Little Change
In Irregular
Stock Market
Volume Of Transactions Is
Again Light; Rebound
in Commodities Believed
to Have Been Checked

Out of another .cssion of egula
average OF security prices at the close
of trad 'ng Yesterday was little
changed, despite the discovering of
several extrcm. ly vulnerable places in
the speculative list. Again the volume
OF transactions was relatively light.
In the commodity markets, which
have yielded to impulses toward re-
covery in the last ten days, the pen
dulum of prices again swung down
ward. Although the character Of the
news had not changed significantly
traders concluded that the rebound
had gone a: far as fundamental con-
ditions warranted and began once
more to operate for a decline.
lire sular cross currents of specu-
lative energy limited the losses for
the day, yet cotton and grain quota
tions closed lower than on Monday. In
the cotton market, the decline varied
from 35 to az points, and in the grain
exchanges the reaction was much more
severe. L. sses in excess of cents in
wheat prices effaced what had been
gained on the previous day and also
one-third Of the rise established since
the recovery began. Corn quotations
SHRINK between 21A to "a cents a
bushel.
In tie stock market, Texas & Pacific
Coal & OIL was conspicuously strong,
rising GA points. The action of the
stock indicated that those who were
short suffered acutely. The explana-
ton for the rise, which began week
ago, is that the company is making
revaluation of its properties to
settle its liability to the Federal gov
eminent for taxes. 1t was not made
clear just how an inventory would
sensationally enhance the intrinsic
worth of the company
Otsetting this squirt was the action
in the common and preferred stock of
the Willy-Overland Company, which
again slumped in spectacular manner
to the lowest levels of the year. The
persistent decline has led the specula-
tive community to assume that the d-
rectors o. the company will alter their
dividend policy to NIKE it reflect the
depression in the industry. 1t is
understood that the bank loans of the
company have been renewed until
March l.
Cerro de Pasco, United States Food
Products. and American Sugar were
points of weakness also. Toward the
close losses were recovered, but the
close was irregular. The foreign ex-
changes moved ton..d slightly lower
level
Call money lent at per cent all
through the day. The Treasury will
to-day come to the money market in
quest Of the largest loan obtained in
more than year, when it will offer
so0J ,O00,00O of l year certificates of
lncentedness at Ier cent and six
months bills at 5al per cent. This
will have the effect Of increasing the
governments deposits in the banks.

Willys-Overland Weak

A break of 1878 points from the
closing on Monday to the low price Of
&c yesterday in WillysO Overland pre-
ferrcd, a stock that has been under
steady pressure for weeks, was suffi-
cient to start tongues a-wagging in
the Street yesterday. The great depre-
citation in the price of this Z per cent
cumulative preferred gave rise to much
discussion, and one Interpretation
placed upon the sensational movement
in the price was that the directors
might pass the quarterly dividend on
preferred at the next meeting, which
it is expected will be held within tn, :,
next day or two. A director of the
company when asked about the div
idend said yesterday that, although he
did not know what the board would
do at the next meeting, "no one ought
to be surprised if the dividend were
passed" Willys-Overland preferred
sold at % early this year, so that at its
low yesterday it showed loss of 81
points. The common lost II net yes
terday, closing at 57s against a high
for the year of 80.

Texas Pacific Coal and Oil

Reports that negotiations are going
on between the Texas Pacific Coal anc
Oil Company and the Treasury Depart
ment which may result in increasing
ehe valuation of the oil company's
leases by substantial sum served as
the incentive yesterday for an active
buying movement in the stock Open
ing at 31a4, the price had advance ed
by the close of the market session to
4Oh, net gain of 9h points. The
question of a revaluation of the COM
pany's oil lands, it was said, arose
from the efforts Of officials to arrive
at correct application of the Federal
tax laws, as applied to producing oil
properties, so that a valuation could
be arrived at as basis for tax re-
turns. In its 1919 annual report the
company gave the value of its oil and
gas properties as $l4,3S7 $40, subject
to such adjustment as might result
from a physical inventory of the

Leading the Way in Deflation

Students of economic conditions the
world over hold firmly to the belief
that the United States will be one of
the first countries to emerge from the
adjustment. In the first place. funda-
mentals are pointed to as being sound
end the country has political stability,
which Europe lacks. But what is con-
sidered equally important is the fact
that the defation process began here
fully twelve months ago, whereas
many of the European countries only
started to debate few months ago.
England, for example, did not get
under way until last June.

Steel Merger Talk Revived

There has been revival of reports
that the leading independent steel COM
panles may finally come to terms for
combining their interests Merger ne
gotiations were understood to have
been discussed several months ago, but
were said to have been dropped be-
cause of the failure of the parties in
terested to reach an agreement regard
ing the prices at which the various
companies would be taken into a con-
solidation.

Bank Loans Estimated at $40, 900 900

Like all of the motor car companies
the WHY'S Overland has suffered Sc
yerely from the depression in the in
lem, it is said by those conversant
with its affairs, is not so much the
falling off in earnings as its. inability
to liquidate frozen credits. The COM
pany's bank borrowings are estimated
at s2O,OOO,OO0, and according to the
bankers they have been taken care of
until March 1. Between now and then
it is not improbable that some arrange
ment may be worked out whereby the
company will find it possible to refund
these bank loans

Sending Funds to Cuba

The premium on New York funds at
Montreal rose another peg yesterday,
getting above Is per cent. The high
record for the premium was 17h per
cent, made last February. The current
movement against Canada is attributed d
in large meas4re to the heavy ship
ment of funds from New York to Cuba
for the account of Canadian banks
operating branches on the island. The
amount of such shipments has been
exceedingly large in recent weeks.

Goodyear Financing

Plans for the projected Goodyear
Tire and Rubber Company financing,
said few days ago to involve $780,

pletion. The bankers engaged in
working out the problem have as yet
the operation will take, and it was in
timated yesterday that the whole mat
ter might be DELAYED indefinitely.

In Vail Street
A Banker 9 Views

The long range view is hopeful, the
immediate outlook is not cheerful" ;"
A prominent Wall Street banker
summed up the general business stu
alton in this manner yesterday, en-
phasizing the fact that while the stock
market has probably discounted the
worst in the decline that has taken
place during the last twelve months
the mercantile world has much more
to suffer. In fact, the opinion was
expressed that another six months of
painful liquidation is in store for the
general run of business.
New-York tribune., 1920-12-08
United States Food Products

Selling of United States Food Prod
ucts stock in recent days has been
based upon talk of new financing and
an impending change in the dividend
policy of the company. The fact that
the directors have discussed plans for
raising new money to reimburse the
company for capital expenditures is
not denied in authoritative quarters.
An early announcement in this con-
necton is looked for. The next divi-
dend meeting Of the board will take
place next week.

The Business Barometer

On its long-range swings the stock
market is always right in the prophe-
sizes of the future of business and in
dustry, according to leading 1inancier.
On the other hand he insists that the
dayto-day and week-to-week move
ments OF stocks are often wrong and
meaningless. In talking of the pro
phetic qualities Of the market the
banker went on to say yesterday that
in the present instance stocks have dis
counted the worst that can happen to
business.

Ramadan Time Of Trial to Moo-
lems, Who Are Forced to Oaey
Laws Of the Koran.

Ramadan Is a month of trials TO
all classes Of Moslems, especially to
laboriDg men, who are supposed to
go without food drink and tobacco
from sunup to sundOwn.
Turkish restaurants are watched
carefully by Mohammedan policemen,
who are instructed to arrest custom
ers and owners alike If any Of the
followers of Allah violate the laws Of
the Koran. Consequently Christian
restaurants and especially those which
have private rooms, become very popu.
lar with the Mohammedans during the
2S days which are supposed TO be Civ.
en- over to fasting ana prayer.
Big guns are fred in Conslantinop.e
to indicate sundown, and the rush OF
Turks to coffee houses and restaurants
approaches a riot.
During Ramadan the followers of
the great prophet are NOT supposed
to drink water during daylight hours.
Fasting makes the Turks so irritable
and impatient that 1t is extremely Off.
hcult to transact business with them.
Ramadan Is less trying period TO
Turkish men and women who are un-
employed, as they merely sleep
through the day and turn night into
q time Of feasting.

Witness Says There Ws3 No Severe
Shortage But Panic Talk Pushed

Washington, Dec 21-Charges that
government officials Joined in coal
proiiteering during the period OF short
age last summer were made by George
H. Cushing. manag ng director Of the
American Wholesale Coal Association,
testifylng under cath today before a
Senate investigating committee. In
an executive session. the committee,
according 10 Sen. Calder, Republican,
New York, its cha 'rman, was furnish
ed by Mr. Cushing with the name Of
one man, said to have been a princi-
pal in an operation by which a group
OF men in government service obtain
ed 100000 tons Of coal, which they
sold later at profit Of 100000. Rail
road officials and one army officer also
partic pated in the profitmaking, Mr..
Cushing was said by Chairman Calder
TO have charged.
This phase Of Mr.. Cushing's testi-
mony before the committee overshad-
owed the rest Of his statement, which
was to the effect that the coal short
age last summer was due to panic"
and largely caused by statements OF
the Interstate Commerce Commis-

Local Merchant Determined to Offer

The most interesting things in

community life often appear in the adj
vertisements Two days ago Charles
G. Cole, Inc, received an absolute
promise Of a big consignment of
shirts and advertised them at an at
tractive price. Almost over night the
market st ffened and the shirt manu-
facturer broke his contract and failed
to deliver the shirts, as he had promis'
ed Yesterday Mr.. Cole ran another

atom Through an error in the Ban
ner office, however, not only the ex-
planatory advertisement was inserted,
but also the original, adevrts ng the

been kept busy explaining the appar-

Mr.. Cole plans to go to New York
as soon as he can get away after
Christmas and is going to bring home
the biggest bargain in shirts in North
America or any other place where
they wear shirts. That shirt sale is
going 70 take place. 1t will merely be
