VIII Study Markets
For u. S. Farm Produce
Department of Agriculture to
Undertake Special Campaign
i'm Interests of Farmers

WASHINGTON, April 5.--ln the gov
ernmcnt's programme for the extension
Of American foreign trade promotion
Of the farmers interests has been
placed entirely in the hands of the De
partment of Agriculture's bureau Of
markets, which announced to-day that
several agricultural trade commission
crs, as permanent representatives, viii
be sent abroad to report on conditions
and study the marketing and distribu-
tion of American farm products.
Heretofore little has been done in
systematic way looking to promotion
of the farmers interests abroad, al
though before the war foreign trade
in agriculture products reached to-
tai of more than n billion dollars, or
40 per cent Of the total exports Of the
country.
ain view Of the extensive changes in
methods Of distribution required dur
ing the war to meet the acute needs
for food and raw materials under diff
cult shipping conditions, the trade in
agricultural products now must under
90 read justment in It's return to pri-
vate channels" said Charles } Brand,
chief Of the market bureau, to-day. "ln
some respects American exporters and
foreign importers must start afresh,
and as they resume business they will
encounter many strange conditions. To
answer numerous inquiries for infor-
nation and as Il means of anticipating
the general demand and promoting the
interests of American agriculture in
the readjustmcnt of world trade, week

Among the specific activities of the
bureau Will be Investigations on grain
and grain products. cotton and cotton
seed products. livestock and meats,
dairy and poultry products. fruits, veg

Cunard to Capitalize Reserve

Information received by mail from
Liverpool says that the directors of the
Cunard Steamship Company have de-
cded that it would be desirable in the
interests of the stockholders to make
the issued capital correspond more
closely than it does at present with the
net assets employed in the business.
To achieve this object the stockh olders
were asked recently to capitalize the
reserve fund to an extent OF issuing to
shareholders one new fully paid ordi-
nary share for each ordinary share now
held. "The effect of this" says the
chairman of the board, will be that
the total number of ordinary shares is
sued viii be doubled, but as the total
value of the net assets employed in the
business viii be unaltered each share
will be worth half as much as an ordi-
nary share on the present basis Of
ltalization. The directors are salts
fled that the profits of the company in
1918 will Justify a dividend al the rate
OF 30 per cent, less income tax, on the
ordinary shares as at present issued
If the reserve fund is capitalized as
proposed the directors will recommend
to the annual meeting April 30 the pay
ment of Il dividend Of 10 per cent, less
income tax on the total ordinary share
capitalization as increased.' Ii Is pro-
posed to increase the capital stock by
100000 new ordinary shares of 81
each.

The Presidents condition was not
serious. and British authorities in
timated the peace treaties will be
concluded by next Wednesday. But
no definite intimations had yet come
from the steel price conferrees at
Washington, though there was a
great deal of talk that the opposi-
ton Of other government officials
than Director General Hines, in
cluding that attributed to the At
tornoy General, would lead to
abandonment of the plan. The
whole effect of such an abandon
ment, even if news Of it had been
official or confirmed, is so wide and
uncertain that it could hardly have
been digcsted in the course of a
two-hour session. The result of the
combined influences and of the
usual Saturday "evening up Of
commitments was an irregular
market, with few movements of
any great consequence. Sterling
exchange was again strong, reach
ing a new high record since the
