nounced, the Young plan. 1t eliminated
all the mechanism Of control. The
reparations commission was dissolved.
The agent general for reparations pay
ments returned home.
From then on the reparations pay
ments OF Germany were to be COM
mercialized-that Is. transferred to the
people. In May, 1880, the Young plan
was formally adopted. 1t began with
the fiotation of large bond issue in
the markets of the world. Things had
changed radically in the meantime.
Bonds could no longer be placed sue
cessfully-especially foreign bonds. Since
Germany could not borrow, she could
not pay. Suspension of payments was
imminent.
America came to the rescue. In June,
1881, President Hoover proposed a one
year moratorium on all political debts.
All nations received it enthusiastically.
France hesitated. She finally yielded,
but the damage had already been done.
Confidence was destroyed. Balances in
Germany we're withdrawn. A financial
panic in the Reich was the result. The
Danat. one Of the oldest and most sub
stantial institutions, closed its doors
The Dresdner Bank required govern
mental assistance. The stock exchanges
were forced to shut down.
In November the German govern
ment requested the Bank for Inter-
national Settlements to have an ex-
animation made of the countrys
finances by a committee of experts.
A report was rendered under date of
November %. 1t proposed, in brief a
suspension of the transfer of condi-
tional annuities and suggested con-
certed action for attaining a better
settlement of international debts.
In July, the one-year moratorium
done in the meantime. What form
such action will take it Is difficult to
state at this time.
Germany's economic situation does
not permit of the continuance of pay
ments of both political and commercial
debts. Which come ahead? Legally,
the former; but, as a matter of sound
business, every effort should be bent
to continue payments on account of
bonds and other securities of business
institutions. If default should be per-
mitted to occur in securities Of this
type Germany's credit will be i'm
paired to such an extent that, sooner
or later, even political debts will have
to be suspended.
In other words, those who insist upon
the prompt payment of both political
and commercial obligations, or upon
the unqualified priority Of reparations
over private debts, will bring about the
very situation which they do not wish
brought about-namely, the inevitable
suspension of payment in respect to
both categories of debts.

CANADIAN EXPORT

Better Prospects for Sales of

Reported.

! economies. new mining activities and
the better prospects for the Domin-
ions export wheat and -four are the
unrelated topics attracting most at
tention in the Canadian financial world
this week.
Among the more recent curbings OF
expenditure SaSkatchewan's 25 pei
cent reduction in its estimates as COM
pared with those of last year is the
most striking. Further cuts affecting
the whole country are also looked fo1
as soon as the supplementary esti-
mates are brought down in the Do
minion House.
Recent mining activity includes 9
new gold discovery in the Pascalis dis
trict Of Northwestern Quebec, which i
attracting even more prospectors than
did the early rush to Rouyn. The vari-
Gus Staffs for the locations on Great
Bear Lake have already started for the
North. a small feet Of planes having
been commissioned for the final lap of
the journey from Edmondton to the
sub-Arctic.
The output from Ontario's Is pro-
ducing gold mines reached a value OF
S3,682, 708 in January. or nearly $400,-
900 greater than in the corresponding
month of last year. The higher ton
mage handled during that month is ex-
planned by the fact that the mines are
taking advantage Of the present pre-
MUM on bullion to use their lower
grade ore. The Province of Quebec in
January produced 3l,078 ounces OF
gold.
But even more important than the
output and the prospects of the mines
Is the improved European demand for
Canadian wheat since the peak of the
shipments to Europe from Australia and
the Argentine has passed. The dwin-
ding shipments from Russia ever since
November appear to prove that the
Soviet Is eliminated from competition
in the export trade at least until the
end Of the present crop year. while that
governments difficulty in collecting
sufhcient seed wheat for the coming
Spring suggests that 1t will prove no
formidable rival even after the new
harvest.
The unfavorable reports of the con-
dlt1on OF Kansas Winter wheat appear
to predict a sharp reduction in yield in
that State. Another factor exerting a
bulltsh influence on the prospects for
Canadian sales is the marked reduction
in the usual reserves of various Euro
pean countries. This is indicated by
1taly's increasing the permitted impor-
tation OF foreign bread wheats to so per
cent and OF durum to 80 per cent, and
by the admission of France of foreign
wheat up to 20 per cent of the total

speaker said, would prohibit much of
the undesirable speculation noticeable
in the past. No firm of which any Off

LIVE STOCK PRICES
IN UNEVEN TREND
Heavy Steers Were Only
Class to Show Gain
for Week.
BY FRANK /. WELLER,
Associated Press Farm Editor

Heavy steers constituted about the
4 only live stock class to show any upturn
| for the week. after rather hectic
attempt by all categories to gain higher
ground.
These weighty offerings which made
up only a minor fraction of the steer
run, ruled active most of the time and
closed at least 25 cents higher, tut light
steers were as slow as the heavy kind
were active and, with the exception of
the closing, were at times drug on the
market. Practically all light steers fin
lshed 25 cents lower at Chicago end in
some instances sold off even more than
that.
Regardless of this two-way trend the
extreme top fell below last weeks. the
peak on weighty bullocks standing at
$3.50 while the best that statesmen could
obtain for yearlings was $825. Several
loads Of light steers and long yearlings
made SO, but comparatively little sold
above $3.50.
The extreme top on weighty steers
was $8.55 last week. During the first
week in February the top was 1856 and
the year opened with weighty bullocks
at $l0.65 and yearlings at S11 40. Hence,
it can be seen readily how much pres
sure the better grades of steers have
been under since that time. Meanwhile
common grade steers have worked con-
siderably higher than the low point of
the season. Some of these common
cattle sold off this week but the down.
turn was not general enough to warrant
calling kinds selling at SIS downward
last week much lower.
Mondays price rise in hogs at Chi
cago which carried average values to
the highest level since mid-January
was erased later and quotations at the
end of the week ranged from steady to
10 cents lower than a week ago. The
average quality was plain, particularly
in the lightweight and light light con-
tingent in which the supply of strictly
choice offerings was limited. The aver
age cost of butchers on Monday was
S4.10 which dates back to January 18
for an equal. Only once in the interim
has the average been above 81 with the
lowest cost at S3.75.
The market for slaughter sheep and
lambs responded to small receipts early
in the week but shortly became top
heavy. The present market is about
like last weeks close on all classes and
grades. Chicago packers bought choice
lambs rather freely at $3.50 but the
bulk of better grades ranged from Sc
20 Sc so.
