GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO. Juno 21.-Greater opti-
mism that Germany would sign the
peace treaty led to fresh advances to-
day in the corn market. The close
was nervous, Y to 2% net higher.
Der 1.76H to 1.76x. Oats finished Y
TO 1a1 u up. and provisions at gains
+ Of % to 55c.
Although realizing sales on the part
Of holders checked any tendency to-
ward a radical bulge in values. the
corn market showed evident strength
throughout the day. Attention focused
chiefly on developments regarding the
treaty, but there was additional in
tentive on account Of a sharp upturn
in quotations on hogs. besides coun-
try offerings as q rule wore held
slightly above the market. Week end
adjustment Of trades contributed like
wide an element Of strength. Accord
fn1Iy, the most active purchasing and
highest prices Of the day prevailed as
the session came to an end.
Oats displayed Independent frmness
owing to the fact that the crop was
at a critical stage, and that shorts
wished to avoid open commitments
over sunday. Provisions were lifted
iby peace news and by the rise of hogs
and grain. Scarcity of offerings on
the way up counted too as a bullish
factor. The best demand was for
lard.

walk the short distance and ride the

Local Traction Shares Easier.

Because Of the publicity that has at
tended the plants of the Washington
Railway and Electric Company there
has been some little selling OF both
Capital Traction and Railway preferred
during the past week. That there has
not been more would seem to indicate
some measure of belief in the ultimate
solution of the knotty problem, although
II must be admitted that the atmosphere
is murky right now.
The Capital Traction Company IL only
sympathetically influenced, as its hauls
are all profitable and the dividends are
sure. II would be unjust to attempt to
force the traction company to under
take any OF the Improbable hauls of
the Railway and Electric Compan, nor
Is II at all likely that any such action
will be taken or would lie II 1t was.
The hope Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company is more in the
recall Of the reduced rate on the Po-
tomao electric current than on I'm
creased fare Of 1 cent. but they need
both and in addition some very careful
handling and conservative management.
Further bond issues should not be
attempted under any circumstances az

Pig Iron Outlook Favorable.

The pig iron situation Is likewise con-
sidered favorable at the present time,
although interests here assert that dur
ing the current week the demand was
not quite so favorable in spite Of the
fact that inquiries were numerous. The
now rates on steel and iron products
moving from this country to the United
Kingdom were regarded here as paving
the way for a more extended export
field. In the export situation the fea-
ture Of the present time Is the demand
noted from Japan and South America,
the former buying literally in the mar
ket here.

will be ready to begin
operations. h.
Farm loans are to be
made at cost. Loans are
to run 80 years at 6 per
cent interest. Each pay
ment will include this 6
per cent and in addition
l per cent more, this
latter based on the orig
inal principal. In the
normal course of events,
this would extinguish the
debt in "a years, but for
legal and other reasons
the last five payments
will be paid in a lump
sum, ending the loan in
80 years.
This is what is called
amortization. Just how
the amortized loan works
out; is shown in the table
printed below. On a loan
Of 81, 900, the borrower
pays $40 a year interest
and principal. AS the
principal is decreased,
the annual interest t
charge becomes less and
the payment on the prin-
cipal is increased. The
following is a table show
ing the $40 payments of
interest and principal on
a 81, 900 loan:

installment on the loan The per cent annual
installment is sufficient to pay the interest at 6
per cent the unpaid principal, and to pay an
amount sufficient to retire the principal of the loan
in "a years. Any installments remaining unpaid
at the end Of the thrtieth year are to be included
with the thrtieth annual installment, so that the
loan will be retired in 80 years. -@1
A. Additional payments may be applied on the
unpaid principal any installment date. If de-
sired, the whole loan may be paid off on any in
stallment date. Do not confuse the 7 per cent in
stallment rate and the per cent interest rate.
The per cent nstallment rate includes both the
per cent interest rate and sufficient annual pay
ment to pay off the whole loan within 81 years.
That is, the additional 1 per cent on the original
The nonpartisan leader., 1919-08-11

amount OF the loan, plus
the saving in interest
arising from annual pay
ments on the principal,
will pay the entire prin-
cipal within the time
stated. To comply with
the requirements of law
the last four installments
will be added to the thir-
tieth annual payment so
as to place the amortiza-
tion period within the re-
quirement of 80 years.
5. Install I'm ent pay

whether the annual in

year that will best meet
their convenience as to
having available funds
with which to meet their
installment payment.
6. Installments will not
be permitted to run past
due, except as provided
by law in the event of
crop failure. Interest will
be charged on deferred
payments of interest at
the rate of 8 per cent.
