While the market for bonds dur
ing the, past week was one of de-
clining prices as a whole throughout
the list, there is a feeling in the
best market circles that within a
reasonably short time, unless there
are further offerings of securities. a
decided turn for the better will take
place, as IL is regarded as a GER
tainty that the present indigestion
OF securities will have been over
come and better demand created
than now obtains. In the face of the
unusually large offerings of securi-
ties that have been made during the
past couple OF weeks ii Is not diffi-
cult to find an explanation for the
downward movement which has been
under way in practically all issues
in the past week. Bond men realize
that a perfectly good, healthy mar
ket can easily be destroyed by too
extensive offerings OF new issues,
and yet, whenever there is any pro-
nounced improvement in the mar
ket there Immediately follows a
concerted movement on the part OF
numerous Of the large houses to
hood the market with unusually
large amounts of bonds, notes, etc
When the new issue of Pennsylvania
Railroad 81 per cent bonds was
heavily Oversubscribed, there was a
feeling in the trade that this might
have a tendency to turn the entire
market for the better and bring
about a reversal of trend in prices.
II subsequently developed, however,
that the Pennsylvania bonds were
not as well distributed as might
have been desired, as within a day
or so after the allotments were made
there was a sharp reaction to
level below the price at which the
issue was placed with the public.
Eventually these bonds unquestion-
ably will experience betterment, but
the opinion at the moment in the
best bond market quarters is that
such a situation will not develop
until after the bonds have become
better distributed!

FIuorspar Production in 1920.

The Bureau of Mines, Department
Of the Interior, has issued a state
ment showing that the fluorspar
shipped from mines in the United
States in 1920 amounted to approx
mately $4,000 short tons, valued at
S4,S5A000. In 1919 shipments
amounted to 13s,2s0 tons, valued at
Ss,525,754. These figures show an
Increase Of "a per cent in quantity
and 29 per cent in value. The peak
production of fluorspar for this
country occurred in 1918, with a
total of 263,s17 tons. The fluctua-
tions in the fluorspar production
are due largely to the changes in
the steel industry which is the dom.

Vice President of the Merchants
Bank, speaking of the recent activi-
ties in selling foreign moneys to in
experienced buyers, said:
Investors in Washington should
be warned against irresponsible
solicitors who are offering to sell
options on foreign moneys. Amy
bank will willingly give informa-
ton which will enable investors to
know the risk they run in making
such purchases. People should be
advised not to buy from solicitors.
but to go TO their banks and inves-
tigate before buying these options.
The foreign department of the
Merchants Bank has received many
inquiries in recent days, which in
dictate unusual activity on the part
of outside solicitors, who are seek
ing to reap a harvest from Wash

foreign money options. Every bank
is familiar with foreign exchange
and should be consulted before any
step is made in matters of this kind" I"

Railroad May Need Money.
According to gossip in financial
circles the Chicago & Northwestern
Railway Company will shortly be
in the market for from $l5!ooe, 900
to S20.0oO,OO0 OF new money for re-
funding purposes, that road having
maturities falling due which will
call for the raising OF a substantial
amount of cash within the next
month or so. Bankers. say they do
not expect much railroad financing
aside from that necessary to pro-
vide funds with which to meet ma

will constitute a considerable total
over a period Of the next Several
months. The railroad situation just

Az President Harding rises and

REPRESENTATIVES OF nations in

three big questions. bound up in

First, WHAT'S to be the policy Of

Cold politics enters there to COM

door policy is a recognized Ameri-
can policy. Others agree In prin-
ciple, but no detailed outline has
been presented It was not prin-
cfoles, but detailed application OF
principles that caused disagreement
at Versailles.
Third-what is to be done about

Russia, what Is meant by that?
while the conference has grown
