SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 13.-The
Chronicle said last night four Fed
eral agencies were conducting an in
vestigation of an ornaments ring
which had offered arms and muni-
tionS valued at between S5 100000
and 100000 for sale Illegally in the
San Francisco Bay area.
The newspapers story recounted:
The armaments were cached in
this area, but the investigation was
being pressed also in New York,
Mexico and Los Angeles. The war
materials reputedly were offered to
belligerentS in the present war and
to revolutionary parties in Central
and South America.
The Federal Bureau of InveStiga-
tion, Army and Navy Intelligence
Departments and the cutsoms serv-
ice are engaged in tracing down the
ornaments. as we'll as the ringleaders.
The F. B. L listed the following
materials: 100, 1000 Mauser rifles,
caliber 1872, at S35 so each; 10000
military rifles, caliber 1903, at S25
each; hand and rife grenades, at
$3.50 and S155 each trench mortar
shells of various sizes; 100000 900
cartridges, caliber 1872. at $37 per

caliber, at S26 per 1000, and new type
small airplane drop bombs at SIPS
each. Gas masks in lots of 10000 for
S4.75 each also were offered for sale.
The armaments were shipped here
over a period of several months, ap-
parently as part of a plan which
failed to get them in the hands of
prospective buyers before the Euro
pean war started. Emergency regu-
lations initiated to preserve Amer
lean neutrality have made delivery
impossible.
No comment was available from
agencies reported involved in the
investigation.

Cotton Futures Show
Little Change al
Close Of Week
Active Deliveries or
z to 8 Points From
Previous Period
By the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July l7.-Cotton
prices moved over a fair range dur
ing the past week, but showed little
net chance for the period.
Actual future deliveries in the
New York Cotton Exchange were
down 2 to points at the close on
Saturday as compared with a week
previous. During the course of the
week they had risen to new high lev
els for the current season and for
the lives of the current contracts.
Important market influences,
traders said, were the meeting at
Washington on the cotton export
subsidy, and crop developments.
While no official statement of the
terms OF the subsidy program was
issued at or after the meeting in
Washington, it was reported in some
circles the subsidy rate might be
between one and two cents a pound.
This was in line with earlier rumors.
The new crop has made better
progress during the past week than
in recent previous weeks, due to a
letting up or cessation of rains over
large areas which have had exces-
sive precipitation.
Due to the great shortage of cot
ton in merchandising channels in
this country. and the prospect of
an export subsidy later, exports are
continuing to run very small. Dur
ing the last four weeks they have
totaled only LOT 900 bales. compared
with lat 900 in the like weeks last
year.
ForWardings of American cotton
from foreign ports to foreign mills
are likewise running very light.
They have totaled only 226,O00 bales
III the last four weeks. compared
with $4,000 in the same weeks in
1898.
Meanwhile, the movement of for
elgn cottons continues heavy. For
Wardings of foreign cotton from
ports of Great Britain to mills of
that country during the last four
weeks have totaled 141,0OO bales.
compared with $1,000 in the same
weeks last year.

F. D. I.C. Fears Rise
In Losses Unless
Power Is Widened
Congress Warned Boost
In Assessments Will
Be Forced
BY the Associated Press.

The Federal Deposit Insurance
Corp. warned Congress today that
. unless it gets new powers to prevent
dissipation Of bank capital, it will
have to increase eventually its pres
ent one-twelfth of ! per cent assess
ment on deposits of insured banks.
The corporation. which guarantees
deposits up to $1,000 per depositor
In 1851 banks, said in its annual
report:
The corporation believes that
provision will have to be made for
assumption of losses in excess of the
present rate of assessment, unless
deposit insurance is accompanied by
supervisory action to prevent the
dissipation of bank capital through
excessive dividends without provision
for losses. and by provision for re-
lleving the banks of the necessity, to
which they have been subjected in
the past because of heavy withdraw
ais and inadequate rediscount facili-.
ties, OF liquidatlng assets at sacri-
flee values during periods of crisis.
IF the cost of deposit insurance
is to be kept low, bank supervision
cannot be weakened or DETECTED
from its primary objective-the
maintenance of sound banks"
The corporation made it plain
however that its warning was strict
ly precautionary and did not reflect
any probability OF heavy bank losses.
In fact, it made public a tabula-
tion estimating that on the last
date the banks were examined their
assets were valued at 985 per cent
of book value" IN other words, the
banks faced probable losses on poor
securities or uncollectable loans
amounting to only Is per cent of
total assets.
Last year, the corporation said, "a
insured banks failed or were merged
with sound banks to prevent fail
ures and 1896 per cent Of the 20l,-
437 deposits of the closed banks were
paid off IN full Total payments
amounted to S30465 600 for which
the F. D. l. c. was reimbursed, in
part, from the assets of the closed
banks, the F. D. l. c. loss being 14.S
per cent of the total payments.
