BIG GOLD HOARD
BEGINS To MOVE
New Shipments Declared
Sign Metal Is Coming
Out of Hiding.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 13.-Fresh ar
rivals OF large amounts of gold from
England have been accepted in some
financial quarters as evidence of a
big "de-hoarding" movement, revers-
ing the depression tendency to cling
to the yellow metal as a refuge against
currency depreciation.
A huge shift of gold from London to
New York has been on since the
French franc, the Holland guilder and
the Swiss franc last September finally
followed the British pound and the
American dollar on the devaluation
trail.
From the perspective of the last six
months, it appears this fall of the So
called gold bloc" which many
economists heralded as marking vir-
tual completion of the depression
circles of currency depreciation, was
the signal for temperance of hun
dreds of millions of dollars in gold
which had gone underground" dur
ing the prolonged period of uncer-
tainty over currency outlook.
AS the worlds leading free gold
market, London harbored a great, but
uncounted amount of metal outside
recorded bank reserves for account of
those who wished to guard capital
against possibility of devaluation.
Some estimates of the amount ran
up to ST 900, 0000oo or more. The big
mr. ont ~ ,oto To
London in the meanwhile has given
substance to the estimates.
Since September, the main source
of gold imports has been London.
Running at the rate of about s75 ,000,-
600 earlied in the year, there have
been indications of an acceleration
of the movement lately partly as re-
suit of disposal of large amounts of
Russian gold for sterling
More than $50,000,000 was reported
to have left London for New York in
three days last week. The New York
Federal Reserve Bank reported arrival
of s19,204,20O from London over the
week end
Aside from dehoarded metal, the
movement was regarded as an indi-
Gator of increasing world production
of newly mined metal. Much of the
new gold is sold in the London mar
ket including the output of South
African mines, the largest producers.
Meanwhile the rise in basic COM
modities accompanying the heavy flow
of metal from London to New York
seems to bear out predictions of some
authorities last year that dehoarding
of gold would be potent force toward
raising world price levels.

WHOLESALE INDEX
DECLINES IN WEEK
Fertilizer Association Finds
Average at 1872, Against
1877 Previously.

A reaction in commodity prices last
week resulted in a moderate down.
turn in the weekly wholesale COM
modify price index compiled by the
National Fertilizer Association.
This index in the week ended April
10 was 1872 per cent of the 1926-1928
average, compared with 887 in the
preceding week, s7.8 month ago and
1863 year ago.
Five Of the II principal group in
dexes declined during the week, while
only two advanced. The third consecu-
tive weekly decline was registered by
the index of food prices, taking it to
the lowest level reached since the first
week in March.
Lower prices for cotton, live stock
and eggs resulted in a decline in the
farm product index in spite of the
continued rise in the price of corn.
The index of grain prices was at a
new high point for the recovery period,
SO per cent above a year ago.
The first important reaction in
metal prices in many months occurred
last week, with copper, tin, lead and
zinc showing rather sharp declines.
Although most cotton textiles as we'll
as wool, burlap and hemp moved
higher last week, the textile price in
dex fell of slightly, due to lower quota
tons for cotton and silk.
A slight upturn in the building ma
terial index, caused by higher prices
for brick and linseed oil, took it to a
new high point for the recovery period.
