TEXAS OIL CURB
RESULTSPRA|SED
Chief of State Commission
Points to Progress in Re-
striCting Output.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
AUSTIN, Tex, June 3-Ernest o.
Thompson, chairman Of the Texas
Railroad Commission, said today In
creasing demand and the demonstrated
ability of State to cooperate in con-
trolling production promised a con-
tinuing era Of prosperity for the oil
industry.
He repeated that there was nothing
alarming about production from the
Rodessa field on the Louisiana-Te
border, that Federal court action pro-
hibiting transportation Of certain oil
from that field was reassuring and
that conservation generally was
stronger than it ever had been.
Cites Firm Market.
In the Rodessa area the Railroad
Commission yesterday reduced the al
lowable production of seven wells from
$50 to ATS barrels daily to conform
with a reduction in Louisiana.
Asserting various factors make for
firmness in the market, Thompson
said consumer demand was up IL
per cent more than last year and in
creasing right along"
This demand is not merely sea-
sonal, but is due to general business
recovery" he said.
"The States recently demonstrated
they can control production, for when
necessity presented, they cut it back.
During the last week production for
the Nation dropped more than $4,000
barrels daily, every important area
showing decreases"
Cheered by Injunction.
Thompson noted as an important
development the issuance by Federal
Judge Randolph Bryant of Sherman
of an injunction restraining movement
in interstate commerce of about
$4,000 barrels of oil which the Gov
ernment charged was produced IL
legally in the RodeSsa field.
There is no question that the con-
servation program of the Nation is in
the strongest position it ever has
been," he said, 'as evidenced by the
cooperative spirit among operators in
various States and the State regulatory
authorities"

CHICAGO, June 3.-An increase of

with last year was reported for the first

Richardson said that 80 per cent of

of pairs sold for the present
Some manufacturers at the exhibit
said that although sales were greater
than last year, the purchases came
from fewer buyers. Declining to be
quoted, they said they believed the
show opening in Boston Sunday had
an effect on attendance.
Richardson reported that at mid
afternoon registration reached 1880
with the greatest rush of registra-
ton expected tomorrow. He said he
expected total attendance of 5000

PRICE INSTABILITY
HITS PAPER FIRMS
Output Within z Per Cent of 1929
Record With Mills at "a Per
Cent of Capacity.
Sbec'a. Dispatch TO The Star.

NEW YORK, June 3.-With paper
manufacture in 1885 within per cent
of the 1929 record output but paper
mills operating at only "a per cent
of capacity, the industry Is suffering
from an instability Of the price struc-
ture which is preventing many COM
panieS from operating profltably, ac-
cording to the Index of the New York
Trust Co.
New mill construction despite these
conditions is feared in some quarters
to threaten still more marked over
capacity. the bank organ continues,
and one of the unknown factors in
this situation is the possible establish
ment of a domestic newsprint indus
try in the South.
While no newSprint mills are yet
in operation in the South, the tech
nique of converting the available pulp
wood into newsprint," the Index says,
has reached point which indicates
the eventual possibility of economic
use of the material. While such
development would generally be a
very favorable one, it has its hazards
for the paper industry as a whole.
Overproduction, and the consequent
price unsettlement to which it might
easily lead, could have very disturb
ing effect"

DATA ON FOREIGN
SECURITIES DUE
Study on Money Movements
to Be Issued Soon by
Commerce Officials.
BY FREDERICK GARDINER.

Associated PreSS FINANCIAL writer.
Significant data on the interna-
tional flow OF capital Is expected In
the first comprehensive census Of for
eign-held American securities, slated
for publication shortly by the Com
merce Department.
Interest in the long-awaited study,
aimed to fill an important gap in the
Governments information on money
movements, has been whipped up in
financial circles by a discussion Of
European buying Of investments in
domestic markets and OF shift in
security trading.
Some looked today 10 the census TO
throw indirect light on the question OF
growth Of trading in American securi-
ties abroad They contend it would
disclose substantial foreign holdings
of American shares available for
trading away from home exchanges.
SkepticAl of Report.
Federal Reserve and s. E. C. au-
skeptical toward Wall Street reports
that trading in American stocks in
foreign markets had increased in a
shift to escape high margins and other
restrictions
Reserve officials have withheld COM
ment pending study by the New
York Stock Exchange Of effects Of the
recent boost in margin requirements
to SIS per cent Of market values.
Allegations of shift in stock trad
ing have figured in tax discussions
before Congress.
"A large and increasing volume Of
trading in American shares has de-
veloped recently in the Canadian,
London, Amsterdam and other foreign
markets" House committee was told
by DR.. H. w. A. Beenhouwer, member
of the Amsterdam Stock Exchange
and representative OF an American
investment house.
Shift Laid to Taxes.
He attributed the shift mainly to
an intensified effort by the Treasury
to collect taxes from foreign purchas-
ers of American securities.
They have also been driven away
by the new margin rules" he con-
tinued. That is very important
matter.
in Amsterdam and London, roughly
speaking, they have a system under
which anybody who wishes to trade
with good collateral can do so with
20 per cent margin.
But under your margin rules these
people say: Why trade in America
when we can trade abroad with no
questions asked on a 20 per cent
margin?'"
Some brokers have complained loss
of such trading was a serious threat
to their business, considering how ex-
tensively foreigners participated in
the American market in recent years

NEW YORK, June s.-Wau Street
foreign exchange authorities saw to-
day new evidence Of capitalization Of
the French economic and financial
difficulties in the labor disorders and
continuing outflow Of gold from Paris.
Pressure on the French franc. it
was felt here, was being transmitted
to currencieS Of other continental gold
bloc countries and caused the second
increase in a week in the Dutch dis
count rate, which today was raised to
AZ per cent from 3h per cent.
A new gold shipment left France
today when the Aquitania sailed
from Cherbourg with $1O,20O,0OO OF
the monetary metal. The weekly
statement Of the Bank of the Neither
lands. showed that for the period
ended June the institution had ex-
perienced a gold loss of 43.60O,OOo
guilders (about S29 ,672 ,OoO). cables to
bankers here indicated,
Sterling in Demand.
Uncertainty over the European gold
bloc status brought new demand for
the pound sterling both here and
abroad. In New York the pound was
quoted at $500, up 2 l-I6 cents, to a
new high since February. Abroad
the pound advanced to 1925 francs
against 1898 francs yesterday, also
a new high for the current move.
International banking quarters said
the growing labor disorders in France.
which appeared to many observers to
be assuming the proportions of gen
eral strike, are traceable to the long
deflation of wages and prices.
This unfavorable economic trend.
many experts thought, was in turn
aseribable TO the maintenance of the
gold basis for the franc at time when
other important world currencies were
being devalued in terms of the yellow
metal.
Short Selling Ended.
American short selling Of the franc
has virtually ceased since the heavy
losses sustained in Wall Street from
that type of operation during May.

a sharp discount as TO virtually pre-
clude hedging. considerable covering Is
anticipated, it was reported.
To this support from short sellers
banking quarters attributed much Of
the steadiness which ruled for the
French franc for spot delivery. The
franc was quoted unchanged at 6.5s3s
cents. Bankers said that there had
been no evidence so far of official
operations in this market to support
the currency. Guilders likewise were
