CLOTH MARKET ACTIVE

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 dN.s1 -
The coarse yarn cloth market
continued active today, with sell
ing distributed widely through
many constructions and among
print cloths, broadcloths and
sheetings. There was consider
able selling of long-term contracts
in certain sheetings numbers, both
to converterS and to the bag trade.
Narrow print cloths came in for
attention and prices in some con-
structions were moved up 1-16
cent, with goods becoming scarcer.
Active sheetings numbers included
36-inch, 4Sx40s $50, yard; 36-inch,
els yard; 40 squares, and 40-inch,
2.s5 yard; 4S squares, with carload
lots involved in several sales.
Carded broadcloths continued in
a tight position, buyers finding
some difficulty in locating nearby
goods in some styles at any price.

IN BUILDING

OF the 562 cities and towns of
the United States reporting
building permits during the
month of September to S. W..
Straus & Co., Washington, D. c.,
is sixth with total Of $2,275,-
O65, which does not compare
we'll with the August, 1881, figure
of $3,375,65O. 1t compares favor
ably with the September, 1880,
total of $1,O77,S10. but not with
the September, 1929, figure Of
So, 1872 800.
Of the cities reporting, New
York Is first, Boston second, New
Haven third, Los Angeles fourth,
and Worcester, Mass, fifth.
Total September building per-
mits for the 562 cities and towns
reporting amounted to $96,25S,-
O98, a decline of 42.2 per cent
compared with September last
year, and 1877 per cent less than
August this year. The decrease
between August and September
this year is not as marked as
the percentage appears to indi-
cate, according to S. w. Straus
& Co., as the usual expected de-
cline in building permits between
August and September, due en-
tirely to seasonal factors, is S.8
per cent.

UTILITIES.
GO HIGHER

NEW YORK, Oct. 21.-The
curb market surprised even it's
most ardent admirers, A good
deal Of it representing profes-
sional selling for the decline. The
market had shown itself to be
outstandingly weak in this pc
riod, as lack Of nearby demand
resulted in rather wide declines
in the more volatile issues, but
it made up for this poor shcw-
ing by its comeback later in the
day.
In the utility group, electric
bond and share proved to be the
pace-setter in the varying move
ments noted in this section. The
initial burst Of selling carried
this pivotal leader down to a
low of 201s, but it came back
just as speedily to reach 21N
where it showed a net gain of
h over it's previous close. Ameri-
can
Oils were sluggish, with little
rallying power in evidence. Gulf
was a weak spot, with q dip Of
1% points to 471s, while losses of
fractional proportions were noted
in Standard Of Indiana and
Standard Of Kentucky.
Curb bonds showed a generally
easier tendency, with moderate
price declines predominating,

ent requirements. A re-distribu-
t1on OF at least part Of this
amount is desirable since it would
permit freer lending by the banks
OF foreign countries. In this way,
the foreign trade Of our country
would be stimulated.
But the excess gold holdings Of
the Bank Of France are q waste
tul investment. This gold draws
no interest. 1t is not necessary
Tor the maintenance Of Frances
trade and commerce. Then why
was it acquired?
Huge Circulation Increase
The explanation lies, in a large
part, in the enormous increase in
money in circulation and in bank
deposits in France since the franc
was stabilized. On June IS, 1928,
when the French franc was stabil-
lied, the amount Of currency in
circulation was So billion francs.
On October 9, 1881, it was about
81 billion francs.
The deposits in the Bank of
france in this same period i'm.
creased IA billion francs. The to-
tai increase in the Bank Of
Frances liabilities in this period
was, therefore, 81 billion francs.
Due to restrictions in French
banking laws and the policy Of
the Bank Of France, this increase
could only take place through
large 1mportations of gold. These
1mportations amounted to 81 bill
lion francs in this period.
Much of the increase in the
Bank Of Frances stock of gold i'm
this time has been entirely in.
voluntary, and has doubtless been
due to the fact that q great deal
OF money has gone into hiding.
Ihe French bourgeois and peasant
have from time immemorial,
tended to hide away money in
mattresses and teapotS.
This hiding of money >necessi-
tates the Bank Of France keeping
a much larger stock Of gold than
is needed in other countries
where the boarding practice is
not so universal. Obviously, this
problem could be considered en-
tirely a French problem, If the
wholesale accumulation of gold
did not interfere with the return
OF the world to prosperity.
T0mOFrOw's article will tell how
French gold boarding has resulted
in raising prices Of all goods in
France.

STEEL AID SEEN
IN RATE TILT

NEW YORK, Oct. 81 GN.S0.
The Interstate Commerce Com
missions decision permitting linn
tied freight rate increases on Ger
tain commodities, including steel,
pig iron, scrap, machinery, iron
ore, coal and coke overshadows
in Importance other develop
ments in the Woodworking in
duStries this week, according to
the weekly Iron Age summary to
be released tomorrow.
Whether these advances are
sufficient to influence buyers gen
orally to abandon their extreme
caution and lay in some stocks
before the new rates take ef-
feet, and whether the railroads
themselves will become more
liberal in their steel and equip
ment orders are questions that
cannot be answered at this early
date, but it is expected that some
business stimulation will result,
the magazine said.
There are scattered indications
of a slight broadening in de-
mands for steel, this summary
points out, coupled with reports
Of visible Improvement in the
business of some Woodworking
manufacturers, but the small de-
mands from lines that normally
account for the heaviest con-
sumption of steel.
Consequently steel ingot pro-
.duction is still lower this week
at % per cent Of capacity. The
falling off is partly accounted
for by completion of pipe orders
and a slackening Of tin plate
output.
The Iron Age composite prices
for pig iron and steel scrap have
reached new lows, the former at
$15.17 gross ton, compared
with 1854 a week ago, and the
latter at $8.75 a ton against
1888 last week.

FlagstOne Walk

Set back a considerable dis
tance from the street, amid the
beauties Of a terraced and
artistically Handicapped plot, this
slate-roofed home with rough
stucco exterior, strengthened BY
the usual timber treatment and
splotches of well-placed stone
and bricks, is approached overa
winding flagstone walk. The
approach ends at an open
terrace over which the Wis
itor passes to a covered en-
trance set deep in the tiled walls
of the house. But ere we pass
into the home, let's take .
look around the exterior. An
other flagstone walk leads Off
the covered entrance. Follow
ing it one finds it leading into
an equally beautiful rear yard
which, with its trees and
shrubs, presents as pleasing ef-
feet as that offered by the front
lawn.
Now, back at the front door.
The single piece door, with its
small lead-paneled window,
leads the visitor into q siZeabls
hall, off Of which open q spa
cious step-down living room,
which, with pleasantly faced
open fireplace and beamed cell
ing, presents picture Of true
nominees. Built-in bookcases
flank the fireplace, while the
side-wall lighting fixtures and
light brown Textone finish ON
the walls lend the desired depth
to the room.
Other equally attractive and
well proportioned rooms on the
first floor include a dining
room, service pantry, kitchen
with the usual built-in fea-
lures, electric refrigeration cab
met, and, last but not least,

The active railroad stocks fell off

New York, oct. 21.-The worlds
gold problem will certainly form
one of the more important SUD-
jects Of discussion between
Premier Laval, of France, ano
President Hoover when they hold
their conference this week.
This fact is assured by the
presence in Premier LavaFs party
of Prof. RiSt, financial adviser to
the Bank Of France and one OF
that country's most prominent
economists. It is further assured
by the fact that, within a month.
some $70O, 100000 has been sub
tracted from the gold stock OF the
United States.
Mostly to France
Most of this money has gone
to swell the already huge stock OF
gold held by the Bank Of France
"a stock which is now nearly as
large as that held by our Federal
Reserve System, as may be seen
by last weeks comparative figures:
Bank of France gold holdings,
$2,380, 0,0OO,O 900; Federal Reserve
System holdings, $2,836, ,000, 900.
Since June IS, 1928, when the
French franc was stabilized at
about one-fifth. Of its pre-war gold
value, the wonder Of the financial
world has been the growth Of the
French gold holdings. On that
date her holdings were about ST.
036, 100000 In little over three
years, this stock has increased
over 125 per cent, or by $1,344,-
600, 900.
