TRADE HELD BACK
BY BANK TROUBLES
Treasury Leaving No Stone
Unturned to Assist in
Reopenings.
BY CHAS. p. SHAEFFER.

Delay in complete restoration of the
banking structure of the United States
continues to hold down the indisputable
progress business has made during the
last few months.
The advance Of this period has been
without the aid normally extended by
about 5000 banks which have failed to
reopen since the banking moratorium,
involving at least $4,000, 100000 Of
assets which has been lost during that
time to credit employment.
Banking, as consequence, is more
or less disrupted, with the structure
still functioning under emergency bank
ing legislation drafted to meet the crisis
arising early in March
In the meantime, the Treasury is
leaving no stone unturned to extend aid
to closed institutions, especially those
4,000-odd State institutions whose fail
ure to function Is considered deflation-
airy influence on trade and morale In
every section of the country.
Pending enactment of further legis-
lation, 1t is believed the Treasury might
finally go beyond at least a part of the
frozen assets of these institutions into
liqu1dity. In some quarters at the
Treasury it is felt that an actual ex-
penditure along this line would prove
OF more benefit than various other plans
Of Federal expenditures.
This belief is strengthened by re-
ports OF progress In trade and indus
try from all parts of the country, even
with the presently crippled banks. 1t is
felt that Il more nearly complete func-
tioning OF banks ensued progress would
be materially hastened.

CHEESE INDUSTRY
REVIVAL REPORTED
Ohio U. Professor Attributes
Boom to Newly Developed
Culture.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, June l3.-Revived
activity is being felt in the cheese
making industry, r. B. Stoltz, profess
sor of dairy technology at Ohio State
University, reports.
Aided by newly developed bacterial
culture, the American Swiss cheese in
dustry is expanding in Ohio in answer
to an increased demand that has
brought higher prices, Stoltz says.
Despite improved methods and full
time operation Of more factories. how
ever. the supply of aged cheeses in the
State is exhausted.
The heart of the Ohio cheese-making
trade is in Tuscarawas and Holmes
Counties, in the east central portion Of
the State, where German and Swiss
immigrants settled early in the States
history. Recently six more factories
were opened to increase to IS the num-
bcr OF plants In the trade.
ALI now are working full time. Be-
fore this year the plants we're In oper-
alton only when necessary to utilize
the surplus milk not required for the
needs Of the larger cities In Northeast
ern Ohio. Now they furnish farmers
with o steady market which nets them
about 30 cents o hundred pounds Of
milk
The culture, introduced by the uni
versity's department Of dairy technol-
ogy ista gas-forming bacteria which is
mixed with the milk In the cheese
making watts and serves to produce uni
form holes or "eyes." As q result, these
cheeScs command to cents more 4
pound on the market.
That has meant an increased sales
pxtee FOR the farmers milk, raising the
value Of the total output $4,000 Q
year, Stoltz says.
Most Of the factories are cooper
atively owned by the farmers, who hire
professional cheesemakers to superin-
tend the operations. The factories use
between 100000 and 5.000,000 pounds
Of milk year.
Cheese is now bringing about q cents

|. NEW YORK, June 13.-Whether the
dollars renewed slump on the eve OF
the London Economic Conference re-
suited from New York selling Of dollars
in the British capital to cheaper our
currency and thus permit debt pay
ments on June Is, or whether 1t was
due to . deliberate move to put the
United States In better bargaining
position at the meeting, is the subject
OF considerable controversy here today.
No such disagreement, however re-
wolves around the outcome of the Lon
don parley itself Wall Street and the
business districts here generally believe
little will be accomplished. This feel
ing OF pesSimism perhaps may spur the
confereeS to greater effort. Complete
failure OF the conference, no matter
how long or short the meetings, would
be grave matter to the world.
Market professionals, taking their cue
from the conference discussions, utilized
the final hour of trading Monday to
get out of some stocks. Some. Of the
most conservative counselors and adj
visory services also suggested caution to
their clients, indicating that foreign
news for the rest of this month is not
likely to be especially cheerful.
These moves were taking place while
the public and pools were briskly bid
ding up the lower-priced inactive shares
and while certain interests found 1t
prof1tably convenient to run in a stale
short interest in certain Of the stand
ard stocks. such as American Tele-
phone.
Commentators looking at the domes-
tic scene, rather than foreign affairs,
point out that the markets soon will
lack the powerful stimulus Of news de-
velopments in Washington, for with ad-
journment Of Congress this week the
Capital is not likely to produce much
