POOR INCOME REPORTS

New York. Feb. 25.-Stocks
closed active and weak at about
the low prices today after q ses-
sion of great nervousness. Report
of the Republic Iron and Steel
Company showing less than $1.50 a
share earned for 1919, although it is
paying dividends at the rate of $6
naturally caused much speculation
regarding what other independents
would show. 1t is known that the
Lackawanna Steel will make a poor
report and Street rumor magnified
everything. On top of this there
was a meeting of the Federal Re
serve Board at Washington which
was followed by announcement that
the Philadelphia and the New York
reserve bank had increased the re-
discount rate on government GER
tificates from AZ to per cent.
Wall Street insisted that this meant
another increase of the commercial
rediscount rate. Call money opened
at Z per cent and went to Is per
cent at the close.
Reduction of the dividends by
several copper companies was in
line with bearish expectations.
In the last few minutes of trad
ing. there were a few hundred
shares of short contracts covered,
but the real speculative operators
were still selling wherever a firm
spot could be found in the market.
These individuals, it will be remem-
bered. covered in the big break two
weeks ago and went long of the
market, believing that the railroads
were in for a big raise. When the
rails failed to make any headway
these traders sold out and are now
going short of the market again.
The public refuses to buy because
il is afraid of another trap like Re-
public Iron. The important peo-
pie have liquidated rather freely
and are in no hurry to buy stocks
at least not until after President
Wilson signs the railroad bill.
Early in the day it was evident
that money would go to higher
rates. for it was difficult to secure
accommodation. The fact that the
first payment Of income taxes is
due on March Is is making the
banks careful about lending out
their money. for they know there
will be a nationwide drain on cash
resources in a week or SO.
Republic Iron and Steel was the
worst performer of the day, break
ing more than Q points from its
close of the previous day and more
than IL points from the high point
of the preceding session. The idea
of stock selling around 80 that is
earning less than II per cent ap-
peals to Wall Street as rather alb
surd, but at the same time traders
are afraid to sell it short. The re-
suit is that liquidation continued
all day, with very little short SELL
ing to help the technical tone of
the stock.

RUSSIAN BONDS REFLECT
BETTER FOREIGN CONDITIONS

When sound investment and Spec
ulative securities were succumbinp
yesterday to the attacks of pro-
1essional bears, Russian government
external bonds suddenly took on
pronounced strength on the Curb.
On transactions involving a par
value Of $4,000 of the Russian 1-2s,
,ney advanced from an opening and
low OF "a 1-2 to 80. The 61-2s solo
s50.ooo from 20 to 80. These are
the bonds that a short while ago
sold around 20.
The strength Of the bonds yes
terday was the direct result of Lon
don advices to the effect that defi-
mite steps toward a settlement of
the Russian problem have been
taken by the entente AT a meeting
Of the council of premiers, through
the sending of q commission to Rus
STA and the encouragement of COM
merce between the Soviet govern
ment and the rest Of Europe.

HALF BILLION IS DUE

Governments.

New York. Feb. 25.-Half q bill.
lion dollars worth Of Anglo-French
bonds maturing here In October will
be paid promptly In good American
dollars. In the opinion Of the finan-
ciers OF this country. according to
William Ewing, head OF the bond
department of J. p. Morgan and
Company.
There is nothing else for the
British and French governments to
do. and there Is no doubt in the
minds OF American financiers of
their ability to do IT," Ewing said
in an interview. with increasing
British and French payments to
this country the trade balance will
be restored and the underlying
cause of deprecated exchange will
be removed"
Two Of the factors which will
tend to stabilize exchange, Ewing
said. are the listing OF foreign in
dustrial bonds in the open market
here and the acceptance by Amer
lean manufacturing concerns of in
dustriaI bonds instead Of gold in
payment Of shipments of goods to
European countries.

years previous to the time that our
participation in the war began to
make itself felt in the credit situa-
tion, show an average gold ratio on

n full year of war conditions had
made themselves felt, stood at only
1I9 per cent Similar figures for June
and on September i, 1919, it had fallen
to 11.4 per cent.
Decreased Gold and Increased Credit
Following the beginning of the war
in Europe, the table shows a steady
and rapid increase in the countrys
gold stocks, due to Europe's expanded
purchases here, for which she could
not wholly pay by her own COM
modities and for which, therefore, she
paid largely in gold while she had the
gold available to send. Up to our
entry into the war. therefore, al
though the volume. of credit materially
increased, nevertheless ii maintained
a fairly steady and thoroughly salts
factory relationship toward the in.
Icreasing gold base.
But on June 80 1913, although the
gold base continued to show some in
crease 1t was at a slower rate. Yet
the expansion in credit showed a pro-
|portionately greater increase, so tnat
the ratio of gold to credit fell Off
sharply. The same tendencies re-
mained operative in the figures for
June, 1919.
"A still more significant change
takes place in the relationship shown
by the figures for September /, 1913.
Here the gold base has been somewhat
undermined by the stoppage of the
flow of gold into the United States
from other countries and by a re-
verse flow of gold out of this countr,
following the removal of our gold ex-
port embargo last June. Neverthe-
less the volume of credit continued
to expand. Thus while the gold base
grew smaller the credit structure
grew greater.

Mason City, Oct. 2O.-Can a girl
who is 20 years old be kidnapped?
This Is the question several Mason
City lawyers are trying to puzzle out.
Alleging that Gus Kambanos kid
mapped her and took her to Waterloo
against her will, Miss Basileke
Konstantilers has f1led Information
against the man. It seems Kambanos
had been sweethearting with Miss
Konstantilers for considerable pc
Rod of time and that their affection
had been mutual. For on Oct. 9 the
girl wanted to replevin some prop
erty, so she went to Kambanos to go
her bond for her.
Chivalrously Kambanos consented.
and started out. He rode Black Hawk
countyward with her and the girl OBJ
jected. No Lochinvar stuff for her.
"Tm taking you to Waterloo to
marry you," he said.
'"All right. TIL 60" the girl, in her
fright, il alleged to have said.
When the pair arrived at Waterloo
Kambanos took the girl to Greek
priests home, where she stayed two
nights. Then he paid her way to
Mason City and came on home alone
In his car.
Miss Konstantilers filed informa-
ton. Kambanos treated her like
gentleman. she says, but he kidnapped
her. She objects to that. A prelim-
mary hearing will be held Friday be.
- -
Now they say Kambanos wants to
marry the girl as much as ever. The
state of her heart has not been as
certained.

dered DR.. Osborne: that In tho trial
there was an utter disregard for
truth and an effort made to besmtrch
somebody's character; that DR.. Hob
son was dear old angel. come In
with white wings to go UP to heaven
for suffering humanity; that the case
was not all a question of money but
the slandering of character. were
some OF the points in the plea Of Mr..
Dunn to the jury.
Reputation is what people generally
say about q man and 1t Is q reflection
OF the inner character of man on
his actions and conduct; that the tes-
timony OF the plaintiff opened with a
fanfare with John Bevans and closed
with q fizzle with ]. J. Sharpe: that
DR.. Osborne had picked DR.. Hobson
with whom to whitewash his reputa-
ton before the citizens of Hampton,
were few Of the remarks Of Gerald
Lening to tho jury.
Bevans. by his own testimony. said
that he ran a sheet which printed
what other papers would not print:
that men and women in penitentiaries
would testify that the reading OF
such sensational and vile stories had
started them on the downward path,
and that John Bevans was the kind
of man DR.. Osborne wanted to vouch
for him, and on whose testimony the
plaintiff wanted to throw out DR..
Hobson; that ]. ]. Sharpe had come
into the court room with his pockets
full of boxes like q schoolboy to prove
these made him remember the date
he was on q train returning from
Cherokee and got stalled in q snow
drift. were some Of the points In Mr..
Kelleher's speech. and he frequently
referred to DR.. Osborne as the Young
Goliath.
Mr.. Mallory said he loved to see
tho seed planted and grow into ripened
grain. that the grain in the ear was
the real Joy, and that DR.. Hobson was
the rtpened ear and that there was
no smut on it either; that when DIR.
Hobson Ia put on the scrapheap II
will be thru service and not persecu-
ton, and that DR.. Hobson was sued
as an atonement and that the COM
munity was sued thru him.
Quoting much from the Scriptures
to drive his points home, Mr.. Senneff
closed for the plaintiff. The fact that
DR.. Osborne, as chief surgeon at the
Lutheran hospital and president OF
the Hampton Savings Bank, belied
the statement that he was not re-
spected in the community. and speaks
greater than tho lip service Of wit
nesses. II DR.. Osborne's reputation
was bad, DIR. Hobson had made 1t so.
In closing Mr.. Sennen quoted the
golden rule as the standard by which
the jury was to decide tho case.
