STOCKS ARE FIRM
AT SHORT SESSION
Price Changes Hold In Mar.
row Range as Selling
Subsidies.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 1e.-Prices held
fairly steady in the week end stock
market. Changes were mostly frac-
tional and trading was very slow, but
there was an absence of liquidation and
the market held on an even keel
Probably the reaSsuring statement Of
President Hoover with regard to the
railway situation was one reason for
the relatively firm tone. At any rate,
the railway shares were better sup
ported today than the industrials. The
sharp break in wheat and the unset
Element IN that market seemed to have
no effect or stocks. The latest devel-
opments in the tax legislation at WASH
ington were followed closely, but they,
too. we're not market factor.
Perhaps the raost Interesting Incl
dent was the flood Of selling in Kreu.
ger g. Toll, which carried that stock
down to another low. The turnover In
this stock accounted for a large pro-
portion of the transactions, but be-
cause of the low price did not involve
any great amount of money. The sell.
ing was doubtless inspired by the
Stockholm report that the company
had requested all foreign exchanges tc
discontinue dealings in its securities
No official notice to that effect hac
been received by the New York STOCK
Exchange up TO the close today
Beside the Presidents statement with
regard to the railways, the carrier
shares were helped by further evidence
that the wage cut and other measures
to reduce expenses were converting de-
creases in gross into increases In net
The New York, Chicago & ST. Louis in
its February report today gave net op-
Grating income as $216,950 against
$15,480 in February, 1890, and this
while gross had dropped from $2,9I3,-
873 to $2,542,024. This Is the same
trend as revealed in the Chesapeake &
Ohio and Illinois Central reports.
Standard induStrials fluctuated with
in an extremely narrow range. Prob
ably the declines predominated, but
they were so small as to be of no sig.
f1cance. There was evidence of liqui-
dation in some preferred stocks. fol
United States Steel preferred and Beth
lehem Steel preferred made new lows.
Public utilities made a better showing
than yesterday, although unable ia
rally to any great extent Electric
Power & Light preferred went to a new
low, but the common was little changed

GERMANY'S CREDIT PROBLEMS
ARE PRESSING FOR SOLUTION
Prospective Reelection of Hindenburg Is
Looked U pom as Acquiring Well for
Public Economy Program.

German state loans and the interest on
a large number of German municipali-
ties, on the bonds of the state agricul-
tural banks and mortgage institutions,
as well as on the issues of the leading
German public utilities and industrial
corporations.
Quite a high proportion Of the total
interest payments falls due April J..
1t is understood funds to meet these
have been accommodating in New York
and that it is reasonable to expect all
of these current obligations will be
met. Normally the moneys to cover the
German government loan are RENTED
over a considerable period prior to pay
day and are held by the paying agents
well in advance of their disbursement.
The problem of the debtor governments
or corporations will be more acute in
connection with payments due in May
and June, since the supply OF exchange
is dwindling and the position OF the
Reichsbank is not greatly improving.
In addition to these public dollar
loans there are credits of private ma
ture negotiated in 1880 by American
bankers in connection with French as
sociates. 1t is understood portion OF
these credits natures in the next three
months, although the larger amount
considerable interest in banking circles
as to the position of this credit, which
is for a respectable amount and Is
rather closely held.
Critical Period Ahead.
Altogether, the next three months
promise to be the critical period In the
German financial situation. If Ger
many is able to meet her obligations
up to July l on her dollar loans and
credits, it is a fair guess she will, by
that time, have secured terms from her
creditors that will give her sufficient
period in which to recover and to es-
tablish her ability to meet interest and,
probably sinking funds on her external
loans. The period is also critical one
for other countries in Central and
Southeastern Europe on which pressure
has been intense for nearly a year,
compelling Bulgaria this week to an
nounce her possible inability to meet
interest on her American loans.

U. S. EXPORTS 81, 900, 600
OF FURS TO GERMANY

BY the Associated Press.
American furs and skins, chiefly IN
dressed, exported to Germany in 1881
amounted to well over 100000,
fragmentary report by the Commerce
Department, said, recording decline Of
of about 1917 per cent as compared with
the previous year. This drop was ap-
preciably less than suffered in other
important American export items, the
report said.
Opossum and muskrat continued to be
the staple articles in this trade, while
skunk diminished greatly in relative i'm
portance when compared with the years
prior to 1923.
Mink, on account of its much higher
price, which is many times that for
opossum and muSkrat, was taken in
comparatively moderate quantities, as
was also otter.

Canned Fruit Price Cuts.

NEW YORK, March 10 R.-The
California Packing Co. appears to have
taken the canned fruit market some
what by surprise with its announce
ment OF price reductions on its principal
lines. Price revisions were looked for
around Marcn l, according to interests
in the trade, but the sending out of
new list last week led the trade to be-
lieve that the company intended to
maintain the old price schedule.

The State Roads Commission
has received a bid from the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company on the proposed paving
of it's tracks through Mt. Rainier,
E. G. Duncan, district engineer
of the commission, announced at

more next Wednesday. He ex-
planned that the project involves
removing the traction company's
poles through Mt. Rainier and
widening Rhode Island Avenue

The commission last week de-
cided to spend $4,000 to pave
Rhode Island Avenue through Mt.
Rainier, and abolish the death
trap" where Joseph Sisk, Balti-
more reporter, was fatally injured
in an automobile accident several
weeks ago.

SHARES IN
PROJECT
Plan ContempIates Financing
BY Presentation of Bene-
fit Entertainments

A $4,000 community center
financed by public subscription
and b en- efit entertainments
was proposed last night at a
meeting of the mayor and town
council of Cclmar Manor.
Councilmen Lewis Carter and
George Cox, appointed as a spe.
cial committee to submit plans,
said they believed the center
could be built on the proceeds
of benefits.
Their plan calls for the town
to buy a lot and form a corpora
ton owning the building.
The town will not be required
to expend any money and holders
of stock in the corporation will
no. be required to pay for their
shares unless insufficient funds
are obtained from the proceeds
of benefits to pay building costs,
Carter and Cox explained.
They said they had arranged
with furnishers of material to
take the notes of the corpora.
ton for sums due them, payable
monthly. Holders of the shares
would guarantee payment of
these installments under the
plan submitted.
When the building is entirely
paid for, the town would be
given the option of repaying
shareholders for any sums they
might have been called on to
pay, and taking over the Com
munity Center as a town build
ing.
The plan contemplates that all
labor on y building be fur
nished from the ranks of the
unemployed or donated. Th e
committee report will be for
