American Banks
Hold $35O,OOO,O0O
In German Credit
Large Eastern Institutions
Have About 90 Per
Cent of Total.
BY CARLTON A. SHIVELY.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Wall Street
bankers have prepared for their own
purposes a survey of credits granted by
American banks to German government,
state, municipal and corporate custo-
mers which are outstanding. Participa-
ton of American banks is less than half

Assuming that $1,000 100000 to be
a fair total for short term credits in
force in Germany, half, or $3.50, 000,-

are credits due in less than 80 days.
Credits not yet due are not of pressing
interest. Many large ones do not ma

one, two and three months credits.
The $650,000,O00 is a world total
figure. The share of American banks
is about $350,000,00O. Since so large
a share of the total is domiciled in
Wall Street, it is easily controlled and
it is not particularly difficult to secure
agreement to let this portion of the
credits remain out.
These credits are quite safe. With
return of confidence and a flow of
capital in her direction, they will rapid
ly regain their nquidity.
Wall Street estimates that not to
exceed $35,000,000 of these short-term
credits are extended, directly or in
directly, by banks in other cities. Some
interior banks have been making vigor-
Gus protests against standing pat on

any portion from being Withdrawn, but
SO difficult is withdrawal, on account
of the red tape involved in the new
German financial control measures,

better to maintain its position as

HIGHER OIL PRICES
ENCOURAGING TRADE
Extensive Shutdowns of Wells Re-
fected in Stronger Tone
of Market.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

TULSA, Okla, July 25.-Higher
prices for crude oil are spreading as
operators are shutting in wells in two
of the older major pools in Oklahoma,
which heretofore have been an impor-
tant source Of supply. In the general
advance top price of 40 cents was
reached this week, or approximately z
cents a barrel over the quotations that
prevailed prior to the July 8 ultimatum.
Reversal in the course of crude oil
prices. although applying to only 20 per
cent of the daily production of the five
Southeastern States, is the result Of the
withdrawal of nearly 100000 barrels
daily of fresh petroleum from market
available to inland refiners, whose crude
oil requirements could be profitably met
only from the field in which the shut
ting down of wells is being practiced.
Oklahoma City operators have been
most responsive to the new order. An
nouncement of the largest company in
the field that it would cooperate with
the movement has increased the num-
Der of inactive wells to more than 500.
It IS now estimated that rs per cent of
the producing area and capacity are
inactive.
Curtailment has reduced purchases Of
three of the important buyers from 80
to 90 per cent. AS compared with last
weeks run OF approximately oUOuU par
rels day from Oklahoma City by Sin
clair and Standard Oil of Indiana, this
weeks purchases averaged about 1900
and 5000 barrels day. Standard Of
New Jersey is running approximately
1000 barrels, against 10000 barrels a
week ago Continental Oil also SUI
fered, averaging about $500 barrels
daily, as compared with $4,000 week
previous. During the middle of the
week the production of the field fluctu-
ated from $4,000 to 10000 barrels
daily, as compared with daily average
of 100000 barrels last week and 100000
barrels the week preceding.

by today's statement of the Reichs-

the banks in that country
The report, covering the period from
July is to July 81, shows holdings of
1852, 100000 gold marks, or a decline
of only 13.300,000 marks against a loss
of 85,700,000 in the preceding week.
This, of course, partially reflects bank

increase in foreign currency reserves of
35,100,000 marks against decline Of

Issuance of more money Is shown by
the gain in circulation item from $751;

 To Be Broadcast

Central Park, turn slightly to the west and then follow the western side of the park to Harlem, then to Port Morris. From Port Morris the planes will turn back across Manhat- tan Island to Governors Island and Roosevelt Field.
 This attack will take from twenty to thirty minutes, featuring speed and diving attacks. Flare bombs and other aerial lighting effects will be dropped along the route. The most spectacular part of the flight is scheduled to take place over Times Square.
 On the following day seven NEG announcers will describe the day. light attack, five of them atop Man. hattan buildings and two in army planes. One of the latter will be aboard an aerial bomber and the second aboard an army transport ship.
 The broadcast will begin from Mitchell Field, l.. l., at the general headquarters of the First Provisional Division of the Army Air Corps. The commands of officers at that point to wing and group commanders at Valley Stream, Farmingdale and Roosevelt Fields, No. 1 and 2, will be broadcast. Also the messages of | iCCO6hitioh hhOii IhV "AAo oAN 0ANeP commanders.
 Broadcasting equipment of both NEG and the Army Air Corps will be used in the planes. In addition there will be ground wire lines and short wave equipment set up by NEG, thus enabling those at general headquarters atop buildings and in planes to participate.
 William Burke Miller, NEG spe- cial events broadcast supervisor, will be in charge of the broadcast, from position at Mitchell field. Miller will have control of a cue channel by which he will be able to reach each participant without his words being broadcast.
 A group of NEG announcers will go to Wright Field. Dayton, Ohio, three days before the first maneu- yer over Manhattan to prepare for the event. They will broadcast a de- scription of the rehearsal maneuvers above Chicago the night of May 20, and Brigadier General E. D. Foulois. in charge of the maneuvers, will speak over an NEG network.
 The daytime maneuver will be heard over combined coast-tO-coast networks of NEG but the officials were not ready to announce which facilities would be used for preced- ing night attack.
