CHICAGO, April 9.-In the face OF

Corn and oats also were
firmer, with corn starting Il to rs up,

A feature of wheat trading today was
the fact that commission house interest
appeared to be centering on July and
September deliveries. Both months
showed increased volume Of dealing.

May delivery. Meantime advices at

DECLARES MITCHELL
PREVENTED PANIC
BY IRVING FISHER.
Special Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW HAVEN, Conn, April e. We
seem to have battle royal growing out
OF the recent near-panic in Wall Street.
Senator Glass has attacked President
Mitchell of the National City Bank
Sides have been taken, acrimonious dis
cuSSion follows and congressional in
veStigation is advocated. While be-
lieve that there is something to be said
on both sides, so far as can UNDER
stand the situation, Senator Glass was
unjustified In his attack.
The fact that Mr.. Mitchell is q d.
rector of the Federal Reserve Bank OF
New York Is not necessarily q bar to his
taking Independent action as president
Of his institution. He did not seek to
lower the rate of interest on call money,
but in such a panicky condition the
only way to avoid a real panic Is to
make 1t certain that all the money that
Is actually necessary can be had at
price.
In my own opinion, the present sit
uation is entirely unlike that of 1920,
not only as to banking reserves, but in
every other way. The imitation, If there
be any, is confined to the stock market,
and ] think 1t is very much smaller
than seems to be thought by Senator
Glass and those who believe with him.
Senator Glass attitude seems to be
a reflection of the old prejudice against
Wall Street and speculation In general.
In this view all speculation Is regarded
merely as gambling. But as every
economist knows, and as business men
and the general public today know to
a considerable extent, speculation is
benehcent when wisely practiced by in
without manipulation and false rumors.
It is ignorant stock gambling which
does the harm, combined with OCCASION
al ui1scrupulous manipulation by pro-
fessionals producing corners In the
market.

CURB ISSUES SAG
I'm SPOTTY MARKET
Ford of Canada New B Stock
ts Furnishes Sensation
of Day.
BY HARRY H. BECKER.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-Spectacular
gyrations in Ford of Canada new "B"
stock provided the big feature on the
Curb Exchange today.
In the most excited movement wit
messed since trading in the issue COM
menced at So last Friday the price of
Canadian Ford scared sensationally al
most 20 points above the preceding
closing and making q total gain Of
nearly lis points from the Introductory
price. Then it came down as fast.
While this startling demonstration was
in progress, Ford old stock rose quietly
without attracting much attention.
Urgency of the buying of Ford new
found no explanation in the news and
seemed to be chiefly at the expense of
the remnants of short interest which
took a position against the issue before
the misunderstanding as to the voting
privileges vested in the split-up capital
had been cleared up. Heavy Canadian
purchases of the stock were reported by
people who failed to share in the allot-
ment under the offerings recently
heavily oversubscribed.
The rest of the market continued
spottv. with sitter resistance to selling
developing in the oils, several special
ties and the metal stocks. At the same
time, the trading element continued to
uncover vulnerable spots in the indus
trial division and in the utilities. sew
eral of which broke rather acutely
Grigsby Grunow. Gramaphone. Libby

all relatively high priced. displayed the
most unsettlement.
Power and light shares continued to
be literally offered with American
Superpower "a" getting below 500 and
the "B" declining in sympathy. Electric
Bond & Share, Southeastern Power,
American Gas & Electric and Common
wealth Edison also lost further. Inter-
national Telephone new reacted several
points.
Metal shares, after some display of
resistance, gave up what they gained
earlier and there was haSty unloading
in nearly all sections, resulting in q
general recession.
One or two issues stood out rather
conSpicuously, however. Consolidated
LaundrieS was influenced by the favor
able action Of stockholders in approving
the stock purchase contract on $4,000
shares at approximately $3.50 a share
between the corporation and the new
management, and the reelection of d.
rectors. Oliver Farm equipment was
steadied by announcement of plans to
acquire the assets of the American
Seeding Machine Co., while Irving Air
Chute was well bought on the news that
the company has Just received an order
from the Russian government.

HIGH MONEY RATES
AFFECT GOLD IMPORT
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 9.-The pull on
the money markets of Europe recently
caused by extremely high call rates
here. has brought gold imports into the
foreground of the domestic credit situa-
ton to the embarrassment OF the Fed
eral Reserve Board.
It has been announced that the Bank
of France and the Bank OF Belgium
have placed gold in the amount OF SILL
600 600, and held for their account IN
New York, at the disposal OF the Bank
of Germany. This Is, In e1ect, an ex-
port of gold by Germany to the United
States, which has been expected Tor
some days, as German exchange mas
lowered around the gold point.
Foreign markets are as much con-
cerned over the possibility Of sending
gold here as Is the Federal Reserve
Board, for If the shipments reach any
size it will mean that the discount
rates of several of the central banks In
Europe will have to be raised. This
would be harmful to European industry,
while the effect Of such shipments in
this country is to increase the supplies
of credit and stimulate a speculation
which the banking authorities are try
ing to check.
A few months ago imports Of gold
began to be heavy and at that time
Germany was among the exporters of
the yellow metal. Measures were taken
to correct the situation before it became
serious.
1t is understood that recently some
of the large foreign banks that have
been lending out money on call In the
New York market have shifted their
funds into 30-day time loans, on which
the rate is 8 per cent. There is still,
however, a heavy volume of foreign
funds represented in the total of So
889,000,0 900 Of brokers' loans for the
account Of Others" and over which
the Federal Reserve can exercise no
authority.

The management of one of the hotels

figures as Winter resort has devoted a
huge wall space in the lobby to an IL
Illuminated weather vane that flashes the
exact range of the veering flaw, as it
blows now north, now south. Daily,
crowds cluster about this weather clock
and watch the little lights flicker the
slightest turn of the vane as 1t ticks of
the slightest wind whimsy.
The more ingenious guests Con rainy
days. have invented a mild form Of
roulette and gamble on which light will
show next, or how many times north
is apt to flash on as against north
west; South" as against southwest, y
etc. Broken-hearted boys who have
played losing game against the ele-
ments have been known to rush out In
the rain, after especially heavy losses
and drown their sorrows.

Native farmers of Africa are invoking

blacks are strongly in favor Of new
methods because last year the average
farmer fed his family and saved $3.50,

will double his savings. Not only are
crops being rotated scientifically, but
tractors and other modern agricultural
instruments are being used. In Uganda
peasant farms Of five acres plus q COW

Radcliffe Hall to the Hamilton Request

Glasgow for $1,000, which was given to
the lord mayor for the relief of unem-

$4,000 to the fund. The portrait is one
Of Sargent's best known works. Mrs.
Batten, the subject, was a prominent

heard her sing, admired her art so
much that he insisted on painting her
portrait as she was singing. He after-
