Wholesale markets were slow to
get started after the extended week
end rest, the review stated, but most
industrial plants resumed with op-
erations holding close to the late
August rate
Needs of returning vaca tionists
were 50 diversified and broad that
virtually all retail offerings were in

agency stated. Demand shifted ABB
ruptly from clearance and promo

PARIS. September 10.-A worried
national treasury today saw the franc
dive to 1895. the lowest point since
It was freed June 30 to seek its nat
ural level"
Bankers attributed no small part
OF the money trouble to the dangerous
state Of affairs In the Mediterranean.
They said holders of francs had been
unloading because OF fears of a Medi-
terranean conflict and resultant dam
age to French interests there. Heavy
government borrowings and increased
banknote circulation at home also
were factors in the plunge.
On the face of the lowest quotations
today. tourists now jamming Paris for
the exposition will receive I.4a francs
more for each dollar than they got
two days ago. But while IL may be A
boon to visitors. the fall OF the franc
brought dire forebodings from the
French, who have seen the cost of liv-
ing rise steadily with its decline.
The Bank of France statement for
the week ended September 2 showed
the treasury had taken another s0o.-
100000 francs in loans without inter-
est, bringing the borrowing total TO

Leading Washington clergymen
descended on the District Build.

Control Boards proposal that it
be given discretionary power to
license package-goods liquor stores

In opposition to the clergymen,
Representative Vincent L. Palmi.
Sano CD of Maryland led the
fight in favor of the boards pro-
posal. Under present regulations,
the board may not issue certain
liquor licenses within 400 feet of a
church unless written consent of
the church is obtained.
The board proposed to the Dis
trict Commissioners that an
amendment be added to the regu-
lationS by which it be given dis
cretionary to license package
goods stores in business districts
within 400 feet of a church. The
board pointed out the present rule

All agreed that the present rule
should be kept in effect and sew
eral detailed instances in which
churches played the leading part
in having liquor establishment
licenses turned down because of
too close proximity to religious
establishments.
Representative Palmisano told
the board he thought sentiment of
a neighborhood should govern in
all cases of liquor licenses. He said
