Europeans Try to
Hold Gold as u. s.
Markets Pull 1t

NEW YORK May 13. CP)-The
Unsuitable money demands of the
New York stock market have set
up a magnetic flux which is Juggling
at the gold reserves or the worlds
leading nations with such force that
central banks abroad are endeavor-
ing TO nail down their yellow metal.
While in this day Of paper money
and checks, gold to the average man
nd longer is synonymous with wealth,
save in a figurative sense, ii still
Is the only common measure OF value
In international settlements.
Strong gold reserves. therefore.
are essential TO nations having ac-
counts to settle with their neigh
bors.
High rates for call money. be-
ginning last summer, apparently
checked an outflow of gold from the
United States by attracting funds
from abroad. BY last fall. reports
show. a return flow Of gold began
to pour into the United States in
considerable volume. .
Most of the central European banks
just had succeeded in building up
their gold reserves to a comfortable
basis. and renewed drawing of the
yellow metal to New York was dis
quieting. The bank Of France pur-
chased heavily of gold in New York
and held il "earmarked" for IT'S
account at the New York federal
reserve bank. presumably to be used
TO support French exchange.
These purchases Of gold largely
offset importations of the metal
from England and Canada in the
closing months Of last year.

Trade statistics compiled BY the
New York Trust company are a

future.
In the early years Of the century,
for example. crude materials and
crude foodstuffs constituted AS
per cent OF the total exports from
the United States. In 1923 this
figure dropped to 3l-5 per cent.
In contrast, exports OF manufac-
tured and northumberland prod
ucts were averaging 35-3 per cent
of the total exports back In 1901
the statistics show. This figure had
grown to COL per cent in 1928.
Before 1922 the rate Of increase
was slow. but in the last seven years
the volume of manufactured prod
ucts shipped to foreign buyers has
increased rs per cent.
During the past year the volume
of exports expanded ga per cent. but

total for 1923 was s5.129. 900. 900

States. America always has been
her own best customer. More than
90 per cent Of all goods produced in
the United Stats never leave the
country. Whatever prestige Amer
lea has gained as a purveyor OF the
world has been through the disposal
abroad Of less than q tenth Of her
output.
Meanwhile production is increas-

ly widening foreign market horizons.
Automobiles. machinery and pc

bulk of exports. but other products
Of industry are becoming more and

TAMMANY REJECTS GOV. SMITHS
 COUNSEL.

Tammanv has reflected the counsel of Gov Smith and chosen John F. Curry, an old time District Leader for chief to succeed Judge George w. Olvany who recently resigned, account of his health he said though it generally has been assumed that he retired in the interest of harmony for the or ganization and peace for himself Judge Olvany was selected on the advice of Gov Smith to succeed the late Charles F. Murphy He was one of the high type of public men that came to the front under the leadership of Gov. Smith. He is schol- arly and cultured gentleman, able lawyer who made fine record sa a jurist. Under his leadership Tammany attained the confidence and respect of the thinking people of New York and the country in greater degree than before in the history of the organization With him became prominent such men as Senator Wagner, Judge Lehman, Judge Cordoza Judge Foley and others
 However much of the rank and file of Tammany has found this parade the higher levels irksome. The task of making Tammany respectable in the eyes of the country has not fitted in with the conception of politics entertained by majority of the old District Leaders whose experiences have dated back to the Croker and early Murphy days. and much criticism has been heard in many Tam many circles of the independence and high brow" course of Gov. Smith. Apparently the "old guard" element has triumphed over the "elder statesmen Smith, Wagner, Foley and Walker. Also, appar- ently the elder statesmen" lost when Mayor Walker joined the "old guard' tssaN. ss vasseesf @sa'

Too Much Fanaticism.
Boise, Idaho, Statesman.

Boise Idaho Statesman Drastic orders said to have been issued directly from President Hoover Prohibition agents against too free of deadly weapons during raids under the enforcement law The agents are also warned to be that they have proper evidence on which to base raids and then to go into action wary of the sanctity of homes and rights of cti- zens.
 The Executive has probably been impelled to such action by the swelling volume of indignation throughout the Nation over recent unwarranted raids and resultant killings. But it just an- other case of locking the stable after the horse is stolen"
 High-handed methods used in fanatical. enforce ment had been upheld too often by authorities and inevitably led to the resultant tragedies attendant upon minor infractions of that law. Sympathy does not lie entirely with the victims of these arbitrary and ruthless law officers. The average citizen up holds reasonable law but not to the extent of trad ing human life to prevent the sale of pint of liquor.
 That law officers themselves often do not possess firm belief in the righteousness of their own &C., tions is shown in the of recent killing of woman in raid at Aurora, Ill. melted thereto by the alleged perjured story of a "snooper."
 The "snooper" now threatens to fasten the blame for the raid upon the County authorities and the latter seem disinclined to probe the case. But the people have become aroused thoroughly as to de- mand full investigation. Lives are cheap when they become such pawns in game in which legally constituted authority to lack faith in it's convictions

The Valley Gains

Best available information. secured soon after the
recent stock market collapses in Wall Street, was to
the effect that few Valley people lost any money
when the slide took place.
On the other hand the Valley mas a good oppor-
tunity to gain considerably from adjustments that
are expected to follow the stock price drops.
For almost a year now the bond market has been
poor. Bonds which formerly brought a good premium
have gone begging, or have been purchased by indi-
viduals at a discount.
The Lower Rio Grande Valley issues and sells many
bonds. It will continue issuing and selling them, be-
cause it Is a growing country. and must build public
improvements to keep pace with private Develop
ments.
The optimists see in the reaction which they ex-
pect. q strong possibility Of a better bond market.
People over the country, especially little investors,
are not going to be so prone to gamble their money
on Wall Street for some time to come. Call money
may not pour into Wall Street from the four corners
of the country as it has been doing. The bankers may
decide that a six per cent bond is better than eight
per cent on call money, If any more such crashes
are in prospect-and they are bound to come II gamh-
ling and buying become as general over the country
again as they were just before the recent crash
A representative Of a bond house in the Valley re-
Gently said that the principal reason for the decline
in the bond market is the large amount Of money
placed on call by investment banks.
"These banks are our largest and steadiest custom
ers," he said. ~When they do not buy, we have a hard
time turning bonds. They are using most Of their
money now to back stock market speculations."
A let-up in the stock market speculation Is indicat-
ed. There is still plenty Of money around the country
10 buy bonds. In fact there is an over-supply of it,
for conditions generally in the United States are good.
II the investors decide to go back to bonds, as is
Predicted, then the Valley should reap a benefit in
a better price for its bonds.
