CORN CLOSES UNSETTLED.
Most Gains Arc Lost Under PROFIT
Taking During Day.

CHICAGO, March 5.-Aggressive. specu-
lative buying. due largely to assertions
that commercial values Of corn were
much below the feeding worth. led to de-
cided advance In the corn market to-
day, but most Of the gain disappeared
under profit taking. The close was un-
settled, Nc. lower to Nc. up. with May
S1.29A to $1.29% and July $1.24& to
$1.24s. Oats finished q to NC. higher
and provisions down TO 20c.
Many big houses became active on the
buying side OF corn and there was
scarcity of offerings until figures over
topping any since the mid-January had
been touched The heavy snowfall east
OF the Mississippi, it was said, would
tend to curtail the movement from the
farms and to increase feeding. AS the
visible supply showed a total of only
about one-quarter of the average amount
for this season, and as farm reserves
were generally believed to be light, at
tentioD focused a good deal on reports
| Of decreased corn acreage and on the
large number of hogs In the hands of
growers. During the last part Of the
day many longs yielded to temptation to
signs that the new advance led to freeT
country selling.

GLASS ABANDONS
REFUNDING PLAN
Proposal to Issue Obligations
Guaranteed by q. S. Goes
Into Discard.

Carter Glass, Secretary OF the Treas
ury. has abandoned his plan to refund
a large portion Of the loans made to
our allies by the United States Govern
ment, according to word received late
yesterday by bankers in this city. The
credits extended to foreign countries up
to tho beginning OF this month approx
mated $4,000. 100000 and drafts against
the credits exceeded $4,000. 100000. It
was the plan of the Secretary to FUND
them by issuing obligations guaranteed
by the United States Government In the
hope Of reducing the amount to be raised
under the Victory Loan, but tho plan
has gone into the discard.
Local bankers were elated when they
found that the Secretary had appreciated
the soundness Of their arguments against
such a course The plan to convert a
portion Of the loans. largely on demand
notes, to the Allies into negotiable bonds
for. sale to the people Of the United
States was first preached by Charles A.
Hinsch, formerly president Of the Amer
lean Bankers Association. and bill In
troduced by Senator Smoot, which failed
of passage, was designed TO carry out
such a project
The earlier plans did not comprehend
Government guarantee ana IL was 1elt
that such a dotation would not meet
with popular success as the issues would
not be rediscountable at the Federal re-
serve banks. Secretary Glass however
had looked with favor on the stamping
of a Government guarantee on such
issues and probably was prevented from
carrying out the scheme largely by the
new demands thrust upon domestic
credit by the failure OF Congress to act
upon the general deficiency bill.
Local bankers. particularly those who
have had International dealings. were
| against the project from the start. II
| was pointed out that the Allies have
been paying per cent on credits and
that the lowest rate that any large re-
funding operation of the character could
| carry would be 515 per cent. 1t was
held that a large fiotation at ga pei
| cent. would affect not only the entire in
vestnent market but depreciate invest
ments OF savings banks and Other
! fiduciary Institutions and place then
more or less in jeopardy.
| The credits extended exceed $4,000,
900, 900 in the case of Great Britain ant
$4,000 000.0 In the case OF France
| The project. which has been abandoned
had more or less effect ON the marke
value of existing foreign Government

Du Points Report for 1913 shows
Heavy Gain over 1917.

Although gross receipts of the e. 1.
du Pont do Nemours & Co. for 1913 were
nearly $50. 00o, 900 greater than in 1917,
heavy increase in operating charges, as
result OF gar. caused a decline of
nearly 100000 in net earnings for
the year. as compared with 1917. A
further decrease of about 81, 900, 900 was
made because of losses incurred on con-
tracts which were written off. Net earn
ings were equal to s67.02 share on
common. against s77.49 a share in 1917.
The gross receipts for 1918 were $780,
121.6o7, against s269.s42.465 in 1917.
The net earnings. however, after deduc-
ton Of expenses, &C.. fell to ${7,221.367.
against S49.112,sb3 in 1917 and $50. 013.-
019 in 1916. Adjustments for losses
totalled more than 100000. bringing
the net receipts for 1918 down TO $43,-
oss.o74. against s3s.25s.661 in 1917 and
So. f07.692 in 1915.
Deducted from these net receipts were
dividends on debenture stock totalling
Sa,6<S.S22, the same as in preceding
years, and common dividends Of SIS. s02,-
0e2. The dividends paid on common in
1917 totalled more than $4,000. 900, and
