FOURTH LOAN RATE
TO BE ia PER CENT

The Treasury indicated in a state
n,ent last night that the interest
rate on the fourth liberty loan would
not be raised. above Az per cent, the
rate of the third loan.
THE inference drawn in certain
morning papers that the bonds Of the
next liberty loan will bear interest
at = u per cent is wholly without
fouedation." said the statement.
with the exception Of one or two
issues. all OF the Treasury certifi-
Gates issued I'm anticipation of the
AZ per cent. The issue of certificates
in anticipation. of the fourth loan
bearing interest at AZ per cent fore
shadows no change OF interest in the
rate borne by bonds Of the fourth
loan"
Omcials explained that the report
was published in only one or two
eastern newspapers.

Grain, Produce,
Cotton Markets.
GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. June 1s.-Increased SELL
ing pressure. In -the corn market to-
day had a noticeable effect as check
on bullish enthusiasm. The basis, of
the selling appeared to be prevailing
opinion that the present growth Of
the crop was far ahead of the normal
and that serious detriment just now
from heat was unlikely. Besides the
government advices indicated that the
force of the hot wave had been broken
throughout large part of the belt.
Opening prices. which varied from un-
changed figures to y higher. with
July at 1.45A to 1.4SA, and August.
1.4s, were followed by slight gains
and then a setback to well below yes
terday's closing level.
Oats swayed with corn. Absence of
export bids counted as bearish fac
tor. After opening unchanged to- 4
higher. with July TN to TN, the
market hardened a little more and
then underwent decided sag.
Provisions reflected the weakness of
grain. Trade was light.

Income TAX MONEY IS
TO REMAIN IN BANKS
BY IA. FLEMING.

The enormous payments of income

the checks have been sent to fedora
reserve banks and returned, wnen'
ever the banks upon which they were
drawn had qualified as depository

This Is one reason why the pay
ment Of $4,000, 100000 to $4,000. 900,

stringency in the money markets OF

drawals of liberty loan money, and
serves to keep the money market on
an even keel ~,

until after the 1st of July. when the
very large payments on account OF
interest and dividends will pass from
credit of bondholders and stockhold,
ers. and perhaps little longer-until
these distributions have again found
their way back into banks.
With the enormous needs OF the ma
tion these war days, the handling OF
the finances has been 50 conducted as
to produce the least disturbance.

stroyed wantonly by intoxicated

fights have broken out between the
various groups Of the central pow
ers. In Udine these fights resulted
in the capture Of fourteen Ger
mans and four Bosnians. There
were also bloody conflicts at Polo
Cattaro between the Germans and
Austrians.
