Purchases in q. s. Drop

Purchases throughout the United
States this week were i per cent less
than last week, 10 per cent more than
a year ago, but IL less than two years
ago, says the weekly merchandise re-
port issued by the Credit Clearing
House. Indebtedness decreased i per
cent, compared to last week, remained
stationary with a year ago and de-
creased 5.5 per cent from that of 1918.
Payments increased i per cent over
last week, decreased . per cent from
last year and increased AZ per cent
over 1918. The report varies but little
from last week. "The large Cities"
it says, "still report much less activity
than the small towns. Buyers are only
filing in their stocks and many can
cellations of advance orders are being
reported: Prices are holding firm to
slightly lower, and it is not believed by
we'll Informed authorities that there
will be much further drop in apparel
lines; foodstuffs will only come down
as the surplus now in storage is
placed on the market by the forced re-
duction Of loans on warehouse re-
cciptS"

Expected Decline in Coal
Price Fails to Material;1e

Advances of 10 cents a ton on domes-
tic sizes Of anthracite coal became ef-
fective June l in the price schedules
Of several Of the leading companies,
while the others are standing firm on
prices made early in May. The ex-
pected recession in bituminous prices
according to "The Coal Trade Journal" j"
failed to materialize this week, but
wholesalers are still skeptical concern
ing the advisability of trading heavily
at present prices.
The railroad congeston scarcity of
tugs and pier labor and indifference of
miners are keeping The production an
shipping of anthracite coal at low
point. So far as the local supply is
concerned dealers are getting enough
for immediate requirements, but have
nothing left over for delivery for win
ter needs. Export demand for high
grade bituminous coal continues, but
medium and poor grades are not moving

Untitled Steel Orders
Increase $50, 7l9 Tons
Poor Transportation Situation
Is Believed Responsible; War
Time Level
Time Level

Untitled orders of the United States
Steel Corporation for the month end
cd May 81 were 19,947 ,466 tons, an
increase of 5S0,719 tons from the pre-
vious month, when the total was 1O,-
359,747 tons, it. was announced ycster-
day
The increase in ordars brings the
total to the highest figure since July,
1917, when the total amounted to TO-
S44,164 tons, at which time large war
orders were on the books. With the
present orders the corporation is now
booked up until the beginning of next
year Demand for steel is still strong,
it is indicated.
The gain can be attributed in some
degree 20 the transportation situation
and the consequent inability to make
deliveries. However, a great part of
the gain was due to volume OF new
business in excess of actual produc-
ton. Some of the tonnage now under
contract is for distant delivery and
there is still available capacity for sale
tor this year, but this tonnage is not
large.

Cotton Is Weaker
Again Because of
Trade Uneasiness
Early Advances Lost in Re-
actions and Closing Is
at Lowest Prices of Day:
Decline Of ) to 20 Points

Early advances in the cotton market t
we're followed by reactions. While til e
crop is supposed to be improving as a
result of recent favorable weather, the
fear Of another short yield has not vet
been eliminated. On the other hand
the days are passing without any i'm
provement in the goods trade, and
opposing influences seem to be caus-
ing uncertainty and restricting general
business. The comparatively narrow mar
ket resulting, is readily influenced by
small orders. and there was increased
selling late yesterday, ACCOMPANIED by
nmors Of q bearish semi-monthly crop
report from prominent Southern au-
thority. These runners were not con-
frmed, but closing prices were the low
est OF thu d. on most positions, with
the market barely steady at a net de-
cline of 3 to 20 points.
The market opened at an advance of
4points to decline of points. There
was no general demand, but trade in
lerests were again moderate buyers,
while there was scattered covering and
and after some irregularity the active
months sold about 39 to 10 points
above Wednesdays closing figures for
the new crop positions. Notwithstand-
ing reports OF an improved spot de-
mand, July was relatively easy, selling
only IL points net higher, and there
were reiterated reports that low gra !e
cotton was coming here from the South
ior delivery. This may have con-
ributed to the weakness late in the
afternoon, when offerings were larger
although scattered and in hardly suf-
iieient volume to suggest any material
change in the situation.
The days weather news was gener-
ally favorable and the forecasts salts
factory, but while the crop must have
been doing somewhat better, the trade
still expected that the next official
crop report would show the lowest end
June condition on record. The great
est Improvement in condition reported
during the last ten years between the
cad OF May and the enA of June was
% points in 1914 and such an improve
ment this season would mean an end
June condition Of only 67.7 compared
With lowest report for the end of
June previously published. This end
June report will not be published until
1Niy z, however, and there may be a
considerable change of sentiment be-
lore then. Unfavorable news from the
Boston wool sale may have had some
influence in the late trading but the
selling had started before the reports
we're published. Southern spot mar
ae.s we're unchanged to 25 points lower.
Inc local market for spot cotton was
quiet and unchanged at 40c for mid
clhg upland; no sales were reported.

Answer-We regard the $4,000, 900
Central of Georgia per cent notes as
very fair investment. They appear
to be we'll secured by pledge Of Sill
100000 of the company's refunding
and general mortgage bonds. The new
Belgium bonds offer speculative invest
ment opportunities which are perhaps
unusual. This nation, which has the
moral backing of most of the large
countries, appears to be returning to
normal conditions quite rapidly. Her
people are thrifty and energetic. The
bond has speculative feature, as a

and Will the present Mexican situation
have any efct on thm ?--R. j. @.

conditions in Mexico this company
should be able to operate successfully.
Merritt Oil is well managed property,
doing large production business. it
appears to be in a good cash position.
Stocks of this character are very specu-

great amount of liquidation during the
last few weeks they are in better
technical position than for some time
past. We do not advise buying tl.sm
for investment purposes. however.

Answer = The Continental Motors
Corporation has shown increased earn
lngs each year since 1916. The com

with cash and the net assets applicable
TO the common stock amounted to the
