NEW YORK, December 15.-Com-
pletion oficially today or the United
States Treasury quarterly financing
directs attention to the important
role played by Government financing
national and local, in American mar
kets this year.
Securities publicly offered-bonds
notes and shares-by corporations in
the first IL months of this year took
only Ills cents out of every financing
dollar. The Treasury in the same
period took about IT'S cents out OF
every financing dollar, which con-
trasts with 879 cents in the like 1898
period. All types of Government
financing-farm loan, home loan
other governmental agencies. States
cities and communities-took 887
cents of every financing dollar, as
against s2.2 in the FIRST IL months
of 1898.
The United States Treasury In the
first II months Of this year floated
s10,345 ,561, TOO in various types OF
issues, along with s2,0l8,360, ,o55 non
Treasury financing. Non-Treasury
financing included $703,411,l00 for
farm loan and other governmental
agencies and s6o3, 3,552.510 for States
and municipalities. The latter figure
does not include funds obtained by
States or smaller units from any
agency Of the Federal Government.
Therefore. corporate and foreign gov
eminent financing amounted to only
SSH ,396,44 as against Treasury
financing Of $10.345,56 TOO and
other types Of government financing
Of sl,506 ,963,610.
The foreign government financing
publicly offered does not include the
Dominion Of Canada one-year notes
taken by group Of big American
banks. The corporate financing does
not include about eight large issues
purchased by a few large institutions.

These omissions, however, do not

NEW YORK, December 15.-For
important cues on political probabili-
ties, the financial district continues to
wait for President Roosevelt's next
''fireside" chat.
Some financial quarters think the
President may have significant things
to say to the country before Congress
convenes. Meanwhile, a congressional
forecast by Raymond Moley, member
Of the Presidents original brain
trust" in the current issue Of the
magazine Today has been widely
quoted in Wall Street.
Moley asserts the administration
probably will continue to have its way
with Congress, that proposals for
establishing a central bank will be de-
feated, that only a weak compromise
bonus measure is likely to pass and
that President Roosevelt probably will
be able to keep infationists from run
ming out Of bounds with monetary
legislation.

SHARP GAIN seen
AT TEXTILE MILLS
Rise in October and November
Leaves Activities Above
Levels of Year Ago.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 15.-"Tex-
tile mill activity during the first
10 months of 1884 was approxi-
mately 19 per cent below the similar
period Of 1888, and Is per cent below
the first nine months Of the average
year in the 1924-193l period, roughly
assumed as normal" Textile World
reports In its December issue.
"As We predicted last month, Octo-
Der figures reflected a sharp pickup.
We estimated that activity for that
month would approximate that for
October last year; final statistics
showed only a per cent difference,
in favor of October, 1898. Although
further figures are not available at
this writing, we would estimate No.
vember activity as slightly ahead of
October, and 10 per cent ahead Of
November, 1888.
From an employment standpoint
November was good month In tex
tiles. The snapback from the strike
paralysis of September continued at q
satisfactory rate. Mill activity was at
good level for November.
Unfortunately, from the price
standpoint there were some woefully
weak spots. Print cloths and carded
yarns gave a particularly bad per-
formance."

tops this week while waiting for a
clearer view Of 1885 prospects, but in
dustrial bonds pushed up to new highs
for the recovery.
Trading slackened somewhat, and
save for a brisk furry or two, selling
| In stocks was in modest volume. The
market had a good cushion in the
weeks business news, which included
q rise in steel production to the best
level since June, sharp gains In retail
trade, and a Jump in freight move
ment above 1888 levels for the first
time in weeks.
S. E. C. Watchers Alert.
Some brokerage quarters were in
clined to attribute the sag In stocks to
| Securities and Exchange Commission's s
market watchers. Some professional
traders were rumored to have pulled
in their lines. But about all that
could be learned definitely, however,
was that the commissions investigators
are active, and Wall Street Is more
convinced than ever that when the
commission said, in effect, mo monkey
business" it meant it. Many quarters
in Wall Street say the commission
is doing a constructive job.
The weeks turnover in shares in
the Stock Exchange declined to
5,3o9,2 from the previous weeks
total Of 6,232,451. The Standard Sta
tistics Co.'s price index Of 80 stocks
dipped 81 points to 72.6, which is SO
! points under the Autumn peak
reached the previous week.
The bond market was mixed, with
gilt-edged issues generally steady to
firm. Standard Statistics Co.'S price
index Of 20 representative industrial
issues rose o. to 85.7, a new high
since March of 1881. but the index of
20 rails dipped O.6 to 834 and the in
| dex of 20 utilities barely held steady,
closing at $40, of OIL.
Rail Bonds Confused.
The railroad bond market was a
little confused by remarks Of Jesse

who said in an address in New York

that cannot earn their interest

added that if Congress extends the
life Of the r. F. C. 1t will continue
to lend to any railroads that can put
up suitable collateral.
The commodity markets were mixed.
Grains reacted from their peaks Of
the last fortnight. Wheat registered
losses for the week Of Is to 2h cents
a bushel, and corn Of to u cents
a bushel. Cotton, however, showed
gains of IS cents to 81 q bale, and
