NEW YORK, July % 0.N.S0
The New York cotton market was
somewhat lower during the fore
noon trading today on lower than
expected Liverpool cables and a
bearish report by the exchange
service.
At midday, October sold at $40,
off IL; December at 9.O3, off IL;
January at 9.O4, off IL; March
at 9.33, of 13, and May at 9.4S,
of IS.
In a trade report. the New
York Cotton Exchange Service
estimated world consumption OF
American cotton in June at $780,
900 bales, against $4,000 in May
and $4,000 in June, 1880. Con-
sumption in the IL months so far
this season totaled 1O,221 900
bales against 12,148,00O in the
like period last season. The SER
vice said that world consumption
total for this season will be in
line with earlier indications OF
about 100000 bales, as COM
pared with l3,02l 900 consumed
last season.
Consumption and stock figures
to the end OF June tend to con-
firm previous indications that the
world carry-over of American cot
ton as of July 81 will be about
100000 bales, against 6,187 900
on July 81, 1880.
According to the service. the
situation in the domestic cotton
manufacturing industry continued
unfavorable last week. Prices of
goods declined with the raw ma
terial, total sales by mills were
less than total current output,
and foreign mill advices were
somewhat less favorable than in
recent weeks,

WORK AND WAGE
DROPS IN JUNE

The Federal Reserve Board re-
ports industrial production showed
more than the usual seasonal de-
cline in June. as factory employ
ment and payrolls also decreased.
Wholesale prices, which had con-
tinued to decline until the end Of
May, advanced in June. but most
commodities declined again in the
first half of July.
Factory employment was re-
duced by nearly per cent. and
payrolls declined by 6 per cent be.
tween the middle of May and the
middle Of June.
The reduction in industrial
activity in June was marked in the
iron and steel industry, with steel
plants operating at 38 per cent of
capacity. Automobile output also
declined further, and there was
some recession in production of
lumber meat products and flour.
Petroleum output was not re-
duced.
Activity in a relatively large
volume Of the textile mills and
factories continued a bright spot
on the industrial horizon. Decline
in the consumption of cotton was
not in excess of the usual sea.

Vice President Grace National BANK
American business Is notable
for the readiness with which it Is
able to adopt and aSsimilate radi-
cal changes in accepted business
procedure. 1t is scarcely Is years
since the establishment Of the
Federal Reserve SyStem-Well
within the experience OF the aver
age business executive-and dur
ing those few years the system OF
financing the import and export
business of this country has al
tered materially.
Banking facilities which were
unObtainable in this country be-
fore the war are now utilized by
our business men every day as a
matter of course.
Limited Before the War
Prior to the war, our general
knowledge in regard to interna-
tional finance was extremely linn
tied and our practical experience
in such matters was even more
so. In New York, for example,
foreign banking was confined to a
limited number of private bank
ing houses and the foreign depart
ments of even the bigger banks
we're either nonexistent or so
small as to be practically un.
worthy of mention.
The passage of the Federal Re-
serve act opened the door of the
foreign field to the American
bank. In the first place, it per-
mitted banks in this country to
establish their own branches
abroad and, second, it authorized
our banks to accept bills of ex-
change up to a tenor of six
months sight for the purpose Of
financing goods in transit not only
between the United States and
other countries, but between any
two foreign countries.
AcceptanceS Explained
It must be remembered that
the bankers acceptance has for

tween imports and exports, and
representing a. decline of $64, ,253,-

serve to reduce the volume Oh
American exports to the southern
republic, in the opinion of govern
ment experts today.
Mexico went on the silver
standard yesterday. This was
interpreted as meaning that the
gold reserves we're being depleted
because of the unfavorable
balance of merchandise trade
and that Mexico no longer could
make the gold grade"
Trade Balance Shifted
The country is a victim of low
prices of important raw materials
including copper, oil and silver,
all of which are exported in large
volume. The low silver price
affected the trade balance, al
though American officials said it
is not expected to have a material
bearing on the buying power of
the silver peso,
The peso has been used for so
long in Mexico that its value as
a purchasing medium is well
recognized in the domestic trade.
However, in international trade
such is not the case. 1t was
pointed out that a country or
buyers in any country making
purchases in other lands must
pay in a medium of currency
satisfactory to the seller.
Conversion Necessary
1t will now be necessary for
Mexico to convert silver into gold
exchange when making payments
to foreign countries which are on
a gold standard unless its balance
of merchandise trade makes
possible payment in kind"
Officials expressed the belief
that the Mexican government
must set up some sort of a silver
sterilization agency. possibly
through the bank of Mexico. The
suggestion was made that it
would be necessary to convert
the bank of Mexico into a
bankers bank" more of the
nature of the American Federal
Reserve Banks or the central
institutions OF europe.
