BONDS ARE lower
!. ON WAR DEBT NEWS
German Group Especially A.
fected by UnfavorabIe Action
of French Senate.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July Bonds ranged
lower today on q reaction Of sentiment
following the French Senate's action in
insisting on reservations to President
Hoover's debt holiday plan.
Fear Of an unfavorable outcome Of
Secretary Melons talk in Paris revived
the whole dismal picture Of bankrupt
Germany, unable to support her own
currency IN the face of wholesale with
drawals, and the widespread effect Of
such condition on the worlds trade.
However, optimistic operators were re-
iterating their belief that no matter
what occurred in Paris, international
cooperation was now an established
fact and that no international money
crisis would be allowed to develop.
German government bonds were on
2 to 3 points at the opening, but re-
covered most OF the loss in later trad
ing. Young plan 5 12S opened at shade
recovered. Dawes plan Is were of to
90 at one time and then made up the
loss Other German dollar bonds acted
similarly.
The South American list lost virtually
all OF the gains made last week, when
President Hoover was expected to make
some statement regarding aid to South
America. While the President has def
initely said that no statement would be
made, actual aid has been offered by
the Federal Reserve, and private bank
ing syndicates in the last two days
have announced the completion of
plans for continuing debt service for
various South American republics. The
real reason for the weakness today was
the fear of SPECTATORS that the Euro
pean situation would react on the entire
foreign list
Colombian issues, however, were Arm
on the announcement of New York
banking syndicate that 1t had arrived
at an agreement with the Colombian
government. Australian and Japanese
bonds were Arm.
In the domestic list, the only active
group was the secondary railroad bonds.
and here price changes we're small
Nevertheless it was significant that
prices held as we'll as they did, in view
of the negative news from abroad. Car
loadings were reported on the uptrend.
High-grade bonds rose slightly. re-
fecting the end Of tho half-year invest
ment demand. Atchison general IS
gained small fraction. American
Telephone IS were firm. United States
Governments and municipals were
marked up.

INVESTORS SHOWING TENDENCY
TO BUY LONG-TERM SECURITIES
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The star
NEW YORK, July dealers in
short-term securities said today that
they had recently noticed a change in
the attitude Of institutional buyers to-
ward early maturities. These have set
the fashion for the investment market
for the past nine months. At no time
within this generation have banks and
corporations, and even individuals, gone
so completely from a long-term to a
short-term position, or one in which
the highest percentage of liquidity was
obtainable
The symptoms of q change came
about the middle Of June and were re-
flected in an easing of in the prices for
the extremely short municipals and
railroad equipment trust certificates.
These, next to short Government paper,
were the nearest approach to cash that
the holder could carry in his portfolio.
Almost all Of this type Of paper was
quoted at the money rate and. as the
time loans were being negotiated for
from four to six months around Ia
per cent, this became the approximate
yield on the highest grade Of short
term obligations.
Factors Causing Change.
The disposition to shift part of the
1unoS tnaL nave been IN SnOrC-Cerm
securities into those of longer dates
arises from two factors. One is the
feeling that long term bonds have now
been through the mill and are sufa-
GENTLY stabilized to guarantee the buyer
against any considerable depreciation.
They yield from az per cent to 3 per
cent more than do the short-term is
sues. This is a matter of great impor-
lance to the institutions that are unable
to employ their funds in the normal
channels of business at per cent and
whose return on money on deposit has
been reduced to a net of less than
per cent and on loans IN the call mar
ket to below "A per cent.
The second influence urging the re-
vision Of portfolios from an overcrowded
position in short-time paper to obliga-
lions of longer term has to do with
general business. It has been an un-

INTEREST REDUCED
NPR|NCE GEORGES
Four Banks Change From 4
to 3 IL. Per Cent Pay
ments on Savings.
BY a stat, Correspondent. of tn. Star.

By q Stan Correspondent of The Star.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md. July l.
Starting today, four Prince Georges
County banks will reduce their interest
on savings accounts from to "a per
cent. Four ether banks Of the county
will continue, for the present at least,
to pay per cent.
The banks that will reduce interest
are the Prince Georges Bank h Trust
Co., the Clinton Bank. the First Ma
tional Bank Of Southern Maryland and
the Citizens Bank Of Riverdale. There
will be no change in the interest rate
Of the Citizens Bank Of Laurel, which
has maintained an interest rate of
per cent on savings.
Present Rate Maintained.
The banks which will continue to pay
per cent are the Eastern Shore Trust
Co., the Brandywine Bank, the Bank Of
Bowie and the Southern Maryland
Trust Co.
Statements were forthcoming from
these banks explaining their position.
At the Eastern Shore Trust Co. the
following statement was made:
We are continuing to pay per cent,
not with view to getting business, but
solely because of a desire to make every
possible effort to maintain the present
interest rate Of savings deposits We have
been able to pay this interest and all
dividends in the past and think we will
be able to continue to do so. A large
portion Of our saving funds are invest
ed in first mortgages
The Brandywine Bank explained its
position as follows:
We are going to continue paying 4
per cent on savings, as our expenses are
comparatively low. Our savings funds,
which are our inactive accounts, are
largely invested in mortgages in the
community and in that way we have
been able to permit the savings de-
positors to share in the profits Of the
bank TO the extent of per cent"
Other Statements
Similar sentiments were expressed by
the Bank of Bowie, where Cashier
Luers pointed out the business of that
institution is not subject to serious COM
petition. Mr.. LuerS said his bank would
continue to pay 4 per cent at least for
the present.
The oSuthern Maryland Trust Co.. re-
ported as favorably inclined to the pro-
posed interest cut. has taken no action
but will consider the subject at the next
meeting OF the board of directors.
The banks that agreed upon the in
terest cut have issued previous state
ments explaining curtailed income has
made the step necessary.

usual phase of the investment situation
for over a year that long-term bonds,
on the average. have responded COM
paratively little to cheap money. Ordi-
narily, low interest rates and high QUO
tations for long-term bonds 60 hand in
hand. 1t Is true that certain limited
claSsifications OF corporation issues
whose maturities are dated Is to 40
years of have stepped up considerably
This was mainly because Of their
scarcity and their acceptability as in
vestments legal for savings banks and
for estates. More than in any other
time in years the factor determining
the trend of a long-term bond or q
group Of bonds has been earnings. AS
earnings have been universally poor
throughout the industrial and trans
portation world industrial and railroad
bonds have dropped in many cases to
the lowest prices since they were issued.
Business Picking Up.
Now it appears that business shows
more life. This revival will bring back
q part Of the lost earnings. It does not
matter so much now what the rate
of interest is in the time money or
call money markets Bonds In the next
six months will fluctuate primarily with
the index of business, rather than with
the curve OF interest rates. Those who
have been turning their attention from
short-term paper to long-term bonds
are confident that business has touched
bottom, that the valley Of depression
If as wide as it is going to be nd
that, before the end of Summer, there
will be definite signs of a pickup in
all of the major industries.
This analysis has to do entirely with
domestic bonds. There is comparative
ly little In the way Of short maturities
in the foreign dollar list. In thu latter.
the political as well as the credit factor
has for some time, and will for many
months more, determine the trend Of
the great majority of the long-term
issues. The short-term foreign fnanc-
ing is practically all in the form of
bank credits. With these the public
has no close acquaintance.

GENEVA, Oct. 13.-Japan and
China presented their cases in the
Manchurian dispute before the
council of the League of Nations to-
day, but their deadlock continued.
Kenkichi YoShizawa, Japanese
representative, reiterated Japan's
offer to direct negotiations with
China. Alfred SEE, for China, in
sisted that China never will con-
sent to direct negotiations until
japanese troops are withdrawn
from the occupied portions of Man
churia and reparations have been
made.
SEE again laid the whole problem
to the council for settlement.
Yoshizawa, presenting Japan's at
titude to the afternoon session of
the council, said military operations
in Manchuria were now at a. stand
still.
A state of war does not exist, he
explained, but Japanese troops still
are obliged to protect their nation
ais and airplaneS have to follow the
movements of Chinese troops. It
was thus, he said, that the bomb
ing Of Chinchow happened.
Aristide BRAND, veteran apostle
of peace, was called on by the coun-
Gil to direct it's efforts to prevent
war.

DickerS With Marking

~ Udtted Press
TOXIC, Oct. 13.-Japan sought
direct negotiations with China to-
day as the League of Nations coun-
Gil convened at Geneva in an at
tempt to prevent war.
Baron Kijiro Shidehara, japanese
foreign minister, swept aside his
diplomatic corps in suing for a
closer contact with Marking gov
eminent authorities. China already
has refused to deal directly with
Toxic, preferring to keep the league
between them.
Shidehara informed his diplomats
that he had decided" to negotiate
with Marking on fundamentals of
the Manchurian crisis, now danger
ously near the breaking point.
A settlement of the controversy
must include China's pledge to
cease anti-Japanese activities with
in its own country, especially anti
Japanese teachings in school books.
Shidehara said.
Japan also will insist upon recog-
milton of her treaty rights, the min
lister added. He referred to Japan's
long leaSeholdS on the harbor of
Dairen and vast network of rail-
roads in the areas extending from it..

NEGRO SHOT IN
EVICTION CLASH
Constable Turns Gun on
OuSted Mans Companion.

Attempt of a constable to evict
a west side family resulted in the
shooting today of Cleon Hizer, 80,
Negro, of 1926 Roach street, by a
constable in an alteration in front
of justice of the peace court.
Hizer was shot in the leg by Con-
stable R. j. White, 38, of 275 North

Woodford, charging possessions
had been removed from his home
by White while the family was alb
sent, went to Peck's court this
morning to demand an explanation.
He was accompanied, White said,
by Hizer.
White said Hizer reached into his
back pocket as White approached
him in front of the building. He
said he thought Hizer was reaching

Police did not arrest White, but
held Woodford and Hizer on va
grancy charges.

Damage to East Side Home
Estimated at $500.

Awakened early today by choking
fumes of a fire in a downstairs
room, five persons at the home of
Thomas D. Moffett, BOG North Irv-

and several valuable books were
ruined by the blaze, Moffet said.
Motfett said his wife, Mrs. Lola

almost had suffocated.
Moffett reused his son Harry, Is.
