Market News
WEEKLY FINANCIAL

NEW YORK. My 21-Financial markets this week indicated that further important establishments were to be expected in the countrys recovery toward pre-war conditions Developments in the stock market gave evidence that many irregulari- ties which had their origin in in Hated values, over production and abnormally high operating costs were being subjected to more drastic re- vision. Wall street and investors showed they had become more or less inured to reduced or suspended dividends, due to poor earnings and increasing financial needs. Many ad- ditional changes of this character were expected in the third quarter of the year.
 Under the surface. however. there was evidence that Germanys ac- ceptanCe of the separations terms was having its effect This was seen not only in the strength of foreign exchange, but in the lower rates of discount fixed by all the federal re- serve banks.
 The position of the railroads showed some signs Of improvement owing to increased tonnage and pro- posed wage reductions. But these factors were largely counter bal | anced by the attitude of labor organ nations and demand for lower freight rates.
 Commercial loans showed steady contractions from the high peak of January and brokers loans were measurably smaller. Much new ii nancing for don tic and foreign undertakings is contemplated. in cluding a French government loan approximating s100.000. 900, mainly for refunding purposes.
 Gold continued to pour into the country and the total for the first five months promised to exceed s300.- 100000 Imports from Latin Amer ica, where exchange rates have man. | ifested greater weakness. were the direct reflection of demoralized trade | conditions.

z Every State Should Have Whipping
 Post" Says New York Supreme Justice
By R. H. WHITNEY

NEW YORK-What is the cure for crime?
 Lay the last upon the felon's back Administer sharp physical pain. and thereby purge the criminal of his desire for evil deeds. If you do that you will protect innocent cit izenry against the criminals depfe- dations. Every state should have its whipping post"
 Such is the frankly spoken opinion of supreme court Justice Lewis L. Fawcett of Brooklyn.
 His statement has aroused a whirl- wind of comments. How awfNi. says Judge Jean Norris of the wom- ems court Sull it might help she adds.
 We've got beyond the days of brutality. The stocks and the whip ping post belong to the inquisition," says District Attorney Swann.
 Advocacy of the whipping post is discouraging to those who are in- clined to believe the world progresses toward enlightenment, answers George W. Wickersham, former at torney general of the United States.
 Whats Your Opinion? What do YOU think about each state following in the lead of Della ware and instituting a whipping post for wife-beaters, pickpockets and highwaymen2
 If the rod is administered" Judge Fawcett says, the criminal won't forget.
 Men go to Sing Sing and come out time and again with a feeling they have not been punished. but have been given a pleasant asylum. Then they repeat their crimes.
 Tn England in 1913 they restored the whipping post. I have learned that since resuming the lash no man has returned for another beating In our own state of Delaware we still have the whipping post, and as a result there is less crime in Dela- ware than in any other community of it's size in America. Hoboes, wife beaters. pickpockets. burglars, hate Delaware as a result.
 "A burglar whom I know was once lashed in that state. Then he sent word to all his gang not to go to Delaware as the punishment, last ing only a few minutes, was worse than life Imprisonment elsewhere.
 Now, instead of giving fourth offender a life sentence as the law requires me to do, I would recom- mend six months in jail with a lash ing every 30 days.
 At the end of his six months i'm prisonment when he gets the last flashing, he will leave jail, in pain, of course, but cured of a desire to do wrong again.

NEW YORK EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, May 21-Recent div idend omissions and lack of public interest, induced further moderate selling on the stock exchange today.
 With the Chesapeake & Ohio and American Linseed incidents in bears found little trouble in effecting de- clines of to ? points among rails. to 8 points in industrials and as much as to 5 points among vola- tile specialties.
 Covering of contracts eased the tension in the better grades of issues before the close, but the net result was favorable to the aggressive shcrt account. Sales amounted to 30o,- 900 shares
 Trading in bonds was light and the uncertain trend in that quarter re- flected general conditions in the stock list. Liberty issues closed mainly at nominal losses. Total sales, par val ue, aggregated s4.500o0
 The only feature or the clearing house statement was another deficit of s425,000 in actual reserves. fol- l6wing a decrease of slightly more than s4.700.Oo0 in cash. In the loan market, marked disparity was shown between average and actual condi- tions, the former disclosing de- crease of slightly more than s51,- 100000. while the actual item dis closed a gain of s1.650.00o.
 Dealings in foreign exchange were restricted to the leading remittances, sterling bills eased a trifle. but the French, Belgian and Swiss rates were firm. as were also most of the Scan dinavian quotations.
 CHICAGO EXCHANGE
 CHICAGO, May 21-Big upturns in the value of wheat have taken place this week in connection with reports of a precarious outlook for the winter crop. Compared with a week ago. wheat prices this morn ing were to Is cents higher. where as corn was down IS to 2Js cents, and oats off s4 to Is cent. In pro visions the net changes varied from 27 cents decline to 20 cents advance.
 Strength in the wheat market was based largely on advices that the 1921 yield of wheat in Nebraska and the southwest would depend to a large degree to favorable weather during the next week or two. It was also admitted by the majority of traders that the winter crop as a whole had been damaged to a mate rial extent by unreasonable low tenn peratures at critical times and by recent lack of sufficient rain. Meagerness of the visible supply to- tai and of the stock on hand in Chi cago, together with prospective speedy enactment of. the emergency tariff bill. gave additional force to the upward swing of the market, es- pecially as seaboard interests ap- peared to be conspicuous in the buy ing. Forecasts of lower wages for railroad employees had only tem- porary bearish influence.
 Passage of an anti-pit bill through one branch of the Illinois legislature failed likewise to count as de- pressing factor except very briefly. Corn and oats declined result of enlarged rural offerings of corn planting of corn being near com pletion.
