This is not all.

There is no public opinion, in the British sense, in Germany or Italy, but only the opinion of a dictator. The trend of such legislation as the Blum Government is forcing through the French Parliament is clearly in the direction of a Socialist State, and one wonders what functions a Parliament will perform in France if a Socialist regime is finally established. The situation in Spain is still so confused as to make prediction futile, but the triumph of either Socialism or Fascism in that country would not make political relations with Great Britain any easier or more confident, With a gloomy record of international rebuffs and a Continental situation full of anxiety, British foreign policy is moving cautiously, although by no means without plan. Quietly, it would seem, the League of Nations is being left to its fate, with no apparent interest in the proposals of reform which, at the last meeting of the Council, the member States were invited to submit. There will be no British opposition to a Nazi control of Danzig, notwithstanding that nominally the League should be consulted about any change in the political management of the city. There is little likelihood of British opposition to any arrangement about the Polish Corridor that Poland aid Germany may make, and appropriation of the German colonies, the de- struction of the German navy 651 Chronicle dropped.

Kansas, it was disclosed, also will follow the Bureau of Mines estimate for August, various flush barrels. set at 166500 A reduction of • 15,956 barrels daily in the Texas Bureau of Mines August. E. O. Thompson, Chairman of the Commission, pointed out that inasmuch as the State's actual output now is 2.17% under the allowable, August production, despite the new allowable, actually will be under the Bureau's estimate. A decline of 524,000 barrels in stocks of domestic and foreign crude petroleum during the week ended July 18 pared the total to 308,859,000 barrels, the Bureau of Mines reported July 29. Stocks of domestic crude were off 518,000 barrels, while holdings of foreign crude registered a drop of 6,000 barrels, the report disclosed. Sharp declines in daily production totals in Oklahoma and California brought a net drop of 17,400 barrels in daily average output for the nation for the week ended July 25. Total production was set at 2,960,950 barrels by the American Petroleum Institute. This total compared with the Bureau of Mines' estimate of July market demand of 2,917,200 barrels, and actual production in the like 1935 period of 2,734,650 barrels. t ■. Output in Oklahoma dipped 11,000 barrels to total 548,200 barrels, as compared with the July market estimate of 569,800 barrels set by the Bureau of Mines. The Oklahoma Corporation Commission, it will be recalled, set the allowable for July sharply below the Bureau's figure. Despite a cut of 8,900 barrels in California—more than the 8,500 net dtop for the entire area east of the Rocky Mountains—output on the West Coast of 575,000 barrels was far above the Bureau's estimate of 550,800 barrels.

The delegates attending the meeting voted to recommend to signatory States that the pact be renewed when it expires September 1, 1937. The special committee is composed of Ernest O. Thompson, chairman of the Texas Railroad Com¬ mission, Homer Koch, Kansas representative, and William Bell, Illinois representative. The group will make a report at the next meeting on October 1. Renewal of the compact, it was pointed out, will give more time to bring California and Louisiana into the pact. Other non-member oil states also will be asked to join.

It was disclosed, however, by E. 0. Thompson, who repre¬ sented Governor Allred of Texas, that the Louisiana control had been invited to send observers to a hearing set August 5 at Jefferson, Texas, at which production quotas be considered by the Railroad Commission. Renewal of the compact will have agency by the respective State legislatures and by Congress before it becomes effective. After holding production quotas far under the market levels set in the estimates released by the United States Bureau of Mines j the Oklahoma Corporation Commission to be ratified posted a substantial increase in the State's allowable August to allow producers to turn out sufficient oil to meet the Federal agency estimated market demand.

Armstrong, to the State Cor¬ poration Commission that the August Statewide allowable for August be established at 575,500 barrels, up 49,325 has for cracked gasoline rose A rise of nearly 2% established refinery away. The main reason is the rush on the for the near-record refinery operations build part of refiners and distributors to the winter. most of the country, coupled with the increasing popularity of oil-burn¬ ing furnaces, brought record demand for fuel oil.

In fact, the sales were the largest' in volume for a, seven-day period since 1929. Domestic copper quieted down considerably, as all in the trade expected. Zinc became firmly established at 4.80c., St. Louis. Tin prices were irregular on conflicting reports in reference to the negotiations for the renewal of the control agreement at the end of this year.

Weekly Coal Production Higher than The United States Year Ago a Continued Bureau of Mines, in its weekly coal report, stated that production of bituminous coal increased slightly in the week ended July 18. The total output is estimated at 7,038,000 net tons, a gain of 192,000 tons, or 2.8%, over the preceding week. Production during the corresponding week last year amounted to 5,485,000 tons. Anthracite production in Pennsylvania during the week ended July 18 is estimated at 752,000 net tons. This is in comparison with 761,000 tons in the preceding week, and 724,000 tons in the corresponding week of 1935. During the calender year to July 18, 1936, a total of 218,053,000 tons of bituminous coal and 29,137,000 net tons of Pennsylvania anthracite were produced. This compares with 200,232,000 tons of soft coal and 30,569,000 tons of hard coal produced in the same period of 1935.

Total loans and discounts stood at $12,430,404,000 and total investments were $14,170,421,000." A year previous, tables in the report show, there were 10,644 State supervised banks, with combined resources of $32,680,203,000; total deposits, $27,297,959,000; loans and discounts, $13,060,033,000, and investments, $12,582,325,000. Of the reporting State banking institutions on Dec. 31, 1935, 82% were commercial banks, the report states, 9% trust companies, almost 9% stock and mutual savings banks and less than 1% were private banks.

We found very little. - There was a promise of "reasonable" security. But who is to say what is "reasonable?" Who is to go behind that evasion and say what "reasonable" means? Remembering that Governor Landon considered $1.08 a week "reasonable" for a Kansas family on relief, we were worried. Nor were we impressed by his promise to economize and at the same time to provide adequate relief for the farmer and the unemployed worker. We were amazed to find him insisting that government should be an "umpire" and then executing an about-face to say that industrial disputes should not be the concern of the President. . Governor Landon holds that the Federal Government has been unable to solve the problem of unemployment and the presumption is that he expects private industry to succeed. Let us consider an example, the steel industry. Governor Landon may be familiar with that, since his uncle, William T. Moosman, is the chief lobbyist in Harrisburg for the Pennsylvania steel masters. The Pennsylvania steel industry is booming today as it has never boomed since the World War. Yet employment lags. Why? Because modern machinery is replacing the workers in the steel mills, just as it is replacing the workers in mine and factory and on our farms. We have come to a show-down with the machine age. President Roosevelt gave us the solution when he shortened hours of work and estab¬ lished minimum wages. Now, as a result of Supreme Court decisions, we must look for another solution, but no word or deed of Governor Landon specific policies which were to reported conditions very bad in at least rate for a round trip. threat to the laboring men We have been doing are 10 Kansas counties, the worst situation being in Lynn County, where 51% of the farmers need immediate assistance to enable them to save their livestock. ^ The Governor explained that the State officials had gained valuable experience during the 1934 drought and that he believed that the railroads would be generous in establishing emergency rates, as in that year, k In 1934 the railroads, on shipments of cattle to well-watered areas and back again in the fall, fixed a rate of 85% of the regular rates on shipments out of the State and a rate of 15% on the shipments back, which amounted Air.

Governor Landon's speech, delivered at Topeka on July 23, was given in our issue of a week ago, page 521. It was noted in the New York "Herald Tribune" of July 29 that for the unusual method of answering the first official utterances of the rival Presidential candidates the Democratic National Committee had recruited Governors Louis J. Brann of Maine; George H. Earle of Pennsylvania; Henry Horner of Illinois; Clyde L. Herring of Iowa; Roy L. Cochran of Nebraska, and Charles H. Martin of Oregon.

These figures are always a week behind those for the Reserve banks themselves. The comment of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System upon the figures for the latest week appears in our department of "Current Events and Discussions immediately preceding which we also give the figures of New York and Chicago reporting member banks for a week later. The statement beginning with Nov. 6, 1935. covers reporting banks In 101 leading cities, as It did prior to the banking holiday In 1933, Instead of 91 cities, and has also been revised further so as to show additional Items. The amount of "Loans to banks" was Included heretofore partly In "Loans on securities—to others" and partly In "Other loans." The Item "Demand deposits—adjusted" represents the total amount of demand deposits standing to the eredlt of Individuals, partnerships, corporations, associations, States, counties, municipalities, Ac., minus the amount of cash Items reported as on hand or In process of collection. The method of computing the Item "Net demand deposits," furthermore, has been changed In two respects In accordance with provisions of the Banking Act of 1935: first. It Includes United States Government deposits, against which reserves must now be oarried, while previously these deposits required no reserves, and, second, amounts due from banks are now deducted from gross demand deposits, rather than solely from amounts due to banks, as was required under the old law. These changes make the figures of "Net demand deposits" not comparable with those shown prior to Aug. 23,1935. The Item "Time deposits" differs In that it formerly lnoluded a relatively small amount of time deposits of other banks, whloh are now lnoluded In "Inter-bank deposits." The Item "Due to banks" shown heretofore lnoluded only demand balances of domestlo banks. The item "Borrowings" represents funds received, on bills payable and rediscounts, from the Federal Reserve banks and from other sources. Figures are shown also for "Capital account," "Other assets—net," and "Other liabilities." By "Other assets—net" is meant the aggregate of all assets not otherwise specified, less oash items reported as on hand or In process of collection whloh have been deducted from demand deposits.

This strike is still technically in progress, although the mine reopened July 5, 1935, under police protection, and some of the strikers returned to work. In its decision the board ordered the company to end "efforts to coerce" its employees in the matter of their union affiliations and to withdraw recognition and financial support from the Juneau Mine Workers Associa¬ tion, a "company-dominated" labor organization. The company was further ordered to reinstate with back pay 29 miners who struck and to whom re-employment was refused, and to place in their former positions on the waiting list, when employment is available, nearly 100 others who joined in the strike.—V. 143, p. 261.

Associated Gas & Electric Co.—Weekly Output— For the week ended July 18, Associated Gas & Electric System reports of 81,442,484 units (kwh.), which is an increase of 14.2% above the production a year ago. Improvement in gross revenues and net income has not corresponded to the rise in output, because of rate cuts and higher expenses and taxes. In an effort to offset rate reductions and to build up revenues, the system has been pushing the sale of appliances ex¬ net electric output tensively. In a special sales campaign which started Jan. 1 and ended June 30, operating companies of the system in cooperation with appliance dealers in Associated territory sold 58,029 electric and gas refrigerators, according to the preliminary report of the campaign just issued. These sales ex¬ ceeded the goal of 45,000 by some 29%. It is estimated that the use of these new appliances will increase the annual electric output of operating companies which comprise the Associated System by about 24,900,000 kwh. and the annual gas sendout by about 58,000,000 cubic feet. Stockholders Told of Gainsdn Revenue and Output— "The position of the company showed considerable improvement during and this improvement has been continued during 1936 to date," S. J. Magee, Vice-President and General Manager announced at the 1935, annual meeting of stockholders held July 13. Mr. Magee pointed out that for the 12 months ended May 31, gross earnings were $5,190,894 higher than for the previous annual period, and that operating income was $777,143 higher. He said that when the earnings statement for the 12 months ended May, 1936 was compared with that for year 1935, the gain in gross during the five months was seen to be $2,729,462 and the increase in operating income $1,219,205. Earnings have not been increased so fast as output, Mr. Magee declared. He said that during the first six months of this year, electric output of the Associated Gas & Electric System was more than 9% higher than for the first half of 1935 and more than 14% greater than for the same period of 1934. "Rate reductions, increases in taxes, and increased costs of supplies have been largely responsible for the fact that greater output has not shown a corresponding increase in earnings," Mr. . Magee stated. Legal Expenses Considerable Mr. Magee said that unfortunate drain on the company was the Courts the petition for reorganization of of the National Bankruptcy Act, which was filed against the company on June 8, 1934. A considerable portion of the time of the major executives of the company is consumed by the serious attention they must give to this petition, he asserted. "The company has never, since its incorporation in 1906, defaulted on any obligation when due, either before or after the filing of this petition. It has continued to pay its debenture interest in full. We believe that the company is wholly solvent, and that for this reason the petition for re¬ organization will ultimately be shown to be without any merit whatsoever." an expense incurred to oppose in the the company under Section 77-B . Tax Liens Contested matter giving the management concern is the assessments Federal Government in December for $50,962,163, which it alleged was due for back taxes, including interest and penalties, for the years 1927 to 1933," said Mr, Magee. "These assessments are based upon the utterly unfounded assumption by the Internal Revenue Department of a taxable net income during the period 1929-35 of nearly $300,000,000. Obviously, any assessment based on an assumed taxable income of ap¬ proximately twice the total gross operating revenues is wholly fantastic." He said that the company was defending this suit, and had filed appeals to the Board of Tax Appeals from these assessments. The stockholders voted Works & Electric Co., Output of electric energy of the electric properties of American Water Works & Electric Co. for the week ended July 25 totaled 47,181,000 kilowatt an increase of charges Arkansas Natural Gas Corp., interest charges and amortization of discount Reserves for depletion and depreciation "Another American Tobacco Co.—To Give Vacations— hours, deductions: Interest amortization of discount made by the The company on July 23 notified employees that a full week's vacation with pay would be given to all those not already receiving vacations who have been in the continuous employ of the company for one year.

The steel industry has encouraging prospects for the near future, Mr. Grace said in issuing the report. Orders received this month have been more than sufficient to support the present rate of operations, 67% of capacity, he continued, while the unfinished orders of $89,561,632 were the largest in several years.

Mr. Grace said the corporation had in its employ during June persons, the largest number in its history. In the first six months on 66,179 81,706 of last employed. Although the average selling price of steel was about $4 a ton less in June than in 1929, Mr. Grace said, the corporation's paroll was equal to the 1929 level, and the average number of hours worked by each employee was eight to nine fewer a week. "The total payroll in June," Mr. Grace said, "was $10,200,000, against $425,000,000 for all of 1929. The average number of hours worked weekly wdSK49.8, against 48 and 49 hours in 1929. Thus, with eight hours less work a^week, the payroll is equalling the 1929 level, and we have more employees." year were Mr. Grace said the higher wages and lower selling prices explained the lower earnings than in 1929. "In the 5y years of depression through June 30, 1936," Mr. Grace said, "Bethlehem lost $20,000,000, and paid in wages $375,000,000." Discussing unemployment, he said the estimated total of 10,000,000 "not caused by industrial unemployment." industry," Mr. Grace declared, "except the buildingconstruction industry, that is not employing as many men as in 1929. Industry is doing its job and doing it well." The average billing price for Bethlehem's products was slightly lower in the second quarter than in the first quarter, Mr. Grace said. Owing to the establishment of higher prices July 1, it was fair to assume that average billing prices would be higher in the third quarter, he added. Mr. Grace said $3,000,000 was spent for new plant improvements in the second quarter, and $6,800,000 in the first half. The corporation has available $6,500,000 additional for capital improvements, which total is being increased, he said. Regarding efforts to unionize the steel industry, Mr. Grace said he did not find "any real interest among Bethlehem employees in the C. I. O. unionization campaign." Mr. Grace said approximately 6,000 of Bethlehem's employees took vacations with pay last month under the plan adopted recently by the steel industry. He estimated that the vacations would cost the company $1,000,000 before the end of the year.—-V. 143, p. 101. out of work men "I know of 745 Financial Chronicle 143 Bourne Mills, Fall River, The directors have declared a Mass.—Dividend Increased— dividend of $1.50 per share on the no par Corp.—Stricken from List— Bowman-Biltmore Hotels The first mortgage leasehold 7% sinking fund gold bonds, 1934 have been stricken from the New York Stock Exchange p. 265.

In the letter to stockholders the company advises: "On April 14, 1936 Market value at June 30, 1936, $7,168,342. corporation purchased the assets of Southern Bankers Securities Corp. and Second Southern Bankers Securities Corp. for 42,777 shares of Carriers & General Corn, stock, having a then liquidating value of $9.82 per share, and $122,220 in cash. The assets thus-^acquired consisted of securities and cash valued at $593,895 on April 14, 1936. Many of these securities have since been liquidated and proceeds reinvested." The corporation, as presently constituted, will not qualify as a "mutual investment company" under the definitions and limitations of the Federal Revenue Act of 1936, but the letter states: "In view, however, of the high cost at which many of the securities are Carried in the portfolio it is unlikely that the company will realize taxable profits on the sale of its securities during the current year. If so, the discrimination of the Revenue Act of 1936 will not be felt this year."—V. 142, p. 2j88.

Celotex Corp.—To Make Exchange Offer to Bond and Debenture Holders— July 29, that it had filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission in Washington covering $4,000,000 of 4^% sinking fund convertible debentures to be dated as of Nov. 1, 1936, and to mature Nov. 1, 1951. The company proposes to offer convertible debentures of this issue to present holders of the company's $821,500 outstanding 6 H% first mortgage bonds and $1,849,500 of outstanding 6% income debentures as part of an exchange plan designed to retire both issues in their entirety. The proposed deben¬ tures will be convertible into common stock until maturity at the rate of two shares of common stock for each $100 principal amount of debentures. Under the exchange plan holders of first mortgage bonds would receive new debentures on a par for par basis plus a premium of 5% and accrued interest to Nov. 1, 1936. The income debenture holder would receive in exchange for each $1,000 old debenture a debenture of the new issue for the same principal amount, and in addition one share of the company's $100 par 5% cumulative preferred stock plus a warrant entitling the holder to purchase two shares of the company's common stock at $55 a share until Oct. 15, 1939, the expiration date of the warrants, and $15 representing interest accrued from Aug. 1, 1936 to Nov. 1, 1936. .< The company reserves .the right to declare the plan operative during the exchange period, its decision to depend upon the cooperation it receives from the securityholders in carrying out the plan. It is expected if the plan becomes operative that the unexchanged balance of the new issue of 4 debentures will be publicly offered by a banking corporation announced group and names of members of which will be later announced. Acquisition-— B. G. Dahlberg, President, has announced the purchase by the company of the Methuen, N. J., plant of R. J. Scott & Co.. manufacturers of asphalt According to Mr. Dahlberg, this new property will bei by Celotex for the manufacture of certain new products now under development. "Despite the fact that the capacity of the Celotex plant at New Orleans has been recently increased," Mr. Dahlberg stated, "it can hardly be expected to do more thah care for the rapidly increasing demands for current Celotex products. The only way to provide for the development of new products was to acquire another plant and the R. J. Scott factory seems ideally suited to our present requirements and future plans."—V. 142, P. 4017. used Central Maine Power Co.

The company stated that the reason for the common dividend being paid on Oct. 10 instead of Sept. 10 is accounted for by the fact that the company's fiscal year started earlier than Jan. 1, 1936. Therefore the company is not penalized by taxes on undistributed income for its fiscal year ending Sept. 30, 1936, but of course is for its undistributed income during its next fiscal year, which begins Oct. 1. .Consequently, this dividend will be allowed as a de¬ duction from next year's income.—V. 142, p. 3165. x Corp.—Accumulated Dividend—• Period End.

Jan. 1, 1937, is the proposed effective date of the plan. Annual fixed interest charges of the new company, if plan is approved, which include, in addition to Denver & Rio Grande & Salt Lake will be $2,358,445 compared with fixed interest charges on present proper¬ ties of $5,749,586, a reduction of 59%. "The object has been to provide a new capital structure for the properties safely within their ability to support and apportion among existing security holders and other creditors on basis of respective seniorities of their posi¬ tion," it is stated. As part of its reorganization the road would offer new 4% refunding bonds to meet its entire debt of $10,691,850 to the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. The debt to the RFC includes money borrowed to acquire the Denver and Salt Lake Western. In return for full payment of its debt to the RFC, the road suggested that that agency should agree to underwrite the refunding of $1,500,000 first-dnortgage,;bonds and $9,734,000 of 6% bonds of the Denver & Salt Lake which are outstanding. The Rio Grande is owned jointly by the Missouri Pacific and the Western Pacific Railroad Corp. Under the proposed plan, these two shareholders would receive 100,000 shares of new common stock for every 150,000 shares of old common stock they now hold.

Likewise, the net profit for the second quarter is the best showing for any quarter since the first three months of 1930. M Commenting on the results of operation, A. E. Barit, President of the company, attributed the substantial improvement in earnings to a consis¬ tent increase in operating efficiency as sales and shipments gained momen¬ tum in the second quarter. Shipments for this period totaled 38,850 units as compared with 28,764 units in the first quarter and 28,509 units in the corresponding period last year. This brought shipments for the first six months of this year to 67,614 units, compared with 55,686 for the first half Hayes Body Corp.—To Make Auto Trailer— The company has developed a steel frame house in production at its Grand Rapids plant early this trailer which will be put fall. Company is the first directly connected with the automobile industry to announce entry into the rapidly growing house trailer field although a number of motor companies are known to be investigating the potential market. ' » The Hayes design differs from most trailers now on the-market in that chassis, body frames, and part of the sides will be of steel. Most trailer manufacturers at present use wood or wood reinforced with steel. It is understood that weight and manufacturing costs of the Hayes trailer are about the same as thpse of wood. The Hayes trailer will be marketed through automobile dealers. The new operations may necessitate reopening company's Ionia plant which has been shut down for a number of years.—V. 142, p. 3172. 1936—3 x$840,517 x$l,074,540 x$2,398,392 x$2,900,043 87,922 92,748 157,842 182,546 Operating profit Other income... $928,439 145,263 121,041 Net income Convertible pref. $2,556,234 $662,135 Federal taxes. $1,167,288 124,244 127,488 339,309 336,104 $915,557 $1,880,822 253,844 253,844 526,312 divs..

Murray Jr., receiver, in his monthly report states in part: Traffic—The Subway division during the month of June carried 65,118,239 passengers, an increase of 2,385,034 or 3.80% ss compared with June, All lines on the division showed increased 1935. traffic over the correspond¬ ing month of last year, ranging from 2.08% on the Lenox Ave. & White Plains Koad Line to 8.05% on the Pelham Bay Park Line. The traffic actually increased at a rate of about 1% during the month. A study of station receipts brings out an interesting point. - The reduction in fare on the steam railroads has apparently changed the riding habits of many passengers on the Interborough system.

Undoubtedly some of the increase at Grand Central Station is traffic developed as the result of the reduction in railroad fares. The Manhattan division during June carried 17,979,651 passengers, an increase of 319,498 or 1.81% as compared with June, 1935. The number of passengers carried on the entire system during June was increase of 2.704,532 Subway 3.36% or Division as compared with June, 1935. Operations Period End.

Bank & Trust Co. of New York: registrar. Company—Originating as a partnership with one _ _ Commercial National store, in December 1921, The John Irving Shoe Co., Inc., grew to a chain of 25 stores, selling women's $2 and $3 shoes, popular priced hosiery, handbags, and shoes accessories. John Irving Shoe Corp; (incorp. in Del., May 7, 1936) acquired the busi¬ ness of the predecessor and operates the entire chain of stores. The chain of 25 retail stores merchandises under three different names, John Irving, Wilson, and Crosby Shoe Stores. Five stores sell shoes at one uniform price of $2; 14 at one uniform price of $3; and the remaining six stores at $2 and $3. The volume of sales is divided into about the following proportions: 73% shoe and shoe findings, 23% hosiery, and 4% handbags. The principal field of operations is in the larger cities between Boston, Mass., and Bridgeport, Conn. Of the 25 stores in the chain, 20 are located ip that area, one in New York State, one in Pennsylvania, one in the District i Columbia, one in Maryland, and one in Virginia. The company is purely a retail organization, selling only through its own stores. It is not engaged in any manufacturing or wholesaling activities. Purpose—Proceeds expected to be received by the company from the sale of the stock will amount to $358,950 before deduction of estimated expenses of $13,155, payable by the company. If all the warrants are exercised at $9, there will be $216,000 additional to the company; if at $12.50, $300,000: and if at $15, $360,000. ' When received, approximately $150,000 of the net proceeds used for the purpose of expansion, of additional stores and are to be including the acquisition and equipment modernizing such present stores as may require it. The contemplated expansion will require larger inventories of merchandise, and the remainder of the proceeds will be used for that purpose.

Volume 143 Financial Chronicle Union American With Investing Corp.—To Dissolve— view to enabling stockholders a enhanced value of .its United benefit immediately from the to assets, directors have recommended the dissolution of the corporation and a meeting of stockholders will be held on Sept. 2, 1936 to vote upon the action. It is estimated by the management that stockholders will receive in liquidation approximately $38 per share if all securities are liquidated at current market prices, which compares with the original offering price to the public in 1928 of $28 per share. There are presently outstanding 64,541 shares of common stock and option warrants expiring until June 1, 1938 to purchase 52,543 shares at the original offering price. Of an issue of $2,500,000 of 5% debentures due 1948, publicly offered in May, 1928 at 993^ and accrued interest, $1,403,000 principal amount now outstanding will be called for payment on Dec. 1, 1936 at 101H and interest. In a letter to stockholders July 30 notifying them of the resolution adopted by the directors, David M. Heyman, President, states in part: "It seems suitable that you should be advised of the considerations which have led the directors to recommend the dissolution, particularly as this decision was not animated by any lack of prosperity of the corporation's affairs, but is influenced by its very state of prosperity and by the desire of the board that the stockholders shall directly and promptly enjoy the * results of such prosperity. It is now estimated that if all the securities owned by the corporation are liquidated at approximately current market prices and if all the presently outstanding option warrants are exercised, there will be available for dis¬ tribution to all the stockholders, after payment of all obligations and expenses, approximately $38 per share; but the amount ultimately received by stockholders will necessarily be dependent upon market prices prevailing at the time of actual liquidation of specific securities, which in turn will affect the amount of taxes payable by the corporation. "Although the stock of the corporation is listed on the New York Curb Exchange, it has not, for a long time at least, enjoyed a ready market. "In view of these facts it appears to be advantageous to all promptly to liquidate the corporation s6 that its security holders may immediately benefit from the present enhanced value of its assets."—V. 142, p. 4041.

As to the first cause, the questions raised by the exceptions filed by the bondholders' committee were argued in the U. S.

Stern and Frederic S. Goodwin are acting as a protective committee for the International Match Corp. participating preference stock. As of May 13, 1936, 383,699 shares of International preference stock were deposited under the protective agreement. The pro¬ tective committee has been negotiating with representatives of Swedish Match Co.; Irving Trust Co., as trustee in bankruptcy of International Match Corp.; Aktiebolaget Kreuger & Tolls Konkursbo; Guaranty Co. of New York, and City Co. of New York, Inc., who were interested and (or) engaged in the original issue and sale of International preference stock; the protective committee acting under deposit agreement dated April 11, 1932, for the 20-year 5% sinking fund gold debentures and 10-year 5% convertible gold debentures of International Match Corp.; the protective committee acting under debenture holders' protective agreement dated as of April 8,1932, for the 5% secured sinking fund gold debentures of Kreuger & Toll; and certain other committees representing security holders of Inter¬ national Match Corp. and (or) Kreuger & Toll, in an effort to obtain some¬ thing of value for the holders of International preference stock and holders of the certificates of deposit of the protective committee. These negotia¬ tions resulted in this offering of participating certificates and scrip. The protective committee interested certain English holders of Inter¬ national preference stock, not deposited with the protective committee and unconnected with it, in the proposed plan. As a result these English holders formed Imco to take advantage of this plan which had been so negotiated in order that the proposed offering of participating certificates and scrip might be made possible.

These were the top prices of the day. The pronounced strength was attributed to shortage of feed crops this year, this in turn having a marked effect in strengthening the hog market. An added factor in the rise of prices was aggressive buying on the part of speculative interests. The market, in the trade's opinion, is in fact in the hands of the specu¬ lative interests, who are influenced by the recent action of corn. New highs for the season were established in hogs yesterday, and prices at Chicago closed 10 to 15c. higher. The top price of the day was $11.30, and the bulk of sales reported ranged from $9 to $11.15. -Receipts at the prin¬ cipal Western markets were 54,400 head, against 34,000 head for the same day a year ago. On the 30th in^t. futures closed 20 to 30 points higher. At one time ^prices soared to a level of 30 to 40 points above yesterday's finals. General buying by speculative and trade interests advanced lard futures. This extraordinary demand was influenced largely by the skyrocketing of corn prices, which were in turn affected by alarming official reports that over half of the corn crop was lost. The weakness in hogs, which were 10c. to 20c. lower,—was practically ignored by speculators. The top price early in the day was $11.20, and some of the sales reported ranged from $8.70 to $11.05. Western receipts were again liberal and totaled 56,300 head, against 32,000 for the same day a year ago. The export demand for lard continues slow. Liverpool lard futures followed the advance in American markets on Wednesday and closed firm, 9d. to Is. higher. Today futures closed 5 to 12 poihts up with the exception of July, which showed a net gain of 20 points. The wild upward movement in the grain markets, especially in corn—is naturally affecting lard be¬ cause of the greatly diminished supplies and expensiveness of feed, which will in turn affect hogs and lard.

Coal—New York coal merchants generally expect a slowly rising early autumn industrial demand, beginning about midAugust. The anthracite handlers, as well as the domestic bituminous trades look for a fair upturn also in early buying by retailers, who have reduced stocks and have been for the most part out of the market since early June. Many op¬ erators in southern West Virginia are now on a six-days-aweek working basis to meet run of mine requirements. Bituminous production for the third successive week rose in the seven days ended July 25th. The output then was 7,220,000 tons. For three weeks to July 25th it was 21,104,000 tons, and the weekly average 7,074,000 tons, com¬ pared respectively with 16,378,000 and 5,459,000 tons a' year ago. Copper—The only real development of interest was the production quotas abroad, placing foreign producers on a 75% basis owing to the heavier consumption in European countries, this of course applying to those com¬ panies operating under the restriction agreement. This is an advance from the current permitted rate of 70%. Primary copper production of foreign companies on the 30% curtail¬ ment basis was around 66,000 tons monthly, or 792,000 tons a year. The new 25% curtailment will permit a monthly output of about 70,000 tons, or 848,400 tons annually. In the opinion of the domestic copper trade, the quota increase is a modest one, considering the present heavy consumption of the metal abroad. Recent heavy purchases of copper by Great Britain, the Continent, Russia and Japan have re¬ duced supplies to below normal. Foreign purchasing in the domestic market, moreover, was held responsible in a measure for the recent advance of copper Jo the 9%c. level, from 9^c. Sales have been rather light during the past week, which was to be expected in view of the very heavy buying by consumers recently for delivery over AugustNovember period. June statistics revealed world stocks of around 460,000 short tons, of which approximately one-half was held in the United States, a reduction of 7,000 tons from the previous month. increase of copper Tin—The feature of the week was the outcome of the Siamese negotiations, reports upon which were most confus-. ing, and led to considerable irregularity in the markets. Early advices stated that there had been "mutual acceptance of the principle of renewing tin restrictions (with Siam), but further negotiations were necessary as to quota." Gains of more than £3 were quickly scored at London, and with American buying reported a factor, prices rose further at the second session Wednesday, making the gain £6 5s on standard and £5 Trad¬ There contracts. futures and warehouses licensed by the Exchange decreased by 30 tons to 15,780 tons. During the day 140 tons were tendered for delivery against July contracts. London and Singapore closed quiet and steady, with prices showing slight advances. Local closing: July, 16.45; Sept., 16.48; Dec., 16.60; Mar., 16.70; May, 16.79. On the 29th inst. futures closed 1 to 5 points lower. Sales totaled 150 tons.

With these advances abroad as ar made here in Straits for October at 41.62 Ho. Later advices severely checked this feeling of were • 784 Financial optimism concerning Siam negotiations, and naturally affected prices. One report had it that a cable was received by Amsterdam from the International Tin Committee to the effect that the Siam deadlock had been ended without coming to any definite agreement. A Reuters advice from Batavia quoted M. Vandebrook, committee delegate who conferred with the Siamese officials last week, as stating that nego¬ tiations "have been definitely broken off." He added that negotiations will only be resumed at Siam's request. Arrivals of tin at Atlantic ports for July so far total 5,936 tons; at Pacific ports 320 tons; tin afloat to United States ports Thursday Was 5,476 tons; official warehouse report 265 tons. Lead—Although there is no urgent demand, the market's position is strong, and regardless of how quiet conditions become, the feeling prevails that prices will not only hold, but eventually go higher. It is estimated that some 80% of consumers' needs for August have been covered, with Sep¬ tember 20 to 25% taken care of. The American Bureau of Metal Statistics Wednesday showed that lead consumption outside of the United States this year has averaged 101,178 tons a month, against 98,665 tons in all of 1935, and 95,771 tons in 1934. The report is based on three to six months' consumption in leading foreign consuming countries. Zinc—A quiet demand for the metal has been in evidence. buying is being spread over a three-month period, with recent business calling for deliveries Prices continue steady. through October. Advices from It is reported that current zinc Idaho said that for the first time in ten years a $2,000,000 zinc plant in the Coeur D'Alene mining region is operating at full capacity. In the tri-State district operators have under¬ a reversal of sentiment since last week, and higher prices are now forecast for both the metal and the ore. Shipments of concentrate last week were the best in six gone weeks. Steel—Operations in steel showed further gains, the rate this week being estimated at 71.5% of capacity. This is an increase of 0.6 points over the previous week, and compares with 44% of capacity for the corresponding week last year. It is calculated now that steel buying has gathered sufficient fresh momentum to sustain production through August at approximately its present rate. This week's ingot output may be the peak of midsummer production. According to steel observers the outlook for the ensuing months is de¬ cidedly promising regardless of politics. Labor disturbance, has ceased to be a threatening factor. The current buying movement, which shows no marked signs of subsiding, has placed a fairly large accumulation of orders on mill books on top of the heavy June backlogs, not all of which has been shipped.. Accompanying the strong steel situation is a general mark-up of scrap prices, with heavy melting steel 50c. a ton higher at Pittsburgh, Chicago and Philadelphia, resulting in an advance in "The Iron Age" scrap composite to $13,67, compared with $13,25 last week. The sustained demand for finished steel products at this time, when normally a marked recession is in order—is one of the out¬ standing industrial developments of the year. Operations are maintained at leading steel centres at above 71% of capacity, and one of the most wholesome features is the diversified character of the demand for steel. Among recent orders received are 4,000 tons for a paper mill in Charleston by Virginia Bridge Co., 700 tons for rayon mill addition at Rome, Ga., also by Virginia Bridge, and 200 tons for a Southern Railway bridge in Virginia, by the same company.

The Movement of the Crop, as indicated by our tele¬ grams from the South tonight, is given below. For the week ending this evening the total receipts have reached 39,742 bales, against 28,419 bales last week and 16,973 bales the previous week, making the total receipts since Aug. 1, 1936, 6,788,727. Receipts at- Sat. Man. Wed. Tues. Fri. Thurs. Pig Iron—There was very little of interest in the reports from pig iron centers. However, furnace agents here recently were able to report the receipt of a good inquiry for pig iron in single carloads. A feature of this business is provided by delivery specifications running to the end of September, in addition to prompt delivery orders.. A large number of con¬ suming plants have been working on iron purchased during the last quarter of 1935, and it is expected these supplies will have to be replenished soon. Large iron orders are still lacking in current demand, and it is expected that business of this type will be deferred until fourth quarter buying gets under way. There are no indications as yet that a settlement of the Brooklyn Molders' strike will soon take place. On the whole sentiment in the trade is cheerful, the feeling being quite general that pig iron, will soon reflect in a substantial way the marked recovery of business and industry throughout the country. Wool—Conditions have been quiet, but regardless of this trade, dealers are holding firm, confident of the strength of their position. There are many inquiries, but few sales. It is reported that there is no cheap wool to be had in the Boston market at this time, and the consensus of opinion is that a stable basis on domestic wool has now been accomplished. Unsold stocks in growers' hands are not causing any uneasiness, the growers appearing just as confi¬ dent of their strong position as the dealers. Supplies held in growers' hands are scattered throughout many States. The foreign wool situation is regarded as generally healthy, and the strong position in crossbred wools is a rather notable feature. Heavy imports of foreign wool in the United States for the first half of this year are creating considerable interest on the part of domestic dealers. It was recalled that these imports reached a rather imposing expansion during the latter half of 1935, and naturallly substantial increases along slowness of 1,980 Houston " Galveston 1,596 265 686 14 76 Corpus Christi.. 1,066 2,240 , 7 1,907 2,538 2,850 2,136 2,013 "99 200 8 New Orleans Mobile....

At this point the market met considerable hedge selling and week-end liquidation, which caused prices to ease off, but at the close a substantial portion of the early gains were still holding firmly. An outstanding feature of the day's reports was the skyrocketing of the July delivery in the New Orleans market, the price of which was run up 135 points. Lack of certificated stocks and short covering forced the price to 14 cents. Reports from New Orleans were to the effect that few contracts changed hands at the top and that the sudden strength was attributed to a large bear operator who was forced to fill his requirements at the peak. Subsequently July in the New Orleans market dropped back to its relatively normal level and closed 18 points up from the previous day's close. The feature in the local market was buying by Wall Street interests, who were said to have reverse action of the market in a recent private crop report that These sales were estimated at about 20,000 bales, believed to have been hedging against pool stocks. reported that all of the final holdings of pool spot sold Wednesday.

At one time generally bearish, influenced largely by a private crop report published the early part of the week, which estimated the yield of the new crop at 12,800,000 bales. These figures were considerably above general expectations. On the 25th inst. prices closed 10 to 14 points up.

The current week's report, dated Dallas Cotton July 27, is as Exchange follows: TEXAS Abilene (Taylor County)—The past week has been hot and dry, and the early cotton is beginning to suffer, but if we get rain next week will make fair crop. Some early cotton is opening. weeks have been dry and warm, the three-inch rain we had. We are not suffering for rain now but a good rain would be beneficial. Shamrock (Wheeler County)—It has been hot, dry and windy with some hot winds this week. Average maximum daily temperature 100.6 and aver¬ age minimum daily 75 deg. Some cotton is now showing need of rain. It has all held up well during this long hot dry spell. Less than one-fourth r~ Floyda da (Floyd County)—The past two and cotton has made fine progress after ■ Cotton acreage about 6,000 acres less in this county than last year. This section must have a general good season soon if we are to gin as much cotton as last year. No prospects of rain now. Snyder (Scurry County)—The conditions in this part of the country are good, but it is getting dry. We will need some rain by next week to make inch of rain has fallen in Shamrock since a the was followed by clear sunshiny weather. Insect com¬ only nominal, and as a whole we consider the crop almost perfect right time, and are to date. . , Taylor (Williamson County)—Except for showers in the southern part of this county conditions have been favorable during the past week. have increased in territory where there have been frequent showers, Insects but not Fully 75% of the county has not had any rain for 10 days. Will get first bale around the first of August, but movement will not be general before the 20th. Temple (Bell County)—Showers over county this week were injurious. Complaints of cotton growing too fast and not fruiting. Also reports of fleas damaging cotton. Dry, hot weather necessary to make fair crop of cotton this county. * to the extent expected. Texas East - Longview (Gregg County)—Crop has continued to make good progress during the past week. Plants are loaded with fruit, with very little shedding. Expect about 35% increased yield over last year. No complaints of insects. Sulphur Springs (Hopkins County)—Cool nights and cloudy days past week have increased insect possibilities although very little damage as yet. Prospects continue good with large plants well fruited. jd Tyler (S7nith County)—Crop this section is progressing rapidly. Most of the crop is blooming with entire crop now reported about two weeks late. Some leaf worms have been reported in the bottom land, with only slight damage as yet. South Texas ' Corpus Christi (Nueces County)—Weather has not been favorable for past week. The sunshine did not last long in this section and it has rained in almost all parts since the 22d, and cotton was given another setback. Farmers are still poisoning and where possible they are picking. Picking should be general (if it quits raining) by the end of the coming week. Worms have been kept down but the weevil are more plentiful. Weather at present very unsettled. Harlingen (Cameron County)—Weather the past week has been partly clear and partly cloudy with showers. We have had altogether too much rain and what we most need is clear hot weather. - Condition of the plants is fine, there is a good tap root. Cotton is blooming in the top and fruiting satisfactorily. Insect damage is very slight. With good weather from here on we will make a big crop. San Antonio (Bexar County)—Showers the past three weeks have changed the condition of our crop considerably. Where poison has been used the crop has some better chance, but in the other localities the insects are making quite some headway, even the leaf worm is making its appearance. The plant is getting rather rank and we need hot dry weather to check the growth as well as the insects. Average opinions are that we should average about last year's production, which at first looked like it was double last year's. We have had showers every day and if these should continue there will be considerable boll rot. Present rainfall averages about seven inches above normal. ■ OKLAHOMA still having extremely dry, hot weather the crop is going to deteriorate very rapidly. To date it has held up remarkably well. Frederick (Tillman County)—Another week without rain, and about all we can say for the crop is it is holding up well and holding its fruit. No insect damage to speak of. The nights are cool, which is about the only thing that is in our favor. The general opinion is that if we can get rain in the next 10 days we will make a fair crop. Cotton on the high and tight lands is the only cotton that shows to be suffering badly for moisture Elk City (Beckham County)—We are and if we don't get rain right now right now. Hugo (Choctaw County)—Crop still making good progress in McCurtain and Choctaw counties, stalk full of bolls and blooms. Scattered showers, but need good rain. Moisture is sufficient at present, but getting dry. In Bryan, LeFlore and Pushmataha counties rain is needed. Some shedding, and progress is slow. Crop later this part of territory. Magnum (Greer County)—Continued dry past week with temperatures well above the century mark, resulting in 5% lower crop condition than a week ago. Pessimists now predict the crop will be one-third to one-half of normal, but with normal conditions thereafter believe would make fully last West Texas a Hillsboro (Hill County)—We had another perfect week for cotton inHhis Our rainfall for the week was about 2M inches, which came at territory. 83 low 57 dry high 100 3 days 4.18 in. high 98 dry high 101 1 day 0.08 in. high 102 dry high 93 dry high 96 2 days 0.94 in. high 94 .

As one individual put it, the flour mar¬ ket is making its history in the general grain market. It is thought that as soon as prices become stabilized there will be a large scale. prices closed unchanged to Trading was moderate, with prices more or less erratic. The grain belt over the week-end received the best general rains in weeks. It was stated, however, that these rains were too light to afford any real relief to the growing crops, particularly corn. Predictions of further unsettled weather and more rains induced considerable selling of wheat, causing prices to drop to l%c. from the opening level. There was a subsequent rally, prices closing near the top of the day, or about the same range as the previous close. There was nothing in the news, crop or otherwise, of real a resumption of mill buying on Wheat—On the 25th inst. Mc. higher. On the 27th inst. prices closed IIMjC. was attributed largely to the failure of the previous day's forecast of rains to materialize. This bullish news had a more pronounced affect on corn, the strength of this grain appearing to have a powerful pull on striking interest. higher. This firmness Volume Financial 143 the other grains. Strong Winnipeg and Liverpool markets played their part in the advance of Chicago wheat. Weather conditions over the Canadian belt continued unfavorable for the crop. Wheat in Buenos Aires advanced almost 2c. to new high marks as unsettled weather is again developing there. New wheat from the surrounding Chicago territory is coming to the local market quite freely. Sales for ship¬ ment fell off, and the trading basis was termed easier. On the 28th inst. prices closed 1 to 2c. higher. This advance was attributed to the persistent strength in foreign wheat markets and continued unfavorable crop conditions in Canada. The domestic weather and crop news was far from encouraging. The conspicuous feature of the trading was the scarcity of offerings. Hedging sales were very much lighter. Attention is being given now to diminishing re¬ ceipts of United States winter wheat and to word that the Dakotas and Montana are harvesting the smallest spring wheat crop on record. Another interesting item: A Canadian unofficial report indicated that because of ravages of drought and high temperatures the wheat crop of the prairie provinces had deteriorated to less than half normal. A condition of 45% contrasts with a condition of 76% at this time last year, and pointed to a yield of 215,000,000 bushels, as against 400,000,000 bushels suggested some weeks ago. On the 29th inst. prices closed 2H to 2%c. up. Continued bad crop reports coming in not only from American wheat areas, , but also from Canada—reports from which flatter are be¬ coming increasingly alarming—were the chief factors in¬ fluencing prices in their upsweep this session. Wheat in Buenos Aires, Liverpool, Winnipeg, Duluth and Kansas City advanced to new highs, or as much as 2H to 5c. The top prices at Chicago and Minneapolis came close to the highs of the previous season. An item of no small interest was the report that Italy, Belgium, Switzerland and Holland had jtined the United Kingdom in acquiring around 7,000,000 bushels from Canada during the past two days. This was looked upon as proof conclusive that wheat importing countries are not a little apprehensive concerning their wheat requirements, at least until next January, when the new Argentine and Australian supplies will be available. With a large portion of the world drawing on Canada for wheat supplies, and the Dominion's new crop prospects being dras¬ tically changed from day to day because of highly detrimental weather conditions—it doesn't require an expert to figure out the future trend of prices. It now appears certain that Canada's production will fall short of a normal export Chronicle light until just before the close. On the 28th inst. prices closed He. to lMc. higher. Good rains were re¬ sponsible for the early recession in prices. It was learned later, however, that the best rains fell outside of the heavy producing areas, and with further clear weather predicted, it was not believed that what remains of the crop is safe. Traders appear not disposed to make any substantial com¬ mitments until after the publication of private crop estimates Aug. 4, which are awaited with considerable anxiety.

The pronounced strength in corn was attributed to the general conviction that much of the crop is beyond repair, even though weather conditions should improve very materially. Therefore, this grain closed strong after showing early declines on reports of rains. On the 27th inst. prices closed 2 to 23^c. higher. Another blistering heat wave struck the corn belt over the week-end, which in some spots, was said to have put the finishing touch to the crop.

Canada suffered another rainless day, and the forecast was for continued clear and warm weather, which means further irreparable damage. Russia, which was expected to produce a surplus, is experiencing a destruc¬ tive heat wave. The quality of other European wheats is being lowered by excessive moisture at harvest time.

Besides; the alarm¬ ing statement of Secretary Wallace to the effect that unless beneficial rains occur in the next ten days in many areas of the corn belt, the corn crop will rank as one of the country's greatest failures—gave the trade and outsiders much food for thought.

The highest reported from first-order stations was 114 deg. at Concordia, Kan., on July 24, and at Omaha, Neb., on July 25. Showers were general and frequent from the eastern Ohio Valley east¬ ward and northeastward, but in the interior they were generally scattered and mostly light, though the last day of the period had more general and substantial rains in much of northern Missouri, north central and north¬ eastern Kansas, and eastern Colorado. Aside from these there was not enough rain to be of material benefit in Central and Northern States from the Mississippi Valley westward. The week, as a whole, had about normal temperature in the South and somewhat below normal in the Northeastern States; otherwise the weekly means were above normal generally throughout the country, ranging from about 6 deg. higher than normal in the central Ohio Valley to as much as 12 deg. or 13 deg. in the central and northwestern Great Plains. Rainfall of the week relieved, at least temporarily, droughty conditions in considerable portions of the Ohio Valley and locally in the lower Mis¬ souri Valley and southwestern Plains; also frequent rains from "West Vir¬ ginia and northern Virginia northward were decidedly helpful in most localities. Moisture conditions in the Southern States are mostly satis¬ factory, except in the northwestern Cotton Belt.

In Iowa reports from 113 stations, up to July 26, show a State average rainfall for the month of only 0.42 inch, or 14% of normal. Only in three years of weather records Volume 143 Financial , has 1July had an average of less than 1.50 inches—0.50 in 1886. 1894, and 1.49 in 1930. The general situation is rather favorable in the Atlantic area, 0.63 in except needed, especially for pastures, in New York and locally, while many central and western counties of Virginia continue extremely dry. Crops are doing well also in most of the Cotton States, except northwestern Arkansas and Oklahoma. In the interior valleys showers of the week were iecidedly helpful in northeastern Ken¬ tucky, northern and central Ohio, much of southern and northeastern Indiana, and also east central Illinois, while late crops improved in much of Michigan. Other areas favored during the week were eastern Colorado, that more rain is in Pennsylvania, northeastern Kansas and northwestern Missouri. With the above exceptions, conditions throughout the interior and the Northwest became progressively worse, with the heat and dryness of the growing season, April 1 to July 28, exceeding the severity of the 1934 drought. West of the Rocky Mountains conditions continue mostly favor¬ able, especially for irrigated crops which are doing well; also most pasture lands and ranges are fair to good. The heavy rains of the past week were especially favorable in Arizona, but it was too warm for late spring grains in the Pacific and somewhat better than expected in a fully up to ex¬ good many places. are However, unfavorable conditions in the Northwest caused further deterio¬ ration in spring grains in that area. In South Dakota yields from spring wheat are decidedly disappointing, while the weather was entirely too hot dry in Montana. Spring wheat harvest has begun in North Dakota, but most of the crop is being cut for feed or fields are being used for grazing. In parts of Minnesota conditions are somewhat better, ranging from very poor in the extreme west to good locally in parts of the southeast. Grain sorghums probably still have a chance in the lower Great Plains. Rice is doing well in Louisiana. and Corn—In general the corn crop continued to deteriorate rapidly in of the principal producing sections. Showers were helpful and the shows improvement in the eastern Ohio Valley, especially in much of Ohio and parts of Indiana, while there was some local help in Illinois Where late fields still have prospect. In Illinois condition of corn is still fair in considerable areas of the north, but poor elsewhere, with heat causing further tassel burning and firing and early ears barren. In Missouri the crop, in general, seems to be standing up somewhat better than in 1934, but is mostly poor to a failure, with much beyond help. In Texas progress and condition were mostly good. In Oklahoma deteriora¬ tion was rapid, except in a few localities, with upland corn almost a complete failure and cottom lands badly burned. Corn has been largely de¬ stroyed in the Plains States and much is beyond recovery in Minnesota. In Iowa weather conditions have been more trying on corn than to this time in 1934, and the crop appears to have suffered greater damage than in that year.

New York State—Legal Investments for Savings Banks— Banking Department has compiled a new list of securities considered legal investments for savings bank funds, this new list being dated July 1, 1936. This new list has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Sec¬ tion 52 of the Banking Law. The municipal sections of the following list are presented under sub-headings correspond¬ ing to paragraphs and sub-sections of subdivisions 5-a, 5-b and 5-d of Section 239 of the Banking Law, as amended by the 1928 Legislature. The statement as given by the Superintendent of Banks which accompanies the list follows: The State STATE BANKING DEPARTMENT, ALBANY. N. Y. The following list of securities considered legal investments for savings banks has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of Section 52 of the Banking Law. The list is prepared for the protection of the trustees of savings banks, and should not be considered a guide for executors, administrators or trustees generally. Neither should it be considered as having been intended for the use or dealers in securities. The trustees of savings banks are not, because the duty of making a of this list, relieved of careful investigation on their own part into the In fact it would be improper for trustees legality of their investments. savings banks to place their sole reliance upon the list. It has been prepared after a thorough investigation into the legality of the securities listed, and is believed, therefore, to be substantially correct; but, not¬ withstanding the care that has been exercised in its preparation it is not to be assumed that the list is a complete and infallible guide. The pro¬ visions of the Banking Law relating to legal investments for savings banks must for the most part be applied as of the date of investment. Con¬ ditions vary so from time to time that securities which were legal invest¬ ments on the date they were placed upon the list may even now be dis¬ qualified. Vice versa, securities which are not included in this list may now be found to be legal. Therefore, the trustees of savings banks, should for their own protection, supplement the work of the Department by their own careful investigation into each doubtful case. The conditions under which securities may be considered legal investments for savings or , RECONSTRUCTION^FINANCEICORPORATION Amends Bond banks Offering Notice—In connection with the report of the offering by the Reconstruction Finance Cor¬ poration ^on Aug. 11 of various issues of State and municipal bonds taken over from the Public Works Administration, we are advised by H. A. Mulligan, Treasurer, that the amount of the Evansville, Ind., 4% sewage works revenue bonds to be sold has been reduced from $480,000 to $458,000. This latter amount will mature Aug. 1 as follows: $22,000 from 1937 to 1940 incl.; $32,000 from 1941 to 1945 incl. and $42,000 from 1946 to 1950 incl. The difference of $22,000 represents the amount that was to mature Aug. 1, 1936. PUBLIC are contained in Sec. 239 of the Banking Law. An Important provision of the law requires that certain municipalities shall have power to levy taxes on the taxable real property therein for the payment of their obligations without limitation of rate or amount. Municipalities to which this provision applies are specified. However, it must be left to the trustees of the savings banks to satisfy themselves that the securities comply with the law on the question of unlimited taxes. It is presumed that in so doing they will be assisted by an attorney's opinion accompanying the bond issue or by an opinion of their own attorney. As the cost of preparing the list is assessed upon the savings banks, fufficient copies have not been printed to enable us to make a general distribution. You may communicate desire. with this Department for any further information you may "WILLIAM R. WHITE, Superintendent of Banks. July 1,1936.

Communities re¬ ceiving the allotments in each instance contributed from local funds 55% of the cost of the project. Schools, waterworks, sewers, public buildings, bridges, municipal power plants, viaducts, hospitals, libraries, fire stations, laboratories, street improvements, disposal plants, piers, and similar types of useful, recog¬ nized, local works comprise the list, as in previous PWA programs In each case the community benefited selected the work with its own knowledge of its need and backed its choice with an offer to provide more than half the finance required as a local contribution from local funds. • . Regulations for proceeding with construction of these 352 projects follow those developed steadily by PWA in two previous programs under¬ taken since 1933, with contract construction awarded in the regular es¬ tablished method to the lowest competitive bidder. Plans have been proposed by the local body making the application. These bodies will let, superintend and administer the work according to local practice subject to the terms in their grant or loan agreements with PWA which will assist and inspect the work to insure fulfillment of agreement and sound, economical, permanent construction. V. Funds for the 352 allotments result from the recent action of Congress freeing accumulated assets of the Public Works.

Congress specified up to $300 000,000 of the PWA revolving fund, resulting from prior loans made bv PWA which are being recovered with interest and profit, should be used at the direction of the President, for allotment grants to assist local bodies in carrying forward the same type of permanent improvement works SAVINGS BANKS.

Rosenman in Supreme Court on July 30 that it intended to collect taxes on the buildings of Knickerbocker Village, the housing project for white collar workers on the lower East Side. The city contends that the buildings are not being used for the purposes described in the State Housing Law. [1st 5s, 1956, series G.J 1st 4s. 1961, series H. u a .. ,, The city's argument was in opposition to a motion of Knickerbocker Village, Inc., operators of the project, for a summary judgment ordering the Board of Taxes and Assessments to vacate an assessment of $5,150,000 the buildings and improvements of the land occupied Value Put at $7,000,000 by the Village. held that the assessment for the whole project, including value of the real estate, should be $7,000,000, fixing the value of the land at $1,850,000 for 1935. Justice Rosenman reserved decision on the applica¬ tion to vacate the assessment, which concerned only that placed on the buildings. John M. Gaston, Jr., Assistant Corporation Counsel, argued that if the State Housing Law were held to apply to the present use of Knickerbocker Village the law would be unconstitutional. He denied, however, that the project, because of its use, comes under the law. He said that the constitutionality of Local Law 9, under which the Board of Estimate granted the project exemption, was also open to question, because apparently it discriminated among public housing projects with¬ out establishing any real classifications for projects which should or should not be exempt.

Mr. Lee attacked validity of the Act on the grounds that it was special legislation in that it excluded first-class cities from its provisions; that it violates the law forbidding other persons except election officers and voters being present in the room where voting is done, and that the machinery for registration is insufficient to register all voters on the day of the primary, Aug. 1. Judge Thomas held that the Legislature had the right to pass a universal Registration Act, and that registration in first class cities already had been provided for..
