Country Fair
WILDE Backed
By 19 Centers

The Washington Community
Center department under the
leadership of Miss Cecil B. Nor
ton will be one of the big fac
tors that will assure the success
of the First American Boys
County Fair.
Following several conferences
between Judge willis Brown and
officials of the Community Gen.
ter department it has been de-
cided to have each Of the nine
teen community centers estab-
lished as headquarters for the
First American Boys" County
Fair. All that will be necessary
when plans have been finally
worked out by the officials and
Judge Brown, will be to regis
ter your name and entry with
any secretary of the, Community
Center department.
Dogs Have Big Entry.
The event will be one of the
biggest affairs ever held by boys
and for boys. There will be hun
dreds and hundreds of boys who
will exhibit their achievements.
Exhibits will vary. but it is a
we'll known fact that the most
numerous will be the dog ex-
hibits. II all the dogs that have
been entered show up the fair
will look like a dog show. AMI
mails OF all sorts will be shown
and that class will probably.
be the most bitterly contested.
Boy inventors will have their
chance to show their wares and
proud fathers will watch.
There will be nearly two thou
sand boys who will contest for
prizes. Several boys will ar
rive in town for the event from
other cities and States to repre-
sent their organizations. From
advance notices it is assured
that a large number of boys will
come from neighboring States
especially with farm life ami
mails. Here is where a surprise
will be received. There are sew
raj boys who live in the city
who have raised farm animals
and it will be an interesting con-
test.

Curtailment Of Credits

Discussing the credit situation. the
Mechanics and Metals National Bank
says in its December review: $50 far
as the CurtaiIment of credits in the
present period of dcllation is concerned
it cannot be Suid that lower discount
rates Mt New York reflect. an orderly
and even Curtailment in air sections Of
the country. They do reflect for c"r-

West and South it IS true that dctlatiOn
Of prices has proceeded very far, but
dcfation of debts has not kept pace
with that Of prices. Hence II large
amount of what is termed frozen credit
still stands on the books of the interior
banks, and the process of detintion has
seemingly struck hardest here, inasmuCh
as those efforts which have been made
to bring about credit restrictions have
contributed to force prices downward,
so that fresh amounts of frozen credit
have been created. At current market
prices many OF the agricultural pro.

from the West, will hardly break even

New York City Bond Issue

More than passing interest Is shown
in tho probability that New York City
is 10 enter the market for large
amount Of money in the near future.
While there has been A disposition on
the part Of some of the city authorities
TO put out short term securities, It is
known that the advice OF some of the
leading bankers of the street has been
decidedly against such a step. Unques-
tiOnably. the attitude of Comptroller
Craig in holding aloof from undertake
ing long-term financing thus far has
proved most advantageous to the city,
because it is now possible to obtain a
much better deal from the City'S point
of view in providing for its financial
requirements than would have been pos
sibIc Il few months ago.
The last New York City financing,
which was done last August, resulted
in the City'S having to pay nearly Jat
per cent for Its money. Vt that time,
however. the money market situation
was more tense than ut the moment.
Recent developments in the municipal
bond market. as we'll as in the money
market, have been such as to lend con-
siderable confidence in the outlook
Money rates have dropped to n level
considerably lower than those obtaining
last summer: the Federal Reserve dis
count rate also has been materially re-
ducCd. Recent municipal offerings have
been much more satisfactory to the
municipalities and States thai have been
identified with such transactions.

GOSSIP OF,
THE STREET

One Of the chief factors in the mar
Net is the talk relative to the consolida-
ton of steel companies. The present
seems to be time when mergers are
popular. At least, merger talk Is pop
uIar, irrespective Of whether anything
actually develops nlong the lines which
gre now most discussed relative TO the
punching together Of various corporate
interests engaged In different lines of
trade.
The steel merger situation is ono
which may be regarded as holdover,
from the pCint of view Of market dis
cussion, because more than year ago
there were rumorS of such n develop
mcnt finally being consummatcd. There
was quite some talk Of q possible con =
solidation Of some of the leading equip
mcnt companies, American Car and
Foundry and American Locomotive
being mentioned as likely possibilities in
this connection.
As usual, however, there was a CON
siderable degree Of mystery injected into
the situation, which served its purpose
in bringing about rises of fair proper =
tions in the stoels and equipments.

Much Railroad Financing

Present Indications are that the
much -hcralded railroad relief measure
may never be passed by Congress, In
that event 1t is n forcgone conclusion
that several of the leading railroad cor.
porations of the country over period
of thr next few months will be in the
market for large amounts Of money.
There is disposition to believe that
new railroad financing will be popular,
because present securities included in
this group are commanding satisfac-
tory price, and there has been tend
cncy toward broadening Of operations
in this group recently.
On the floor of the New York Stock
Exchange there nre now greater num-
Der of railroad bonds traded in each
session than for several fears past. and
the turnover in some of the securities
which ordinarily are regarded as in
the inactive group is q substantial one.

Copper Interests Cautious

As result of the action Of the mar
kct, sentiment among the dealers is
highly optimistic. and, but for the good
advice and attitude of some of the
leaders, the market would have been
rushed up sharply by some of the more
impctuous sellers. who nre anxious to
get prices to n point where there will
bo small profit on the present sales.
Apparently, realizing what occurred
in the past when quotations were put up
sharply without justification, however
these leaders were inclined to go slow in
the matter, and as n result there is
more confidence among the consumers
than has been experienced in several
years. Certainly the underlying con-
dtUns Of the market are better than
they have been at any time since the
armistice was signed more than three
years ago.
