Diversified Farming GaUe
Best Cash Returns in 20

In the price decline of their prod
ucts during the latter half of 1920,
farmers in most of the upper Mis-
sissippi Valley States and in some
Of the States east of Texas suffered
more severely than elsewhere. The
value of all crops of 1920. as de-
termined by the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, is below the
average of 1914-191s by 25 per cent
IN South Dakota, by 23 per cent in
Illinois, by 20 per cent in Nevada,
by 10 per cent in Georgia, by is per
cent in Minnesota, Iowa, and Mon
tana, by II per cent in North Da-
kota, by Is per cent in Indiana, by
. II per cent in Nebraska. by IL per
cent in Louisiana, by 9 per cent in
Mississippi. by per cent in Ohio,
and by per cent in Missouri. Gen
orally speaking, wheat, corn, and
cotton. where predominating crops,
caused the decline in the total
value of all crops
On the other hand. the highest
crop values for 1920 in relation to
the five-year average are found in
California and Oregon. some OF the
Mountain States, all New England,
New York, New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA, North Carolina, and Wisconsin.

considered by bankers and which
upon conclusion will result in fresh
security offerings, but il is felt in
the best informed quarters that
such transactions should be with

being in order to permit proper di-
gestion of issues now outstanding.

been as well distributed as is de-
sired. The Willys Overland Cor
poration, the Goodyear Tire and
Rubber Corporation. the Atlantic

Gus other corporations are endeav-
oring 20 put through financial plans

cial needs, but IL no doubt will be
several days. and possibly weeks,

adopted for carrying out the indi-
vidual programs of these corpora
tions.
Probable Issue for New York City.
As soon as the bond market is in
proper condition for the reception
of big issue of securities, il is
believed that New York City will
put out possibly s50.e00, 200 or s6O.-
100000 of long-term bonds. the
opinion being in banking circles
that the city will take advantage
of whatever substantial betterment
may be recorded to permanently
care for its financial requirements.
II has been some time since the
city has put out ~ issue of long
term bonds, its financial necessities
having been cared for through
short-term borrowing on each oc-
casion when necessity has required
such action. There is a diversity
of opinion as to the probable sue
cess of such an undertaking at this
time, although a little later on IL
is quite possible that the bond mar
ket situation will have improved to
an extent more strikingly favor
able than even the most sanguine
have been inclined TO believe pos
sible recently. A few weeks ago
the city could easily have sold S5o,-
100000 or S75.00O.0o0 of bonds,
bankers contend, because at that
time there was a buoyant market
for municipals' and the supply WAS
inadequate to meet the demand.
Through the continued heavy offer
ings of new issues of bonds however
the market as a whole has become
water-logged..

Cessation of Security Offerings
Providing Price Breathing Spell
Features Past Weeks Bond Trading

Bankers assert that one of the
most favorable elements at the mo-
ment in the bond market has been
the cessation of new security Of
ferings during the past week, add
ing that this will afford a breath
ing spell in which prices for bonds
will have an opportunity to regain
some of the losses sustained in the
past three or four weeks as a re-
suit of overcrowding the market
with multiplicity of new issues.
The improvement which followed
the turn of the new year was in
terpreted by many bankers as in
dicating that there was no limit to
the absorptive power of the coun-
try Tor new investment issues. and
it was not long before large
amounts of bonds were put out by
foreign governments. industrials
ed as IL every investment house In
the country was endeavoring TO
beat the other man in putting out
new issues, and there naturally fol-
lowed stagnation, with a tendency
toward lower quotations. this being
particularly true with respect to
many of the rails, as well as some
of the leading industrial bonds.
Liberty Bonds.
Liberty loan bonds also were
weak, selling down to the loves,
quotations recorded in the present
calendar year. and up to the pres
ent time there has been no indica-
ton OF any change for the better In
this department, although some
bankers profess to believe that
within reasonably short time
there will develop a satisfactory de-
mand for the securities included IN
this group. The situation relative
to foreign government bonds has
been quite the reverse to that gov
erning the Liberty market Most
of the foreign issues have tendec
upward and many gains of fairly
liberal proportions have been
scored. The Japanese government

feature, not only moving up sub
stantially, but maintaining the
gains thus established. United
States OF Mexico bonds also have
held. remarkably firm and there has
taken place a substantial turnover
in this department. Obviously the
invitation extended by the Mexican
government to some of the leading
New York bankers to visit that
country In an effort to iron out
some of the financial difficulties
relative to that country and the
United states, has had a salutory
influence over Mexican securities
marketwise.

Increased Business Due
To Warehouse LICENSING

Officials of wool warehouse and
storage company in Chicago report
that they have received $4,000 con-
signments in I920-just six times as
many as they had in the preced-
ing year. The four warehouses
owned by this concern were the
first wool warehouses licensed un-
der the United States warehouse
act, which is administered by tho
Bureau of Markets. United States
Department of Agriculture, and
company officials say that their in
creased business is largely a result
of this. They feel that the depart
ment's approval establishes busi-
ness confidence. Licensed ware
houses have better standing than
unlicensed ones. are regarded more
highly by bankers and depositors,
and their receipts are good collat-
eral and easily negotiable. Such
warehouses provide safe and suit
able storage places. .-and the grow
ers and depositors are afforded
credit facilities similar to those ex-
tended to other business men. None
of the requirements of the act are
burdensome or difficult to meet.
