the uncertainty and rather gloomy

theoretically, the issuing companies
could have paid as large cash dividends
upon current amounts Of stock as upon

portance than the decision itself was the
fillip to financial sentiment which the
court ruling provided. And it happened
that 1t came at the moment when in
fiuences of international significance were
getting actively at work. The cables were
bringing news that the supreme council
at London, dealing with after-war re-
habilitation. was devoting serious attention
to united assistance to Germany in get
ting back on her industrial feet. Also the
country was informed by a British gov
ernment spokesman that the Anslo-French
loan. falling due next October, would be
paid off and that preparations were al
ready being forwarded to this end. When

Chicago, March l4.--A warning
was issued to operagoers by Rcg,-
nald de Koven. composer OF "Rip
Van Winklc," shortly before he died
not to expect that the new American
opera will be ineligible In its en-
tircty. The advice OF the noted COM
poser is of peculiar interest just now.
"Don't get the idea that because
an opera Is sung in English you're
going to understand every word of
the text, because you're not" said
Mr.. De Koven. "You'll be lucky il
you get half Of it. Even Italians.
listening to opera in their own Lam
guage, say so per cent Is about all
they can understand OF what Is
sung.
THE pronunciation of words in
singing is necessarily different from
the conversational pronunciation,
and that applies to English as we'll
as French and Italian. But we be-
lieve the English vernacular can be
made to serve the purpose OF opera
as artistically and as satisfactorily
as any language
Mr.. Dc Koven, who made his
world premiere at the Auditorium
here with the presentation Of his
opera rip Van Winkle," predicted
that the native art born just before
the world war, will have a flourish.

High Prices Being Felt.
The effect Of abnormally high prices Is
coming into evidence In some Of ths
primary, markets. The general level Of
commodity prices on March ! was lower
than month ago. single month does
not tell enough to tho basis of calcula-
tions. but the consumers may lind COM
fort IN declines of certain go Ids which
previously had been heading upward In a
persistent fashion. Hides and Gather,
some textiles, number Of foodstuffs and
pig iron are less firm than six weeks ago.
The domestic demand continues on vast
scale and one must needs study the ex-
port situation to find reason for gradual
ly receding prices. Ships sailing to
European ports are reported lightly loaded
and 1t Is expected that the February I'M
port figures will disclose an increased
flow Of foreign products. These items are
suggestive Of stable European exchange
rates, but their effect on profits of
domestic producers 10 hardly open to
