day in wheat values here. The close
was firm to enc higher, with Decem-
Der s1.is34 TO $..i37s and May $117%
to $1.l7B. Corn gained % to 1Mc.
Oats finished 4c off to ike advance,
and provisions varied from 1Oc de-
cline to rise of soc.
According TO a recognized authority the

900 900 bushels. compared with 544. 900 600
bushels harvested this year, Lesa favor
able crop reports from Argentina and
Australia counted also n bullish factor
and so. too. did famine advices from Chins
and assertions that grain exports from
Manchuria might be stopped.
Under such circumsta1ces wheat prices
here closed at nearly the top level of thu
day despite the fact that during tbs
carly part of the season the bears werr

was drought news from Oklahoma, Texaf

A message from Dallas said that liver

other reports were received indicating a

China Arranges to Pay
Interest on Bonds TODAY

The Chinese government has taken
$500 .00D loan made 20 it by the Pa
cifc Development Corporation and has
arranged for an extension of the prin-
cjpal for period of three months.
E. 3. Bruce, president of the Pacific
Development Corporation, in q formal
statement issued yesterday said ''The
Chinese government has to-day paid
the interest due Decem Der l on the S.
500 900 loan made 20 it By the Pacific
Development Corporation. and the cor
the principal of the loan by the Chinese
government for period Of three
months from December /, 1921. This
action has been taken at the request
Of the Chinese government, in expec-
tation that the negotiations which are
now pending VIII enable it TO pay the
lean to the Pacific Development Corpo-
ration during the period of the ninety
day extension"
On November ] the Chinese govern
ment defaulted in the payment of
principal and interest or the $1,000
600 loan made by the Continental and
Commercial Trust and Savings Bank
of Chicago, due at that time. Bankers
who were asked yesterday why it was
that China had taken care of the Pa
citic Development Corporation loan
and had defaulted on the November /
maturity, said that the Pacific Devel-
opment Corporation extension was
easily arranged because the Chinese
notes involved IN this loan were all
held by the corporation. whereas in
the case of the Continental and Com
mercial deal the notes are widely
scattered among investors.
Hope was expressed in responsible
banking quarters that an agreeme I
will be re acheG at an early date which
will make possible the refunding Of
both OF these loans.

Speyer and British Repre-
sentative Elected to Inter-
national Committee; Min
ister May Come to N. Y.

Coordination through the 1nterna-
tional Committee of Bankers on Mex
leo Of the efforts Of the various in
ternational banking interests seeking
to reach an agreement with the Mexi-
can government with regard to plans
for taking care Of Meyico's defaulted
external debt was announced yester-
day. AS a result Speyer H. Co. and
HaIlgarten & Co.. Of New York, and
J. Henry Schroeder & Co, Of London,
received representation on the inter
national committee, and in the future
VIII act IN concert with the other mem
bers of the committee
The formal statement announcing
this development said: The Interna-
tionnl Committee Of Bankers on Mex
leo has invited james speyer, Of
Messrs. Speyer d Co., and r. II.
Hutchins jr., Of Hallgarten & Co., to
become members OF the american sec
ton, and these gentlemen have been
duly elected upon the committee. The
the election Of Frank c. Tiarks. OF
, the banking house of J. Henry
Schroeder & Co. Of London. These ad-
ditions to the committee bring about
further community Of interests rep
resenting American and European
holders of Mexican securities"
1t is the view of men in close touch
with the MEXICAN financial situation
I that, although no definite results were
accomplished by the visit Of Thomas
W. Lamont, of J. P. Morgan g. Co., to
Mexico City on behalf of the in.erna-
| tional committee, and of T.. n. Brown,
who represented Speyer & Co., on a
similar mission, the prospects Of an
agreement are still bright It s con-
sidered not improbable that Minister
Of Finance De la Huerta of the Mcxi-
can government may come TO New York
shortly TO resume discussions with the
bankers relative to the debt situation.

LIVES IN MEMORIES oF PAST

Many mean place marks the shrlne or great man; but in Raven na crowds are honoring Dante in city as nearly unique as the singular genius of that poet.
 RaVenna's geographical position once rendered it an "impregnable city or the seal" Its present interest IS associated with the 600th anniVer- sary of the death of Dante, who IS buried there; but it's permanent sig nlticance lies in the fact that It was the death bed of the Roman empire and it's tomb"
 Recall that the Apennines cut across the upper part of the Italian boot from Genoa to Rimini, Just north of Ravenna. There the range turns south, short of the Adriatic Ravenna, therefore, has strategic position in relation to Cisalpine Ciaul, the Italian peninsula and the Aorla- tic.
 This position made the little town, which was Caesars rendezvous for plotting with Roman adherents While he campaigned in Gaul, into the mighty Ravenna, where Honorius first established an imperial resi- dence, Odoacer set up Kingdom, and Theodoric the Ostrogoth established Versailles of the medieaval world. It was virtually inaccessible because it was laid out along canals among marshes.
 Architecturally Ravenna exhibits the threefold influence Of Roman,
