Miscellaneous Loans Hit.

Third. The board of directors of the
Reconstruction Corporation inform me
unanimously that miscellaneous loans
under this provision are totally imprac-
ticaole and unworkable. It would be
necessary to set up huge bureaucracy,
to establish branches In every county
and town In the United States. The
task of organization, of finding COM
petent personnel, would not be a matter
Of months, but of years. Hundreds of
thousands of applications, representing
every diversity Of business and interest
in the country, would Immediately flood
the board, all of which must be passed
upon by seven men. The directors
would be dependent upon the ability
and integrity Of local committees and
branch managers. Every political pres
sure would be assembled for particular
persons. It would be within the power
of these agencies to dictate the welfare
of millions of people, to discriminate
between competitive business at WILL
and to deal favor and disaster amongst
them. If it be contended that these
hundreds of thousands of miscellaneous
loans will be used to increase employ
ment, then an additional bureaucracy
for espionage must follow up each case
and assure that these funds be used for
such purpose.
Fourth. The sole limitation under
the bill is that loans shall be secured
and that the borrowers shall not have
been able to obtain loans from private
institutions upon acceptable terms.
This at once throws upon the corpora
ton all the doubtful loans in the United
States. It would result in every f1nan-
cial institution calling upon their Gus

GOLD WITHDRAWAL
MAY AID MARKETS
Pay-off of French Balances
Puts U. S. Credit In
Stronger Position.
BY CHAs. P. SHAEFFER,

Associated Press Business Writer.
Indications are that Withdrawals OF
the French gold balances might prove
the very tonic needed by security mar
kets in this country.
These Withdrawals have placed the
banks, particularly the largest ones. in
position to extend new credit lines. In
dustry is held by these institutions not
to be conducive to investment of funds
at the present time, leaving the bond
market as virtually the only outlet.
Lending weight to this reasoning is that
the range Of 40 domestic bond issues
stands at 56.23, as compared with low
of 5194 on May 81, just prior to the
last withdrawal of gold by France.
The open market policy of the Federal
Reserve Board also enters into the equa-
ton, its practice of buying Government
securities creating an excess balance of
reserves in the portfolios Of member in
stitutionS.
1t is pointed out in Government cir
cles that stronger bond market might
forecast impetus to other securities. but
that as bond buying increases prices rise
and the yield on the investment de-
clines. While it was said the margin
yields is still large. the movement, If
continued, eventually would result in
many investors, no longer guided by
fear, seeking the more attractive returns
offered by stocks and gradually re-
entering the preferred field Of this
security. 1t was said, however, that
such a switch was not imminent on
the basis of present indicators.
Impairment Of Americas gold stocks
is no longer a menace to the domestic
banking situation since repatriation Of
the French metal. The outflow to
France was regarded as desirable. as 1t
was attracted here by high interest
rates during a boom period, with bank
ing authorities regarding it as an ele-
ment of unsettlement and danger while
it remained There still remains a sub
stantial total of other foreign gold, but
it is understood this is to large extent
working balances demanded by trade.

NEW YORK, July 9-"Selective
liquidation forced prices for the stocks
affected to new low ground today.
The selling was heaviest in Coca
Cola, American Telephone, Peoples
Gas. and Union Pacific. Some of ii
must have been for short account, but
it was helped along by more Or less
liquidation Of real stock All of the
issues named made new bear market
lows, but it will be noted that all OF
them sell at relatively high prices COM
pared with the rest of the market EX-
cluding Homestake Mining. which is
not actually ar active stock, mere is
no active common stock now selling
above $50 a snare, only two above SO
a share, only one around $50, and very
few at or above $50
In the railway group Norfolk &
Western sells at $50 and is the highest
priced issue in that part of the list
Delaware & Hudson ranks next a little
above $50 a share, and Union Pacific
is the only one above $25 share. This
analysis excludes, of course, all pre-
ferred issues. 1t is obvious, then, that
opportunities for profit on the short
side are restricted unless one takes a
few stocks still quoted in these "higher"
brackets.
There were no new reasons for the
offerings in any of these issues. Coca
Cola has the new government tax to alb
sorb or pass along and the prospect of
legalized beer as a competitor, both of
which points were stressed by the
shorts. The next telephone statement
is expected to be unfavorable. Peoples
Gas was evidently being liquidated by
holders forced to raise cash, and Union
Pacific was sold in anticipation of
another cut in the dividend.
Among the few stocks that offered
good resistance were the packing
shares, including the Armour issues and
Cudahy; j. I. Case, which held firmly
all through the reaction, and the motor
stocks. The cut in the Nash dividend
had been discounted marketwise. Gen
eral Motors was undisturbed by the
June sales statement, although the pre-
ferred stock made new low. The local
fractions we're higher and there was no
weakness in the oils.
1t is believed there has been consid-
cradle short selling Of preferreds. Un-
doubtedly that has been the case with
United States Steel preferred and prob
ably with General Motors preferred.
AtchiSon preferred has gone down with
the common and has been outstand-
ingly weak. 1t lost another point today
and made a new low. On the other
hand the Electric Light & Power senior
stocks have been finding better sup
port This is especially true of Con-
solidated Gas preferred and of the
various public service Of New Jersey
preferred issues.
