INTEREST CENTERS IN FRANC RECOVERY Gains 40 Per Cent As Result Of
 Loan Announcement

NEW YORK, March 15-Chief finan- cial interest this week centered in the remarkable recovery of the French franc which followed the granting of a. credit of not less than $100, ,000, 900 to the Bank of France by American bankers. After establishing a low of 3.42cents last Sat- urday, the demand rates for the franc climbed steadily to above A cents, a net gain for the week of more than 1Ae or approximately 40 per cent. Short interest, who were trapped by the un. expectedIy large loan, furnished most of the buying power although consid- ed to the French government which was determined to support it's currency against the so-caIled foreign offensive. 1"
 Stock prices moved irreglarly higher but most of the buying power came from short interest, who were frighten- ed into covering by the French loan inauKuation of dividends on Southern Railway common and a feWNother fav- orable trade developments. The restrict ed nature of the trading indicated a spirit of caution on the part of specula- tive Interests. Bond. prices failed to develop 6 definite trend although the French issues moved higher as the franc improved.
 call funds ruling at four per cent and "outside loans" being reported at be low that figure. Bankers reduced their offering price on time funds to 4%c with brokers bidding 4hc, some thirty day loans being arranged at the lower figure. Longer lnaturtties were on a AZ per cent basis, which was also the ruling ratet for prime commercial paper.

ALL GRAINS GIVEN.
 JOLT DURING WEEK
Suffer Setback On Disclosure
 Of Wheat Supplies

CHICAGO. March 15.-Disclosure that there is virtually as much wheat in the United States at present as a year back has given a hard jolt this week to the value of all grain. Com pared with a week ago, wheat this morning was 4;sc to 5%c less, with corn Mc to 2asc down; oats, &c to 1ss@ O 1%c off, and provisions showing 12c to 27@30c decline.
 Quickly successive government reports on farm stocks of wheat and on coun- try mill and elevator stocks revealed that, exclusive of 16,000,000 bushels of Canadian wheat in bond in the United States, the domestic supply on March 1 was but 100000 bushels less than was the case year ago. Furthermore, the trade was face to face with evidence that no ready export outlet was in sight, whereas last year from Janu- ary to July the United States exported wheat and flour amounting to 67,000,- 900 bushels.
 Abrupt abandonment of ideas Of a wheat shortage east of the Rockies took place, and big liquidating sales on the part of holders ensued. Result ing sharp breaks in price, affected also by developments about far mlegtsla- tion at Washington, carried the mar ket down to the lowest level reached since August last. At this juncture, however, enlarged European buying of Canadian wheat helped somewhat to steady wheat prices, but only after sacrifices of owners of corn had at least temporarily been more or less dis turhed.
 Despite dwindiing receipts of corn, the corn market, and oats as well. were forced downward in sympathy with wheat. Besides, curtailment of corn demand from shippers here and from industries attracted notice.
 Accumulating stocks were a weight on the provision market,

BUTTER IS STEADY
 AT CLOSE OF WEEK
Speculative Demand Light With
 Supplies Liberal

CHICAGO, March 15.-The butter market for the week closed steady. largely as . result of firmer feeling according to the weekly review of the Federal Bureau of Agricultural Eco noraics, made public today. Speculative demand was almost entirely lacking and consumptiye buying of . hand-to- mouth nature, with supplies of top scores liberal, but interest chiefly con- fined to the medium grades.
 Receipts at the four markets, Chica- go, Philadelphia, New York and Bos- ton, were 1875 tubs lighter for the first three days of the week than for the same period in the preceding week. Production, however, was uncertain.
 Imports for the week were light, al- though larger than were expected, and had slight weakening effect on the New York market.

LIVERPOOL HAS
 VERY POOR YEAR.
Sending Of Cargoes In Foreign Ships Is Deplored By Britishers

LIVERPOOL, March 15.-From the point of view of shipping, 1923 was about the worst year Liverpool can re member; there are, however, signs of improvement, for since January 1 there has been a greater demand for ton mage in many directions. This was . statement in an address made recently by Sir R. Burton Chadwick, president of the Liverpool Shipping Staffs asso- ciation.S
 Continuing his remarks the speaker said shipowners should endeayor to cheapen operating costs and increase ef- Lficiency rather than expect high freight and passenger rates. One of the great est hindrances of the shipowner today was the extraordinary delay in turning his ship, combined with the high port charges. Both those factors were not the result of high wages, but of poor work for that wage. e
 The question of carrying British car goes in foreign ships was dealt with on the same occasion by J. H. Shamrock, a former director of one of the big steamship lines. He .deplored the fact that some British shippers were send ing cargoes in foreign ships and pay ing their freights to foreign shipown- CTS, while many British seamen were walking the streets.
 The Liverpool Underwriters associa- tion also met in conference a few days ago, and the president, Samuel Barker, made a pessimistic report. The only cheerful feature in the cargo business. he said, was that there had been con siderable reduction in the amount of loss suffered through theft and pilfer- age. It was as yet impossible to form an accurate estimate of losses to marine underwriters through the Japanese earthauake.
