STOCKS AND BONDS

NEW YORK, June 23.-Lacking guidance from any constructive quar- ter, today's ssion of the stock ex- change was dull and superficial from the irregular opening to the apathetic close. The ticker was motionless for long intervals and many issues which usually contribute to the days busi- ness were relegated to obscurity.
 Financial, industrial and related considerations seemed to play no part in the days operations and pools evi- dently found it unprofitable to con tinue their recent tactics in selected specialties.
 Steels. equipments ,oils and sev- only noteworthy movement, notably Crucible, American Car, Baldwin, Mexican Petroleum, sugars and corn products. These and kindred stocks finished at variable advances. Sales 100000 shares.
 l The money market reflected the general inertia, call loans repeating their recent low and high quotations Of to II per cent on reduced borrow. ings. From S1a to per cent was again bid for time funds but offerings were negligible. Apathy extended again to exchange in money market The London rate reacted moderately as the buying power diminished with concurrent easement of French and Italian quotations. Reports and other advices dealing with the railroad ls D. or situation were confusing, but indi- cated for the most part that the strike is on the wane at this and adjacent centers. These disturbances, however, again crippled production at eastern steel and iron mills, according to trade authorities.
 Losses of large fractions to roint were made by bonds of leading rail road systems, but Liberty issues were steady Total safes, par value, SIP. 100000. Old United States bonds were unchanged on call

PRINCE PAUL IS

tCCntinued from Page Ope.l
which the king and his premier were
said to have been at odds was over the
kings mokganatic marriage to Mile
Manos, daughter of a former aide-de-
camp to his father, said to have
taken place in November, 1919. No
record of the marriage was obtainable
owing toy the fact that it, was not re
corded with the metropolitan of Ath-
ems the supreme eccleciastic author
ity of Greece.
Phe young king and his morgaua tic
wife were childhood friends and
sweethearts. Alexander asserted That
he had a right to marry whoever he
pleased and took his bride to the pal
ace in Athens 80 y
This aroused a storm of discussion
which so displeased MS wife that in
the early part OF 1920 she went with
her mother and sister to live in. Paris.
and Alexander visited her there in the
following May. 1t was announced
that the Greek constitution did not
grant him permission to enter upon
the morganatic marriage and that ae-
ton by the Greek parliament would
be necessary to determine whether
Mile. Manos could become iqueen of
Greece or remain the kings official
consort. :.
Alexander's refusal to give up his
wife was said to have greatly worried
Venizelos and there were reports that
the king would not return to Greec5.
He did SO, however, and witnessed

WON'T PERMIT PRoF1TEERfNG.
School Book Commission VIII Not
| Permit More Than Is Per Cent.

Profiteering in school books will not
be permitted, declares ]. H. MeIlhen-
ny secretary of the state school book
commission. The superintendent of
schools of Sumner county has written
the commission that he has received
complaint of alleged profiteering by a
book dealer in that county who has
been adding. about so per cent to the
wholesale price, while Is per cent is
all that the state law allows.
The dealer, according to the in
formation received, has been charging
rs cents for one of the music books
the wholesale price of which is So
cents. The maximum retail price au-
thorized is so cents. The price placed
by the dealer on the American history
text used in high schools is $2.20,
while the wholesale price is $1.49 and
the legal retail price is s1.71. The
ancient and medieval history text is
sold by this dealer for $3.50. The
wholesale price of this book is s154
and the authorized retail price SLIT.
Prices for other texts are proportion
ately high, 1t is said.
The law creating the state school
book commission empowers the COM
mission to revoke the license of any
dealer who attempts to charge more
than 8 per cent profit. In addition,
taking an excess profit is made a mis-
demeanor with a penalty of a s25 to
e1UO Iile anu a SU-udy jail SGAtSHc65
or both, if convicted.
Book dealers over the state gen
orally are observing the law" Mr.. Nc
Ilhenny said. "Only one previous
complaint of profiteering has been re-
eeiyed by the commission this year. In
that case the dealer was instructed to
pay back to each pupil every cent
charged above the cost price plus a
profit of 3 per cent.
/ "An investigation of the Sumner
county case has been started and if
the allegations are found to pc true
the dealer will be ordered to refund
the excess charged and to revise his
scale of prices Failing to do this, ths
dealer will be prosecuted"
Altho Is per cent may seem to be
small fmargin for handling the books
it should be remembered that the
wholesale price is f. o. b. the dealers
town, the sales are made compare
lively easy as the demand is assured
and there is little loss from unseld
books because the texts are standard
and may be returned to the publisher
Mr.. McIlhenny said.
