German Mark Falls to 4000
for Dollar.
STERLING TAKES JUMP
Apprehension Over Change Made
in British Ministry Lasts
i
but Short Time.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YOKK, Oct. 20. Recovery in
the stock market, rather irregularly dis
tributed, attracted most of Wall street's
attention today. But the larger econ
omic Interest attached to such incidents
as the fall in the German mark to 2V4
one-Uundredths of a cent, the rise of
spot cotton to 23.40 cents highest in
just two years, except for a single day
lust July and the publication of a sur
prising statement of last month's mer
chandise import trade. The day's ad
vance in stocks converged mainly on the
industrial shares, which had fallen most
heavily- in the last two or three days,
but it affected the railways also. Con-
elderable. repurchase or stocks by recent
speculative sellers was in evidence.
That financial apprehension over the
change inthe British ministry had been
only momentary, was proved not only
by the course of today's European stock
markets, but by the movement of ster
ling, which, at one time, got back to
$4.47 as against the $4.44 rate touched
in Thursday's abrupt reaction.
y But the sudden fall of the German mark,
measured in hundredths of a cent, from
its previous lowest figure of 8H to 2
today, was the outstanding movement in
exchange. The cables quoted wild ex
citement on the Berlin stock exchange,
which may easily be Imagined; for, small
es the unit now is in which' the mark's
gold value is measured, today's decline
amounted virtually to a 20 per cent fur
ther overnight depreciation in the Ger--man
currency. This, collapse la a not1
uninteresting commentary on the latest
futilities of the German government; its
attempt to prohibit purchase of foreign,
currencies with paper marks and Its
quite Incomprehensible offer of "gold
interest bearing mark certificates" with
out any visible gold reserve behind them.
But the new valuation Of 4000 marks
to the dollar Instead of 2100 a fortnight
ago and 400 in July, is perfectly well
explained by the currency statements
which Berlin declares have nothing to
do with it. The Belchsbank today re
ported addition to the paper circulation
during the second week of October to
have been 30.334,000,000 marks, an in
crease of nearly 9 per cent in a week and
of 120 per cent since July 1. But the
Reichsbank has promised presently to
do Better with Its printing press than
this 5,000,000,000 daily output.
During September there was very lit
tle of the talk of huge "anticipatory
imports." which is usually heard on the
eve of A great advance in the tariff. It
was, iffeed, a matter of rather general
comment, how little interest the for
eign markets then seemed to take in the
matter. Nevertheless, it was generally
assumed that September's trade returns
would show substantial increase in ar
rivals of foreign merchandise which ex
plains the surprise of everybody on
learning, from today's foreign trade
Rtatement, that 'mporta last month were
'$39,000,000 less than in August.
m
Reading was the outstanding leader
of the railway shares today, making a
new high for the year on an unusually
large turnover, which totaled something
like 58,000 shares. The stock opened at
S04., the low for the day and closed at
S3Vj, the high for the day and net ad
vance being 3 points. JCo particular
i explanation was offered in the financial
community for the rise, but in certain
railway quarters, it was held that the
approach of another step in the Reading
segregation case was considered as" en
couraging news.
It Is a comparatively simpile matter
for the etock market friends of Mexl
ca.n Petroleum and Corn Products to
put them ahead at will. Just now both
of them have back of the market op
erations the knowledge that they have
extremely large cash surpluses and that
it Is extremely fashionable to reduce
these surpluses by stock dividends.
Bradstreet describes the industrial and
distributive situation as "about the bet
since the late spring of 1920." Dun. al
though admitting irregularity and "fluc
tuation in volume of operations," finds
that "the rising trend of demand is
clearly manifest."
There was no further reflection of the
British cabinet crisis in the foreign
quarter of the. bond market. Whereas
British issues came down about a point
when the resignation of Lloyd George
and his ministry was- announced, the in
fluence of this ceased to exist. The
United Kingdom 54s were appreciably
stronger, making up .half the loss ex
perienced the day before.
LlbeTty bonds, with the exception of
the 3Vs9, which had a remarkable move
ment yesterday, were strong. The tax
exempt issue dropped fully Jl on profit
faking. The new treasury 4Yte sold at
the usual discount above the subscrip
tion price, and the balance of the. 4
per cent issue showed smaller advances.

bank In the west and will reDresent the
New York banking Institution In all
Banning- ways.

BOND LIST IIM
FOREIGN IiOAXS DOWNWARD
IN TREND , AT NEW YpRK.
Domestic Issues Inclined to Im
prove All Liberty Group
Except 3 y2 s Steady.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20. Conflicting
price movements again took place in to
day's bond market, foreign issues gen
erally exhibiting a reactionary trend
while domestic liens were inclined to im
prove. Liberty 314 s, which registered a sen
sational advance yesterday by touching
103.02, & new high record, and closing
at 102, fell back to 100.84 today, a net
loss of $1.16. "Other United States govern
ment securities were either unchanged
or registered moderate gains.
Mixed changes occurred in the railroad
group with the main trend upward. The
advance was led by Baltimore te Ohio
gold 4a and Pennsylvania consolidated
4!4s, each up 114 points. Gains of 1 to
114 were made by Chicago & Eastern
Illinois 414 s, Kansas City Southern re
funding 5s, Baltimore & Ohio refunding
5s and Erie convertible 414s, series B. -
Some of the weak spots were Chicago
& Erie first 5s, New Orleans, Texas &
Mexico 5s. Wabash first 5s, St. Paul
general 4s, Atchison adjustment 4s
stamped, Frisco adjustment 6s and Nor
folk & Western convertible 6s, all down
a point or more.
Union Bag & Paper 6s improved a
point, as did Cerro de Pasco 8s and
United Drug 8s. The three Brooklyn
Rapid Transit issues strengthened 1 to
114 points, but New York Railway 4s cer
tificates were reactionary, as were In
terborough Metropolitan 414s and Pa
cific Telephone 5s.
Total sales, par value, were $20,
925.000. The only important offering today, an
issue of $5, 500, 006 first and refunding
mortgage 6 per cent gold bonds of the
Missouri Pacific Railroad company, sold
to the public a,t par, was oversubscribed.

Total Consideration About $700,
000h Plant to Run Seven
Days a Week for Output.
Sale of 160 tank cars of cocoanut
oil for future delivery to one con
cern in the middle -west was an
nounced yesterday bv officials of
the Portland Vegetable Oil Mills
company, after the big deal hadj
been closed with the middle-west-
em buyer by C. A. Painton, presi
dent of the local company, over the i
long distance telephone. The deal
is declared to represent the largest
single sale of Cocoanut oil ever con
cluded by a vegetable oil crusher
In this country. j
The oil will be used in the man-,
ufacture of soap, although the name
of the buying concern was not dis
closed. It was declared to le one
of the largest soap manufacturers
in the middle west. A total consid
eration of about $700,000 is involved
in the transaction, it was said. De
livery of the 160 tanks of oil will
start next week and will cover a
period of six months.
In order to produce this quantity
of oil, something like 10,000,000
pounds in all, it will be necessary
to import and crush more than 14,
000,000. pounds of copra, it is said.
The company already had under
contract large .quantities of copra
for delivery from the far east and
following the receipt of this huge
order telegraphic arrangements for
additional quantities of copra were
placed.
"This latest order, with orders al
ready on file, will take practically
the entire output of the company
for the remainder of this year and
the first quarter of 1923," said J; W.
Parker, secretary-treasurer of the
company. "Counting the 160-car
order we now have on hand orders
for 270 tanks for future delivery.
We have been operating the plant
2i hours a day, but in order to
handle the additional business It
'will be necessary to keep the mill
in operation seven days a week in
stead of six as heretofore."

rPWARD TREND IN COTTON MARKET
With General Demand, Price Close
Higher at New York.
(By Chicago Tribune Leased Wire.)
NEW YORK. Oct. 20. The cotton fu
tures list continued upward today. There
was little feature in early trading, and
movements were within narrow limits,
with professional evening up and Wall
street give and take. The market opened
3 to 15 points net lower, except for Oc
tober, which was up 2 points, and then
rallied under trade buying and support
from shorts. The south was a small
seller. Much of the morning pressure
represented profit-taking by old longs
who thought the 23-cent level for the
time being was the market's high. Gen
eral demand increased steadily, however.
In the latter trading until prices were
about 35 points higher than yesterday's
close. Support was largely week-end
evening up by Wall street abort Inter
ests. Closing prices were around the
high, 28 to 42 points net better.

IMPROVEMENT IN TRDE KEEPS UP
Rising Trend of Demand Clearly Indi
catedPrices Stronger.
NEW YORti Oct 20. Dun's Review
tomorrow will say:
"Expectation that the final quarter of
the year would bring a further extension
of business Improvement has been sup
ported by developments during the first
month of the fall season. While irregu
larities have continued in different lines,
with considerable fluctuation In volume
of operations, the rising trend of demand
is clearly maaifest and most wholesale
markets are strengthening steadily.
"Moderate reaction from the higher
price levels for certain commodities, such
as iron and steel, reflects an easing of
the tension, which had resulted from the
paucity of supplies and activity In buy
ing and also is an outcome of the re
covery in manufacture that has followed
the settlement of the coal mining and
railroad labor troubles. Relief from tht
fuel scarcity, which has seriously ham
pered production, has made possible the
resumption of work at many plants
where idleness had been unavoidable, al
though transportation drawbacks still
hinder shipments of merchandise and
tend to prevent Borne transactions which
would otherwise be consummated.
