days prices showed the extremes Of
a shade lower. to Is cents higher In
spots.
Receipts today were 5000 cattle.
5000 hogs, 10000 sheep compared with

Putting the Bunk in Bunco

President Wilson seems to think the
people will swallow whole all he says,
even to his frequent changes Of mind.
When he started west on his trip at
his Columbus, Ohio, meeting he said.
"if the senate fails to ratify the treaty
we are still at war with Germany"
When he starts east about two weeks
later st Salt Lake City he says, "if
the senate fails to ratify the treaty
we become the ally Of Germany" To
be plain which time was he lying !?
The answer is plain. Both times.

BIG TRADE IN PARIS BONDS.
New Issue Goes Up Immediately,
Much Speculation Resulting.

PARIS, Aug. 4.-Speculation In the
Paris municipal consolidation loan has
been active and at times feverish since
the Issue on June s. 1t has been ono OF
the greatest successes In the history OF
French loans, as only seven bonds could
be allotted for each 1000 applied for.
Among the chief reasons for the sub
stantial response to the city's appeal
for funds il the high credit enjoyed
by the city, which Is next to the State
itself Another reason was that for the
first time the city Is Nled premium
or bonus bond offering a fair. rate Of
interest Before the war the Paris mu-
nicipal premium bonds yielded annually
only about az or per cent The
present issue yields francs so confines
per 100 francs.
Immediately after the issue the bonds
went to a premium of 30 to 25 francs,
80 that the fully paid 500 franc bond
issued at $50 francs was quoted at and
around par.
The total of the per cent. bonds Of
fered was 3,125.ooo at s per cent in 100

COPENHAGEN GETS

Banking Syndicate Purchases
Danish City's Bonds to
Offer to Public.

ARRANGEMENTS for the extension OF a
loan Of 5000, 900 to the city OF Copen-
hagen, Denmark. have been completed.
A syndicate Of bankers composed. Of

6 per cent. to more than 6& per cent,
according to maturity.
An annual redemption of $75o,0oo Of
the bonds, beginning in 1925 and con-
tinuing to 1914. is part Of the agree
ment under which the loan was ex-
tended. And at the option of Copen-
hagen, that sinking fund payment may
be increased at any time. Such pay
rnents will constitute the sinking fund
to be applied on July 1, 1925, and on
every July thereafter to the, redemp-
ton at par of bonds. numbers of which
are 70 be determined by lot. The yield
on the bonds will vary with the redemp-

be s.33 per cent, IL in 1910 It will be
SOS per cent. and II held to maturity It
will be slightly more than 6 per cent.
Loans OF the city of Copenhagen al
ways have been very popular with Eu-
ropean investors, II is said. many OF
them having been held In France, Great
Britain and Germany prior to 1915. but
since the war they have been repur-
chased by Danish investors. Those
bonds carried ~ and 4 per cent cent.
interest, and prior to 1914 sold on the
London exchange at or near par. No
other foreign loan will be issued by the
city OF Copenhagen for at least year.
1t was learned yesterday that Stock
holm has made overtures to bankers
here with view of obtaining a credit
of s15.000.000 on substantially the same
terms as those given to Copenhagen.
Bankers have decided. however. that
there are various reasons why the re-
quest should not be granted at the mo-
| ment- One of the chief of them Is the
desperate need of funds by Belgium
France, italy. Germany and other ma
| lions which have suffered severely as q
| result of war. With the supply of credit
| available in this country becoming less
| and less as days pass, bankers feel that
| as much as possible should be conserved
| for loans to those countries which have
| been ravaged by conflict, and needs OF
1 which are much greater than those Of
ueutrals unscathed by war. The present
unsatisfa Glory condition of the bond
market was not without Its influence or
the decision Of the bankers to postpone
contamination Of a loan to Stockholm.
