The Treasury will engage in a
914-million-dollar operation Sep
TENDER IS, Secretary Morgenthau
announced today, borrowing 400
millions in new cash and refinanc-
ing 514 millions in maturing
obligations.
Morgenthau said the new money
about completes Federal borrowing
for the current fiscal year, as only
$50 million dollars additional new
cash will be sought before July 80,
1887. This is in line with the re-
vised budget statement in which
President Roosevelt promised to
reduce Federal borrowing and cut
the deficit.
Keep Big Surplus
Morgenthau indicated Govern.
ment's policy Of keeping a big
cash surplus available for any
emergency that might arise from
unsettled political conditions in
Europe would continue. He said
I'm these times and with
present conditions abroad, it is
very desirable to keep a high
working balance. 1t is the safest
and cheapest insurance fund
the American people have
against any unforeseen hap
pening."
The Secretary explained that to
carry 1000 millions in cash in its
general fund costs the Govern.
ment only 100000 a year in in
terest and other charges.
Mods Explained
Two factors prompted borrow
ing 400 millions at this time. &C.
cording to Morgenthau. These in
cluded the postponement for 80
days of the collection of so-called
"windfall" taxes on professors who
passed AAA processing taxes onto
consumers, and the decision to
satisfy Hole current financial
needs instead of permitting the
corporation to borrow money
through bond issue.
In the refinancing operation, the
Treasury will exchange new Sc
curities for the $514,000,000 ~
per cent notes which mature this
month.

The curb market continued an ex-

A few Of the miscellaneous

Hier Corporation was active and
slightly higher after an easy open

Improved earnings were reflect
ed in a point advance to II for

were losing ground. Electric Bond

Feeders In Demand
There is a greater supply of
livestock feed on hand, and a
greater demand for feeder live
stock than there is cattle offered,
according to reports to the Depart
ment.
The feed information office Of
the Department at Kansas City
reported 100000 carloads Of feed
available, $4,000 more carloads
than in 1884, with reports of ad'
ditional feed being received daily.
Cattle buyers and feeders have
put in requests for $4,000 head,
but only $4,000 head have been
offered, and there are 1885, 900
acres Of pasture lands available
for leasing in the Middle West,

Thus far only slightly over 5000

the Government bought more than
six million head of live stock, had
them processed, and distributed

The United states logically can
be divided into 81 economic"
States with a trading capital IN
each of these areas, a newly-com-
pleted MIRA survey reported today.
The study, conducted during
the last year by the defunct re-
covery agency's research division,
completely revises the nations
business map and is designed to
arm industry with new informa'
ton concerning markets for goods
and commodities.
Each of the 81 trading areas
was defined in the report as a
large group of retail trading
areas. Included in each group are
primary trading centers - cities
and towns Of dominant CONNER
cial influence, and secondary trad
ing communities Of lesser
commercial influence but still OF
some Importance as distribution
points.
In its new economic map, the
report showed the city of Chicago
as the most influential trade area
of the United States. AS the key
city in its particular economic
district, Chicago is bounded by so
primary trading centers and "a
secondary trading centerS.
Boston was second with 90 pri-
mary and 20 secondary trading
centers, followed by Minneapolis
with 23 and 10. Other key cities
and their primary and secondary
areas include: New York, % and

ostensibly are merely "gentlemen's

Foods Deteriorate

In general, foods deteriorate on
ageing with varying intensity. This
is manifested by such visible conditions
as mold, rot and loss of moisture which
is concomltant with hardening effect.
Many times, however, this deteriora-
ton can only be detected by the change
in aroma and flavor, as with butter and
eggs, and coffee belongs to this class.
One of the greatest causes for spoil
age In foods is the presence Of oxygen.
This gas Is instrumental in changing
some Of the various constituents of
foods which have an affinity for 1t and
thereby alters the flavor Of the entire
food. The chemical composition Of

Predictions were correct. Old trea-
ties were scrapped at st. James pal
ace. But out of the wreckage of for
mer treaties arose a new idea which
gives fair promise of bringing a solu-
ton to the problem of meeting chang
ing International conditions over the
years-a problem which all too often
renders long-term treaties with rigid
limitations impractical.
Even more important is the tendency
of khe new plan to do away with ma
tons inherent distrust Of one another.
Under Its precepts the signatory ma

building programs (often because such
programs are out Of line with treaty
limitations), furnish one another with

The FLYING Pond

NEAR Buffalo, N. Y. lives farmer
who once had pond back of his
barn but he doesn't have 1t now.
George Fl. Schicker tells the reason
thus:
One evening last winter the farmer
saw flock of wild geese settle down
on his pond. He ran for his shotgun
but before he arrived at the pond 1t
was too dark to see the geese plainly
enough to shoot one. SO he decided to
wait until morning to try to bag a
goose.
That night there was a sudden drop
In the temperature. In the cold frosty
dawn the farmer hurried out to the
barn and peered around the corner.
Sure enough, there were the geese sit
ting quietly out in the middle of the
pond. He stepped out into the open
and raised his weapon. Immediately
the geese set up terrific clamor. The
next moment their threshing wings
were carrying them high into the
air and with them went the farmers
pond-frozen solidly to their legs.
Citizens of northern New York. now
look forward with dread to the COM
ing of every winter. They are afraid
that large flock of wild geese may
some time alight on Lake Ontario,
that sudden change will freeze it
to the legs of the big birds and that
they will lose their lake just as the
farmer lost his pond. Residents Of
northern Ohio are also said to be
alarmed over the possibility that the
same thing may happen to Lake Erie.
