Prices Steady to Is Cents
Lower; Heavy Butchers
Higher.

The pork market, influenced by
heavy receipts at surrounding live
stock centers, displayed three
way trading range today at the In
dianapolis Union Stockyards.
Prices generally were steady to
Is cents lower than yesterdays av-
erage, excepting some heavy butcher
grades which advanced 10 to Is
cents. Although receipts were esti-
mated at only 5000, competition was
light in the various classes due to
light demand prevailing. This was
attributed largely to the limited
outside interest. Holdovers were

+ The bulk of 100 to 225 pounds
cashed in at $1040 to $1,000, while
medium weighty classes, from 225 to
275 pounds, sold at 5000 to $10.35.
Extreme heavies, scaling from 275
pounds and upward, brought ,$975

to $1025. Good packing sowS held
at $875 to $3.50.
With a liberal supply of slaughter
classes available, interest was linn

BRAZIL SIGNS PACT
ON FROZEN CREDITS
Thawing of S30,0o0,O0O Fund
Aimed Under Control
By United Press

by Onteu Press
WASHINGTON, Feb. 25.-An
agreement by which Brazil un-
dertakes to release to American
creditors a maximum of $780,
100000 of frozen exchange was
signed at the Brazilian embassy late
last week by Ambassador Oswal0o
Aranha and E. p. Thomas, presi-
dent Of the National Foreign Trade
Council.
The agreement was an out
growth of the recent reciprocal
trade pact signed by the Brazilian
and American governments. As
a result of negotiations conducted
by Secretary of State Cordell Hull,
Brazil undertook to release the
credits, for the purpose of stimu-
lating trade between the two ma
tons. The credits had been fro
zen before February, 1895, Brazil
having liquidated most of ner
commercial transactions since
then.
The new accord provided that the
Bank of Brazil would remit cash to
American claimants having claims
Of $4,000 or less, and for claims
larger than that amount would is
sue dollar certificates maturing in
So monthly installments.

INTEREST RATE
ON PUBLIC DEBT
DROPS SHARPLY
Average Charges Paid at
End of 1885 Lowest
in 19 Years.

Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-The aver
age rate of interest paid on the
public debt at the end of 1885 was
the lowest since 1916, according to
an article published in Financial
World. A more manageable public
debt by a more even distribution of
maturitieS was effected last year by
the Treasury Department, the
article stated.
This accomplishment was largely
the result of successfully refunding
the last of the war bonds, pro-
gram which had its inception in
October, 1888.
"As at present constituted, the
debt is probably in better condition
from the standpoint of maturities
than for some years past. 1t is in
teresting to draw a comparison OF
its construction on Dec. 81, 1885,
with three years earlier.
Next Maturities 1941
Currently there are no bonds
maturing before 1941, although
there are, of course, note and bill
maturities. Between 1941 and 1860
the amount of bonds maturing in
any single year is not in excess of
81, 700, 600, 900. Besides, there are no
maturities in 1912, 1914, 1850, 1851,
1858, 1857, 1858 and 1859, interim
periods which may be utilized in the
event of short-term financing of
maturities approaching those dates.
1.-THE amount of debt maturing
within five years was larger at the
end of 1885 than on Dec. 81, 1882.
Maturities of Treasury bills up to
nine months increased from $780,
100000; certificates of Indebtedness
creased from s.. 1900, 1000, 900 to spe-
cial issue of $3.50 100000, and Treas
ury notes, all of which mature
within five years, increased from
$4,000, 100000 to $4,000, 900, 000. The
amount of notes maturing during
each year varies from 81, zoo, 000, 900
to $2,9O0,000, 1000.
"At the close of 1882, in contrast,
the government was faced with the
problem of retiring slightly more
than $6,000,000,000 of Fourth Az per
cent Liberty Loan bonds on or be-
fore Oct. Is, 1888. The last of these
was exchanged during 1885. The
next maturity was slightly less than
81 100000 of bonds in 1913; ST.
400,000,000 in 1947; less than $1,000
100000 each in 1949 and 1852; ST.
100000 billion in 1854; $500 ,000,-
900 in 1855. and $500, 1000, COO in 1856
Lower Interest Rates
aside from the better distribu-
ton of debt, refundings have been
undertaken at lower interest levels,
bringing the average rate of interest
paid on the debt at the end of 1885
to 2.55 per cent, the lowest since
1916, when, at the end of the fiscal
period June 80, the rate averaged
2.376 per cent. Only year ago.
Dec. 81, 1884, the average interest
rate was 2.96 per cent.
"The interest bearing debt on
Dec. 81, last, totaled $500 600, 00C
on which annual interest charges
averaged $75o,O00,oOO. Three years
earlier that debt amounted to $780,
400,000,000. carrying on interest
charge of 100000. Expressed in
another way, the debt increased "A
per cent, while the interest cost dis
closed only a Z per cent additional
burden"
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-25

tons with those who deal with the
government. But far more impor-
tant is the fact which is equally
yividly illustrated, of the low
standard of dealing which business
itself tolerates.
This practice of giving gratuities,
favors, presents to buyers and pur-
chasing agents of corporations in
order to purchase their good will
and increase sales is so widespread
that more than once various bust
ness organizations have arisen to
denoEnce it and put an end to it.
But the practice is SO widespread
and it is condoned in high quarters
on SO general a scale that not the
slightest Roadway can be made
against it.
Take the case of bankers who
have issues to sell. Their clients
in these sales are the corporations
whose shares they handle. Yet it is
a common practice for such bank
ing houses to give all sorts of pre-
ferred and profitable opportunities
to the officers of such corporations
land corporation officers are en-
ployes just as truly as office boys
are.
Then when the bonds are sold,
they are sold by being distributed
to the banks. The presidents of
the banks are also the employees Of
the banks stockholders. Wet it is
also common practice for invest
ment bankers to give inside po-
sitions to the presidents of the
banks they do business with. What
a magnificent spectacle a court
martial would be in Wall Street.
The stock market has been one
Of the most baleful instruments
for passing around commercial
brides to corporation officers and to
public officials.
TT is so easy to put you in a
j. stock" or a pool in the market.
And so pool operators, investment
bankers and corporation officials
with little plans to carry out, cut
another corporation official or
Banker, or public officer or news
paper man or writer, into some
Juicy position out Of which he can
make handful of money without
the operation resembling san open
bride any more than a lawyers fee
when he is a member of the legis-
lature.
Those who like to sheer at the
dishonesty of public Office would do
well to remember that graft in
public Office is trivial compared
With graft in business. He might
ponder on the severe ethical stand
ard to which the Army holds it's
very low-paid officers.
1t would be good thing if busi-
ness would create commercial
standard under which similar Of
tenders in business might be called
to book for "dishonoring the. serv-
ice."

STEEL OUTPUT
HIGHER DURING
LAST 3 YEARS
Receivers 49 Per Cent From
Low Point Reached
in 1890 80.
Times Special

Times Special
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Steel pro-
duction expanded in 1885 for the
third consecutive year. The output
of steel ingots last year was sos
per cent higher than in 1884 and
1903 per cent above the depreSsion's
low in 1892. Production in 1885.
however, was still 1876 per cent be-
low the predepression peak in 1929,
and represented the recovery Of only
400 per cent of the ground lost in
the 1930-32 period of curtailment.
according to the Alexander Hamu-
ton Institute.
The gain in steel output in 1885
over the 1884 volume was due to
the increase in the national income,
to the larger proportion Of the ma
tional income available for the pur-
chase of steel, to a more than ncr-
NAL amount of money spent on
steel as against less than normal
amount in the previous year and
to the fact that the increase in the
price of steel was only slight and
consequently failed by consider
able margin to Offset the expansion
in the amount of funds available
for the purchase of steel.
Price Shows Gain
However, the price of steel in 1885,
relative to the amount of money
available for the buying of steel,
was much higher than in 1929 The
amount of available money in 1885
was 47.8 per cent lower than N
1929. The amount of available
money in 1885 was Alb per cent
| lower than in 1929 while the price
level was lower by only rs per cent.
The fact that the index of the
money supply in 1885 was thus only
52.2 on the basis of 1929 as 100,
while the price index was 925, &C
counts for the lower output of steel
in 1885 than in 1929.
The steel price index advanced
from $50 at the low for the depres-
sion in 1888 to 92.5 in 1885, an in
crease of 88 per cent. The price
movement consequently retarded re-
covery, but it did not block recovery
because the index of the supply of
money rose from $50 in 1892 to 522
in 1885, an increase of 1888 per
cent.
One of the major factors accounts
ing for the relatively high price Of
steel in 1885 was the cost of labor.
Wage rates advanced from the de-
pression's low of $40 cents an hour
in 1888 to 662 cents an hour in
1885.
Wage Rates Higher
Wage rates last year were only
1.8 per cent lower than in 1929
when they amounted to STA cents
an hour. The rise in the cost of
food was primarily responsible for
this increase in wage rates. While
working hours we're increased from
1868 hours week in 1888 to 402
