New York. July 1S-Opening- Pressure against some of the more active specialties, notably the automo- bile group, was renewed at the open ing of today's operations, with gains in other quarters. General Motors broke 29 to 465 and Willys-Overland was again heavy. with slight reces- sion in Maxwell, Crucible Steel and Utah Copper. American Can rose 6 point as did Marine Pfd. and Indus trial Alcohol, Cuban Sugar and three for American Tobacco. Rails were firm with a quiet inquiry for Lake Erie and Wisconsin Central. Mexi- cans were irregular but hardened later.
 Noon-Price changes became more variable later, with alternate advances and declines in specialties. Standard stocks, particularly Union Pacific, Reading, St. Paul, United States Steel and Marine pfd. were sufficiently firm to impart a measurr of stability ex- cept in isolated instances. Wil1ys- Overland continued to drop, declining to 58A, it's lowest quotation in con- siderably over a year, but other shares of the same class were comparatively steady. Tobacccs were strong.

''The Landschaften, like all mutual

no stock, and pay no dividends. The
members are responsible in all their

all borrowings, unless liability is
limited, as generally obtains in the

only the property pledged is liable;
in others sum proportionate to the

practise is to create a reserve fund.
"All the profits are carried into the

carried into this fund.
Originally bond was given by
the Landschaft the same size as the

the borrower did not. The holder
had to foreclose before the liability
of the Landschaft became operative.

bonds were not made liquid, on
account of their varying size, and
had limited circulation and sold

borrower, in making application
states the object for which the loan

he can not be denied one-half the
value of his land), bonds are issued
in like amount. If cash is paid the
borrower, and bonds are selling at q
discount, only proceeds are given; il
at premium, only par is paid, the
premium going into the reserve.
In some banks, if cash is paid the
