Wall Street Street Interested in the Dollar-Pound Stabilization Reports, but Keeps Fingers Crossed. BY RALPH HENDERSHOT Times Special Financial Writer Wall Street folks have been deeply- interested in reports from Washington and London that President Roosevelt has asked his lieutenants to sound out sentiment in England on the subject of stabilizing the dollar and the pound. But they were misled once before by unofficial statements that the president had turned to the “right," and they are not inclined to fall for the same “gag” again, even though it is dressed up differently. They prefer to hear the chief executive say himself that such is the case. And even though long-distance conversations have been held between Washington and London on the subject, there is no certainty, in the opinion of some financial observers, that they are to be taken seriously. Congress will be in session shortly, and it is pointed out that Mr. Roose-

velt may desire to acquaint that body with as many facts concerning the world monetary situation as he can. It is agreed that the president must play a little poker in his relations with foreign countries as well as at home. In fact, it is felt that it is in his bargaining with the foreign powers that he must play the cards closest to his vest. From all indications it looks as if he has by far the best hand, and it would be unfortunate indeed if he were not to take in his fair share of the tricks. n n a Devaluation Alms Worldwide. Most countries throughout the world are thinking seriously of devaluating their currencies in terms of gold before going back on the gold standard. All seem to be impressed with the necessity of revaluating on the proper basis, not only to meet internal needs but to meet the needs of international trade as well.

Ralph Hendershot

Italy, one of the few countries still on the gold standard, has decided to cut wages again to meet foreign trade competition. She finds that the depreciation in the currencies of other countries has made it possible for them to undersell her in the world markets. But not all countries could get away with a wage cut such as Italy proposes. It is thought that France could not. France, consequently, is between the devil and the deep blue sea. The high price of her currency has hurt her tourist trade, and in large measure because of this she is now unable to balance her budget. But after having revalued her currency only a few years ago on the basis of an 80 per cent cut she hesitated to cut again. Faced with this situation and heavy losses of gold, many people believe it is only a matter of time when she suspends gold payments. n n n Stabilization Presents Difficulties If the United States and'England got together on currency stabilization France's position would be materially improved. But England w T ould hardly be willing to stabilize the pound while it is above $5 in the foreign exchange market, when she was unable or unwilling to stay on gold with the pound at $4.36. And it is felt that President Roosevelt would be unwilling to stabilize at a higher price for the dollar than is currently quoted unless he is able in some other way to increase commodity prices other than by raising the price of gold. Moreover, the president committed himself only recently on the commodity dollar theory. That implied that he was not concerned with a stable dollar in terms of gold, but rather that he wanted stable commodities irrespective of what happened to the price of the dollar.

Wheat closed slightly higher, but other grains were mixed; cotton held steady; silver rose Vt cent; rubber, tin, hides, silk and copper futures made gains. The dollar firmed up after an early decline, and bonds turned irregularly lower. There was no pressure in any particular section of the stock market but neither was there any demand of consequence except in a few special issues. Car Loadings Decrease Among the latter were several railroad equipment shares of which Pullman was the feature. Rails were depressed on a decline in car loadings from the previous year. Chemical shares, recent favorites, were forced down by profit-taking. Allied lost more than two points and Du Pont more than a point. U. S. Industrial Alcohol was down two points in a weak wet group. Oils lost fractions to a point. Motors were down fractionally. Utilities held fairly well, but communication issues met selling after recent strength. Gold mining shares were depressed as the RFC held its gold at $34.01. The decision of the house of lords in reversing a gold clause finding of the chancery court in the case of a Belgian unit had little market effect, although it was said this ruling might be the basis for a supreme court test of the gold clause abrogation in this country. International Telephone eased a small fraction. It was aided during most of the day by a favorable earnings report. Postal Telegraph, its subsidiary, was sold on a poor earnings statement. U. S. Steel Rallies Steel common touched 4614 and then rallied to close at 47 Vx off Vs on the day. American Can was down a point. Other issues to lose a point or more Included American Telephone, Celanese, Great Western Sugar, National Biscuit, J. C. Penney, and Seaboard Oil. Stock sales yesterday totaled approximately 1,170,000 shares as compared with 1,560,000 shares Thursday. Curb sales today were 254,000 shares as against 272,000 shares yesterday. Dow Jones preliminary averages showed industrial 99.95, off 1.49; railroad 41.45, off 0.74; utility 23.71, off 0.42.

BUYING DEMAND CARRIES WHEAT PRICES UPWARD Selling by Local Operators Weakens Corn: Oats Are Lower. BY HARMAN W. NICHOLS United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Dec. 16.—A wave of buying moved into wheat on the Board of Trade late yesterday, carrying prices higher at the close. Futures in this gram closed © to 1© cents higher. Com ranged from © cent lower to H cent higher and oats were unchanged to © cent lower. Toward the close scattered selling caused wheat to slip as low as 83© cents for the May delivery, anew low on the current downturn. Speculative interest in all grains was relatively small and the markets were easily influenced throughout the day. Operators Are Bearish On the late break near the close, however, the Farmers National bought wheat and prices advanced to 1© cents from the low point. Local operators were inclined to take a rather bearish view of the corn situation and took the selling side while commission houses were fair buyers. The recent decline m the market has shut off country’ offerings. Oats and rye were affected to a large degree by the action of other grains and oats prices averaged lower while rye received fair support. Deliveries of 1.000,000 pounds of lard on December contracts early today brought scattered liquidation into this market. Inflation Talk Factor Inflation talk from the east was a factor. Millers took more than 40.000 bushels during the first hour. The cash price was to 1 cent lower and receipts were seven cars. No special news affected com except the fact that only 1,500 bushels arrived early. Cash sales, however, amounted to 25.000 bushels in the early part of the session. The cash price was unchanged to M cent low and receipts were 156 cars. Oats was dull and failed to follow the advance in other grains. The cash price was unchanged and receipts were 27 cars.
