Tone Spreads; Early Gains Become Losses New York,’ Feb, -2.—()—Bullish vaporings ofa “war. boom”, which had been discredited in leading bank- ing quarters from the start, disappear- ed from the stock market Tuesday, and prices drifted quietly lower. i The market was firm for a time in| first hour, but rails soon turned reac- tionary, and a heavy tone spread throughout the list. Early gains of |AUD from fractions to about one point were replaced by losses of 1 to 4 or more. Trading, however, was ‘dull. , {Bat Rails lost most of the upturn of the previous session. Santa Fe declined more than 4, Union Pacific 3, and is- |Borg-Warner: sues off a point or more included| Southern Pacific, Pennsylvania, New York Central, and others. Coppers turned heavy, as the export price was cut. Miscellaneous issues off a point or so included U. S. Steel, Dupont, Allied Chemical, General Electric,.

FOREIGN INVESTMENTS IN CHINA ARE LISTED (Copyright, 1932, by the AP) The following summary of foreign investments in China has been made by C. F. Remer, professor of eco- Screen star, is the bride of Gabriel!nomics at the University of Mich- igan. Prof. Remer has been in gc eral charge of the study of foreign investments in China by committees representing Great Britain and Japan. American investments in China today total about $200,000,000. Of the total, $45,000,000 is invested in Chinese government securities. The remainder, $155,000,000 is direci business investment. Sixty-five per cent of the Ameri- can business investment in China is in Shanghai. There are in Shanghai 28 Ameri- can-owned factories worth $11,000,009. American-owned public utilities in Shanghai are valued at $35,000,000. Great Britain’s total investment in China is estimated to be $1,266,000,- 000; Japan's $1,153,000,000. Shanghai does 40 per cent of China's total foreign trade.

Only a few submarines, their moth- er ship Beaver, and a few naval auxi- Maries were left in the empty looking harbor. Maj. Gen. John L. Hines, command- er of the army's Philippine depart- ment, asserted the sudden troop movement was “in no way to be con- jSidered an act of hostility to either China or Japan.” The Red Cross here named com- mittees to handle the situation should American civilians be evacuated here from China. K. L. Kwonk, Chinese consul-gen- eral, announced he had been recalled. The 45th infantry arrived from Fort McKinley to. replace the. 31st infantry, which sailed aboard the transport Chaumont early this morn- ing 1,000 strong for Shanghai. Prev- jously eight destroyers, a cruiser and several auxiliary ships had sailed. TRADE FIGURES SHOW PLIGHT OF JAPANESE Washington, Feb. 2—(#)—Dollars and cents seasons back of Japan's in- vasion of Shanghai and the grave concern of other nations are shown Minot Police Chief: in the international trade figures for that port. Great Britain, with 9,331 nationals in the port, in 1930 sold goods in Shanghai to a value of $83,000,000. From this gateway to China’s prin- cipal trade artery, the Yangtse river, she drew $21,000,000. Both figures include the-trade of British India. ‘The U, 8. with 3,614 citizens there, exported to the Chinese port $79,000,- 000 worth and received imports total- ing $42,000,000. By contrast, Japan, almost at Shanghai's doorstep and with 25,650 subjects in Shanghai, sold there only $59,000,000 and purchased $19,000,000 of goods. To a greater or less degtee a Chinese economic boycott of Jap- anese goods has been in effect since 1928, and dates back for its origins to the famous 21 demands made in China. The boycott has resulted in Chinese merchants purchasing from : British India and other countries the cotton goods and silks they formerly obtained from Japan. State department officials say this boyeott was a potent factor in the be- ginning of trouble in Marchuria, 2s well as its subsequent extension to Shanghai. HUGH WILSON TO ACT FOR U. 8S.

Will Oppose Attacks Earlier in the day the Chinese is- sued a flat statement, declaring they! would oppose any further Japanese attacks within Chapei, but they would be careful to refrain from touching the foreign settlement. They declared there are now 15,000 Chinese troops in Shanghat. Chinese refugees, panicky over the new Japanese move, poured in a hu-|- man torrent into the city during the day, aggravating a situation that al- ready was serious enough. With the safety of Chinese in the international settlement lessened by the Japanese invasion of it, most of the refugees made for the French concession ad- jacent where a stern defense has beer: set up by the French troops. Traffic was jammed and backed up for blocks in the streets of the settle- ment as the motley throng of Chinese crushed through the gates. French Will Resist In the French concession, whither they were bound, an announcement bad been made that any attempt by the Javanese to enter would be re- sisted by force. Wire entanglements were erected around the French area and French soldiers were on guard) over them. The boundaries were pa- trolled by armored cars. The Chinese officials reassured the foreigners when they announced they would not enter the foreign conces- sions south of Soochow creek.
