MARKET FLASHES

NEW. YORK, April 1.-While accu-
rate figures are not obtainable, It was
said today that the short interest in
the market is as large as 1t was last
October when it was estimated at two
million shares. Several firms, which
made a practice of lending stocks to
bear traders In order to permit them
to make deliveries as stipulated by the
exchange, report that they are actually
loaning more stocks than they did when
the 1928 decline came to an end. Brok-
ers' loans are now estimated at 81 $780,
600, 900, q reduction of $50,000,0OO from
the high point reached last January.
NEW YORK, April 1.-Eugene G..
Grace, president of the Bethlehem
Steel Corporation, said after the annual
meeting of stockholders today, pro-
duction and shipments in March were
the largest in any month since the
middle of 1923. Incoming orders, he
added, were at least equal to produc-
ton. 80

ment, however, took nearly so per cent

The anti-Japanese legislation made it
harder and harder for Shima to cult
vate the land, and when the ruling
came that no Japanese could buy land
or be given a share in the proceeds of
the crops, he collapsed, stricken by
paralysis.
Having had so much to do with the
Japanese in the development of this
agricultural empire in California, Mr..
Phillips shakes his head over the out
look for California agriculturally. He
declares that while Americans can sup
ply the courage and capital and the
ingenuity and the machinery to raise
vegetables and other crops, American
born workers will not do the hard
ceaseless work the Japanese have done
so efficiently and so economically
Prices, he declares, must go up dras-
tically, as the Japanese are flocking

SHORTS TRAPPED
BY JUMP IN FRANC
Rate Forced Up 80 Points To
New 1924 High

NEW YORK. April Flushing to
buy French francs for settlement of
short contracts executed in March,
spectators trapped by the currency's
sensational recovery today forced the
rate up 30 points to a new 1924 high
at $50 cents. Having delayed covering
their requirements on the upward
swing, which followed establishment of
an extreme low of 3.45 cents March s,
short interests today were forced into
the market to avoid the heavy penalties
attached to deferred payments.
The sharp advance in francs took
place in one of the most active foreign
exchange markets of the year, in which
Belgium, Italian and Scandinavian cur
rencies attained new high levels for
1924.
Reports that Belgium shortly would
obtain a credit similar to the 800, O0O,-
900 loan to France to combat bear raids
on Its currency, caused a violent up
turn in the Belgian franc, which scared
more than 70 points and crossed 5
cents for the first time this year. Late
In the day it sold around $40 cents,
Flotation of a $30,00O,00O loan for
Switzerland and reports of a new com
modify loan for Denmark brought
sharp upward movements in the cur
rencies OF these countries. The Swiss
franc, at 1857 cents, sold at a new 1924
nigh, and Danish exchange rose SO
points to 1858 cents. The Swedish rate,
advancing two points to 26.47, was the
highest of the year, and the Norwegian
kronen mounted 25 points to 1882.
