Aetna Interests
Agree ON Plan
Offered by Mayer
Settlement Provides for Pay
ment of Back Dividends
ON Preferred Stock and
for Paying OFF of Bonds

The committees representing the
bondholders, the preferred and COM
mon stockholders, which were ap-
pointed in an effort to settle the
tangled affairs of the Aetna Explosives
Company, yesterday unanimously ap-
proved of the readjustment plan sug-
gested by Judge Julius NJ Mayer in
the Federal District Court.
The plan approved by the conflicting
interests involved in the receivership
litigation provides for the cash pay
ment of $1,955 900 for the outstanding
bonds at S5 per cent of par, that the
holders of the 532,265 shares of pre-
ferred stock, worth $3,991,950, are to
get back dividends Of SIS and an addi-
tional S. share in cash and rs per
cent of par.
The preferred stockholders, there
fore, get $1,955,OOO in cash and under
the plan their stock is convertible into
6 per cent first mortgage bonds of the
new company, which is controlled by
the 628,414 shares of common stock.
The mortgage securing the new s4,-
100000 bond issue is to have per
cent sinking fund clause.
The company has been in the hands
of Receivers Benjamin Odell and
Charles G. Holt for some time and is
said to have liquid assets of more
than $11,000,000. The draft of the re-
adjustment plan will be submitted to
Judge Mayer for final endorsement.

McAdOo Favors
Peace-Time Loans
To Allies of u. S.
Says Final Liberty Bond Is
sue Must Be More Than
Five Billion; Market to
Set the Rate of Interest

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-Five to five
and-ahalf billion dollars more Of bonds
will have to be issued to finance the
government this year, Secretary Nc
Adoo told the House Ways and Means
Committee to-day in discussing finan-
cial questions. He based this on an
estimate of $18,O00,O 100000 in expendi-
lures, and members of the committee
said the estimate was not too low.
1t has been stated previously that
the last Liberty bond issue, to be float
ed in the spring, would be for around
$4,000, 100000.
Mr.. McAdoo urged the committee to
approve legislation providing for loans,
after peace is declared, to the Allied
governments from bonds already au-
thorized. He said there was no room
for question about the repayment of
the Allied loans.
No formal consideration was given
by the committee to the peace time
loans proposal. Questions asked by
some members, however, indicated op-
position.
Mr.. McAdoo said he expected no
trouble in floating the next loan. He
said the interest rate would depend on
the financial market at the time the
loan is fioated, but reminded the COM
mittee that this loan would be directed
by Carter Glass, who becomes Secre-
tary of the Treasury on December 1e.
In discussing further loans to foreign
countries to be used for establishing
credits in the United States for the
purchase Of supplies, including food,
Mr.. McAdoo pointed out that the price
Of wheat must be maintained by the
government unless it is to lose money
on it's guarantee.
Brazil, he told the committee, may
want q loan to build up her commerce
with the United States. Speaking of
the Russian loans, amounting to $751;
100000, the Secretary said repayment
is to be expected whenever Russian
government is established.

I'VE Are ALI Clad
He Is Cone,'' - Says
Senator johnson
South Dakota Member APP
pears Mystified at Merri-
ment Occasioned by De-
fence of Wilson's Trip
By Theodore NJ. knappen

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12-This is the
way the Senate made haste with the
revenue bill to-day
-Four hours were devoted to talk on
the railway problem, the Russian prob
lem and the housing corporation prob
lem. At o'clock the decks were
cleared for action. The clerk had just
resumed reading the 16,00Oth paragraph
of the bill when Senator Curtis called
Tor quorum in view Of the gravity of
the subject matter of the bill.
The roll call having been completed,
Senator Johnson, of South Dakota,
arose and remarked that the measure
was one of extreme Importance. Where
upon as the recently acquired quorum
dissolved rapidly he made defence of
the Presidents trip to Europe, remark
ing frequently by way of emphasis: {:
Hes gone, and we are all glad he is
gone"
The Senator seemed to be little
mystified at the merriment occasioned
by this statement, and came back with
the assertion that South Dakota had
bought more Liberty bonds, raised
more soldiers, produced more wheat
and had done more various other things
in proportion to its population than
any other state. Pursuing this and
other veins, the Senator consumed
about half an hour, leaving just half
an hour for the consideration of the
bill, which was consumed by proceeding
with the reading.
During the day Senator Simmons. by
exercising great deftness, was able to
break into the proceedings long enough
to inform the Senate that to make up
for the lost lime he would move re-
cess at the end of the afternoons s
session instead of adjournment, thus
bringing the bill up at noon to-mor-
row, and that hereafter as soon as the
mornings business was disposed of he
would insist on continuous attention
to it.
Senator La Toilette continued to ask
to have pretty much every section of
the bill passed over. so that when the
reading finally was completed little of
the bill would have been accepted.
Democratic Senators protested not
to be surprised at the Republican
change of front with respect to the
revenue bill. They said that the pre-
viously accepted reports that the Re
pubilcans would oppose and filibuster
to the last ditch were too good to he
true.

Coffee Stocks Low
As Price Advances

With reserve stocks of green coffee
in this market at the lowest level In
years, trade interests declared yester-
day that unless steps were taken to
provide greater facilities for shipping
this commodity from Brazil, there was
danger of an actual famine in the
course of the next few months. The
head of one of the large coffee import
ing houses in this city estimated that
at the moment the supply of green cot
fee in storage here would last only
about forty-fivc days at the present
rate of consumption.
Although import restrictions on cof
fee have been removed recently, but
few ships have been released for the
carrying trade between this country
and Brazil, so chat incoming cargoes
are few and far between. Much of the
coffee that has been brought in Of late
has been shipped here by schooners
owing to the great shortage of steam
driven tonnage.
Meanwhile Brazilian coffee growing
interests are said to have the market
Supplies in Brazil are large, but the
Brazilians are reported to be holding
the coffee off the market to such an
extent that the price has risen sensa-
tionally. Green coffee is now selling
around 20 cents pound. whereas not
so many months ago it could be
bought for 9 cents. This has already
resulted in a general advance in many
grades of retail coffee.
The continuance Of government re-
strictions upon transactions in green
coffee has complicated the situation
and added to the trouble of the deal
erS The National Coffee Roasters,
Association and tn. green coffee mer-
chants of the United States take the
position that unless remedy can be
found the cost of roasted coffee to
the ultimate consl mert will be more
than doubled.

Cotton

A good part of Wednesdays late
losses were recovered during yester-
days trading in the cotton market.
January contracts, which had sold at
25.40 after the publication of the gov
ernm ats crop estimate, advanced to
2o.25, or so points from Wednesdays
closing figures. That delivery closed
al $500, with the general list closing
steady, st a net advance of IS to 35
points.
In the opinion of local b ,kers, the
action of the market indicated that thc
governments crop estimate Of the pre-
vious day had caused no real change
of sentiment regarding supplies. al
though 1T appeared to be a disappoint-
ment to early week buyers Some of
Wedne sday's sellers were credited with
replacing their contracts to-day, and
the market evidently took its tone from
further indications of heavier exports.
Ihere was a report from Galveston
that large steamer belonging to the
French government had arrived for a
cotton cargo of 10000 bales and that
Japanese vessels were expected at
Seattle which would take back con-
Slderable cotton on their return trip.
Exports Tor the day were 37362 bales.
and for the week so far are already
considerably in excess of the full week
last year. These features, combined
with reports that the outlook for in
creased export competition was stimu-
latlng demand from domestic spinners,
appeared to be giving buyers a little
more confidence. On the other hand, it
was apprehended that the report of the
Census Bureau on Saturday would
show a sharp falling off in domestic
mill consumption for November, which
probably increased the disposition to
take profits on the late reactions.
The market opened steady at de-
cline of points to an advance of 20
points, with near months relatively
easy, under a renewal of the scatter
ing liquidations which had followed
the government estimate of the pre-
Tious day. These offerings were quickly
absorbed and the market was firm later
on covering, rebuying and trade de-
mand.

The Aniline Dye Situation

In statement issued yesterday by
the National Aniline and Chemical
Company it is asserted that the mar
ket for aniline colors since the sign
ing of the armistice has shown little
variation in prices. Producers at the
time of cessation of hostiities were
we'll behind in deliveries, and stocks in
the hands of consumers were small ex-
cept for colors used in the production
OF khakis. Producers also have large
quantities of raw material, purchased
at the highest war figures, and it will
be some time before these stocks are
on the market. For these and other
reasons it is expected that it will be
some months before the lower prices
for acids and benzols will be reflected
in the cost of the finished color.
