Rorah. are likely 10 lnfiict q good deal
more INJURY on the party than nov. ap-

black lacked candidate Harding into

the League Of Nations the old reactIouary
element Of the party comedies without an
argument.
They are not particularly concerned
over this phase If the radical plans Of
the .Johnson-B -Borah group, however. as
thev are regarding the possibilities Of
trouble to their own program for control
ling both the executive and legislative
branches Of the govern Inent in the event
Of a Republican victory two weeks hence.
They DO not express the slightest doubt
over the election of the Hardlng-C Ooildge

believe it viii slip fast enough to affect
the final result.
SEE TROUBLE BREWING.
But thew have very good reason for
believing that If two or three Of the
pending factIoual rows result Ia the
election Of Senatorial candidates back
OF whom the B6rah-Johnson group
have thrown their full influence, the
next Senate will be almost difficult e

State in Market for Funds

1t was reported in the financial dis
trict yesterday that New York State
was in the market for funds and would
like to borrow about $30,000,000.
Whether it will be able to get loan
at this time bankers said would depend
on how high an interest rate the
authorities at Albany were willing to
pay. Some time ago the Comptroller
went shopping in the financial district
for money and was told that he could
not sell Az per cent bonds at par, be-
Rause Of the current high rate for
money. 1t is believed that the interest
basis would have to be even better
than this for a state issue to compete
with other financing that is being put
out at the present time. In this con-
nection it was announced from Phil
adelphia yesterday that the Common
wealth of Pennsylvania will receive
bids for $18,00O,O0O bonds until June
%. These bonds will bear a Y per cent
interest. The last important financing
done by New York State was in April,
1917, when an issue of $25 100000 of
fifty-year 4 per cent bonds was sold TO
banking syndicate at 104.817 to yield
3.79 per cent.
New-York tribune., 1920-05-11
Explanations

In seeking an explanation for yes
terday afternoons decline in the mar
ket the Street saw as possible reasons
the announcement that there had been
heavy cancellations Of orders in New
England textile centcrs, reports from
Richmond that discrimination against
automobile paper is being urged upon
the banks of that district, and last, but
not least, the suggestion of the House
Ways and Means Committee that the
proposed Federal transfer tax on Sc
curities shall be prolonged for three
instead of two years. 1t was said
that if the bill in its present form can
be pushed through the increased taxes
would be retroactive from December
Although it is not generally believed
that the soldier bonus bill, as now
drafted, will be enacted into law, trad
ers saw in the proposed more oner-
Gus provisions another incentive for
selling stocks, and they were fairly sue
cessful. American Woolen, which
would be directly affected by cancella-
tions in the wooden trade, did not re-
act to the extent that bear operators
had hoped for, and at the closing quo
tation of 1l3l4 still showed a gain of
13s points over Saturdays last sale.
Wire houses reported that the West
was a heavy buyer Of the stock during
the day. 1t was also reported from the
floor that the stock was hard to
borrow

Expect Rails to Do Better

Despite the many difficulties facing
the railroads IN the way of obtaining
funds with which to purchase much
needed equipment, several important
commission houses expected that the
average price of their stocks will work
higher. Some even go so far as to
predict genuine bull market in the
rails. One house says: rails may
hesitate a bit to shake out a public
following. but they are in a genuine
pull market no matter how long they
hesitate, and industrials will advance
in the coming three or four months,
chiefly because of the technical con-
siderations and because of the funGa-
mental strength in the rails
