Dull Trading

Lack of News

Easier Money Rates Fail
to Stimulate Business

Again the vacillations of quotations
on the Stock Exchange indicated that
the market has temporarily divorced
'fsel from ordinary influences in the
outside world, Almost entirely a thing
unto itself, attracting almost exclus
siFety the attention Of professiona al
traders, the market continues dull and
lacking in significance.
Inc marketplace after period will
undoubtedly be jolted back into ac-

development in the news, or relaxa-

CIRCUMSTANCES, may serve to restore
outsiders to the ranks of active trad

ored within narrow boundaries and
represent httle more than the attempt
OF floor traders to stimulate public in

induced by the fall in call money rates
to per cent and favorable develop
ments in the news, such as the passage
IN the House of the Winslow bill, con-
'.'NSN uu&i ing pStt VI yesterday SeS-
sion.
But the market remained thin and
professional, and as soon as the cover
ing movement was completed gains be-
gan to fade away and reactions were
frequent. Call money renewed at z
per cent, the lowest rate since Febwi-
airy l, and funds were lent in the out
side market as low as per cent The
prevalence of high rates last week and
the beginning of this served to attract
funds to New York again and, this
factor, taken in connection with the
dullness of the market, decreasing the
demand, served to make for a relaxa-
tion of rates.
In the foreign exchange market
there was an absence of important
price changes The market was quiet,
with tendency toward easiness, after
the sharp rise in sterling on Tuesday
In the ommodity markets, too there
were only slight net changes. Cotton
quotations dropped from l to points
lower; wheat prices were either un-
changed to Ia points lower, and corn
quotations slumped from a of cent

Automobile Optimists

There are various indications Of i'm
provement in the automotive industry
The Continental Motors Company
which supplies more motors to automo-
bile manufacturers than any other con-
Germ, is in a sense barometer of the
industry, and for this reason letter
sent by G. NJ Yeoman, vice-president
and treasurer Of the company, to S. s
Myers, general counsel of the Motor
and Accessory Manufacturers Associa-
ton, is of more than perfunctory in
terest. "All manufacturers" according
to Mr.. Yeoman, "have turned from
pessimists to optimists. This condition
Is further evidenced by the fact that
we have been compelled to put on near
ly one thousand men in our Detroit
plant, where we build automobile mo
tors only, to meet this months demand
1t is safe tc say that our orders for
delivery in the month of March will
be from 30 to 40 per cent greater than
the February demand"
New-York tribune., 1921-02-10
Exnects Increasing Demand

Continuing the spokesman of the
Continental Motors Company says: eff
any one tells you this is only little
spurt and that the demand will de-
crease, tell them that they are crazy,
It is the writer's belief that the pres
ent demand for automobiles will sted-
lily increase each month up to June /.
Statistics Of this industry will show
that each year the sales slow Up to a
certain extent about June l. This is
caused by the manufacturers introduc-
ing new models at that time of year.
Sixty to ninety days from now the
automobile business, through the posi-
bilities Of houidating large stocks Of
inventory should be in a very advan
tageous position again to esta blish
itself on a cash basis. The sale Of
trucks has not yet started in any vol
ume although we have orders in hand
from about so per cent of our Gus
toners for shipments the latter part
Of February and the months Of March
and April. The automobile is on the
way to several years Of prosperity"

Reports from Cuba indicating that
crop would be handled by selling
agency with government backing tend
ed to cause a firm tone in the local
market and prices advanced sharply,
sales being reported on a basis of 4
cents pound, cost and freight, for
Cubas, an advance of Il cent a pound
or more from the recent low level.
Opinions here and according to private
cables, in Cuba differ on the possible
results if the proposed committee
takes charge. 1t is understood that
General Crowder has approved of the

that as soon as the plan has been off,

an estimated 1920 production of 40,-
100000 tons and actual 1919 produc-

Mr.. Ford and the Money Market

The financial district was greatly
interested yesterday in The Tribune's
interview with Henry Ford, which
marked the end Of a year of silence
for the automobile manufacturer. The
Street. however, disagreed with Mr.
r'ord's belief that he would not have
to come into the investment market in
quest of funds. The belief current was
that within fortnight or month the
Ford Motor Company would seek to
raise funds through the sale of securi-
ties to the public Taxes, maturing
obligations and working capital are the
needs which Wall Street men believe
will attract Mr.. Ford to this money

Sugar Freight Rates Cut

Ofsetting to some extent the ad-
vance in the price of raw sugar is the
reduction IN freight rates. It was.said
yesterday that shipments from Cuba
had been accepted at as low as Is cents
100 pounds, as compared with 38h
cents prevailing up to the end of last
year. Cargoes continue meager, how
ever, and, since they are open to con-
siderable competition, the trade would

aons. @ A decline in soft sugars from
6.75 cents to 6.65 cents a bound was
announced yesterday by Arbuckle

Regular American Sugar Dividend

Maintenance of the regular quarterly
dividend rate of 134 per cent on the
common stock by American Sugar Re-

gether a surprise to those familiar
with the company's dividend policy. To
have omitted distribution at this
time would have broken an interrupted
dividend record since the organization
of the company. Bears have attacked
en- the assumption that the company
has lost heavily because of the de-
moralization in the sugar industry. The

TARIFF BILL GOES 10 SENATE
Chairman Penrose Of Senate Finance
Committee Hopes to Have Bill
Taken Up Soon.

Washington.-The emergency tariff
Bill designed for the relief of the far
mers and to check dumping of foreign
goods, was ordered favorably reported
by the senate finance committee.
The measure approved by the sen.
ate committee differs radically from
that passed by the house, antidump-
ing and currency valuations provisions
having been sharply revised, although
tariff provisions were not changed. A
provision to continue government con.
troll Of dye importations through the
treasury department was added by the
senate committee.
A new feature of the measure is
provision prohibiting foreign exporters
from shipping into American markets
in event Of their refusal to permit ex-
animation of their books by American
agents to determine costs and sales
prices.
Chairman Penrose Of the committee
said he hoped to have the senate take
up the bill soon. After passage by the
senate, the measure must go to confer.

tween the senate and house.

PUREBRED FEMALES FAVORED
In opinion Of Specialists Number Of
Purebreds of Beth Sexes ls Rap
idly Increasing

According to figures announced by
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture, live stock owners in the
United States show a tendency toward
purebred female animals as well as
toward purebred sires. In fact, the
use Of well-bred sires appears to in
crease the use Of good females. Dur
ing the period October l, 1919, to
March 81, 1920, the quality of female
stock kept in herds ahd focks headed
by purebred sires, YVES 48.3 per cent
pgrebred and % per cent scrub. The
remaining number were grades Of
crossbfeds Later figures covering the
period October l, 1919, to December
81, 1920, show that the number Of
purebred females kept under CORE
spending conditions had increased to
$50 per cent and scrubs had fallen
to 81.
These figures are based on knowl-
edge Of the breeding Of nearly 100000
head Of animals and poultry. In the
opinion of department live stock spe-
cialists, the more general use Of pure.
breda of both sexes on farms in the
United States is increasing In about
a year, it appears the increase in the
use OF purebred females by purebred'
sire users has been at least 7 per cent.

FAMOUS OLD CHURCH GONE

Relics That Were Priceless.

St Paul's parish church, in Rock
Greek cemetery, the Oldest church in
Washington and one Of the Oldest in
the United States, was recently de-
stroyed by fire. The interior Of the
building, valuable memorial windows,
old relics and paintings were burned,
and the four walls Of the structure,

Of the historic edifice.
Among the historic relics destroyed
by the fire was large folio Bible,
which was contained in a glass case
near the ehancel. The Bible vas
bought in 1927, 1was used for many
years and was paid for by the con-
gregation with tobacco. With the
Bible, also destroyed, were two large
folio common prayer books, the price
for which, according to records at
the church, was a quantity of to-
baccO which was to bring not less

G.OP. INSURGENT
FLAYS KNOX PEACE
SENATOR NELSON OF MINNESOTA
BREAKS TRACES TO BRAND
SCHEME.
SEN. UNDERWOODS WARMING
Senator Nelson's Opposition Skaters
Stain on Americas Honor, But
Deprlves Y. s. of Rights IN
der Treaty.

Washington.--An informal agree
ment for final vote on the Knox
peace resolution has been reached by
the senate.
The agreement was reached after an
attack on the resolution had been
made by Senator Nelson, republican,
Of Minnesota, followed by Senator I'm
derwood, of Alabama, democratic lead
or, no other senators being ready to
proceed. Senator Underwood and Sen
ator Lodge, republican leader, ar
ranged that absent senators should be
notified of the time for the vote and
the debate ended with adjournment of
the senate.
The first attack came from the re-
publican side, Senator Nelson charac-
terizing the resolution as "unsound,
hating, equivocating and only a par
tial and piecemeal work." His oppisi-
ton shattered hopes Of leaders for
solid republican lineup for adoption.
Senator Underwood assaulted the res
olution as ''inopportune," in view Of
Preparations negotiations, and also as
an abandonment" of the allies. He
declared it would compromise the
honor Of our people" and make the
United States an outsider" in claim
ing the island of zap or other war
settlements
Senator Mcclellan, democrat, Ten
nessee, interiected statement that
the resolution was unprecedented and
that the United States could not re-
serve claims under the treaty Of Yer.
sailles without being party to that
treaty Senator Borah, republican,
Idaho, replied that it was "a good
precedent" to be established.
Eve may not have a right to ex-
pect that the party in power should
ratify the treaty Of Versailles, but
we do have a right to expect the
conclusion Of peace which would be
in accord with the aims of the war"
Senator Underwood said during the
address.
Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia,
interrupted to say that "the present
uncertainty should be ended" and
Senator Underwood replied that adop-
ton of the pending resolution would
not Elk definite status of peace,
as there was no knowledge that
Germany will agree to the provisions
of this resolution" Senator Watson
said the present and preceding admin
istration had taken the position that
the United States was entitled to the
spoils and asked whether the United
States would not be abandoning
American claims by the resolution.
"Unquestionably," Senator Under
wood replied, I'VE abandon our allies,
absolutely and Internationally, and
reach status of peace. BY passage
of this resolution we abandon our
rights as a war associate"

DEVELOP HORSES AND COLTS
Protein Feeds TEND to Produce Muscle
Concentrates Are Necessary
for Work Animals.

For young horses and colts muscle
development is very important. Pro
TEN feeds tend to produce this. SO
do leguminous hays, such as alfalfa,
clover, cowpeas, soy beans and pea
nuts. The following concentrates are
valuable: Wheat bran, cottonseed
meal, rice, bran and shorts. From one
to two pounds of cottonseed meal a
day with the grain have been found to
be very economical and highly desir-
able for horses doing heavy work.
