ter of M. Ebert Mills, veteran pro-
fessor of engineering at the uni

DEPOS|TORS IN
CLOSED BANKS
GETTING PAID

WASHINGTON, July II. W.H =
More than $1o0,000,000 is being
made good" to depositors in banks
closed since the start of the depres-
sion by heavy assessments on many
bank stockholders, official and pri-
vate figures showed today.
Suits to collect the usual 100 per
cent assessment against bank stock
holders in closed institutions have
been instituted by both the comp
troller of the currency and state
banking authorities.
Only a small portion of the more
than $100, 1000, 900 to be obtained for
depositors is yet available to litigs-
ton, difficulty in liquidating affairs
of closed banks and inability of
many bank stockholders to pay
their assessment. The stock assess
ments are added to the assets of the
closed bsnks and ultimately distri-
buted pro-rata to depositors.
Moreover, the $100, 100000 is only
small change" when compared with
the estimate by Chairman Jesse H.
Jones Of the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation that depression losses
in closed banks will run to $780,
100000.
Stockholders in closed national
banks are now being assessed at the
rate of more than Sc, 6,000, 900 month
ly. J. F. T. O'Connor, comptroller
of currency, reported. The average
monthly rate for non-national
banks is believed to be in excess of

MONEY MARKETS
 OF WORLD AGAIN
 IN THE DOLDRUMS
Europe Much Perturbed
 Over Gold - United States Not Worrying
(By United Press)

The worlds money markets were disturbed today by wild ru- mors and specluation caused by re- change and the movement in gold prices.
 In Washington, the Treasury De- partment was ready, for a second time within few weeks. to per- init the exportation of gold to defend tfo dollar on its present standard of Is 5-21 grains. It re- gently allowed shipment of $1,- 000,000 in bullion to leave the country - gesture designed to supporting the dollar.
 In London, a jump in the gold price to 13S shillings 1-2 pence placed 1t at the highest price since February 6, and brought rumors that the price would go still higher.
 Yesterdays gyrations of foreign currencies, wherein the pound sterling went down in terms of the franc, while the dollar sank sharp- ly in terms of the franc and was fairly strong in terms of the pound, led to further rumors that Eng land had withdrawn, temporarily. her support of the pound, and that a return to a gold bullion basis was contemplated. .s
 In Paris, the franc today stood at 14.93 to the dollar (6.698 cents franc) at which it would be profitable to import gold from the United States. Observers believed the weakened dollar was the re- suit of rumors of a further devalu. ation of the United States dollar rumors which were denied in Washington.
