Vast Issues of Government Issues
Steadily Being absorbed, Says Williams

Permanent investors are steadily
absorbing the vast issues of Liberty
bonds and Victory notes put out
by the government, according to a
statement by John SHELTON Will
Jams, Comptroller of the Currency
made last night. Furthermore, the
percentage of such bonds deposited
as collateral in banks is steadily
being reduced.
On June 80. 1920, the amount OF
Liberty bonds held by all national
banks of the country as collateral
for loans was only s664.043.O0O. This
was a reduction of 1852, geo, as
compared with December 81, 1913.
The total amount of Victory notes
held by national banks as collat-
eral on June 80, 1920, was only
s225. 5.56S,800, reduction of s43,-
100000 during the six months.
THE figures are very gratifying,
said Mr.. Williams, "as illustrating the
enormous capital producing capac-
ity of our people and their power
to absorb securities issued to ex-
tend and promote industry and
commerce"

WHEAT SCORES
SHARP ADVANCE
Futures Hold Most of Eight-P oint
Advance-Other Grains Profit
Accordingly.

Chicago, Oct. 11.-Wheat futures
bulged s to 10 cents and held most
OF the advance to the close of the
session today. Other grains profted
by the strength in wheat-May oats
alone selling as low as at Satur-
days close and that only on a mo-
inentary dip. Provisions were cas-
Ter under dull trade.
Three factors entered into the ad
vance. Two of them were errors
and the third open to question. The
one that had most bearing was the
traders belief that the farmers
holding attitude, especially in the
southwest, would reduce receipts
materially.
Sentiment in corn underwent con-
siderable change, partly in sympa
thy with wheat, but more on the
active shipping demand and the
growing belief that the movement
OF old corn had passed its highest
point. Spot premiums held firm un-

GOVERNMENT PURCHASES
OF LIBERTY BONDS

The Wall Street Journal states
that the recent increase in Liberty
bond prices is due in a large meas
ure to the amount retired by the
Treasury through the sinking fund
in September. The government pur-
chases in that month amounted to
S37.l6O,75O which constitutes over
2Ocs of the turnover of Liberty
bonds on the New York Stock EX-
change in that month. 1t has been
estimated that the Treasury will
retire during the current fiscal year
somewhat in excess of S25O.OOO. 900
of Liberty bonds. This is at the rate
of over $2O.OOO.OOO per month. The
purchases in the early part Of the
year were below this average so
that heavier buying by the govern
ment may be expected in the re-
naming months. These govern
ment purchases, together with the
gradual tendency for easier condi-
tions in the money market, are ex-
peCted to have a good effect upon
the price of Liberty bonds

CUBA'S FINANCES.

The financial condition in Cuba
is being carefully observed by the
United States government, it was
said today, but no action will be
taken in the matter under the
present circumstances. The crash
was not altogether unexpected by
officials, because of the growth of
many unstable banking institutions
and the general financial hysteria
in the island.
Cuba has had too much pros
perity for her own good during the
past two years. said a State De-
partment official, and now. she is
paying the penalty. She has been
on a regular Carouse of prosperity,
with the inevitable results"
