PARIS, Aug. 7.?The reduction in the
discount rato by the Hank of France
from 0 to 5V2 per cent, following the
lead o? the Bank of England, the New
York Federal Reserve Bank and the
Scandinavian banks, was well received
in business and financial circles here.
It was generally regarded as a favor?
able symptom in the evolution of af?
fairs and was taken to indicate that
the economic crisis is approaching the
end.
An optimistic tone developed on the
Bourse upon the agreement between
Franco and England over the Silesian
question. In addition to this favorable
factor, there was short covering in an?
ticipation of end-of-the-month settle- j
ments, which eased considerably as
cheap rates became effective. Fluctua?
tions in foreign exchange rates have
been of little importance.
The Bourse was chiefly interested in j
the rise of oil stocks, the recovery of !
which in the week has been noticeable. '
On the whole, prices have moved with- ;
I in a narrow range on the stock market, ?
however, and trading has been quiet. I
There has been considerable activity in j
the new 6 per cent treasury bonds ?
around 495.
French colonial stocks have remained
quiet, but in the foreign department ;
Spanish exteriors rose to 13S. Activity I
in Russian stocks continues on rumors I
that the Russian debt will be recog- j
nized by the Soviet. Greek stocks have
been weak and Bulgarian securities
have been neglected. Chinese stocks
| remain unchanged. Japanese securities
i ave tinner and Mexicans are in better
! demand with the 1 per cents, 1904,
j quoted at S3.20.
Shipping shares have shown a tend
? ency "to recover, the Suez group de
? veloping firmness. Mining stocks hold
well and most of the gains in the oils
have beer, held.
Commercial banks are conforming to
new conditions and show improvement.

British Stirred by Necessity
Of Curtailing Expenditures
Government Finances Need Revision Despite
Promises of Trade Improvement; Evidence
of Social Revolution Again Comes to Fore
Front The Tribune's European Bureau
Copyright, 1921, New York Tribune In?.
LONDON, Aug. 7.?Opinion is sharply
divided in Great Britain over the ques?
tion of the government's decision to
put the matter of a reduction of na?
tional expenditures in the hands of a
business men's committee headed by
Sir Eric Geddes. Tho Parliamentary
opposition is raising a loud hue and
cry on tho ground that the place to ex?
amine public expenditures primarily is
the House of Commons rather than
amone a business men's soviet, as the
committee is now termed.
Criticism outside of the House cen?
ters more on the delay which must en
I sue, as the committee can*>ot cet to
gether until the middle of October be
' cause Mr. Geddes is planning a long
j holiday after hjs arduous duties in (ho
Lloyd George government. Discount?
ing much criticism, because it is in
! spired by political motives, the fact
remains that the government has taken
this radical step because of the grave
condition of national finances and the
extraordinarily difficult job of making
material reductions in appropriations
Just two years ago Mr. Lloyd George
ordered everything "ruthlessly cut
down," but the need of economy if
even greater to-day, and that fact i?
appreciated by responsible heads ol
the government even moro than b>
their severest political critics who an
trying to make political capital out o
the present embarrassing position.
The so-called business soviet prob
ably will be composed of Lord Inch
cspe, Lord Faringdon, Sir Josepl
Maclay, Lord Weir and Sir Richari
Vassar-Smith, representing some of th
country's greatest shipping and bank
ing interests. To prove effective th
committee necessarily must enjo
power almost as complete as that o
the government. Unies.-, it consider
questions of international policy it car
not recommend cuts in appropriation:
and if it docs there is bound to b
violent objection on the part of th
House of Commons, in which is vested
final judgment.
What the country is realizing more
and more is that no radical reduction
can be made without a radica! change
i in policy.
During the week the government has
been rushing through appropriation
; bills which must be passed before the
; adjournment of Parliament at the mid
i die of the month. This is meeting some
opposition from members of the gov?
ernment's ov.rn ranks, and is swelling
! the number of the opposition made up
of Liberals and Labor, but the govern?
ment holds a safe majority at all times,
With the adjournment of Parliament
the general situation is expected to
improve. Thero are no great laboi
difficulties on the horizon, manufactur?
ing is increasing and trade in general
is on the upward trend.
It is almost- a platitude to say thai
England has been passing through i
social revolution, but now and agaii
some striking proof is offered, the
latest coming from the Duke of Port
land, one of England's most prominen
land owners, who told his tenants tba
because of the excessive income tax h<
had been compelled to sell some of hi:
property, although it had been in thi
family many generations.
Last year a sin::l<> firm of auctioneer
sold estates totaling nearlv 400,00
acres for $26,000,000, and those figure
will undoubtedly be exceeded this yeai
Taxation is revolutionizing the countr;
in a manner no one anticipated seve
years ago.
Business in the foreign exchange
has been quieter in the last week, th
chief feature being a depreciation c
Dutch guilders and German mark:
French francs continue to hold thei
own, while there has been marked irr
provement in Polish marks.
An examination of some of the go'v
ernment's war investments shows coi
siderable los3, the market valuation (
shares of the companies having depr:

Losses Cause Woman Worry
Question?1 notice In this morning's Trib?
une, In answer to an Inquiry, that you do
not think well of Ontr;i! Leather preferred
I have t"n shares of that nt-p.-k. for which
I paid 106%; it was recommended i i n
Investment stock. I have had the dividend
?'u' nn thai nnd also ?n American Agricul?
tural Chemical and Virginia-Carolina
Chemical and am quite worried about all
of them. For the American Vg : i!tu? I
1 !hemleal I paid 96 '? j and tor Vlrgli la
Carolina Chemical 108, re present l ri? es
there Is a big loss in principal If I dispose
| of t hem, but i would i ithi r dispose of
them now than ?him If you thlnli the
chai :ea of resumption of dividends an- not
good. 1 a!::r? have a Central Leather p -
cent b nd, which 1 believe Is now quoted
at 89. Would you suggest that I sell that
and what could 1 get In ?ts place? I am
very much Interested In Income, and loss In
principal la quite a serious thing to me.
Some tima airo the National City Company

that bund? I also have ten shares Gej e ?i

an 8 per cent bond of thi Klordan Com
: .. ?" ?? Will you j lea ???? ? !.. nw what
I can do about these various ..? ? ks ?
?ha?, th?--" will not be too much loss on
both principal anil Interest? ! seek your
advice because I believe you ar" dl n ?
ested, and 1 . ? ???? I he so-?2allcd im ni
houses are not, and I have ab olutely no
confidence In the advice of brokers. They,
I havo found, are principally Interested In
? Issinns. I have 100 shares of South
am Pacific for which ! paid ! and ' 0
shares of Pacific Oil, ten shares Baldi In,
ten Liggett & Myers preferred and ion
National Leather. What do you think of
those? Also t?:n Rubber preferred, Mrs
O. A. P.
Answer?Central Leather had a defi?
cit of about ^20,000,000 in 1920 and a
deficit in the first three months of
1921. Wo think that it- would be ip"c
ulative to hold the stock and advise
your selling it. The Virginia-Carolina
Chemical and American Agricultural
Chemical are both strong companies,
but have been seriously affected as to
earnings by the present depression in
the fertilizer business. The question !
of whether to hold is one which only |
you can decide, because it depends on
whether you can afford to forego divi-1
dend8 for a certain length of time. We |
think that dividends on the preferred
stock will in the long run be safe. The
Central Leather ft per cent bonds ere
probably safe as regards principa! and
interest. We think the St. Paul situa?
tion will come out all right, but there
is an element of speculation in the
4V? per cent bonds, and if you cannot
afford to take that element of risk
you had better sell. General Mot?irs
6 per cent debenture stock is specu?
lative under present conditions, and ?
the 8 per cent bond of the Klordan i
Company is also speculative. You will I
havo to face the fact that you have
been consciously or unconsciously in-1
vesting in industries which were given j
an unnatural boom by the war nnd
which are experiencing a natural re?
action. This is said in regard to the
securities other than those mentioned
in the last paragraph of your letter.
Your Southern Pacific, Baldwin, Lig?
gett &. Myers preferred and National j
Lead are good under present Condi?
tion, but even these, except the Lig
f'olt. & Mydrs preferred, are not
strictly investmerit.fi but rather scmi
gpcculative. It seems to us that you <
have two clear and logical courses.
You could sell nil of your securities
at the market price except the South?
ern Pacific and the Liggett & Myora
preferred nnd invest in recently Is?
sued high coupon rate bonds, stirb
as the Kingdom of Denmark 8s, King?
dom of Norway 8s, I)?- Luval Separator
8?, Northern Pacific-Great Northern
joint 6V4? *nd Puget .Sound Power
and Light general and refunding
S m
inrorma,
*>
7s. The Pacifie Oil that you hold is
speculative, and under the first plan
which wo have just suggested vom
would sell it. Under tho second plan,
you would'hold on to all of your in?
vestments except the Central Leather
p cferred. In that case you would
have to accept the fact that you were
ating to some extent in order to
preservo the present, income, which you
have and the inner value of your prin?
cipal.

BERLIN, Aug. 7.-The boom in in?
dustrial stocks on the bourse continues
apace. After a recession Wednesday
and Thursday, stocks closed the week
strong, sharp rises being recorded in
eb ?trie, engineering, motor and mining!
shares.
This renewal of the boom is the re?
sult of the good monthly report of the
Prussian Ministry of Trade on indus?
trial conditions. It was helped by the
July 30 statement of the Reichsbank,
which showed an increase in inflation
of nearly 2,500,000,000 marks with a
record increase of 9,442,000,000 marks
in discounted treasury bills. The spec?
ulation boom has left the average of
industrial stocks at the highest point
on record, exceeding the last high point
of early January.
At the beginning of the week, of 584
industrial, all but 6(1 were quoted
at over 300 nn?i most of the re?
mainder were between 400 and 700,
with a dozen mounting above 1,000.
The banks havo begun to warn specu?
lators, predicting that a possible re?
covery in the value of the mark will
cause a heavy slump in the stock mar?
ket.
Plans are also being discussed tc
"freeze out" petty speculators nnd tc
close the bourse three days a week
At present the bourse is closed twic<
weekly, Tuesday and Saturday.
The boom is being reinforced by ar
al indance of cheap money, the rulin{
call rate being 4'?? per cent.
Some authorities, although recogniz
ing the greal improvement in business
ascribe the bull market altogether t?
the decline In the value of the mark
whic't1 has been stimulated by foreigi
an?l home buyers. Others insist tha
tho movement means the end of th
world-wide depression in trade. Th
