Kaiser Has Something Left

Altho the Kaiser kicked hard
against paying taxes in Holland, and
is reported to be nearly bankrupt,
the business of ruling by divine right
was so profitable to Wilhelm that he
still has a yearly income of 100000

ID. & II. C.. Stockholders
Committee to Appeal
viii Try to Reverse Sale to
Western Pacific; Ex-Governor
OdeElResigns as Chairman

The stockholders protective COM
mittee of the Denver & Rio Grande
Railroad announced yesterday that an
appeal would be taken from the order
entered in the United States District
Court at Denver, Col, confirming the
sale of the property to the Western Pa
cific. 1t was also announced that ex-
Governor Benjamin B. Odell had re-
signed as chairman of the committee
owing to the pressure of other business.
The grounds upon which the coK..
mittee will try to secure reversal q
the order confirming the sale OF the
road, it was stated, include the follow
ing:
''The entire proceedings we're r.
regular because based upon the orig
the committee claims should be en-
Joined.
THAT the decree enormously cut OIL
for six months the period of redemption
allowed by the statutes Of Colorado
New Mexico and Utah.
THAT the court had no power IN tns
proceedings to sell the franchise OF
the Denver & Rio Grande.
"That the properties were sold foT
$5,ooo,oo0, a figure so grossly inadequa.e
as to shock the conscience; it being
claimed that the equity in the property
sold was at least worth s90,000,O00.
"That the Denver properties were
sold at an upset price of S5,Ooo'oOu:
whereas the treasury assets, incl'loe9
in the sale, consisted of stocks ana
bonds, at clear value on the New iofA
Stock Exchange of over $S,000i00V, so
that the purchasers Immediately re-
ceived net profit of S3.000,0oo on Sas
sale, in addition to the entire equity iS
the railroad, worth SS0,000,0 ,000."

More Failures Shown,
Liabilities Are Smaller
New York and Other Manu-.
featuring Centers Lead I'M
provement Over Last Week

An increase in the number Of com.
mercial failures this week in the
United States compared to last week,
but decrease in average liabilities is
shown in the weekly failure report
issued by the Credit Guide. The num-
Der this week was 30, against PSI last
week, but the average liability this
week was $24,700, whereas the average
was $26,400 last week. Seventy-three
per cent of the failures had liabilities
of less than $4,000 and IA per cent ran
from $4,000 to $4,000. For the cor
responding week year ago there were
1913 failures with average liabilities Of
1000 each.
"The large manufacturing centers,"
says the Credit Guide, "show the most
improved condition from the stand
point of decreasing failures. New
York City this week had thirty seven
failures, against an average of forty
two week for the last two months;
Chicago had nineteen, against an aver
age of twenty three; Boston, fourteen,
against an average Of seventeen; Phil
adelphia, seven, against an average Of
eight and one-half, and Minneapolis
and st. Paul, seven. against an aver
age of eight.
wearing apparel and dry goods fur
nished AZ per cent of the total num-
Der of failures, against IL per cent
week ago and AT per cent in the pre-
vious week. Furniture and housefur-
nishings show an increase, contribv-
ing 1872 per cent Of the total number
this week, against an average of 9la
for the previous two weeks.
r. G. Dun & Co. report 329 failures
this week, against 500 last week and
152 in the like week year ago. Ex-
cept in the West, all sections showed
slight increase over last week. The
ratio of defaults of $4,000 or more TO
the total number this week was 53.8
per cent, compared to 53.4 per cent
last week.
Bradstreet's report 272 failures for
the week ending June II, which con-
pares with 1856 last week, 140 in the
similar week in 1890, ninety-one In 1919,
203 in 1918 and 232 in 1917.

Cuban Situation Critical

Cuba's financial and economic sitn-
alton is described by bankers in touch
with the island as being exceedingly
grave and one calling for immediate
relief in the form of liberal loans to
prevent complete breakdown. So far
as can be learned, however, no con-
certed action is being taken by the
banking interests here, although they
have expressed themselves as stand
ing ready to do what they can to help.
The suggestion has been made that the
Cuban government make an appeal for
a loan of $50,0O0,000 to $75,000,000 to
the United States. Such request was
made several months ago without re-
suit. One way out for Cuba, accord
ing to foreign banking expert, would
be for the island to obtain loan of
the amount mentioned from the
United States. security for which
would be provided for in an American
commission which would have charge
of Cubas finances until the loan
has been paid off. This would
make it possible to establish a sub
stantial gold reserve against new Gu
ban paper money and also permit of
the purchase by the Cuban government
of substantial amount of the
100000 tons of Cuban raw sugar now
ready for sale.

Woman Has Bad Luck Specializing

Question - am the solder of fifty
shares OF General Motor er cent debeu-
ture stock which I bought at SO. Would
you advise to buy some more stock, as
it is now selling at "a, in order to Offset
a part of my loss or do you think this
would be sending good money after bad?
L also a stockholder of the Midvale
Steel Company. Do you think I should
dispose of this stock? Such sale at this
time would be at great sacrifice. the
stock has deprecated in price since
purchased at 4S. I cannot afford to stand
a loss as the above represents practically
all my savings and 1 have no one to de-
pend upon for support but myself.-Mlss
A. NJ.
Answer-The General Motors secur-
ity which you describe is not the per
cent debenture, but the common stock,
and you paid close to the top price for
it. Since then the automobile industry
has suffered severely, and it looks just
now, on account of the widespread
price cutting, as if only the fittest will
survive unless there is a radical i'm
provement soon, In other words, you
did not invest your money, but specu-
lated with it. The same thing applies
to your Midvale Steel. We fear you
are not qualified to speculate, because
you have held on to your stock while it
was shrinking rs per cent in value, and
we cannot attempt to advise you about
the matter.

Stock Prices
Again Drop to
New Low Level
Irregular Recovery in the
Final Hour. Fails to Pre-
vent Net Decline i'm In
dustrials; Selling Heavy

Professional spectators, in quest of
large gains, yesterday continued their
vigorous slamming tactics against
groups of industrial securities, and
despite an irregular recovery in the
last hour the average price of thirty
typical industrial stocks at the close
was the lowest thus far in 1921.
The dynamic character of the fluctu-
etions suggested intensified shcAt SELL
ing and with attention concentrated on
weakness in some groups, short sellers
took advantage of an opportunity TO
cover other commitments. The cover
ang movemsnt, facilitated by specula-
Give buying for the rise by so-called
bargain huaters, who manifest them
selves habitually after q sustained
downward reaction, carried prices
above the low levels for the day to-
ward the close, after Steel common
once more had sunk lower in market
value than it has been at any time
since the war boom started in 1915.
IKE 2ew objective of the seekers after
lower security prices was the equip
ment stocks, and Baldwin was the
prime target.
In the substantial breaks this week
short selling has not been the single
cause. There has been unquestionably
liquidation, too, but not of the excited,
distressed, broad character of the pam
icky days of last December. The
liquidation has been largely by specu-
lative groups who had acquired stocks
earlier in the year in the expectation
of continued recovery.
The rails moved slightly lower. too,
and those desiring lower prices were
aided by the announcement of further
deferment of dividend action by the
directors of the Chesapeak G. Ohio.
The market was unhindered by un-
availability of credit. Call funds were
again lent at 51a per cent all through
the day at the Stock Exchange and as
low as per cent outside. In the in
ternational money market, sterling was
again firmer, and the continental ex-
changes moved slightly higher, too.
Despite this, cotton quotations
dropped to the lowest level of the
wear, because of heavy selling attrib-
uted to crop news from the South and
to reports that the miners strike in
Great Britain would continue. Fears
that hot weather would hurt the wheat
quotations led to frmness in this
market.

Liars and Taxes

Mark Graves, director Of the New
York state Income Tax Bureau, takes
issue with Professor Charles w. Bull
lock, of Harvard University, who has
said that income tax laws are develop
ing nation of liars" II grant there
are liars in New York State" said Mr..
Graves at Buffalo yesterday "and con-
cede that the high rates Of tax on per-
sonal incomes now imposed by the
Federal government do not induce or
encourage truthfulness. Many tax
payers pay more than they should:
This impression is based upon actual
experience. After receiving 745,00o re-
turns in 1920 we proceeded to audit
them and it developed that $4,000 peo
pie had not paid enough. 1t was also
found that $4,000 had paid too much.
If Professor Bullock would limit his
statement to an assertion that some
income taxpayers are liars would
agree with him, but the percentage is
small"

Holds High Grade and Good Bonds

Question-My holdings consist OF the
following bonds. Would you kindly give
me your opinion of same: Kingdom of
Belgium ~ per cent. King dom of Den
mark s per cent, Brazilian government s
per cent, Republic of Chile per cent, Re
public of France per cent. Swift & Co,
z per cent, Monon Route per cent (1966),
Southwestern Bell Telephone per cent,
Pennsylvania Ohio Power and Light per
cent, Oklahoma Gas and Electric s per
cent, United States Rubber per cent.
Denver Gas and Electric 7h per cent,
Duquesne Power and Light IL per cent,
Milwaukee Electric Railway and Light
Company 7h per ceat, Standard Oil of
California per cent Standard Oil of New
York per cent. Mexican Petroleum 8 per
cent?. +. F.
Answer--In general your list is
good one, although the two South
American bonds we would class as
business mans investment, and the
Chicago, Indianapolis & Louisville first
and general 5s, due 1866, as a reason
ably safe railroad bond. The Mexican
Petroleum IS are business mans in
vestment and the Standard Oil of New
York and the Standard Oil of Cali
fornia are high grade, we think. Your
French internal bond is speculative be-
cause it depends on the course of franc
exchange, which is erratic.

statement of total exchanges between
member banks in rouAd number. The
exact figures down to cents are kept
for the associations own records, but
are not made public. This change has
been made, it was explained yesterday
in an effort to prevent the use of the

various parts of the country. Large

the lotteries, the winner being the

Atlantic Gulf Proxies Coming In

Franklin D. Mooney, president of the
Atlantic. Gulf & West Indies Steamship
Lines, said yesterday that the manage
ment has received substantial amount
of proxies in excess of the number re-
quired to secure the ratification at the
special meeting called for June "a of
the proposed plan for financing obli-
cations against the company's tank
ships. Of the $12 100000 owed on the
tankers the plan provides for the ex-
tension of s9900,o00 in the form of
mortgages. The company originally
contraced for the construction of IA
oil carrying ships, comprising total
of $4,000 lightweight tons. The total
cost involved was slightly over $4,000
600, but arrangements were made for
the cancellation of contract covering
the construction of two of the tank
ships.

G. r. O. Again Defers Dividend

Directors Of the Chesapeake & Ohio
again deferred action on the semi-an-
nual dividend of 2 per cent on the pre-,
ferred stock. The board met in May
and announced that action had been
postponed until the trend of condi-
tions had been more clearly demon
strated." Up to last month the regu-
lar per cent annual rate had been
paid regularly since 1917. Following
the announcement of the boards fail
ure to act yesterday the preferred

and closed at 81, with net loss of 2 hs
points. Other rail stocks were also ad-
versely affected by the c. & 0. an
nouncement and the majority showed

Oil Men in Washington

Interest in the Mexican oil situation
was transferred to Washington yester-
day, when it became known that several
leaders of the industry, including W..
C. Teagle and E. L. Doheny, had gone
there, presumably to discuss the new
taxes imposed by Obregon and the stu
alton generally. 1t was stated that an
appointment had been made with Sec
retary of State Hughes for Monday,
but it was the understanding that Mr..
Hughes would meet them as he would
any other group of citizens who were
interested in a specific matter.
