WEEK OF CONTRAST
IN FINANCE WORLD
Prices Fall In Face of Facts
That Should Bolster
Them Anew.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, April 3.-This has
been q week Of contrasts in the nnan-
cial and securities markets. STOCK
prices crashed to new low levels for
the year almost coincident with re-
ports of record-breaking frSt-quarter
earnings by several large' industriai
companies. The decline, which was
continuation of the sharp read1ust'
ment in quoted values necessitated by
the greatly ver-extended speculation
for the rise last Fall and Winter, was
followed by a brisk rally, which ap-
peared to be holding as the week
closed.
French francs sank to the lowest
level ever recorded on the eve OF the
French Chamber of Deputies adoption
of tax bill, practically bringing TO
an end q two-year struggle over the
finances of the country which mas
brought about several changes OF
government. Belgian francs also
touched n new bottom.
Wheat futures dropped to q cents
bushel, the May option closing at
1861, despite the fact that the be-
ginning OF the harvest season this
Fall probably will see the smallest
domestic carry-over in years. Al
though cotton exports have shown a
marked falling off and the domestic
textile situation is still clouded with
uncertainty, cotton futures recorded
slight gains. The main tendency of
commodity prices has been downward
for about three months, according to
several of the popular indices. the
present general level being about the
lowest since October. 1924.
Despite occasional criticisms Of too

BANKERS SOLICITATIONS

Bankers are urged to adopt some OF
the methods of life insurance com
pan!es, in an article appearing IN the
Bankers Magazine. in which 1t Is sug-
gested that bank officials might well
spend an hour or two a day IN OUTSIDE
work soliciting new accounts.
The life insurance considers every
man, woman and child prospect
for some kind of insurance. And he
goes out 10 work his field sys'
tematically and scientifically. In a few
INSTANCES similar methods have been
tried by banks in other places in the
country, and the personal solicitations
have proved beneficial.
Many life insurance agents nave pe'
come so enthusiastic in their work
that they actually feel they are doing
a great human service when they go
out and persuade men 10 take out
policies. The writer suggests tnat
bankers might get themselves into the
ga me mental attitude in Offering their
various financial services TO the public
through personal solicitation.

would amount to 162,000,000 bushels
as against 100000 bushels har-

urging cooperation on the part of
these institutions and asking that ef-
forts be made to arouse the active
support of all citizens of Washington
in the plan.
The bankers committee consists of
Charles j. Bell president of the
American Security and Trust Co.;
John Poole, president of the Federal
American National Bank; Robert v.
Fleming, president of the Riggs Ma.
tional Bank; Eugene E. Thompson of

After a national park has been es-
tabished, the Government will de-
Velop and maintain it. But the Gov
ernment does not buy the land, and
this is why outside funds are neces-
sary. The new park is only 80 miles
from Washington and great interest Is
being taken in 1t here. 1t Is felt that
a beautiful national park will be Of
great benefit to Washington and this
fact accounts for the bankers cam
paign to provide the means with
which to make the long-talked.of
project an established fact.
Trading on the Washington Stock
Exchange during the first three
months of the year has shown about
the same volume as during the same
period a year ago.
The new issues investigated by the
governing board and listed on the
Exchange have proved very popular
In most instances. Among the issues
that have not been on the board very
long are Potomac Electric Power pre-
ferred and Potomac Electric Power
interim certificates
Two other new stocks that have
aroused wide interest in the first
quarter of the year are Federal Stor.

Transfer and Storage preferred. Both
have attracted a wide following for
such new issues.
With the exception of the new Mer-
genthaler Linotype stock. which was
listed yesterday, the newest issue on
the local board is Peoples Drug Stores,

stock on the Washington Exchange
