Moody'> Weekly Review.

Noody's Weekly Review of Finan-
cial Conditions in its current issues
says. in part
Automatically the way is being
paved for d large volume of foreign
financing. Investors are making
profits in foreign securities. and az
soon as the reparation agreement is
reached the American public may be
found ready to export capital.
Trade expansion inVaria bly, abSOrhS
capital, but resumption of prosperity
increases profits. promotes freer lend
ing. accelcrates collections and there
by tends to drive interest rates lower.
1T is plainly implied that unless
business expands with abnormal
swiftneSs money rates will go lower
next year than they have this year.
The only other alternative seems t.
be that something might happen to
disturb confidence.
We are now experiencing the
financial results of a vast accumula-
/ tion of liquid capital, such as usually
takes place after a great war. Con
trary to a prevailing notion. great
wars increase supplies of capital in
the long run more than augment the
demand for il.
american investors have lately
shown a large new buying power for
securities and this raises the question
whether corporation bonds will make
their high peak now or next Spring.
But this question is not very i'm
portant. Taking profits in bonds is
mostly mpracticable because of the
difficulty of reinveSting. While await
ing better opportunities for reinVeSt-
ment it can do no harm to he rather
deliberate in taking profits.

BANKS REDUCE FORCES.

BERLIN, August 17-There are
more bank clerks without jobs in

mates of the German Bank Workers
Union. which places the number ap-
proximately at 100000. one banking

Most of these clerical assistants
have lost their jobs since the renten

greatly augment their staffs to keep

Special Dispatch TO The Star
NEW YORK, August 23.-The
check noticeable in the market of the
two previous days was apparent
again TODAY. There We're. however,
enough strong points among indlvld-
ual stocks to keep the list compara-
tiyely steady. Losses of a half point
10 point occurred during the frst
hour. Steel common got below loS,
and Chandler Motors under A was
off over 4 points from Fridays high.
American Can. Baldwin Locomotive,
General Electric and other leaders
all bore their share in the reaction.
The st. Paul stocks turned the mar
ket for a time in the first half of the
second hour. \ story current for
some time that the Van Sweringens
were buying into St. Paul securities
was made good deal of in highly
speculative quarters, although it was
gossip pure and simple.
The fact that Il large short interest
had accumulated in the St. Paul issues
was the point of most Importance.
Once covering started the preferred
was carried above -. where it was
up points from Fridays low and
the common above l6 where it was up
points.
Nash Motors Gossip.
The recent extra ordinary rise IN
Nash Motors has suggested to some
observers the possibility of a stock
dividend, or at least of d capital split
up. As a matter of fact, however, Suf-
ficient explanation would be that
what has been taking place IS d re-
adjustment of the market price in aC-
cordance with the belief that Nash
can now be looked upon as a $40
stock. 1t pays a regular semi annual
dividend at the rate of 81, but in
February and again this month it dis
tributed an extra, or $50. Earnings
for the first half year were at the
rate of nearly sl9 for the full II
months.
Brokers' Advise Caution.
A leading Broadway house makes
the point that efforts to rally the
market on American Can and Baldwin
Locomotive had evoked little response
and that the indications were that the
technical condition had been impaired
by the sharp advances recently and a
corrective reaction was probable. 1t
also alludeS to the heavy selling,
principally by banks of long-term
investments. These are merely
pointers" the same authority goes on
to say. Not to he regarded as con-
elusive" The conclusion is that "a
cautionary attitude is warranted in
making stock market commitments
for the next few days"

SELLING CONTINUES
IN LIBERTY BONDS
Chief Incident in Today's
Brief Session-French
Group Also Weak.
BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.
Special Dispa tCh to The Star.

optclai liSIatrn Inc star.
NEW YORK, August 23.-Continued
decline in Liberty bonds was again
the chief incident in the bond mark ct
today. There was particularly heavy
selling in the first 4As and in the
fourth 4As, and this selling carried
prices to the lowest of the week. 1t
was once more traceable to banking
sources. United States Treasury 4As
were comparatively steady.
French IS. in the foreign section,
rallied a bit at the start, but fell back
again later. The same was true of
the French 712s. Realizing sales were
felt in the Jugoslav SIS, which, after
touching 80, dropped off a fraction.
st. Paul Issues Leaders.
st. Paul bonds were again actively
dealt in, more so than any other
railway issue. Short covering at the
week end in their case was respon-
sible for the improved tone There
were no developments regarding the
st. Paul financial outlook which
could have accounted for any
change in sentiment. Rumors which
have been in circulation for some
time of new interests buying into the
property were not taken seriously.
The real feature of the week in the
bond market has been the selling
or L1DertyS with the consequent de-
cline in price. Part of this selling
came from the banks and part of it
came from traders, both proceeding
of the theory that higher money was
in sight. Both of these authorities
have been wrong on similar occa-
SionS in the recent past. They may
be right now. but il is not at all
certain.
Consider Yield Too Low.
However that may be. the indi-
vidual investor is practically out Of
the market for government securi-
ties. For that matter, he is no longer
interested in the high-grade rails and
industrials simply because the yield
is so low as no longer to be attrac
tive.

side market was the trading activity
in Kansas City Railway securities.

I made recently to the large tomato

These inquiries reveal that. while
larger acreage of tomatoes was
planted this year, adverse weather
conditions have reduced the acreage
