The new Securities and Ex

weather eye on the securities
markets on the chance some
group Of operators might try for
a quick killing" before the regu.
lation becomes effective in Sep
tember and october, and thus
produce unsettling flurries, it was
announced at a meeting here.
It's members were confident,
however, that with markets quiet
and exchanges vigilant there
would be no need for Federal
action.
Prepare Plans
Most attention was centered on
q variety Of plans for dividing
the work Of regulation amoag the
commissioners and the staff to
be created.
The Federal Trade CommiS.
sion's securities staff, headed by
B. B. Bane, was expected to be
absorbed in the new organization.
Short selling on the New York
Stock Exchange will be permitted
to continue under existing regu-
lationS until the Securities Ex-
change Commission, created by
the recently enacted law to regu.
late stock exchanges, has iormu-
lated its rules on the subject, it
was learned yesterday.
The attitude of the exchange
toward the commission in general
could be described as one OF
watchful waiting with the Off
cials of the institution ready to
cooperate in furnishing informa,
ton on which rules might be
based for specific practices.
Capital Spokesman
Some consideration has been
given by the exchange authorities
to the idea of having its repre-.
sentative in Washington to ap.
pear before the commission when
it is functioning exactly but a de.
cision on the matter has not been
reached. The Headquarters OF
the commission will be maintained
in washington, it is expected, but
that body probably will have
branch offices in New York and
other principal cities.

New York Stock Exchange at its
meeting yesterday passed a 1eso'

ment Of not more than ten per
sons to meet with the committee

Canada to Uphold
World Wheat Pact

Canada will live up to all Oh
legations under the world wheat
agreement, Premier Bennett told
House Of Commons. There has
been no breach of the pact by
Canada and there would be
none.
The prime minister's statement
was taken to mean Canada would
adhere to its quotas of zoe, ,000, 900
bushels for the present crop year
and approximately 267,oOO.00
bushels for the next.
w. r. Motherwell. former min
lister of agriculture, attacked the
wheat agreement on the grounds
it meant acreage and production
reduction.
Canada, he suggested, would
be better advised extending mar.
kets for wheat, for instance to
the Orient. than curtailing pro-
duction while millions through
out the world were hungry.

He refuted the accusation that
commercial bankers have "devel-
oped an undue liquidity complex, I"
and said the creation of employ
ment and pure chasing power
through sound industrial activity
is a wholesome economic Stimu.
liant that has none of the evil; of
monetary initiation. He continued:
Frequently in times past
when our country suffered from
an economic depression and con-
sequent unemployment on q
large scale, the rise of some
broad new industrial develop
ment, such for instance as q new
industry like the automobile in
dustry, has been a powerful fac
tor in stimulating a return or
an accelerated growth Of ma
tiOnal prosperity.
Perhaps we have at hand, if
not the rising Of . wholly new
industry, a m saSure equivalent

RULES
REICH TRADE
BY CHARLES L. FLICK

Minister of Economics Schmitt
has been given unlimited dicta-
torial power to reorganize Ger
man economy.
The new law empowers him to
take all steps in the field of busi-
ness and trade which in his opin-
ion are necessary to revive further
German economy, regardless Of
existing laws"
Berlin financial circles view with
optimism the British transfer
agreement, pointing out that a
British German trade war has
been averted, and that Germany
is thus given a half-year breathing
spell.
The main significance of the
agreement lies in the paragraph
declaring transfers can only be
carried out if the debtors trade
balance with the creditor is ac-
tive. This. it is believed, is likely
to be used as q club against the
United States in the coming nego-
tiations in view of Americas
highly favorable trade balance
against Germany.
The Berlin Bourse reflected this
optimism, with nearly all lead
ing issues, advancing nearly 2
points, while there was somewhat
stronger public buying Of reutes
and interest bearers, which dis
PEELED initiation rumors. The dol.
lar closed at 2.51 marks and the
pound sterling was weaker at
1888.

ADVISER PLANS
APPROVAL BY
EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, July 6.-The gov.
Arning committee of the New York
Stock Exchange approved yester-
day, as scheduled, the resolution
that will permit the addition of
ten advisory members from out
side the committee membership
to sit with it in its deliberations.
The names Of the new advisers
probably will not be announced
until next week. It is the desire
OF the exchange to make public
the full list at one time. and it is
understood that some Of those
who have been approached are
etill uncertain whether they can
give the necessary time.
The resolution, which was an
,Dounced last week, constitutes a
substantial change in the ex-
changes policy. The new outside
members, who may be chosen
from industry or any Of the pro-
1essions, as well as from the gen.
.eral securities field, will have
places on the standing and special
committees Of the governing COM
mittee. They will be asked to
take part in all discussions and
deliberations except those in con-
nection with the discipline Of a
member of the exchange, but they
will have no vote. They are to
be chosen once a year, at the first
governing committee meeting in
July.
It was expected yesterday that
the names of the members Of the
new committee on arbitrage which
the governing committee voted to
set UP last week would be made
public. There was a last-minute
change in plans, however.

weekly weather report, coupled
with reactionary tendencies in
grains, turned the cotton market
sharply lower today.
Trading was fairly heavy

The list steadied somewhat in
later dealings, following publica-
