conditions prevailing throughout the
world last year, the actual volume of
world exports was within 10 per cent
Of the record 1929 total when price
reductions which occurred last year are
taken into consideration World exports
as estimated by the council amounted
to $4,000 100000, in dollar value, a
decline Of $6,500, 100000 from the 1929
total.
Our commerce confronts situation
which merits the consideration of all
concerned in foreign trade" Mr. Farrell
continued, in urging foreign traders 10
give careful thought to the problems of
the present year. 1T Is time for thor
ough examination of economic condi-
tons and for practical demonstrations
of that spirit and habit of cooperation
that so signally marks American for
eign trade practice"
Mr.. Farrell will speak on THE World
Trade Outlook at the convention.
Among the speakers will be Victor M.
Cutter. president of the United Fruit
Co., Boston, who will speak on "Our
Relations with Latin America; Wallace
r. harrington, publisher of The Homo
lulu Star-Bulletin and former Governor
of Hawaii, who win discuss THE Pacific
Area" and DR.. Max Winkler, vice presi-
dent of Bertron, GriScom g. Co., sched-
uled to speak on Underlying Economic
Conditions Affecting Credits"

Association, Export Managers Club of
New York, Inc; National Association of
Credit Men, National Council of Ameri-
can Importers and Traders, Inc, and
special committees of foreign trade ex-
ecutives of banks and advertising man
ayers will cooperate with the council in
holding group sessions at the conven-
ton. One Of the general sessions will
be exclusively devoted to the problems
of Latin America.

eign traders from 40 States is expected

u. S. MONETARY GOLD
LARGEST IN HISTORY
Present Holdings Comprise 40 Per
Cent of Total Stocks in World,
Report Shows.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 20.-There is
more monetary gold in the United
States now than at any time in its
history.
The amount, $4,6s5 900 900, revealed
IN the weekly Federal Reserve state
ment for March 10, is 425 per cent of
all the monetary gold in the world and
Is $1,O00,000 greater than the previous
high mark Of $4,684, 100000, established
May IA, 1927.
The Inquire Is more than twice that of
France, which has maintained an aston
1sh1ng rate of gold imports for more
than year, and is seven times that of
England, the weekly statements of. the
Bank of France and the Bank of Eng
land reveal.
The total is the greatest ever achieved
by any country in financial history and
is about two and one-half times the
amount in this country at the outbreak
OF the World War. 1t is, considerably
more than dollar-for- dollar backing for
all currency in circulation in this
country.
About $3.50, O0O, 900 was added to this
countrys monetary gold during the last
year in imports from European and
South American countries and So, OOO.-
600 was imported last week alone. prin-
cipally from South America and Central
America and Mexico.
Concentration of gold in the United
States and France, which together hold
$1,000 100000 Of the worlds total of
S1l 100000, 900, has been given consider
able attention in banking circles and
there are indications Of tendencies
which will bring a more equitable dis
tr1bution Of the metal. Britain par
ticularly has depleted its resources. The
situation Is regarded as largely a post
war condition.

CURB SHARES GAIN
IN STRONG MARKET
Public Utilities Are Leaders

Bid Up.
BY JOHN A. CRONE.

special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 2o.-Streneth
and activity marked the performance
of leading stocks on the Curb Exchange
today.
The upswing, as usual, began under
the leadership of public utilities, with
Electric Bond & Share heading that
group, but rapidly spread to other Sec
lions. After opening unchanged at 5912
on lot of 1000 shares, Electric Bond
81 Share moved ahead about a half
point. Cities Service also was far more
active than usual, and came within a
small fraction of its best level for the
year.
One of the features of trading in the

tered their attentions on a few stocks
In each group. Thus Noranda Mines
was bid up to a new high after it had
opened on lot of 1000 shares at 27as

was due to President Murdoch's re-
marks about the new gold veins found
on the company'S property.

measure proposing a one-half mill tax
on each kilowatt hour generated. Elec-
trio Shareholdings and Central States

The turnover in United Gas, which

natural gas shares. Pennsylvania Water

BOSTON, March 20.-The united

week, and records the position of business
at 23.4 per cent below normal, compared
with "a per cent below normal last

greater stability Of wholesale prices, the
increase in production of manufactured

in agricultural conditions. The service
believes that the way is now being
cleared for general improvement in
business, but predicts that this will

when Mir. Fowler secured his gun, thinking to do a lit tie deadly work himself, he ran up against little more trouble. Aiming at the bear and pulling the trigger, there was only a snap; ether trials resulted ditto. The bear by thi stime was on it's way to other parts; it had had an- other lucky day. During its brief oc- cupation of the cabin it had gotten away with almost a slab of bacon, a quantity of flour a batch of sour dough and other things to it's liking; had consumed largely nf a keg of ber- ries in juicy state, which the bear had overturned, the footprints of which were visible al lover the cabin.
 John Rieck, after being away for a few hours, returned to his Canes creek camp only to find his tent shat tered and torn, much of his grub either consumed or scattered so as to be useless, aside from which a moose skin robe, a part of his bedding, had been carried away. Yes, he came to town.
 Out at Yankee, in the vicinity of the Higgins dredge, is the camping ground of another member of this sc- called Harmless" species This fel low must have been touehed by some unfriendly bullet or else made con- nection with trap at some time in the past, for his trails indicate that he travels on only two front and one hind leg. He seemingly has a great liking for hotcakes as prepared by Mrs. Higgins, for which of course no one can blame him, and of which he has carried away few at time on his several peregrinations. It is not probable that he will occupy a den during the coming winter. It is said, in fact, that his .days are numbered and that the Ast one is not far off.

HEARS SEEM TO BE PLENTI.
 FIJI IN VARIOUS SECTIONS

A. H. Mitchell, who returned here a couple of days ago from his head
 quarters over at the head of the
 Ditna, reports that bears are quite numerous over in that section and are doing most destructive work wher- ever and whenever it is possible for them to do so., Just before MT. Twit- chell arrived at his camp two bears had killed three of the reindeer herd and then struck out for other parts, according to MT. Fowler, partner of MT. Twitchell, who was at headquar- fers during the latter's absence. On "a prior occasion Mir. Fowler had re- turned to his home just in time to find another bear hard at work on the inside of the cabin. Mr. Fowler, after making the discovery, ran around to window at the side of the house, the object of this move being ito drivet he bear out of the door and thereby save the windows.
