Cuban Loan Awaited

Important developments in connec-
tion with the proposed American loan
to Cuba are expected to follow the re-
turn in few days Of Albert Rath-
bone, special adviser to the Cuban gov
ernment in this matter, who has gone
to Cuba to look over the ground Mr..
Rathbone is expected to bring back
with him blanket authorization from
the Cuban Congress for the flotation
of loan here. This will be presented
to the New York banking group inter
ested in the proposition. The bankers
have appointed an informal committee
consisting of Dwight W. Morrow, of
J. P. Morgan e. Co.; Charles f.
Mitchell, of the National City Com
pany; and Eugene w. Stetson, of the
Guaranty Trust Company, to handle
the loan negotiations at this end.
Originally it was hoped to arrange
one year note issue. but market con-
ditions, the investment bankers say,
are such that securities of such a
short maturity would not go we'll. The
talk is now Of a ten-year per cent
loan.

Stocks Recover
After an Early
Break in Market
Unfilled Stee! Tonnage at
Lowest Ehb of Year. Cor
poration Report Shows;
Grain Prices Are Lower

Persistent selling In the forenoon
further depressed the prices of rail-
road and industrial stocks esterday,
but later in the day robust recovery
effaced the larger share of the days
losses. In the grain markets, the
price tendency was toward lower
levels, but in the Cotton Exchange,
where dullness prevailed, quotations
revealed gains up to thirty points for
the session.
The unremitting selling of wheat
and corn apparently reflected increased
offers from the producing districts, and
the further break in prices led traders
TO assume that banks were exercising
pressure on those who were holding
comm modities off the market. At the
final sales for the day wheat futures
were quoted from 5% to 6A cents a
bushel lower, and corn losses ran as
high as Az cents bushel. In the last
few days, the grain and cotton markets
have been moving in opposite direc-
tions. Cotton prices, though not con-
spicuously firm. have shown q capac-
ity for remaining stabilized at cur
rent quotations.
In the stock market the average of
thirty representative industrial stocks
was slightly higher than at the close
Of trading Thursday, rising from 74.07
20 i4.l7. On the other hand the av
erage of twenty railroad stocks de-
clined from 64.95 to 6405.
Despite the vacillations, securities
revealed measurable degree of firm
ness. The market is suffering at pres
ent from lack of purchasing power.
AS bankers have observed, many of
those individuals who ordinarily were
buyers of stocks are now borrowers
at the banks, TEN porarilv hard pressed
for funds with which to meet current
needs and With no large surplus accru-
ing for investment and speculative pur-
poses.
In the publication of the untitled ton
mage figures of the Steel Corporation,
IS Of December /, there was a further
measure. Of the extent to which indus
try has receded. The statistics reveal
1921 ,4S1 tons of untitled orders on
hand November 80, showing a shrink
age of s15,371, and bringing the total
down to the lowest figure Of the year.
After the report was made public,
traders sold the steel stocks freely, and,
as steel common made new low for
the year, the other stocks in this group
declined in sympathy. They came back,
however, with the general recovery in
the market.
Call money was lent at per cent
al through the session.

Bedford on Corn Products

has carried the price down to a new
low level for the year, L. c. Bedford.
president, said the company expected
tc maintain from profits the divi-
bends now being pad, including the
extra per cent on the common, in
addition to the regular disbursement
OF per cent. "Business, of course. is
due, and 1T is true we propose to shut
down our plants over the holidays. but
that is not unusual" he added "Our
cash reserve is ample for ali rcquirc-
ments in spite Of the fact that the com
tany had made very large Investments
not only with its own plants but in
the purchase Of number of plants in
Europe, and has obtained large inter
csts in others here. which are pro-
drccrs of the company supplics." Di-
Ecctors, according to Mr.. Bedford, have
voted to retire $1,000 shares of pre-
ferred stock held in the company's
treasury, and bonded Indebtedness has
Nccn reduced from maximum of
Sl5,000000 to about $225OOOO. He
said that inventories had been affected
by price reductions. but that this has
hcen written Off with resulting losses
omparatlvcly small.

Tonnage Figures HIT Steel

United States Steel common broke to
a9A Yesterday, a new low for the year,
foilowlng publication Of the corpora
tons tonnage. figures for November
showing a decline of more than 500 900
tons in untitled orders. AS the falling off
was greater than had been expected bv
more than 100000 tons, traders argued
that the stock had not yet fully dis
counted any future decline in business.
Soon after the new low was estab-
lished, however, supporting orders
came into the market, and Steel by the
close had followed up it's earlier loss
with an advance of more than a point.
Bulls on Steel believe that the great
need of the railroads for additional
equipment and new rails will act as
buffer against lack Of demand from
other quarters

This is the season of Christmas 8
bonuses, and the first announcements
of such disbursements to employees
Of the big downtown banking institu-

ham and Phenix National, in declaring
its quarterly dividend of 81 a share,
announced it would give its employees
25 per cent Christmas bonus. Di-
rectors of the State Bank will give its
officers and employees bonuses varying
from Is to 25 per cent of their salaries,
according to the length of service. The
Cosmopolitan Bank has voted a bonus
of per cent. Other banks in many
cases are giving their employees regu-
lar bonuses to meet the high cost Of
living, and in such cases there will be
TO special Christmas distributions.
Generally speaking, the total Of bon
uses handed out in the financial dis
trict this season will fall iderably

The Lack of Buying Power

One Of the troubles with the securi-
ties market, as veteran Wall Street
man sees it, is that people who are
ordinarily purchasers Of stocks and
bonds are to-day borrowing money to
meet taxes and carry on their busl-
ncsses. Moreover. in many cases their
market position is that of sellers of
securities rather than buyers Here is
held to be one of the main reasons for
she absence of buying power in stocks.

Weakness in the Rails

Increasing realization that despite
the higher freight rates now in effect,
the railroads are feeling the effects Of
the existing industrial depression in q
marked falling off in traffic has caused
8 revision of sentiment in stock mar
kct circles regarding the outlook for
the securities of the carrier COM
panics. This was folcibly brought to
attention yesterday by weakness in
the railroad list, which hit the divi-
dend payers as we'll as the less pros
porous roads. in some instances it
was noted that the decline has carried
the price of q number of issues to be-
low the level that prevailed. before the
rate increase was announced last
August. Figures recently published in
The Tribune indicated that the rail
roads as whole in October failed to
earn that months proportion of the
