tivity in the coarse yarns cloths mar

volume of sales than on the quiet days

Store in Week-TotaI Now
s4,128,OO0,0O0.

Continued increase in the monetary
gold stock of the Nation was shown to-
day in the weekly statement of the
Federal Reserve Board. 1t said the
total held on September IA was S4,l28.-

since the low point reached last June
16. The total, however, is 1887 900, 900
less than the amount held year ago.
The return flow of gold was seen as
indicating an increase OF confidence in
American markets.
Another favorable factor was noted in
a decrease In money in circulation. This
item declined $57,000,000 to 1858, ,000,-
900, indicating that more money is be-
ing spent and finding its way back into
the Treasury from hiding places. The
amount still is, however. $58l 600, 900
more than was in circulation a year
ago.
The board reported that total Reserve

ceding week. but an increase OF ST.
040 ,000,0 900 as compared with the same

Favorable indications were seen in an
increase of loans made by New York
Federal Reserve member banks to
brokers. The total of such loans on
September IA. was S433 900, 900. an in
crease of s62, 900 600 as compared to

s REVISE
AMORTIZATION

Officials of Loew's Incorporated
yesterday stated that a we'll
known firm of auditors has been
called in to assist the company's
own firm of auditors in working
out a new and more drastic scale
of film amortization, thus con-
firming exclusive disclosure in
the New York American earlier
this week.
An official declared that in no
sense was this a private audit,
and stated flatly that this was
not being done at the request OF
the company's bankers.
Changes in the rate Of amor
tizing films have been necessary
from time to time in recent years,
due to changes in the industry
which affect the average earning
life of films.
Due to the current depressed
conditions in the theater business
this year, the company deemed
it advisable to modify Loew'S
rate of film write-downs in line
with the present rate of film in
come. Changes of this sort have
already been made in the film
amortization rate Of Paramount,
Warner Brothers and Fox Film
Corporation.
On this account, completion Of
Loew's annual report has been
delayed, but it probably will be
sent to stockholders within the
next two weeks.

COTTONFUTURE
TRADE DECLINE
EXTENDED

NEW YORK, Nov. 10 dNsJ.
The decline in cotton futures
which got under way near the
close yesterday was extended in
today's abbreviated session, with
losses averaging in excess Of so
cents a bale.
Liquidation Of December and
some increase in Southern and
hedge selling was chiefly reSponsi.
BILE for today's break. The Jap
anese, as was the case Friday,
were about the only buyers giving
cotton consistent support. Liver
pool and spot firms also sold,
while commission houses and the
trade bought on a small scale.
There was trade buying on the
scale down.
Close Off Slightly
The market sold off to 8
points on the first call, with
Liverpool closing bids one to two
points below due prices. Later
these losses were extended as con-

by the fact that some Wall Street
firms who had been advocating
purchases were advising clients
to exercise caution toward the
market pending a clearing up Of
the international debt situation,
which was regarded as over.
Shadowing all other factors.
Exports Lower
The statistical position was less
favorable, exports dropping below
the 100000 bales margin over
last year for the first time in a
considerable period. Mill forward.

supply were of fair proportions.
