MARCH MATURTTIES SMALL
Total for Month Unusually Low,
Both in Number and Volume

New York, Feb. 19.-In view of the
fact that another government loan will
be foated in the next few months, It is
fortunate that .maturit es coming due in
March are unusually small both in num-
bers and volume, as It will not be neces-
sary to float any large corporation is
sues which would interfere with a clear
field for government borrowings. Total
issues falling due in March, 1919,
amount to s7.5OS,00O compared with
$333, $4,000 in February and $685.

Total OF railroad issues falling due
in March Is $29. 9.s46. 900. Of which South
ern Railway Company's issue two year

the entire amount. This maturity has
already been provided for by recent sale
Of $25,000,0 900, three-year. per cent

taken very liberal part.
Industrial maturities in March do not
call for any expensive financing. total

Chicago, Feb. l9.-The corn market
was erratis today, with sentiment badly
mixed and brokers nervous.
Support at the outset was poor anu
prices were lower under selling by COM
mission houses, due to less stability IN
the position of the cash article, talN OF
a decreased demand for feeding purposes
and more disposition on the part OF
farmers in some sections to dispose OF
their grain. Stop loss orders were
reached on the decline.
Offerings ceased shortly ntter the
opening and prices advanced to goou
nrcmium over the previous close on buy
ing induced by strength IN oats con.
tinued light receipts, pred ctions OF sol'
weather and a tightening up Oh the fep'
ruary delivery. ,.a..
oats were irregular. At the outset
there we're losses due to pressure lor
local bears, who were influenced by the
setback in corn.
The drop was fully recovered peiore
the session advanced far on good buying
by local shorts and support by commls-
sionNhouses due TO "a report that cargo
was worked for export yesterday al
though no bids were received here
Later the market sagged under SELL
ing by commission houses but 1t closed

We find the services as rendered by you in
cashing our invoices, of a verv great help to
us. Previously we were comnelled on ac-
count of using all our ready cash in develop
merit and increasing our business, to get our
money in quickly and only sell to trade on
very short discount terms This not only
compelled us to show our hand to our Gus
tor'ers to explain why we wanted to sell
on short discount terms, but also placed us
more or less at their mercy, as some of our
customers always squeezed us for lower
prices, and such trade as didn't discount,
although good credit we had to let slip by.
Now the dav following the recent bv YOU of
our invoices, we get a large nercentage of
the invoices in cash and it enables us to
trade on a more even basis both in selling
our product and in buying our raw mate

CURRAN OUSTED 81,
FROM HIGHWAY POST
Tammany Gets Revenge for
Drive Under Sulzer.
Spccial DespateA to THn sux.


Albany, June 24.A-Joseph Curran Of
Richmond county. the man who was re-
sponsible for the Indictment of Bart
Dunn. Tammany road contractor. and
many other Tammany road builders
during the reign OF Gov Sulzer, was re-
moved from Office in the State Highway
Department to-day By Highway Com
missioner Frederick Stuart Green. MI
Curran has been CHIEF of the mainte-
nance bureau of the department and was
in civil service classification. In addi-
ton, at the time he took his office he
fled a certificate as an exempt fireman.
In order 20 bring about Mr.. Curran's
removal Commissioner Greene had to
abolish the Office OF chief Of the mainte-
nance bureau.
The highway Investigations conducted
BY Mr. Curran under John A Hennessy
aroused n turmoil at the time.
Politicians in Albany are inclined to
regard the dismissal Of Curran as Tam
nany's revenge after a wait Of six
years.
There was no announcement from the
