STOCK FALL

BY DAVID P. sENTNER


| NEW YORK, Aug. 9 I.N.S.l.
The butcher, baker and candle
stick maker who have been
playing house in the stock
market today received one OF
those jolts.
The parachuting downward Of
the market for an average drop Of
10 points among the headliners
wiped out thousands Of the recent
army Of new financiers.
The break was mainly due to the
general advance in the rediscount
rate anticipated from the raising
OF the rate from 10 per
cent by the Federal Reserve Bank
4 in the New York district.
Plenty OF Money
The relationship Of the rediscount
rate Ito tho movement Of stocks
was a BIZ VAGUE. II not pure Greek,
To the average amateur outaot town

Il prominent banker furthered the
schoolboy explanation of the matter.
AZ member banks in the Federal
Reserve system borrow their money
from the central bank The redis.
count raise means that they will
have to pay per cent Instead of
5 per cent for these advances.
This viii mean that money to be
used for stock.market purposes VIII

said.
The banker. however. pointed out
that the effect on the market was
largely psychoIogi al. as the banks,
generally speaking. dad plenty OF
money available for loans.
Col. Leonard p. Ayres, vice presi-
dent of the Cleveland Trust Com.
pany. believes there win be no
serious results from the increase in
the New York discount rate.

This was a belated action that
was expected some time ago." he

are main reasons for attracting
gold to this country and with the
chances favorable that call rates
will not go higher and may be re-
duced the probability of an increase
in gold from England is decreased"
In London, Berlin and Paris the
exchanges recorded drops of from
one to three points. Aside from re-
fIecting the rediscount action, the
gloomy outlook for a settlement of
the reparations situation was held
responsible for the weakness Of the
lists.

Favored by good weather,
the Graf Zeppelin had COM
pleted more than half of her
transatlantic journey from
Lakehurst, N. J., to Friedrich
shafen, Germany, this after
noon.
Based upon the latest position Of
the air liner, wirelessed to land by
Commander Hugo Eckener, it was
estimated this afternoon that che
Graf had travelled more than 100
miles since her deparfure from Lake.

was an average Of more than 81
miles an hour.
The Zeppelin IS expected TO reach
Friedrichshafen tomorrow afternoon
or early evening, unless held UP by
headwins or mechanical trouble.
Winds Over Europe
1t is anticipated that the ships
progress will be slowed down after
she gets over continental Europe
due to the cross winds that in-
variably prevail north and west Of
the Alps.
Cablegrams from Berlin and
Friedrichshafen said that German
officials are jubilant over the mag
nificent start made by the Graf upon
the beginning of her round the world
flight, of which the Lakehurst-F Fried.

The international News Service
radio station at sos a. m, Wash

to establish radio contact with sta
ton DAM in Germany. Both the
Graf and the German station were
broadcasting on short wave lengths
and while the operator here could
hear both it was evident that they
could not hear each other.
