MONETARY ACTION
HELD BENEFICIAL
World Sterilization and Internal
Recovery for France Foreseen
as Important Effects.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October Sin It's
weekly summary Of the general busi-
ness situation, the Standard Stats
tics Co. of New York currently COM
ments as follows:
"Devaluation of the French franc,
which is being followed by similar ac-
tion by the remaining gold bloc coun-
tries, is regarded as a highly con-
structive development. The move is
not only a major step towards ulti-
mate stabilization of world currencies,
but it also will promote internal re-
covery in France. This, together with
the prospective modification of French
tariff and quota policies, should en-
able that country to expend its pur-
chases of American products and fos-
ter a revival Of international trade
generally.
Meanwhile, domestic business news
is reassuring. Attention IS currently
being focused on Detroit, where the
automobile manufacturers are con-
centrating efforts on 1887 models. The
entire industry has now suspended
operations on this years models and
several producers are actively under
way on the 1887 cars.
THE cleanup of 1886 models in
the hands of dealers Is progressing In
q satisfactory manner and dealers
will be in an excellent condition by
the time they have 1887 merchandise
to offer"

LONDON CHEERED

Stable Exchanges and Gain
In World Trade Believed
Likely to Result.
BY LEONARD ]. REID.

6y Cdplc W &Ac otaAs
LONDON, October 3.-The financial
district spent the past week readjust-
ing itself to the new currency align
ment with notably calm success, espe-
cially in view of the fact that reopen
ing Of the Paris Bourse was delayed
by politics. The initial and rather
wide fluctuations in the exchanges
were considered an inevitable prelude
to a hoped-for greater stability.
It is fully realized here that for
midable early difficulties beset the
new regime, especially in respect to
the French political and social budget
problems, and that it is obviously i'm
possible to even discuss binding agree
ments on the dollar-pound rate and
other vital Anglo American problems,
including war debt settlement, until
after the American presidential elec-
tion.
Since the dollar-pound-franc tri-
angle governs the whole position, a
period of patient waiting is inevitable.
Nevertheless, there is general hope
fulness here in ultimate favorable re-
suits in the direction of exchange sta
bility, loosening of European currency
restrictions and leading to tariff dis
cussions as opening the door to a big
ger volume of world trade benefting
all nations.
Domestically, London's week was
highly satisfactory. An initial slump
In government issues has now been
mainly recovered. 1t is realized that
a cheap money policy will continue
here and also in America, while in
dustrial recovery must progress in both
countries. British industrial shares,
which show a firm tone but narrow
irregular quotations. are likely to i'm
prove in the near future unless con-
tinental disappointments intervene.
The irregularity in commodities at this
early stage Is a necessary corollary
to the temporary exchange fluctua-
tions, but the trend is seen to be
higher.

PROTESTS REVIVE
STUDY OF CHEAP
JAPANESE GOODS
Loss of Huge U. S. Cotton
Trade Feared if Flow of
Imports Is Curbed.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, October 3.-Enlivened
recently by renewed protests from
some adversely affected interests in
the United States, the perennial prob
lem of Japan, formidable competitor
and at the same time third best of the
Nations customers, Is once more to the
fore.
Economists point out that while
japanese imports threaten to under
mine certain home industries by cut
ting prices below domestic costs the
same country imported $105, ,3s3 900
worth OF American merchandise in
the first seven months. If these huge
exports are TO continue, they say, the
only available method Of repayment
imports from that country-must be
permitted.
Large Part Imported.
The Cotton Textile Institute, q
trade organization. reports imports
of bleached cloth from Japan in the
first seven months were approximately
40 per cent Of the average yardage
produced here. Velveteen imports were
about so per cent of domestic produc-
ton.
Imports have increased enormously.
the institute states, bleached cloth
jumping from 256,624 yards in the
entire year 1888 to 40,174,349 yards
in the first seven months this year.
Other categories have shown equally
wide percentage gains.
Trade authorities, on the other
hand, say that although cotton fabric
imports from Japan in the first six
months more than doubled the COM
parable total last year, at 100000
square yards. this was less than 2
per cent of our annual output.
Only IA Branches Affected.
Thus while Japanese imports equal
about half our production of some
comparable items, they are in direct
competition with only IA of 40
branches of the cotton textile industry
of this country. Total imports of
fabrics in the first seven months also
were at an annual rate of only So
100000.
Domestic felt hat manufacturers call
attention to the fact that imports Of
competitive hat bodies from Japan
rose from 1884 in 1884 to 1892, ,93s
in the first seven months, adding that
they sell wholesale at $3.50 a dozen,
compared with 81 dozen for Ameri-
can duplicates.
Japan's competitive advantage rises
chiefly from her cheap labor. Wage
levels are comparatively low; textile
workers receive an estimated % to 80
cents a day average against about
$304 here.
Cotton Trade at Stake.
Raw cotton, the bread and butter OF
millions of our citizens below the
Mason Dixon line, makes up about
two-thirds Of total shipments to Japan.
During the past five crop seasons we
have grown, roughly, $4,000, 900 bales
of the staple. Japan has bought o.
100000 bales from us in the same
period, or about 14.5 per cent Of the
total. In the last crop year alone
some 500 900, 900 worth Of raw cotton
was loaded on Toxic bound ships.

GRAINS DEPRESSED
BY POSSIBILITY Of
LARGER PAINTINGS
Early Estimates of Winter
Wheat Acreage Are
Largest Since 1919.
BY A. A. PATTON,
lated Press Statistician.


NEW YORK. October 3-The dim
threat, far in the future. Of possible
sharp increase in grain yields supplied
the principal impetus for the dip in
commodity prices this week.
Early estimates of Winter wheat
paintings in trade quarters were the
largest since 1919. This outlook was
largely responsible for the downturn
in wheat, despite the bullish statistical
position of the cereal. Other grains
also came under the influence Of pos
sibly larger paintings next year, in
cluding corn, oats and rye.
The Associated Press weighted index
Of IS important wholesale commodities
dropped to 81 per cent Of the 1925
average from 81.47 last week, and
compares with 1881 year ago.
Cotton Cloth Climbs.
Cotton cloth prices experienced the
sharpest run-up since 1888, with for
ward orders covering requirements well
into 1887 being placed by many large
consumers. The sudden realization by
the trade that sustained retail demand
had reduced stocks to the lowest level
in years brought flood Of buying into
the market
Subject to the same broad demand
that boosted cloth, raw cotton ad-
vanced on good volume Wool prices
nudged up also as prospects of the
biggest Fall and Winter business since
1880 frightened Silk was slightly
lower.
Industrial staples continued the up
trend that has carried the index to new
high ground for the year in each Of
the past eight weeks. Steel bulets
were marked up 81 ton on the 1st
of the month. All lines Of steel pro-
duction have been improving, although
heavy items have pushed ahead more
Bituminous coal, tin and
lumber also picked up, while rubber
and burlap slipped back fractionally.
Food Prices Ease.
Food prices were under pressure.
Flour was off. Sugar continued to

NEW YORK. October 3-Freed
from uncertainty over the immediate
effect of devaluation of the French
franc, foreign exchange dealings to-
day were within narrow ranges, with
most of the leading European cur

DEGREES issued today reducing i'm
port duties on many raw and man

toward removal Of world trade re-
strictions. Many American exports to
France were affected.
1t was pointed out in some quarters
that the DEGREES. attributed to the
governments desire to prevent abrupt
price rises, would diminish the un-
favorable effect, as far as American
exporters were concerned, of the
franc devaluation.

CHICAGO, October 3.-Drought
has not altered financial district hopes
that the farm implement industry's
1886 results will be the best in at least
six years.
As q matter Of fact, many observers
today were wondering what gains the
agricultural tool makers might have
experienced had 1t not been for the
drought which took q heavy toll Of
crops.
There was period in July, during
the height of crop damage, when re-
ports of order cancellation for CON-
bines, spreaders and other implements
were received from various sources.
However, sharply higher farm prices,
benefiting growers whose crops sur
vived, gave the general agricultural
picture q more rosy tinge. Recently
reports of heavy planting in the
Southwest Winter wheat region and Of
improved moisture conditions through.
out most Of the farm belt have added
