PRINCESS DORA HAD
BEST BR0NCH0 BUSTERS

ROME-Princess Doria, who recently
died In ROME, was an Englishwoman,
Lady Emily Pelham Clinton, and for
many years was known to most prom

When Col. William II. Cody came 10

that she could produce a buttero tcat-

his wild ponies and that she could also
produce a wild horse which his cow

The bronco busters, according to the

Italian horse, and Princess Doria's cat
tie herder rode the American bronco TO
the intense satisfaction Of the great
crowd which saw the performance.

For Washing Hair

II you want to keep your hair In

wash il with
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries
the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and

Simply moisten your hair with

spoonfuls will make an abundance Of

hair and scalp thoroughly. The

strong and active demand for goods
 that has been characteristic of con-.
 ditions for some months past. No indications of serious surplus of pro-
 duction in any important line or of
 refusal on the part of the community
 to buy are observable and, on the
 other hand there is no condition of
 unemployment, while many factories
 are booked far ahead, some of them
 into next calendar year. Good earn
 ings are being reported by most
 corporations and some of them are
 making record returns All this
 ought to make for prosperous condi-
 tions on the securities markets, and
 would do so were it not for the
 money and credit situation which has
 developed. In export trade, the latest
 returns show a considerable falling
 off both of exports and imports for
 the month of April, but the decline
 of exports is the more noticeable. , This represents, however, conditions which appeared some months ago and were then unofficial1y taken account of. The figures of the Governent on our foreign trade are now about three months behind time in the facts they represent. Partly as consequence of the shortening of our export trade balance and partly as a result of the more hopeful out look expected with regard to the set clement or adjustment of the Ger man indemnity the foreign exchanges have held their own remarkably
 we'll despite the depression in stocks and bonds. Sterling has maintained a. high stable course throughout the week with little tendency toward lower levels, while francs and lire have, during most of the time, ad- | vanced notably, the result being to | bring them to a much better general
 position at the close of the perrod. Market Review and Outlook. The early part of the week was chara cterized by a condition of gen era1 deadnes ess, the level of busin ess reaching the lowest figures since about fifteen months ago. After the financial conference at Washington with it's discouraging outcome from the investment standpoint, however, there was reaction to much larger volume of business as an incident of the liquidation and depression of the period, accompanied with reductions of considerable amount in the quota tion of most industrials. Railroad stocks, of course, suffered sympath- etica1ly, SO that there was a general 1iquidat ton and shrinkage of values The situation has naturally caused
 much anxiety as to the course of the stock market in the early future- It would seem that the curtailnnent of credits in commercial fields would eventually release sums of money which in turn should make it easier to negotiate collateral loans. Never the1ess it goes without saying that no great business disturbance can take place without having a disquieting effect on the security markets. If it were not for the fact that the stock market has already been under
 heavy liquidation it's position at the
 present time would be very precar- ious- It is becoming more evident day by day that something extraor-
 dinary will have to take place if there is to be any increase in the purchasing power and without this 1t
 is unnecessary to point out that the
 chance of prices advancing material ly is slim.

HENRY CLEWS'
 WEEKLY LETTER

Conferences the part of the premiers of Allied countries at Hythe England, have furnished the out standing event of international im- portance from an economic and if nancial standpoint during the past week. The outcome of the confer ence has of, course, not as yet been officially reported but there is little doubt regarding it's terms. It pro- vides for a definite indemnity pay ment by Germany to the Allies, such payment running probably to some $50, 900, 100000, although the amount is still, it would seem, not finally settled. Since the payment can be only partly made in comm odities for the present, and since gold is out of the question, the real liquidation of the obligation must be affected in new bonds, at least to a considerable extent. That such bonds can be sold to the United States or to it's in vestors and. perhaps, also to in vestors in other parts of the world, thereby enabling France and possibly other countries to settle their obliga- tions growing out of the war, is evidently the view which obtains in many quarters but which may well be questioned by those who are con- verSant with current trends in American sentiment. The adjust ment of the treaty relations of the United States to foreign countries seems still as far away as ever not withstanding the fact that the Knox resolution declaring the existence of a state of peace has evidently a fair prospect of early enactment. In- cidental to the discussion of foreign financial affairs during the week has been the statement of MT. H. P. Davison concerning the condition of things in Central Europe coupled with a recommendation that Con gress should appropriate some $500 000,0O0 for relief. The attitude of members of Congress, as since de- veloped, has been unmistakably ad- verse to any such suggestion How ever, the outcome at Hythe and the fact that there are influential in- terests at work toward the securin g of additional American funds for European use has had it's psycho1ogi- cal effect on the quotations of foreign securities of various kinds.
 Financial Conference at Washington Domesucally, the most significant t new development has undoubtedly been the holding of an important f. nancia1 conference at WaShin gton in which the Federal Reserve Board, the Federal Advisory Council and the Class A directors of Federal Reserve banks jointly participated. In this conference the general question of credit and the problem of rates were given direct attention, and while there was no indication of an innme- diate advance in the charge for re- discounts at Federal Reserve banks the discussion undoubtedly pointed in that direction. Perhaps more inn portant still was the fact that the conference favored what amounts to kind of rationing which involves the curtai1ment of loans based on or protected by unessential commodities as well as the shortening of loans made for the purpose of carrying on ''hoardfng'' commodities-a prac-
