FOREIGN SELLING IT. 8. SECl'KITIES Al.l'ltlCII'S FKAK CHASE BANK WARNS OF ANOTHER I'KIC'B IIKEAK BRITISH INVESTORS SEEN NERVOUS OVER V. S. PROSPECT FEDERAL AGENCIES SEE NO FOREIGN III MIMNG WASHINGTON, Dec. 3. Wlnthrop W. Aldrlch. chairman of the board of the Chase National bank, II warn ing friends In Wall Street that the stock market may take another Bhel lacklng. this time from foreign sell ing. Foreign Investors have hung on to their American securities thus far, but Mr. Aldrlch fears that they may grow nervous and dump them. Mr. Aldrlch's fears re based on soundings of foreign opinion taken during a recent trip abroad. As one of the most powerful figures In the American financial community, he was able to ask straight questions of such bigwigs as the msnagers of th big British Investment trusts. According to those who hsve talked to him. he now reports thst these men are showing the first signs of Jitters In regard to their American holdings. Hitherto. British ar.d other foreign bulsness men have always considered American businen men hysterically alarmist In their estl mtaes of the futtire. But now, ap parently, the British are beginning to chsnge their minds, Bnd are play ing with the thought of pulling out of the American market. If they do. it will be pretty serious, since the holdings of the British tourists alone. . of todsy, amount to nearly 500. 000.000. It must be added thst the securi ties and exchange commission, the treasury, and the department of com merce here all flatly disagree with Mr. Aldrlch. They maintain very forcibly that for the present, at least, the threat of foreign selling Is a meaningless bogeyman. At the SEC and the treasury, where the doings of foreign Investors are minutely watched, the experts report that, since September, foreign buying has slightly exceeded foreign selling. And they see no reason for a change In the trend. Representa tives of the British Investment trusts were here recently to find out how new American taxes would affect them. The treasury worked nard to get their plana In regard to their American holdings, and came out prety well convinced there would be no dumping. An Interesting sign of the times Is the denunciation of securities deal ers to which the President has re cently treatwl more than one busi ness visitor.
