FRANCE berlin
LOAN H|NTED

BERLIN, Jan. 20 .G.N.SO.-Re-
ports came from Geneva and
Paris today that Foreign Minister
Curtius Of Germany and Foreign
Minister BRAND of France are dis
cussing in Geneva the possibility
Of a huge French loan to Ger,
many. Confirmation could not be
obtained here.
If the report is true, it indicates
a complete switch Of French
policy toward Germany from the
Poincare extreme nationalistic at
titude to Brands policy of peace.
Gold Initiation Feared
It is believed, however, that one
of the French conditions for such
a loan would be that Germany
cease her campaign for the re,
vision Of the treaty of Versailles
The French fear of gold infla,
ton if her huge supply of that
precious metal increases still
further is believed to be a potent
argument in favor of the loan.
Curtius Is ASSailed
Meanwhile, a campaign has
started aiming at the removal OF
Curtius from his position as for,
eign minister. His enemies claim
he ignored public opinion in re
fusing to broadcast a speech to
the United States.
RumorS of the French loan
were received with elation in busi,
ness circles. Prices on the stock
exchange were generally higher as
a result.

PROVIDENCE, r. T., Jan. 20.
The first public announcement of
the plans Of the Van Sweringens

president Of the Chesapeake &
Ohio and Pere Marquette rail
ways, and William H. Boyd, attor-
ney for the Van Sweringens, will

nual dinner of the Providence
Chamber of Commerce.
The railroad situation in New
England and its relation to the
Chesapeake & Ohio will be dis
cussed by Mr.. Bernet and Mr..
Boyd.
Reports have been current in
New England railroad circles that
the Van SWeringenS are contem-
plating the acquisition of the
Boston & Maine Railroad. Other
rumors that the Cleveland broth
ers were about to purchase the
right of way Of the uncompleted
Southern New England Railroad
were denied by Mr.. Boyd.
you may say that 1 have
not heard Of it," Mr.. Boyd
declared, "and if 1t were true
1 am sure / would have heard
of it,"
Control of the Boston & Maine
Railroad. in the latest reports
rests with the Peenroad Corp,
affiliate of the Pennsylvania
Railroad. and the New York, New

UPSWING AIDED
BY COVERING
Of SHORTS
General Electric Comes Back
After Drop; us. Steel Leads
Active InduStriaIs Group
BY w. S. COUSINS

NEW YORK, Jan. 20 GN.S0
Railroad, steel and utility stocks
led the market into a slightly
higher level of prices in early
trading today.
Expectation of further improve
ment in the steel industry, to be
shcwn in the Iron Ages weekly
survey tomorrow, and reported
increase in orders for new auto
mobiles stimulated a better de-
mand.
Bears Cover Shorts
A number of bears were said to
be covering up on recent short
sales, and accumulation" was
under way in other stocks which
were fairly active on the tape.
Stock sales in the first half hour
totaled only 148,000 shares
General Electric snapped back
to 4212 after an early dir to a
new low at 415s. President Ger
ard Swope, in special release to-
day, estimated the 1880 orders at
% per cent under 1929, the last
three months of last yea: show
ing a 80 per cent decline from the
same period in the previous year.
The decrease was due IN part to
the transfer of business to the
Radio Corporation, jointly con-
trolled by General Electric and
Westinghouse.
Steel Leads Rise
Professional short covering in
the second hour accounted for
the steady rise of the active in
dustrials. U. S. Steel was a leader,
with an advance of nearly 2 points
to 140A. American Caa moved
up IA to 1084. Westinghouse
rallied a point to 8412, ana Allied
Chemical was up 312. Katy led
the speculative rails, with a 2
point rise to 2612. Bethlehem
Steel, at 4712, showed a gain of
1A.

Assumption Questioned


In interesting sidelight on the
current weakness of the highest
grade issues, in contrast with the
relative SteadineSs of the general
run of secondary stocks is put
forth by an usually wellinformed
banking source tending to ex-
plain the loss of popularity of
these former bull market high
fliers. 1t is pointed out that
earnings of many of the largest
companies apparently held up
relatively better than did those of
smaller companies during 1890
and resulted in continued good
support for the stocks of many
Of the large industrial organiza-
tions. Such support was based
on the assumption that 1880
earnings would prove to be the
minimum that might be expected
for number of years. It is only
recently that this assumption has
been seriously questioned.
Earnings Doubtful
However, with the growing
willingness to admit that when
general business activity does be-
gin to show improvement it will
be a slow process, doubts regard,
ing 1881 earnings results are in
creaSing. A projection of fourth
quarter earnings of 1880 into
part of 1881 would require a
fairly vigorous revival in business
before the end of the year to in
sure better total earnings than
in 1880, and consequently there
is considerable doubt that 1880
earnings represented basic
minimum for a large number of
leading companies.
May Show Accumulation
1t may be that the current
period of inertia is representing a
genuine period Of accumulation,
for houses committed to the bull
side point out that since the
turn of the year there have been
but four trading sessions in which
volume has run in excess of two
million shares.
Commonwealth Is High
A study of the holdings of IS
large fiXedinvestment trusts re-
veals some interesting informa-
ton regarding the issues most
preferred by managers of this
type of holding company. In
number of shares held by these
trusts, Commonwealth and South
ern lead with 167,388, followed by
North American with 112,975,
General Electric with $500,
Consolidated Gas with 87,700,
Pennsylvania Railroad with 86, 100,
Standard Oil Of New Jersey with
86,100, Otis Elevator with "a, 400,
National Biscuit with $4,000, and
American Telephone with 10000
shares. In value, American Tele-
phone holds the lead with more
than $14,329,O0O worth of stock
being included in holdings of the
group, closely followed by Atchi-
son with $12, 100000, Union Pacific
with $12,200,00O, and Ingersoll
Rand with $11 100000.

BY THE SPECTATOR

The blue-chip members Of
the market were subjected to
another pruning,Off process
on Monday, and new lows for
the bear market were eStab-
IiShed in Allied Chemical,
General Electric, Case Thresh-
ing, and Westinghouse Elec-
trio, although the net decline
in the averages of 90 COM
pOSite stocks was less than a
point. The volume of turn
over dwindled down almost
to the milliOn-share mark,
emphasizing the wholly pro
fessiOnaI aspect of the daily
activity.
