British Sterilization
Repayment by Great Britain of 40
per cent of its credit arranged through
the Federal Reserve Board and renewal
OF the remainder of $3.50, 000, 900 for a
period OF thre months would seem To
indicate that the sterilization of the
pound is not likely to be effected be-
fore the entire credit Is repaid.
1t Is within reason to state that both
the board and the Bark of France are
anxious to withdraw from a TRANSACT
tlon which has failed to achieve its
original objective, and which moreover
mas proved more expensive than help
full.
AS soon as conditions are ripe. an at
tempt, doubtless, will be made to ar
range for sterilization loan, which
Is expected to be sold to the American
investing public. This, however. is not
expected TO take place until the repara-
lions question Is somewhat clarified.
Argentina's short-term debt at the be-
gated 1,205, 600, 900 pesos, equivalent to
about $386,000,000 at prevailing rates
OF exchange. OF the total, 100 600 GOO
pesos represented the governmental def
cit in 1929, instead of 90 600 900, which
was at that time given out oficially.
The deficit for the past year reached
352 100000 pesos, to which must be
added unpaid bills for the state rail-
ways, amounting to 1000 900 pesos.
The Provisional President anticipates
considerable improvement as result of
drastic economies and the introduction
OF system of direct taxation He pre-
dlcts a surplus for the first quarter of
1882. In this, he would seem TO be
somewhat overoptimistic.

WHEAT PRICE GAIN
/. ENCOURAGES WEST
Value OF Grain Has Advanced
II Per Cent in 80
Days.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
KANSAS CITY. Mo. November a
touch of encouragement came into
the farm country last week with the
upward turn of wheat. In the month
the price has advanced 81 per cent
from the low level: corn and oats have
advanced ID per cent. To be sure, the
market is yet very low but. any -
turn helps to steady the mental ats
tude OF the producer a most essential
factor at this time. Courage and some
sort Of collateral that gives promise of
return are needed TO enable the farm
country to make progress.
Cash Assets Heavy.
Scores Of good banks are holding
reserves in cash and sight exchange
that should be working" said a ma
tional bank examiner this week. II
find banks with practically the same
deposits as year ago, but carrying
heavy cash assets. Many a country
bank could. and perhaps should, lend
100000 more to customers and enable
them to use up their grain on the
farm through feeding operations and thus
market 1t to advantage The bankers
are afraid. They are less afraid OF the
farmers ability to pay than of an emer-
gency, and. with banks being closed be-
cause of Withdrawals while liquidation
OF notes is difficult, they want to be on
the safe side. In consequence, the
banks earnings are lessened, the rural
residents are losing in the marketing
of their roughage and grains. and busi-
ness is affected in the towns
Car loadings in the interior are well
below the seasonal figures due to the
small movement of grain and the less
ened merchandise activity. The rail-
road freight-rate decision has aroused
lar less interest than some news re-
ports have indicated. The average man
Is not worrying so much about rates as
he Is about general increase in price
levels. The loud protests that arise
when railroads abandon branch line
indicate that rails are yet needed.
Land Value.
An interesting item on the land value
condition came last week from A life
insurance company, with a large part
Of its assets in farm loans. It said:
The vast majority of our loans is in
excellent condition. More than 40 per
cent OF the real estate acquired under
foreclosure has been sold under con-
tract. OF the balance, IS per cent
has been rented on an attractive basis"
1t Is reported that another company.
perhaps the largest holder of farm
loans will return to the field January
l, after having withdrawn for nearly a
year. Farm realty values are considered
at the bottom. and plans made on pres
ent land markets have little chance OF
loss.
Autumn has made little progress in
a business way, but 1t has attained some
steadiness through acceptance of condi-
tons and readjusting of affairs on the
new basis OF values. Every upward
turn. even the smallest, carries cheer
and hopefulness.

BY MAURICE F. DUHAMEL,
Associated Press stsa Writer.

NEW YORK, November "A
Frightening of the business skies is seen
in encouraging reports gathered by the
| Associated Press from all sections of
the United States.
Improvement in the Industrial and
banking situation was disclosed in every
major area. In some the acceleration
was marked. while in other zones a
strong confident undertone was found
In New England, official reports
showed some indications OF a business
upturn and much Of the industrial ac-
tivity that normally pervades that re-
gion. The boot and shoe and hat in
dustries have averaged considerably bet
ter than last year.
Southern Conditions.
Decided signs of stimulation we're
recorded in the South Atlantic tobacco
and GOTTEN areas. Florida hotel opera
tors reported prospects Of a good sea-
son with some expansion of their inter-
ests.
In the Middle South similar condi-
tons were found. The attitude was de-
cidedly optimistic toward impending re-
opening of banks closed during the
worst of the slump.
In the Middle States, industrial oper-
aticns received a quickening message
with the weekly statement of the maya
zine Steel, which reports that automo-
tive buying is coming along, structural
steel requirements are gaining moder-
ately rail orders stand fairly good,
steel works operations are steadier and
softness in raw material prices is mere
pronounced.
The review forecas some four-day
weeks among automobile manufacturers,
but notes gains in orders and an aver
age stepping up of production in the
automotive list.
These reports tailed with others from
the Western States, where utilities
crude oil and wheat had launched
themselves upon fairly active upward
trend. Dollar wheat or better was be-
lieved by Chicago experts to be in sight
after a general advance of 81 per cent
in four weeks, as foreign buyers bid for
American grain. The price caused
hopeful smiles among the agricultural
sections.
Bank Statement Optimistic.
Coupled with brighter news from New
England, the National City Bank of
New York forecast better times on the
basis of the ret!.rn of public confidence
in banking power and credit.
Harry E, Mackenzie, State director of
the United States Employment Service
in Connecticut, reported slight upturn
OF business, with velvet and silk plants
making women's hats working overtime
The clock industry, too, he reported
showed resumption to normal levels,
with some overtime production. The
major proportion of industry in the

schedules, with private building below

Brokers' Comment

NEW YORK, November BROKERS'
comment was cheerful today and a
maintenance Of the better tone was
predicted in many quarters.
E. F. Hutton e. Co.-Good news, real
or imaginary, permanent and temper
airy, Is getting an increasingly ready
response. A temporary insensibility
to bad news seems to be in effect. Con-
ditions favor continuance of better
markets.
Frazier Jelke g. Co.-The only con-
sideration that deters us from taking
bullish stand in regard to the nearby
stock market outlook is uncertainty
concerning the domestic situation in
Germany
Redmond & Co-The rise in wheat
apparently has supplanted international
developments as the most potentially
constructive influence on the securities
markets. 1t looks as though the rally
IN stocks may carry somewhat further.
Hornblower a. Weeks.-We would ex-
pect an increase in outside following 10
develop this week as a result Of the
reassurtng performance Of the market
the past week.
Shields & Co.--Nothing but very
thin, trading market Is to be expected
for the immediate future. Technica1
restraints on trading produce q con-
dition that makes It very dangerous TO
follow rallies too far while the con
slant threat Of more foreign liQuida-
ton hangs over until sterling IL sta
bilized.
