Hopeful Views

Charles S. Hirsch, of Hirsch, Lilien-
thai & Co., takes a hopeful view of
general conditions. "The reduction,
passing or deferring of dividends by
corporations" he says, (which have
Jared badly during 1920 is certainly no
criterion for future performances. IL
should be remembered that dividend
action to-day is more the result of
what occurred last year than what is
expected to happen during 1922. In
the year 1920, when stock dividends
were very generously declared out Of
surplus accounts, the ensuing Deem
Der market indicated clearly the result
that such dividend declarations had
upon the market prices of securities of
the melon cutting companies. An in
weston who holds the stock of COM
pany which has undergone compulsory
readjustment is not made richer by a
dividend declaration if his comapny is
compelled forthwith to enter the money
market in order to obtain additional
working capital. Marketwise, the stock
is worse off if assets are pledged to
obtain present day banking accommo-
dations than if no dissipation of the
cash account occurred" Mr. Hirsch
holds that restoration of confidence is
fundamental and prerequisite to better
times.

Foreign Oils Break Badly

The eleventh hour injection into the
tariff bill of an import tax of So cents
a barrel on crude oil and rs cents a.
barrel on fuel oil gave the bears in
Mexican Petroleum and the Pan Amer
lcan Petroleum and Transport issues an
other inning yesterday, and they scored
heavily. There was also a large volume
OF selling in General Asphalt, but,
strange to say, Royal Dutch, which
might also be easily affected by tariff
on oil, was scarcely affected The
opening sale in Mexican Petroleum was
at 108, an overnight decline of Az
points. Whatever supporting orders
were placed in the market had little
effect, for by the early afternoon the
break had carried the stock IA points
under par, the lowest price since 1918.
Pan American ga" and "B" both went
to new low levels since their introduc-
ton to trading on the exchange, and
at the close showed respective losses of
AZ and SIS points. General Asphalt,
which has oil properties in Colombia,
sold down to 471a and closed the day
at 50A, off 4 points

Rails Higher
La Irregular
Stock Market
News Believed Imminent of
Acceptance of Wage
Cut; Diverse Influences
cause Complex Trade.

Influences of diverse nature PLAYED
upon security prices yesterday and the
effect was complex. There was no
single trend. Railroad stocks, for ex-
ample, closed higher on the average on
the belief of spectators that the news
was imminent that railroad workers
would accept without interruption OF
work the wage reductions ordered by
the Railroad Labor Board.
On the other hand Mexican Petrole-
UNI and the oil shares were conspicu-
ously weak on the unexpected dragging
of petroleum into the domestic tariff
question. The text of the tariff bill
which is ready for the House, provides
for an impost on the import of OIL add
ing particularly to the burdens Of
Mexican oil, which is already taxed in
Mexico and which is now subject to a
new and burdensome export tax. The
smash in the market value of Mexican
Petroleum unsettled the entire mar
ket and placed heavy strain on the
industrials particularly. The firmness
of the rails, however, tended to Offset
and to minimize this influence.
With the approach of July dis
bursements the banks further con-
served cash and less became available
for loans at call at the Stock Exchange.
The rate continued to rise moderately.
The charge at renewal time was per
cent and this rate persisted all through
the day. A tightening toward the end
of the month was anticipated and was
without significance.
Fundamentally, the credit situation
continues to become easier, as the new
Federal Reserve Bank statements in
dictated. The reserves behind the notes
greatest since the institution was
founded. Both the New York bank and
the system reported further slight i'm
provement for the week.
In the cotton market disappointment
over the failure of the settlement of
the British coal strike to cause sus-
tanned boom led those who had bought
in anticipation to sell out and there
was little disposition on the part of
others to buy until the government
crop report is out to-day. Cotton prices
were steady and ~ to % points lower
at the close. A late rally in the wheat
pit, on the other hand, caused prices
to close "a cent to l cent higher.
With the exchange market again in
fuenced by German reparaton pay
ments, sterling was Is Of cent lower
and the Continental exchanges also
| easier.
There was dullness in the markets
because of the approach of the triple
holiday.

Cuban Telephone Co.
Gross Income Increases

The annual report of the Cuban Tele-
phone Company, made public yester-
day, showed a gross income for 1920
of $2,714,258, compared with S2,28l, 720
the preceding year. After all expenses,
including depreciation, interest on
bonds, etc, there was net operating
income OF S97l,S26, from which divi-
dends and other deductions were made,
leaving final surplus for the year of
$139,275. There was an increase in net
earnings applicable to dividends of
SS9,249.
Property accounts and inventories
were increased by S1,719,175, of which
the principal item was s1,090.l26 de-
voted to enlargement of the plant. The
report showed that on December 81
last there were 33,337 telephones in
the island, which have since been con-
neeted with the United States by three
submarine telephone cables.

More Activity After Holidays

Investment bankers look for better
bond market all around after the holi-
days. The feeling seems to be in the
air that outstanding bonds are sched-
uled to do considerably better this
month. Investment houses reported a
more active inquiry from prospective
investors, who are apparently looking
around for bargains. With better
market in the general run of bonds
heavier offerings of new issues are an
ticipated, for a great deal Of corporate
financing on the cards has been held
up because of recent unsatisfactory
market conditions.

Views on the Import Duty

In view of the fact that the proposed
duty on imports Of crude and fuel oil
has not yet been acted upon by either
the Senate or the House interests
which would be vitality affected by the
tariff as recommended by the House
Ways and Means Committee declined
to discuss openly the new provisions.
The opinion was expressed in some
quarters, however, that neither the
Senate nor the House would pass the
bill in its present form. 1t was pointed
out that the tax, as planned, would be
hard blow to South American pro-
ducers. whose properties cannot be
profitably developed under existing
prices for oil. An impost of 35 cents
barrel, it was thought, would post
pone their development indefinitely. 1t
is expected that before long resolutions
opposing the new tariff will be passed
b. various associations interested in
Mexican oil properties.

Pacific Gas and Electric

A. f. Hockenbeamer, vice president
of the Pacific Gas and Electric Com
pany, states that, notwithstanding a re-
duction of surcharge in electric rates
from Is per cent to 6 per cent, gross
earnings in May showed an increase of
$327,436 and net gain of s134,37l.
Some decreases in sales of electric en-
ergy were more than Offset by the addi-
tion of household and other small units
of consumption. The total number of
customers served by the company up to
May 81 amounted to 57s,397, an in
crease of s,03S in the first ave months
of the calendar year.

Conforming to Expectations

"The market" observes one of the
Streets largest commission houses,
conforms to normal speculative ex-
pectations. 1t usually does when it is
so largely professional as at the mo-
ment. 1t is only when there is public
participation that movements become
exaggerated and contain surprises in
either direction. Later on, within the
next few weeks, we expect public par
ticipation, and at such time it will be
difficult to estimate the size of the
market swing. Hence we anticipate
that before the seasonal rally is com
pleted-some time before August l or
therea bouts--the spectacle of rising
prices will attract to the market suffi-
cient of public participation to carry
stocks to much higher levels on this
minor movement than now seems like
ly or even possible to bears"

Interest Payment Dubtful

Although several announcements have
come through from Mexico City lately
to the effect that the Mexican govern
ment hoped to resume on July inter
est payments on its external obliga-
tions held here and abroad in large
amounts, up to late hour yesterday
local bankers were without definite
knowledge of any plans having been
made to provide the funds needed, and
the belief was expressed that it would
be quite while yet before holders of
the Mexican bonds begin to get inter
est again. To-day was the date set on
which the Mexican City advices indi-
Gated that payments would be resumed.

Steel Wage Cuts

Before the United States Steel
Corporation announces another cut in
prices and wages it is expected that
several Of the independents will put
into effect further reductions, although
no public statement may be made. 1T
was reported yesterday that Bethlehem
and Republic may be the first to act.
The Steel Corporations last wage re-
duction provided for an equitable re-
adjustment" of salaries and it is
understood that these adjustments are
nearing completion. The tendency to-
ward lower price levels is going on all
the time and it is estimated that cur
rent quotations are about IS ton un-
der the average Of April.

Predictions that there would be no

dividends rate were confirmed yester-
day, when the directors announced
that the regular quarterly disburse-

ccmpany's condition accompanied the
dividend announcement, but it was as
serted in financial circles that some
OF the company's divisions, notably the
Buick, are now practically up to the
sales record of this time year ago

cepted at yesterdays meeting. He was

THE THREATENED MARCH TO
MiNGO.
(from the Hampshire Review.)

\
President Frank Keeney, District
IT, United Mine Workers of Amer
lea, says that the reason his union
men cut telephone and telegraph
wires in the upper kanawha and
Cabin Creek fields and modified for
an armed march into Mingo county,
was that somebody circulated false
stories about certain union officials
having been killed in Mingo. He
says it was done to diseredit the
nine workers organization and that
ne is going to investigate to find cut
Who started the false reports.
That is exactly what caused the
mobilization of five thousand armed
miners early in September. 1918.
emily the union officials were sup
posed to have been killed in Logan,
then. instead of in Mingo county
Also when the governor sought to
find out, through an investigation,
who was responsible for circulating
the reports and causing the upris-
ing, the union officials would not
cooperate or shed any light on it,
il they had any light.
We hone Mr.. I<eeney will be able
to find the guilty parties this time
and bring them to justice. for it IS
not of much credit to the state to
have thousands Of miners arm them
selves and start out on such expe.
ditiOns to avenge the supposed muI-
der Of union officials when 20 such
murders have occurred. The State
Of West Virginia has got to get
away from that kind of government
and attempt at government. Sooner
or later there will come a clash
between such an armed expedition
on the one hand and civil or mill,
tary officers on the other, which
will yield such a toll of human lives
IS to stagger The state and the coun-
try.
And this leads to the inquiry;
Why is it that the miners in these
communities are so credulous as to
allow themselves to be deceived by

1e SO long as it is lawful.

be so long as it is lawful
But, as stated, Senator Johnson
may have INDUCED in bit of exag-
geration, as senators sometimes do.
Anyway we do not feel inclined to
accept his statement as the truth
without further verification. The
Mingo district being under martial
law the proper authorities have the
right to take such action as they
may deem necessary in the premis-
es, but the mere agents of coal
company have no right whatever to
interfere with people who may be
coming and going and they should
be permitted to do anything of the
sort.
AS a matter of fact, it is difficult
to get at the real truth of the Mingo
situation because if the misrepre-
sentation that has been INDUCED in
by either one or both sides to the
controversy that has caused all the
trouble. Each side presents the
matter in an entirely different light
and OF course both cannot be right.
anyway 1t must be conceded that
regardless OF which side may come
the nearest to telling the truth there
can be no adequate excuse for the
many acts Of violence which have
been perpetrated in that section.
They should cease and the state
should exercise its authority with a
view to their suppression 1t has a
right not only to do that, but it is
also its duty to put an end to the
reign of lawlessness that has so
long prevailed in the Mingo district
and to see to it that every mine
worker in the district, no matter
whether he belongs to union or
not, is protected from bodily harm
Neither the coal corporations nor
the United Nine Workers have any
right to set thmselves up as the SUI
preme authority in the Mingo re-
gion and should be prevented from
doing so That supreme authority
is vested in the state and the state
should exercise it without fear or
favor.
