 Holles was about to speak, when Tucker threw up hand to arrest him.

 Going home toward dusk the thing that most intrigued the Colonel was the dangerous frankness that Tucker had used with him, trusting man in his desperate case with a secret so weightN upon no more than his pledged word and what Tucker re- membered of him in the creditable state from which he had long since fallen.

EXPORTS FROM
6. EXCEED
IMPORTS
Increase Of Foreign Securities
FIoated Here Shown by
Trade Balance

Exports of merchandise in the
first six months Of 1924 exceeded
imports by $237 ,000,0 900, whereas in
the corresponding period of 1923
imports exceeded exports by
$142, 900, 900. This change was
necessarily accompanied by CORE
spondingly great changes in the
value Of the services and credits
which make up what is known as
the invisible" trade between ma
tons, and which, in connection with
transactions Of merchandise and
precious metals, must make the
total foreign trade Of any nation
show an equal balance between
credits and debts at the end of the
accounting period, according to
Rufus s. Tucker. acting chief Of
the Finance Division of the De-
partment Of Commerce.
1.-THE chief change in invisible
Items" Mr.. Tucker States, was in
the amount of foreign securities
floated in the United States, which
increased greatly. Another i'm.
portant change was in the amount
OF United States currency exported
and Of american investments pur.
chased by foreigners, both Of which
declined
The excess Of exports Of merchan-
disc and silver, amounting alto.
gether to 1854, 0O0, 900, is nearly neu-
tralized by the 1922, O00, 900 excess of
gold imports. The net positive ball
apce Of $32 100000 on account Of
merchandise and bullion, contrasts
with negative balance Of $3.50. 00O,.
600 for the same items in the first
half OF 1928. What invisible items
have changed enough to explain
this $228. 900. 900 difference?
Under the head Of services there
has probably been little net change.
The net earnings of our merchant
marine in the foreign carrying trade
are probably somewhat larger than
last year, as our exports have in
creased. and the proportion carried
IN American vessels has also in
creased slightly. The number Of
non-immigrant aliens admitted dur.
ing the first five months OF the
year, as reported by the Bureau
OF Immigration, was greater than
IN 1928. Presumably, therefore, the
amount OF money spent by foreign
tourists In this country was
greater. 1t is not yet possible to
make statement concerning the
amount Of immigrants remittances
and charitable contributions for
1924. There is no reason to be.
heve that 1t differed much from
1923.

STEEL AND RAIL
SHARES SHOW
STRENGTH
Copper and Equipment Also
Strong, But Petroleum
Shares Are Weak

NEW YORK. Aug. 1.-THE stock
market had number Of conflicting
factors to contend with in the early
trading today. The passing of divi-
dends on two important Standard
OIL stocks, together with the reports
OF further declines in crude oil
prices, emphasized the fact that the
petroleum industry has not yet
reached plain sailing; while the
favorable report Of forward orders
by the Steel Corporation, the ex-
eremely optimistic outlook reported
for the great middle western Sec
lions OF the country and the brisk
advance Of sterling to 1865 and
OF francs to .0570h, indicated an
economic adjustment Of two CONT
nents.
High.priced railroad shares and
steel stocks featured the market on
the constructive side in this period.
Coppers and equipments gave an.
other exhibition of strength; only
the oil stocks were conspicuously
weak, with losses extending from a
fraction to TX points, the latter
sustained by Atlantic Refining
Company. But here constructive
factors were soon in control and
prices of Independent oil stocks
made slight Improvement over those
Of the first period.
The best buying returned to the
dividend rails, particularly those Of
the coal-carrying roads. Delaware
and Lackawanna moved up in brisk
market to- a new high at 142; New
Jersey Central sold at 242, up Az
points to new high; Delaware and
Hudson added 8 points and topped
all previous 1924 records at 1871;
Union Pacific was in new high
ground at 144A, up III; Atlantic
Coast Line exceeded it's best pre-.
vious price for this year; New York
Central climbed to above los, and
Norfolk and Western to above 1928
Merger stocks were comparatively
inactive, but prices were inclined
slightly higher.
The best news from the steel
trade today was that important in
dependent steel mills in Pennsyl-
vania and Ohio were increasing
their operations. Mahoning Valley
iron and steel schedules call for
Seventy-two mills this week, against
sixty-eight last week: Republic
Iron and Steel Company opened up
another pipe mill; Carnegie was re-
ported operating at so per cent for
steel and 80 per cent for bar mills,
while the Youngstown Sheet and
Tube Company is preparing to re-
open parts of it's Briar Hill works,
inactive for two months. One of
the largest pig-iron producers in
the Chicago district advanced
prices so cents a ton.
U. S. Steel sold in volume above
108 today, against Saturdays close
at 10715, and good buying in Beth
lehem and Gulf States was reflected
in gains of more than point in
each. High-priced industrials came
to the front in the second hour,
with National Lead again promi-
nent, and St. Paul, preferred, up
about points, to 26A. led the
low-priced rails.

Chicago Livestock
BY International News Service.

CHICAGO. Aug. 11.-A supply Of
$4,000 hogs plus a hold-over of
1000 from last week proved too
much for the current demand today
and buyers were able to get conces-
sions of 10 to Is cents without much
difficulty. The best hogs, both in
the heavy and light classes, sold at
$10.15 in the early session, which
was rs cents lower than the top a
week ago.
Liberal receipts Of cattle resulted
in a break Of Is to 25 cents in the
general trade and business was dull
and slow. Cows and heifers de.
clined 10 to Is cents and bulls were
in a slumpy condition. Calves were
quoted weaker and feeders steady.
Good lambs sold steady to strong
and the handy weight ewes were
fully steady.

FRENCH BONDS

Reflects Recent Progress To-
ward Economic Regen-
GRAFTON of Europe
BY MUNROE ROBERTS,
International News Service Staff
Correspondence.

NEW YORK, Aug. 1.-THE most
striking reflection of the recent
progress made toward the economic
regeneration ofcEurope, particularly
France, is seen in the listed market
Tor foreign government bonds, lead
ing foreign issues are up Is points
from the low Of the year, and more
than 20 points from the record low
levels recorded when the French
invaded the Ruhr.
Though the French government
Ss and 7ss traded in in American
markets are expressed in dollars
and not In francs, and therefore the
drop in French exchange does not
affect them specifically, the decline
in the franc to 3.42 earlier in the
year drove home to French people
that their credit abroad was being
unfavorably affected, and urgent
steps were taken to protect the
franc from extinction in interna-
ttonal markets. The strenuous tax
alton and economy policy irnme.
diately put into effect, with the
aid of Morgan and other American
bankers, STAYED off disaster to the
franc abroad and insured the bal
ancing of the budget at home.
Economic conditions righted them
selves, francs started their forward
movement and French government
bonds exhibited little more sta
bility in investment markets.
1t required the stimulus Of prac.
teal agreement on the Dawes plan,
however, to spur the French gov
eminent obligations to greatest eff
fort, and their advance in the last
two weeks has been little short Of
spectacular. The following com.
parsons Of high and low prices Of
representative French bonds may
be taken as symbolic Of investors
returning confidence in the eco

YEAR-END TRADE
SLACK OVER,
SAYS DUN'S
Moderate Easing Of Prices"
Is Noted by Review Of
Markets.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.


NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Dun's
Weekly Review of business said to-
day:
with January about half over,
no unusual or unexpected trend has
appeared in business. Revival from
the year-end let down has come In
most industries, and the principal
steel producer is operating at bet
ter than an 80 per cent rate. Cotton
goods manufacture is still restricted.
"A moderate easing Of prices has
occurred in certain markets and the
movement of wholesale quotati tons,
If chiefly in an upward direction,
does not show the large excess OF
advances that was seen year ago.
THE situation, then, in not a
few instances, disclosed active for.
ward purchasing. whereas the policy
now is mainly one of limiting COM
mitments to immediate or nearby
needs. This phase is present even
in the steel industry, but the num-
Der of orders placed in that quarter,
as in some other trades, indicates
that stocks are low.
1.-THE absence of burdensone sup
piles, except in a comparatively few
days, is one of the strong points,
while the heavy volume OF building
construction in progress or being
planned promises continued ef1l-
ployment for many thousands Of
workers, and a sustained consuming
power. Despite existing irregtilari-
ties, with contradictory tendencies
in different lines, general business
is still large and confidence II the
prevailing sentiment

TRADING ON CURB QUIET
BUT UNDERGONE IS FIRM

NEW YORK, Jan. 12.-Tfading on
the curb exchange was 1,6iet today
but the undertone was firm, especi-
ally in the oil section. Widespread
advances in gasoline JFices brought
some additional buying in this group
that was chiefly Concentrated In
Standard Oil Of Indiana in response
to the announcement Of q 2-cent
gasoline price increase throughout
its territory. The majority Of Pc.
tDleum stocks, both STANDARD and
Independent, moved to hlieher levels,
although movements were nor wide.
Speculative interest was at Inv
ebb in the industrial group. A little
buying was noted in some Of the
recent favorites, but the main body
of shares appeared to be neglected.
