ment Issues Shown in
the Bond Market; Pub
lie Activity Is Decreasing

In day of intensified dullness yes
terday prices in principal financial mar
kets, though irregular, were firm in
tendency. With public activity in the
speculative exchanges approaching the
vanishing point, the bond market has
become, temporarily, at least, the main
point Of contact with great masses Of
individuals. After hesitating for
few days, after the early July rise, as
q result Of the reinvestment demand
there was renewed interest in invest
ment issues yesterday at slightly higher
prices.
At the posts where stocks are bought
and sold languor prevailed to a greater
extent than on any day since August
1e, 1920. Only 100000 shares passed
from hand to hand, and the restricted
activity represented primarily the
counters of professional spectators.
Although the news contained few
elements which cast new light on
speculative values, two developments
reacted on prices. The rails were firm
all through the day on the belief that
the plan for funding the railroad debt
to the government for capital expend-
itures made during the period of gov
ernment operation was practically
ready. The steering committee Of the
Association Of Railway Executives will
report on the program this afternoon
at meeting at the board room Of the
New York, New Haven & Hartford
Railroad. The removal Of the proposed
impost on oil imports from the Ford
ney bill was the other influence, and
this created better sentiment regarding
the foreign oil issues.
After days Of irregular declines, the
European exchanges yesterday sudden
ly checked further impulses to slump,
and there was a general, moderate
rally. Sterling cables at the close
were quoted at $3.eo%, up 1ss cents.
Continental exchanges were higher,
too. Exchange bankers attributed the
rebound to short covering and to the
meeting of trade needs which were
withheld in anticipation of lower
prices.
Spectators in the cotton market be-
came skeptical about the weather fore
casts, and there was an inclination to
change positions, as reports reached
the market about unexpected and unde-
sirable rain in the Eastern cotton belt
and boil weevil activity in Texas. Quo
tations turned higher, closing at the
top, with gains IL to 21 points. Wheat
quotations fuctuated feverishly, but
closed "a cent to 1h cents bushel
higher.

Railroad Funding Plan Up To-day

The plan which the steering commit
tee of the Association of Railway
Executives has evolved in cooperation
with government officials for funding
the amount spent on capital expendi-
lures during Federal control will be
presented to all the members Of the
association to-day at meeting in the
New Haven board room at the Grand
Central Terminal. It was intimated
yesterday that the full details OF the
plan may be made public after to-days
meeting but this apparently hinges on
its acceptance by the railroad execu-
tives. 1t is believed that the plan will
follow the suggestions made in Wash
ington dispatches the past few days,
which stated that the War Finance Cor
poration will lend it's support to obvi-
ating the necessity of a special appro-
priation by Congress to place the rail
roads in immediate funds.

Reparations Payment Here7

Ihe firmer foreign exchange market
yesterday came as surprise to some
who had regarded Mondays weakness
as evidence that Germany was accumu-
latlng dollar balances with the inten-
ton of paying the next reparations in
stallment in this country. The situa-
ton naturally confirmed the opinion
OF those who took opposing views. One
leading foreign exchange dealer in
close touch with the German situation
expressed the opinion yesterday that
al preparations had been made by
germany for meeting her obligations.
de thought that recent exports would
give Germany large credit balances in
the principal Allied countries, and he
believed that these would be utilized
to large extent in making the pay
ment due August 81. 1t was his opin-
ion that the recent weakness in Euro
pean exchange could be attributed to
demand for dollar exchange in Allied
countries to meet obligations here. He
looked for little unsettlement Of ex-
changes in the forthcoming settlement
unless present plans are changed.

Bad Order Cars Increasing

The latest statistics compiled by the
car service commission of the American
Railway Association showed that the
number of bad order cars in use on
July l stood at 354,611, or 1874 per cent
of the total. On June Is the total was
about 246,000 and on June 1 approxi-
mately $4,000 cars. Some improve
ment, however. is expected to be shown
IN the figures since the first of the
month, as some repair work has been
started in the railroad shops since
the July l wage cut became effec-
tive. The greatest number of bad order
cars are found in the East, as in the
central and Southwest they have been
decreasing, while in the West there has
been neither gain nor a loss.
Contrary to the general discussion of
the probability of the omission of stock
dividend payments by the General
Electric Company, Broadway commits
sion house said yesterday that these
payments would not be eliminated and
that if any change is ordered at the
next meeting of directors it will be in
the form of an increase. In addition
to paying cash dividends of s per cent
year the company has been making
stock distributions equivalent to per
cent annually.

The Railroad Balance Sheet

Ordinarily the relations between cur
rent assets and current liabilities in
a railroad balance sheet are of less
Importance than in an Industrial cor
poration's balance sheet. A large
amount of notes and bills payable is
a danger sign with a railroad, as it is
with an industrial, but inter-railroad
balances which are carried under ac-
counts receivable and accounts pay
able reflect only the volume of bust
ness; Now, however, with the rental
owed by the government unpaid and
with the operating ratios running
around 80, up to "a couple of months
ago, each road is trying to conserve
its own cash and the result is that
balances due for inter-line freight and
passenger business are not being
settled. 1t is curious situation where
perfectly solvent railroads are refusing
to honor drafts against them for inter-
line settlements, and situation which
Will be liquidated when the government
makes its settlements for rentals.

Benefits of Lower EXCHANGE

Lower rates for sterling can be
looked for while British manufac-
surers continue to bid for export bust
ness ness IN competition with Germany. in
the opinion of local foreign exchanea
broker. Higher rates served to cheek
export business, he pointed out, at The
same time increasing the demand for
imports, and this observer believed it
would be to England's advantage to
avoid too rapid recovery in sterling
exchange in the present unsettled trade
conditions. He insisted that Germ %
reported commercial progress was due
IN large measure to low exchange rates
permitting underselling in foreign
markets, and he thought that this ad-
vantage would be maintained so long as
IN Inc recovery OF the mark was gradual.
For this reason he thought Il nnI;ksIv
that the British government was inter,

The Dollar i'm Foreign Exchange

A frmer tone developed in foreign
exchange on European centers after
early weakness yesterday, rejecting,
according to dealers, covering of short
commitments. Some expressed the
opinion that demand for dollar ex-
change abroad had abated for the time
being. Cable rates on London closed
1 Is cents higher at $3.60ss.
A new low rate for Argentine pesos
at 28as cents paper peso was reached
during the day, probably indicating
what had been known by those in close
touch with South America, namely,
that Argentine merchants were meet
ing their obligations here more prompt
ly. Reports from Buenos Ayres show
that liquidation of burdensome sur
plus stocks is increasing and many be-
lieve that the outlook in South Amer
lea, and in Argentina and Uruguay es-
pecially, is improving.
Far Eastern exchange continued
quiet.

were denied, but it has been learned
that the British bank was successful

Mexican Petroleum Rebounds


Elimination of the import duty on
crude and fuel oil by the House caused
some hurried short covering Mexican
Petroleum yesterday, but the greatest
advance was at the opening. The weak
closing on Monday had been attributed
to reports that it had been finally de-
termined to retain the tax after all in
the face Of Presidential opposition
and the bears were heavily short over
night. When they read in the morn
ing newspapers that both crude and
fuel oil had been placed on the free list
their common impulse was to cover at
the opening, the result being an over
night gain of Az points at 1O5h
There was a later recession to 1915

[ rices Rally
On GOVERNS in
Stock Market


Despite considerable irregularity in
the price movement at the Stock Ex-
change yesterday the market under
went moderate Improvement and at the
end of the session. the majority of
issues showed net gains. 1t was a case
of an oversold market position being
corrected by the covering operations
Of professional bears, for the principal
demand for stocks came from this
quarter. Dealings were on about the
same scale as the preceding session.
At the outset the market exhibited
pronounced weakness in spots, par
ticularly in the case of certain of the
industrals which declined sharply the
day before The so-called Doheny
issues we're prominent on the early re-
action and new low prices were estab-
lished. Some of the railway equipment
shares were also notably depressed.
The early selling soon ran its course,
however, and when the pressure lifted
recoveries took place which, in the
afternoon, became rather pronounced
in some of the issues which had been
so weak in the first hour. Mexican
80, rallied in the final hour above SO.
The short covering movement extended
to other parts of the list and the aver
age price of thirty industrial stocks
closed at 6303, compared with 62.73
the day before.
Firmness in the steel shares was
attributed to more hopeful reports of
the state Of that industry. The trade
reviews for the week took note of
revival of demand in the pig iron mar
ket, and 1t is pointed out that the
buying in recent days has been the
heaviest in a year. The better demand
has caused several furnace companies
to mark up prices, the advances rang
ing anywhere from 80 cents to 50 ton.
The situation in finished steel has un-
dergone comparatively little change
and the last week has shown continued
irregularities in prices quoted on such
products.
The course of money rates yester-
Gay was 1nQlCaClVe OF 6OmeWnaC
easier situation at this center. While
the call loan rate at the Stock FIX
change held unchanged, ct per cent,
call money was placed in the outside
market on per cent basis. A sub
stantial amount of time funds were
loaned by the banks for ninety days at
6 per cent. The government is making
a $17,000,0O0 withdrawal from local
banks to-day, making total withdraw
ais for the week s72 100000.
German marks continued to perform
in erratic fashion in the foreign ex-
change market and rallied to 1872
cents, against low the day before
of 1.05. Berlin cables conveyed the
interesting news that the Bourse has
been closed to give brokers chance
to clean up the huge volume of bust
ness that has accumulated as result
of Germany's wild speculative boom.

decided to cut the dividend rather than
omit it, and it may be that ! per cent

Mexican Petroleum Rallies

Publication of figures that the Mexi-
can Petroleum Company earned Sl' a
share on the $45,O00,000 common stock
in the six months ended June 30 last
was followed by hurried short cover
ing movement. which in the morning
had sold down to ss14, or within half
a point of the years low The rally
from that level carried the price at
the close back to 93%, or net gam OF
27s points over Tuesdays last sale. A
statement issued yesterday by the
financial agency of the Mexican gov
eminent in this city asserted that the
actual figures for Mexican oil exports
during July, since the new export tax
went into effect, definitely disprove the
claims of the American oil companies
that the taxes are confscatory. Fig
ures we're presented showing that July
shipments of the Aguila Company and
the Mexican Eagle Oil Company actu-
ally increased in July over those of
June.
