HUGE DROP NLOANS
Brings HEAVY GAINS
ALONG WALL STREET
Blocks Of 5000 to 10000
Shares Change Hands at
Frequent Intervals
RANGE FROM s1.oo TO $500
Indications Seem That Shares
Have Changed From Weak
Hands to Strong

New York, Aug. 16.-(P)-The stock
market started off on another wild
bull rampage today as a result Of
the unexpectedly large drop of $685.
100000 in federal reserve brokers
loans Blocks of 5000 to 10000 shares
changed hands at frequent intervals
In the early trading, with the initial
gains running from 81 to 50 a share.
Total sales in the first half hour
fell just short of 10000 shares, with
the ticker II minutes behind the mar
ket.
Prices on the New York curb ex-
change, and the other leading securi-
ties markets. also rallied sharply In
sympathy with the rise on the New
York stock exchange.
The drop in brokers loans, in the
face of the sharp rally which followed
last Fridays break, was widely IN
terpreted as an indication that stocks
had passed from weak hands to
strong interests who we're able to
carry them without recourse to bor-
rowing. This tended to alleviate fears
that important interests were liqui-
dating stocks, and stimulated active
short covering on the part Of bear"
traders who had sold stocks earlier In
the week on the theory that brokers
loans would advance to new high.

ZEPPELIN CROSSES
EASTERNRUSSIA IN
FLIGHT TO ORIENT
Route May Garry Craft Across
Tundras Near Arctic Circle;
Reports Are Meager

More than SO hours out of Fried
richshafen. the world -girdling Graf
Zeppelin was speeding today toward
the Siberian tundras. apparently on
q somewhat northerly course in an
effort to avoid unfavorablc winds.
The huge airliner. with its 20 pas
sengers. was reported north of Perm
near the Urals at Z am. eastern
standard time, when she radioed
Friedrichshafen that all was we'll on
board.
She was heading In q northeasterly
direction. which would carry her over
the northern Urals into Siberia,
rather than across the middle region,
which had been planned.
The Zeppelin was making excellent
time. When north Of Perm she had
covered approximately 2.lO0 miles of
her 7,000-mile journey, an average of
slightly more than 60 miles an hour.
Reports Of the airliner, so frequent
yesterday during her passage over
Europe. became meager today. AS the
ship steadily drew nearer the vast
tundras or Siberian plains lying south
Of the Arctic circle 1t was expected
that only occasional wireless reports
would be picked up, and that reports
Of actual sightings would become in
frequent.

This announcement, made here to-

there to roam around at their direc-
ton and to strike where the striking

to keep the electric lights from going
out during these summer thunder
showers.
They found that lightning hit too
infrequently to furnish much infor-

fore Dorothy disappeared last Tues

repudiated his story almost as soon
as it had been told.

taken into custody yesterday at q
shoe store, short distance from the
Aune homo. and to another man who
proved reticent under questioning

HAGUE NEGOTIATIONS
BRAND Calls on Snowden With
Proposition From Other
Creditor Powers
PLAN EVACUATION OF RHINE
French Declare They Have
Reached Limit in Seeking
to Satisfy British

The Hague. Netherlands, Aug. 16.
-(AP)-Last minute efforts to
reach an agreement on the financial
question and plans looking toward
evacuation Of the Rhineland were in
progress today at The Hague.
Premier BRAND Of France called
on Philip Snowden, British chanccl-
lor of the cxchequer. with formal
proposition from the other creditor
powers.
It is understood that Great Brit
ain was offered 60 per cent Of Its
claims or about 3O.OOO.OOO marks a
year (about $7,5O0,00O) to be in
cluded in the unconditional annui-
ties.
Work on Details
Premier BRAND told Foreign Min
lister Stresseman that the second
zone of the occupation Of the Rhine
land, the Coblenz bridgehead, will
be evacuated by the middle of No
vcmber.
As to the third zone. at. Miami, ex-
perts are still at work studying the
details.
The situation in the financial COM
mittee also was discussed by the two
ministers.
When M. Franoqui made his pro-
posal to Chancellor Snowdcn, he al
50 made a detailed reply of the
creditor nations to the chancellor's
argument in the course. Of which
Francqui declared the British inter-
ests had been far better cared for in
the reparations settlements than the
chancellor had admitted.
Italians Are Firm
The four countries in whose behalf
Francqui spoke were France. Italy,
Belgium and japan. Before today's
meeting the British chancellor had
declared offers previously made
were totally inadequate and unless
other creditors found way Of salts
flying British demands fully it was
futile for the financial committee to
meet tomorrow.
The French delegation has made it
clear it has gone to the limit of pos
sibilities seeking to make up sum
to satisfy the British while the Ital-
ians have remained firm in resist
ing the British position. These
circumstances had dcepencd the
gloom overhanging the headquarters
of the various delegations this MORN
ing although it was hoped the last
minute efforts might be Of avail.
