WORLDS BUSINESS
CENTERS CHANGED
Financial Leaders Abroad
Look to U. S. and France
for Leadership.
BY A. R. DECKER.

By Gable to The Star.
PARIS, France, September 23.-The
Americans and French will be obliged
to cooperate in conducting the worlds
business, say continental business men,
now that the pound has slipped
A Is per cent loss in the exchange
value of the pound is fair estimate
of the amount of prestige London has
lost as a financial center. London,
under present conditions, cannot hope
to be the worlds discount center. AL
ready the bill rate In London has risen
to.51a and So per cent.
French comment, as expressed In one
financial newspaper, is:
British prestige is hurt; also, the
monetary prestige of all Europe is
harmed. while American ambitions are
made easier of realization. The dollar
and the franc are the only currencieS
holding in the present crisis"
This crisis, brought to head by re-
valuation of the pound, Is expected to
have far-reaching effects: First. definite
abandoning of the gold exchange
standard; second, real economy in gov
eminent administration, and third, a
return to honest currency with bona
flde silver coins in circulation.
Inc cOHIlIleIlldl european countries
which have based their currencies on
holdings of foreign exchange have been
hit hard by the collapse of the pound.
Their currency base is now reduced by
Is per cent. This means imitation for
them as well as for the British, for.
pound bills cannot be collected in gold.
Probably several Central European
countries will be obliged to alter their
currency systems. The Germans, whose
1kr.ex iraF-
tiated the present difficulties, will suf-
fer along with others in the fall of the
pound. Continental governments will
now be unable to complement weak
budgets by borrowing and will be
obliged to reduce expenditures. Also,
the pound wave lost confidence in the
currencies that governments caused to
be issued and will demand honest. Sc
cured notes and honest silver coins.
1t is reported that the British asked
the French to close their stock ex-
change. but the French said that In
dividual needs required keeping the
market open. They compromised by
not quoting the pound
Most of the short sales are supposed
TO originate in Amsterdam, which is
the traditional short market for cur
rencies. other large short sales were
in Canada, where Montagu Norman,
governor of the Bank of England, has
Just passed his convalescence.
The European bond market is curious
TO know the attitude of the British
regarding foreign bonds expressed In
pounds. Is the service on a loan going
to be paid in gold or in deprecated
currency? 1t is pointed out that there
is a British group of bondholders
formed to urge the French to pay the.
service on loan in gold francs. Now
comment Is protesting that bondhold-
ers can open the pound section.

BONDS IN ADVANCE
. ON Strong BUYING
German Dollar Issues Prove
Feature OF Rapidly Ad-
vancing Market.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star.

NEW YORK, September 23.-Bonds
were pushed higher today in one Of
the strongest markets of the year.
Overnight emphasis by, bankers on
the unreasonably low levels to which
ponds nave been driven by panic SELL
ing. announcement of the formation
OF a $2S, 000, 900 consortium to hunt out
BOND bargains and slrging stock
market contributed to the strength
from the start. In addition, London
showed flrmnesS on the reopening of
the exchange, which, fortunately, came
after investors had turned to a calm
appraisal Of the benefits of the sus-
pension Of gold payments by England
from their former hysterical surprise at
the necessity for such drastic action.
Great Britain SIPS opened here at
SO, up points on the day. Later
part OF the gain was lost, but around
noon, when stocks started jumping up
ward, this British bond returned to its
high price for the day.
The most notable advances, however,
were in German dollar bonds. Large
amounts Of Young Plan 5las and
Dawes Preparations rs were traded at
constantly higher prices, until a sub
tanned on Monday and Tuesday was
regained. German Central Bank is
sues advanced 2 to points. United
Steel Works 6las gained points and
Prussia IS points. Other Europeans
regained lost ground as fast as they
had lost it the day before.
Foreign issues did not move uniform
~. The highly mixed movements in
these groups represented conditions
brought about by disturbed foreign ex-
changes and security trading restric-
tions rather than corporate develop
ments.
Ford Motor Ltd, leader of the foreign
automotave shares. was up almost q
point at times. Woolworth Ltd. COM
mon, which heads the list of foreign
chain stores. was up about half point
and the preferred also was frmer.
The depreciation of the Canadian
dollar, however. adversely affected Ford
Motor of Canada A, Imperial Oil Ltd,
International Petroleum. Hiram Walker
and other Dominion shares. In the
case OF Brazilian fractions it was the
good buying from London that enab ed
those shares to Withstand the pressure
Of Brazilian milreis and Canadian
dollars.
Removal Of block of some 5000
shares that had been overhanging the
market gave a flrmer tone to Singer
Manufacturing. Safety Car Heating &
Lighting was down around 3 points
and Great Atlantic g. Pacific Tea dis
played heavier tone.
Hungary 7ias, which had dipped 10
points Tuesday. advanced IL points to-
day. Vienna IS ran up points Po-
land Is were points above their pre-
vious close. There were substantial
gains in italian issues. In the South
American list. Argentine IS gained
about points on the average An
nouncement Of the continuation Of serv-
ice on two Colombian issues brought
advances In that republics obligations.
French City IS, the highest grade mu-
nicipal issue In Europe, which have
been quoted at a good premium until
Mondays selling. sold today above par,
after touching "a on the dip japanese
and Australian issues shared the i'm
provement.

THE SILVER STANDARD

It is hoped that Senator Putnam may rally suffi- ceny strong forces and facts to his sver conference plan He is in the Orient where he will study the silver question for many months to come.
 Many have little confidence in the plan owing to past unsuccessful conferences the matter Sen ator Ptman believes the present world panic is due en- tirey to lack of silver standard and illustrates his point by citing the collapse of business in the Far East after India went on gold standard Thus far the United States has refused to take the initiative in calling s yer conference.
 By Senator Pittmans energetic campaign for and world politics for the first time since 1896 The surplus of silver has deprecated silver currency in many countries and closed silver mines is this latter point where silver mining looms large in the eyes of Aaskans Acceptance of silver in the money marts of the world would revive the great silver deposits and mines of the West and Alaska and without question would reuvenate mining in every form.
