Twenty officers and 61 enlisted men were picked up from rubber boats and rafts by the life boats of naval ships.

HOME MORTGAGES

Controller Rules They Are Not to

All financial institutions Of the
United States have been notified by
the Federal Housing Administration
of the ruling of j. F. T. OConnor,
controller of the currency, that ma
tional bank examiners will be inStruc-
ted not to classify home mortgage

In a letter to the Federal housing
administrator announcing his ruling,
Mr.. O'Connor states that the making
of mortgage loans under provisions of

banks is matter of internal business
administration and for the determina-
ton of the directors of each bank. He
then continues in the letter:
Because of the insurance provided
for loans of this type and because

BETTER OUTLOOK
IN FOREIGN TRADE
Four-Year Peak for Imports
Regarded as Weapon
to Spur Exports.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, May 11.-Economists
who uphold the theory that foreign
trade consists in taking in each 9TH
er's washing" have been cheered by
the growth Of imports to the highest
point in four years.
Not since April of 1881 have Ameri-
can purchases in world markets ex-
ceeded the March, 1885, imports of
Sl77,279,000, and the high total is
cited by these economists as the best
weapon for increasing American ex-
ports.
During the same month we exported
S185, ,001 900 in goods, leaving a net
export surplus of some S7,722 900 in
goods.
Almost without exception, these
economists point out, business and in
dustry in the United States desire to
increase American sales to other ma
tions, but there is almost universal
objection to increasing our purchases
from others, especially when such i'm
ports create competition with home
industry.
Financial authorities who contend
the foreign trade of the United States
can be expanded at this time only
if America purchases more foreign
goods, say imports and exports over
a period of time balance exactly.
If more goods go out of the United
States than comes into the country,

EARNINGS SHOWN
AT STEEL PLANTS
Total Profits for First Quarter
Estimated by Institute at
$s,3OO,0OO Level.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 1.-THE Ameri-
can Iron & Steel Institute estimated
today that the steel industry operated
at a profit during the first quarter of
1885 for the first time since the second
quarter Of 1884. Aggregate net earn
ings for the period were estimated at
S8,300,000, after all charges but before
dividends.
In the second 1884 quarter, however,
earnings were estimated at 5000, 900,
but during the first 1884 quarter there
was a deficit of $8,6OO,0O0. For the
entire year, the institute estimated
losses of the steel industry at $25,-
100000.
The average rate of operations based
on steel ingot capacity was 1892 per
cent in the first 1885 quarter, COM
pared with 4027 per cent in the first
1884 quarter. 1T appears, therefore" +"

USED CAR STOCKS
REDUCED SHARPLY
Intensive Drive to Clean Out
Supply Improves Out
look in Week.
BY DAVID ]. WILKIE,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

DETROIT, May IA sharp cur
tailment of stocks of used cars, re-
ported to producers here, was one
of the encouraging developments OF
the last week in the automotive in
dustry. The used car movement re-
flected in some respects the shortage
of low-priced cars among some OF
the distributors, but an intensive drive
to clean out secondhand vehicles has
been under way for some time.
Advices to manufacturers indicate that
normal level in used cars may be
looked for shortly.
A more rigid control Of used cars
has been one of the objectiveS OF the
motor car industry since volume out
put made its appearance and II the
stocks Of these vehicles can be brought
down to what may be called normal
level the industry will have achieved
another noteworthy step in over
coming obstacles that have interfered
with profitable merchandising.
Producer Also Affected.
While the secondhand car is a
flrst-hand problem of the distributor,
it becomes one for the producer as
soon as a dealers stock becomes un-
wieldy and ties up much of his cash.
The dealer was aided materially ny
the code agreement that fixed q spe-
cific price for cars of certain age in
given trading territory. The agree
ment removed the evils of bidding
against competitors in endeaVoring to
make new-car sales.
Stocks accumulated rapidly, how
ever, during the early weeks OF the
current year because the greater part
of new-car sales involved a used car
as part of the purchase price and the
demand for new vehicles has peen
growing steadily almost since current
models were first presented. Con-
sumner demand, incidentally, continues
upward, with no indication of a slow
ing down.
Steady Program Ahead.
Barring some further disturbance
to assembly activity the producing
units of the industry seem to have a
steady program laid out that should
ldhe lilen llSuI up W CliO HCW Whioe0A
season without very noticeable cur
tailment in output. The producers are
counting heavily upon demand that
should swell for the next several weeks
from sections of the country hereto
fore affected by adverse weather con-
ditionS. Some of this second wave"
of buying already has appeared, but
it has not vet reached the full volume
expected by producers and distributors.
