In the Stock Market
fBv Thomson & McKinnon,

NEW YORK, April 30.-We should
and probably wall see a lessening
tension in the money furry begin
ming in all probability today. At
least this is the view in banking
circles. While the present level OF
interest rates is far from normal,
the fact that important banking
interests have repeatedly shown a
readiness to supply funds in Sufh-
cient volume to prevent a money
crisis has, in a measure, been able
to discourage hasty liquidation. 1t
has been noticeable for some time
that there is more willingness to dis
regard ~unfavorable developments
and emphasize that which is en-
couraging. This being the case, we
are inclined to believe that with an
easing of money rates, more atten-
ton will be given the continuous
stream Of remarkably good earnings
reports, most important of which
will be that of the steel corporation
with its expected peace-time record,
due this afternoon. We notice an
other sharp drop in crude oil pro-
duction and the assurance that cur
tailment in the California fields will
be working smoothly in another
week. If predictions of lower money
materializes there might easily be
some extension of Mondays recov-
erV.

FRANCE BUILDS
FLYING ROCKET
FOR AIR RACES
Huge Sky Fleet Is Under
Construction; Secrecy
About Plans.
BY RALPH HEINZEN
Press Staff Correspondent

PARIS, April 3O.-Profound Sc
crecy surrounds the building pro-
gram of the French air ministry.
Everything around the ministry
building is in a turmoil and avia-
ton factories are working day and
night to carry out the program.
Everyone knows, or seems to know,
that Farnce is building a huge feet
of ships of the air. Yet not one
word has leaked out about the new
airplanes, their size, construction,
power or model.
And nothing is known about the
flying rocket" with which France
hopes to win the Schneider trophy
at Cowes next September. To lessen
the chances Of any information
leaking out, the air ministry has
ordered that work on the plane be
timed so that it will leave the fac
tory at the very last possible minute,
leaving only sufficient time for a few
secret trials before the Schneider
race.
Employees of the air ministry in
Sist that the machine will surprise
the world and that for line and
power it will differ from anything
that ever has flown in that historic
race.
We fear America in this race, be-
cause the American technicianS have
had two years to get ready for the
contest" said a French air official
today, I'VE have the four best f1iers
in France engaged, but undeniably
they will be at disadvantage, be-
cause of unfamiliarity with the ma
chine and the course.
1.-THE Italians are late in their
work, but the English are ready and
their pilots in training. We will be
ready by August, but if at that time
any fault appears, we will cancel
our engagement rather than risk
u f1iers."
Laurent Eynac, minister for air, is
holding to his refusal to sanction
any French transatlantic flights
this summer. He wants France to
concentrate its attention on build
ing new planes and to modernize
her military and commercial air
fleets.
