Mr.. Perdicaris. "Raisuli was at once
so gracious and dignified, not to us

who evidently idolized their chieftain,
whose position among them seemed
that of the head of Highland clan in
the olden times.

SAYS EGG SUBSTITUTES
NO GOOD FOR BAKING

The department of agriculture
through it's bureau of chemistry has
issued a warning that the so-called
egg substitutes which are being sold
to housewives under various trade
names will in no sense take the place
of eggs in baking or cooking.
These products consist essentially
of starch or prowdered cereal prod
uct, such as wheat flour, sometimes
artificially colored yellow to initiate
the appearance of eggs. Baking tests
showed that cakes made with these
so-called eggs substitutes are infer
ior to cakes made with water. Prose-
cutions are now pending in the feder-
al courts against manufacturers on
the charge of misbranding under the
terms of the pure food and drugs act.

Union Oil

Although in general we believe that
oil stocks are high enough and that the
prices of crude petroleum are more apt
to go down than up, there are specu-
ative attractions in the stock of the
Union Oil Company of California. The
company is producer, refner, dis
tributer and exporter, and handles
great amounts of fuel oil. Yet, the oil
produced is of higher grade than
that Of Mexico and has held right up
to the top price, whereas Mexican crude
petroleum has suffered bad slump.
The strength of the Union Oil Com
pany lies in the rapid increase in it's
production from less than 5000, 900
barrels in 1913 to nearly $500 900 in
1918, and in the consistent rounding
out and improving of the companv's
plants, pipe lines, refneries, fleet and
distributing stations. The net work.
ing capital is nearly $2O,OOO,OOO, or
only a little less than so per cent OF
the outstanding stock; the bonded debt
is not increasing, the property valua.
tions are conservative and the stock
apparently has an earning power of 8 to
III rer cent even in peace times

Tie Bond Market

Significant during the week was the
further increase in the general list of
bond prices. The most important bit
of news bearing on the investment
market was the announcement of the
oversubscription of the Victory Loan
and the announcement of allotment.
The oversubscription was less than
early estimates had placed it. But
even as it stood there were $70O, 100000
of subscriptions rejected. The impor-
tant thing to remember about these re-
jected subscriptions is that they we're
practically all real investment sub
scriptions. Subscriptions made for
patriotic motives purely or largely are
confined usually to the smaller totals
below $4,000. The persons subscrb-
ing more than that sum are in general
the heavy income tax payers. who have
great deal to gain by the 3% per
cent taxexempt issues. 1t is for this
reason that one can count on this
S70O,OOO0OO seeking investment in
other channels. Most of it will doubt
less go into the purchase of the 3a4s
and the interconvertibe issue, the
4&s, in the open market, and should
act as steady sustaining factor in
their price.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-02
Relation to Prices

Assuming present estimates as cor
rect-and it is only the percentage in
crease in loans which is not so diff
cult to estimate, and not the totals
themselves, which concerns us-there
can be drawn some interesting dcduc-
tons IN regard to internal conditions
IN the stock market In the first place.
1t should be clear that mere activity,
IN itself, does not increase the volume
of Stock Exchange loans. The volume
of such loans depends on the amount
or stocks used as collateral by brokers
IN their loan envelopes at the end of
the day. 10 Increase the speed with
which they are swapped about dur; .g
the day does not increase their total
at the end of the day. One way in
which Stock Exchange loans can be
increased is by an increase in the price
OF stocks. The percentage increase
IN loans would then be somewhat great
er than the percentage increase in the
prices of stocks, for the simple reason
that the total Of loans is usually less
than four-ffths OF the total stock val
ue. Since February s, The Tribunes
average of thirty industrial stocks has
risen from 70 to LOG, an increase in
price of 35 per cent The estimated
increase IN loans during the same De-
rod from S600,00o, 600 to 81 600, ,O0O. 900
Is an advance of about sc per cent, or
only slightly more than necessary to
correspond with higher prices

Explains Transmission of
Money to Central Europe

In an effort to eliminate misconcep-
tions which have arisen as to the ma
ture and operation of the exchange
system, recently inaugurated between
the United States and the liberated d
nations Of Central Europe through the
American Relief Administration, Ed
gar Rickard, joint director of the
American Relief Administration, yes
tcrday issued statement giving the
fundamental reasons why the admnis-
tration extended it's relief work to in
clude the transmission of money
Mr.. Rickard said that, in many
quarters, the impression had grown
up in this country that it was neces-
sary for foreign born Americans to
buy food here in order to transmit
money to their relatives and friends
in European countries. Mr.. Richard
emphasized the fact that this impress
sion was an erroneous one and that
the American Relief Administration
simply receives money orders through
American banks, which are payable in
the currency of the countries to which
they are sent upon arrival on the
other side.
Foreigners deposit their American
dollars in the banks here and the
banks turn it over to the American
Relief Administration. which sees that
the orders are paid in currency to the
persons to whom they are sent There
is no compulsory purchase of food re-
quired, either Of the payer or payee.
The American Relief Administration
ships food in bulk and does not re-
ceive packages of food for shipment.

The Markets
Stocks

On Thursday closed the sixteenth
week of uninterrupted stock market
advance. In that time prices Of in
dustrial stocks, as indicated by The
Trbune's average, have risen from 79
to above 1O6, gain of 81 points; rail
road shares have advanced from SO to
7S, gain Of 9 points. There is no
market in recent years that can COM
pare with the present one. Not since
1904 has an advance been so long sus-
tanned. In that year the rise con-
tlnued for seven months without re-
action, against the present four
months. Industrial shares in their
average price moved from AZ to 10.
AS that was gain of only 26 points
the present market has now surpassed
it. But the percentage of advance in in
dustrial share prices in that year was
SO, whereas prices in the present move
ment have advanced only 35 per cent
Prices at the end Of last week pre-
sented two features of Importance
One was that the spread of industrial
shares over railroad shares was 28
points, the greatest in the history of
the exchange. The other is that at
closing average figure of 1O6.4O indus
trial shares passed the level of 1O5.3O
of November 25, 1916, and reached
their highest figure in stock market
record. There have been forty-six
days this year, forty of
them consecutive

Call Money

The call money market was an in
teresting spectacle last week The
previous Saturday bank statement had
shown reduction in loans of S133 ,0OO,-
600, the greatest reduction for any
week of the year. This was the out
come of the maturity Of an issue Of
certificates of Indebtedness on the
Tuesday preceding. The effect at the
end of that week had been a decline
in the call money rate to " per cent
on Friday afternoon, the lowest rate,
with one exception, reached on any
day for more than year. The renew
al rate last Monday was Az per cent
but during the week rates became firm
er, leading to a ruling rate of per
cent on Thursday and closing figure

that after mobilizing quite effectively
the country's stock of gold.
1--WE have repeatedly given warning
that the danger of financial reaction
was not to be apprehended during the
war, or as result Of the credit ex-
pansion for the war operations, but
from speculative industrial expansion
after the war.
ANY further expansion of credit be-
yond the great volume created to drive
the country's industries at war press
ure is unnecessary and undesirable.
Would Raise Rates
"The logical course for reducing this
credit expansion and lowering the pres
ent price level is by raising interest
rates. This would set in motion forces
which would reverse the process by
which prices were raised. Men would
pay their debts and contract their
operations, and effective purchasing
power would be reduced The Federal
Reserve authorities evidently hesitate
to adopt this policy, and we are not pre-
pared to say that the time for doing
so has come. For one thing, the re-
serve banks have encouraged borrow
ing for the purpose of buying the Lib
erty and Victory bonds, and may we'll
feel that the public is entitled to have
time to work off these loans at the
present interest rate. Furthermore, it
would be undesirable to have a reduc-
tion of loans which meant forced cur
taiment of business. The country
certainly can make good the losses of
war more rapidly with it's industries
running than with them shut down;
it is fundamental that production must
be kept going. But after saying this it
may be we'll added that the credit situ-
alton should be kept in hand If there
is any slack in the credit situation it
ought to be taken up and conserved for
the real needs of the country and not
absorbed wastefully or in mere
speculation"

cutting down their heavy indebtedness
at the Federal Reserve banks. On their
borrowing from the Reserve banks they
are paying an average rate of only
about Az per cent. In order to per-
suade them to cut down this indebted
ness, some folk talk of restriction on
the total volume of Stock Exchange
loans by the money committee, which,
even when it abandoned supervision
late in January intimated that it would
resume if it found it necessary. Others
advocate mere increase in the Fed
eral Reserve Banks rediscount rate.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-02
Some differences

The significant fact is that this ex-
cess was not greater. 1t could be ac-
counted for in two ways. The first
IS narrower margins. Margins now are
known to be unusually sound. The
slight increase in loans would Indicate
that they could not have become yerv
th'n. The second is by the sale of in
Scstment holdings to the Street.-The
now Of stocks from strong boxes to
loan envelopes. This may have taken
place to some extent. But what the
small loan excess indicates is that the
extent was quite negligible. There
have been practically no new issues of
Stock Exchange securities or new list
'ngs on the exchange during this pc.
Rod sufficiently large to enter into
calculations.
New-York tribune., 1919-06-02
Market Opinion
Who's Selling:

1t is true that a larger proportion
than usual of the purchases are for
cash. 1t is true that margins as a
rule are substantial. Still in the mind
of any conservative person the ques-
ton must inevitably arise, where are
all the stocks coming from? The pub
lie is buying steadily and on larger
scale than has been seen in years

Brokers' Loans

The high rate for call money has
been largely made possible by the stock
market. The total Stock Exchange loans
are estimated to have risen from $780,
100000 in January when the money
committee suspended its restrictive
functions. to S10O0,O 100000 now. This
is not supposed to be a dangerous fig
ure in itself. Brokers' loans at times
have been estimated at S1,50O.OOO,OO
and that when there was not the great
currency expansion that there is now,
and when that sum meant about twice
as much as it now does
