markets have taken on more life than
in some time. Some trade interests
say they see possibilities of higher
prices in consequence of expanding con-
sumption.
wool goods-Business in the mems
wear division has tapered OF during
the past few weeks, and quotations on
some grades Of semi-manufactured ma
terial show an easier trend, according
to sources.
Paper-Demand for fine papers con-
tinued rather small during the past
week, but some improvement In queries
for fancy novelties for the holiday trade

an improved volume Of sales at better
price levels. Some holiday ordering Of

stantial shrinkage in orders.
HideS+The market shows an under
lying firmness which it had not dis
closed for some weeks, in the opinion
of certain trade interests The i'm
provement is attributed to change tn
the attitude Of packers, most of whom
are less inclined to make concessions

State highway system will be
$1,00O,000 short of funds during
the next biennium, Henry G..
Shirley, State highway commits
sioner, has informed Governor
John Garland Pollard and his
budget advisory committee.
He said the money now avail
able will be insufficient to main
tain the normal functions of the

obligations, including 81 500, 600
in Robertson act loans, scheduled
to be retired, and overdraft OF
$1,O0O,OOO and other items.
Estimating the income Of the
department at $16,000,000 for the
first year of the next biennium,
he said that maintenance of the
primary system would cost
$5,OOO,O00, maintenance Of the
secondary system would cost
$6,000,O00; repayment of Robert
son act loans, $1,500.000; over
draft, $1,OOO,O0O: city streets,

j. 8. PREPARES.
BRITISH DEBT
SURVEY
By International News Service

BY International News Service
A special report on Great
Britain's capaity to pay its debt
to this country is being compiled
by Treasury and State Depart
ment experts in preparation for
the opening of debt conversations
with British financial experts the
end of this week.
It is hoped to have this report
completed by Thursday, when Sir
Frederick Leith-RoSs, chief finan-
cial adviser to his majesty's gov
ernment, is due to launch Brit
aims effort for drastic reduction
of it's $4,000,0O0,000 debt to the
United States.
Ability to Pay
The report is being prepared for
the use of Undersecretary of the
Treasury Dean Acheson and DR..
Drederick Livesey, assistant eco
nomic adviser to the State De-
partment.
The purpose of the report is to
enable Acheson and LiveSey to
answer arguments the British
may put forward concerning Brit
aims capacity to continue existing
debt payments. 1t will cover the
extent to which the British are
now being taxed and whether they
can stand any further tax burden.
Taxation Question
With regard to the tax situa-
tion, officials here fully expect
the British to argue it is i'm
possible for Britain to attempt
to finance continued debt pay
mentS through increased taxa
ton. Britain's incapacity to pay
on this basis, or any other basis,
is not conceded by this Govern
ment.
There was growing belief in
well-informed circles that the
British may suggest the flota-
ton of a bond issue in this
country to finance a final lump
sum settlement of the total
British debt.

2.3 per 1000 annually, as against
one per 1000 for homes, although
home mortgages more than
double the number Of farm mort
cages.

BREAK IN RAILS
UPSETS RALLY
IN STOCKS
BY LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, April 8 0.N.S0.
Renewal Of reactionary tendencies
in the rails today upset rallying
tendencies in the stock market.
The list had shown steadier
tendencies from the opening with
leaders improving a point and
more following early strength in
wheat. The heavinesS in the
rails, however, chilled speculative
enthusiasm and the list sagged.
TobaccOs Tend Higher
Tohaccos ran counter to the
trend, American tobacco leading
with rise of 2 points. This was
accompanied by reports that
cigarette consumption in Marcn
would show a further gain on top
Of increases in January and
February.
Utilities were unsettled by
weakness in North American,
which slumped to a new low fer
the year. Consolidated Gas also
showed some pressure. American
Telephone was relatively steady.
Steel was aided by the rise in
the industry's operations for the
week and forecasts that the
month would see further gains.
Other Markets Weak
Outside markets were mixed.
Delaware & Hudson was the
weak spot in the rails, Slumping
more than a point to a. new low
on the move. New York Central
also gave ground later: The
Washington conferences on rail
aid continued to have little influ-
ence.
Trading was very quiet.
