LEADING POWERS
CONVENE TO
DISCUSS PLAN
They Will Meet in London
and Try to Straighten
Out the SnarIs of Hoover
Program

London. July S.-UP)-The lead
Ing powers concerned in the Hoover
moratorium have indicated their ac-
ceptance of the British government =
invitation to "A conference here.
II was expected committee Of
international financial experts would
convene next Monday and a commit
tee Of statesmen week later. Be
tween them, they will work out the
technical details necessary for put
ting the Hoover accord as accepted
by Paris into effect,
The conference was considered
likely to center largely around the
guarantee fund of 25,000.000 / ounds
sterling which France undertook 10
reserve to cover the former war al
lies In the event of German moral
torium. The guarantee was in ex-
change for the allies concession that
France receive 25,000.000 pounds
sterling in unconditional payments
instead of 15,000,0oO pounds to
which it was entitled by virtue of
the Young plan.
Because the Hoover plan, by sus-
pending all payments, automatically
obviated the possibility of the Ger
mans giving 80 days notice of Il
moratorium for one year, it was gen
orally considered here that there was
no point in raising the guarantee
fund question at present, as France
urged.
1t was understood that recent al
lusions by Philip Snowden. chancei-
lor of exchequer, in the house of
commons, to the effect that britain
makes no further sacrifices" re-
ferred to the British attitude which
might be expected in the event THAI
the guarantee fund was discussed by
the conference. 1t was emphasized
that when the allies granted Frances
request for a major part of the un-
conditional payments at The Hague,
only 100000 pounds sterling re-
manned to be distributed to the other
allies, of which the British share
stead of the previously allotted
Young plan share of 80 per cent
which equalled more than 1000 900
pounds.
Britain claimed that her willing
ness to sacrifice the difference, more
than 100000 pounds, held good as
long as the French guarantee fund
was effective for the event that the
Germans might clai ma moratorium.
In view of belief that the Hoover
plan in no wise altered conditions Of
the Young plan. however, the Brit
fish consider taht there is no rea-
son why the plan should influence
the guarantee fund. which they say
was entirely formed from money
foregone by Britain and the other
allies In favor of France.

injuries in a peculiar way. Doctors
have taken X-rays of the affected
spine.
On July End, according to the his
tory of the case, the younSst2r

Markets of the world quieted
down today. The New York stock
exchange moved in a narrow rut,
while foreign bourses declined in
line with the New York drop yester-
day.
Prices of stocks on the New York
stock exchange as noon approached
were little changed from Yesterdays
close. Tickers barely moved as trad
ers held aloof pending further re-
ports on German finances.
The Berlin bourse opened lower,
dipped further and then rallied near
the close on efforts of the German
government to mobilize industry to
help bolster government finance
and rumors the reichsbank was
negotiating huge loan.
The Paris bourse closed lower
with copper shares weak. London
prices. particularly American issues,
were down following the break In
New York yesterday.
Chicago grain prices were about
steady, although September wheat
slipped off to a new seasonal low.
New York cotton futures lost
about SO cents a bale, but were hold
ing above opening levels. Liverpool,
Alexandria, Bremen and Havre cot
ton markets were lower.
Cottonseed Oil eased slightly. Su-
gar held unchanged to l point low

sisted earlier pressure.
United States Steel was driven
down more than points to 95 1-8

dustrial followed.
Particular pressure was exerted
against the utility shares, notably
those with far flung interests
abroad. American and Foreign Pow
er shot down 3 1-8 points to 80 So
and International Telephone & Tele-
graph lost nearly 2 points to 80 1-2.
american Telephone was depressed
to 17b off Ia; and Public Service
of New Jersey to 801-2 off 1l-2
points.
Unloading in j. I. Case sent that
