Time Money Appears

A small amount Of time money was
reported to have loaned yesterday at
on per cent. Recently some maturing
time loans were renewed, but this is
the first new money that has been put
out for longer than the day-to-d day
period since the spring, although
brokers have been bidding 9M per cent
right along. The mere fact that bank
ers are willing to lend thI'r funds for
Stock Exchange use over periods run
ming from sixty to ninety days was
ticularly as this is the time when
banks are usually conserving their re-
sources for moving the crops. 1t bears
out, however, the recent statements Of
bankers that the worst of the country's 9
credit strain resulting from war-t time
imitation has probably already been
passed.

Improved Traffic Conditions

The efforts of the railroads to carry
q greater amount Of freight with the
equipment available is bearing fruit.
The latest figures, which are for May,
show that the average miles run per car
per day and the net ton miles per car
per day are substantially ahead of the
corresponding month year ago. Among
the railroads which have made note
worthy progress in this respect are the
Chesapeake & Ohio, the Norfolk &
Western, the Great Northern, the
Northern Pacific and the Union Pacific.
The New Haven. however, which runs
through the congested terminal centers
of New England, dropped below it's
record for May of last year Later

Denver dispatches yesterday stated
that large holders of the Midwest Re.
ming Company have exchanged 100 00(
shares OF their personal holdings for
2o'o0o shares OF Standard Oil of indiana
stock IN the ratio of four shares for one
The reason assigned locally for the
exchange is that Midwest Refining will
be able to take advantage of the vide
spread marketing facilities of the
lndlana Company for the distribution
o. us rehned products and leave it
free to go ahead with field deyelonm emf
work. The 100000 shares acquired bv

Bankers More Optimistic

There was more optimistic feeling
the stock market position than has
been in evidence for several weeks.
While it was pointed out that there is
still definite lack of buying power
at present levels the opinion was held
by important bankers that many stocks
are now cheap. "The big question at
the moment" said one banker, "as to
the speculative situation Is whether
the big professional speculative cliques,
so hard hit in the last few days, have
been able finally to put their house in
order" The prediction was made in
some quarters that if the foreign news
continued more reassuring the market
might have fair sized rally.

Commodity Prices Higher

Cotton, wheat and corn sold higher
in the futures market yesterday. a bet
ter sentiment in all of the commodity
markets being felt for the first time in
delivery advanced about $3.50 bale
over the closing price of Monday, while
the other near months were consider
ably stronger yesterday than on the
previous day. The rise in wheat was
attributed to the bearsh government
crop forecast and the belief that Cana
da's crop had been considerably over
estimated. Corn showed a net advance
for the day in spite of the bullish gov
ernment forecast because of a belief
that transportation difficulties would
handicap deliveries.

Aetna Meeting To-day

Directors of the Aetna Explosives
Company are scheduled to meet to-day
to consider further the suggestion of
certain members of the board for dis
tributing some of the cash assets to
shareholders. Strong opposition to this
plan still exists among important stock
holding interests, who believe that the
company should use its surplus re-
sources to develop the Deace-time busi-
ne!s, particularly the manufacture Of
by-products.

American Locomotive

A sign that bull cliques have not
entirely withdrawn from the market
was found in a report yesterday that
the American Locomotive Company
may increase it's dividend rate at an
early date, or else may declare a sub
stantial extra. 1t is these kind of
rumors that are usually circulated by
pool operators when they feel that the
market is in line for an upturn. Most
of the recent rumors have been of a
bearish nature, and now that one more
hopeful has put in an appearance
traders are beginning to wonder if
after all the decline Of tho last few
weeks has not been overdone, at least
for the present. Some brokerage houses
are beginning to talk Of recovery in
business, which the market may soon
begin to discount.

SUGAR AT II CENTS
NOT HELD EXCESSIVE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.--While deny
ing that it had fixed a price Of IL cents
for Louisiana plantation sugar, the De
partment OF Justice informed the
House that prosecutions based upon a
contention that prices lower than II
cents were excessive" under the Lever
law would be Intellectual and unsuccess-
ful.
Il was explained that the Louisiana
crop was only 40 per cent Of normal
and that there was a general shortage
OF sugar in the open market. Mr..
Palmer urged the United States attor-
ney at New Orleans 90 demand that
contracts between sugar dealers for
prices higher than IL cents pound for
yellow clarified and rs cents for plania-
tlon granulaled sugars be abrogated.
lie also instructed the United States
attorney 10 prosecute any dealers who
handled sugar at the higher price.
