BETTER TONE SHOWN
ON CURB EXCHANGE
By HI. j. DUISEN,
Cosmopolitan News Servic.

NEW YORK, July 18.-Stocks on
the Curb Exchange today showed
much improved tone, but trans
actions were still in small volume.
Signs Of reviVing interest were not
wanting, many stocks emerging from
the narrow trading area, in which
they were kept during the last two
weeks. Operations, however, were
entirely professional, the public ap-
pareutly continuing its policy Of
aloofness.
Improvements in the oil section
were general, especially in the
Standard Oil group. Indiana was
most prominent and on steady buy
ing advanced more than a point.
Vacuum Oil was also eagerly sought.
International Petroleum, Kentucky
and Imperial Oil of Canada were in
fair demand and from a fraction to
| point higher.
Southern States Oil and Mara
caibo Oil were strong features in
the independent group, rising a
| point or more. Fluctuations in other
oil shares were confined to fractions.
Activity increased somewhat in
the industrial section, but the
amount of issues dealt in was
limited; Motor and tire stocks
| showed firmnees.
| Gillette Safety Razor was well
bought at advancing prices. Read
ing Coal rights moved slightly lower,
| selling at II. The stock of the
Reading Coal Company was quoted
at SO.
Mining shares were dull and
steady.
Bonds were steady.

RULES
System Regulates Member
Banks in Conformity With
Legal Changes.

The Federal Reserve Board today
issued revised regulations to govern
member banks of the Federal Re
serve System in conformity. with
changes made by Congress in the
banking laws. Most important was
the regulations dealing with banks
entering the Federal Reserve Sys'
tenn by virtue of the terms OF the
new agricultural credit law.
The board said that new banks
coming into the Federal Reserve
System, under the rural credit law,
with a capital of 60 per cent OF the
sum a national bank must have, will
be required to increase capitalization
to 100 per cent within q period OF
five years.
The par clearance regulation, ef-
fective August Is. prohibits mem
Der banks from receiving for col
Iections any checks drawn on non
member bank which refuses to re-
nit at par. The board directed that
when a nonmember bank presents
to a member bank such paper the
member bank shall charge one-tenth
of 1 per cent for the service of col
lecting, the minimum charge to be
10 cents

Inc, and distributed by Cosmo-
politan News Service.)
NEW YORK, July 1S.-American
bankers and business men may play
part in the determination of Ger.
many's capacity to pay.
The international chamber of
commerce, which was initiated in
Atlantic City in 1919, has been for
months preparing to be of service
to the European powers in solving
the economic riddle of postwar
finance.
Willie H. Booth. president of the
Guaranty Trust Company of New
York, who is now in Europe, is
president of the International Cham.
Der. which some months ago ap-
pointed a committee of specialists
to study German financial condi-
tons. Fred !. Kent. vice president
of the Bankers Trust Company, Of
New York, who is still overseas, has
been directing investigations into
Germany's real reparations paying
capacity.
British Favor Hughes Idea.
Secretary Hughes in an address
suggested the appointment of an
international committee of experts
to get the question of PREPARATIONS
down to a practical dollar and
cents basis. Apparently, the Brit
ish are eager to carry out this idea,
but Raymond Poincare, premier of
France, in his last speech reiterated
tn "A Nh
reaffirmed his belief that the pres
ents reparations commission, on
which the allies alone are repre-
scented, should remain in control.
The international diplomatic game
in Europe this week is being played
in accordance with the expectations
of the insiders.
AS long ago as May 10, it was
pointed out in this column that
according to the gossip of we'll
informed travellers from abroad, it
was fairly generally understood
that Germany's latest offer (the
first of the last series Of two, the
second of which will be answered
by Great Britain today or tomor-
row. would be unacceptable not
only to France, but also to Belgium,
and even England.
British Delay Protest.
The expectation of returning OBJ
servers, moreover, is that Frances
formal reply to Germany. will prove
unsatisfactory to England, which
may be the next country to take
the initiative. Before acting Eng.
land will probably wait until the
coal in the pits in the Ruhr valley
is exhausted, and then. assuming
France will be unable to make eco
nomic headway in that district, will
suggest a means Of settlement. pos
sibly advising non-political arbitra.
ton.
Great Britain is thus seen to fol-
low a program conceived months
ago.
If the powers should call upon
the International Chamber. 1t would
no doubt be prepared to take out
of it's pigeonholes a carefully
worked out reparations plan, prob
ably fixing the sum Of payments
expected Of Germany at between
80 900 900 900 and $4,000, 900, 900 gold
marks. Although the Americans
are a powerful group in the Inter.
national Chamber. which is a vol.
untary organization Independent OF
governments, all the other leading
nations also are represented in the
body.
