Stock Averages

NEW YORK. May 15.-The stock
market worked up a mild raliying
temperature in the early part OF to-
days proceedings, but c0Cleo of
considerably before the close.
There was a modest expansion OF
volume in the first hour. From
then on the pace slowed and trans
fers for the five hours were around
3000 900 shares. or in line with the
apathetic performances of the past
several weeks.
Gains ran to a point or so for
favorites at the start. At the finish
advances were substantially reduced
or erased in many cases and the
final tone was no better than steady.
The forenoon pickup was attribut-
ed partly to the further waning Of
European war fears in the wake
of Mussolini's more conciliatory than
expected speech.
Faint hopes of tax revision con-
tlnued as Treasury and congression-
al authorities met with the President
at the White House to discuss what
could be done in this matter.
Recovery omens were few and far
between on the economic horizon,
but opinions were to be heard here
and there that a number of indus
trial lines may be dragging bottom.
Steel shares backed away when
this weeks mill operations were esti-
mated off l.6 points at asa of ca
pacity, the lowest rate, except for
the Christmas week, since last Sep
tember.
Brooklyn Union Gas and Kroger
Grocery edged into new high ground
for the year before slipping. Kro-
ger was the liveliest of the list,
apparently rejecting expectations
of better things for the chain stores.

Chrys|er Charges
Discrimination in
Freight Rates
Calls on Commission
To Include Situation
In Investigation
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Chrysler Corp. notified the
Interstate Commerce Commission
today it intended to show in a forth
coming investigation that it had suf-
fered discrimination in the struc-
ture of freight rates on new auto
mobiles.
Parker McCollester. Chrysler
counsel, said in a letter to the COM
mission that 'it has been reported
that others have endeavored to keep
this issue from being raised in the
present proceedings, but we will sub
nit that it constitutes one of the
principal issues as to the existing
rate structure and that if not gone
into, the investigation will be in
complete, unfair to us and preferen-
tial of our competitors
The commission ordered the in
vestigation of freight rates on new
automobiles last January 27 and
asked Interested parties to state in
advance, if possible, the issues they
proposed to raise.
Among other things" the Chrys-
Ter lawyer wrote, I'VE propose to
show that the railroads have gone
much farther in meeting truck and
drive-away competition from the
assembly plants of our competitors
than they have from our plants and
that the discrimination resulting
therefrom has been. aggravated by
the suspension by the commission of
reduced rates from Detroit, while it
has declined to suspend reduced
rates published by the railroads
serving plants of our competitors
and other points"

German Agreement
On Foreign Credits
PI eases Bankers
New 'Stundstill' Plan
Eases Restrictions
On Payments
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, May 15.-The annual
"standstill' meeting of foreign bank
ers having foreign credits in Ger
many with representatives of the
German Reichsbank ended today
with the issuance of communique
saying the fortnight-long conference
was successful"
The chief success of the meeting
was said to be an arrangement
whereby "standstill" credits are no
longer tied up as severely as hith-
erto.
So-called travel marks will again
form an important factor for reduc-
ton of foreign credits which have
been gradually reduced from 6,0OO,-
100000 marks in 1881 to 780,000,0O0
at the end of February this year.
The agreement between repre-
sentatives of foreign creditors and
VIC AsCiSlAoUdilh Will I'LL lOl Ollc
year.
Creditors are extended the privi-
lege of additional recommercializing
OF frozen credits in proportion as
they are willing to give new long
term credits outside the "standstill'
arrangement.
No effort was made by the Reichs-
bank to reduce the interest rate.
Reichsbank President Walther Funk,
during the Leipzig Fair in March,
1888, declared the interest was too
high for German dignity"
The fact that he did not press
this point now was taken as indi-
cation by foreign bankers that the
Reichsbank wants to retain what
foreign goodwill it can.
The American delegation was
headed by Harvey D. Gibson, chair
man of the board and president of
the Manufacturers Trust Co. of New
York.
"The "standstill" agreement was
negotiated with foreign creditors
after the Central European financial
crisis in 1881 precipitated a flight
of funds from Berlin, draining for
eign exchange and gold reserves. It
was aimed to permit gradual and
orderly withdrawal of American and
other foreign credits as Germany
obtained the exchange to repay
short-term obligations.
