The Silver Market

The possibility of commercial bar
silver of foreign origin falling below
so cents an ounce as the result of an
ovcrsupply Of the metal in the pin
cipal markets Of the world is sug-
gested by Samuel Montague e. Co.,
London bullion dealers. Business is
being done on a considerable scale"
the firm says, mostly against opera
tions in China exchange. 1t is not
reasonable to imagine that China is
in actual want of silver. About 10000
900 ounces are now on the way there,
and the stock already at Shanghai is
abnormally heavy. A year or so ago
q scarcity of silver was felt in the IN
terror This state of affairs does not
exist to-day. The relation OF China to
silver is vital to the future OF the
metal. The Indian bazaars have taken
some silver for shipment, but no ab-
sorption of any size by that country
can be expected until the spring, when
is usually made for COM
ing marriage festivities. AS regards
production, the Mexican output would
shrink to some extent
should prices in London fall to the
equivalent OF so cents an ounce. This
does not imply, however, that silver
cannot go below that figure. An un-
wanted article often has to be sacrificed
below cost"
New-York tribune., 1921-01-19
Rally at Close
Features Quiet
Market Session
Dull Trading Represents
Little More Than Re-
suits of Speculative En-.
counters of Professionals

Once more representing little more
than the results Of speculative en-
counters among professional traders,
the stock market yesterday was in
active and dull. A punching of buying
orders toward the close caused a late
rally in quotations, yet the net changes
tor the day, in most instances, were
slight and the trend irregular.
However, security prices did not
yield to the forces making for q re-
action in the manner that commodity
and foreign exchange quotations did.
While the average changes in stock
prices were almost nil, cotton quota
tions dropped II to 40 points lower;
and in market of fast price shifts,
wheat quotations at the close showed
a loss of from ~ to 2A cents a
bushel, and corn revealed correspond
ing recessions.
In the present unusually uncertain
markets, many traders take an op-
portunity to sell out after rallies, and
this contributes to reactionary tend
encies. This is especially true in the
foreign exchange market, where ex-
porters often withhold bills from
sale for long periods in the hope of re-
ceiving nearer par than the quotation
prevailing at the time the document
came into existence. Thus, after every
upward movement there is an increase
OF offerings of bills, which causes re-
cession. Following the sharp upturn on
Monday, the foreign exchanges fell off
a little yesterday. Sterling sight drafts
closed at $3.75, more than one cent
lower, and French francs fell from
$50 cents to 621.
French and Belgian bonds also re-
acted slightly, leading some investment
houses to attribute the DEVELOPMENT
to the uneasiness resulting from the
chanbe in Cabinets in France. Al
though the general trend of bonds was
still upward, the recession in the
European issues was too slight to re-
qulre association with any special facts
in continental politics.
However, international bankers, espe-
clally those interested in Central and
Eastern Europe, are tremendously in
terested in the attitude of the BRAND
Cabinet in the matter of German repair
ations. Under the terms of the peace
treaty the Allies must present Ger
many with bill by May /. Until it
becomes known precisely what Ger
imany's financial obligations to the Al
lies are, there will be much uncertainty
IN European economic affairs. Business
men in Central Europe are holding IN
rians awaiting settlement of the repara-
tlons program, and foreigners, planning
trade and finance relations with Gem
tral Europe, are awaiting the outcome
OF the reparations matter.

G. @. Palmer Heads Food Products

George Quintard Palmer was formal
ly elected president of the United
States Food Products Corporation yes
terday to succeed julius Kessler, who
became chairman of the newly created
office of chairman of the executive
committee. The changes, it was an
nounced, were made at the request of
Mr.. Kessler, who will still give his
entire time to the development of the
company's new lines Of business under
taken since prohibition went into eff
feet. Mr.. Palmer was formerly con-
nected with the Todd Shipyards Cor
poration, the Alberger Pump and Con-
denser Company and other business
enterprises. At yesterdays meeting
Moses Taylor, chairman Of the board
OF the Lackawanna Steel Company, was
elected a director and member Of the
United States Food Products executive
committee. Alvin w. Krech, president
of the Equitable Trust Company, re-
mains as chairman of the board. Food
PROD cts moved up sharply in the late
trading yesterday and by the close had
registered net gain of points. The
buying was said to have been for the
account of interests connected with the

Peoples Gas

Indications are that Peoples Gas will
earn its fixed charges this year, with
fair margin to spare. according to n
terests close to the affairs of the Chi
cago public utility concern. In the first
half of 1920 the company received only
IS cents thousand feet of gas sup
pl ed to consumers. This was increased
temporarily to $1.15 a thousand in the
last half of the year by order of the
public service authorit es, pending de-
cision in the company's plea for higher
rates. Now the application of the com
pany for higher rates has been turned
down, but the $1.15 temporary rate has
been made permanent. Officials of the
company are understood to be we'll
satisfied with the rate fixed. On The
bas S Of the $l15 rate in effect in the
closing half Of last year the company
was able, it is understood, to absorb
the deficit shown in the first six
months.

In Wall Street
Object to Investigation

Wall Street banking institutions will
be represented at the hearing In AL
bany scheduled to-day to determine
whether the Lockwood committee shall
be empowered to widen the scope of
its investigation into conditions in the
building trades so as to take in the
banking end. Bankers object to Mr..
Untermyer's proposal to take up the
financial phase of the matter on the
ground that it will prove extremely
costly to them. An officer in one large
downtown institution said yesterday
that in the case of his bank the ex-
pense of compiling the figures and
data asked. by Mr.. Untermyer in con-
nection with the probe of the banks
would run into Hundreds of thousands
of dollars" and entail almost endless
work. "The banks have nothing to
conceal" said the banker, "and nothing
will be uncovered that is not already
known to the state and national bank
ing examiners"

Politics Delays French Loan

Political unsettlement in France, as
reflected in the recent fall of the
Leygues Cabinet and subsequent de-
velopments, WI likely, in the opinion
of bankers, delay the plans for the
tlotation of the projected dollar loan in
this market. The view of the American
bank ng group that will handle the loan
is that it will be better TO wait until it
is seen whether the new Cabinet is to
stand before going ahead actively with
the negotiations. France is seeking
S1c0,0000O0, and it had been hoped
that arrangements for loan of tn
size could be completed by early Feb
ruary.

Working of Tire Surplus

The only fundamental Improvement
in the tire industry, in the opinion of
the Cleveland Trust Company, is found
ir the fact that surplus stocks. esti-
mated at 10 100000 tires, gradually are
being absorbed as wear and tear on old
tires compel replacements. The year
opened with considerable business
booked for January delivery, but this
has resulted in but slight increase in
operations, as stocks on hand are
adequate to fill current orders. Manu-
facturers confidently expect some i'm
provement in the demand and in pro-
duction schedules in the spring.

General Asphalt

General Asphalt has attained the
reputation Of being the Streets latest
mystery stock. Since introduction to
trading on the Stock Exchange in the
latter part of 1919 the action of the
shares has kept traders guessing, for
when the rest of the market has looked
weak General Asphalt has usually
moved forward, and when the general
list has appeared strong this stock has
showed the effect of profit taking Yes
terday, however, buying orders were in
evidence throughout the entire market
session, and by the close the stock had
moved up 41s points to 6o$4, after
touching 60%, a new high on the cur
rent movement. During the height of
Che 1919 bull market the stock sold as
high as 100 on reports of important
oil developments at the company's Co.
lombian properties. Late last year the
decline carried the price down to 80.
