Foreign Market Conditions Encourage
WthE6ort to Stabilize Exchange

Further assurance that foreign
market conditions are growing more
encouraging daily with the increas-
ed European effort to stabilize ex-
change, is derived from latest trade
reports by the Guaranty Trust Com
pany of New York in the current
issue of its fortnightly trade re-
view. American Goods and Foreign
Markets" The bulletin says:
Notwithstanding the depressing
effect of unsettled conditions in
some markets, foreign trade devel-
opments of the last fortnight have
brought forth tendencies decidedly
encouraging to merchants anxious
ly watching for further signs OF a
return to normal trade conditions.
Recent reports of Industrial and
commercial conditions show the
beneficial results Of the supreme ef-
forts that European countries are
making to bring their exchange
rates to stronger levels.
Continued Improvement in pro-
ductiSa, both for home consumption
and export, which Is one of the most
effective remedies for a weak ex-
change. can be seen in most Euro
pean countries, particularly Great
Britain, Belgium, France and Italy.
One development. which will likely
react favorably on French exchange,
will be the final adoption by the

INDEPENDENT SHEET & TIN
PLATE co. FACES CRISIS

Youngstown, Ohio, June 16.-The
Independent Sheet & Tin Plate Com
pany, manufacturers, operating un-
der a wage agreement with the
Association Of Iron,
Steel. and Tin Workers, face an in
definite suspension of their opera
tions after expiration of existing
wage scale on June 80.
Employees and union representa-
tives, after 10 days effort at At
lantic City, failed to agree on a
wage scale for the next working
year. and the Amalgamated Asso-
citation men refused to agree to a
renewal on the conference efforts
before the first day in September.
The manufacturers, on the other
hand, insisted without avail to an
other conference in about two weeks.
The American Sheet & Tin Plate
Company works upon an open-shop
basis, and is not involved in this
Sheet supply for auto
mobile industry will be greatly af-
fected by a suspension of the inde-
pendent mills such as is, forecast,
and many automobile makers are
dependent on these producers for
their streets.

COTTON MARKET.

New York, June Is. - The cotton
market weakened today after it had
displayed firmness during the first
hour. Trading was not particularly
active. but aside from purchasing by
Wall street the demand was poor.
Initial quotations were two points
higher to seven points lower, but the
market turned stronger on covering
by Wall street and local interests.
Liverpool became a buyer after the
start and cables were a little better
than had been expected. The COW
ering movement continued through
out the first hour and active months
sold about seventeen to twenty
eight points net higher with Octo-

The lowest levels were established
in the last hour under local and
Southern selling. the net loss ex-
tending to 35a53 points. The close
was barely steady at a net decline
of 25a53 points.
Spot here was quIet with middling
lac. lower at 80 1-4c.; there were
no sales. Spot at New Orleans was

AMERICAN WOODEN co.

1t has been announced that Fran
els G. Caffey. United States attorney,
has filed a writ of error In the
American woolen Company case and
that an appeal would be taken di-
rectly to the United States Supreme
Court. This appeal is from the de-
cision of Judge Julian W. Mack in
the United States District Court last
week, quashing the Indictment
against the American woolen Com
pany of Massachusetts,. the Amer
lean Wooien Company of New York
and William M. Wood. president of
both companies, charging violation
of the Lever act. 1t was stated at
the time by representatives of the
government that an appeal would
be taken to test Judge Mack's con-
clusion.

government of that country Of a
wheat policy for the coming year.
The new wheat bill provides for the
purchase by the state at a fixed
price of all wheat grown in the
country during 1920. and also for
the purchase by thes tate OF all for
eign wheat to be imported into the
country during the year. The exact
extent to which this monopoly OF
wheat importation by the govern
ment will relieve France Of the ne
cessity of importing American
wheat cannot be determined now,
Of course. but 1t becomes almost
obvious that her wheat purchases
in this country will be lessened ma
terially as a result Of the policy and
the exchange situation bettered
accordingly.
British-Soviet Russia Trade.
The recently announced British
project for arranging trade reia-
tions between Great Britain and
Soviet Russia through a Russian
Soviet minister Of trade and COM
merce has not and probably will
not result in any change in the
stand already taken by the United
States on the question. The depar-
ture has found practically no sup
port in other allied countries and
seems destined to meet with consid-
cradle opposition among conserva-
tive groups in England"

OATS PRICES STEADY

Chicago. June 1e.-Net gains Of
X to IL were shown by corn for
the day. Prices held steady as SELL
ing was not aggressive and buying
did not have the power to main
tain values at a high level. There
were few dips and bulges during
the early part of the session, when
local professionals took profits on
long lines and forced a setback, but
commission houses absorbed the Of
ferings and forced a rally of / cent
over the previous close.
So far as the Eastern demand
was concerned. the cash situation
was easier. Sales of 1900 bushels
were reported for shipment, but the
East cancelled $4,000 bushels on
previous contracts. Local receipts
were estimated at 1s5 cars.
Oat prices were steady compared
with the previous close. The trade
was without feature. Scattered
selling at the start caused prices
to ease of. but locals picked up
the offerings and caused a rally.
Rye was s to z cents higher and
barley was unchanged.
Provisions which started easier
in tone were brought about by a
rally above the previous close. The
higher close was due to covering
by local shorts.

MONEY.

New York, June 16.-Offerings of
call money today as was expected
were fairly free at the per cent
renewal figure. 1t had been gen.
orally predicted that in the interval
before the United States Federal
income tax checks came through
the banks there would be a short
interval of relative relaxation in
the money market. In time funds
there is no change whatever, the
only development being some mod
crate loans for thirty days at SIS
per cent.
In prime mercantile paper it is a
dull and uncertain market with
rates unchanged at 81 per cent.
Prime bank acceptances - Rates
unchanged: tone a shade softer.
Quotations are 81 per cent for
prime ninety-day bills. and SIS per
cent for sixty days and per cent
for thirty-day documents.
Call money was in excessive sup
ply allk afternoon being offered at
per cent. 1t was said that the
accumulated offerings at that rate
amounted to over $10,0o0,000.

JAPANESE BANKERS
ASSURE SILK MEN

Japanese bankers have assured
manufacturers and dealers in silks
in Japan that sufficient funds at
reasonable interest rates will a be
available for business purposes in
the future, advices to the Depart
ment of Commerce declared recently.
These merchants acquired stock at
stated prices and have been urging
the necessity of increasing the Sc
curity value of silk as a basis for
advancing funds in the future to
save the industry from it's pre-
carious position. The bankers, It
was declared. in view, of the present
market conditions and the future
outlook, did not think such a step
warranted. The merchants feel re-
lieved from the strain of tight
Toney by reason of the assurances,
and are convinced that there is no
danger of permitting the silk in
dustry to lapse.

New York, June. 1s-It is the gen.

when Virginia-Carolina Chemical
Company directors meet next week
the present rate of per cent will
be increased to s or 6 per cent, or
else an extra distribution will be
declared.
At this time last year the COM
pany declared an extra dividend of
2 per cent in cash. The earnings of
the company. along with other fer
tilixer concerns have been running
high. and those close to the COM
pany say that the fiscal year which
ended May 81 will show earnings of
20 per cent on common stock after.
taxes and dividends on preferred
have been deducted. as against 1909
per cent for the previous year.
