of the extent to which
gold will be required in the operation
is possible however, as the exact con-
dition of the British balances is a
closely guarded secret.
Suggestions from London that nego-
tiations are under way for the hota-
ton jointly in the British and Ameri-
can markets Of a loan to enable the
British government to pay in q lump
sum its indebtedness to the United
States, exceeding $4,000, 100000, were
houted here. Neither market is in
position to support such an operation,
bankers said. Talk Of such a project
was characterized as idle speculation,
and it was emphatically denied that
any conversations had been opened on
the matter.
The proposals advanced by the
British press that the British govern
ment accept German reparation bonds,
Series B and G, In settlement Of the
debt due it from the Allies were re-
garded as tantamount to proposals Of
cancellation. The &c" bonds are non
interest bearing promises to pay and
without specified maturity, SO that
they arc looked upon as virtually
without value.
