London, June ~.
Stock Exchange conditions have not
varied much from those of previous
weeks. There was little doing last week
anywhere apart from the rush for new
capital issues, the trade OF the country
being virtually at a standstill. There is
a great paucity OF business even In the
investment sections which hitherto had
met with fair amount of support.
or course the slump In sterling in
New York has been the outstanding
feature in Lombard street. Many rumors
have been current to account for the
suddenness and severeness OF the slump
including one that the Government was
large buyer Of exchange, some par
ticularly heavy amounts being men
toned.
The maturing obligations Of this coun-
try In the near future are not i'm
portant, although $50 900. 900 of five year
bonds are due November J. but 1t is
impossible to state the amount out
standing. The franc fluctuated in the
usual sympathetic fashion with Ameri-
can exchange. and although showing
some recovery deprecated In value on
the week. German marks remained
comparatively steady
IT is expected that a reduction in
the bank rate will follow the end Of
the coal strike, which at least appears
in sight But It would be unwise to
count upon any great revival of activity
in Capel Court as a result Of such de-
velopments. AS consequence the coal
stoppage must endure for long time
and there are other labor troubles that
need adjusting. though a settlement
would be rendered easier when the
miners and owners come to terms
The temporary setback of British gilt
edges seems to be of little Importance.

the holders are obliged to realize what
they can. and the ready marketability
OF Government loans is really the chief
attra ction to the investor In these diff
cult times. AS expected. the 31k per
cent. conversion loan has not aroused
any great enthusiasm.

cent vagaries of exchange. The roots
evidently lie deeper, and, while they are
not discernible yet they doubtless will
appear later. when the interchange Of
goods increases between the nations
when the vast accumulation OF gold in
the United States finds work in financ-
ing such trade.
The effect OF dividend omissions upon
stocks was clear enoughh. This after
math of depression has been getting on
the nerves of traders for many weeks. to
say nothing of the depressing effect upon
holders OF shares who rely upon divi-
dends for income. The difficult aspect
of the dividend situation lies in the fact
that. while in normal periods OF business
omissions usually reflect past situa-
tion of earnings, at this time they dis
close, also. continuing condition OF in

There is no secret about current bust

DIVIDEND OMISSIONS FELT

In glancing over events of last week
one is certain that extraordinary move

Elected unusual forces at work in read
justment of business and trade. But
that is as far as vision carried. The un-
derlying forces which swung sterling ex-
change downward as much as 7si cents
to the pound in a single day and then
drove the rate forward next day with al
most equal violence could only be con-
jectured.
There was no complete explanation
either for a more pronounced lack of
buying power in stocks than had been
seen in any other week Of the year. The
observer of amazing market movements
was left bewldered over what occurred
from day to day with little energy left
to search for causes.
Considering the exchanges, taking
sterling as the outstanding example, the
generally accepted belief was that trans
actions centred in German reparations
payments was the basic cause OF sharp
and abrupt reactions. The fact that
some s5O,oO0,0 900 has been deposited at
the Reserve Bank by the German Gov
ernment to the account of the Repara-
tions Commission is proof that the con-
version of foreign balances into dollar
balances at New York has had part In
disturbing exchange rates.
But it seems hardly plausible that all
of this sum was transferred from Euro
pean centres in the last three weeks, for
| there is evidence that the Reichsbank
previously commanded sizeable deposits
| in the United States which were availa-
BILE to the German authorities. And
even IL s5O,O0O.00 In sterling, francs or
| other currencies had been converted into
| dollars in this period the great growth
of the international market precludes the
possibility that such an amount could
thoroughly have disorganized exchange
quotations.

This also confirms previous con

ny officials.
However, the new manager. Mr.
Ewing, has done much in a short time
to rc-establish the company in the
good graces of the people generally.
He has proven courteous, considerable
of complaints, and conscious of the
importance of giving service first.
his whole thought today was con

quickly as possible, realizing the in
convenience and expense to which
the industrial consumers were put,
and the inconvenience in the homes

Good Word for MIR. Ewing.
A good word was heard on many
sides today for the new manager.
Among those who spoke for him was
Alderman W. E. Taylor.

flee at Baltimore that he cannot
guard against it. The situation de
veloped that the company does not
possess a necessary tool for making
the required repairs on its own boil
ers, and that there are none of these
tools of the proper size owned in the
city. The city owns such tool for
its own boiler repairs, but of a diff
ferent size.
Trouble Starts.
The trouble started several days
ago, according to Manager Ewing,
when one of the boilers developed
a leaky tube. Inquiry by him for
an expanding" tool, with which to
replace the faulty boiler tube, de-
veloped the fact that the company
owned none. A letter was started to
st. Louis, where the boiler was made,
ordering a tool shipped at once. Yes
terday the second boiler gave way
and had to be shut down, but the
third one was still apparently in good
order and was depended upon to car
ry the load until repairs could be
made on the other two. However,
a gush of water and steam into the
firebox at 1880 this morning an
nounced that the third boiler, also,
had failed and the plant had to be
shut down Immediately. Temporary
repairs were started as soon as pos
sible, and an expanding tool borrow
ed from Macon, which, however, will
not arrive until 1920 tonight.
Il have never experienced any
thing like this before" said Manager
Ewing, "nor have | ever known of a
three-boiler plant going out all at
one time"
City officials and citizens general
ly blame the policy of the head Of
flee of the company at Baltimore
with the predicament in which Man
ager Ewing found himself today. 1t
has long been known that local man
ayers have been prohibited from MAX
ing expenditures except in extreme
cases of necessity to keep either the
ELECTRIC or gas plants in condition to
] give dependable service. Both for
