No Swiss Dollar Loan

Announcement yesterday to the eff
feet that New York bankers were ne
gotiating with the Swiss government
for a new 800 900, ,Oo0-franc loan in this
market were denied in authoritative
quarters. Financial interests close to
the Swiss government said they knew
of no negotiations for loan, and it
was suggested that possibly Switzer-
ton, the bonds Of which might be Of
fared to American investors for sub
scription. This is being done by the
French government in its new internal
loan financing.

Texas & Pacific

Several important disclosures were
brought out at yesterdays special meet
ing of Texas & Pacific Railway stock
holders called to approve the plan for
extending 1858 900 Trans Mississippi
Terminal Company notes for three years
from the date of their maturity on No
vember l. Reports of an impending plan
OF reorganization of the property were
officially denied. The additional in
formation was given in reply to ques-
tons Of stockholders that the increased
earnings estimated as result of the
advance in rates will be about SlO.-
100000, of which about s4,500,0O0 will
be required for the increased wage
scale. It was further estimated that
about one-half of this will be available
for the general purposes of the COM
pany, after allowance for larger oper-
ating expenses due to heavier bust
ness. In other words, if settlement
con be effected with the Missouri Pa
cific covering its claims, it is believed
the Texas & Pacific will be able 10
show full earnings on the second mort
gage income bonds owned by the MOP"
and in addition a fair surplus. The
litigation between the Texas & Pacific
and the Missouri Pacific coYering the
accounts between the two roads is ex-
rected to be argued next month.

In Wall Street
Market Shows Resistance

Many observers thought the stock
market stood up remarkably we'll yes
terday In the face of the array Of bear
ish news. The most unfsvorable devel-
opment with which the market had to
contend was the announcement that
the English railway workers had
threatened a walkout at the end Of the
week in an effort to club the govern
ment into compromising with the strik-
fessional bears a lever to use in de-
pressing prizes. But there were other
adverse influences, not the least i'm
portant of which consisted of vague
rumblings of financial difficulties in
South America. The news tckers pub
lished dispatches suggesting the pos
sible establishment of a moratorium in
Colombia. Attention was also called
to the fact that importations Of Ameri-
can goods into Brazil and Argentina
have practically ceased owing to the
high premium on the American dollar
which makes purchases in this market
almost prohibitive. Despite all this
unfavorable news, stocks at no time ap-
peared to be without support yester-
day and generally offered sturdy resis-
tance to professional bear pressure.
The Brazilian Loan
Reports that New York bankers have
been negotiating for a Brazilian gov
ernment loan are based on a cable from
Rio de Janeiro, which said that Brazil
would borrow $4,000, 900 in this mar
ket. Should this financing come to a
head it would be the first time that
Brazil has offered its government Sc
curities here, all previous financing
having been done in the London mar
ket, where its obligations in normal
times sold on bases ranging from az
to per cent. 1t is believed in banking
quarters here that Brazil is entitled to
high credit standing because OF the great
productive resources of the country
and the stable government which that
country has had. In these circles it
was also stated that loan to Brazil at
this time should greatly enhance Amer
lean trade opportunities in the South
American republic.

Illinois Central Loan

The Illinois Central has been notified
by the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion of the approval Of loan under
section 210 of the transportation act of
upward of $4,000000 for the purpose
of assisting the company in making
equipment purchases aggregating more
than S13,O00,000. 1t was at first thought
that this operation was connected w'th
the plans of bankers for making pub
lie Offering of Illinois Central equip
ment trust certificates, but this was
denied. The bankers plan is expected
to involve an Offering of about $780,
1000 Of the roads certificates.

"When Issued" Contracts

Indications are that the request
sent to members of the Association of
Stock Exchange Firms for their in
dorsement of the plan for providing
adequate protection for open accounts
in contracts affecting "when issued"
securities will be met with practically
unanimous approval. The proposal
drawn up by the executive committee
of the association stipulated that in
when issued" contracts there shall
be constant position cat the market"
maintained between the parties to the
contract in exactly the same way as is
now done in the matter of marking
stocks loaned and borrowed. In re-
spect to borrowed and loaned stocks
the present procedure is in accordance
with a long standing custom on the
part of both sides Of the operation,
there being no provision in the consti-
tuition of the exchange covering this
matter specifically. The committee
ruled that there should be allowed by
the party to the when issued" cos
tract who has received cash deposit
thereon, in connection with placing it
"at the market" interest at the re-
newal rate for call loans posted on the
Stock Exchange daily.

company was to be taken over by the
General Motors Corporation. He said:
"There are no negotiations under way
for the acquisition or merger of the

eral Motors. Our retail sales have
been increasing steadily and we expect

Copper at 151a Cents

The downward price tendency Of
copper contipued yesterday and, ac-
cording to REPORTS in the trade, ship
ments were made at 1512 cents a
pound and the same quotation was
made for export deliveries aside ship.
The significance of the latter develop
ment in the market was that it was
the first time since the spring of 1919
that foreign consumers have been able
to get copper here at anywhere near
SO low figure. Recently most of the
copper bought in Europe from Amer
lean producers has been at prices that
netted around 18 cents, New York.
According to the Engineering and
Mining Journal, cancellations of
orders and demorazide trade condi-
tions have been felt more by produc-
ers during the last week than at any
previous period. This journal ques-
tions whether Is cent copper would
attract any great demand from con-
esumers, but believes that the metal
can hardly go much lower without
being bought UP by speculative inter
ests, which might feel that such cheap
copper is as good to have as cash.

MANY IGNORANT MEN

Chattanooga, Feb. 19.-Gen. John
J. Pershing, here for an inspection of
Fort Oglethorpe, declared at a lun-
cheon given in his honor today that
he was ashamed at the revelations #
illiteracy shown by tests of men call
ed in the selective service, and en-
phasized the duty of Americans tc
support popular education and brinc
the benefits of good schools to every
family. General Pershing said the re-
cord showed that fully 25 per cent of
the men drawn in the draft were
illiterate, a fact, he said which
should cause every American shame.

FEW MORE DAYS OF

With the closing of the hunting

bill to change the season in South

house of representatives and is now
before the senate will have more tE;&-.
u5aal Importance f2r the hua:2,ae::
Of thi; county.
The bill has been favorabiy re-
ceived, and would seem to have 9
good chance to pass the senate -
with the governors signature, Wou.u
become a law. The law at prcsc,,;
prohibits the shooting of quail after
February 18th, but should this bill be
passed Immediately and the COVER
nor's signature thereto attaches. i:
would give the local sportmen anoth,
er few days before the end of the
new season. The bill requires that
Thanksgiving day and closing or
March 18th instead of February 18th
This, of course would give a new
hunting season for quail between the
time the bill became a law and the
bill became law and the 18th OF
March, provided the bill passes.

WILSON PREPARES
REPLY TO ALLIES
Is Sent to State Department for
Study By Folk-President's Posi-
sion Remains Unchanged-2eply
Will Probably Be Sent To
Premiers Friday

Washington, Feb. 19.-President
Wilson today prepared and sent to
the state department reply to the
.entente premiers note on the Adria-
tic question. He is understood to have
restated the position of the American
government with degree of finality.
Although the president dictated his
communication in less than two hours
1T probably will not be put on the
cables before tomorrow night or Sat-
urday. An impression first went OUT
that it might be transmitted tonight. \
The original draft as prepared by
Mr.. Wilson was sent to Acting Sec
retary Polk for his personal study as
he was the head of the American
mission when the Adriatic settlement
of December was reached at Paris
with the consent and approval of the
president and is, therefore, thorough
ily familiar with all the preliminary
negotiations.
After Mr.. Polk has completed his
examination of the document and it
had been put in the usual diplomatic
form, it probably will be returned to
the White House for final approval
before it is dispatched to Ambassa-
dor Davis at London for presenta-
tion to premiers.
The president is understood to
have adhered to the position taken in
his note of February 10 in which he
informed the allies that if they were
to proceed to- settlement of the
Adriatic question without the partici-
patton of the American government
a situation might be created where
the United States might have to con-
slider whether is could become party
to the treaty of Versailles and the
Franco-American pact.
While conciliatory, the premier's
reply to this original note was ar
gumentative. Mr.. Wilson in his an
swer is understood to have answered
this argument point by point and is
believed to have again called atten-
tion to the principle of self deter
mination as enunciated in his IA
points and his. other declarations dur
ing the war which were accepted by
the central powers as the basis for
peace.
Although il makes clear that the
American government has not
changed the position it took when
the original Adriatic agreement was
made at Paris, the presidents note is
not regarded as the final chapter in
the negotiations.

PAUL DESCHANEL
/. MADE PRESIDENT

Paris, Feb. 18.-At the ceremony
through which President Deschanel
was formally invested with his new
Office today there was felicitous ex-
change between him and the retiring
president. M Poincare, greeting his
successor, said the presidency could
not be entrusted to better man
than he who had held such a brilliant
place in the parliament, and who we'll
knew how to fill the role of an impair
tial umpire and an adviser. The new
president, said M. Poincare, would
be able to rely on the cooperation of
all Frenchmen, and he expressed con-
fidence that the striking personal
merits of M. Deschanel and his
ardent patriotism would inspire the
country.
President Deschanel in replying
thanked the retiring president, re-
marking that in order to fulfill his
duty he would have only to follow
the worthy example Of his predeces-
sor, who had represented France
with admirable patriotism during the
tragic times of the last few years. He
added that relying upon the conf
Idence of the two houses of parlia-
ment he would work with all his
heart for the rule of law and glory
of the French republic.

DELAY MAY RESULT

The Hague, Feb. 18.-The activity
of the Dutch cabinet members in con-
$nection with the present league of
nations debate in the Dutch parlia-
ment may delay somewhat Hollands
answer to the second allied note
with regard to the former German
emperor.
The first allied note mentioned only
Wilhelm himself but as the second
note refers to former German royalty
in the plural form, it is considered
probable that Holland may ask guar
antee of the ex-crown prince similar
to those to be demanded for the for
mer emperor.

WAGES AND RATES
- CONTINUE UNDER
NEW RAILROAD BILL

Washington, Feb. 18.-Wages es-
tablished by the railroad administra-
ton during the war would continue
in effect until September 1 under the
railroad re-organizations bill, confer
ence report on which was presented
today in the house and senate.
Under the wage provision, the re-
drafting of which created more sur
prise in congress than any other
change made in compromising the
Esch bill Of the house and the Cum
minis bill of the senate, pay of rail
road workers would be stabilized at
the present levels for six months af-
ter the rail properties are returned to
private control and operation. The
bill as reported today also seeks to
stabilize rates for the same time pro-
viding that prior to September no
rates may be reduced unless approved
of the interstate commerce commits
sion is obtained.
The restriction on wage increased
was looked upon with especial inter
iest by members of congress, railroad
officials and union leaders in view of
the recent demands of the more than
100000 railroad workers for an ad-
vance in pay.> President Wilson in
supporting the contention that no in,
creases could be granted on the eve
of return of the railroads told the
union leaders their demands would be
considered by commission to be
created by law if such a provision
was included in the railroad bill or to
be appointed on his own initiative of
no legal provision were made.
Union Calls Conference
In the belief that a wage commiS-
sion would be empowered to take ur
their demands, the fourteen railroad
union heads have called a conference
to be held beginning Monday to dis
cuss the policy to be adopted in deal
ing with such a commission. To as
certain of the railroad executives
would agree to turning over the wage
controversy to such a commission,
Director General Hines has requested
a committee of railroad officials to
confer with him here tomorrow.

in order to "get up their wind" they
are taking early morning runs and
bicycle rides on the new pavements.
They start about seven o'clock and
make a lively bicycle run as far as
the mile rock.
