Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 15.-With Eng
land, France, Belgium and Switzerland,
all participants in the Young plan bond
issue of last Spring, now, for individual
financial and political reasons, refusing
to go along with the $125, 1000, 900 loan
to Germany, the burden OF sustaining
the credit of the Reich Is placed on the
shoulders of American bankers. They
have some small assistance from Swed-
ish and Dutch bankers, with German
institutions taking a moderate portion
of the new issue.
1t was recalled today that when the
French franc was on the decline four
years ago and the financial crisis in
France was most acute, American bank
ers gave France substantial credit and
that this practical support helped her
through her troubles. 1t was not neceS-
sary for her tc use much of this loan.
The psychological effect of 1t, however,
was a most valuable aid in her recovery.
There is strong feeling here, as well
as in Europe, that France in the pres
ent situation is ducking her response
bilities and that while the great bulk of
the loss of gold and of capital by Ger
many has been the means of increasing
the already burdensome total of gold at
the Bank of France, French bankers are
not Wiling to assume the natural bust
ness risks that arise between debtor and
creditors. 1t is also a matter OF COM
ment that Switzerland, which has bene-
fitted greatly from the export of capital
from Germany, and a considerable por-
ton of which Swiss banks have reloaned
to Germany at profitable rates, is also
one of the countries which has drawn
away from a good customer when her
creoit is being attacked.
The $125,000,000 credit to Germany,
arranged by American bankers, will go
mainly into the portfolios of the prin-
cipals in this loan and their close bank
ing associates The public will not fig
ure in it. Obviously, the time is not
opportune for asking investors generally
to absorb additional amounts of Ger
man credits after the depreciation that
has occurred in what they already own
and with the political outlook in Ger
many at the moment SO uncertain.
The part that the Bank for Interna-
tional Settlements has played in the
negotiations for a German credit and
in the effort TO devise ways and means
for supporting the mark brings it for
ward in time much in advance of eX-
pectationS when it was organized as an
influence in international financial af-
fairs. Here also the role of Americans
has been prominent, for Gates McGar-
rah, the president of the bank, and his
assistant, Leon Fraser, have had much
to do in drawing the heads of the CEN
trail banks of Europe together for a
conference in this emergency. 1t is
known that both men have confidence
in the ultimate recovery of Germany
and that there is no question whatever
in their minds as to the ability of Ger
many to meet the principal and inter-
est on all of the loans Of govern
mental or quasi-governmental charac-
ter and on municipal and provincial

LOS ANGELES, october IS. - Sep
TENDER continued to show improve
ments In most industries and strength
ened the forecast of August for the
coming Fall season.
The Industrial employment index
stepped up 2.6 points, with those lines
not actually showing increases stand
ing firm; building permits showed an
increase of l per cent over September
of last year-the first time this year
that permits have topped last years
figures-and 2 per cent over the pre-
ceding month. Postal receipts exceeded
September, 1929. by under l per cent.
the second consecutive increase over
1929.
Bank debts fell below August; stock
exchange transactions were much more
active, showing 81 per cent greater
total than during August. Retail sales
for August registered little improve
ment over the several previous months
and were lower in volume than during
August, 1929. Wholesale volume adj
vanced somewhat over the previous
months, but was still below September,
1929.
Among the important industries, con-
struction, as reflected in the building
permit records, had the most active
month in some time, with public pro-
jects already let starting active work
and building material prices rising in
practically all branches. Wearing ap-
parel, in spite of the setback of the
local strike, which affects womens
coats and mems suits, is working at
satisfactory volume on Fall orders, ex-
banded production units in the dress
industry being kept busy. Millinery,
also, Is producing at about capacity.
due to volume buying of retailers in all
price ranges. Furniture factories are
busy with Fall orders and the molten
picture industry Is under way en- large
production schedules.
While agricultural conditions are
satisfactory, the market is unusually
slow, with resulting setbacks to grow
ers' returns. The live stock situation
in this district is not altogether salts
factory, due to low prices for both
cattle and sheep.
Neighboring States report quiet bust
ness conditions, largely influenced by
the lowest copper price in years, but
an upward trend in construction.

silk prices reached their pre-war levels
during the year. Cautious buying of
raw silk, curtailment of broad silk
manufacturing and decrease in raw
silk imports resulted throughout the in
dustry.
Gradual. but steady, improvement in
conditions Is expected, according to the
silk association, with even more con-
sumner preference given to silk over
other ffbers, in view Of the fact that
better values are obtainable than ever
before. The coming season will continue
to see generally conservative buying on
the part of both retailer and consumer,
is the feeling of the silk trade.

BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October 15.-The Curb
Exchange opened actively and mod
erately higher today and held its gains
fairly well. A rather widespread belief
which lacked official confirmation, that
shorts may soon be forced TO cover,
stimulated early trading.
The market leader, Electric Bond &,
Share, after opening up "a on block
of $500 shares, eaSed more than a
point, but around midday rallied. Amer
lean Superpower, American & Foreign
Power. Cities Service, which is ex-
dividend today, and Goldman Sachs
likewise braced.
Strength in foreign markets, especially
in London and Paris, brought buying
into international securities. This move
ment was furthered by the absence of
selling from such centers and by rumors
of mergers, especially in the utilities.
Brazilian Tractor, Light 81 Power,
which was heavily sold on political news
from Brazil and payment of dividend
in stock instead of cash, was one of
the first international issues to advance.
1t soon was followed by International
Superpower, italian Superpower, Hydro
electric Securities, European Electric A
and others.
International Petroleum subsidiary
Of Standard Oil of New Jersey, showed
a stronger tone following remarks OF the
former company's president that he saw
no justification for fears of the present
dividend. Vacuum Oil turned active on
the announcement Of its acquisition Of
controlling interest in queen City
Products Co. of Cincinnati.
The lower-priced coppers, such as
United Verde Extension, slumped to new
low levels as the trade reported further
price concessions in the red metal.
United Gas new turned active and
shade higher as traders heard that the
parent company, Electric Power &
Light, which is an affiliate of Electric
