BOND MARKET Is
EXTREMELY QUIET
Urgent Selling Pressure Re-
moved Since Payment of
Last Federal Tax.

NEW YORK. June 17.-With the
pressure of urgent selling removed
since the last Federal tax payment
date. the bond market has lapsed
into a position of quietude from
which IL is not aroused by the con-
tinuance of heavy liquidation in the
stock market. While this condition
of inactivity prevails the market is
doing better. There Is no tendency
on the part of bonds to advance
rapidly, but the market has dis
tinctly better poise. There was
nothing remarkable about the trad
ing today. For the fourth consecu.
tive day the Liberty issues produced
a fair volume OF transactions with
out moving out of their narrow
trading area. The Fourth AXIS. for
instance, stayed within a range Of
about IL cents during the greater
part of the session. The range in
the avs was l6 cents.
In the foreign group the only
weak spot was the United Kingdom
SIS of the issue due in 1899. They
were in good supply at prices rang
ing down to SIX, compared with
ssh at the close on Thur sday.
Brazilian government S.. on the
other hand. advanced from 81 TO
s7S on a small volume.
Among corporate issues there
were few, features and trading was
on a yhaI scale. Atlantic Coast
Line-L.ouisville and Nashville col
lateral Is reached q slight fraction
following their rise yesterday. This
small reversal was in keeping witt,
the reaction which came into the
market for Louisville stock this
morning in spite Of the plan an
nounced for declaring a stock OWL
dend as a means of distributing ae-
cumulated surplus. Chile copper es

States Rubber SIS declined a half
point to 76L.

American sources. handling over
l27 900. 900 pounds In 1919 and A.
0oo. 900 pounds in 1890.
The chief interest has been in the
changes taking place in the Euro
pean market. Before the war
Switzerland had an excess of ex-
ports over imports of over $1,000
900 pounds, while in 1919 this ex-
cess was reduced to 100000
pounds. Norway's surplus dwindled
from 100000, pounds to 100000
pounds. France, Italy. Belgium
and the Scandinavian countries
were somewhat more than self-sus-
tanning prior to the war, but the
reduction Of dairy animals and the
high price of feed in those coun-
tries brought them into the market
as importers. -
Germany and Poland have come
into the market as importers since
the war. and the former country
more than doubled its purchases of
American condensed milk in 1920,
receiving over 2s,0o0.o00 pounds,
while Poland during the same year
purchased over 100000 pounds.
A study OF the destination OF ex-
ports from the United States of
1s13-1s20 shows the great increases
that have taken place with Cuba,
Panama, China and other countries
in the far east Cuba Is an out
standing market, her consumption
of condensed milk from the United
States having jumped from about
$500. 900 pounds in 1918 to over
50. 000, 900 pounds in 1920. y.
The United Kingdom is a market
of permanent Importance to the in
dustry in the United States and in
1919 about one-haf OF the total
exports went to that country,
though the Noportion taken in 1920
has fallen to one-third of our total
exports. which Is still very large
In comparison with the pre-war
| trade. Beginning early in 1920
there was a marked decrease in ex-
ports and a corresponding increase
in stocks on hand until by the mid
die of the year production began to
slow down and decreased rapidly
until the end of the year.
With the opening of 1921, exports
improved and the surplus began TO
be worked off. Part of this surplus
was due to the fact that consump-
| ton in the United States had de-
creased in 1920 as compared with
1919.
The Importance Of the condensed
milk industry to'the dairy industry
of the United States is largely as a
stabilizer of the market for all
dairy products and IL cannot be con-
sidered as a separate and independ-
ent industry. Condensed milk used
oplv ah0nt II Der cent of the
amount of milk going into butter
cheese and condensed milk in 1919
and 1920. but in view of the fact
that this product can be handled so
easily in storage. II provides form
in which to market the milk sur
plus in periods Of high dairy pro-
duction. which is an item of great
economic Importance In connection
with this food product.
