REICH ANGLING
FOR NEW LOAN

NEW YORK, Aug. "a G.N.SD.
Negotiations for a new credit to
Germany are still under way be-
tween British and American bank.
ers and representatives of the
Reich, it was learned today in
Well-informed financial circles.
American bankers, it is under
stood, are ready to join ir new
credit to Germany despite their
disastrous experience tWU years
ago, on two conditions:
First, that Germany post assets
outside that country as security
for new credit.
Second, that Germany release
some of the credit extended two
years ago and now frozen IN the
Reich.
American bankers also insist. 1t
was said, that the portion of the
credit obtained here or a large
part OF it, be spent in the United
States for raw materials vitality
needed in Germany. 1t was point
ed out. however, that before any
credit can be arranged it will
have to be determined whether
the johnson act barring financial
aid to a government in default to
the United States applies to a
credit extension.

:" N. Y. Curb Quotations zi ts:':,'s I'll ss::: %:'

NEW YORK, Aug. "a UN.S).
A brisk buying furry in the
utility group broke the monotony
of today's curb session and made
for a somewhat better level of
prices among the line, although
scattered profit-taking brought
minor declines in several recent
favorites.
There was no reason to account
for the sudden move in power
and light shares except the be-
lief that this industry would fare
better should inflationary tactics
be abandoned, as limited by
Secretary of the Treasury Nor
genthau yesterday.
Hudson Bay was active in the
metals, reaching 1873, up %, on
a par with it's previous high for
the year.
Hiram Walker met profit taking
in the alcoholS, declining 70 to
27H. Specialties did little, with
nominal gains noted in American
Cyanamid B at 1879 and Swift
and Company at 1873. Atlas
Corporation was in demand in
the investment trusts, advancing
"a to 97s.
Oils were firm, International
Petroleum gaining 1s at 29ka.
Utility bonds rallied sharply
in line with the action of stocks.

DROP IN POUND
MAY OPEN NEW
MONEY WAR

NEW YORK. Aug. "a G.N.SO,
Decline of the British pound to
a new low record in Paris against
the franc aroused a fresh bar,
rage of conjectureS in Wall Street
today, with informed opinion in
clined to believe that London was
seriously planning to devalue the
pound.
Withdrawal of support by the
British equalization fund found
reflection in a decline of sterling
to 1890 francs to the pound com
pared with the 1880 rate preva,
lent for several weeks. In the
New York market, sterling sagged
15s cents to $5.07, down about
&c from its recent high.
Fears were expressed that a
new currency war would be in.
evitable should the British gov
ernment takes steps to devalue
the pound. Not only would it
threaten anew the stability of
the gold-standard countries, but
it would invite new dollar devalu.
alton by the United States.
The definite assertion by Secre.
tary of Treasury Morgenthau
yesterday that no further de-
valuation was contemplated nor
was there to be any change ir
the policy of freely permitting
the export of gold when the dol
lars value fell below the export
point on foreign exchanges, was
regarded as an attempt to lull
the fears of Britain regarding
further initiation in this country.
Reports from the continent in
dicated that the British equaliza-
ton fund had been forced tc
spend heavily in recent weeks tc
keep the pound from slipping
with estimates placing present
resources of the fund at ap-
proximately $30O,OOO,O00, as
against its original set up of two
billion.

CLOTH SALES MODERATE

NEW YORK, Aug. "a G.N.s).-The
coarse yarn cloths market today con-
tinued to be featured by heavy cover
ing of 64 x sos against the recent award
of Government contracts, following SINH
lar activity late yesterday. Most of the
time nearby deliveries were held at
premium over later shipments. There
was a moderate volume of business
booked in several other styles. with
prices holding generally unchanged
Second hand offerings had been cleaned
up, and virtually none were available
today. Buyers showed some reluctance
to acceptance of the new general strike
clause, because they did not like the
prospect of making commitments which
left them uncertain as to when they
would get the goods.

WHEAT ACREAGE
PUT HIGHER

To recapture a lost export mar
ket and restore surplus wiped
out by drought, the AAA has
agreed upon a S per cent increase
in wheat acreage for 1885.
The new plan substitutes a 10
per cent reduction from basic
acreage for the existing Is per
cent reduction which, in concert
with the drought, has cut this
years estimated yield to 91,00O,-
900 bushels.
Next years crop goal is set be-
tween $50 and 800 million bushels,
which production AAA economists
expect to supply all domestic re-
quirementS and 1OO-milllon-
bushel export surplus.
This years shortage not only
precludes exports, but will prob
ably force importation of some
five million bushels of durum in
which an extreme shortage exists.
The new plan calls for planting
81 million acres to wheat, as
against So million acres planted
last fall and spring. The present
acreage has been expected to pro
duce O-million-bushel crop.
Farmers under contract are ex-
pected to plant about 46 million
out of next years 62 million acres,
the remaining Is million to be
planted by farmers not sharing
benefit paymentS.
The present 80 cents processing
tax will be continued, AAA Off
Cials said. Farmer benefits will
amount to % cents a bushel, with
the remaining cent going to a
fund to subsidize exports.

IN STOCK DEALS

The Treasury is checking up on
profits taken from the United
States through investments by
Americans living abroad or for
eigners with a view to assessing
taxes on them.
Two letters have been sent to
brokers and individuals the Trea-
Sury has reason to believe have
taken money from the United
States through profits in stock
transactions, dividends or other
wise.
The first letter states that he
Treasury has information the
person or firm addressed has had
stock, bond or commodity transac-
tions in the United States. The
letter said:
"In order to verify the in
formation received concerning
your income, it is requested
that you advise the location of
the collectors office in the
United States where your in
come tax returns were filed for
the years 1929 to 1888, incIu-
Bive."
ASKS DETAILS
The letter orders such persons
to file returns if they have not
and asks for detailed informa,
ton" on the transactions in ques-
ton.
The second letter, based on less
specific information, asks that
the person or firm concerned
advise whether returns have been
filed.

NEW YORK, Aug. "a 0.N.SO.
A somewhat reactionary tone pre-.
vailed in the bond market today.
The irregular tone appeared to
be due to fair amount of profit
taking rather than to any aggres-
Sive selling or liquidation move
ment.
Second grade rails, the trading
favorites since the onset of the re-
Covery, lost fractionally. Chicago
and North Western convertible
434s, st. Paul SIS, and st. Paul ad-
justment u were among those 60
ing lower.
Industrial bonds displayed a
similar tendency. Shell Pipe Line
SIS dipped while the International
Telephone 512s were unchanged.
United States Governments
turned moderately easier following
yesterdays rally. Treasury 314s
and Treasury 414s sagged slightly,
while the Home Owners Loan IS
were unchanged.

GARMENT MEN
MEET TOSTUDY
WAGE ORDER

NEW YORK, Aug. PA mass
meeting of the entire cotton gar
ment industry, numbering some
$500 manufacturers. has been
called for Monday, August q, to
carefully consider" the action of
President Roosevelt in ordering a
reduction in working hours in the
industry from 40 to So and an in
crease of 10 per cent in wages.
The meeting, announced yester-
day by w. C. Morgan, executive
manager of the International
Association of Garment Manufac-
turers, will stress the fact that mo
one in the cotton garment indus
try has been authorized to make
any statements for the industry
as a whole" in connection with
the plan. The meeting, after
carefully considering the Presi-
dents action, will make a full
statement of the industry's posi-
tion with respect to the order.
May Oppose Order
What was seen as a hint that
the industry may oppose the
Presidents order was contained in
the concluding paragraph of Nor
gan's statement, which said:
"It is to be understood that
the order, signed on the twenty
first, is not necessarily final,
but what is known as q show
cause order, and that the indus
try has IA days in which to pre-
sent the President such facts as
it may determine upon"
The reticence of both manufac-
turers and code authority repre-
SentatiVes to make any official
statement upon the order since it
was signed three days ago has
further heightened the belief
among the trades that some oppo-
sition might be voiced, although
no comment could be obtained.
Morgan stated that Ralph
Hunter, chairman of the code
authority for the industry, Col.
R. B. Paddock, executive director,
and Judge Raymond A. Walsh,
counsel of the code authority, had
determined to call a meeting of
the industry heads, in view of the
vast significance of the order.
The meeting will be held at the
offices of the IAGM, and a tele-
gram has been sent to all the
members of the industry asking
them to attend.
Order is General
That the "ten-ten" plan of the
Administration to reduce hours
and raise wages may be extended
to all branches of textile and ap-
parel trades was indicated by the
action of the infants and chill
dren's wear industry yesterday.
Maxwell Copelof, chairman of
the code authority for the indus
try, yesterday announced that a
mass meeting of the entire in
dustry has been called for next
Monday night at the Hotel Nc
Alpin to consider a reduction in
working hours from 40 to 36,
which would involve a CORE
spending increase in wages.
Copelof's announcement was the
first indication that the Admin
istration was moving for a gen.
eral hour reduction and wage in
crease throughout industry, in
that he revealed that the step is
being taken at the suggestion
of the NRA ITSELF"
