Along water street, which fronts the river here. warehouses were inundated. Employees Of large grain and flour company worked through the night moving perish able goods to higher levels.

Funding Issue Can Still Be Sold Is
 City Hall Belief
SS00,O0O Issue Was Authorized Last Saturday By
 Aldermen-Interest Rate May Vary But Maxi-
 mum Is Set at 5H % - Expect to Open Bids s Next Tuesday

The sale of municipal bonds will not be affected to any great extent by the governments de- parture from the gold standard, according to the opinions of finau- ciers of the city. The question arose to-day as to what bearing the governmental action would have on the sale of the million dollar issue of funding bonds, au- thorization for which was granted by the board of aldermen at 2 special meeting last Saturday.
 The concensus is that the only effect would be in the rate of in- terest the city would have to pay. The maximum rate is five and one half per cent for municipal bonds but usually a better buy Is realized because municipal bonds are more easily disposed of in the bond market due to their freedom from income tax charges
 The actual sale of the bonds, however, should not be materially affected. The board of aldermen will meet Tuesday evening of next week, as per the date set by the last meeting. and the bids for the sale of the bonds will be opened at that time. An inkling of the effect of the governments depart ure from the gold standard should be made known at that time.

New York, April 21-(UP)- Stocks followed grains down to-day when dollar made good recovery in terms of the pound sterling and other European curerncies.
 The crash in the pound sterling from an opening of $3.90 1-2 to $3,74 3-4 brought heavy selling into wheat and that grain dropped 1 3-8 to l 5-8 cents on the day. Other grains made corresponding losses. Silver broke the limit of 300 points. Commodities general were lower.
 The rapid upturn in the dollar was a technical reaction from all oversold condition. It was discoh- certing to those who had antici- pated wild infiationary demonstra- tions, and it may have been engi- neered by the English through their equalization fund, although that could not be confirmed.
 Selling was spradic throughout the day in the industrial division. Utilities were hard hit after their sharp rise yesterday. Railroads were a sensation at the opening, soaring to new highs for the year on blocks of 1000 to 25,00D shares. Gold mining issues furnished a feature in the afternoon by advanc- ing to new highs for the year. Avia- ton issues had period of strength.
 The most consistent unloading occurred in the utilities. Consilida- ted Gas was dumped on the market on fears over 6 dividend reduction when directors. meet next week. Gas crashed more than points.

MACDONALD AND HIS PARTY HAVE
 LANDED HERE
All Plans of Great Britain Have Been Crashed By Roosevelt Gold Stand-' ard Program
BY JOSEPH A. BAIRD United Press Staff COrrespOndent)

New York, April 2l. - (CP)- J. Ramsay Macdonald and an array of financial and economic experts steamed into American waters today to face as puzzling and confused situation as ever met a party of diplomatic negotia- tors in a foreign land.
 The liner Berengaria, bearing the British prime minister, his daughter. Miss Ishbel. and his ex- perts. arrived at quarantine this morning.
 Ignoring New York city ex- cept for the skyline - the Mac Donold party after receiving the greetings of city welcomers, state department representatives and British Ambassador Sir Ronald Lindsay speeded through New York harbor on the city tug There a special train took the visitors to Washington.
 When Macdonald left London, he foresaw a series of informal conferences with President Roose- the gold standard with dollar at par ONcI >OA ditions and the British debt. He looked forward, it was reliably re- ported from London, to proposals that if Britain would return to the gold standard - with due advan- tages gained from it's depreciated currency - America would make great concessions regarding the British debt. possibly ,canceliing tt altogether.
 He arrived to find the confer. ence schedule unchanged, but all other factors vastly altered. For Americas dollar was worth about 86 cents, measured in terms of it's value in relation to British cur rency a week ago. Britain's con- sidered policy of maintaining tine pound at a degree of q, preciation >i nrelation to the dollar which would maintain great trade ad- vantages was blasted at least for the time being. by President Roosevelt's action in taking Amer ica off the gold standard.
 What Macdonald thought about the tremendous changes that had occurred while he was at sea was a diplomatic secret. His secretarv. speaking for him by ship-to-shors telephone yesterday. told the United Press that the conditions of his conferences would be a!- tered considerably. But that was as far as the spokesman, would go.

stood on the quarter deck of the welcoming tug Macon, which took him to Jersey City to board his special train for Washington.
 The Prime Ministers declaration indicating the increasing import ance of the coming White House conferences in the light of imitation, was made when he was bluntly asked whether abandonment of the gold standard came as a surprise ora disappointment" to him.
 "Oh, gracious, no." he responded with some vigor.
 will 1t have any effect upon your mission?" he was asked.
 "So far as I am concerned,' he answered gravely, not at all. It only brings out into higher light the stress of the whole world. That is what your president and myself have got to face"
 The depression will never be ended, MT Macdonald insisted if America and Great Britain are op- posed to each other. "Co-operation is essential" he reiterated.
 Expressing his great pleasure to be on American soil once more" " the British statesman gravely spoke of his concern for the masses of workers in the United States and throughout the world.
 Your farmers and your work ing people who are accustomed to earning their own living. and not to pick it up," he said, 'are in grave distress. They are entitled to economic justice"
 He stabbed hard at any sugees- ton of retaliatory moves against the United States and the possI- bility of a currency war between America and England, when he used the following phrase:
 Policies of retaliation would he folly. Policies of reason. co-spera- ton and wisdom are desira ble."
 "Your president" he coptlnued. "in inviting me said in almost these words. Come. let us reason together'-and I have come.'

Pointing to the provision of the
bill which would require that the
Governor shall name each member

persons selected by the State po-
litical committee of the two major
parties, Mr. dupont said that this
met with a three to two vote
among the members of the Com
mission of which he is chairman.
He termed it unwise to mix politics
with the matter of liquor control.
The success of liquor control, he
pointed out, is a matter largely de-
pendent on the people, and not
with the Commission or the Gov
ernor. He said State education
and reasonable laws would help in
this direction. Mr.. DUPONT said
that an important point in protec-

the choosing of persons to serve on
the Commission who will go about
