NEW GOLD MOVE
LDCOMPROM|SE
Decision to Allow Portion of
Metal in Credit Chan.
neIs Hailed.
By GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. Feb. 15.-The most
| active market and the one In which
There is the greatest interest is still
that of the foreign exchanges
The series of Washington confer
ences participated in by Secretary
Morgenthau of the Treasury, Chair
man Eccles of the Federal Reserve
Board and other authorities has been
the dominating influence. Both in
Europe and on this side, it was taken
for granted that monetary measures
of one kind or another were under
consideration.
Announcement by Secretary Nor
genthau of a plan, under which up
to S400,000.0 900 worth OF gold which
may come into the United States in
any year will be permitted to flow
into the Nations credit base and re-
expense Of borrowing money to pay
for the gold and keep it inactive,
proved to be compromise
Regarded As Logical Step.
1, was not believed in Wall Street
at least. whatever London or Paris
may think, that any new depreciation
of our currency unit in terms Of gold
was probable or even possible On
the other hand, a decision to desteri-
lize all or part of the gold in the
inactive fund would not have been
surprising. Temporarily at least.
that would obviate the necessity of
open market borrowing no small mat
ter with the national debt at a record
high.
In the opinion of this writer, gold
desterillzation is the best way out
The inactive fund was set up originally
for two reasons: first. to check expan-
sion of the credit base and so forestall
credit imitation. and. second, to insure
against iarge-scale outflow of gold
which might dangerously narrow that
same credit base. There is no occasion
for concern as to credit imitation now.
1t is def1ation which is the danger at
the moment. There would seem to be
no convincing argument on this score
against allowing the sterilized gold to
play its normal part in our banking
economy. As to now unforeseen with
draWals, our gold holdings are so large
that no probable drain on them would
be dangerous
Previous Action Cited.
The deSterilizing device was resorted
to before to the amount of $500 .0OG 900.
without any unfavorable effect. A case.
OF course, can be made out against
disturbing the fund again. but what
ever is done involves some risk. and
this looks like the best thing to do
under the circumstances. President
Roosevelt's request for additional re-
lief funds will have to be granted, and
the Treasury will have to supply them.
If that means degree of initiation
there is no help for it.

Bedtime Stories.
By THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Who won't give up though come what may
Is almost sure to win that way
Old Mother Nature

Johnny CHUCK was in a tight
place. 1t was tight place in more
ways than one. He was squeezed in
between two big stones of a pile in
the Old Pasture. He just filled that
space. Had he been even a little fat
he couldn't have squeezed in there.
So you see that that was a tight
place. Out in front. glaring at him,
sat Reddy Fox, and if Reddy should
continue to stay there Johnny would
either starve to death or have to
come out and fight for his life with
the chances in favor of Reddy F. ok.
Yes, Johnny Chuck was in a tight
place. There was no mistake about
that. He knew it. Reddy Fox knew it.
At first Reddy, who had been sure
that he was going to catch Johnny,
was rather upset. He couldn't get
hold Of Johnny to pull him out. All
that was outside those stones was a
mouthful OF sharp teeth that Reddy
had no desire to feel. That is why he
suddenly found himself not so nun
cry for a Chuck dinner as he had
thought he was. He snarled at
Johnny, who was snarling at him.
Reddy had been so sure of catching
Johnny this time That the disap-
pointment was doub.y hard to bear.
So instead of giving up and leaving
ne remained right there to threaten
Johnny and tell him what he
Thought of him.
Then it came to Reddy that if he
couldn't get Johnny out, neither could

leaves. It was very faint, but Reddy
knew 1t for what 1t was, the sound
made by tiny feet. There was .
Mouse running about in the leaves a
little way of to one side. He glanced
over at Johnny Chuck. Johnny ap-
peared TO be half asleep. Slowly,
carefully Reddy got to his feet. He
had made no sound. His black ears
were set sharply forward as he looked
toward the place where he had heard
that rustling. There 1t was againl

stretched out comfortably and pre-
pared for long wait.
Now Johnny. Chuck was well aware
OF what tight place he was in. He

safe now and I'm not going to give
up hope. Something may happen.
That fellow thinks he has fooled me-"
Johnny said this to himself rather
scornfully. "He hasn't. I can't see
him, but know he is hiding near
by, waiting for me to leave here.
He'll wait a long time"
So Johnny Chuck remained in
retreat and Reddy Fox remained in
his hiding place. and time slipped
away and slipped away and slipped
away. Johnny showed no signs of
leaving and Reddy didn't disclose his
presence. Johnny Chuck did begin
to wonder if after all he might not

him told him that he wasn't. He
grew hungrier and hungrier, but since
he had wakened from his long win
ter sleep food had been very scarce
indeed and he had learned to 20
hungry. So Johnny was patient. 1t
might be that Reddy had left and
that he was being held a prisoner
there by fear alone. Even so this
was better than making the mistake
OF running right into Reddys Jaws
Reddy also was hungry. He wasn't
in quite such need of food as
Johnny Chuck. but he was hungry
and as time slipped away he didn't
grow less so. But he, toe, had pa
tience. 1t was afternoon. Reddy's

Reddy recovered his good nature.

Cotton Prices Move
Little During Week,
Trade Gains Help.
Nearby Deliveries Climb
While More Distunt
Contracts Go Down
BY the Associated Press.

~ eAic AooVSastCu IACbos
NEW YORK, Oct. 3l.-Prices of
cotton registered only slight changes
from day to day last week, and
little change for the week as a
whole. In the futures market, the
principal feature was the wide
fluctuations of the spreads between
prices for the various deliveries.
Nearby deliveries advanced and dis
tant deliveries declined.
The principal price influence,
traders said. was continued heavy
movement of cotton into the Gov
ernment loan stock. The rising
trend Of general business, leading to
expectations of larger domestic con-
sumption of cotton, also tended to
support prices, trade quarters re-
ported.
Selling of cotton by first hands
in the South continued light, in
consequence Of diversion of cotton
to the Government, and sales of
futures for hedging purposes were
consequently small for this time
Of the year. Buying of futures con-
tracts by mills for price fixing pur-
poses, together with some domestic
speculative and foreign buying,
readily absorbed offerings, particu-
larly in near months.
Confirmation of the belief that
we'll over 100000 bales of 1898
cotton have entered the Govern
ment loan stock was seen in the
report issued by the Commodity
Credit Corp. on Friday. That re-
port showed only about 1906, 600
bales of the new crop held as Gov
ernment collateral, but it was recog-
nized that several hundred thou
sand bales had to be added to that
figure to cover loans not yet re-
ported to Washington. With do
mestic consumption OF cotton point
ing upward, tight position has
developed in the nearer future de-
lverieS, cotton experts said.
The trade noted with interest re-
ports that prices of foreign cotton
have not risen as much as prices
of American cotton in recent weeks.
The implication most read into this
was that foreign spinners are likely
