LIVE STOCK MARKET
National Stock Yards, July Sth.
Receipts

t0IlGtp 1GJopO
CATTLE.--For the past week or
ter days receipts in this department
ranged from four to six thousand
head daily the first four days, vol
ume which has been within actual
needs of the trade, and no oversupply
has existed, such as was the case
three or four weeks ago. The direct
result of the shrinkage in receipts has
been a decidedly improved condition
of the market, and the facts are that
the general trade, compared with the
low spot a few weeks ago, ranges
| fully 81 to $3.50 per cwt. higher on
all classes of killing cattle. The
strength has been especially dominant
the present period when all classes of
! fat stuff show an advance of soc to
75c, with the Gamers and common
southern yearlngs showing the least
improvement, though they are fully
: 25c and in cases SOC higher for the
week. In extreme instances sales OF
some of the fat stuff today were full
ly 81 perc VT. higher than the low
spot a few weeks ago, but any adj
vance of this character should be TAX
en- with a grain of salt, because 1t Is
no criterion upon which to judge the
general market, and, in sense OF
the word, would be misleading. Opin
ions as to the future naturally differ
vastly, but our opinion is that if the
volume of receipts do no: become eH
cessive or much beyond the presen
volume we have at least got an ever
break OF sustaining tie present sat
isfactory level of prices. But an!
unusual increase in receipts would IN
doubtedly see buyers fighting the sit
uatlon hard, and the logical outcom,
to expect would be lower values. II

Markets for Several Families.
But why should the two sisters who
! live in that tiny little house by the al

of groceries? Simply because they
were in business for themselves. They
had learned how to buy skillfully and
each day did marketing for a dozen
busy ladies.
Remedies Hats.
In the big brick house over on Main
street Dorothy found a skillful girl
who was making over second best"

hats and remodeled them so tastefully
that, often without spending a cent for
new material, they proved more be-

Big Motor Merger
Nearing Completion
Consolidation of Maxwell and
Oh liners Companies
Expected Next Week

Negotiations for the consolidation
OF the Maxwell Motor Company Inc
and the Chalmers Motor Corporation
will probably be completed next week
1t was ascertained yesterday. The
merger, which involves assets of $50
100000, has been informally approved
by the directors of both enterprises
1t was said in authoritative quarters
The combination, for which new
securities will be issued, will prob
ably be known as the MAXWELL -Chal-
mers Corporation.
The union of the two concerns will
not greatly disturb present manufact-
rrlng arrangements, as the Maxwell
organization now has lease on the
Chalmers plants in Detroit. The Max
we'll managerial forces, it was said.
will direct the operations in the new
organization.
The chief consideration now under
discussion is the terms under which
the new stock will be issued. The
plan of the directors of both cor
porations will have to be submitted
to the stockholders for approval be-
fore adoption.
The Maxwell Company on Septem-
Der l, 1917, leased for period Of five
years all the property and assets of
the Chalmers organization at a rental
OF one-half the net profits derived
from operation of the leased prom
erty.

National Equipment Trust
Committee COMPLETED

Jerome J. Hanauer, of Kuhn, Loeb

from other bankers who had been in
vited to serve on special commit
tee appointed by the Association of
Railway Executives on financing rail
way equipment allocated to the roads
by the railroad administration. Mr..
Hanaucr is chairman Of the commit
tee.
The other members are Charles E..
Mitchell, president of the National
City Company; Arthur NJ Anderson,

vice president of the Guaranty Trust
Company; Frederick Allen, Of Lee,
Higginson g. Co., and f. B. Sweezy.
vice-pres dent of the First National
Bank.
Mr. Hanauer will call meeting
early next week, and will present his
own plan for creating securities to
take care of the equipment valued at
between $30O,000,OOO and S4OO 1000. 900.
After a very few meetings the com
mlttee expects to have its proposal
ready to submit to the railroad ad-
ministration.

Diuerted Investment

The large oversubscription of the
Victory Loan, necessitating a par
ing off of many orders in excess
of $4,000, in accordance with the
intention of Secretary Glass to
limit the issue to $4,5OO,0 100000. re-
leased much investment energy and
has impaired added strength to the
bond market. Many wealthy ind-
vlduals, whose subscriptions were
greatly cut down, have already in
vested the disparity between the
amount they sought and that which
they were allotted in Liberty bonds
and other high grade bonds.
Another result of the wide dis
tribution of the Victory notes is
the cutting down of bank subscrin-
tlons. One large banking institu-
ton is getting only AZ per cent of
its subscription, and that ratio is
fairly typical of the allocations in
this district.

Cotton

Liquidation in view of the approach
ing ee-day holiday was the out
standing feature in the cotton marx #
yesterday. 1t was offset. however hv
unfavorable weather and strength in
the goods trades, and at the close
prices were 7 to ID points higher, with
Ohe exception of July, which was 9
points lower.
IN the early trading there was q
manifest desire to close out commit
ments, not only because of the possi-
plllty OF untoward happenings during
lhe long races, but also because Of
some uncertainty as to just what the
government crop report, which will be
issued Monday, will show. According
10 some authorities, the report is likely
10 be less unfavorable than is gener-
ally expected The early selling
brought about a break of 43 to 81
points. October sold down to 3O19. at
winch flgure it showed loss of POI
points from the high level of last Mon
day. Moderate trade buying helped to
steady the market and gradual re-
covery followed.
Activity in the goods markets ap-
pears to have quieted down somewhat.
and this has resulted in falling off
OF trade demand for cotton. The lull
IN the goods markets, however. is be-
leved to be due more to the with
drawal of many lines of goods than to
lighter demand. At the manufacture
ers' convention at Atlantic City stress
has been laid upon the worlds short
age OF cotton and cotton goods. This
has brought conviction to many minds
which heretofore have been impressed
most by the large quantity of cotton
held in this country by reason of the
war embargoes.
Spot sales in the South and at Liver
pool continue heavy. New Orleans sold
1881 bales yesterday, Savannah 523
bales, Norfolk 3,262, August 1870 and
Little Rock 1,031. In the local market
mlddling uplands was quoted at 1915.

Russian Bonds

Indications that the holders OF the
S50,000,000 Russian government ex-
ternal 612 per cent bonds which fall
due on June 18 next will have to ac-
cept an involuntary "extension," since
no provision has been made for meet
ing them, caused a sharp break in the
price Of the bonds on the curb. On
Wednesday they had advanced to a
new high of SGT per s1oo bond on
reports that the bankers were forming
protective committee. Yesterday
they fell to $63 on transactions aggre-
eating par value of S630,00O and
closed 81 bid, 65 asked. The Russian
government external g. rs, on which the
semi-annual interest due on June
will be paid, were also weak, declin-
ing from 5S to 50 and closing at SIS.

The fractions

Following the statements of Lewis
Nixon, Public Service Commissioner,
speaking before the Brooklyn Chamber
of Commerce, practically all New York
traction stocks and bonds were strong
Mr.. Nixon was quoted as saying that
ii he had had the power to advance
rates he would have exercised it be-
fore now. His former belief had been
that "if other cities all over the coun-
try could run their lines without re-
sorting to fare increases or municipal
ownership New York could" But "in-
spection showed that other cities have
been facing and combating the same
kind of obstacles and settling them
with the same methods considered here

The Markets
The Movement

Transactions were less than a mill
ion and a half shares yesterday. This
was the only outward effect of the
threcday holiday. Evidently most of
the pre-holiday selling had been ac-
complished in the early part of the
week. Both railroad and industrial
stocks advanced on the average. Most
attention was attracted by Interna-
tional Mercantile Marine shares, the
common declining Ia points and the
preferred, after falling to 1909, closed
at 1872 IS, a net decline Of 23s There
was an advance of 71a points in Amer
lean Woolen common, 5A in General
Motors, 5 in Liggett & Myers, 1912 in
P. Lorillard, 2s in Mexican Petroleum,
2A in Southern Pacific, 9as in Stude-
baker and 3M in United States Rub
bcr. The market had been quiet and
uncertain in its general movement
until near the last hour, when great
activity and advance came in.
