of brokers' loans. These have increased
S7O6. O0O, 900 In the past 10 weeks. The
feeling is that should call money remain
for a week, say, at the legal rate, tend
ers would begin to withdraw funds and
place them in various long term COM
mitments, such as bonds and in the
normal channels of business. 1t is only
when there is a margin over per cent
in the call money market that the new
lenders begin to withdraw their funds
from banks and when foreign corpor-
atoms and institutions direct their sur
plus funds to New York.
The point is made that with business
now having had six months of intense
activity and only a moderate amount of
new financing In this period it will soon
be necessary to draw down funds out on
call and employ them in a way to pro-
duce facilities for the further period of
prosperity anticipated as a result of Mr..
Hoovers election. Obviously, when the
corporations and other outside lenders
draw their funds out of the market it
will be necessary for the banks to as
sumo large share of the lending than
they have been doing in recent months.
This, in itself, will tend to keep money
rates firm.
There are indications that the gold
import movement may reach larger pro-
portions than those anticipated some
weeks ago. The original maximum sug-
gested was $50,000,O00 Now estimates
of the possible gold import have been
raised to $75,000,000. For the first time
! in months the Bank of France yester-
day showed decrease in it's gold hold
ings. On the other hand the Bank of
England made slight gain in this item.

industry is suffering badly from excess
of mill capacity.
Electrical Equipment Sales.
Electrical equipment sales have been
high and this will be reflected in retail
dealings in the next six weeks. Despite
the huge sales of electric refrigerators.
the producers of manufactured and
natural ice in most districts are finding
a better market than ever before at
this season of the year.
The flour milling concerns are work
ing at a high rate of production and
profits so far during the present milling
season have been satisfactory, at least
for many of the corporations. The elec-
ton boosted radio sales and now the
foot ball games and the Christmas trade
are doing their bit toward making it a
record radio year.
The trade in industrial chemicals is
strong, rejecting the activity in the
industries which are the chemical
trades best customers.

Aid Sent Ship

BOSTON. Feg. 13.-tP-Hope for
three members Of the crew Of the
wrecked naval tug Mohave who fled
the craft in a punt after she piled
up on Harding Ledge last night was
diminished when the punt was found
today washed ashore off Black Rock.
Cohasset, nearly three miles from
the scene Of the wreck. The pun;
was right side up, but filled with
water.
Twenty-three other sailors, includ-
ing Chief Boatswain Mate Patrick
Fl. Powers, commander Of the tug,
were safe. Six were near exhaustion
after a long row to Nantasket in an
open dinghy that had only one pair
of oars. The men had been ordered
out in search Of the three who were
believed to have lost their lives, and
failing TO find them, struck out for
the shore.
The Mohaye's sos halted broad
casting and sent a flotilla steaming
TO her assistance. The destroyer
Maury found the tug listing badly
with a serious hole in her bow,
while the coastguard boat 2i2 was
successful in removing all of the
survivors from their water-filled
ship. Early reports had placed the
victims as high as six.
The missing men were W. J.. Enos.
G. II. T. Reid and T.. ID. Lilies. Naval
officers who spent a large part Of
the night and early morning sweep
ing the seas with powerful search
lights expressed little hope that any
Of them could be saved.

ENGLISH GALE
WRECKS Ships
Death Toll of Blow Is
Expected to Reach
so Or More

LONDON, Feb. 13.-tNA Grip
pied shipping limped into today,
as the toll Of a gale whie swept
western Europe and the noY At
lantic oyer the weekend was mt
ed. 1t was feared that the de- khs
might mount to fifty. The lossN
property was heavy. Y
Twenty-Five lives are known to
have been lost in Scandinavia and
nine in Great Britain. Accidents to
shipping were just becoming known.
although the gale spent itself early
Sunday.
After the dredge vessel Grinkel
sank in the Mersey river six of the
crew were missing and they were
listed among the casualties today.
Houses were blown down, roofs
carried away and a torrential rain
fall which accompanied the hurri-
cane caused fresh floods in the
British Isles. The wind blew at an
average of 20 miles an hour at Liv-
erpool with occasional gusts reach
ing 104 miles while on the opposite
side Of England at Tynemouth it
was only a gentle two-mile breeze.
Radio reports told Of a thrilling
struggle between the tanker Varand
and the sea on the ships maiden trip
from New Orleans to London. For
twelve days the Varand has been in
tow of the Dutch tug Zwarte See
because of serious damage to its
rudder post and propeller. The ship
had sprung a leak. Towing the
tanker through the heavy seas be-
came so difficult that another Dutch
tug, the Seine, went to the assist
ance. The hurricane completely dis
abled the Seine, carrying away the
compass, rails, ventilators and
wrecking the wireless apparatus.
The liner Muenchen left her course
to assist the crippled tug and two
other Dutch tugs, which had pre-
yiously zone to the assistance Of
the liner Burgerdijk also came to
the aid Of the Seine, which returned
TO Cobb under convoy. The Narand,
according to the latest advices, was
south OF Ireland and still in tow.
Along the Scandinavian coast ship
ping was demoralized and the sea
pounded with such force that mil
lions Of dead fish were washed
ashore. Scientists attributed the
death Of the fish TO sulphurated n.y.
drogen which come TO the surface
from the ocean bottom when dis
turbed by the force OF the gale. A
fish famine is threatened because
housewives refuse to buy the fish,
fearing they are poisoned.

Wood Speaks On
Transportation In
Europe AT School

A. Wayne Wood gave the third of
his series Of talks on "My impress
sions of Europe" for the students Of
the senior high school today. He
dwelt principally on the European
Of transportation and a fur
Their discussion of Germany, of which
he had spoken in his previous speech.
Having noticed that he saw few oxen
under yoke, and hundreds of COW
being used for hauling, he concluded
that they considered the COW the
more economical of the two, as a
COW can, during the anne day, work
and produce. Instead Of seeing ami
mails being used to pull carts, etc,
he was surprised to note that the
women were used in this capacity,
and the men walked along to hold the
truck on the cart or wagon. He
stated that this was refreshing to
the henpecked husbands of America.
Concerning the buildings Of Ger
many. he stated that there were few
If any, buildings over six stories
high. This, however excludes the
churches whose edifices are too tall
TO enable one TO take a large size
kodak picture Of them which will
include the entire structure. He
found it was necessary to take two
pictures. one of the lower half and
one Of the upper half.
Relating to the cities he made
special mention Of Berlin and Ores
den. He said of Berlin, Il found il
a big. lazy. clean, quiet, statuary, and
dignified city. 1t was quite the
most inactive Of all the cities
through which toured. In Dresden.
the home of Dresden china and por-
celain ware. we were amazed at the
beautiful remains Of the imperisl-
istic empire. 1t was a very besuti-
full city"
In conclusion, he told a few Of the
impressions he had of Czecho-Slo-
vakia. Among other things he said,
1T is quite as hard TO understand as
as it is to spell. b. this he meant
principally the trFf rules and
regulations and the three languages,
German. Russian and Cecho- Slovakia.
Czecho-Slovakia.
On Feb. 20. he will continue his
talks and will speak principally Of
Italy.
