U. S. Farmers
and Germans in
Hardest Plight
Secretary Hoover Says, Aside
From These, World's Com
mercial Condition Has
Improved in Last Year.
Washington, Oct. 20.—The "world's
commercial strength has improved
during the last year, except in cen
tral Europe, Secretary Hoover said
today at a meeting of the foreign
commerce department of the Cham
her of Commerce of the United States.
Two dark spots only were pictured—
the American agricultural situation
and conditions in Germany.
Secretary Hoover referred, in speak
ing of American farming conditions,
to the disparity of prices of many
agricultural products with those of
other industries, more particularly in
that the difficulties of the wheat
farmers in certain portions of the
west were acute. In Germany, he
said, the 'situation affects the rest
of the world, contributing to the de
pression in American agriculture.
This was true, he said, particularly
In relationship to animal products.
Discussing the situation in the
United States, Mr. Hoover spoke of
the high rate of production, absence
of serious unemployment, absence of
speculation, and of large stocks of
goods, all contributing to general sta
bility. Increasing strength in other
parts of the world, he said, reflected
itself in increasing proportion of
American exports to European coun
tries outside of central Europe. Eigh
ty per cent of American exported
manufactures, he said, now go to
other parts of the world, and the
manufacturing industry • does not
feel the repercussion in central Eu
rope to the degree felt by agriculture.
Hayden Buyers Go East.
Thomas Flynn, president of Hay
den Brothers' store, left Saturday
evening with 18 department buyers
for Chicago and New York. Holiday
goods and additional stock for depart
ments that have been depleted on ac
count of large sales, will be pur
chased.

Can’t Assess Stock
of Insolvent Banks
Lincoln, Oet. 20.—The supreme
court today upheld the decision of the^
district court In an appeal lodged
Fred K. Bodie, receiver of the J*eOK
of Cass Coupty, to force T. H. Pollock,
stockholder, to pay an assessment on
his stock as provided by the consti
tution in Its provisions relating to In
solvent banks.
Bodie attempted to assess Pollock
before he had exhausted the asset# of
the bank and before there had been
a judicial determination of the amount
for which each stockholder was liable.
The supreme court finds that the con
stitution clearly states that stockhold
ers cannot be assessed before the as
sets are exhausted.
