WAR DEBTS ARE AGAIN CAUSE OF
 MUCH WORRY
Another Moratorium Does Not Seem Agreeable Much Sentiment Here Against Any Change

Washington, May 6- tUP)- Prsident Roosevelt's advisers were reported today to be urging that congress be asked to grant author ity for another world war debt moratorium.
 State department support is said in informed circles to have been won. But preliminary surveys of senate sentiment indicate stub born opposition and probable de- feat for such a program.
 Prime Minister Macdonald $ statement in London that the debt question must be settled before the end of the world economic confer ence also brought sharp reaction from members of congress. Sena- tor Robinson, repn., Ind. and some others fiatly opposed and revision. others insisted that debts should not be discussed in connection with the economic conference.
 Before the moratorium move- ment developed, President Roose- welt indicated he expected June 15 payments of $144,000,0O0 to be made on time. Congress has a. payments by permitting them to be made in silver.
 The northwest progressive dem- ocratic bloc in the senate is ready to organize a fight against any further debt concessions. Warning already has been given MT Roose- welt that he should poll his own party in congress before riskinS a humiliating defeat.

CAR LOADINGS,

Washington, May 6-UP)-Im- proved business conditions were re- fected to-day in reports of in creased car loadings which reached new heights for the year and .n some cases exceeded the loadings of 1881 and 1892.
 Loadings of revenue freight dur ing the week ending April 29 amounted to 535,676 cars, an in- crease of 42,706 cars above the pre- ceding week. This represented the smallest decrease below 1882 fig ures that has been recorded by the American Railway association. Loadings were 1s,521 cars below the week ending April 29, 1882, a decrease of only 3.3 per cent.
 Miscellaneous freight loadings, stimulated by beer shipments, in- creased 21,052 cars above the week ending April e2, and 6,573 above the week ending April 29. 1892. It was the first time the association had reported a car loading increase this year above corresponding 1882 figures.
 Loadihgs of live stock and grain and grain products rose sharply, es- pecialiy in the western districts, where April 29 figure represented increases above the corresponding week in 1932.
 Loadings of merchandise in less than carload lots amounted to 162,s11. an increase of 1887 cars above the preceding week. Load ings of grain and grain products totaled 41,514 cars. 6.7S1 cars above the corresponding week in 1892 and 4,5S9 cars above the same week in 1881.

The Trial of
 Eleanor Saddler
No Definite Date Yet Fixed
 for the Hearing

Possibility of putting to trial Eleanor Saddler, local negress who stands indicted in second degree murder, remained out of the ques- tion as far as next week is con- cerned, when Attorney w. w. Gager, counsel for the accused to- day stated the press of civil mat ters in superior court will post pone the trial at least a week.
 There is a chance that Judge Ernest c. Simpson who is assigned to the Litchfield superior court during this term, might have an opportunity to come to Waterbury for the trial because under his as- signment he is supposed when at liberty. to assist the local presiding judge, John Richards Booth.
 The case was originally assigned for trial next Tuesday morning at 10 o'clock but in looking over the assignment list for next week, Judge Booth found that there are several civil cases especially as- signed for trial, having been placed several weeks ago.
 Unless the especially assigned cases are unexpectedly settled or are withdrawn, the case will not be tried before Judge Booth next week. If Judge Simpson should came to Waterbury it would mean the impanelling of more veniremen en than are now engaged in the To- cal court.

NEW YORK CITY BANK DEPOSITS
 UP sSo5, ,ooo, 900 IN SIX WEEKS
Financial Executive Expresses Opinion That lnsttu- tions Will Adjust Affairs To Meet Changing Conditions.

government bonds Opponents of the measure go on to relate how open market buying of government bonds by Federal Reserve banks will increase the reserves of mem Der banks while the urge on the part of the public to place their de- Hated dollars to better advantage will tend to deplete bank deposits.
 "Adherents of the bill. on the other hand. stoutly contend that the highly liquid conditions of New York city banks place them in a strategic position to immediately share in the expected revival of business. Earning power. they tell us, will be greatly stimulated by an increased volume of loans and rise in interest rates. Rising se- curity markets will augment the release of contingency accounts and strengthen the collateral loans whose liquidation the banks have been forced to postpone due to con tinued adverse market conditions. Anticipating the growing sentiment for imitation, it is quite likely that the banks have already sold certain of their bonds and either directly or through affiliates increased their holdings of selected common stocks"

Business in the
 Police Court
Al Watt Fined $2O and
 Costs on Two Counts

Market Had Largest Weeks Business In
 More Than 3 Years
Break Came To-day in Late Trading Because of Sud- den Decline in Foreign Exchange Selling Orders Came in PrOfusiOn

fusion as traders sought to take profits.
 Sales for the day crossed tho million share mark, bringing the weeks total to more than 25,000.- 900 shares, the largest week in more than 3 years.
 At the outset a break in the dollar to a new low since specie payments were resumed in 1879 provided impetus for a rise in stocks. The sudden upturn damp ened speculative ardor in all mar kets. The pound touched $4.05 in the early dealings and then drop ped below SAG while the French franc broke more than 10 points from it's high of AIS cents.
 Declines in stocks ranged to points from the previous close. Steel Common dipped to around 47 against a previous close of 4S 3-S. Steel Preferred lost more than points.
 American Telephone fell back to- ward par after crossing 103. Amer ican Can was down more than points. Utilities were depressed with Consolidated Gas which lost more than a point.
 Railroad issues joined the de- cline in the face of the best car loading report for the year. Losses in the group ranged to more than 2 points.
 Carloading for the week ended April 29 totaled 535,676 cars, an increase of 42,706 cars over the preceding week and off only 1S,52l from the corresponding week of 1882 or only 3.3 per cent. A week ago the drop from 1892 was 12.3 per cent. This weeks was the smallest recession from 1882 of any week of the year. Miscellan- eous freight, the barometer of business showed gain of 21s052 cars. All other branches gained and all but less than car lots, coal and forest products were above the 1882 totals for the corresponding week
 Wheat and cotton declined.
 Rumors were circulated freely in the financial district that France would abandon the gold standard over the week end. The late selling spent itself be- fore the close and some recovery from the lows was noted. Mean while bonds turned upward with the exception of foreign issues. French loans declined on the re- ports of France about to abandon gold.
 Business reports. in addition to the car loadings, were highly fav- | orable. Steel operations at Youngs- l town will be at 37 per cent of ca
 pacity in the coming week. com pared with this weeks rate of a
 per cent. The rate for the whole country is expected to move up with Youngstown.
 Steel scrap prices hardened fur ther as talk of a shortage of the commodity spread.

 STILL LOWER IN
 LONDON MARKET

London, May 6.-(UP)-The dol lar sank to a new low today since Britain abandoned the gold stand- ard in 1881, with the pound rising to $4.05 1-2 cents at the close. The pound opened at S3.99, up one cent, and rose steadily through the days trading.
 Although early in the day the dollars weakness was attributed primarily to speculate operations by continental traders, as it con- tinued to sink observers believed that the prospects for American in- fiation had routed the Bank of England's equalization fund"
 Neville Chamberlain, chancellor of the exchequer, won parliament tary approval earlier in the week to more than double the fund, rais- ing it to 35O,0O0,000 pounds-$1,- 419,250,000 at today's close. He hoped, 1t was generally understood, that the mere psychological effect of the increase would be sufficient to keep the dollar from dropping seriously, but today's market made it clear that his hope was unjusti- fed

New York, May 6-While there is still considerable conflicting opinion as to what effect imitation will have on the larger banks of the country, w. c. Giddings, finan- cial expert, expresses the belief that "the indispensable nature of their business and their astute arrangements can be expected, as always, to see them safely through existing conditions. "In an ex- tremely difficult first quarter. az gravated by the long duration of the bank holiday" he points out, "the majority of the New York city banks not only maintained their strong liquid positions, but report ed operating earnings well in ex- cess of dividend requirements. An added measure of encouragement is found in the fact that during the past six weeks net deposits of the New York Clearing House as- sociation member banks recorded an increase of over $805, 100000.
