Several factors are credited with

= Robert Fl. Manner, Of Hallgarten &
Co, who is one OF the liquidating trus-
Gees of the American Malt and Grain
Company, now in process of liquidation,
said yesterday that If the plants are
figured on their book value the stock
has liquidating value Of s33 share.
"The company" he added, "has $500, 900
cash loaned on cal; at the Stock Ex-
change. When all money is in from
deliveries Of malt the company will
have between sS5e00o and 100000.
After allowing for payment of present
outstanding bonds the company will
have over 100000 and Eve plants zee
and clear. Bids for these plants are
coming in in a satisfactory manner, due
to the fact that the company has @
storage capacity Of over 100000 bush
els of grain, and that any one who buys
them for grain elevator purposes also
has good gamble on the malt end.
The company cannot run at loss be-
cause it is liquidating." In addition to

France Increasea Exnorts

France increased her exports by al
most quarter of billion francs in
January, compared with December, and
decreased her imports by 100000 francs,
according to statistics by the French
Commission in the United States. In
December the adverse balance of trade,
the excess of imports over exports,
was IT per cent, while in January it
was less than per cent. "The signif-
cance of the close approach to an even
balance in French trade during Janu-
sry," says the commission, sis appar-
ent from comparison with the figures
or the years 1913, 1919 and 1920 In
1918 French imports exceeded exports
by 1,487.ooo,ooo francs, or % per cent.
The excess of imports in 1919 was 23,-
910,000,oo0, or about 201 per cent, and
in 1920 it was 12,97o,000 900 francs,
which amounted to So per cent of the
imports. The January exports of
France we're at the rate OF 1852 ,000,-
900 francs annually, total of $50 ,o0o,-
600 francs greater than the amount Of
exports In 1920"

The Wlnslow Bill

Although the news that President
Wilson had signed the Winslow bill did
not reach the financial district until
after the close Of the stock market yes
terday, satisfaction was expressed In
banking, railroad and equipment cir
sles that one of the last acts Of Mr.
Wilson as President was to recognize
the Importance Of this measure. IN
substance the bill means that the
Treasury Department is now required
to pay over to the carriers some $780,
100000 due during the six months
period Of Federal control ended with
last August without waiting for a final
accounting. Railroad men assert that
because of the delay in making these
payments many Of the carriers have
been unable to meet their current
vouchers. Equipment company officials
felt that the signing of the Winslow
bill would encourage the railroads to
enter the market for new cars and To-
comotives.

Price Changes
Are Small i'm
Dull Market
kailying Tendency Of Friday
Carried Further ON Cow
ering of Short Commit
ments; Cotton Is Weak

Beyond indicating q desire on the
part Of the professional traders, who
have recently been selling stocks 70,
the decline, to cover a portion of their
outstanding short commitments, re.
salting in scattered buying orders, the
stock market performance yesterday
was OF little significance. Stocks had
shown rallying tendencies on Friday
and the movement yesterday carried
the list somewhat further ahead, al
though there was no pronounced rise
and the price range at the close showed
some irregularity.
VI more interest, perhaps, than the
suctuations in speculative security
prices was the further fall in cotton
quotations, the market recording new
low prices for the different options and
price of 11.S0c a pound for spot cot
ton. Last July spot cotton sold in this
market at 43&c pound. The present
price is the lowest since November
1915. The action of the cotton market
plainly shows that liquidation in this
quarter has not yet been completed
despite the drastic fall in prices from
the peak Of 1920.
Movements in stock prices in the
two-hour session included higher
range Tor the majority OF steeis despite
the current discussions relative to q
possible reduction in steel prices. In
ternational Paper, in the specially
group, attracted attention by advancing
sharply on active trading. In the rail
way equipment group New York Air
Brake stood out as a weak spot. The
passing of the Vivadou dividend re.
suited in q fractional decline in the
price of that particular issue.
The action Of the market suggested
that the professional bears anticipating
possibly q favorable bank statement
and impressed with the reports of i'm
provement in the local banking position
with regard to liquidation of frozen
credits were intend upon fortifyine
their market position by covering q
part of their short commitments. oh.
servers of market conditions have been
pointing out for several days that
stocks have stood up well in the face
Of heavy outpouring of unfavorable
news in the form Of adverse dividend
action, unsatisfactory earning state
ments and balance sheets and special
weakness Of certain unseasoned stocks
The signing of the Winslow bill by
President Wilson was not market
factor, inasmuch as the news die not
come out until after midday.

Bankers Hold Differing Views

Officials in some Of the large down
town national banks said yesterday
they were undecided what TO do with
the request from Comptroller of the
Currency Williams for the aggregate
officers salaries in national institu-
tions. The vice-president of one OF the
leading banks said he thought nothing
would be gained by trying to evade the
order of the Comptroller, and pointed
out that the information asked was al
ready available through the national
bank examiners. On the other hand,
there were bankers who thought the re-
quest out of order. While no concert
ed action has been taken there to op-
pose complying with the Comptroller's
order, there are some bankers who are
inclined to make an issue on the mat
ter, especially in view Of the fact that
it is expected that the present Comp
troller will no longer be in Office after
the Harding Administration takes the
reins at Washington.

Weeks say; "Endicott johnson earned
in 1920, after taxes and inventory
chsrge-offs, $3,l50,441, equivalent to
$6.43 per share, compared with s4,-
1855 in 1919. In view of the fact
that 1920 was SO disastrous for leather
and shoe companies, this may be con-
sidered remarkable showing. Sales
for the second half year were $780,
$4,000, compared with $3s SIT 900 in
the first six months, q decline Of only
6 per cent, and for the entire year
sales showed an actual increase of 19
per cent over 1919. Net after charges

six months. However, during the final
period Of 1920 the company absorbed

period the Western Pacific interests

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Movements Of foreign exchange rates
en- the principal financial centers Of
the world yesterday represented con-
tinuation of unsettled conditions re-
hected throughout the week Sterling
closed the week at $3.86h, showing an
advance of % cent over the (nal quo
tation Of February 10, but failed to
hold at the high point of the week,
Much Of the unsettlement probably
reflected uneasiness over the outcome
of the reconsideration of the German
reparations indemnity, which begins in
London tomorrow. Although the out
look at present for an amicable agree
ment is not promising, there 'emains
the possibility that the German coun-
ter proposals will be such that they
can find sufficient support to gain adop
ton. Recent advices from London in
dicate that there is little hope of
breaking the deadlock, and exchange
rates during the week gave no evil
dence of an optimistic attitude.
Weakness of exchange on Far East
ern centers continued as result of
the depreciation of silver values and
contraction of export trade.
Movements on South American capi-
tails were unimportant. decline fol-
owing the mid-week rally.
Canadian exchange showed promising
Improvement. however, as the result OF
further indications that maturing Do
Il inion loans here would be taken care

United Cigar Stores

The decrease in the 1920 earnings of
the United Cigar Stores Company is
attributed in part to the opening of
1862 new stores last year, which re-
quired substantial expenditure, and
which will not begin to show full re-
suits until this year. A leading in
terest of the company stated yesterday
that new records for net earnings will
probably be established this year. It
was stated that no new stores will be
