BY j. 8, SLUMP

BERLIN, June 20 U.S).-As
a sequel to the slump in prices In
Wall Street, the Berlin BourSe
passed through a depressing week.
Losses were heavy, especially in
shipping and electrical shares.
There was a slight recovery at
the close of the week, but the
rally was so feeble that it did not
make much impression.
All financial attention here Is
centered in Wall Street. It is
realized that bad times in the New
York stock market mean depreS-
sion on the German Bourse, al
though some express the hope
that the losses in Wall Street will
result in more American money
going to Europe.
The internal political situation
is causing great anxiety. the cry
being for a strong man." The
rumor that DR.. Schacht might
take over the ministry of finance
caused a temporary rally despite
the fact that personally, DIR.
Schacht is not especially popular.
A further reduction by the
ReichSbank rediScount rate did
not have much effect. It is noted
that the rate has been reduced
from 71a per cent to per cent in
six months without helping the
economic situation materially.

Americans are the greatest
travellers in the world, judging
from the record figure Of $745,-
000,0 spent by tourists in other
countries last year. Foreigners
in this country spent $50, ,OO0, 900.
In the summary Of the balance
of international payments made
public by Secretary Of Commerce
Lamont today, Canada was shown
to be the favorite touring ground
for Americans in other countries,
because of excellent highways
affording automobile traffic, wide
advertisement Of Canadian resorts
and, naturally, the proximity OF
the United States and the Do
minion. In Mexico, American
tourists spent $4,000, 900.
The lures of Paris and famous
French resorts make France the
most popular of all countries
abroad for Americans. Expendi-
lures amounted to $137 100000
last year.
Other leading nations in the
American tourist trade included:
Germany, $44.676, 900; the United
Kingdom, $40, 500, 900; Italy, $780,
433, 900; Cuba, $21 900, 900; Switz-

LONDON, June % (U.S).-The
surest index of a panicky London
market, which is q reflection Of
Wall Streets upheaval, is the sur
prising appearance in the London
Daily Express of a front-page let
ter to the editor from Lord Mel
chett, chemical magnate and a
leading financier. Lord Melchett
rebukes the press for "the dis
turbing of the public confidence
through constant playing on the
front pages of peSsimism and de-
featiSm, which is q part of a big
bear movement"
This week has been the worst
since last autumn, with three fail
ureS whispered as impending
against settlement day. Not only
international shares dropped in
sympathy with Wall Street de-
clineS, but domestic issues also
were depressed, especially leading
motor shares. such as Austin,
Leyland and Dennis. Cable and
wireless shares moved fitfully,
but Marconi responded to the
publication Of a reaSSuring state
ment. b.
Raw rubber sold below IL cents
with shares idle. Shell and Eagle
oils went through heavy hquida-
ton with slight recovery. South
African mining shares showed a
general advance.

Spirit of Activity Pervades In,
Financial District Here as
Stocks lump About In N. r.
By JOHN 2. NEyIN. ia.


Washington bankers and brok-
ers today reflect the unrest that
Is the keynote of trading on the
New York Stock Exchange. A
spirit of watchful waiting per-
vadeS the e.ltire financial district
as the quotations are ground out
Of the ticker.
With the stock market dropping
to lower levels than it has been
for more than year the brokers
are Joined by the many investors
who do business through their
firms. Board rooms are. crowded
and a rustic Of comment goes up
as each quotation comes over the
wire.
News tickers, carrying the gos-
sip and comment of the stock
market and other features of
trading are scanned with the
greatest Of interest. HuStling board
boys quicken their pace and place
the latest figures on the stock
board.
While brokers here admit they
are worried over the trend the
market has taken they still main
tain their optimism, and show
that there will be a recovery with
in a few days.
A large number of sales were
ordered over the weekend follow
ing the disastrous drop of Satur-
day. when stocks Of the blue chip
class were kicking around at
prices below those ever felt.
Market advisors, men who have
made their entire life's work that
of following the activities of
stocks, are puzzled over the trend
as much as the brokers. How
ever, they maintain that the mar
ket will recover and point out
predictions they have made In
previous drops that have come
true as a means Of testing their
Judgment.
1t is a known fact, however,
that many wire houses received
orders from their customers call
ing upon them to sell stocks that
they were holding for them. An
other thing that has offset this,
however. Is the fact that many
Of the larger operators, backed
by much money, are buying
sound stocks for short profits.
They will wait for a rise of only
one or two points and then sell
out and take their smaller profits
rather than wait for long term
profits.
The stock market is a specu.
lators' mart, one prominent broker
declared here today. He pointed
out that even those who held
good stocks were selling them
and getting into the market as
"Scalpers." The brokers, however,
advised that this procedure be
taken up only when the operator
had the time to watch the prog
resS of the ticker without inter
ruption and had enough furxis
to protect his investment against
minor raids.

MART OUTLOOK
BRIGHTER

NEW YORK, June % CU.S)
Increased activity in the market
for investment securities is fore
seen by E. A. Pierce and Com.
pany. members of the New York
Stock Exchange. The firm points
out:
with the prospect for con.
tinued ease in money rates dur
ing the next several months,
an even more active market
should develop for investment
securities. The large OverSub-
ScriptiOn almost entirely by
banks Of the recent Treasury
offering Of $4OO. 900, 900 12-m0nth
certificates, despite the low in
tereSt rate of re per cent, in
dicated the heavy. accumulation
of funds, diverted from other
channels and anxiOuSIy seeking
employment.
"The successful Offering Of
the German reparatfOns loan
was an index to the abundance
Of resources Of investors. As
more and more of these idle
funds find investment, further
gradual decline in average
yields is q logical consequence.
Conversely, investment values
should enhance"

Return to Normal Is Seen in

NEW YORK, June %. With.
drawal Of loans made Though
non-banking channels will con
tinue to affect the money market
in future months. Dominick and
Dominick will report Monday.
The shifting of the brokers
loan burden to the banks may
represent a return to the normal
situation which prevailed before
the stock market boom, and 9
gener lly stabilizing influence
upon the country's credit facili
ties. the firm leclares, adding:
Low interest rates hold little
attraction for nOn-banking lend
erS, and the latter are believed
to be turning to bonds and
acceptances. While figures for
this source Of credit are largely
matter Of speculation, re-
Election Of this tendency lies
in the course Of loans for &C
count Of others Since early
October this class Of loans has
consistently diminished.
"The June IL total Of ST..
146,OOO,OO0 was less than q
third Of last years high, and
close to the levels prevailing
in the spring Of 1928 before
the upward trend in rates.
Meanwhile, total security
loans, although increasing by
$356,OOO,OOO during the last
four months, remained at the
end of May about $185.OOO,-
900 below the January / level.
"The relatively small advance
in security loans as compared
with a $677, 100000 increase in
brokers' loans during the same
fOur-mOnthS' period may be at
tributed to the fact that in
dividuaI borrowers are shifting
from direct bank loan to loans
from their brokers. Contrary
to conditions at this time last
year, the latter source Of credit
offers generally lower rates
than the bank.
NOHCGEH SUHuCbAA1CS Has UCSAA
expressed for the growth in sc.
curity loans during recent
months. Aside from the fact
that the total is still well un
der the year-end figure Of 1923
and appears now to be further
on the wane, the parallel in.
crease in stock valuations and
new listing offers an interest
ing comparison.
From January 81 to May.
value of listed stocks increased
S6,295, 200, 900, while new list
ings in the same period aggre-
gated $3,O71, 100000. The In
crease in security loans Is OBJ
viously but a small fraction
of these combined figures.
"While value OF all listed
stocks stands currently about
$1,000, 900 higher than at the
beginning Of the year, total Sc
curity loans are nearly $780,
100000 less.

Commerce Julius Klein declared
in a radio address last night.
The flexible provision of the
measure was described by DR..
Klein a most helpful instrument
to be welded for the public
good.
Under this provision, a reor.
ganized tariff commission Is given
authority to determine rate
changes which, If approved by
the President, become effective.
Existing rates can be raised or
lowered up to so per cent.
DR.. Klein called upon the ma
tions OF the world to submit their
grievances over the new tariff for
adjustment through the flexible
provision, saying:
Here is = chance, offered in
the fairest, friendliest spirit,
for our foreign friends to pre-
sent their cases for c0nsidera-
tiOn in . manner devoid Of allie
partisan bitterness and Of the
exaggeratiOns Of political ex-
pediency which are more or less
universal in tariff discussions.
The United States is the only
major commercial nation that
has adhered perSistently to the
idea Of rigid tariff, he said.
