LOW RECORD MADE FOR
10 DULLNESS OF MARKET

NEW YORK, June 5.-Infuenced
mainly by further limitations imposed
upon unessential credits, the stock
market this week established low rec
ord for dulIness thus far this year. This
did not apply to bonds, liberty issues
showing moderate activity at the ex-
pense of quoted values
The political situation was among the
deterrent factors, commission houses at
tributing much of the curtailment of op-
erations. especially by the public, to un-
certainty regarding the outcome of next
weeks developments at Chicago.
Local money conditions were un-

BOOKS ARE CLOSED ON
...:.BELGIUM'S BOND LOAN
Big F1otation With Peculiar Fea-

-
Floated.

NEW YORK, June Books closed
for the Belgian loan subscription at 10
o'clock this morning and, as expected,
the number of applications consider
ably exceeded the amount of bonds
afaf1able.
This was a notable achievement in
view of the magnitude of the offering.
1t was the first time that anything
like a $50.000.000 fiotation had been
put out to test the market.
7lThe success of the Belgian loan had
favorable effect upon other recent
issues, especially the Pennsylvania
equipment Is, which had fair re-
covery from the reaction of the two
previous days.
The rest Of the bond list was very
irregular. with prices fractionally up
and down from yesterdays final.

ton and were off about SO cents all

SWEEPING UPTURNS IN
CORN PRICES THIS WEEK

CHICAGO. June 5.-Sweeping up
turns in the price Of corn have taken
place this week chiefly as a result of
failure of efforts to hurry the much
belated crop movement. Compared
with a week ago corn quotations this
morning were 9A cents to 111s cents
higher. and oats up ga cents to IN
cents. In provisions the outcome varied
from 80 cents decline to 2h cents
gain.
AS soon as sufficient time had
elapsed for new effects to be produced
by stringent federal orders to the
railroads that more cars be furnish
ed, the continued meagerness of ar
rivals of corn led quickly to a steep
advance. So impetuous was the rush
to buy that in a single session 7L
cents bushel was added to values.
Subsequent warnings to the railroads
that penal sections of the interstate
commerce act would be invoked had
only temporary bearish export busi-
ness in Argentina gave fresh advan-
tage to the bulls in corn, and SO too
did reports that the 1920 domestic
grain season was ten to twenty days
late.
Oats climbed to the topmost prices
yet this season. simultaneously re-
ceipts dwindled nearly to zero.
Provisions were weakened by the
fact that the stock of lard here was
the second heaviest on record.

given to the understanding in banking
circles that the agreement was only a
conditional part of an ingenious finan-
cial arrangement, which enables Great
Britain to pay her own hundred million

Not only is this S50.000.000 to be

be gradually extinguished through an ar
rangement whereby Great Britain for
certain period. pays in London the In
terest on the principal part of Argen-
tina's external debt. bankers have
learned.
Thus far the Argentine government
which was unable to get a renewal of
the loan in the United States. has made
public only the fact that Great Britain
has agreed to take care of the obliga-
ton in behalf of Argentina, and La
Epoca. the government organ. has
praised the transaction as an evidence
of Great Britain's friendship to Argen-
tina and of great promise for the future
relations of the two countries.
Bankers say there is no doubt but
that the payment by Great Britain of
Argentna's debt has greatly increased
the prestige of the British in this coun-
try. and has been correspondingly detri-
mental to that of the United States. but
call attention to the fact that the trans
action is not without it's advantage to
Great Britain also.

FACTS OF IMPORT
IN PRICE CONTROL
Reductions May Depend on
Willingness of Retailers to
Cut Profits.
From National City Bank Of CHICAGO.

ioiiA 1>oeioHai Sity BANK OF Chicago.
The recent prevalence of price cut
ting has caused retailers everywhere
to ask the question, "If 1 sell my
stocks of goods at concession now
can I obtain merchandise for renewal
or replacement of supplies at per-
manently reduced price level,
1t is believed by many merchants
that the recent reductions of 10 to
25 per cent in retail goods are not
permanent, and that in many cases
prices will be still higher next fall
1t Is argued that wages will not come
down meanwhile and that the recent
curtailment of production at many
factories will cause pronounced scar
city. This applies especially to goods
already manufactured or being manu-
factured for distribution next fall.
On the other hand. it is argued that
the prices of raw silk, wool and hides
| must decline owing to accumulation
of supplies on account of the cur
taflment Of factory production, so
that even If wages do not decline the
factory costs, will be less on goods
manufactured during the last half of
1920. These goods would not be dis
tributed until next spring, but during
fall and winter retailers will be quick
to sell at reduced prices if prices in
1921 are to be lower. Moreover, even
II the rate of wages does not decline
1t is expected that the idleness aris-
ing from the curtailment of factory
production will lead to a reduction in
labor cost owing to a growth of eff
hciency among workers That is
workers always become more efficient
when prices decline and trade slack
ems.
Merchants Can Cut Profit.
Then again it is pointed out that
even If the factory cost does not de-
cline much. retail prices will be per-
manently reduced, because merchants
have been receiving abnormal profits
and can reduce prices substantially
and still realize what in former years
was considered a fair trade profit.
This does not mean that merchants
have been gouging the public, be-
cause 1t is obvious that it has been
the extravagant demand of the pub
lie that has forced up retail prices
and caused raw materials to advance.
But. reversely, if the demand for
goods slackens during the next twelve
months there should logically be
natural reaction in mercantile prof
its and the prices of raw materials.
Depends on Spending Power.
The whole question, then, depends
upon whether the spending power of
the public can be maintained or must
decrease. The spending power of the
public in turn will depend upon
whether credit is expanded further
or is restricted to the present aggre-
gate. The reason that prices in
creased in 1920 was because the busi-
| ness world had at it's command not

MEXICO is CONSIDERING
FINANCIAL RESTORATION
Head of Treasury Puts National

MEXICO CITY. June 5.-Financial
restoration of Mexico is one of the

suggested an Anglo American COM
mission of bankers should be formed
to lend Mexico 100000 pesos, the
loan to extend over a period of five
years.
"A step must be taken to restore
Mexico's financial position" he de-
clared, "and to reduce expenditures,
especially those for the army. force
Of $4,000 men. with not more than
ten or twelve high chiefs, is suffi-
