In Wall Street
Traders Vacationing

Probably one of the main reasons for
the current stock market dulness lies
in the fact that q large number of
floor tradrs are now taking a vacation.
With an almost entire absence of pub
lie interest in the movement of prices
it is not surprising then that trans
actions are running at such low rate
The few traders who have the temer-
ity to speculate acmit that they are
only too willing to scalp an eighth or
a quarter profit in any stock which
may appear to be taking on SEM
blance of activity. But in the ma
jority of cases tney say that eighth
or quarter is more often taken as a
loss

Money and Credit

With the preparations for meeting
the July 1 dividend and interest dis
bursements estimated at $30O,OOO,0 900,
nearing completion there was an easier
tone to the Wall Street call money
market yesterday and the rate, after
renewing at per cent, dropped later
in the day to per cent. The begin
ming of the week found no change in
time money copditions, however, but
borrowers continued to bid per cent
for mixed money and 812 per cent fer

Lean Commissions

The majority of commission house
brokers would soon be seeking other
occupations if business should be
continued for long at the rate of yes
terday's turnover. Sales were slight
ly in excess of 250,0O0 shares, the
smallest total since September, 1918.
One large wire house which usually
does an active business reported
shortly before 3 o'clock that its orders
had been under a thousand shares. All
sions for the brokers, but it can hard
ly be said that they are suffering from
poverty as yet because of the great
prosperity of last year, when the
Street passed through one of the
greatest bull markets in its history
and the brokers piled up huge profits.
Neglected Public Utilities
The National City Company. in
memorandum on the public utility sit
uaton. asserts that the investor has
thought too much about street railway
troubles and "has failed to realize the
strong position of electric power, light,
telephone, and certain of the gas and
traction properties" 1t adds that "if
certain traction and gas companies are
eliminated from public utilities the in
vestment position of such securities,
as a class, becomes most attractive"
and points out Corporations furnish
ing power and light are enjoying un-
equaled prosperity. There has been
an enormous increase in motor driven
machinery in the last few years. Large
central stations have demonstrated
their ability to produce and distribute
power at such an economical unit cost
that their position is permanently as
sured. The power and light businesses
have not approached the limits of
their growth. The transportation
business, through readjustments that
must surely come, will also offer many
attractive issues

Predicts Rise in Utility Bonds

Every branch Of the public utility
industry undoubtedly requires new
capital and will have to pay higher
rates than ever before in recent years
to obtain funds. AS the National
City Company points out, before the
war public utilities securities of merit
were offered to yield between and
5l2 per cent. The same class of Sc
curites can now be bought to yield
between and per cent, and in many
instances additional values have been
added. The City Company ventures
the prediction that "it is only mat
ter of time when the yields will again
approach lower levels"

Burlington Equipment Financing

With the exception of the proposed
new Swiss loan. the Street is fairly
free from Gossip about new financing,
as it is realized that lull in the mar
ket has been due. However, there is
feeling that the Burlington road
will soon do some equipment financing.
and some time in the near future
the Great Northern will have to make
preparations to meet a maturity Of
500 100000 of notes in September.

st. i.oujs-San Francisco

Several leading officials of the ST.
Louis-San Francisco Railway have
recently made an examination of the
company's prope..v from which the
following has been summarized:
Physical condition very fair. with
large sums being spent in the renewal
of rails and ties, as we'll as in the up
keep of the property; large additions
arc being made tc shops and round
house facilities. which viii result in
reducing to minimum the number of
engines and cars out of service and
needing repair; ,he company is hand
ling the heaviest traffic in its his
tory. and its present earnings are only
limited by its ability to handle the
business offered: the zinc and lead
mines in Missouri and Oklahoma are
producing a very iGrge tonnage: the
oil industry in Kansas. Oklahoma and
Texas is continually expanding result
ing in large and continued increase
in the movemen, Of oil over the
Frisco's lines; there are two new coal
fields along the load which promise
additional tonnage; within the past
ten months 40 additional new heavy
locomotives and $500 new freight cars
have been added to equipment; gross
earnings have increased about Is per
cent over last year

Transportation and Bank Loans

The effect of the transportation
deadlock on the credit tiehtness has
been oft explained in recent weeks.
and. though the interrelation between
the two is unquestionably close, bank
ers are now beginning to wonder
whether observers are not OVERRIDING
the story. One financier whose posi-
tion enables him to see the situation
as a whole said that if overnight
enough cars sprang into being to de-
liver Immediately all of the congested
freight there would not be an mme-
diate liquidation of bank loans against
the goods now in transit. He pointed
out that the outstanding loans would
have to be shifted from the seller to
the buyer when the goods were de-
livered. Better transportation service
would bring the loans one step nearer
liquidation. but would not cause liqui-
dation itself forthwith.

Nightly applications of Vicl;'s
VapoRub will aid nature in this
work. Because Vicks acts locally
by stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at
tract the blood away from the
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici-
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.
These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the inAamed areas.
Vicks should be ribbed in
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red-then spread on
thickly and covered with hot
flannel cloths. Leave the cloth
ing loose around the neck and
the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel so the vapors
arising may be freely inhaled. If
the cough is annoying, swallow a
small bit of Vicks the size of a pea.
Samples to new users will be
sent free on request to the Wick

Pneumonia attacks the air cells
Of the lungs. An inflammation
is set up and matter is thrown
off which causes the air cells to
solidify, thus preventing the
natural flow of blood thru the
lungs. This backing up" of
the blood causes the heart to
pump harder, just as stepping on
a hose increases the water pres
sure, which is the reason why,
during this disease, the physician
watches the overburdened heart
SO carefully.
After recovery the lungs are
filled with a mass of wreckage-
the debris of the battle-which
must be gotten rid Of by a process
known as resolution. Frequently,
inhamed spots remain, congestion
persists, cough hangs on, and the
least exposure brings on a cold
that is hard to get rid of. If
neglected, such damaged air pas
sages may easily develop serious
disease Of the lungs.
Such cases should always con-
tinue under a physicians care
and frequent examinations should
be made to see that nature is

BIG SUMMER TRADE
 WITH SIBERIA PREDICTED

A big increase in trade between Nome and the Siberian coast next summer is predicted by local trades- men who are cognizant of the outlook. This view is based on the volume of orders already placed with local and outside business houses for Siberan delivery on opening of navigation. According to E. L. Holt one hundred tons of merchandise destined for Si- beria will arrive on the first boat alone.
 Last year the value of local ship ments to the Siberian coast ran well into the hundreds Of tons and would have been greatly exceeded but for the disarrangement of outside boat sched- ule resulting from the withdrawal Of the steamship Senator from the Nome- Seattle run.
