Progress Is Made Toward Solution of Debt Moratorium

PARIS-July 10-Progress was made in several quarters toward a satisfactory solution of the debt moratorium and it's allied question, disarmament, Secretary H en y Stimson, comforting with Premier Mussolini in Rome, heard T. Duce again promise that Italy has "ehosen the road to peace" and is ready to accept any disarmament plan 'as long as it actually reduces armaments,' Premier Mussolini told Secretary Stimson. But if I disarm the other fellow must also disarm I am ready to go to any limit Only ten thousand rifles for Italy if you like but no other na- tion in Europe must have more. Otherwise it would be like man with a stick against a man with a pistol" Both premier and secretary issued denials that Italy and the United States were seeking post ponement of the 1892 disarmament conference. Meanwhile, Germany proceeded with an attempt to raise huge foreign credit with which to refund short term loans. Hans Luther, president of the Reichs- bank, made an air trip to London, conferred with Montagu Norman, governor of the Bank of England, and other authorities, and left for Paris, arriving in the evening. It is said he seeks five hundred mil lion dollars loan. Beyond saying he will discuss things with Cover nor Moret of the Bank of France Luther would reveal nothing of his visit.

KETCHIKAN MAN DESIGNS
 ONE MAN QUARTZ MILL

The Alaska Foundry on lower Stedman street has made castings for a mill designed from a pat ent owned by Alex. Liljegren, an employe of the Northern Machine Works, reports the Ketchikan Chronicle.
 The idea carried out by the owner of the patent was to de- sign a mill which would be within the means of prospectors for taking out values from the veins as they went along and thus help them to finance development work.
 The mill will soon be set up and a test run of quartz will be made. Mining men are interested and state that it will prove a great boon in stimulating prospecting in case it comes up to expectations.
 In Southeastern Alaska it is known there are many small propositions" which do not justify the expense of extensive operations and expense and which do not in terest mining men of large means. In a few instances miners have been able to make wages" by pounding up the rock by hand. The mill, it is claimed, can be set up for a nominal cost and with the aid of water power will crush the rock and save practically every bit of gold.

METAL FORECAST FOR
 THE YEAR

VICTORIA, July-For 193 1 it seems probable that mineral production will show decline both in quantity and value. The effect of low metal prices was not fully felt until towards the close of 1880, and it is evident that the 1881 averages will be well below those of 1880.
 The rate of metal production in the last quarter of 1930 declined considerably as compared with the previous quarters, owing to the general curtailment program being practised by most producers. It is evident, therefore, that until there is a radical change in the present condition of the metal markets of the world, with less excess stocks and improved prices, no expansion in base metal mining in B. c. can be expected. Similarly, a decided improvement in the price of silver will be necessary to stimulate the mining of that metal. Gold-mining oAOW6u SOll1G Improvement III 1Ooo and it is expected that prospecting for and development of gold prop critics vii lbe actively carried on in 1881.
 Metallurgical Figures
 Th e Consolidated Mining and Smelling Co. continued it's steady expansion and in 1880 a larger program of construction was under way than in recent years. During the year the new slag-fuming plant, was completed and opera tions commenced in August. The interesting feature of this plant is that it recovers zinc formerly wasted in the lead blbast furnace slags. Eventually this plant is eX- pected to produce 100 tons of zinc day in the form of exide, which is turned into the metal Ill a spe- cial unit of the zinc refinery

A sudden gale coming up Friday afternoon, July 3, caused thousands of dollars worth of damage to traps in the Ketehikan district. Fred Nelson, watchman at the Sunny Point cannery trap at Nelson Cove, tied himself to the trap and rode out the storm with the seas dashing over him and drenching him most of the time. His boat was smashed. That night after the storm lulled, he caught a large log which was loose and drifted to the shore.

BONDS IRREGULAR !
ON LIGHT TURNOVER
Highly SeIective Trend ir
Buying Revealed, Prime
Issues In Demand.
BYE H. RICHARDSON.
cial Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 19.-The bond
market was irregular today. Trading
was not as active as on Thursday, and
price movements revealed a highly Sc
lective trend
The irregularity was a manifestation
largely of the seasonal dullness and of
the failure of trade indices to show
signs of an upward trend. The result
has been the withdrawal from the mar
ket of the speculator who aided secon-
dairy bonds to advance last week. At
the same time, however, there has been
no renewal of liquidation except in a
few isolated instances. 1t Is probable
that until stocks and business show
definite improvement the spread be-
tween high grade issues and junior In
vestmentS will widen.
Prime seasoned securities were In
demand today. This was chiefly shown
in active trading in United States Gov
ernment long-term issues at steady
prices. While the total OF these bonds
bought on the exchange averages around
81 100000 day, 1t is an indication OF
the tremendous volume of trading in
them over the counter High-grade cor
poration issues that improved under
brisk inquiry included American Tele-
phone SIS, American Smelling 81 Re-
filming SIS, American Water Works 5S,
Atchison General As, Brooklyn -Manhat-
tan Transit IS, Consolidated Gas 412s,
Great Northern Is, Norfolk g. Western
Consolidated As. Northern Pacific As and
Standard Oil of New Jersey SIS.
Sec nd-grade rails were about un-
changed except for Frisco 4l2s. West
ern Maryland As. Erie SIS, Missouri-Pa-
cific 5S and st. Louis Southwestern
bonds which were all lower. While no
definite announcement has been made,
the street understood that an agree
ment had been reached for the purchase
by Southern Pacific CT st. Louis South
western minority stock If the Interstate
Commerce Commission approves. This
assumes that bonds maturing next year
will be cared for.
Amusement issues were firm. The
reorganization plan of Shubert Thea
ters Corporation provides for the seq
regation of real estate properties into
a new company. The 6 per cent de-
benture holders will receive an equal
amount of per cent adjustment bonds
OF the realty company and 10 shares OF
stock of Shubert Theaters Corporation.
In the foreign department prices
were generally firm. German 5 l2s and
Preparations rs held their ground on
the steady improvement in mark ex-
change. Demands in Berlin for foreign
exchange are declining and dollar bills
are selling at the rate Of 4.23 to the
dollar. Brazilian bonds were firm on
reports that both New York and Lon
don bankers had reached satisfactory
agreements with the State of Sac Paulo
providing for debt service.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. June 19.-Reports are
filtering into Wall Street OF a striking
improvement in retail trade. They
come insistently from New England,
but other parts of the country tell the
same story In less degree. Locally. the
department stores have had amazing
response to their widely advertised Sc
rieS of price cuts, and some observers
go so far as to compare the consumer
demand to that appearing in holiday
time.
The brightest spot is the textile
trade, but goods are moving into buy
ers' hands in many other claSsificationS
OF course, this is done in many in
stances at sacrifice prices, as far as the
dealer Is concerned, but that is beside
the point The sales are being made
and, after the load on the shelves is
lightened, requirements can be effected
at lower prices, and SO the benefits ex-
tended all along the line.
Dearth of Speculative Media.
So far there has been no reflection
of all this in the stock market. There
are a number of reasons why, this is So
In the first place, the market is domi-
mated by a small group of professional
operators whose only profits in the last
year and half have been garnered on
the downside. They believe that still to
be the line of least resistance, and SC
far they have been correct. In the sec
ond place, there is a deaIth of specu-
lative media for rejecting retail trade
improvement, unless it be in the chain
store group AS far as the latter are
concerned, the Street keeps in mind the
Supreme Court decision in the Indiana
tax case and the widespread campaign
against chain stores which appears to
have such strong political and popular
