BY the Associated Press.


AMSTERDAM. Aug. 15.-Ameri-
can dollar creditors of the suspend
ed banking house of Mendelssohn g.
Co. include the New York Trust
Co., $8,000,000; the Manufacturers
Trust Co., s4,O0O,O0o; the Chemical
Bank & Trust Co., $2,000000, and
the Chase National Bank, 81 ,000 900,
1t was disclosed today.
Loans which had been made by
New York banks to Mendelssohn e.
Co. were in all cases fully secured
by stock exchange collateral it was
said at the various banks today.
While the amounts in the list of
creditors given out at Amsterdam
were as of last Friday, when the
bank suspended, it was understood
they since had been reduced in many
cases.
Although the New York Trust Co.
appears as the largest creditor, the
entire sum was not advanced by
that bank alone. 1t headed a syn
dicate of seven banks, six of which
are located in other cities.
The Indebtedness to the New York
Trust Co., it was learned, had been
reduced to $3,000,000 and that to the
Manufacturers Trust Co. to $3.50, ,000

Railroads 10 Change
Demurrage, Storage
Rules October |
Receivers Of Freight
To Get More Time
For Moving Goods
BY the Associated Press.

6S tNe hSSOCldteQ fIeSS.
The Association of American Rail-
roads announced yesterday that ef-
fective October ! it would revise it's
demurrage and storage rules SO to
give receivers Of freight a longer
period for removal of goods from
railroad terminals.
The association said the changes
were made at the suggestion of
the regional shippers advisory
boards, the National Industrial
Traffic League and individual ship
pers and receivers of freight.
One amendment will permit a re-
ceiver of less-than- carload lot
freight five days. rather than the
present four, in which to claim the
freight before it is subject to storage
charges.
Another will permit consignee of
less-than-carlot freight, who is To-
Gated from 10 to 80 miles from the
receiving freight station, 10 days,
rather than S, in which to claim the
shipment.
At present, railroads permit two
days for loading or unloading car.
A further four-day extension is
granted at a charge of $3.50 daily.
At the expiration of that time a pen
atty rate of $3.50 daily is charged.
Under the new amendments the
penalty will be reduced to $3.50.
Other revisions grant additional
time allowance without charge when
weather conditions delay loadings
and grant 70 hours free time for
loading or unloading of cars which
contain at least twice the minimum
weights prescribed by tariffs.

Chemical Consumption
Far Ahead of 1898
Special Dispatch to The Star.

NEW YORK, Aug. 15-Seasonal
influences were responsible for mod
crate declines in the movement of
such commodities as pigments, dry
colors, fertilizer materials, but many
other chemicals found a ready mar
ket in the past month and opti-
mistic views are held generally both
regarding the current tonnage
movement and the outlook for the
next two or three months.
The preliminary index of Chem
ical and Metallurgical Engineering
places chemical consumption in July
at slightly above 116, which COM
pares with 9266 for July last year.
Operating rates have been speeded
up this month in some of the large
consuming industries, including ray
on, textiles. rubber, steel and metal
lurgfcal, glass and coal products.
This points to rising trend for
the chemical index for August, with
seasonal influences favoring marked
advances in September and October.
