embargo against nations waging ag-
gressive warfare. President Coolidge

president already is empowered to
put such an embargo into effect
against countries Of the western
hemisphere where there is domes-
tic trouble and against other coun-
tries in which the United States has
eXtraterritorial jurisdiction.
The president looks with sym
pathy, however. upon such pro-
posal so far as its principle is In
volved, but believes each detail
should be carefully examined as TO
its effect in operation.

NEW YORK, March 25.-Higher
money interpreted as foreshadowing a
revision in discount rates this week,
sent prices into another decline on the
Curb Exchange today
The weakness followed a somewhat
steadier opening but on the first indi-
cation of tightening credit offerings
we're pressed on an already thin market
and quite pronounced weakness de-
veloped. Volume increased when the
reaction was in full swing, suggesting
that weakly margined holdings had been
diSlodged.
Only a relatively few stocks were
spared in the liquidation. Among these
Rainbow Luminous. Firestone Tire and
Noranda Mines moved up sharply
against the main trend. The extent
of the decline, however, offset any eff
feet which might otherwise have result
ed from such maneuvers.
Among the weakest shares were
Fajardo Sugar. with further break Of
points on top of last weeks 11-point
drop; Checker Cab, Hiram Walker,
many of the aviation stocks and sew
eral of the important utilities. In the
high-priced leaders Newmont lost 7
points. Phelps Dodge 10, Grigsby Cru
now 4 and Auburn Auto a similar
amount
Liquidation was heavy also in Gold
Seal Electric, Trans Lux, New Cornlia
Mines, Bohn Aluminium, American
Cyananlid. Rubberoid. Swift & Co. and
the Marconi issues. Canadian Marconi
in the international group was I'M
doubtedly affected by the credit situa-
ton in the Dominion.
In the utility section. American
Superpower, American and foreign
power warrants, American Gas g. Elec-
trio, United Gas Improvement, South
eastern Power & Electric Investors were
all lower. Electric Bond Sc Share felt
the additional factor of new financing.
American Light & Traction was rela-
lively steady. International Telephone
& Telegraph new was strong while the
old stock on the big board was advanc-
ing. but came down later.
Among the oils Humble was the out
standing strong spot, rising half a
dozen points in further appreciation of
the 1928 earnings report and merger
talk. Indiana Standard, Ohio, Ken
lucky and Gulf Oil Of Pennsylvania
showed early strength, but lost the i'm
provement subsequently. All the Cities
Service issues displayed heaviness.
Aviation Corporation of America
broke away from the general market
and for time was buoyant, rallying 10
points above last weeks final figure.
The entire gain later was wiped out. |
Niles aforementioned. Fokker, keystone
and Bliss were weak throughout.

Interest is centered on the situation
In Chicago, where drastic measures are
being taken by banks to reduce the
borrowings of brokers. It was reported
that $40,000,000 pool had been formed
and would be Immediately available for
stock loans out of contributions made
by corporations who are now lending
their surplus funds out on call. This
report, however, was denied by the
president Of the Chicago Stock Elk

This week is expected to bring about
definite test between the Federal Re,
serve authorities and the Wall Street
element, who have been fighting the
high-money advocates. Whether an in
creased discount rate will be made in
any one of the important centers of
New York, Boston or Chicago will de-
pend a great deal on the extent to
which liquidation in stocks proceeds.
There were evidences Of distress Satur-
day in some of the larger and more
recently formed pools. m

BY KENNETH S. VAN sTRUM.

NEW YORK, March 25.-At the
opening of the market on Monday Of
last week the general level of stock
prices was at the high point which it
has reached many times now since No
vember. Again the heavy selling which
seems to set in the moment the market
approaches this point was too strong to
be absorbed and the market declined.
Most stocks moved over much mar
rover range than for many weeks. In
fact, it took stiff call loan renewal
rate, which increased from per cent
on Monday to per cent toward the end
of the week. to force the general market
only slightly lower. On the whole, the
market behaved surprisingly we'll and
one is forced to conclude that until
prices drop far enough to impair some
of the margin accounts which are carry
ing the more speculative issues liquida-
ton will continue in an orderly fashion.
Passive Bank Policy.
AS time goes on it becomes increas-
ingly evident that the Reserve banks
are resigned to policy of allowing stock
speculation to kill itself. Obviously,
they believe decline in the volume O
brokers' loans desirable. but if thr
attempt to force liquidation they on
expose themselves to the accusation til
they are destroying security values.
the other hand, when they merely Ia
the attitude that further sharp
crease in the use of bank funds /
speculative purposes will not be pc
mitted they are not forcing Intensely
to act unless the market NOV
sharply upward and begins to absol
additional sums of credit.
While it is true that last week
brokers' loans increased $l66,000 900 to
a new high level, it is to be remembered
