For a while the traffic was undis-
turbed, then d'Annunzio broke loose
In the Fiume, and Trieste lay under
threat of being in the war zone. Not
that continued. So the port Of entry
for the Austrian food was changed
to Rotterdam. This caused new prob

come by the Rhine, by rail, through
troubled Germany, TO Hamburg,
thence by barges down the Danube.

to dock handlers strikes, as the only

A system Of food cards was provid-
ed for the undernourished youngsters
Of Austria and Stockton says that the
saddest sight Of his life was to see
some little one deprived of his food
card after having been pronounced
safely past malnutrition. Vienna was
dotted with 43 American kitchens, the
largest providing meals for $4,000
children. All this work was done un-
der supervision Of four Americans,
one of whom was the youth from
Jacksonville. A total of 1900 Aus
TRANS were employed the most of
them volunteer workers.
Stockton is the scion of a famous
family of Southern fighters and states
men. He was a Rhodes scholarship
man from Florida, and took his de-
gree of law at Oxford. During the
World war he attained the grade of
senior lieutenant, q. S. N. He returned
to Jacksonville in October, 1920, fol-
lowing his service in Austria, and has
been identified with a real estate firm
since that time. He has taken an ac-
tive part in Legion affairs, both local
and department.

The daily task of feeding 10000

gion in Jacksonville, Fla.
Stockton, who was an attache of
the American diplomatic mission in
London at the outbreak of the war,
resigned his post to enter the naval
service, and was made an aide of Ad-
m1ral Sims, serving In this capacity
until April, 1919. Then the young
Floridan was placed on an inactive
status, and went to Vienna with the
American relief administration. This
was not his first experience in relief
work, as he had volunteered for serv-
Ice with Herbert Hoover during the
period of Belgian relief.
When the plans for the feeding Of
the starving children in Austria ma
tured under Mr.. Hoover's direction,
Stockton was chosen for the post of
chief of the mission and went about
the great task with the enthusiasm
which has characterized American re-
lief workers.
He arrived in Vienna May 8, 1919,

the most unusual problems presented
themselves to Stockton for solution.
The mission had plenty of available

NOTED ENGINEER
 TO APPEAR HERE
Dr. Henry Payne To Address
 Kiwanians Tuesday

Industrial leaders. of the Birming- ham district are expected to be guests at the Kiwanis club luncheon Tuesday when Dr. Henry Payne, the celebrated engineer, delivers an address before that club. He is coming to Birming- ham as a guest of J. B. McClary, vet cran coal operator and industrial lead CT.
 Dr. Payne, who has served in some of the most interesting engineering feats of the last several years, is noted as an authority on industrial projects. He has studied the relationship of Bir- mingham with producing and consum- ing fields in other nations, and it is believed his message to the industrial captains of Birmingham will not only be interesting but profitable.
 In addition to addressing the Xii wanis club, Dr. Payne will be shown over the district by members of the American Institute of Mining, and will be. otherwise entertained during his stay in Birmingham.

Proceeds Of Sale To Be Partially Devoted To
 Additions
(By Associated Press.)

NEW YORK, Aug. 24.-Stiffening money rates combined with an outburst of profit taking contributed to reac- tion in bond prices last week. Led by liberty bonds, all groups participated in the downward movement which as- stunned larger proportions as the week progressed and gave indications of be- ing more than a temporary setback.
 General withdrawal of buying sup port followed a slight advance in time money quotations, which was con sidered significant because it marked the first turn in the easy money situa- tion which has prevailed since last spring. Liquidation of liberty bonds and other high grade investment secur- ities was traced to banks which were said to be finding better employment for their funds in the interior through a revival of trade and the larger crop movement.
 Speculation Chilled
 With apprehension over a further tightening of money rates in the fall was relieved partially by predictions that the German loans and other for eign financing would be floating at the peak of the market, speculative SeHIIueHC III DOHu IFaulHS pldlHly was chilled. This found more satisfactory outlet in the active stock market and led to heavier realizing sales of semi speculative bonds acquired on the sum- mer's upswing.
 Contrasted sharply with the preced- ing week, the volume of new financing declined approximately $100,000,000 to total of $45,000,000. The market was devoid of interesting offerings all though q satisfactory reception was

FILING NOW USED
 MORE GENERALLY

Mir. J. A. Tucker, in charge of the Birmingham Tile company, reports more general use of tiling Tn buildings, residential as wei as larger and ex- pensive structures. The Carmichael company has spent a busy summer, completing many contracts. Headquar- ters of the company are in Atlanta. The company has contracts all over the south and it is figuring on a large con- tract in New Jersey. This is only An- other illustration of the rapid expan- sion of the business of southern con- cerns.
 It has not been so very long ago that factories of the Grand Rapids district operated while southern factories closed shop during some of the summer months. It is known that there are factories in this south operating at a profit throughout this summer, while their northern competitors in many in stances closed shop. This is explained because the southern retailer is buying in greater volume from his home dis tricts, enabling southern companies to operate for longer periods. The same thing is true of other industries, the success of the Carmichael company being one of the many examples.
 The Carmichael company has just finished work on the big plant of the Standard Sanitary Manufacturing company, the remodeling of the Wool

MONEY RATES
 DUE TO STEPHEN
 AS FALL WEARS
Heavier Demand Soon To Be Made On Credit
 Facilities
By EDWARD J. CONIDLON (By Leased Wire To The Age-HeraId. ]

NEW YORK, Aug. Eve are now approaching the season of the year when heavier demands are made on credit facilities. The wind-up of August usually sees a stiffening of money rates as the autumn require ments of expanding business begin to be felt. At present borrowings are heavy, but with the principal increases made against stocks and bonds rather than in commercial loans.
 With grain ruling at substantially higher prices than a year ago, larger sums will be required to move the crops this year. In cotton, according to the bureau report issued Saturday, the crop will run close to 100000 bales ahead of last year. This will tend to promote the expansion of credit. High CT prices are the natural result of our holding half of the gold mined since King Solomon's time. Easier credits make for speculation and it requires an economists eye to determine when we have passed the shadow line which marks legitimate business growth and speculation.
 Outlook Brightens
 While it is true that the heavy pub lie participation in the stock market ever since the bull movement mani fested itself early in June, has been in- duced in no small measure by cheap money, the general advance in security prices has not been based on specula- tiop. The underlying causes embody trade revival and brighter outlook for world affairs. It would appear unlike ly that even the present advance in se- curity and commodity prices has dis counted in full the benefits expected from the operation of the Dawe's plan in Europe. It is believed American commerce and industry will profit greatly by the increased European pur- chasing power, as our cotton, copper, steel, oil, hides and leather, foodstuffs and other commodities are badly needed, especially in Central Europe.
 Prices May Drop
 The reactionary tone of the foreign exchange market, particularly sterling, since the conclusion of the London conference, is ascribed to foreign pur- chases here, notably purchases of cot ton. Foreign loans floated in the United States, will, of course, tend to lessen the demand for American dol lars by foreign nations financing pur- chases of raw materials here, inas- much as credits thus established may be drawn against without depreciating the home currencies. The German loan may be but the forerunner of world wide demands for capital, with Ger many as the greatest potential borrow CT. If free gold market is estab. lished, deflation of the foreign cur. rencies will be greatly facilitated. And if America reduces her gold holdings to something like normal, it is logical that prices in this country will drop

MARKET EFFECT
 OF CROP REPORT
 IS NOT YET FELT
Trading Dominated Past Week By Approach Of
 Government Figures

NEW ORLEANS, La, Aug. 24.- The cotton market during the past week has been dominated to a very large extent by the approach of the government midmonth condition report, finally issued after the closing of busi- ness Saturday. The private reports is sued in advance of the government dur ing the course of the week indicated yields in some cases considerably above 13,000, 900 bales and the average of the six reports issued was 12,033 900 bales, exclusive of linters, or just about the same as the governments indicated yield.
 The growing belief that the govern ment would indicate a crop of 13,OO0,- 900 caused the liquidation of the long interest and traders felt enough un- certainty as to what the bureau would show to induce evening up by shorts as well, At any rate prices gradually. declined until at the close on Saturday, or fifteen minutes before the government estimates were received. October stood at 24.65c or 147 points below the close of the proceeding Saturday.
 It is likely enough. that prices would have dropped lower chan they did were ir not for reports Df pressing de mand for spots in the interior, particu. larly in Texas, to fill August commit mentS. Spots were. reported to have sold at very high basis until near the close of the week, when the basis weakened, due, it was claimed, to the fact that buyers had about filled all their August requirements.
 Another sustaining influence was the tropical hurricaneswh has proceeded northward up the Atlantic with prom ise of causing heavy damage in the eastern belt. At tie close the hurri- cane was still well off the Florida coast near the Bahama Islands.
 The government condition report for August 16 issued after close Saturday showed a condition average of 64.9 and an indicated crop of 12.956,000 bales which about met the expectations of the trade. The belief was that the crop forecast was bearish, but the ac- tual effect on prices will not be known until the markets open tomorrow.

PARKER FLORISTS
 ADD GREENHOUSE
Producing Facilities Greatly In-

Another green house has been added to the Parker plant at Helena station, involving the expenditure of 6 very substantial sum. The renovations to the old green houses and the construction of five new houses, which has been underway for the past several months, gives the Parker operators an usually commanding place in flower growing in this section. It is understood that the owners plan to extend their houses until the local market is almost free of dependence upon imported flowers. The florists have contracted several other units to the plants, including propagat- ing houses, dirt houses, preliminary bins and designing rooms which are ex- pected to contribute very much to the efficiency of flower culture at Fair view.

reported for most of the small issues. Investment bankers explained that the lull in new financing was a natural sequel to the large amount of new bonds which the market was called upon to absorb in the previous week.
 Although trading on the stock ex- change provided few interesting fea- lures, considerable attention was de- voted to a broad movement in the St. Paul Railroad issues. Reports that the roads 1925 refunding program might be delayed caused a reaction, but the bonds later recovered following the announcement that directors would con- slider the matter this week and the circulation of rumors that the Van Sweringen interests were buying St. Paul stock.
 Foreign Bonds Recede
 Foreign obligations were strength ened early in the week by the suc- cessful conclusion of the London con- ference, but receded later in sympathy with the general price movement and the weakness of foreign exchanges. Ac- tivity of Serbian S's which crossed 90 to new high record for the year, was linked with reports that another loan might be floated.
 One of the few railroad bond issues in recent years to bear 415s per cent rate will be the offering tomorrow of $16,000,OOO Louisville and Nashville refunding mortgage bonds through a syndicate headed by J.
