WASHINGTON, Aug. John
Dillinger's bloodstained straw hat,
his gun, and the girls picture he
had in his watch when shot down,
are now part of the grewsome
crime morgue" at the justice de-
partment.
The Dillinger relics first were
placed in a glass case in the ante
room of the Office Of J. Edgar Hoo
yer, chief of the bureau of investi-
cation. SO many employees took
time off to inspect the new display
that Mr.. Hoover moved it to his
inner office.
The justice department has thou
sands of criminal souvenirs in the
attic of its overcrowded quarters.
When it moves to the new building
on Constitution avenue, all will be
busted off and displayed appropri-
ately in one large room.
Dillinger's use of a dummy" gun
to escape from an Indiana Jail has
resulted in no end of trouble for
various prison officials One con-
vict in a federal prison was found
recently with an imitation Colt
automatic, fashioned out of iron
piping. 1t even had regulation

FOREIGN TRADE
FALLS OFF

The foreign trade of the United
States during July, according to
the monthly figures made public
Saturday, declined more than
Seasonally. The export surplus
of merchandise totaled $34, AS, 900
practically the same as in the
previous month. In July, 1888,
the export surplus amounted to
only $1,129,0O0.
Imports for consumption, which
include goods entered Immediately
upon arrival, plus Withdrawals
from bonded warehouses, dropped
from $135, ,O00,00 in June to $124,-
100000 in July. Goods entered
into bonded warehouses declined
slightly from $19,65O,000 in June
to $19,156,000, while Withdrawals
from bonded warehouses decreased
from $18,615,000 in June to $751;
937 600 in July.
Over a period of years, Com
merce Department statistics show
the decline in trade from June
to July has averaged about l per
cent for exports and 3 per cent
for imports. Exports of merchan-
disc for July were 161,787 900 as
against $170,571, 900 in June.
Imports were valued at $127,-
$4,000 as compared with $780,
$4,000 in June. Thus the de-
crease of S per cent in the value
Of all exports and c per cent in
the case of general imports caused
the Seasonally adjusted indiceS
of values to decline.
Compared with July. 1888, ex-
ports were IL per cent larger in
value but imports were II per
cent smaller.

DECEMBER RISE
SEEN BY TRADE
By International News Service

By International News Service
Indicating "a continued opti-
mistic attitude toward business
conditions" for the final months
of 1884, the national statistical
survey of business attitudes reports
that II per cent of business
leaders who participated in a
survey last month have expressed
their belief in an improvement in
business conditions in December.
This percentage was reported
precisely the same as that indicat-
ing belief in better conditions in
November which resulted from a
similar survey made in June.
Laying stress on the immediate
future, the surveys announce
ment declared:
''It is worthy of note that, al
though the percentage of replies
Ito a businesS-cOnditiOns ques-
tiOnnaire) expressing a belief in
better business five months
ahead was the same as last
month, there was a rise of FL
per cent in the optimistic fore
cast for business three months
ahead. In the June survey, only
64 per cent of those responding
expected better business in Sep
tember, but in the second sur
vey, taken in July, IS per cent
looked for improved conditions
in October"
Breaking down the question
naires into a correlation of replies
from the various Federal Reserve
districts, the survey found:
Boston, Richmond, San Fran
cisco, and Chicago business
leaders were more optimistic than
the previous month. Business men
in Atlanta, st. Louis, Kansas City,
and Dallas were less optimistic.
New York, Philadelphia, CleVe-
land and Minneapolis showed
practically no change in Senti-
ment, while Minneapolis was still
the most peSSimiStic.

COTTON PRICES
TURN HIGHER

NEW YORK, Aug. % G.N.S0
The cotton market displayed
firming tendencies today, follow
ing it's extended decline of the
past two session.
The list opened about un-
unchanged, although the Liver.
pool market was slightly above
due prices. There was good
trade demand, especially from
the continental trade. Ring OBJ
servers reported that substantial
orders from this source had been
placed on a scale down basis
awaiting execution. Liverpool was
also steady buyer.
Principal offerings came from
New ORLEANS nd the South. It
became apparent as the session
progressed that 1925 was a
strong resistance point for the
December contract, for this month
always rallied after offerings had
brought values down TO Cne a1ore-
mentioned level.
Texas reports disagreed as to
the effects of rains in the West.
Certain quarters placed the loss
in the August drought at from
100000 to 100000 bales, with
present estimates differing as to
how much of this had been cut
as a result of the subsequent
rainfall.
While there was a feeling that
the textile strike could not be
avoided, most interests were dis
inclined to sell cotton for the
reason that they did not believe
the union following was sufficient
to bring about extensive shut
downs.
Late in the forenoon, gains
ranged from 2 to 5 points, with
october up at 1914, December up
3 at 1928, January up 2 at
1881, March up 3 at 1889 and

FROM B. NJ. 7.

NEW YORK, Aug. 28.-BaldWin
B. Bane, chief of the securities
division of the Federal Trade Com
mission, has sent a QUESTIONABLE
to dealers who acquired Brooklyn
Manhattan Transit fifteen year
IS, 1949, seeking information as to
the placement of the bonds, issued
without registration under the
securities act.
Names Sought
The dealers were requested TO
inform the commission OF the
names and addresses of those for
whom they bought the bonds or
to whom they eventually sold the
bonds purchased for their own &C
count.
In addition to seeking knoWl-
edge of the eventual purchasers OF
the bonds, the commission has
asked dealers Tor lntOrmaClOn as
to the method by which the de-
livery was made, principal amount
in each instance and the serial
numbers of the bonds.
IntraState Deal
This issue of the Brooklyn.Man'
haitian Transit bonds were sold to
a syndicate of securities houses by
whom they were disposed of with
out registration under the securi
ties act.
The basis of non-registration
was that the company was incor'
porated in New York State and
does it's business entirely within
the State; the law provides that
under such circumstances the
corporations securities may be
distributed to persons resident
within the State without registra.
