 John T. Bottom, one of the best known lawyers of Denver, for many years legal advisor for the Denver Post, has had charge of the forma- tion of the new company. MT. Bot tom spent a great deal of time dur ing the past summer arranging the legal details of the corporation and is stated to be enthusiastic about the profit possibilities of the pro- perty after personal investigation on the ground where he secured high values from the few tests taken.

NEW YORK, July 18.-The merry

When def1ation drives debtors to de-

minded ard expansion is inevitable.
All signs point imperatively in that
direction and focus the attention of
world finance on Federal Reserve policy,
says the Business Week in its report
covering the week ending July 10.
Whirlwinds of worried words from
financial and. political storm centers of
Europe sweeping across front pages and
swirling through world securities mar

NEW YORK, July 18.-After opening
few points higher. the cotton market
today came under week end LIQUIDATION
and set back Is points at one time.
General rains in Alabama and a steady
stock market brought covering that
closed the list at best figures of the
day, to 3 points higher than yester-
day. Spots were unchanged at $50.
Steadiness in foreign cotton prices
brought an opening improvement here.
While foreign financial news continued
OF more suspicious tenor and COM
parative steadiness ruled in the stock
market, week end evening up of &C
counts created considerable selling
pressure.
The feature OF weather news was an
other heavy downpour in the vicinity
OF Corpus Christi, Tex, where over s
inches Of rain have fallen the past
48 hours. Reports showed over an inch
precipitation at Montgomery, and dur
ing the greater part of the week Ala
bama has received almost daily rain
fall. Comparatively few sections OF the
belt are still in need of moisture. while
many sections have had enough daily
moisture recently to create conditions
more favorable for weevil propagation
than at any time before this season.
According TO prominent Alabama
spot firm, the cotton crop has made
good progress during the first half of
July. In some sections, however. the
plant presents ragged appearance, due
to poor stands. The plant is especially
small in Georgia as result of the re-
duced use of fertilizers and insufficient
moisture during June.

GERMAN BONDL|ST
RECEIVERS FURTHER
Foreign Group Also
Shows Firmer Trend-Do.
mestic Issues Steady.
BY F. II. RICHARDSON.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK. July 1S.-Further re-
covery Of German dollar bonds held
most of the interest in bond trading to-
day. The general foreign list was
stronger, with the best gains, apart from
the Germans, in South American obi
with little interest manifested anywhere
except in the high-grade group.
The opening was slow, rejecting con-
tinued uncertainty as to the progress
Of the Franco-German conversations in
Paris. However, few German bonds
came into the market after the first
hour, and Young plan 5las advanced
az points to q level 1871 points above
the low of the week. Dawes reparations
rs gained 21a to ABOUT IL points above
the low. German Central Bank issues
improved about points. There were
comparable gains in German municipals,
public utilities and industrials.
In the South American group the re-
covery was traced not only to the in
fuence of the strength in Germans. but
also to reports that August and Septem-
Der service on Colombian and Brazilian
loans had been received. Argentine is
sues advanced about points. Brazil
ians moved up point. Columbians were
firm. Even the obligations Of Chile
were mostly higher.
The chief incident in the domestic
list was heavy trading in United States
Government long term bonds. The re-
Gently issued 3lss Of 1949 were pushed
up to new high, at which their yield
to the call date in 1915 was less than
3 per cent. High-grade corporation
issues. like Atchison general As. Cana
dian Pacific Is. Great Northern rs, Nor
folk & Western As. American Telephone
IS, New York Telephone AIS. Utah
Power & Light SIS, puquesne Light AIS
and Youngstown Sheet & Tube IS, were
fractionally higher on moderate sales.
Second-grade rails and industrials were
quiet. with little price change.
The municipal bond market was stag
nant. There were few offerings, and
these were quickly absorbed at slightly
higher prices. The average yield in the
prime municipal list now stands at 3.55
to 4.40 per cent, or close to the best
levels of the year. The rejection of all
bids on New Jerseys $4,000, 900 of 312
per cent highway bonds was the reason
for the shortage in supply. 1t Is likely
that the State will have to market the
bonds with somewhat higher coupon.

NEW YORK, July 18.-The situation
in Germany is brighter. The calmness
Of the Germans under their ordeal
Thursday was remarkable. Long lines
Of people waited at the doors of banks
when they reopened, knowing that they
would receive only enough money for
bare existence, but there was no trou-
BILE. The Germans are living up to their
best traditions as an orderly, law-abio-
ing people.
Signs that the world is regaining
confidence in Germany were not lack
ing Germany regained something like
100 ,000. 900 marks in foreign currency.
The foreign exchange markets were
more stabilized. The French are said to
be discussing the possibility of loan

turmoil of the last few days it is that
the attention of the world has been
drawn to the terrible things that could
happen all over again in Europe. The
German collapse was inevitable, accord
ing to bankers, who say that the fault
rests with those who carved up the map
of Europe after the war. 1t was i'm
possible to slice off parts of the German
empire and then saddle the depleted
country with such staggering debt. "A
dozen little nations were created with
absolutely no economic excuse for exist
ence. What happened this week in Ger
many was foreshadowed 10 years ago.
It was only a question of when the col
lapse would come.
Not Afraid of War.
Bankers were not afraid Of war in
Europe as a result Of the German
financial crisis, but they were afraid OF
a revolution and the declaration OF
moratorium on all debts. Such mora
torium, even If 1t did not go further
and become reputation, would have
spelled terrific losses in the United
States.
The best opinion in Wall Street Is
that there will not be another major
war in this generation. More and more
the nations of Europe are realizing that
the last war was a CHASTITY mistake
bringing only misery in its train. PEG.
pie in Germany, Great Britain and
france are saying today when they sur
vey the general ruin, millions of men
were fed to the cannon for this"
In the more sensational press OF Eu-
rope a great deal was made Of Russian
aid to the Germans in case of war. Rus
STA could be of very. little assistance to
Germany because of her poor trans
nortation system. She could not pro-
vide Germany with arms or food.
