Sunday night,
The A-5598 left here shortly after

prevailing northwest wind indicated a
landing somewhere in Canada With

Ninety.six hours after the balloons
departure, when fears were felt for the
safety OF the aeronauts, wireless sta
[ ons and forest rangers in northern
New York and southeastern Canada
were notified to be on the lookout for
the balloon.
A few days later two army airplanes
were sent from Mitchell Field to Al

of the machines met with III shan on

BrENos AIRES. Feb. 21.-More than
twelve million gold pesos is involved in
u reported misunderstanding between
the Argentine and British Governments
over the repayment by Argentina of
80, 100000 American dollars which
Great Britain loaned Argentina to pay
off debt to United States bankers
which matured in May. 1920.
1t has developed there was a clause
in the loan agreement. only recently
published, whereby Argentina was to
repay Great Britain on January IA.
1921, at the rate of Argentine exchange
on New York prevailing that day,
which proved to be 1880. Thus Argen-
tina was required to make an additional
payment of the excess above par-the
equivalent of 12.1SO.00O gold pesos.
The Argentine Government however,
only paid off the loan at par, crediting
the $50,000,000 against the loan for
cereals made to Great Britain by Ar
gentina and has instructed the Lega-
tion at London to take up the matter
directly with the British Treasury. set

tween States and that it would have
been equally unfair in case the ex-
change rate had been unfavorable to
Great Britain.
1t will be pointed out further, it is
said. that Great Britain has paid off
$50, 900, 900 in New York by shipping
gold and that no loss Of exchange for

bulls directing attention to the fact that
the visible supply OF wheat was only
40 per cent OF the average amount.
Closing quotations were steady, with
March Sl.71% to S1.72 and May S1.61A

Sentiment IN favor OF the buying side
manifested itself from the outset in the
wheat market. the smallness Of avail
able supplies giving particular emphasis
to current talk that this was the tradi-
tional yearly time for prices to work
upward Then, too, IN connection with
knowledge that exports to date had been
much more than normal, a good deal of
notice was taken of indications of fur
ther European demand. Tariff develop
ments counted also against the bears,
and so likewise did possibilities that
the acreage sown this spring would be
less than had been looked for. On the
ensuing advance in prices. however, pre-
holiday realizing on the part of holders

about a moderate reaction.
An unexpected falling off in the visl-
bic supply total helped to strengthen
the market for corn and oats. Besides
new exports business in corn was esti-
mated at 100000 bushels.
Scattered selling weakened provisions.
but the market rallied later because Of

Wildcat oil and mining schemes
through which the public in this State
have been swindled for years will get a
severe jolt by the passage of the Hen
derson bill, now scheduled to go
through. which requires all oil and
mining corporations to file with the
State Comptroller a statement of their
earnings and a description of their
properties before they can advertise
their stock.
The ASSEMBLY Codes Committee will
act on this bill tomorrow. Because
of widespread exploitation by fake
promoters the legislative leaders are
giving their support TO the measure
Assemblyman Duke. chairman of the
Codes Committee. said tonight that he
believed the Henderson measure will
prove most effective in exposing blue
sky promoters who float oil and mining
corporations with nothing more than
the money to pay for the advertising
and blue print maps of imaginary prop
critics
''The New York State OIL Producers
Association favors this BILL said AS
semblyman Duke. 80 many people
have been swindled by the blue sky
takers that II is impossible for a legiti-
mate concern to raise any money to
finance its project
This State now has 10000 oil wells.
10000 of which are out In Allegany
county. The majority are paying propo-
sitions but when the owners try TO raise
money to develop their properties they
find it difficult because the takers have
caused investors to distrust anything
that even suggests OF oil stocks We be-
lieve that this bill will drive the swim
dlers to cover by imposing heavy penal
ties for false statements"
Mr.. Duke feels certain that the
measure Will be reported and passed It
imposes fine not exceeding $500 or
Imprisonment of not more than two
years on any officer OF an oil or mining
corporation who makes a false statement
in an application to any Stock Ex-
change to list shares. The penalty for
