FOREIGN MONEY COMING
INTO us. ON EVERY BOAT

TIL fabulous tide of gold, pouring
into America from the Golfers of
almost every arriving ocean liner,
has financial authorities trying,
with some concern, to gauge the
consequences.
In month and half, the golden
inflow has amounted to more than
$100,000,000 as measured by the
treasury's daily statements. In a
year, it has exceeded $1,728, 000,0 900.
In less than two years, it has total
ed more than $2,4OO,OOO,0OO.
The first and most important re-
suit has been an increase in the
idle capital of the banks. Today
they have on deposit with the Fed
eral Reserve banks some $3,070,-
100000 more than the law requires.
A credit boom could multiply
that figure by ten in loans, many
economists contend, while the gid,
itself could, coneeivably, furnish
the basis for an expansion of the
currency. The Federal Reserve
Board has machinery intended to
check the former, and, with the
treasury, the latter as we'll.
Experts hold that the gold is
coming to America first of all be-
cause foreign exchange rates are at
such levels that the banks can buy
the metal in Europe and sell {. it
profitably to the treasury at the
standing price of $35 an ounce.
Foreign exchange quotations, in
turn, are at their present levels, il
is contended, because unsettled Eu-
ropean economic conditions, the
war scare, and diminishing conf
dence in the franc and other gold
currencies has brought about flow
of capital to this country.
The thrush of gold has all occur
red since the legal gold equivalent
of the dollar was reduced early ir
February, 1884. At the same time
the dollar was placed upon wha
treasury officials called an interna
tional gold bullion standard.
That is, while domestic business
men could obtain no gold for theil
dollars, those in other nations could
when in the course of things thu
balance of international payment
required the shipment of gold on
of the country. That has happened
in small and isolated amounts.
In the early days of the depres
sion, with the nation an unqualified
gold standard, gold moved in ant
out of the country freely. In 1890
there was net excess of import
amounting to $416,752,OOO.

ment ever seen on a construction
project is now being used at Spill
way. The rough floor of channel
at gate structure site is crisscrossed
in tick tack-toe pattern by vertical
cuts made by an electric saw ma
chine. The saw kerfs are about 8
inches wide by 4 feet deep. But
this is only l of the special rigs
put to work ply Addison Miller Inc.
& Fielding & Shepley, general con-
tractors. Another electric band
saw making horizontal cuts, kDifes
under the 4.foot layer Of shale with
sehi-circular sweeps. Ahead of
this saw, an ungainly pull-shovel
digs up the loose blocks Of shale
and loads them into small dump
trucks headed for the spoil bank.
The pull-shovel backs up as the saw
advances.
A short distance away,a crawler
crane has an electric auger dang
ling from it. This rig is used to bore
vertical holes into the shale S feet
in diameter & 80 feet deep, as part
of the pile foundations for structure
The boring machine is homemade
contraption. What vas done was
to take CUTS out of a 75-h.p. trac-
tor, cram them inside a box made
of heavy steel plates. A 40-h. p.
electric motor was mounted on top
of the box, with chain drive to the
gears. From bottom of box is sus
pended 50-foot shaft of anger bit.
Gutter blades<5 feet in diameter,
with inserted teeth bore into shale.
About 100 lineal feet of holes per
20-hour day are now being made.
On this job, shale rock is being
cut, sliced & bored like cheese by
these powerful machines.
Martin Wunderlich at lower end
of spillway is nearing wind-up ofhis
job With another week of good
weather he will be pulling off the
project. The shilling basin is about
2 3 down to grade. A IL yard
carryall scraper is being used on
the shortest haul.
Massman Constr. Co., otherwise
known as Spillway Builders Inc are
laying railroad tracks to end of new
gravel dumping t%restle, & are also
putting in side tracks so that they
can handle about 100 cars of con-
crete AGGREGATES and cement, daily.
During prevailing ideal weather
conditions dirt moving proceeds at
same record making rate that it did
last month. Massman's yardage
to date totals over 100000.
The peaceful calm & quiet which
prevail in the open cut at outlet
portals of diversion tunnels belle
the intense activity inside the holes
where enlargement operations are
under way. The top heading me-
thod of advance into bluffs gave
such promise in No. 4 tunnel, in
spite of treacherous nature of the
shale in this particular bore, that
Mason & Walsh Co. have adopted
it in Nos. 1 & 2 as we'll. In these
tunnels the ground is much better

STOCKS BEAT Time
IN NARROW RANGE
Advances Shown by Some
Motor, Traction and Spe-
CiaIty Issues.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

NEW YORK, January 5.-Stocks
backed and filled rather listleSsly in
todays brief market session and most
Of the leaders were unable to get out
Of narrow fractional range. Improve
ment was shown by some of the motor.
traction and speciality issues. The
close was steady. Transfers approx
imated 100000 shares.
After overnight study of the PreSi-
dents message TO Congress, Specula-
tive forces seemingly concluded that
the administrative program was about
in line with expectations and con-
tanned little that could be considered
as an immediate market stimulus.
The financial district at the same
time. was moderately cheered by the
assertions Of the Chief Executive that
spending for public works to cut unem-
ployment would be kept within the
Governments credit. This was in
terpreted in some quarters as anti
infationary and as an indication that
funds for relief projects would be
raised through orthodox methods. The
failure of the message TO mention
price raising or prospective monetary
policies was also viewed as construc-
tive.
OF more importance to the equities
market, it was felt in most board
rooms, was the budget message which
is to be delivered TO Congress Monday.
1t was hoped this would provide
bUllish influence which would enable
stocks to resume their upward trend.
1t was realized, however, that, in view
of existing uncertainties. the Presi-
dent might present an "open-end"
budget.
Shares of Auburn Automobile got
up more than 2 and Allied Chemical
and Simms Petroleum were up nearly
as much. Continental Can edged into
new high territory for the year.
Gamers OF fractions to a point or so
included Johns -Manville, American
Radiator, Foundation Co., Liggatt g.
Myers B. U. S. Gypsum, Packard,
Chrysler. U. S. Steel common and pre-
ferred, U. S. Smelling. N. Y. Ship
building. Interboro Rapid Transit,
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit Manhat-
tan modified and American Sugar Re-
inning.
Such issues as Case, General Motors,
Deere, Santa Fe N Y Central, Union
Pacific. Consolidated Gas, Public
Service Of New Jersey and American
Can were virtually unchanged. Ameri-
can Telephone firmed.
The rail stocks apparently paid little
attention to the somewhat more than
