RUSSIAN BUSINESS
WITH U. S. DECLINES
BY J. r. BRACKET.
Associated Press Business Writer

NEW YORK, June 1.-The Amtorg
Trading Co.. Soviet Union commercial
representative in the United States
while declining to comment TODAY on
the absence of Russian discussion at
the National Foreign Trade Convention.
SAID Russian business with America
mad declined greatly in the last few
months IN the face Of increasing Eu-
ropean trade.
Though the Soviet was included on
the official program at other foreign
trade conventions, it. along with Can
ada, was not formally represented at
the New York meeting, which ended
last week
The Amtorg statement pointed to
!ong-term credits granted by Germany.
Italy and other European countries
unoer government guarantees as the
reason Tor Europes increased trade.
Ihe outstanding agreement of this
nature was that recently concluded be-
tween the Soviet and leading German
lndustrialists, providing for the purchase
In Germany of about $4,000 900 worth
OF products between April Is and Aug
ust 81, 1884," the Amtorg statement
said.
These purchases, which provide for
long-term credits guaranteed to the ex-
tent of go per cent of the total bv the
German government, are expected to
bring German exports to the Soviet
Union up to about 100000. 900 this
year. as compared with SIPS, 00O, 900 last
year.
"A credit accord reached between the
Soviet and Italy provides for purchases
OF about $18, 100000 during the current
year. These are guaranteed up to IS
per cent OF the total by the italian gov
eminent. 1t is now reported from re-
liable sources that negotiations are
under way to increase the credits pro-
Vided for in Italy to $31, 400 ,0OO."
The Amtorg also suggests that other
agreements are soon to be reached with
England and other European countries.
"An this activity" says the state
ment. contrasts sharply with the drop
in Soviet purchases recorded in the
United States. Recently the An1tore
announced that purchases Of American
products by Amtorg fell from 60.441.-
600 in the six months ending March
81, 1880. to $33, 1885, 900 in the same
period Of the current year.

FOREIGN BOND LIST
CONTINUES LOWER
American Corporation De-
bentures Also Lose Ground.
Declines Smaller.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch 20 The Star.
NEW YORK, June 1.-The influence
of the $500, 900 900 Government loan to-
day on other Treasury issues was slight
and not noticeable in other parts of the
high grade list of bonds. The longer
Treasury issues reacted moderately,
while Liberty fourth ANS were up bit.
1t Is expected that the new issue will
be heavily over-subscribed art that its
success may encourage the Government
to place additional loans at the same
rate of interest later in the Summer.
There was no let-up to the declines
In the various sections of the foreign
dollar bond list or in American corpora
ton issues. The intensity of the liqui-
dalton and decline, however, was not so
great as during last week. Argentine
issues were somewhat steadier following
the official survey Of the situation in
Argentina and the emphatic statement
that the country's debt will be taken

all Italian issues. Another political
demonstration over the holiday, namely
that IN East Prussia against Poland,
a1ected German loans and curiously
enough, the German Is most OF all.
They were off 2 points. Poland IS de-
clined a point.
In the American market weakness
was pronounced in International Paper
IS, which touched a new low record; in
international Telephone 412s and SIS at
new low prices for the year, and in
Postal Telegraph g. Cable SIS, which
were of points. Pathe rs were down
IL. There were fractional declines in
most OF the railroad convertibles as well
as In some of the refunding issues.
There was general lack of rally in the
railroad junior bonds such as those of
the Frisco, Rock Island, Chicago &
Northwestern, Missouri Pacific and
Nickel Plate.
The average Of the bond market is
now at the lowest of the year. If the
high grade issues are eliminated, the
average Of the second grade bonds is
the lowest in about five years. There
are nearly 200 different domestic and
foreign bonds quoted below so. A large
percentage of these issues, including the
South Americans that are in default,
DO not average price much better than
IS. The size Of the weekly net declines
Is nearly as great as that in speculative
stocks.
There has probably never been a
time in the history Of the New York
STOCK Exchange when so many different
kinds of bonds were at such large dis
counts as today.

DISCOUNTS DECLINE
IN FIFTH DISTRICT
Drop of $899, 600 Noted
Prior to Reduction in
Reserve Rate.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press
RICHMOND, Va, June 1.-Preceding
the reduction Of the rediscount rate
from 31a to per cent by the Federal
Reserve Bank of Richmond, effective
May Is, William w. Hoxton, chairman
and Federal Reserve agent at the bank
here, in his review of Fifth District con-
ditions for June, today said that the
aggregate volume of rediscounts held by
the Richmond bank declined $4,000
between April Is and May Is.
This decline was reported despite
some seasonal increase in country bank
borrowing last month incident to crop
planting needs.
The holdings of bankers acceptances
purchased in the open market were re-
ported to be nominal in both April and
May, but the bank increased its total
earning assets by purchases from other
Federal Reserve banks of $13 5000, 900 Of
Government securities.
Notes in Circulation.
Federal Reserve notes in actual cir
culation continued a seasonal decline
middle of May. decreasing S2,455 900
during the period. Aggregate reserve
balances, according to Mr.. Hoxton's re-
port, at the Federal Reserve Bank of
Richmond declined by 1857, 900 be-
tween April 16 and May IS, country
banks drawing on their reserves to meet
agricultural needs. Several changes,
including the purchase of Government
securities for temporary investment,
lowered the banks cash reserves by
Sl4,930,000, and reduced the ratio Of
reserves to note and deposit liabilities
combined by 1862 points
Mr.. Hoxton'S comparison of condi-
ton figures for May Is, this year, with
those for May Is of last year showed
decline of s3.275,000 in rediscounts
for member banks, and a drop of So
OO5,O00 in the portfolio of open market
paper, but these decreases in earning
assets were more than offset by an in
crease amounting to S17,343, 900 in hold
1ngs OF Government securities. so that
during the year the total earning as
sets OF the Federal Reserve Bank Of
Richmond rose by S5,063. 900.
Rate of Return.
However, he said. the rate of return
on earning assets this year was ma
terially lower than the average rate a
year ago. The reserve bank was So. 1885,
OOO higher on May Is this year than on
May Is, 1880, the review said. but mem
Der bank reserve deposits held by the
bank decreased $2,791 900 during the
same period.
Aggregate cash reserves of the Fed
eraI Reserve Bank Of Richmond were
reported to be practically the same at
the middle Of May in both years, but
the ratio Of cash reserves to note and
deposit liabilities combined was 3.41
points lower on the 1881 date, he re-
ported.
