MATERIAL ADVANCES IN
CORN MARKET PRICES

CHICAGO. December 2O-Material ad :
vances in the corn market this week
have accompanied the passage of the
Edge foreign finance bill. QuotaQkns
this morning compared with a week
ago were 2A to SIS up. Oats gained
1Aa13s to 5ss, and provisions 81 to 215
Anticipation of the passage Of the
Edge bill helped to give the corn market
decided strength even before the meas
ure had received the formal sanction of
Congress. especially as 1t was a gener-
ally accepted opinion that the President
would sign the bill as soon as possible
In this connection a big rally in sterling
did much to encourage builish senti-
ment, and so, too. did export sales of
wheat and oats to France. as Veil as
the fact that coal was still receiving
precedence on the railroads, and thus
curtailing the movement of grain
Subsequently,. however. renewed weak
ness i'll British exchange together with
reports that Canadian interests were
trying to cancel shipments of corn
bought in the United States had a some
what depressing effect.
Activity of exporters did much to
give strength to oats. Besides. shortage
of feed barley in the northwest was a
bullish factor.
Provisions were lifted by upturns in
the value of grain and hogs Pork
especially made steep ascent.

INCREASE IN RAILROAD
TAXES HAS BEEN RAPID
Pennsylvania Systems Final Fig
ures for 1918 Show Rise Of
$9,5OO,OOO in Three Years.

The rapid increase in the burden Of
taxation imposed on railroad COM
panies is shown by the final tax fig-
ures of 1918 for the Pennsylvania
railroad system. which have now been
compiled in full for all the properties
involved. The Pennsylvania system
last year paid in round figures $25,-
100000 in state and federal taxes
Three years previously the taxes
amounted to a little more than $16,-
100000.
The increase in three years was,
therefore, approximately $9.500,0O0, or
very nearly 60 per cent. The exact
payments each year compare as fol-
lows: 1915, $16.02S.321; 1916. $1s,OS1,-
10: 1917. $22.931,S51; 1918. s25,496.5S5
In the single year between 1917 and
1918 there was an increase of IL per
cent and in two years more than 33
per cent in the taxation burden i'm
posed on the properties comprising
the Pennsylvania system. 1t is note
worthy that the taxes paid in 1918
equal nearly 611 per cent of the total
freight revenues. 1t may also be
noted that the tax bill for 1918 was
more than five-sixths of the amount
necessary to pay a whole years divi-
dend Of 6 per cent on the capital stock
of the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
pany. the parent corporation of the
system, for every dollar of which
more than a dollar in cash has been
paid in by the stockholders.

Rumored Treasury Is Consid-

Credit Situation.
BONDS.

According to report. the United
States Treasury Department Is con-
sidering the advisability of lifting the
embargo on sales of foreign bonds In
lief Of the strained foreign credit sit
uation.
Permission of the Treasury Depart
ment il necessary at present for the
sale of foreign securities in this
country. In all instances in which
bankers have fioated European bonds
here since the war they have done so
only after the Treasury Department
gave it's approval. Several instances
have arisen where such permission
was refused.
Purpose Of Embargo.
In maintaining this embargo the
government was actuated chiefly by
a desire to prevent any interference
with domestic financial operations. 1t
also aimed to prevent the imposition
of onerohs terms on allied countries
borrowing here. Now, however, the
government gradually Is Withdrawing
from the money market. That being
the case, the principal objection to the
sale of a reasonable amount OF for
eign securities here is removed.
On the other hand. government ON
only solution of the foreign credit
problem is the sale here of foreign
Securities. because exporters are re-
Iuctant to dispose of their goods on
credit unless 1t is guaranteed oy the
government. m.;,,
Apparently what Treasury officials
have in mind is creating a market
here for foreign outstanding issues
rather than for new f1otations. Inev

STEEL NEEDS SOUGHT
TO Be MET IN ENGLAND

NEW YORK. December 20.-Con-
sumers and exporters here have been
trying to cover their requirements of
steel to some extent in England.
Sheets are particularly scarce, and
British mills have declined an offer
to the value of $1,000 pounds sterling
for nearby delivery. Automobile
manufacturers have been forced to
buy from exporters at a premium
Foreign demand for billets and semi
finished steel cannot be met. All mills
are behind on orders and independents
are advancing prices.
Several grades of iron have advanced
from 81 to So during the week. No. 2
Philadelphia is now held at $41.10, and
No. valley furnace at $3S. Demand
has slackened during the last few
days because the grades desired were
not Obtainable. Furnaces are now well
sold for the first half of next year. Re-
Strictions upon coke production have
been removed. but the price is still
fixed at s6 for furnace and 81 for
foundry. Much iron export business
has been diverted to England.
Copper is unchanged from last week
at 1S14 to 10 cents as to position.
Stocks are ample, but the market is
still firm Since last week sales of be-
tween 5000 and 5000 tons have been
made for export. and a fair domestic
trade has been done.
The principal producers, for the sec
ond time within week, have ad
vanced the price of lead. Stocks with
producers and consumers are light.
Zinc quiet. but firm.
Tin has advanced with London, and
is now up to SAX to 541 y for nearby
and 543. for shipment. A fairly active
business was done during the week.
Antimony continues in active de-
mand and strong at sA for wholesale
lots.

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS.

CHICAGO, December 20.-WeaknesS
that characterized the corn market
today was due principally to liberal
receipts here. The close was heavy.
to 1.37K, and May 1855. Oats finished
at declines of 3s to 2H, and provisions
unchanged to Is down.
Corn began to swing downward
after little display of strength near
the opening. The early advance came
about as result of sharp upturns in
British exchange. and owing to a
Treasury had made in regard to
credits for Europe Buying. however
lacked force, and there were signs of
q somewhat general disposition to an
ticipate the arrival of more plentiful
supplies than have heretofore been ex-
pected. Besides, the receipts in Chi
cago for the week were 700, 900
bushels in excess of the shipments. In
addition, favorable weather for rail-
road operation was looked for and it
was indicated that the visible supply
total would show a fair increase on
Monday. January delivery was the
most depressed of any.
Oats went lower with corn. Both
domestic and seaboard demand was
slow. Provisions were weakened BY
the breaks in the value of grain
Strength in the hog market and in
sterling was thus more than counter
balanced.

ELECTS OFFICERS
No Action Taken in Filling
Two Vacancies for Vice
PreSidenCieS.

AT the board meeting of the recently
elected directors of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad Company. held in New
York on Wednesday, the corporate of
flcers OF the company were reelected
They included Daniel Willard, presi-
dent; George NJ. Shriver. vice presi-
dent; II. l.. Bond. jr., general counsel.
and c. w. Woolford. secretary.
No action was taken on filling the
two vice president vacancies caused
by the withdrawal of Arthur w.
Thompson and ]. w. Davis. 1t had
been thought the filling of these va
cancies would be taken up at this
meeting. The fact that no decisive
action was taken in this direction is
regarded as indicating the belief of
the board that the road will not be
turned back to the owners by the first
ditional officers as long as the gov
ernment operates the roads.
Vacancy May Go to Galloway.
1t is generally believed in railroad
circles that one of the vacancies will
go to Charles w. Galloway, federal
manager of the eastern end of the
lines, formerly general manager of
the system. When the lines were
taken over by the government he was
vice president in charge of the south
western division. The other man re-
ceiving favorable consideration, it is
believed, is S. Ennis. who was with
the Western Maryland before the late
war Under federal control Mr.. Ennis
has been with the operation of both
roads, and Is held in high esteem.
Dividend Payable March I.
The regular dividend of 2 per cent
on preferred stock of the company
was declared. payable March 1. to
stockholders OF record. on January
II. 1920.

NEW YORK COFFEE MARKET.

NEW YORK. December 20. The
market for coffee futures opened at a
decline of six points. under scattered
liquidation inspired by unsettled
brazilian markets and rumors of low
er cost and freight offers from Rio.
The firmer ruling of sterling exchange
led to covering, however. and there
were rallies later, with May selling
up from 1909 to 1915. and with the
market closing net unchanged to
points higher. Business was quiet.
Closing bids: December, 1850; jan

showed a decline of 1-16d to II h

decline of 200 reis in the Rio market.
The Santos spot market was 900 to

STOCK MARKET PRICES
HAVE A SHARP RECOVERY

NEW YORK. December 20.-Rallies
from the recent decentralization in for
eign exchange. easier rates for call
money and a concerted drive against
the shorts in some Of the popular
speculative issues effected sharp re-
covery of prices in the stock market
this week.
The rebound lacked uniformity,
however, rails. for example, holding
back on the unsatisfactory status of
federal legislation and the attitude OF
organized labor respecting the return
of the railroads to private owners.
Trading in the early days Of the
week was comparatively dull and
often without definite tendencies, but
extensive purchases Of oils. motors
and the usual leaders among steels
and equipme ents elevated average quo
tations materially at the end.
All classes of industrials were
stimulated by the enormous demand
for finished products in steel. and iron
and coppers were moderately respon-
sive to large exports and higher prices
for the refined metal.
The Supreme Court decision sus-
tanning wartime prohibition, and the
agreement entered into by the big
packers with the government to with
draw from all outside business except
dairy products, exerted only tempo
rary effect upon the general financial
situation.

FINANCIAL FIRMS GIVE
$25,OOO,O0O IN BONUSES

NEW YORK. December 20.-Total dis
bursements by banking and stock brok-
erage firms in the financial district for
salary bonuses during the last year, in
Guiding Christmas gifts. were estimated
today at $25, 600, 900. While no accurate
record is obtainable either for this or
other years. persons familiar with con-
ditions in the financial district declared
that never before had there been such
a generous distributions of gifts and
bonuses.
1t is estimated that one hundred banks
and trust companies will distribute
from 20 to 60 per cent in salary bonuses
for the year just closed. In a few cases
employees of these institutions will have
received 100 per cent bonuses over their
salary of the preceding year.
Between 800 and 500 stock exchange
firms and other dealers in stocks and
securities also have made liberal allot-
ments to their employees. The average
gratuity Of the institutions in the course
of the year is said to be so per cent, in
