Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 21.—Banks with surplus funds and no convenient place to put them will shortly have an op- | short-term lcan. The United States Treasury is preparing to borrow, about | the middle of next month, an amonnt dollars. The new loan will take the form of certificates of indebtedness. This wi welcome to bankers, because they pre- fer that type of Government borrowing rather than the newfangled non-interest- bearing Treagyry bills which the Gov- ermnment has been issuing in recent months. ‘The advantage to banks of certificates of indebtedness is that subscriptions en- tail no cash outlay. A bank can buy the certificates simply by crediting the United States Treasury with the amount of its subscription. That subscription goes on the books as a Government de- + | posit, to be drawn upon later when the Treasury needs the money. The non- interest-bearing Treasury bill. No credits are allowed as a substitute for the coin of the realm. Fewer Certificates. Since resorting to non-interest-bear- ing bills the Treasury has been issuing certificates in smaller amounts than previously. Because of the diminishing supply of certificates banks are glad to hear of a new issue. ‘This new loan will be sold to provide funds for two maturing short-term loans. One is an issue pf 3’5 per cemnt certificates of indebtedness amounting to $350,000,000, while the other is a bill issup totaling $50,000,000. The cer- tificates fall due September 15, while the notes are payable a little _later. While the Treasury has not indicated how large the new issue will be, it is reasonably certain to equal the amount of the maturing loans and possibly will exceed them. Increased expenditures for farm lief running into many rhillions, to- gether with declining customs and in- come tax receipts, have altered the financial position of the Government materially. Uncle Sam is not as “flush” as he was before the crash of last Fall. As a result it has not been re- the way the Government had been AUGUST | portunity to buy a new Government! | estimated around four hundred million | on_the | other hand, is a cash subscription loan. ; possible to reduce the public debt in | doing over a period of years.

The Government had to pay 47 per cent for that loan. It will do a great deal better this year. If the open market rates for moneyy on or about September 15 are what they are today, the Treasury prob- ably could borrow on a.short-term note at a rate of 24 per cent. It may even be that it will be able to make better terms. The term of the loan will be a factor, as well as the open market money rates at the time of issue.

Specin] Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, August 21.—Trading on the Cotton Exchange today disclosed characteristics similar to those dis- played the past two days and a decided- 1y more two-sided course of prices pre- vailed, After selling off 10 points on a lower range of quotations in Liverpool, cover- ing operations on the part of an ex- tensive short interest were resumed and an improvement of $1 a bale resulted before midday. After making new low recofds for the ninth consecutive day, something unique in the history of the exchange, the mar- ket ran into more buying power around 10% for October than the present hedging movement in the South could supply. This offered the first definite resistance during a 2-cent break in 10 days and a recovery of 1, Tuesday was followed by a 10-point further gain at the close Wednesday and December sold around 11.35 today, 45 points up from the bottom. For the moment the market had de- clined faster than the supply of hedges, as the crop movement is still in its earliest stages. (Copyright, 1930.) . FOREIGN EXCHANGES. (Quotations furnished by W. B.

NOTORNOLSTRY PLANS FORFUTLRE Indications of Immediate Up- ward Trend in Demand Still Is Lacking. FRP By the Assocated Press. DETROIT, August 21:—Still lac klns any indication of an immediate upwar trend in demand for new cars, thé automobile industry is continuing the building of a solid foundation for fu- ture business. It was just about 12 months ago that the producers of motor cars began to realize they had far over- shot the requirements of the trade and | had built many more thousands of auto- mobiles than theil dealer organizations could dispose of. Although the description is not rel- ished in the automobile industry, con- ditions resulting from the overproduc- tion and the coincident business de- pression were close to “chaotic.” Deal- ers’ sales quotas had been constantly increased. But with the industrial re- cession and consequent unemployment that followed last Fall's stock market crash, motor car makers l.mma- diately realized their dealer organiza tions could not keep up the pace let for them and a reconstruction of the entire production scheme in the auto- mobile industry began. The reconstruction work still is effect, and already several motor e executives profess to see a perfiect level~ ing off of production and demand. T! | perfect ~balance between supply an | demand may not be fully attainable be- cause of the highly competitive nature of the industry, but the condition that was faced last Fall with a surplus of more than 800,000 units is one which the leading motor car makers propose e | to avoid In the future. It is\an interesting fact that sales to consumers during the last few weeks have not measured up to the most con- servative estimates, despite the gener- ally lowered price range, which have made all classes of cars cheaper than they ever have been. ‘The lowered price range is part of the industry's effort to solidify its fu- ture business foundation, and lndlcl that overproduction still is bein os posed of. Not & few of the progucers in announcing price reductions frankly have stated they were designed to clear the way for new models shortly to be brought out. In other cases dealers have been permitted individually to cut prices to relieve overstocking. Tt is almost one of the traditions of the automobile industry that whenever | & reduction is announced in the popue | lar-price field, rumors of a price-cut- ting war gain circulation. It may be said on good authority, however, that the retail price of most, if not all mod- els of automobiles, already has been reduced to the point where the margin of profit is too slim to permit any further marking down. On the con= trary, many of the recentl: reductions may have to be rescinded when they have served the purpose of clearing out overstoc! and new models contemplated come ‘from the production lines. Aside from all other considerations, the automobile Andlufi'!. as a whole, is more concerned right now in building a substantial basis for future business it is in the ends that might be served by a general price= cutting competition. — Rumors of a reduction of American Cyanamid's dividend are baseless.
