DEBTS DRIVEN
To BACKGROUND
Macdonald Loses Biggest
Weapon for Economic
Farley Trading.
BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS
Scripps- Howard Foreign Editor

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-The
war debt issue has been driven in
to the background by President
Roosevelt's dramatic stroke effec-
lively removing the United States
from the gold standard.
BY the same token. automatically
speaking, British Prime Minister
Ramsay Macdonald, now en- route
to Washington, has suffered the loss
of most of his baggage in mid-At-
lantic.
When he sailed for this country
last Saturday aboard the Beren-
garia, Premier MacDonald's lug
gage was stuffed with bargaining
points for use in securing drastic
war debt revision for Europe.
The dollars disparity with the
pound; Britain's world trade adj
vantage due to deprecated sterling,
and Americas desire to have Britain
return to the gold standard, were
among them.
When he arrives here Friday night
he will meet President Roosevelt
on an equal footing. Macdonald
will discover that it will he just as

Payments to date have been slow

Unless the payments increase be-

TICKERS RUN BEHIND
Large Blocks Moved in
Morning Rush: Many

BY ELMER c. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April 90
Stocks leaped l to 9 points to-
day in the most active trading
since Nov. Is, 1929. Part of
the gains was lost, but the list
around noon held advances
ranging to 5 points.
Ticker service was demoralized in
the fashion that prevailed when the
old slow-speed tickers ran hours be-
hind back in 1929. In the first two
hours of dealing. the tape lost more
than a, half hour.
Quotations were abbreviated, and
all but sales of 5000 shares or more
dropped from the tape. Bond
tickers printed quotations on lead
ing issues every five minutes to keep
traders informed of the floor prices.
The exchange quotation system of
providing quotes by telephone from
the floor was strained.
Open With Push
Specialists were so busy executing
orders that they we're unable to give
combinations on early dealings.
Thousands of orders executed at the
opening we're not confirmed by
noon.
International Nickel opened 10000
shares at Is up 39s and new high

General Motors opened $4,000
shares at 1914 up 27s and a new 1888

United States Steel common
opened at 40 up 2 points on a block

ALL FUTURES BOOMING
Spectacular Climbs Made

CHICAGO, April 20. =
Wheat scared more than 8
cents a bushel on the Board
of Trade today in response to
lnflatiOnary tendencies. May
wheat opened at 6814 cents a
bushel, up 318 cents; July, SO,
up 278, and September, II,
up 35s.
All prices were new highs on the
wheat crop. The advance in other
grains equally was spectacular. Corn
rose by margins of from Us to 312
cents, with the September future
opening at 40 to Al cents.
On the basis of minimum gains,
the advance in wheat and corn
prices added approximately S27,-
100000 to the value of grain held on
the farms.
Provisions Join Upturn
Farmers were potentially $780,
900 richer on the 178,O00,00O bushels
of wheat in their bins and S22,-
$4,000 ahead on their 1,126,000, 900
bushels of corn in cribs
Oats, rye and barley also achieved
spectacular gains.
Oats were IA to Us cents higher;
rye was up to 31s cents, and bar
ley was IA to rs cents higher.
The advance, spurred by aban-
donment of the gold standard and
in accord with the booming stock
market, began where the market left
off after yesterdays sharp upturn.
Provisions joined in the upturn,
with meats up to 10 to IL points and
lard so to rs points higher.
Not since the hectic session of
October, 1929, when the markets of
the country broke with the stock
market crash, had there been such
a stormy session in the Chicago
grain pits, With that exception, it
was the most drastic change since
war times.
Trading Records Loom
All recent records for volume of
trading were threatened.
Other markets doomed. Wheat was
up 5 to cents at Minneapolis.
September wheat at 70 cents at
Chicago was the highest, with one
exception in October, 1881, since
May, 1881
May corn was the only future in
any grain which failed to open at
new high for the crop on the Chi
cago market.

A revolutionary plan, which will
change completely state highway
department procedure and result in
employment for between $4,000 and
$4,000 men, was announced today
by Chairman James D. Adams. The
previous maximum employment has
been 5000 men during the peak of
road work
1t entails vast curtailment of
new construction" projects which
called for laying of high type pave
ments.
The plan, Adams said, will result
in expenditure of several millions
on building up secondary roads,
widening rights way, building
barns and construction of second
airy road types.
Adams pointed out that the plan
doesn't mean field day for the So
called black-top paving interests.

Despite the plan to use this
handling of the dollar as a weapon
at coming international conferences.
administration spokesman made
clear their chief interest lies in rails
ing prices at home, creating a ris-
ing and buying market and restora-
ton of manufacturing and pur-
chasing power.
The twelve governors of federal
reserve banks, in conference with
Secretry Will H. Woodin, reported
that business conditions showed
some improvement, and that de-
mands for commercial and indus
trial credit are beginning to show
themselves for the first time in
months.
With prices rising, it is hoped
the public will begin to buy. man
ufacturers to place orders. and
bankers to extend credit wherever it
is needed
Woodin's principal reason for
calling in the reserve governors, he
said, was to impress on them the
necessity for bringing frozen as
sets totaling from $4,00O,000,000 to
$7000,000,000 back into the buying
market, through speeding up the
reopening of closed banks.
The decision to abandon the dol
lar to its fate abroad closely is
linked with rehabilitation of COM
modify prices at home.
The very threat of initiation. it is
believed, will induce buyers, pro-
ducers and lenders to spend, pro-
duce and lend, while all three
processes are more certain to bring
profits.
Future strategy depends on the
results of the economic conferences
to start in a few days between
President Roosevelt and European
including Prime Minis
ter Macdonald of Great Britain and
ex-Premier Edouard Herriot OF
France.
If, as the administration hopes,
they agree to some form of ex-
change sterilization, the battle will
have been won, and it will be a
question of where the various ex-
changes will be pegged with respect
to gold.
Then will come the question of

IN BALTIMORE AREA
Employment Situation Is Better
According to Reports From
Several Plants.
BY the Associated Press.

BALTIMORE, May 24-Increases in
the steel industry in Baltimore were in
dicated today In the reports from steel
mills and shippers of Baltimore.
S. j. Cort, general manager of the
Eparrows Point plant of the Bethlehem
Steel Co., said there has been a pick
up of 80 to 40 per cent in the general
operations of the plant in the last two
months.
Cort declined to estimate the gain in
employment made necessary through
the increase in steel manufacturing
operations, but said many employees,
who formerly had been working only
one and two days week, now were put
ting in three, four and five days
Officials of three scrap iron and steel
plants here announced 500 men are
being employed in scrapping operations,
whereas year ago all three plants
were shut down. The domestic mills
were operating in March at IL per cent
OF capacity as against their current
rate Of 10 per cent.
Morris Shapiro of the Boston Iron
and Metal Co. said scrap prices had
jumped from $6 to 50 in the last few
months and quotations on scrap metal
of all kinds had increased approxi-
mately 40 per cent since March. The
company's two plants here employ 800
men.
The steamer West Arrow was sched-
uled to leave the company's docks for
Rotterdam today with $500 tons of
