A—14 wxk FIN RAISE IN BRITISH BANK RATE URGED Bank Economist Feels Higher Charge Will Aid Empire’s Finances. BY JOHN F. SINCLAIR. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, February 19.—Dr. B. M. Anderson, jr., economist of the Chase National Bank, told & Chicago audience last night that the British gold drain to Prance does not “grow out of funda- mental financial weakness, but to the British reluctance to raise the bank rate and tighten credit in London.” Dr. Anderson still feels that this is the right way out for Great Britain, supplementing it _possibly by a British funding loan in France and the United States. 2 “A readjustment of this kind ‘would, moreover, put British industry in a po- sition to share in a world business re- vival when it comes,” the doctor said. “An inflexible wage scale in one coun- try is difficult to maintain in a chang- ing world.” France has huge short-time credits both in London and in New York. She could embarrass England at any time by withdrawing a substantial part of these credits. and Great Britain knows it. ‘This situation has caused great un- easiness in banking circles in London. The suggestion of Dr. Anderson is an attempt to find a way out. Plan for Small Investors. George V. McLaughlin, president of . the Brooklyn Trust Co. has developed an interesting plan in connection with his trust department. The officials of the trust company ac- cept funds of $500 or more from its de- positors, merge them into $50,000 units and invest the proceeds in a diversified list of securities. It is really a fixed in- vestment trust for small investors. Al- though only originated in May, 1929, the company now has 122,995 units sold, with total investments aggregating about $11,500,000. On February 10, this money was in- vested as follows: Bonds, 22.59 per cent: preferred stocks, -36.11 per cent; common stocks, 28.33 per cent; mort- gages, 8.3 per cent, and cash 4.67 per cent. i The charges for administering the trusts are very small—1 per cent of the principal on entering and closing out the account, and '. per cent annually while it is in_force. Under this arrangement, the holder of the trust certificates is allowed to liquidate and get his meney at any time. He re- ceives, more or less, the amount he in- vested, depending upon the market value of the sécurities, which the trust holds at the time of his withdrawal. This experiment is being watched with interest by other trust companies. Railroad Expenditure. Are the railroads slipping? In the short-haul passenger traflic, yes: in the long-haul passenger traffic, maybe, and jn freight traffic, the backbone of the business, ne. ] Perhaps that is wh~ Gen. W.'W. At- terbury, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, announced yesterday that the Pennsylvania_expected to start imme- diately on the expenditure of some $175,000,000, the whole sum to be ex- pended within the next two and a half years instead of being spread over five ears. o ‘Where will this money go? First, to complete the electrification of all Penn- sylvania lines belween New York and ‘Washington: second, to complete the new Philadelphia terminal station now under way: third, to erect a new pas- s-nger station at Newark and a new bridge over the Passaic River; fourth, to abandon Manhattan Transfer and build a new bridge over the Delaware River; fifth, to make extensive im- provements around _Baltimore, and sixth, to remove scores of dangerous railroad crossings. If the action of Gen. Atterbury is In- dicative of what is going on in the minds of other railroad executives, the railroad industry should be the one to lead the Nation out of the depression. Charles Flint Retires. Charles R. Flint, “father of the trusts,” has at last decided to take it easy. He has announced his retirement from the business world, in which he has played so important a part during the last 40 years. During his career Mr. Flint organized 22 of the largest industrial corpora- tions in the United States, including the American Wecolen Company, the United States Rubber Co. and the In- ternational Business Machines Cor- poration. But this is not all of his work—far from it. He negotiated & treaty between Brazil and the United States and sold a navy to them. He carried for months a letter of credit, totaling $30,000,000, for Russia; he loaned in February, 1908, Orville ‘Wright and Wilbur Wright, airplane inventors, money to allow them to on their valuable work. t was two years ago. at the age of 80, that Mr. Flint astonished Wall street by going back to work again at the old office he had made famous a generation before. But now he has abandoned business | and has resolved henceforth to have a good time and see the world. Indian Situation, ‘The situation in India has improved a5 a result of the three-hour conference which Gandhi had yesterday with Lord Irwin, the viceroy of India. Gandhi has insisted all aicng that India shall be free to handie her own finances. Great Britain has never consented to this arrangement S Nevertheless, all reports coming out of India indicate that the severe ton- | sion which has gripped the nation since the release of Ganahi from prison has slackened considerably. Evel tion points to a bettcr state of affairs. That's good news for the business world New York to India in 11 days—this is the latest news from the airplane front. The 12,000-mile route from San Fran- cisco to Calcutta has been opened by the Imperial Airways of London. Rapid freight service from the United States 15 expected to be an important contribu- tion to the gross receipts Tied up with this will be another fast- freight service from E: nd to South Africa. This is the next route which will be opened by this same company. It probably is no exaggeration to write that within five years every part of the civilized world will be within a week's reach of every othei part.

RECENT STOCK ADVANCE Special Dispatch to The 8 NEW YORK ebruary 19.—The stock market is not in so good a techni- cal position for further advance this week as it a week 3go. After run- ning up an average of about 10 points, it had reach:d on'y 2 points to Satur- day’s closing, bul there was quite a change in speculative sentiment. For one thing it was felt that the weak part of the short interest had been run in, A great deal of discounting of a more favorable sentiment had ccgurred. Against this there are still many un- favorable corporation reports still to be published. However, the passage of the drought relief bill makes an extra ses- sion of Congress less probable. If jt is definitely proved this week that Con- gress will adjourn on March 4, this in itself will be a bullish argument that might easily overbaiance both technical and market conditions of a b-arish na- ture.

Special Dispatch to The Btar. NEW YORK, February 19.—With few exceptions bonds remained strong to- day. Prime issues were unchanged or a shade higher and at their best prices of the year. Second-grade obligations, where strength prevailed in the companion Stocks or earnings reporté were favor- able, advanced strongly. Speculative issues reflected a.more optimistic view- point on the part of the market, The best of the foreign dollar bonds kept to the same firm course. ¢ The exceptions were distributed in both domestic and foreign sections. In the domestic list the declines ware traceable chiefly to railroad eamings reports that have fulfilled the worst apprehensions of the Street, to weak- ness in the complementary stocks in the case of convertible bonds or to profit-taking, following substantial ad- vances of the past few sessions, In foreign bonds the Australian group was heavily depressed by a continued flood of selling orders, many of which originated in London, and Latin Amer- ican issues were heavy on reports of new political outbreaks in Paraguay and the fear of inflation coming in the wake of Cuba's scheme to issue her own currency. Time money rates were un changes. Volume was moderate. There was a total of about $4,500,- 000 in new issues, all of the high-grade type that has predominated in the new capital market since the turn of the year. The demand for these bonds still exceeds the supply and accounts for the extreme demand for short-term ac- ccommodation. Railroad bonds continued to show impressive strength in the prime sec- ton. Chicago, Burlington & Quincy general 4s and Northern Pacific 4s moved higher. Boston & Maine 5s ad- vanced following the restoration of Boston & Maine issues to the list of securities legal for savings banks and trust funds in New York State. The road’s return to a legal basis has been one of the quickest on record. . Firm levels or small gains character- ized the balance of the high-grade sec- tion In the junior list. St. Paul adjust- ments and St. Paul 5s both reflected a poor earnings reports. American & Foreign Power 5s, International Match 55 and International Telephone 5s mir- rored uncertainty over the Spanish and Latin American situations. Pathe Ex- change 7s were buoyed up by the strength in amusement securities gen- erally, as were Warner Bros. 6s, Para- mount-Publix 5'2s and Shubert Thea- ter 6s. In the foreign list, Australian S5s, New South Wales 5s, Brishane 5s and 6s and Queensland 6s and 7s declined 1 to 3 points. These bonds now stand around a 10 per cent yvield basis—with the exception of the Queensland issues —and are lower than at any time ‘n 1930. Chile’s 6s were off fractionally as the negotiations here for a debt ar- | rangement become more and more pro- tracted. Sao Paulo Coffee loan 7s were off a point. Minas Geraes 62s sagged. Cuban issues were also sold. German and other European credits remained strong. | Washington Stoc-l(EAxchange SALES. Potomac Electric 6s 1953—$1,000 at 1081 Washington Gas 6s A—$100 at 1015;.

BY BENNETT WOLFE, Associated Press Staff Writer, TULSA, Okla., February 19.—Clpuds of uncertainty have gathered to dim whatever rays of hope the midconti~ nent oil industry had been able to ate tract lately from the sun of prosperity, Developments in the past week, oute standing among which was Harry F. Sinclair's posting of & new 16w price for crude ofl in the Oklahoma City field, have increased apprehension in this ofl capital as to what the ime mediate future holds. The Sinclair move, regarded gen- erally by other oil men as a continua- tion of his fight on Oklahoma prora- tion practices, has added to the shakiness of the crude oil market and fears of a sharp reduction in prices are being voiced. Sinclair Offer. Sinclair offered 67 cents a barrel, nearly 40 cents under the prevailing posted prices, for 50,000 barrels daily of Oklahoma City oil. Oil men say Sinclair refineries need more oil than they have been getting since the sale of the Sinclair Crude Oil Purchasing Co. to the Standard Oil Co. of In- diana. In makjng the offer Sinclair declared attempfs were being put forth “to maintain a higher price in Okla- homa City than competition justifies.” ‘The unsteady crude market is not the only thing disturbing oil men. A weak gasoline market, accumulation of increased gasoline stocks and increased crude oil production are other dis- couraging factors. The gasoline market slipped again yesterday, midcontinent refiners quot- ing the United States motor grade at 37g to 5 cents a gallon, cr one-eighth of a cent under Monday's prices, These quotations are on tank car lots, f.0.b, the plants. American Petroleum Institute figures reveal an increase of 402,000 barrels in the country's gasoline stocks last week. This gain boosted the total stocks to 42,859,000 barrels and lessened the pros- pects for the industry to enter the Spring season with stocks undes 40,000,- 000 barrels, the figure recommended as ample inventory by the institute’s Com- mittee on Economics. The institute reports the country'’s daily average crude oil production in- creased 11.200 barrels last week, totaling 2,127,700 barrels. The “stripper” well problem, although diminished, remains as another question mark. Several thousand small oil wells in Southeastern Kavsas and Northeast- ern Oklahoma, called “strippers” be- cause their production had ceclined, were cut off from market January 1 by the Prairie Oil & Gas Co.’s withdrawal as a purchaser of crude oil . New Outlets. New market outlets have been ar- ranged temporarily for the bulk of this production in order to prevent destruc- tion of these properties, but several hun- dred of the small steady wroducers, many of which have been helping to give the world oil for 30 years, are still in_distress. _With these and other vexing ques- tions, the mid-continent oil industry awaits anxiously the developments of the days to come. While leaders have expressed confidence in the ability of the industry to hurdle the obstacles ahead and emerge eventually in a read- }Iels{fi?hlnd strgr‘nlger ‘posmon. they still el the immediate future is to brin trying times. % [DRAWBACKS IN DOLE SYSTEM ARE CITED Thorpe Says British Practice Has Kept People Patient With Idleness. By the Associated Press. Some disadvantages of the dole sys- tem as an aid to unemployment and distress were recounted in a recent radio talk by Merle Thorpe, editor of Nation's Business, official organ of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States. Mr. Thorpe said the system, particu- larly as applied in England, kept peo- ple patient with idleness and encour- aged them in the belief that they will be kept comfortable, or at least alive, even if they never do a stroke of hon- est work. In addition to killing initiative of the ! younger element, Mr. Thorpe said there were many instances whereby laborers could, by remaining idle, draw down more money weekly from the dole than could be gained by toil. With this con- dition existing, he said, there was little incentive to continue in their jobs. “Perhaps the worst abuses are to be found at the docks in the various ports.” Mr. Thorpe said. “Owing to the peculiar character of dock labor, it is provided in the law that no qualifying period is necessary, so_that if a dock worker is unemployed for a single day the can draw the dole for that day. 9674 1025 101 888 66 97% 94 1035 72 9474 9415 94 9514 9914 9915 98 97 100% 964 | 987 107 107 838, 923 | 101% 8% 7913 943 116 105% 38 424 813 86 98 6814 954 113% 94%4 991y 105% 102% 98 10114 109% 1047 109 100% 85% 104% 101% 93% 10735 This has led the dock workers to ar- range rotation of employment. Even if an employer wants to employ a man !full time he is not allowed by the trade junion to do so. The work is shared out and earnings and dole are thrown into a pool so that all may share alike. BUSINESS GAINS NOTED. NEW YORK, February 19 (#).—Fig- ures now becoming available indicate that business registered moderate ex- pansion in January over the usually low level of the preceding month, a survey by Standard Statistics Co. says. “Our index of the volume of industrial pro- duction, as preliminate computed, ad- vanced 3.3 points as compared with De- cember, from 87.7 to 91.0.” the survey says. “February seems likely to run fairly close to the same level of activity. March and April should show still fur- ther improvement, but moderately so. Thereafter a sagging tendgncy seems likely to develop. SILVER QUOTATIONS. NEW YORK, February 19. (#).—Bar silver, 27.
