The Financial Situation.
During the week money has continued easy,
thouggh with a slight upward turn on Friday. Business remains good and there is evidence of a drift
towards stability in commodity prices, the Irving
Fisher index for the week ended June 11 standing
at 153.6, as compared with 151.8 at the end of the
previous week, and a level slightly above 152 during
the previous month. Bond prices have continued at
or near the recent peak, the Dow-Jones average of
40 industrial bonds having reached a new high on
Saturday, the 12th, at 95.52. On the Stock Exchange the pace has again become fast and furious
and there have been a number of notable advances
of high grade and well sponsored industrial stocks,
such as United States Steel common, General Motors, du Pont, Marland Oil, Atlantic Coast Line, and
others. The situation has become increasingly uncomfortable for speculators with short commitments, and in all probability there has been considerable short covering during the week.
In a number of prominent stocks the advances
during the last two weeks have been of prodigious
proportions. United States Steel common has been
a conspicuous leader in the upward movement, and
on Thursday touched 139%, the highest figure in
its history. This compares with a closing price on

conspicuous in the same way and Baldwin Locomotive, which closed June 4 at 105%, advanced to 117
yesterday, though reacting to 113%. These illustrations might be extended to include many other instances of the same kind.
It will have been noted that the relapse yesterday
afternoon was very pronounced. It seems to have
been the result of selling to realize profits made
under the cover of the further sensational advances
established in the morning. The selling was concentrated on share properties like United States
Steel common, General Motors, and some others
which had been so conspicuous in the rise. Even
after this set-back, however, the Dow-Jones average
for industrial shares shows an advance for the week
of about five points. Such a rapid advance in prices
as has occurred the present month is necessarily
accompanied by considerable speculative buying,
which causes price instability. Therefore, even so
good a stock as Steel was no doubt in a vulnerable
position.
Current developments are apparently rather confusing to many with fixed ideas as to future market
movements. There has been is very great improvement in late years in the amount of available data
in respect to bond and stock values, and there are
many security services of real value. However,
both those who take these services and those who
put them out seem too prone to measure the future
by the past, that is, to rely upon charts and to depend upon repetition of market movements. Movements of average prices of bonds or stocks can have
only general significance. The reaching of certain
definite points or the failing to reach these points
is of no real importance. Investors do not buy and
sell averages, but rather individual securities.
Therefore, study of individual situations is far more
significant than the charting of averages. But, of
course, every individual situation is governed not
only by the particular conditions of the business, but
by general conditions affecting all business. Market movements reflect the operation of an almost
3378
THE CHRONICLE
infinite number of causes on a large number of securities. These causes are all brought together and
operate through actual buying and selling orders,
and the preponderance of one or the other of these
determines the direction of a movement in an individual security. Operating causes are constantly
changing. Probably a given combination of these
is never repeated. It is, therefore, illogical to look
for mechanical repetitions.
On the other hand, it is of the greatest advantage
to study available data and general conditions in
order .to determine the tendencies in individual
business enterprises bearing upon the value of individual securities. These individual movements are
of far more moment to investors than mass movements
brought about by speculative trends, which now and
then develop and sometimes acquire great momentum, causing securities to run temporarily to absurdly high or low levels. For some weeks past
mass movements in security prices have not been
conspicuous, but the last few days there has been
strong evidence of them and with the continuance
of easy money they are liable quickly again to become a menace.
The movements in United States Steel and General Motors have been conspicuous during the past
week. These may be speculative movements and
the ground gained may be lost in the near future.
On the other hand, movements in these stocks do
not bear earmarks of the wild speculation which
prevailed in connection with a large number of securities during the winter prior to the break in
March. Still it behooves investors to be cautious.
The week's new financing included several large
public utility issues. On Wednesday a syndicate
headed by Spencer Trask & Co. sold $23,000,000 Nevada-California Electric Corporation first trust
mortgage 5s of 1956 at 951h, to. yield about 5.30%.
These bonds represented the entire refinancing of
the bonded debt and replaced a number of issues
bearing a 6% coupon. The corporation is one of the
large Pacific Coast utilities and it generates hydroelectric current in the Sierra Nevada Mountains as
far north as San Francisco, while its distributing
line runs south to the Mexican border. On the same
day Drexel & Co. and Bonbright & Co., Inc., offered
$15,000,000 Public Service Corporation of New Jersey secured 51/
2s of 1956 at 99, yielding about 5.57%.
These bonds, together with the $19,698,000 6% series
of 1944, are secured by pledge of most of the common stock of the Public Service Electric & Gas Co.
This company represents the most promising portion
of the Public Service properties, namely the gas and
electric utilities, which in recent years have contributed most of the earnings of the system.
The monthly statement of the foreign trade of the
United States for May, issued by the Department of
Commerce at Washington on Tuesday of this week,
is in some respects even more unsatisfactory than
the reports for some of the earlier months of this
year, though this time the trade balance is in favor
of this country. Merchandise exports in May further declined and are again reduced in value, not
only in comparison with the corresponding month
of last year, but they are smaller in amount than for
any month back to last July, with the single exception of the short month of February. Merchandise
imports last month, as it happens, were also less,
[VOL. 122.
showing a considerable falling off in value in comparison with each preceding month this year and
being smaller than the amount reported for May
1925—in fact, being less than for any month since
November 1924. All of this, both as to merchandise
exports and imports, is greatly at variance with
conditions as they have prevailed during the past
year or so. Heretofore the tendency in our foreign
trade has been in the direction of higher values, but
to some extent April, and to a greater degree May,
shows quite a recession. Furthermore, since the
opening of this year the unusual situation of a balance on the import side has marked the monthly
statements of the foreign trade of the United States,
a condition reversed in the May report, which shows
an excess of merchandise exports again.
Merchandise exports last month amounted to
$356,000,000, as against $387,871,000 in April and
$370,945,000 in May 1925. For the short month of
February this year merchandise exports were valued
at $352,905,000, and with this exception no month
since July last has shown as low a value in exports
as the month just closed. Likewise as to imports;
the value for May this year is $318,000,000, for April
it was $397,943,000 and for May 1925 $327,519,000.
It is necessary to go back to November 1924, when
the value of merchandise imports was $296,148,000,
to find lower figures for a single month than appears for May 1926. There was a trade balance for
May this year on the export side of $38,000,000—for
April the excess was on the import side and
amounted to $10,092,500. This was also the case
for each of the three preceding months of 1926, January to March, inclusive, the total import balance
for those three months being $123,450,600, a very
substantial sum, and, as stated above, a very exceptional condition.
So marked was the change in the movement of our
foreign trade in the early months of this year, that
indications seemed to point to some change in our
trade relations with other nations due to the new
economic position assumed by the United States in
recent years, as a result of the World War. And
it is not entirely clear as yet that such may not be
the case. Some rather exceptional trade movements
in certain commodities, however, have contributed
materially to the altered position of our foreign
commerce. Cotton exports tended downward early
in the year, and the heavy loss in cotton values, due
in large measure to a lower range of cotton prices
during the past crop year as compared with the preceding year, contributed very materially to the decline in our export trade. To a slight extent this
has been changed in the past two months. Cotton
exports were larger in quantity in May this year
than they were a year ago,'419,459 bales exported
last month comparing with 330,967 bales in May
1925. In value, however, the loss continues, the
decline for May this year compared with May 1925
for cotton being $284,000. For April this year cotton exports were also larger as to quantity than
they were for the preceding year. The average export price of cotton for May this year, though, was
only 19 cents a pound, whereas it was 24.8 cents per
pound in May 1925, hence the loss in value.
Smaller imports last month are likewise attributable to a reduced movement of certain important
commodities. Merchandise imports in May as contrasted with April declined $80,000,000. Of this
amount the Department of Commerce reports $10,-
JUNE 191926.]
THE CHRONICLE
000,000 is attributable to a decline in quantity and
price of crude rubber brought into the United States
last month. The average import price of crude rubber in May this year was 55 cents per pound, against
62 cents in April, 75 cents in March,80 cents in February, but only 37 cents in May 1925. It further appears that for the month of May this year imports
of coffee into the United States fell off $9,000,000
from the preceding month, and that there was also a
sharp decline in May in importations of jute and
burlap.
. For the eleven months of the current fiscal year,
which ends with June, merchandise exports from
the United States amount to $4,414,901,000, as
against $4,541,233,000 for the same period in the
preceding fiscal year, a loss of $126,332,000. This
is the first year since 1922 that a loss has appeared
in exports. The loss is not large, however, although
it all occurred in the past few months. Imports, on
the other hand, show great expansion, the total for
the eleven months of the current fiscal year being
$4,126,753,000, in contrast with $3,498,912,000 for
the same period of the preceding fiscal year, an increase of $627,841,000. Not since 1920 have merchandise imports exceeded the value reported for the
current fiscal year. The excess of exports for the
past eleven months amounts to only $288,148,000;
for the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal
year the excess of exports was $1,042,321,000.
Exports and imports of gold were reduced last
month, both as compared with the preceding month
and with May of last year. The movement either
way, however, for some time has not been espedaily large. Gold exports in May were $9,342,927
and imports $2,934,665. For the eleven months of
the current fiscal year gold exports have amounted
to $110,092,931 and gold imports $191,846,399, an
excess of imports of $81,753,468. For the corresponding period of the preceding fiscal year there
was an excess of exports of $112,298,277, while the
movement for each fiscal year from 1919 to 1924 has
all been the other way, the excess of gold imports
for each year, excepting alone 1919, being very
heavy. Exports of silver in May were $7,930,810,
and imports $4,860,784.
France was still without a Cabinet, according to
the latest Paris cable advices received before going
to press yesterday. Aristide Briand informed President Doumergue of his inability to form his tenth
Ministry. In doing so it was said that he "advised
the President to call Edouard Herriot to the Premiership." The President accepted the suggestion
and M.Herriot agreed to make the effort. The Associated Press representative in Paris cabled last evening that "M. Briand gave up his own efforts to
form his tenth Cabinet because M. Herriot had refused to bring the support of the Radical Party to
the new combination. M. Briand announced he
had been promised the collaboration of former President Poincare and had hoped, with this good start,
to form a Government in which political quarrels
would be abandoned and a united effort made to
solve France's pressing financial problems."
The following account of the situation was given
by the Paris correspondent of the New York "Evening Post" in a dispatch, also last evening: "The
Socialists having blocked Aristide Briand in his
effort to form a National Union Government, the
Premier failed in a last effort to find a majority
3379
for a broad concentration Cabinet which would include the Republican Socialists, represented by Paul
Painleve and Left -Republicans, headed by Maurice
Bokanowski. Edouard Herriot, after a consultation with Leon Blum and the other Socialist leaders, decided against participating in a National
Union Government because of the Socialists' refusal to enter the combination. M. Herriot named
the conditions on which he would enter any future
Ministry. These include a prior agreement on a
definite finance program which would oppose the
ratification of the Berenger-Mellon debt agreement
and any borrowing abroad. The Chamber of Deputies and the Senate adjourned until Tuesday."
The French Cabinet that resigned on June 15 was
the ninth Cabinet of Aristide Briand. The Associated Press representative in Paris cabled that
"the Ministry's resignation was placed in the hands
of President Doumergue at 7 o'clock this evening"
(June 15). The correspondent added that "a communique said the Cabinet was unanimous in its decision." The resignation of the Cabinet was precipitated finally by the resignation earlier in the
day of Raoul beret, Minister of Finance. According to the Associated Press representative also, "the
direct causes of M. Peret's retirement were Premier
Briand's refusal to form a 'national union' Government, with all parties represented, and resistance
both inside and outside the Cabinet to some of his
projects, which were thought to amount to inflation." It was stated, furthermore, that "M. Peret
resisted the earnest persuasion of President Doumergue to remain in the Cabinet because he felt it
was impossible to continue in the face of increasing
difficulties without sufficient support. The opposition inside the Government came from the radical
Ministers, continually urged by their colleagues in
the radical group of the Chamber to resist M. Peret's
plans. The Chamber never willingly accepted the
Briand Cabinet."
As for M. Peret's plans for stabilizing the financial situation, the Associated Press correspondent
said: "A violent press campaign has been waged
against the inflation which, according to M. Peret's critics, was involved in the scheme to put the
paper money circulation and short-term bonds in
the same basket. M. Peret proposed to announce
that holders of these bonds, if they wanted their
money, would be paid in additional issues of paper
currency; that is to say, the paper circulation would
be increased in the same ratio as bonds were reimbursed. This announcement, he held, would induce
holders to renew their bonds, and if they did not the
Government would simply transform the bonds into
non-interest-paying paper money."
Paris cable dispatches received here soon after
the announcement of M. Peret's resignation indicated that the Cabinet as a whole might not give up.
Still in a later Associated Press cable message it
was made known that "the Ministers, after examining the situation caused by the resignation of Finance Minister Peret this morning, decided it was
best to give President Doumergue full liberty of action."
The situation was outlined in greater detail in
part as follows: "Several of the Ministers, at a
Cabinet meeting this morning, were in favor of a
union of all parties, while others were for a Govern-

ment chosen exclusively from the Radical-Socialist
coalition. The Chamber of Deputies, ,309 to 195,
had acceded during the day to M. Briand's request
for postponement until Thursday of debate on the
interpellations regarding the financial situation and
M. Peret's resignation. The Chamber adjoured to
Thursday. Premier Briand did not make the postponement of the interpellations a question of confidence. Before the vote, he paid tribute to M. Peret,
saying the latter had done conscientiously everything possible, but certain support upon which he
had counted to protect the franc had not materialized. It was for that reason, the Premier said, M.
Peret had decided to abandon the post." The correspondent added that "the resignation of M. Peret
seemed to have little effect on exchange." It was
suggested that "President Doumergue must now decide whether to ask Briand to form a new Cabinet
or to seek some other. There was discussion to-day
of the possibility that former Premier Edouard Herriott might be selected to succeed to the Premiership."
[vol.. 122.
Word came from Paris Wednesday afternoon that
President Doumergue had asked Aristide Briand to
form another Cabinet—his tenth—and that the veteran statesman had accepted the invitation. As he
left the Elysee Wednesday &ening, after having conferred with the President, he made the following
statement, according to a dispatch from the New
York "Times" correspondent in Paris: "It is my
intention to make my Cabinet very wide and with
this aim to ask all political groups to make a big
effort of abnegation and sacrifice in the interest of
the country, putting behind them the memory of'
their past quarrels and devoting themselves solely to
the work of reforming the financial situation which,
I believe, if not easy, at least very possible, if such
union as I am seeking is realized. I am anticipating that I will obtain indispensable help in the erection of a great Ministry which will derive its force
and its authority from the authority of the personalities who comprise it—a Ministry which will assure a solid majority without which nothing serious
can be done to redeem the financial situation. Without such grouping and without a solid majority behind it there can be no return of confidence in the
country, because there can be no security of Government. If, on the other hand, I succeed in my endeavor, the things which were impossible to me yesterday, whatever my desire for their accomplishment, will become immediately reliable and I shall.
not scruple or hesitate to use all the authority and
force I command to overcome obstacles which were
yesterday insurmountable."
In his own words,the New York "Herald Tribune"
correspondent outlined the situation in part as follows: "Aristide Briand has accepted from the hands
of President Doumergue a mandate to form France's
new 'national union' Cabinet and has begun his
work. The veteran statesman, now engaged in building the tenth Cabinet of his long political career,
was assured by the President, the 'Herald Tribune'
is informed, that Raymond Poincare, war-time Pres-.
ident and three times Premier, is ready to collab:
orate with the new Government. Briand announced
that if he succeeds in forming a Cabinet composed
of the leaders of virtually all the political divisions
he will ask the Chamber to vote the new Government
a free hand in working out a solution for the national financial difficulties. He also would favor
the earliest possible ratification of the Franco
American debt agreement and thereafter would suggest that Parliament take a long vacation. France
thus may be looking into the face of a national dictatorship by political and public consent, lack of
which so far has brought the country to the verge of
financial disaster, and even now is threatening the
serious civic disorders due to the precipitate weakening of the franc and the resultant rise in the cost
of living. The Premier at once began to solicit the
loyal co-operation of every prominent political
leader, beginning at the Left with the Socialist, Paul
Boncour, and continuing with M. le Trocquer, Louis
Loucheur, Poincare and others. His calculations
exclude only the Communists and the extreme
Right."
The Cabinet situation shortly before Premier Briand handed in its resignation,was outlined in part
as follows by the Paris representative of the New
York "Times" in a cable dispatch on June 13: "The
fate of the Briand Government for the next fortnight hinges on the exchange rate. Two weeks from
now the Government intends to bring forward the
plans of its committee of experts. If the franc holds
its own fairly well between now and then, the Government probably will be secure during that period,
whereas if the franc slumps badly, there will in all
likelihood be an upset before then. What will happen when the experts present their plan, with all
the sacrifices it will call for, will be another story.
At present the Parliamentary situation is regarded
on all sides as a temporary one."
A day later, on what proved to be the eve of the
downfall of the Cabinet, the same correspondent
cabled that "to-day's sudden fall in franc exchange
seems likely to provoke a lively debate in the Chamber to-morrow, which in the present uncertain situation may easily become dangerous for the Government. Marcel Cachin, Communist leader, has tabled
a demand for an immediate discussion of the exchange situation, its causes and consequences. Probably the Government will ask that the debate be
postponed, but that will not prevent Cachin speaking on the necessity of fixing a date for discussion
and so in a round-about fashion raising the whole
question. M. Briand and M. Peret had several long
conversations to-day on the subject, and to-morrow
the Cabinet will decide whether it will accept M.
Cachin's challenge to a public explanation of the
situation, or will once more seek a postponement.
If the latter course is adopted, as seems probable,
the parties in the Chamber once more will have to
take a decision on how to vote. That is where the
danger lies. The Right, which twice in the past
three weeks has saved the Government, is getting
restless, though it is not yet out of hand. The Left
will make common cause for once with the Communists, or at best abstain under Government presThe latest developments Thursday evening were
sure." As already shown, former Premier Briand
was able to secure a postponement of discussion of outlined in part as follows in a special London cable

forts to impose their will on Pilsudski."
Marshal Pilsudski, virtual dictator of Poland, is
seeking the advice of Americans in the matter of improving the country's financial system. A dispatch
from Princeton, N. J., to the New York "Times" on
June 15 stated that "Dr. Edwin Walter Kemmerer,
Professor of Economics at Princeton University,
Chairman of a special commission invited by General Pilsudski to study banking, currency, taxation,
accounting and Government-owned industries in
Poland and to suggest legislation for the improvement of the country's financial system, announced
to-day the names of the other members of the commission. They are Dr. Herley L. Lutz of Leland
Stanford University, public finance; Dr. Joseph T.
Byrne of Brooklyn, accounting practice and control;
Joseph A. Broderick, Vice-President of the National
Bank of Commerce of New York, practical banking;
Wallace Clark of New York, industrial management; Frank A. Eble of Washington, D. C., customs
administration, and Frank D. Graham, Associate
Professor of Economics at Princeton, General Seeretary of the commission. Frank W. Fetterman of
Princeton will be Secretary to Dr. Kemmerer. The
commission expects to sail for Poland June 23 and
to remain ten weeks, returning to the United States
in October, when Dr. Kemmerer will head another
mission, composed of the same members, to assist
the Governments of Ecuador and Bolivia similarly."
The New York "Herald Tribuune" representative
in Warsaw claimed to have received some definite
information as to Pilsudski's program for a new
form of Government. In a cable dispatch on June
The extent to which the Pilsudski regime in Pa
land proposes to submerge the Parliament and to
take everything into its own hands is further indiacted in the following Associated Press dispatch
from Warsaw under date of June 17: "For eighteen
months after July, or until Dec. 31 1927,Poland will
be in the hands of the executive power and without
any control of the legislative houses under a bill to
be presented to the Diet next week for approval. The
Cabinet last night finished the final wording of the
bill amending the Constitution. The prbposed
amendments increase the Presidential power and
limit Parliamentary importance. Under the bill
the President reserves the right to protest against
laws passed by Parliament, with the understanding
that Parliament has the right to reject a Presidential veto by an ordinary majority. The President
obtains the right to dissolve Parliament, but such
decision by him is to be countersigned by the Premier and all the Cabinet Ministers. For the timebeing the Presidency is in the hands of Ignace Moscicki, but it is possible that Marshal Pilsudski may
take office when the Constitution has been changed."'
The contest and even practical quarrel between
Lord Oxford and Asquith and Lloyd George for
leadership and control of the handful of the Liberal
Party left in the British House of Commons bid fair
at the beginning of the week to continue, with Lloyd
George getting the better of his political opponent.
The contest was suddenly and unexpectedly cut
short, so far as Lord Oxford was concerned, by the
announcement, on June 14, that he was suffering
3384
THE CHRONICLE
from heart trouble. The London representative of
the New York "Times" said in a wireless message
that evening that "Sir Thomas Parkinson, a heart
specialist, called to Sutton Courtenay, in Berkshire,
Lord Oxford's residence, at first diagnosed the illness as a mild attack of angina pectoris, but after
consultation a later bulletin reported the trouble to
be of a functional, not an organic, character, indicating that no serious lesions of heart or arteries
were present."
The "Times" correspondent further outlined the
situation as follows: "Absolute rest for a while has
been prescribed, and there is no possibility of the
invalid taking part in the Liberal Federation meetings at Weston-Super-Mare on Thursday and Friday. At this gathering the quarrel between the two
Liberal leaders seemed certain to come to a head.
Mr. Lloyd George had won the first two rounds of
his fight against the Asquithians by securing the
support of both the Liberal Parliamentary Party
and the Liberal Candidates' Association. This was
the situation last week, but over the week-end an
article comparing the merits of the rival sections
of the Liberal Party, and talking of war all along
the line, arpeared over the signature of Mr. Lloyd
George. This incensed the Asquithians, and it was
said the matter would be raised at the meeting of
the Executive of the Liberal Federation on Wednesday. Now comes Lord Oxford's seizure, to give a
new twist to the whole situation."
Announcement was made in a special London dispatch to the New York "Times" under date of June
17 that "the controversy between David Lloyd
George hnd Lord Oxford and Asquith has ended
nominally in a draw, though, if there were to be a
newspaper decision, the Welsh ex-Premier would
probably win on points." The latest developments
were outlined as follows in the dispatch: "He had
certainly won the first two rounds, fought respectively before the Liberal Parliamentary Party and
the Liberal Candidates' Association. The National
Liberal Federation, which was to have made a final
decision at a meeting at Weston-Super-Mare today, passed a resolution of confidence in Lord Oxford's leadership, but only after it had been explained that the resolution was in no sense a vote of
censure on Mr. Lloyd George. On this understanding Mr. Lloyd George's supporters allowed it to
pass. As they were apparently in a majority in the
hall, if not on the platform, they could have voted it
down if they had wished. This took place in the
morning. In the afternoon it became even more apparent that the honors of the day were to be carried
off by ex-Premier Lloyd George. His appearance
on the platform during a discussion of his land policy was the signal for an enthusiastic welcome from
his supporters. They stood up and cheered while
the opposing section, both on the platform and in
the hall, remained seated, grimly silent and apparently bored by the proceedings. Mr. Lloyd George
then exerted himself to the utmost to win over the
hostile section. It was one of the most effective
speeches he has made for some time and it.looked as
though it would succeed in its object. In the last
analysis, however, it failed signally, a reference by
the speaker to attending Liberal members of the
'shadow Cabinet' recalling all the old hostility."
[VOL. 122.
Baldwin made a speech in the House of Commons on
Tuesday in which he proposed adding an hour to
the working day "as the opening wedge toward a
settlement of Britain's extremely serious coal
strike." The London representative of the Associated Press cabled that evening that "Mr. Baldwin
said he had been influenced in his decision first and
foremost by the interests of the men. The Government proposed to leave the seven-hour act on the
statute books, but to introduce legislation enabling
an extra hour to be worked for a period of time. This
would not prescribe longer hours, but would permit
negotiations on a basis offering the prospect of a far
better scale of wages than that existing, he said."
Continuing his outline of the Prime Minister's
speech the correspondent said: "Mr. Baldwin said
he had received positive assurances from the owners that, on the basis of an eight-hour day, in coal
fields producing approximately half of the country's
output, the men could be offered.continuance of the
existing wages for July, August and September.
Over more than half the remainder of the country,
the reduction, if any, would be materially less than
the 10% drop which was at present requested by the
owners. The new wage could be guaranteed during
July, August and September, he added. During this
period the Government would proceed with reorganization legislation, and the owners would take
all possible steps to make effective such of the Royal
Commission's proposals as. might be necessary to
leave no ground for doubt that the men would get
all that was due to them." As to the effect of the
strike upon the supply of coal in Great Britain, the
correspondent added that "the Government has been
obliged to place orders abroad for maintenance of
essential supplies of coal, Prime Minister Baldwin
said, in opening the debate on the coal strike in the
Commons to-day." •
That the miners were in need of financial assistance was shown by the statement in an Associated
Press dispatch from London on June 15 that "the
Miners' Federation has appealed to all trades unions
for financial aid and asked the transport unions to
forbid their members to handle coal." Evelyn Preston, Treasurer of the British Miners' Relief Committee of this city, announced the day before "receipt
of a message from five English churchmen, endorsing an appeal to the church people of America to
send food to the British miners and their families."
According to the appeal, "four million miners, their
women and children are in the most desperate
straits. Last year they made the pitiful weekly
earnings of from $15 to $11. This year 300,000 men
have been averaging only $730 per week. No chance
to save on such earnings. Strike relief has been
given only in a few areas."
The Prime Minister's plan met with prompt and
determined opposition. The New York "Herald
Tribune" correspondent in London, in a dispatch on
the evening of June 16, said: "That Prime Minister Baldwin's proposal outlined to Parliament last
night to legalize an extension of the coal miners'
working day from seven to eight hours will stiffen

badly and handling the matter clumsily,' said David
Lloyd George, who was present at last night's debate. A statement attacking Mr. Baldwin and asserting that the miners would never yield on the
question of hours was given out by the miner's Secretary, A. J. Cook, following a protracted talk with
Arthur Henderson, the Labor chief whip. 'Baldwin's speech won't bring peace sooner: Instead of
bringing forth an olive branch it has unsheathed a
sword,' Cook said. A 'word-by-word' fight against
the eight-hour bill in Parliament is promised by
other Labor spokesmen, who said that every known
Parliamentary device will be used to hamper its
passage."
There has been considerable discussion in and out
of the British House of Commons of the reports that
the Soviet Government of Russian,or allied organizations, had contributed large sums of money in support of the striking coal miners of Great Britain.
Word came from Moscow on June 17, through an Associated Press dispatch, that "a resolution protesting against the recent British note to Russia concerning fuunds transmitted to the British coal strikers has been adopted by the Soviet Labor Federation.
The federation declares that Russian workers will
not tolerate interference by the British Government."
The position of the British Government was set
forth in a dispatch from London on the same date,
which stated that "the British Government is satisfied that the Soviet Government waived its regulation concerning the export of money to be transmitted to England during the recent general strike, Sir
William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, said today in the House of Commons. The Government,
however, has no intention, at all events at the present time, of withdrawing recognition of the Soviet
Government, he said. Sir William added that the
British Government is carefully watching the further action of the' Soviet Government and its affiliated organizations. If at any time the British Government became convinced that British interests
needed a change in policy the Government would not
hesitate to take the necessary steps, he added. Inasmuch as the general strike was of short duration
and since the Government had protested in its most
formal manner to the Soviet Government concerning the transferance of money to the British strikers,
Sir William said, the Government did not propose
at present to take the step of withdrawing recognition, as suggested by Oliver Locker-Lampson, Conservative."
The British Board of Trade figures for May, which
were made public on June 12, reflected the effects
of the recent general strike. The falling off of £25,413,000 in .exports, compared with May 1925, was
said to have been due chiefly to the much smaller
coal movements. According to a special London dispatch to the New York "Times" on June 12, "coal
exports last month were about 1,500,000 tons, worth
about $7,000,000, against more than 4,500,000 tons,
worth nearly $25,000,000 in May of 1925. During
the first five months of this year coal exports fell
far below the corresponding period of 1925, aggregating about 19,000,000 tons,worth about $85,000,000
against 22,000,000 tons, worth a:bout $115,000,000 in
the first five months of 1925. The only improvement in British coal exports during May of this year
3385
as compared with May of 1925, was in that sent to
Russia, which aggregated 7,440 tons, as against none
in May 1925.' It was added that, while "coal was
largely responsible for the export set-back, other
lines, notably the textile and manufacturing industries, likewise were hit hard. Compared with May
of last year, cotton goods exports decreased in value
by more than $25,000,000, while machinery exports
decreased more than $5,000,000, and worsted yarns
about $5,000,000. Iron and steel exports showed a
similar decrease."
Imports for May of this year, showed a big decrease in comparison with the corresponding month
of last year—£23,088,000. As against April of this
year the shrinkage was not so large in either item.
Exports were £10,710,000 and imports £19,528,000
smaller. The total figures for May and the first
five months of this year, compared with the corresponding periods of last year, follow:

Another and much larger gain in gold was shown
by the Bank of England in its statement for the
week ending June 16, namely, £810,166, while at the
same time the reserve of gold and notes in the banking department expanded £1,182,000, partly in response to a further contraction in note circulation
of £372,000. The proportion of reserve to liabilities
again touched a high peak for the current year24.71%—which compares with 24.03% last week,

deposits were again striking. Public deposits increased £4,483,000, but "other" deposits fell off
£2,931,000. Loans on Government securities expanded £1,460,000. In loans on other securities
there was a drop of £1,065,000. The Bank's stock of
gold now aggregates £149,793,333, which compares
with £157,596,429 last year and £128,235,145 in 1924
(before the transfer to the Bank of England of the
£27,000,000 gold formerly held by the Redemption
Account of the Currency Note issue). Reserve
amounts to £29,535,000. This compares with £31,373,964 in 1925 and £22,498,005 a year earlier. Loans
stand at £66,937,000, as against £70,949,551 last
year and £71,224,170 a year earlier, while note circulation is £140,008,000. At this time last year it
stood at £145,972,465 and at £125,487,140 in 1924.
Clearings through the London banks for the week

The Federal Reserve banks' weekly statements
that were issued on Thursday afternoon revealed
only comparatively minor changes in gold holdings,
but further substantial reductions in rediscounting
as well as open market operations. According to the
report of the System, gold reserves increased $3,400,000. Rediscounts of Government secured and
"other" bills combined declined $54,800,000, reducing total bills discounted to $393,330,000, which
compares with $448,163,000 last week and $441,964,000 a year ago. Holdings of bills bought in the open
market fell $6,700,000. Holdings of Government securities increased $63,900,000, owing to the issuance of $141,500,000 of temporary certificates of indebtedness by the United States Treasury to the Reserve banks pending the collection of the quarterly

circles to attribute the pronounced ease of the
money market, and likewise the much greater activity in the stock market, largely to the fact that the
Government on June 15 met all its extraordinary
obligations without new financing. So far as the
trustworthy advices received here indicated, the

has not changed sufficiently to affect the money
market greatly, one way or the other. The further

big rise in the price of United States Steel common
shares was accompanied by the announcement of additional price revisions upward in the case of at
least one important manufactured product. With
regard to a similar degree of activity and price advance in the case of General Motors common stock
it was stated that prodUction and sales in the automotive industry were going forward on a large scale.
In most sections of the United States weather conditions for the crops have been more favorable.
Railway officials are preparing for the movement
of a large volume of traffic in the fall by the purchase of additional facilities on a rather large scale.
Still, some authorities are predicting 'extremely
cheap money during the summer. On the other
hand, it was suggested that money might be firmer
for a short time, beginning early next week. It was
stated in banking circles that in the New York Federal Reserve District the Government has been disbursing more money than it has been taking in. The
reverse was reported to be true in most interior districts. It is said that as checks issued for taxes on
June 15 are presented there it may be necessary for
the institutions on which they were drawn to withdraw temporarily surplus funds now loaned on call
in New York. Naturally, this might cause an advance in rates here until the tax checks are paid
and the funds •find their way back to this market.
Then, again, such a development might be largely
offset by a continuance of liquidation in stocks such
as took place in the late trading yesterday.

No gold wag reported as engaged either for export or
import this week. The Bank of England bought
000,000 in gold bars and announced the import of
£500,000 in gold sovereigns from South Africa; also
the export of 07,000 to Spain, and sale of £5,000 in
gold bars.
The Continental exchanges continue to be swayed
by developments in the French situation, with the
chief topic of discussion the probable outcome of
the present debacle in franc values. As a matter
of fact, there was very little activity anywhere else
in the list, save where quotations moved sympathetically with the ups and downs of French currency. At the opening francs were fairly steady,
ranging between 2.93 and 2.91. By Monday, however, rumors of fresh disturbances in the French
political arena, succeeded shortly afterward by news
of the resignation of Finance Minister Peret, spread
consternation in foreign exchange circles and quotations crashed to another new low point of 2.72,
or 163/b points under the low record level established
last week. Speculation once more reacted disastrously upon values, especially in the absence of
official support, and selling by frenzied holders
for a while brought about conditions of utter demoralization. Exports of capital from France constituted a serious factor in depressing values. This
alarming state of affairs persisted up till Wednesday
when a buying movement was inaugurated in response to news that M. Briand had come to the
rescue and was about to attempt the formation of
a strong cabinet, and there was a recovery to 2.92.
Nevertheless, bankers hold out very little encouragement for genuine improvement, until the perplexing
financial problems of the country are definitely
faced and solved, and until action has been taken
in the subject of debt ratification, and before the
close there was a recession to 2.74%. Rumor persists
that approximately $87,000,000 of the $100,000,000
Morgan credit has been utilized to support the franc
in recent months, which would explain the apparent
sudden cessation of Governmental intervention recently. Antwerp francs followed the lead of the
French unit, though ruling appreciably higher, the

range being 2.99@2.80. A factor w'aich of course
tended to strengthen Belgian exchange was announcement that certain credits granted Belgium last year
had been renewed. Strong efforts, according to the
Finance Minister, are now to be made to stabilize
this currency. Italian lire, on the other hand, suffered a relapse and dropped to as low as 3.543/2,
though later recovering to 3.64. No specific reason
was assigned for the weakness, aside from the influence exercised by the franc, although it was thought
that recent restrictions imposed by the Government
on dealings in lire may have had an adverse effect
on the rate. There is some talk of the possibility of
trading in Italian exchange being limited solely to
the National City Bank of New York. There is
nothing new to report on German and Austrian exchange. Greek drachmae ruled dull and heavy at a
fraction from the low levels of last week-1.23M.
Polish zloties remained all week at 9.00, the figure
established at the close of last week. Rumanian lei
were firm and slightly higher, while Czechoslovakia
and Finland were not essentially changed.
The London check rate on Paris finished at 175.4,
against 168.10 a week ago. In New York sight bills

transfers, which compares with 1.233

In the neutral exchanges, formerly so-called, the
most noteworthy feature has been the trading in
Spanish pesetas, which under the stimulus of excited
buying shot up by rapid stages from 15.66 to 15.99,
then 16.24, mainly as a result of speculative activity,
also a shortage of peseta bills. So far as could be
learned, there exists no real reason for this spurt of
strength. Notwithstanding removal of the burden
of the Riffian military campaign, it is felt that general conditions in Spain do not warrant these high
levels. Trading was quite active in the Scandinavians, shifting this week to Swedish krone, which advanced 63/b points to 26.803/i on spirited buying, mostly for speculative account, also short covering. This
is the second time this year that the krone has sold
above par. Danish and Norwegian exchanges were
active and firm, though gains were wiped out frequently. Swiss francs were dull ,and only barely
steady at close to the levels of a week ago. Guilders
were easier and closed weak. Dutch business is
said to be suffering severely as a result of the British
coal strike.

course, judgment may well be deferred until the investigation is completed.
The larger significance of the Pennsylvania case
does not lie in the possible or actual use of money
for corrupt purposes, even though such use be on a
lavish scale, but rather in the distorted political conditions which the whole affair illustrates, and the
attitude of voters, candidates and party workers
which it reveals. Under the best possible conditions, the conduct of an election in a great State
like Pennsylvania cannot be carried through successfully without a very considerable expenditure of
money. The mere cost of providing facilities for
registration and voting, the printing and distribution of ballots, the guarding of the polls and the
like, must always be large if the work is well done,
and large, too, in proportion as the number of voters
to be dealt with is great or small. The total of such
necessary and legitimate expenditure has been appreciably increased by the adoption of woman suffrage, the suffrage amendment having practically
doubled the size of the electorate. Moreover, neither a candidate nor the party which he represents
is fairly to be denied a reasonable expenditure for
advertising, public meetings, travel and other necessary efforts to come into contact with the voters,
and such expenditures will also be large or small
according to the character of the constituency and
the amount or .kind of opposition. . Mere comparison, accordingly, between the total expenditure recently made in Pennsylvania and similar totals for
such States as Maine, Kansas or Idaho is meaningless as evidence of either extravagance or corruption. We must know the details before we can affirm with confidence how expensive, from the standpoint of legitimate cost, the election actually was.
Two aspects of the matter, however, are disquieting. The recent contest in Pennsylvania was a primary at which candidates were nominated. The
actual choice comes later. One cannot help asliing,
in view of the revelations that have been made,
whether the primary as we now have it is an electoral device which it is desirable to retain. In the
days when the abolition of the convention and the
substitution of the primary was being urged, one of
the strong arguments was that the new system would
insure a fuller, more intelligent and more unbiased
expression of the wishes of the voters in the selection of candidates, and that the questionable practices which often attached to the convention system
would be greatly weakened, if not eliminated altogether. A convention, it was said, could be bossed
or bought, but a primary could not. It can hardly
be said that the prediction has been fulfilled. Before
the Pennsylvania display 'of lavishness had attracted
the attention of the country, it had been demonstrated that the primary as well as the convention
could be controlledy and that party funds could be
used, if party managers so wished, for much the
to
same purposes as before. It would be difficult

[vol.. 122.
the primaries in that State were corrupt, but it
nevertheless goes far to show that the primary system there affords no sufficient safeguard against
possible corruption, and does not tend to discourage
a prodigal use of money in behalf of particular candidates. If the primary system in general is as
powerless at these points as it seems to have been in
Pennsylvania there would appear to be no special
reason for continuing it.
Beyond the apparent breakdown of the primary
lies another serious question, that of the attitude of
the electorate. Foreign observers have more than
once commented upon the extraordinary amount of
attention which the American voter demands in
order to get him to the polls. He insists upon flags
and bands and processions and posters and the
other familiar paraphernalia of popular excitement.
He expects paid watchers at the polls, paid workers
to bring out the vote, paid advertisements in the
newspapers, public meetings in hired halls, and paid
political mechanics to keep the party machine in
order. It is a commonplace that he is usually apathetic, save in times of crisis, if these things are not
provided, and he knows, or ought to know, that they
cost money. The fact that, in recent years, the
larger part of the legitimate expense of an election
has been transferred from candidates or parties to
the State or municipality has not greatly dulled the
appetite of the average voter for electioneering devices for which some one must pay, and more often
than not he takes them all as a matter of course.
When, accordingly, some unwonted display of cash
and credit is made, as has just been done in Pennsylvania, the natural inquiry as to whether sheer
extravagance or positive corruption has not characterized the election is likely to be met by the complacent rejoinder that the election was close, the
contest exciting, or the voters indifferent, and that
under the circumstances the battle was probably
worth all it cost.
Whatever the facts which the Senate investigation
may ultimately bring out, the Pennsylvania episode
will doubtless be widely used as a basis of charges
against the Republican Party, if not against the
Administration. The improper use of money in
former elections will be recalled, and the question
will be asked whether the country has entered upon
another period in which wealth is to dominate politics, and the candidate with the longest purse is to
be the predestined winner. Already it is being said
that the Democrats, who thus far have seemed to
lack a cardinal issue, are preparing to seize upon
this one as well suited to their purpose. The issue
is an unwelcome One, whatever use may be made of
it, but its larger lesson will have been lost if those
upon whom the whole affair most seriously reflects
look only at the surface. The successful working of
a democratic government depends upon the intelligent and spontaneous interest of the individual
voter. There can be no government of the people, by
the people, for the people unless the people are disposed to do their share without being paid or prodded. If individual concern for the welfare of the
State is lacking, party candidates and their managers will continue to pour out money in the efforts
to induce the voter to do what he ought to do of himself, and the story of Pennsylvania will be duplicated, with only local variations, in other Commonwealths. The remedy for the evil is in the hands of
the people, and it is for them to apply it.

Combined shipments of refined copper for domestic account
and export for the first five months of this year were at the
monthly average of 232,089,200 pounds, compared with a
month y average for the whole year of 1925 of 235,954,000
pounds. Domestic shipments for the five month period ended
May 31 1926, were at the monthly average of 150,015,000
pounds,against an average monthly rate last year of 138,528,
500 pounds. Exports of refined copper this year were at
the average of 82,075,200 pounds per month, compared with
97,425,500 pounds as the average monthly shipments during
1925. The increase in domestic shipments is indicative of
the broadening out of home consumption. The tapering off
in foreign shipments was more marked early in the year.
There has been a pronounced increase in the tonnage going
to European countries during the last three months.
Plans for European sales of copper on behalf of the new
Copper Export Trading Co., appear to be making headway.
Recent reports were to the effect that British and German
copper interests had decided to participate in the lately
organized company. Representatives of producers in this
country have been in London, Berlin and Paris to arrange a
[VOL. 122.
satisfactory program for the sale and distribution of copper
in European territory. With foreign co-operation secured
copper producers generally are hopeful that there will be a
more stable marketfor copper both at home and abroad. It is
understood that the enterprise will include the great Katanga
mines in the upper Congo, and Australian and European
producers as well as the South American sources of production. This huge combination will have the control of niost
all the copper product of the world. It is probably the largest
joint control of copper in the history of the industry. The
result of the big experiment is awaited with peculiar interest.
The totalcapacity of the electrolytic refineries in the United
States and Canada at present amounts to about 2,825,000,000
pounds per annum. Output for the current year thus far is
at a rate close to this annual potential capacity. Europe is
believed to be 10 years behind hand in the use of copper, and
we .are only entering upon the age of electricity. And
electricity can not get along without copper. Aluminum can
be used for transmitting lines but not for electrical machinery,
hence, it is said, the need of copper in electrical expansion is
evident. But the opinion prevails that there is an enormous
tonnage of mine reserves which can be prepared for the
market at short notice. That fact probably explains why
copper is selling so much below the last 30 year price average.
Consumers are not worrying about supplies as they profess
to see an ample output for all requirements.
There was a stronger tone to the market for copper lately.
The price advanced to the 14 cent level, but the advancing
tendency did not get above that figure and an easier tone has
developed since. There were sales at 14 cents delivered in
the Connecticut Valley, but the market appears to be waiting
for some definite development before resuming activity again
on a large scale.
Indications of Business Activity
THE STATE OF TRADE—COMMERCIAL EPITOME.
Friday Night, June 18 1926.
Again low temperatures have interfered with trade
throughout the country. Here in New York the mercury
has been down as low as 53 degrees, something almost without a precedent at this season. And in other parts of the
country temperatures have also been unseasonably low.
Such weather could not fail to have a distinctly prejudicial
effect on trade. In the Southwestern cotton region temperatures on the other hand have been 100 to 110. But in
general the weather has been something abnormal. The
South Atlantic States are still in the throes of a drought.
Parts of the Carolinas have had no rain for two months.
That certainly does not tend to help business. However,
rains in many parts of the country, including the West and
Northwest, have been of benefit to the crops. But aside
from that the effect of spring and almost winter temperatures in a summer month, has been not only to slow down
sales at wholesale and retail, but to make collections
slower. The clothing trades have sufferedl noticeably.
Cotton goods have declined with trade small. There is a
tendency to increase the curtailment of operations in some
of the Carolina cotton mills, and in one case a Fall River
mill closed down for an indefinite period. Wool has been
for the most part quiet, but it is said that Boston has just
made considerable sales of new clip territory wools without
being able, howevel, to advance prices. Cotton has advanced slightly because of drought in the Atlantic States,
the firmness of July delivery and a strong technical position. The July delivery has been carried up to 143 points
over October, which is something unheard of in recent
years. Texas advices have been in the main favorable and
that is also the case with most of the Cotton Belt. In the
last three weeks the percentage of condition has gained, it
Is stated, anywhere from 3 to 12% aside from a drop in the
Carolinas of 7 to 10%. Favorable June crop conditions in
the Cotton Belt are apt to be more or less deceptive and
people are going slow in banking on them this year. Cotton
consumption has been reduced more or less by the British
coal strike, and this, by the way, has also interfered with
the British trade in iron and steel, not to mention other
commodities. On this side of the water pig iron has declined, but at the lower prices it is said there have been
sales of considerable size. Steel sheets are also reported to
have sold rather freely at some reduction in quotations.
The grain markets have been Irregular, but on the whole
lower for Indian corn, partly because of beneficial rains in
the Corn Belt and partly because after Secretary of the
Treasury Mellon's broadside at the expense of the Haugen
bill and its manifest defects, there seems to be a reasonable
certainty that it will be defeated. It is a scheme purely
for the benefit, of the corn farmer, but which would not
operate to his benefit., It would only encourage him to increase his production. That would cause lower prices. He
would travel in a circle and get nowhere. The bill is so
cumbersome that it would be impossible to devise effective
machinery to carry it out. And if the corn farmer may
make a raid on the United States Treasury, why may not
producers of other commodities? The principle is pernicious
from every point of view. Secretary Mellon has done the
country a service in exposing this fact in the clearest light.
And now it appears that corn prices are nearing the export
parity. Wheat prices have advanced somewhat because the
spring wheat crop is not getting the best start imaginable
and, what is more, the outlook for European wheat crops
is anything but favorable. A significant fact is the announcement that the French Government has suspended the
import duty on foodstuffs. Quite a good export business
has been done in wheat in this country this week and it is
significant that of the total export transactions to-day of
1,500,000 bushels 50% was United States new winter wheat
and durum, and not entirely Canadian wheat, as has been
the case for a considerable period. Whether we shall have
any very large surplus of wheat to spare for export during
the season soon to open is another matter. It was noticed
to-day that rye advanced some 3 cents a bushel, with demand from Germany, where for some reason best known
to German officials, there is to be, it seems, an increased
duty levied. Coffee has advanced, partly owing to buying
by European and Brazilian interests and partly because of
rising prices in Brazil itself. Sugar has also risen with a
steady demand. Refined sugar interest has been hampered
by cold weather, but in the ordinary course of things it
cannot be long before there is the usual seasonal increase
in consumption. Taking the industries as a whole, they
might be in better shape. Steel mills are operating at about
the same rate as recently and some reports say that the
orders, even aside from steel sheets, are increasing. But
It appears that the buying is mostly for early delivery.
There is little buying ahead.
JUNE 19 1926.]
THE CHRONICLE
Not only is there curtailment of operations in the textile
trades, but the shoe industry is less active, and so are the
automobile and furniture industries. The minor metals
have shown an upward tendency and sales of zinc and lead
have been large. In retail trade Chicago will benefit from
the big church convention there, unless the weather is unusually bad. Yesterday it was 58 to 80 degrees there, and
clear. The flour trade here has been quiet, but in Kansas
City it is stated the mills are now operating at about 75%,
under the'stimulus of arrivals of new wheat there. The
marketing of spring wheat, by the way, has begun in Texas.
Hog products have been in active demand at rising prices.
The trading in soft wood lumber has been on a larger scale.
Taking commodities in general, advances in prices have
been more numerous than declines.
One of the conspicuous features of the.week has been the
renewal of activity and strength in the stock market, after
a lull in the trading for some weeks. And another significant fact was that the price of United States Steel common
stock on the 17th inst. rose to the unprecedented quotation
of 139%. That attracted wide attention. A reaction in the
stock market to-day was regarded among merchants
as no
more than natural. Money was higher at 4%. Bonds

cotton mills in some cases are working only in

weeks. The effect on the British iron industry is such
that
Great Britain is no longer shipping iron to this
country.
The fall of the Briand Ministry in France was not
wholly
unexpected, and it is regrettable to notice that M.
Herriot,
who will endeavor to form a Ministry, is committed
to the
repudiation of the debt pact with the United States.
The

in the
family of nations. As the case stands, French
francs have
during the week reached another new low
point, while
Spanish exchange has been at the highest quotation
seen
for six years past. As for general trade in this
country, the
inference is unavoidable that it waits on seasonable
weather.
With that to favor it, there is no reason to doubt
that a
satisfactory business may be expected. United
States foreign trade during May, although smaller in
volume than in
any previous full month of 1926, was the
first month's trade
of the year to result in a merchandise
balance in favor of
this country.

Wages of Chicago bricklayers will be increased to $1 62%

The Associated Builders granted the increase because wages
In the building industry have been increased since bricklayers made their agreement. The scale will be in effect
until May 31 1929. Automobile tire manufacturers are estimated to hold stocks of approximately 20,000,000 tires, valued at $400,000,000.
On June 15 the thermometer was up to 84 degrees here,
the highest thus far. On the 16th inst. came a sudden drop
of 30 degrees to 54 at 5 a. m., the coldest June 16 on record
except for 51 in 1884. It averaged 60, or 9 degrees below
the average for 46 years. The highest on the 16th was 65
degrees. It was so cold that there was a postponement of
the major league baseball games at both the Polo Grounds
and Ebbetts Field, something unheard of on June 16. It
was 50 to 72 at Chicago, 56 to 70 at Cleveland. 64 to 90 at
Kansas City, 54 to 64 at Minneapolis and St. Paul, 48 to 58
at Kansas City. It was 100 to 110 in Texas and 100 to 107
in Oklahoma, with temperatures of 00 to 99 in other parts
of the South. On the 17th the temperature here was down
to 53, the coldest for that date since 1914, when it was 52.
To-day was not quite so cold and at 4 p. m. It was 68 degrees.
Increase in Wholesale Prices in May.
A slight increase in the general level of wholesale prices
from April to May is shown by information gathered in representative markets by the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the
U. S. Department of Labor. The Bureau's weighted index
number, which includes 404 commodities 'or price series,
registered 151.7 for May compared with 151.1 for April, an
increase of nearly one-half of one per cent. Compared with
May 1925, with an index number of 155.2, there was a decrease of 2%Vo. The Bureau reports further as follows under
date of June 17:
Farm products averaged slightly lower than in April, due to decreases in
grains, sheep, cotton, potatoes and wool. Clothing materials, metals,
building materials and housefurnishing goods also were somewhat cheaper.
In other groups prices were higher than in the preceding month, ranging
from one-third of 1% in the case of foods and chemicals and drugs to 23i%
in the case of fuels.
Of the 404 commodities or price series for which comparable information
for April and May was collected, increases were shown in 84 instances and
decreases in 152 instances. In 168 instances no change in price wasreported.
The large increase reported for fuels was responsible for the net increase in
the general price level.

Prospective business activity, so far as it may depend upon building
operations, shows no pronounced trend. The total valuation of building
permits issued in May at eighteen representative cities was 3% larger than
last year, but 16% less than in the preceding month, as compared with the
customary decline of 5% at this season. As compared with the preceding
month, declines in the permits were shown in all of our groups of cities,
except the four located in the wheat belt and the four in the mining regions.

Steel Business Shows Good Volume-Pig Iron Sales

Bituminous Coal and Anthracite Production Declines
Heavier buying of iron and steel for third quarter needs
now is reported in all quarters, symbolizing the stronger
confidence among both producers and consumers which has
taken hold of the situation progressively during the past
three weeks, according to the opinion of the "Iron Trade
Review." This stimulation in some part has followed
further settling of prices, as in the case of pig iron, but
mainly it is the logical expression at this time of a continuing condition of large consumption. Current shipments and operations do not reflect this expanded volume
of buying since the material is contracted for largely in
aftticipation of requirements tq be out in the next 60 to 90
days. How these tonnages will be specified later will
determine the final outcome of the present movement among
producers to lift steel prices above their recent unsatisfactory level, observes the "Review," in its June 17 market
summary, which goes on to say:
In keeping with this latter effort, leading mills this week have announced
a $2 per ton advance in standard, structural shapes. Further modifications
In steel bar and plate prices also have been made.
The reduced loss In unfilled tonnage by Steel Corp. in May, which
promises to be further bettered in June. again points to the more stabilized
position of the steel market compared with the same period In 1925, the
high record year. Last month the leading producer, running around
90%. lost 218.726 tons. In May 1925. with its operations not far above
70%. shipments exceeded new orders by 396.768 tons. The five months'
cumulative loss of orders for the Steel Corp. since January this year when
the decline started, was 1.398.114 tons. In 1925. for three months of the
decline it was 1.234,971 tons. These figures show the extent by which
new business and specifications have been running more evenly this year,
causing milder relaxation of the market after the spring bulge.
Covering by miscellaneous users of pig iron for third quarter delivery
the past week reached the proportions of a genuine buying movement. The
week's sales exceed 200.000 tons, bringing the last two week's activity
to over 300.000 tons.
Collapse of British iron and steel production under restrictions imposed
by the unsettled mai strike is told in statistics for May Just made available. Pig iron output that month fell to 86.400 tons from 536.600 tons
In April. At the end of May only 22 stacks out of about 425 were operating.
Steel output in May dropped to 70.000 tons from 661,000 tons in April.
In the Sheffield district, only one-eighth of the iron and steel capacity now
Is active.
The "Iron Trade Review" composite price this week is $37 60. This
Compares with $37 68 last week and $37 84 the week previous.
Seasonal Dulness Evident in Bituminous Coal Markets
But Tardy Lake Movement Keeps Trade Up—
Anthracite Orders Drag.
There has been comparatively slight surface change in
the bituminous coal trade of the country during the last
week, observes the "Coal Age" this week. While the customary seasonal dulness is in evidence in most sections, the
market is holding its own in good style. An important factor, of course, is the steadying influence of the heavy movement of coal to the lakes, which, after a belated start, is
exceeding the weekly flow at this time last year. Last week
13,171 carloads passed through Cincinnati headed lakeward,
an increase of 964 over the total for the corresponding
week of 1925, declares the June 17 market review by this
Journal, which adds further interesting data as follows:
A further factor of favorable effect is the continuance of the British
strike. From a speculative standpoint, however, this development has been
distinct disappointment, for the demand has fallen far short of expecte-

Current Events and Discussions
The Week with the Federal Reserve Banks.
Largely as a result of the June 15 financial operations of
the United States Treasury, the consolidated statement of
condition of the Federal Reserve banks, and which deals with
the results for the twelve Federal Reserve banks combined,
on June 16 shows a decline of $54,800,000 in holdings of discounted bills and of $16,700,000 in acceptances purchased in
open market, and increases of $63,900,000 in holdings of

The Member Banks of the Federal Reserve SystemReports for Preceding Week-Brokers' Loans
in New York City.
It is not possible for the Federal Reserve Board to issue
the weekly returns of the member banks as promptly as the
returns of the Federal Reserve banks themselves. Both
cover the week ending with Wednesday's business, and the
returns of the Federal Reserve banks are always given out
after the close of business the next day (Thursday). The
statement of the member banks, however, including as it
does over 700 separate institutions, cannot be tabulated
until several days later. Prior to the statement for the
week ending May 19, it was the practice to have them ready
on Thursday of the following week and to give them out
concurrently with the report of the Reserve banks for the
new week. The Reserve authorities have now succeeded
in expediting the time of the appearance of the figures, and
they are made public the following week on Mondays instead
of on Thursdays. Under this arrangement the report for
the week ending June 9 was given out after the close of
business on Monday of the present week.
The Federal Reserve Board's weekly condition statement
of 703 reporting member banks in leading cities as of June 9
shows an increase of $7,000,000 in investments and declines
of $57,000,000 in loans and discounts, $95,000,000 in net
demand deposits, $19,000,000 in time deposits and 373,000,000 in borrowings from the Federal Reserve banks. Member
banks in New York City reported an increase of $16,000,000
in investments and reductions of $84,000,000 in loans and
discounts, $73,000,000 in net demand deposits, $10,000,000
in time deposits and $47,000,000 in borrowings from the
Federal Reserve bank. As already noted, the figures for
these member banks are always a week behind those for the
Reserve banks themselves.
Loans on stocks and bonds, including U. S. Government
obligations, declined $95,000,000, the principal changes
On a subsequent page-that is, on page 3129-we give the

Summary of Conditions in World's Markets According
to Cablegrams and Other Reports to the
Department of Commerce.
The Department of Commyrce at Washington releases for
publication to-day (June 19) the following summary of
conditions abroad, based on advices by cable and other means
O!' communication:
CANADA.
Business in the four Western Provinces is much better than at this
time last year, especially in such important lines as agricultural implements and machinery, automobiles, and hardware. The farmer has
become an active buyer and with excellent prospects for the 1926 wheat
crop the commercial trend is definitely upward. General conditions in
wholesale trade are considered normal. Retail trade shows a slight improvement. Automobile plants are active. Cotton mills in the vicinity
of Montreal are well employed. The steel plants in the Toronto district
are reported to have capacity orders for some time.
NETHERLANDS.
Strike conditions in Great Britain and particularly the continuance
of the coal strike have had a depressive effect upon business in the Netherlands. Dutch shipping has been disrupted and foodstuffs industries have
also suffered. Conditions in Germany have also been unfavorable to
Netherlands' trade, exports to that country having been curtailed by
about 36% in the first quarter of the year, as compared with the same
period of last year. Competition from Belgium and France because of
the depreciating currency in those countries continues to be a depressing
factor in Netherlands business.
FRANCE.
Uncertainties as to financial and political developments, together with
the renewed weakness of the franc, are checking the free flow of French
business. Commercial interests are either refusing to make forward quotations or are requiring conditions insuring them against franc depreciation.
Industrial activity is generally maintained based on old orders, despite the
difficulty of undertaking new business. Wholesale and retail prices continued to rise during May. Unemployment is still negligible. The textile
industries, though maintaining a good degree of activity, are hampered by
the uncertainty of replacement costs and are inclined to avoid bookings.
Production of coal, iron and steel is being maintained.

period. No efforts are being made to care for other than the most pressing
salary requirements. Interference with the salt administration by military
leaders in the Tientsin area continues. Funds from the salt revenues paid
to foreign banks for the Hukuang loan service total 950,000 taels (1 tael
equals $0.83). The railways have announced an increase in freight and
passenger rates of approximately 25%, this increase representing a surtax
on the regular basic rates.
JAPAN.
Japan's foreign trade continues to show a preponderance of imports, the
preliminary totals for the first ten days of June having been, exports
51.000,000 Yen and imports 69,200,000 Yen. The demand for funds for
financing the spring cocoon crop is causing a tightening of the Tokyo money
market. The stock market is weak with a declining tendency. The cotton
yarn market is steady.
PHILIPPINE ISLANDS.
All Chambers of Commerce of the Philippines are to hold a joint meeting
in an effort to secure a repeal of the 15•6% sales tax levied on all merchandise.
Filipino legislators have announced plans to introduce at the next session
a new bookkeeping law to replace that recently declared unconstitutional
by the United States Supreme Court, The Philippine copra market of
the week ended June 12 was very active. The abaca market, on the other
hand, continued stagnant until the latter part of the week, when some
local transactions were made in both United States and United Kingdom

AUSTRALIA.
The Australian coal strike, which had its inception in the walkout of
engine drivers in the coal fields of New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania
early in May and threw out of employment 30,000 men, has resulted in the
operation of a New South Wales legislative Act rationing the supply of
gas and restricting its use beginning June 10. The 5% £5,000,000 Victorian
loan recently floated in London was over-subscribed. Exchange rates on
telegraphic transfer on London-Australia are now (June 10) 5 shillings

A further decline in general business activity through Spain occurred
during the past month, making it by far the most inactive May in recent

large excess of tax receipts over estimates, and the task of handling the

Bill to Cut Powers of United States ComptrollerGeneral Withdrawn After Senate Debate.
Under date of June 9 the New York "Journal of Commerce" reported the following from its Washington bureau:
The presence of a considerable amount of oppcsItion in the Senate to-day
prevented consideration of the bill already passed by the House which
would relieve the Comptroller-General of any superviscry powers he may
have or seek to assert over financial matters in the custom service. The
bill was brought up by Chairman Smoot of the Senate Finance Committee, who se rplained its purpose.
It is complained that the Comptroller has asserted the right to pass
finally upon all such matters as the granting of drawback allowances and
that collectors of customs are loath to pay drawback in face of the possibility
of the Comptroller some months later holding that they exceeded their
authority in so doing. There is also said to be involved the question of
the proper assessment of duties upon imported merchandise.
Senator Couzens of Michigan was interested to know whether these
demands of the Comptroller were holding up the Government business.
Senator Smoot indicated that the customs service was not generally comby
plying with his demands and the need for immediate action. as sought
the Finance Committee Chairman, was questioned. Ile indicated that the
action of the Comptroller was in contravention of decisions of the Customs
courts and of the Supreme Court of the United States, and the suggestion
was made by some of the Senators, who engaged in the debate that judicial,
rather than Congressional cognizance should be taken of the matter. Upon
the insistence of the opposition Senator Smoot withdrew the bill for the
present.
Secretary Mellon in Reply to Senate Resolution Reports
That No French Loan Negotiations are Pending.
In response to a resolution of Senator McKellar calling
for a report to the Senate by the Debt Funding Commission
as to whether any loan to France is contemplated, "directly
or indirectly dependent upon the ratification of the debt
settlement with France," Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
reported to the Senate on June 17 that "so far as can be
ascertained" no agreement has been or is being made providing for a loan in behalf of the French Government. The
resolution, which was introduced on June 9, was passed by
the Senate on June 15. It reads as follows:
Resolved, First. Chat the United States Debt Funding Commission be,
Committee has that very matter under consideration."
He, stated that he had "no objection to the adoption of
the resolution, although the Finance Committee will go on
with the investigation irrespective of this resolution." The
New York "Journal of Commerce" in advices from its
Washington bureau June 17, said in part:
It was indicated at the Treasury that upon being advised by the Senate
of a desire for the information in question Secretary Mellon made a hurried
canvass of all the large financial organizations likely to be interested in
such loan negotiatioss. However, Senator McKellar and some of his
colleagues are not quite satisfied with the reply and beginning to-morrow
will seek additional information independent of the communication.
"I think the Commission is just sidestepping the issue for the present,"
said Senator McKellar. "Everyone knows that because there is some
concern in this country that is going to lend the French money just as soon
as the Senate ratifies the settlement.
"Now we want to see what arrangements are made as to the proposed
loan. When the Italian debt was up for settlement there was some dispute

Under Secretary of the Treasury G. B. Winston, who returned to his desk on June 14 after spending some weeks

France is the restoration of confidence in French institutions.

He wished to emphasize the point, he said, that in any
event the American Government would not be concerned in loans
or credits and that the
Federal Reserve banks were not Government banks.
Mr. Winston believed the questions concerning loans and credits
which
might be desired by France would be answered best when
the program being prepared by the commission of French experts
was made public. Reports here have been that private American banking interests

He expressed the opinion that Great Britain had won a notable victory
in the general strike and that the Mussolini Government in Italy was strong
and will succeed in its efforts to stabilize financial and economic conditions
there.
Mr. Winston emphasized the point that these were his opinions as a private citizen, that he had not been in Europe as an official or unofficial
representative of the United States.

Ile said that the moment had not yet arrived for a solution
of Italy's
currency problem on an international basis, because
of the unsettled conditions of the currency of other European nations.
The measures which the Government, after minute
study of the situation.
have decided upon include a constant control by the
Treasury of all operations on the Exchange, Count Volpi said.
The measures reduce to an
absolute minimum the circulation of lire in foreign
markets. They forbid
the purchase or sale of lire without proving need,
forbid banks to buy on
their own account and require the depositing of
securities in lire simultaneously with taking foreign currencies.
Count Volpi announced that the finance budget at the
end of May had
a surplus of 811,000,000 lire, compared with
688,000,000 at the end of April.
He predicted that the surplus would be over
a billion at the end of this
month.

refunding operation, it is stated, means a saving to the Federal Land banks of about UMW)a year in interest charges.
The banking group is headed by Alex. Brown & Sons of
Baltimore; Harris, Forbes & Co., Brown Brothers & Co.,
Lee, Higginson & Co., The National City Co. and the Guaranty Co. of New York. The books were closed at 11.15 a. m.
the day of the offering, the issue, it was announced, having
been over-subscribed.
The bonds are exempt from Federal, State, municipal and
local taxation, will be dated July 1 1926 and will become
due July 1 1956. They are not redeemable before July 1
1936, but are redeemable at par and interest at any time
after ten years from date of issue. They are in coupon and
registered form, interchangeable, in denominations of $10,000, $5,000, $1,000, $500, $100 and $40. Interest is payable
Jan. 1 and July 1, at any Federal Land bank or Federal
Reserve bank. The principal is payable at the bank of issue.
Figures made public in connection with the new offering
show that in eight years of active operation the twelve Federal Land banks had on April 30 1926 capital of $55,166,340:
reserve, $7,562,500; undivided profits, $4,955,829, and total
assets, *1,114,694,869. The offering circular says:
The holdings of the United States Government in the capital stock of the
Federal Land banks have been reduced from $9,000,000 at the time of the

log the same period the farm loan asseciations acquired approximately
$53,000,000 capital stock, part of the proceeds of which was used to retire
stock owned by the Government as required by the Farm Loan Act.
The United States Government has purchased and now holds over $100,000,000 Federal Land Bank bonds. This amount will shortly be reduced by

2% bonds to be taken down from the United
States Treasury with the proceeds of an equivalent par amount of 414%
bonds included in this offering. The saving to the Federal Land banks
resulting from this transaction will be about $100,000 per annum. While
these bonds are not Government elfigations, and are not guaranteed by
the Government, they are the secured obligations of banks operating under
Federal charter with Governmental supervision, on whose boards of direction the Government is represented.
The following is also from the circular:
Issuing flans,—The twelve Federal Land banks were organized by the
United States Government with an original $9,000,000 capital stock which
has since increased through the operation of the System to over $33,000.000.
Security —These bonds, in addition to being obligations of the Federal
Land banks, all twelve of which are primarily liable for interest and ultimately liable for the principal on each bond, are secured by collateral consisting of an equal amount of United States Government bonds, or mortgages on farm lands which must be:
(a) First mortgages, to an amount not exceeding 50% of the value of the
land and 20% of the value of the permanent, insured improvements as
appraised by United States appraisers;
(b) Limited to $25,000 on any one mortgage;
(e) Guaranteed by the local National Farm Loan Association, whose
stook, which carries a double liability, is owned by the borrower and
member;
(d) Reduced each year by payment of part of the mortgage debt.
Values.—The conservatism of appraisals made for the Federal Land
banks Is indicated by the fact that, for the year ended Nov. 30 1925 8,870
farms against which the hanks had made loans totaling $26,084,771 were
sold hy their owners at private sale for $58,832,240.
Acceptable by Treasury.—These bonds are acceptable by the United
States Treasury as security for Government deposits, including Postal Savings Funds.
Legal for Trust Futvls.—The Federal Farm Loan Act provides that the
bonds shall be lawful investments for all fiduciary and trust funds under
the jurisdiction of the United States Government. They are eligible under
the laws of many of the States for investment of all public and private
funds and have been held eligible for investment by savings banks in 37
States (listed below).
Federal Land Bank bonds have been held eligible for investment by
savings banks in: Alabama,, Prkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, District of Columbia, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana,

Farm Loan Board Reduces Rate on Loans to
Co-Operative Marketing Bodies to 432%.
A reduction in the interest rate on direct loans to co-
operative marketing associations by intermediate credit
banks from 5 to 43 % was announced by the Federal Farm
Loan Board on June 17, says Associated Press dispatches
from Washington. These accounts added:
A cut from 5 to 4,4% in the rediscount rate of the banks, effective
July 1. also was announced.
Easier money rates were ascribed as the reason. The intermediate
credit bank law demands that the interest rate accord with the general
market rate.

Subsidy to Foreign Consumers.
We shall have the ;unseal spectacle of the American consuming public
paying a bonus to the producers of five major agricultural commodities,
with a smiting decrease in the purchasing power of wages, and at the same
time contributing a subsidy to the foreign consumers, who, under the
proposed plan, will secure American commodities at prices below the
American level.
Eurepean labor could purchase American products at a lower price and
could live more cheaply than American labor. Foreign industrial costs
would be lowered and the foreign competitor assisted in underselling
American products abroad and in our home market.
I can see no permanent relief for American agriculture through subsidizing
foreign competition; and that,in my opinion, is what the bill, if it become;
a law, will do. The so-called "equalization fee" is in reality a tax on every
bushel of wheat or corn or head of live stuck or bale of cotton sold by the
farmer in this country;and the amount of the tax is to be fixed,levied and
collected by the propoeed Farm Board. The constitutionality of such a

tax, fixed not by the Congress, but by a board, imposed
and for such a purpose, is at least extremely doubtful, and might render
ineffectual any legislation embracing such a feature.

But In any event there would seem to be insuperable difficulties in colmay require every

or purchasing of such commodity, the amount of equalization fees payable
payment or collecthereon and such other facts as may be necessary for the
fee from the protion of the equalization fees; to collect the equalization
ducer and to account therefor: and to ietue to the producer a serial receipt
for the commodity." Every person who fails to account for such "equalization fee" shall be liable for such fee and to a penalty of one-half the amount
of such fee.

Determination of Prices by Board.
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon Says McNary-Haugen
Farm Bill Would Increase Domestic Prices and
Contribute Subsidy to Foreign Consumers.
Expressing it as his opinion that the principles contained
in the McNary-Haugen farm bill are unsound, and that the
plan proposed would prove neither workable nor beneficial to
agriculture, Secretary of the Treasury Mellon gives it as his
opinion that"the bill will defeat the very purpose which itseeks
to accomplish." In reviewing the features of the prof osed
legislation he says the purpose intended to be accomplished
"is to raise the prices of wheat, corn, cotton and live-stock
above world prices. A board known as the Federal Farm
Board, for which is appropriated 8250,000,000 plus $300,000.
for immediate expenses, is to arrange with co-operative
associations and other dealers to purchase, store or export
the surplus of these commodities beyond the demand for home
consumption."
"The taking of this surplus off the home market" he says
"is to raise the price in the home market. The surplus is to
be sold abroad even if the foreign price is below cost. The
loss on the storage, or on the sale of the surplus abroad, is to
be paid in the first instance out of the fund appropriated from
the Treasury. It is proposed to reimburse the fund by a fee
(equalization fee) or tax on all of these commodities slid by
the farmer." He notes that "the 'equalization fee' while it
purports to be paid by the farmer, will be included in the
increased price of the commodity, and will in the end be
borne not by the farmer but by the consumer," and he
observes that:
may receive a higher net price and yet the ultimate consumer
may not have to pay more. This purpose can be approached
through more orderly marketing and co-operation. The
second way is to increase the demand for our surplus and thus
raise the price, not to our consumers alone, but to the world."
Secretary Mellon's views on the bill are contained in a letter
under date of June 14, addressed to Representatives Haugen,
Dick nson and Anthony, who called on him the previous
week for an expression of opinion on the proposed legislation.
The secretary's letter follows:
Washington. June 14.
My Dear Congressmem—In accordance with your request made on the
occasion of your receca visit to the Treasury. I am submitting my views
on H it. 7893, as amended and now pending in the Senate, providing for
the establishment of a Federal Farm Board to control and dispose of the
surplus of certain "basic agricultural commodities."
The purpose intended to be accomelished by the bill Is to raise the
prices of wheat, corn, cotton and live stock above world prices. A board
known as the Federal Farm Board, for which is appropriated $250.000.000.
plus $300,000 for Immediate expenses, is to arrange with co operative
associations and other dealers to purchase, store or export the surplus of
these commodities beyond the demand for home consumption. The
taking of this surplus off the home market is to raise the price in the home
market.
"Eoualization Fee."
The surplus is to be sold abroad, even if the foreign price is below cost.
The loss on the storage or on the sale of the surplus abroad Is to be paid
in the first instance out of the fund appropriated from the Treasury. It
is proposed to reimburse the fund by a fee ("equalization fee") or tax
on an of these commodities sold by the farmer.
In other words, it is hoped to raise prices on part of the crop by taking
a loss on a smaller part of it; and the method by which this is to be done
is to divide the clop into two parts—the larger to be sold to American
consumers at high price:, and the smaller part to be sold abroad to foreign
consumers at cheaper prices, or even below the cost of production. The
loss incurred in giving this advantage to foreign consumers Ls to be covered
by money from the Treasury and from the higher prices paid by American
consumers.

treatment to the textile, boot and shoe, coal and other industries which
are finding some difficulty in disposing of their surplus products.
In general. a surplus is taken care of by a decrease in production or by
an increase in consumption. The natural result of the proposed bill will
be to increase production through higher prices for the particular commodities dealt with In the bill, and for the same reason to decrease demand.
That is. the bill proposes to correct an economic condition by ignoring two
of the most powerful economic laws, which In the long run must control.
It seems to me that we can advance further in aid to the farmer if we try
to work with and not against the teachings of experience.
Way Out of Farmer's Difficulties.
A way out of the difficulties lies in the elimination of waste between the
producer and the consumer, so that the farmer may receive a higher net
price and yet the ultimate consumer may not have to pay more. This purpose can be approached through more orderly marketing and co-operation.
The second way is to increase the demand for our surplus and thus raise
the price, not to our consumers alone, but to the world.

another item in this issue of our paper) Vice-President Charles
G. Dawes has apparently aligned himself with those who
favor some kind of legislation of the sort. On June 5 VicePresident Dawes was present at a conference of Senate farm
bloc leaders, who, according to the New York "HeraldTribune" Washington advices, decided to force a modified
Haugen farm bill to a vote without the aid of the Southern
Senators, who might have been held if cotton had been
retained in the bill. The account went on to say:

Outline of Bill Decided On.
The luncheon conference agreed on a farm bill that will:
Create a farm board and advisory council the same as the Haugen bill.
Provide for the collection of an equalization fee when a majority of the
producers of a particular commodity want it.
Create a revolving fund of $150,000,000 from which loans will be made to
Commodity equalization funds, but with the stiplation that there shall
be no loans until the producers of the particular commodity signify their
Willingness to pay an equalization fee.
There will be no subsidy in the bill for cotton or any other commodit
y;
the tariff yardstick and embargo will be eliminated. The referend

of the producers of a commodity must ask for it before the board declares

Is declared farm organizations and individual producers will
be given opportunity to protest before it becomes effective.
.1,
Developments which led to the designation of the bill as
the "Dawes-McNary-Haugen bill" were discussed on June 9
in a Washington account of the days proceedings published
in the Philadelphia "Ledger," from which we take the
following:
Evidence was shown to-day upon Capital Hill that some fear exists
of a
new bloc coming over the horizon—coming from where
the sky is thick
with the smoke of factories and mills, the industrial centers
of the Nation.
Senator Fess drew a picture of the consumers' bloc, the one bloc that
digs
down in its jeans and pays the bills of all the other blocks.
Vice-President Dawes also senses the danger of arousing
this sleeping
giant, for he has advised the associates in jamming through the
McNaryHaugen bill that its equalization feature had best be submitte
d for an opinion
as regards its feasibility to Secretary of the Treasury
Mellon, which has
been done. The Farm Bloc is thus adopting the policy
of making haste
slowly.
While all the other blocs have had their day and fun
in Congress, the
consumers' bloc never once raised its head. It is just beginning
to be realized that the present Farm Bloc, crystalizi around
ng
the McNary-Flaugen
"Perhaps a score of measures have been passed by Congress
since the war,
beginning with putting a farther on the
Federal Reserve Board, and none
has shown definite signs of providing the needed
assistance with the exception of the development of co-operative
marketing. I think more can be
done along that line."
Relief Called "Gold Brick."
"It seems to me that it is poor grace
on the part of the farm interests, who
have been given virtually everything they
have asked of Congress, to come
now and propose this weird legislation,
saying what they wanted and got
before was a 'gold brick.'"
The reference to the "gold brick" was for
the benefit of Senator Norbeck,
who some time ago thus characterized existing
farm-relief legislation.
In his effort to show that the bill was an "economi
c pipe dream," Senator
Fess paid his respects to Senators who have
been falling back on the judgment of Sir Josiah Stamp, British economist,
whose approval of the measure
In a correspondence with Vice-President
Dawes, put in the record by
Senator Watson of Indiana, has been made
the basis for the sensation that
Mr. Dawes had split with President Coolidge.
"I do not blame Sir Josiah Stamp," said Senator
Fess, "for wanting to
obtain food for the consuming population of Great
Britain at reduced costs,
no matter what it cost the United States to produce
it. That is statesmanship from the standpoint of leaders who are trying
to solve an unemployment problem and have felled for five years.
"I do not propose to vote for any measure that will feed,
at a lower cost,
the producer of competitive articles that come in competiti
on with American production. That would be transferring the unemploy
ment problem
of Great Britain to the United States, and I for one shall not
fall for any such
thing as that."
The correspondence between Vice-President Dawes and
Sir Josiah Stamp, referred to above, was brought before
the
Senate on May 25 by Senator Watson (Republican) of
Indiana, who in presenting it said that "it is safe to assume
that there is a real agricultural problem, one with which
the
Senate of the United States must deal if it faithfully discharges
its obligations to the people of the land." Continuing
he

Not long after this time Sir Josiah Stamp, whom Lloyd George recently
pronounced the leading economist of all Europe, came to this country to
attend the United States Chamber of Commerce gathering recently held in
this city. When here he became a center about which were gathered many
economists, and among the questions discussed was the one relating to
agriculture. Of course he could volunteer no suggestion. Being a foreigner
he answered these problems Just as he would solve one in mathematics, in
algebra, or in geometry, presented to him for his consideration, without
any regard to any application that might be made of the solution. The result
of all these conferences was that he made a statement with regard to this
proposition, and I want to call the attention of the Senate to it because if
we can substantiate the various steps of the argument by which he reaches
the conclusion, then we are absolutely warranted in the assertion that this
device Is not a fly-by-night, that it is not something ephemeral set up for
temporary purposes, but that it is economically sound and grounded upon
the eternal verities that underlie all Just legislation.

I express no opinion (a) as to whether your political conditions allow in

for export, or (b) as to the efficiency of the maintenance of price if any
of the assumptions given me are in fact incorrect. Of course, if this arrangement were made for wheat alone the position will be affected by transitions
from other farm products, and it is therefore assumed that some analogous
arrangements are Svallable for those products to prevent such transitions.
These arrangements would naturally not be identical in detail, but directed
to a similar object on like principles. The efficiency of each arrangement
will, economically depend on how far the assumptions are similar for the
product in question.

So I am passing no judgment upon any legislative interpretations of the

J. 0. STAMP.
In a copyright cablegram to the New York "Times"
from London, June 16, it was stated that Sir Josiah Stamp
had written a letter to The London Times to explain, he
states, "why a Briton, non-political even in his own country,
should be the villain of the piece in the Washington Senate."
Sir Josiah the cablegram announced, wrote:
When staying with Vice-President Dawes recently, I heard various discussions by agricultural economists and Senators on schemes for helping
"the farmer's dollar." I was asked by General Dawes to express an
economic judgment, which I did, and for obvious reasons confirmed in writing. I give it to you to make the situation clearer to your readers.
The subject is a burning political one and the average Senator is quite
incapable of seeing its possible study as a non-political problem. I find
Senator Watson has read this letter in the Senate and it has formed the
basis of recent debates. After observing my hypothetical reduction of
world prices by the penny-bushel, your readers may estimate the justice of
the charge made by Senator Fees that I have formulated "a statesmanlike
scheme to secure cheap food for Britain and help her to overcome her economic difficulties at the expense of the United States consumer."
The Senator introduced into the Record the following

in the "Wall Street News" of June,10, operations of the
Kavanagh firm were confined largely to mining and New
York Curb stocks. This part of the business is understood
to have been successful, but financial difficulties arose from
an industrial security underwriting which overtaxed the firm's
resources. Mr Kavanagh was a member of the Montreal
Mining Exchange and was for a time Chairman of that body.
Following the failure (June 15) the New York Curb Market
Association suspended the firm from associate membership
in that body.
New York Metal Exchange Adopts New Rules Governing
Deliveries, Shipments, &c.
At a special meeting of the Board of Managers of the
New York Metal Exchange on June 10, the following recommendations of the Tin Committee were approved:
First. Effective July 1 the "call" for tin deliveries shall be for five-ton
lots and the "call" for tin shipments shall be for 25-ton lots.
Second. Effective July 15, Paragraph D-2 of Rule No. 5, of Rules Governing Shipments in the tin contract be changed to read as follows:
"When shipments from Far Eastern port or ports is called for, time of
delivery to be not sooner than two calendar months after the earliest date
of shipment and not later than two calendar months after the latest date
provided for in the contract."
Third. That hereafter, commencing with Saturday, June 19, and running up to and inclusive of the Saturday before the first Monday in September, deliveries which, under the rules, fall due on Saturday shall be
deferred until the Monday following. Any charges accruing through this
deferred delivery shall be a buyer's expense unless buyer requests seller to
tender delivery on Saturday. In that event seller shall either make the
delivery on Saturday or assume any expense incurred by the delay.
Sentencing of William R. Jones, Former Head of Failed
Brokerage Firm of Jones & Baker, Deferred—
Court Holds that Recent Reversing of Conviction of Burrill Ruskay by Court of
Appeals Has Wiped Out Trading
Statute.
In the Court of General Sessions on June 10, Judge Rosalsky postponed the sentencing of William R. Jones, former head of the defunct brokerage house of Jones & Baker
of this city, who was convicted on Dec. 14 last of trading
against the order of a customer, pending the outcome of an
appeal to the Court of Appeals taken by Louis Montgomery
Kardos Jr., of the failed brokerage firm of Kardos & Burke,
who is under conviction on a similar charge. The Court set
June 25 as a tentative date for the next arraignment for
sentence of the defendant, explaining that this date was
provisional, on a decision in the Kardos ease having been
rendered by that time. Judge Rosalsky declared that the
recent decision in the Court of Appeals in reversing the conviction of Burrill Ruskay, broker, of the bankrupt firm of
S. S. Ruskay & Co., on a charge of trading against the order
of a customer, had wiped out the statute on which the indictment was based. Ruskay was convicted on March 7 192-1
and subsequently appealed to the Appellate Division, which
confirmed his conviction. He then appealed to the Court of
Appeals with the result as before stated. In his comment
from the bench Judge Itosalsky said:
General Trade Rules—Rule 2--Calls.
Sec. C. This section reads: "The first bid to buy or offer to sell at a
price

at a

The Board of Managers' interpretation of this rule is that the phrase
"subsequent offers to sell at a lower or bids to buy at a higher price shall
offers."
vacate prior bids or offers" means "shall vacate prior bids and
cancels all
In other words, when a lower offer is made it automatically
previous offers, also any outstanding bids, which latter must be reinstated
to become effective."
Under the Ruskay decision, this verdict against Jones must be set aside.
At the time I tried Jones, I stated that I had grave doubt of his guilt,
despite the fact that the Appellate Division of the Supreme Court had at
, conviction.
that time affirmed the Rusks)
I held that :n my judgment, when a sale or a purchase of stock was actually made and paid for, the transaction was complete. In the Jones case,
both purchase and sale had been completed and paid for. Both the Ruskay
case and the Kardos case were stronger, in my opinion, than the Jones case.
The decision of the Court of Appeals wiped out the trading statute.
I would have directed an acquittal of the defendant, Jones, had it not
been that the Appellate Division had already affirmed the Ruskay conviction. I felt at the time, however, in view of the question of law involved,
I would not impose sentence until the Court of Appeals had passed on the
Ruskay case, because of the doubt in my mind whether the conviction was
legal.
A stock broker should be guilty of a felony if he fails to have in his
possession or under his control at all times shares of the same kind of
stock purchased and carried for his customers, so as to meet the simultaneous demands for delivery to all of his customers the stock held for their
account. This is the rule of the Stock Exchange. If this rule is enacted
into law, the crooked brokers will find it difficult to prey on the gullible
public.

THE CHRONICLE
[VOL. 12.1)
states that the bill is to be entitled "An Act to further amend the national
banking laws ard the Federal Reserve Act, and for other purposes."
The committee of conference have not agreed upon the following amendment of the Senate:
Amendment No. 26: The House bill provided that a State bank upon
converting into a national bank may retain only such branches as the State
bank night have had in operation within the corporate limits of the city
in which the bank WAS situated, with a proviso that no such branches may
be retained which may have been established after the approval of this
Act in a State nide') at the time of the approval of this Act did not permit
branches to the State banks.
The Senate struck out the Hausa provisions and substituted new language which embraced all of the conditions under which a national bank
might have branches. The Senate provision permits the retention of all
existing lawful branches: the retention of any branch in operation for more
than 25 years: the retention of all now existing branches in case a State
bank is converted into or consolidated with a national bank; the establishment of new branches by national banks in certain cities in States which
permit branch barking at the discretion of the Comptroller of the Currency: and the establishment of branches in incorporated contiguous
territery to such cities at the discretion of the Comptroller of the Currency.
The Senate provision further provides that no branch could be established
or moved v ithout the approval of the Comptroller of the Currency: defines
the terms "branch," "State bank,""State banks," "bank," and "banks":
and exempts foreign branches from the provisions of the section.

hundred and fifty years ago united in one great nation, having a common
cause, a mutual feeling for independence and an unconquerable desire to be
permitted to enjoy life, health and happiness as a free people.
The forbears of these distinguished visitors were the men who staked
their all that democracy might not only be achieved in this new land, but
be perpetuated and hunded down as a heritage to their posterity. Philadelphia greets them with open arms, with cheerful words and with hearty
handclasps, on tho day set aside to pay homage to the Stars and Stripes.
No More Fitting Day.
What day of the year could be more fitting to officially dedicate an exposition such as this than on Flag Day, and what body of men could be more
representative and better typify the American spirit of independence than
the great representatives of the original thirteen States?
One hundred and forty-nine years ago to-day the Congress assembled in
the old State House, now affectionately called "Independence Hall,"
adopted by resolution the Stars and Stripes. It was provided that the flag
should consist of a blue field with thirteen stars and stripes, alternate red
and white, representing the Thirteen Original States.
It is an historical fact that subsequently Congress provided that as
additional States were added to the Union, each should be designated by
a star, so that to-day the Stars and Stripes consist
of forty-eight stars on
a field of blue, with alternating red and white
stripes. To you and to me.
I am sure, it is the noblest and most inspiring
emblem in the world.
This flag, before which we bow in humble veneration, but with a spirit
proud and determined. has,been carried through—we praise God—many

compliments followed between the Governor and Mayor Kendrick.

SILVER.
The market has been very quiet and supplies have been rather sluggish
in forthcoming. Hence prices have not shown much tendency to move.
Indeed, the cash price remained at 30 1-16d. for the five days preceding
to-day, when a slight advance of I-16d. was recorded. We have to go back
about 28 months before such a stagnation involving five days unchanged
spot quotations took place. Both spot and forward prices have been
identical during the week, except on Saturday, when forward silver commanded I-16d. premium. The steadiness was occasioned by bear covering,
mostly from India. There have been moderate sales from China. America
and the Continent have not been active. United Kingdom imports and

compared with a year ago. Preliminary figures compiled

United States from which it is possible to obtain weekly

week last year. The total stands at $10,346,438,935,

quiet, yet withal firm, at a fraction above par throughout
the week. Continental exchange showed marked irregularity, with trading usually of a speculative character and

For a number of years we have been carrying on an intensive campaign
to reduce our claims account of lost and damaged freight. Our total payments on account of loss and damage in 1925 were 862.037, as compared
with $98,225 in 1924 and with $364.913 in 1920. The amount paid per
thousand ton miles in 1925 was 3.051 as compared with 3.0814 in 1924 and
3.2741 in 1920. The very heavy payments in 1920 reflect the very high
prices prevailing during that and preceding years and also the very bad
condition of equipment following Ste period of Federal control.
In April 1925 the railroads of the Western District, which includes all
of the railways operating west of Chicago, Peoria and St. Louis, flied a
Petition with the Inter-State Commerce Commission asking that they be
permitted to increase their freight rates so that they might be able to earn
58(
1 % on the value of their property. Hearings were held at various points
at various times, commencing in the fall of 1925 and continuing until
Jan. 1926. The printed briefs and arguments of all parties interested have
now been filed and the case is set down for oral argument before the Commission on May 19 1926. Your receiver is very hopeful that the CommisEdon will grant some relief.
It is very difficult to make any forecast of future business in this territory. but in general it may be said that the condition of the farmers, upon
' the prosperity of the Northwest so largely depends, Is very much
which
better than it was a year ago, and the movement of farm machinery into
the territory served by your railroad was much greater in 1925 than in 1924,
Indicating the improved financial condition of the farming community.

THE CHRONICLE
JuNn 191926.]

Automatic Train Control.-On June 13 1922 the I.-S. C. Commission
issued its Order No.1 to a certain group ofrailroads requiring the installation
of automatic train control over one complete passenger operating division
on each railroad; later on, I.-S. C. Commission Order No. 2 was issued
to an additional group of railroads. The Pere Marquette By. was included in both orders. As the result of application submitted to the
Commission, the orders with respect to the Pere Marquette were subsequently amended to provide for installations from Seymour (Grand Rapids)
to North Lansing, 61.99 miles, and from Lansing to Pennsylvania Junction
(Detroit). 78.49 miles, or a total of 139.39 miles. The roadside equipment
was installed as well as the equipment for 65 locomotives with the apparatus
involved necessary for the operation of this division. The device manufactured by the General Railway SiTnal Co., known as the "Automatic
Train Stop. Intermittent Inductive Type" was installed. The work was
commenced during the year 1925 and completed on Jan. 31 1926. The
expenditures made during the calendar year 1925 on account of this work
amounted to $125,942. The total exnense of the completed wo-k, a
portion of which was done in 1926. was $151,911. The apparatus installed
is giving satisfactory service and with certain minor modifications as to
detail, it is expected, will meet the requirements of the Commission.
Number of Employees.-During the year ended Dec. 31 1925, the average
number of employees was 10,844, as compared with 11,085 in 1924.
Group Life Insurance.-Conapany's contract with the Equitable Life
Assurance Society of the U. S. was continued in effect and further extended
during 1925. This contract, dated July 1 1923. covers group insurance
protection for the employees. At Dec. 31 1925 there were 5,900 lives
insured under the contract, with a total amount of insurance in effect
on that date of $10,570,010. From the date of this contract. July 1 1923,

Omnibus Corporation.
(Annual Report-Year Ended Dec. 31 1925.)
President John A. Ritchie says in brief:
The Omnibus Corporation is a holding company. It owns all the capital
stock of the Chicago 1Vicitor Coach Co. and the Gray Line Motor Tours Co.
of Chicago. Corporation also owned as of Dec. 31 1925, 549,535 shares of
Fifth Avenue Bus Securities Corp., which latter company owned, as of that
date, 190,293 shares of New York Transportation Co. The New York
Transportation Co. owns all of the capital stock of the Fifth Avenue Coach
Co., operating coaches in New York City. This ownership gives Omnibus
Corporation approximately a 75% interest in the outstanding stock of the
New York Transportation Co., whose net profit for the year ended Dec. 31
1925 was $1.409,102.
The Omnibus Corporation's interest in the Fifth Avenue Bus Securities
Corp. is carried in the balance sheet as an investment and there are, therefore, credited to the Income account merely the dividends received. In
looking. at the surplus profit of $85,563 for the year, after preferred dividends. it should be borne in mind that there have accrued to common stock
additional profits for the year of $711,218, representing this corporation's
share of the undistributed profits earned this year by the Fifth Avenue Bus
Securities Corp. through its owilership of 80.975% of the New York Transportation Co.
A comparative income account was published in V. 122, p.
1763.

Sowell, wealthy local oil men, have filed suit for $1,000,000 judgment

He returned, according to Coates and. Sowell, with the proposal that all
three sell out for $100,000 each, which the plaintiffs agreed to do. Subsequently, Coates and Sowell allege, they discovered that Barton had not sold
his share, but was remaining in the local field with a one-third in terest as

Company.-Has been formed by the merger and consolidation of a group
of public service enterprises in Northern Connecticut. It owns and operates
properties which supply electric light and power, water and gas to a stable
and prosperous territory on both sides of the Connecticut River between
Hartford, Conn., and the Massachusetts state line. The population of the
territory served is estimated to be about 40,000. Of the present net earnings
of the combined properties, approximately 68% is derived tom electric
light and power business, including water power, 18% from water works,
and 14% from gas business. In addition to its developed properties, the
company owns the water rights,franchises and necessary adjacent lands for
hydro-electric development of the Connecticut River in the vicinity of
Windsor Locks. These water rights,in the opinion ofindependent engineers,
make possible the future installation of 34,000 h.p. of additional hydroelectric capacity.

Company.-Organized in 1906. Supplies electric light and power in
Portland and nearly 70 other communities in western Oregon; does the gas
business in Salem and operates city and interurban railway lines in Portland
and adjacent territory. Population served is approxmately 400.000. The
combined electric generating capacity of the system aggregates 160.000 h.P.,
of which 110,000 h.p. is in hydro-electric plants and 50,000 h.p. in reserve
steam stations. The new hydro-electric station recently constructed by
the company on the upper Clackamas River has a capacity at present of
35,000 h.p., but is designed for an ultimate capacity of 105,000 h.p. For a
period of over 17 years company has generated from water power over
85% of its total electric output. Steam power, when required, is produced
largely from supplies of wood waste available from the large saw mills in
this territory. Transmission system embraces over 550 miles of high-tension
lines interconnecting its hydro and steam electric generating stations with
over 20 substations, and as such forms an integral part of an extensive
super-power system which extends from Portland, Ore., to San Diego, Calif.
Company supplies more than 75% of the electric energy consumed in Portland and operates exclusively in the other communities served in Oregon.
The railway property includes about 303 miles measured as single track,
of which 190 miles comprise the city railway system in Portland and 113
miles are interurban lines.

The 3 underlying divisional mortgages are closed, and no further 1st &

of that mortgage they must be pledged under the 1st lien & ref. mtge.
Furthermore, the aggregate amount of 1st & Ref. mtge. bonds and underlying bonds outstanding in the hands of the public will be substantially
reduced from year to year through the operation of their respective sinking funds.
Purpose.-The proceeds will reimburse the company in part for the cost
of acquiring certain properties in the Tualatin Valley and other territory
contiguous to that now served by the company;for the cost ofimprovements,
extensions and additions to the properties necessitated by the rapid growth
of its business, including the interconnection with the present system of
the new properties acquired; for the retirement of debt, and for other corporate purposes.

the problem.
The financial position of the company has considerably further improved
so that, as of June 1 1926, the origi raal issue of $15,000,000 first lien sinking
fund gold bonds has been reduced through the operation of the sinking fund
to $13,868,000; the company has made payments into the slaking fund for
the retirement on July 1 1926 of additional bonds aggregating approximately
$675,000; the compahy has also acquired and hold.in its treasury $400.000
of its bonds; and it has in cash, including call loans, approximately .$7,324,
000.
The directors have come to the conclusion that,in the interest of both the
preferred and common stockholders, it is desirable that it should have the
benefit of the views of representatives of each class of stock in order that a
program acceptable to both may be evolved. The board has, therefore,
after consultation with its bankers Kuhn, Loeb &Co., and the Bankers
Trust Co., suggested to representatives of some of the large holders of the
preferred stock and of the common stock that they form committees to
consider the subject and in conjunction with the directors to endeavor to
agree upon some program, fair to both classes of stock, to be submitted to
the stockholders.
The following have consented to act as members of the preferred stockholders' committee: Gayer G. Dominick, of Dominick & Dominick. Chairman; D. W. Dilworth, of E. F. Hutton & Co.; Charles S. Haight. director

Data from Letter of Walter P. Paepcke, President of the Chicago
Mill & Lumber Co., who is to be President of the Container Corp.
Business and Properties.-The Chicago Mill k Lumber Co. is about to
cause the Container Corp. of America to be incorporated in Delaware, and
will acquire a controlling interest in its issued share capital. The Container
Corp. will acquire the real estate, plants and certain other properties of the
Philadelphia Paper Mfg. Co.,and the paperboard and container fabricating
plants of the Chicago Mill & Lumber Co. The business of the Philadelphia
Paper Mfg Co. originated in 1896, and the paperboard business of the
Chicago Mill & Lumber Co. commenced in 1912, although the lumber and
wood box business of the latter company dates back to 1881. Both of these
companies are engaged in the manufacture of paperboard and paperboard
shipping containers.
The paperboard mills which will comprise the properties of the corporation, have the following daily capacities: Chicago. 100 tons per day capacity;
Cincinnati, 200 tons per day capacity; Philadelphia, 550 tons per day
capacity' total,850 tons. In addition to the paperboard mills, the corporation will have facilities for fabricating more than 507 of its paperboard
Production into corrugated or solid fibre containers, the remainder of the
output being sold as paperboard. It is the expectation of the corporation,
however, to increase its fabricating capacity, which involves a relatively
small investment. and thereby,increase the percentage of its paperboard
production converted into fabricated containers.
Purpose.-The proceeds of this issue, together with junior securities, will
be used for the acquisition,free ofindebtedness,of the properties comprising
this consolidation and for working capital.
Security.-Secured by a direct first mortgage upon all the lands, buildings.
machinery and equipment of the corporation, which properties have recently
been appraised by Day& Zimmermann,Inc.,of Philadelphia,at$14.332,073.

located in the northwest industrial district of Chicago, aggregates 723,000
sq. ft. The remainder of the investment embraces the buildings and equipment of the Chicago, Cincinnati and Philadelphia plants.
The first mortgage will authorize a total of$10,000,000 of bonds, including
this issue. The remaining $5,000.000 of bonds may be issued from time to
time in the future, in principal amount equal to but not exceeding 60%
of the actual cost or fair value (whichever shall be the lower) of any fixed
property acquired by the Container Corp. or by a constituent company.

x Of the outstanding common stock. $100,000 was paid in cash and the
balance came from stock dividends from time to time out of earnings.
Note.-While any preferred stock is outstanding and not called for retirement, dividends shall at no time be paid on common stock exceeding the
rate of 7% per annum quarter-yearly.
It is the intention of the directors to declare dividends on the present
common stock in the new class A stock in lieu of cash. [Cash dividends at
the rate of $2 50 per share per annum were paid from March 2 1925 to
June 1 1926, incl.] The board proposes to declare one year's dividends
in advance on the present common stock in the proportion of one share of
class A stock for every 10 shares of common owned, such dividends to be
payable quarterly on regular dividend dates. It is likewise intended to •
declare, in an advance, the first year's dividend of $2 per share, in cash.
on the new class A stock. The new dividend policy has been adopted to
release more working capital for the expansion of the business.
, David May, Chairman of the board, in a letter to the
stockholders, says in substance:
The company, having entirely discontinued its mail-order business, is
now operating a chain of 17 retail stores in various cities. Notwithstanding
