I've TUN
Il ll'Inel' Zone i'm
Stock Market:
Bonds Improve
Foreign Exchanges Recover
With Pronounced Vigor:
Sterling Above $685.
Wheat Prices Rise Sharply

Prices worked higher in dull and
uninteresting market at the Stock Ex-
change yesterday. The main impulse
was impaired by the scattered buying
orders of professional short traders,
and the movement had little more sig
nificance than reflection of changing
technical conditions within the market
itself. OF more Importance was the
much better tone in the investment
bond market, where prime issues rose
in response to a steady flow of buying
orders. q. II n3esTAss
Attention was again attracted to the
foreign exchange market, where quota
tons, reversing the process of the day
before, rebounded with great vigor.
Sterling exchange rates, which were
exceedingly weak on Saturday and
Monday, recovered in striking manner,
demand sterling moving above $685.,
compared with a close of $3.62A the
preceding day. The Continental ex-
changes were also strong.
Shares of oil companies operating
outside of the country were helped
yesterday by Washington reports in
dicating that opposition is growing in
high government circles to the pro-
posal to impose tariff on imports of
oil. Mexican Petroleum, so severely
affected when thefannouncement of the
proposed tariff was first made, jumped
to 1929, but receded from the high
and closed at 99h, up III. General
Asphalt and Atlantic Gulf issues were
also improved.
Exceedingly pcssimistic reports rela-
tive to the Cuban situation led to
renewal of pressure against the sugar
shares and American Sugar fell off
sharply for time, regaining, however,
most of the ground lost before the
close. Important developments are
looked for in the near future which
may involve the floating of large
Cuban loan, enabling the Cuban gov
eminent to purchase a large tonnage
Of raw sugar and remove it from the
market, thus relieving, in measure,
the pressure of the present huge sur
plus supplies.
With the approach Of the middle of
the month, when large United States
government operations will take place,
call money worked into firmer posi-
ton and the rate went to high of
63@ per cent at the exchange in the
afternoon. Government Withdrawals
from local banks on Friday will total
66,0o0o 900, the largest in long time,
and will provide for meeting the New
York districts holdings of Treasury
bills maturing on that date. The ag-
gregate of certificates due in the coun-
try at large is s132,000,00O. No new
issue of certificates is contemplated at
this time, which shows that govern
ment finances are getting into much
stronger position.
The commodity markets were irregu-
lar. Wheat prices shot up in spectacu-
lar fashion on less favorable crop adj
vices, while cotton lost a part of it's
gain Of the last few days.

In Wall Street
Variance. in Marlscs Opinions

AS one walks from one Stock Elk
change house to another in search OF
information concerning the future
course Of security prices he is met
with wide variance Of opinions. One
broker, who is governor Of the. ex-
change and who until about fort
night ago was decidedly bearish, now
believes that the market is in the pre-
paratory stage of substantial rise.
He picks out such stocks as BALDWIN,
international Paper and Studebaker az
likely to have a substantial advance.
In other quarters one hears that the
market may work temporarily higher,
but this will be only because it is get
ting ready for another setback that
will carry the general average to new
low levels for the year. Then there is
the middle ground opinion, which in
clines to the belief that prices will
drift aimlessly for several weeks yet,
or until the time when financial and
business conditions will make it pos
sble to take a definite position on the
market

American Sugar Recedes

The short covering in American
Sugar, which was encouraged Monday
by the placing of a premium of one
half of i per cent on the stock, was not
so much in evidence, although at the
close of the market session the loan
ing rate was still u per cent. After
selling shortly after the opening up TO
697s there was recession to 65ss,
with the closing sale at 66A, net loss
of rs points. a good many traders
are still decidedly bearish on this stock
and do not hesitate to sell it short
every time it moves up much. The
thinness of the market for the stock
when selling orders were placed yes
terday was forcibly demonstrated when
the price broke more than points be-
tween sales.

Notes Come In Slowly

Holders of the United Kingdom of
Great Britain and Ireland 51a per
cent notes maturing in the fall, who
have been given the opportunity of
turning them in for redemption at
the offices of J. P. Morgan & Co. in
advance of the due date, are not avail
ing themselves of the privilege to any
large extent, it was learned yesterday.
The failure Of the holders to turn in
their notes on a large scale is
attributed partly to the fact that many
of them purchased the securities for
short term investment and desire to
carry them to maturity Many holders
who have turned in the notes for
redemption are investing the pro-
ceeds in the United Kingdom netess
of later maturity.

Standard Oil in Alaska

Despite the current overproduction
of oil the Standard Oil companies are
still pursuing their policy of preparing
for possible shortages later on by
seeking out new fields for development.
According to The Oil, Paint and Drug
Reporter, the Standard Oil Company
of California has sent out party
from Nome to Point Barrow, where it
is believed that oil can be found in
large quantities. The party is ex-
pected to arrive at Point Barrow the
latter part of this month and will
probably start drilling Immediately.
should oil be found the company will
face the problem of transportation,
as this point is 45o miles from Fair
banks, which is located on the gov
ernment-owned railroad. 1t may be
found practicable, however, to build a
pipe line between the two towns.

Harvester Financing Denied

Officers Of the International Har-
vester Company were quoted in Chi
cago dispatches to the financial dis
trict yesterday as denying that any
new financing is in contemplation.
VicePresident Legge said: "Such
reports are without foundation, as we
are not likely to experience much
change in monetary sense this year"
George A. Ranney, treasurer, said:
"Rumors in circulation that the In
ternational Harvester Company is con-
templating doing some financing pre-
sumably emanate from spectators on
the Stock Exchange. These rumors
have been industriously circulated for
some months, although they are abso-
lutely untrue and have been repeatedly
denied. Officials of the company do
not contemplate any financing, neither
has such policy been discussed with
the company's bankers"

New York Central improvements

In the New York Central annual re-
port, which was made public yester-
day, extended mention was made of
thirteen important improvements which
were completed in 1920 or are in con-
temptation. Besides these improve
ments, which range from elimination
of grade crossings to the new pas
senger terminal at Cleveland, the COM
pany is making extensive additions to
its equipment. Of the S49,318,O00 of
equipment ordered in 1920 only about
one-third was delivered. The New
York Central is pursuing the same
policy of buying equipment in times Of
depression that it was criticized for
before the United States entered the
war and was highly praised for later.
