farm bureau hearings held in the vari'

TO the farmer, il puts him at a loss to
know when to ship in order to get
what his stuff is worth. Farmers are
obliged to unload because OF lack of
credit. The difference between what
the farmer receives for his products
and what he pays for his purchases is
so great that he cannot break even.

Prince Albert is so good

Canadian Financing

Bankers conversant with the financial
position of the Dominion of Canada
are looking for representatives of the
Canadian Treasury to open negotia-
tlons here shortly for loan to provide
funds for meeting the Domimon's $15,-
100000 maturity on August I. The
Dominion has two alternatives in ar
ranging for the maturity, fostlpg a
loan or shipping gold. Unofficial dis
cussions have limited at a $4,000, 600
Canadian loan to be underwritten by &
New York banking group next month,
hut the view is taken by some of the
tankers that it would be better to go
into the market at this time for only
half of that amount, postponing the
other half of the commitment until a
later date. Canadian government / al
ances in New York are below normal
at present, so that without the sale of a
new issue of securities it would be
necessary to ship gold. In March, when
the Dominion was arranging to meet a
$4,000, 900 maturity on April /, a
$4,000, 900 refunding operation was un-
der discussion, but the terms offered by
the bankers were considered too stiff by
Dominion representatives and the obli-
cation was retired partly out of current
New York balances and partly through
gold shipments from Ottawa.

Stocks Higher,
Trading Quiet
On the Market
Prices Advance at Close
On Indications That
Liquidation Is Over:
Commodities Irregular

| Professional spectators, more con-
cerned with internal forces relating to
the technique of the market place than
with the news. yesterday responded
! with only languid interest to a con-
struetive outside development, but
| toward the close bid prices vigorously
upward on signs which they inter
preted to mean that the liquidation
was at least temporarily over.
At the opening the market had the
report that the British mining strike,
which had been paralyzing industry,
was settled. This assurance was
greeted with little enthusiasm and
prices rose only moderately. Soon
stocks lapsed into an irregular dull
| ness, and fluctuations revealed no dom
inant trend. Bear raiding manifested
itself once more, but their efforts were
| scarcely successful. This fact led to
fairly vigorous short covering in the
last hour, particularly in the last
thirty minutes Of trading. The gains
were sufficient to efface the losses sus-
tanned on Monday.
The relief in the British industrial
situation caused no sharp rally in
sterling, although firm tone prevailed
in che market, which has been weak.
Sterling cables closed at $3.761s, up
Is Of cent.
The settlement of the labor dispute
stimulated activity on the Cotton Ex-
change and prices soon leaped up 50
bale. But the buying demand did
not persist and quotations gradually
eased off, reducing the net gains to II
to 81 points. On Friday the govern
ment end-June crop report will be
made public, and until this Is out trad
ers are hesitant in regard to taking
new positions.
In contrast with the quiet spirit
prevailing in the other markets. the
wheat pit yesterday was a center of
marked weakness. Net losses were 6s4
to 8& cents on intensive hedge selling
from the Southwest. Under the cir
cumstances little buying power came
from the shorts, who were disinclined
to cover Cash wheat declined in value
in all markets. In Minneapolis there
was break of cents.
Temporarily the supply of specula-
tive credit has become slightly more
restricted, and this moderate tighten
ing was reflected in rise in call
money rates from per cent at re-
newal time to 51s per cent. Although
this was the highest rate in days, Wall
Street is still SO used to really stiff
rates that the rise was of no percep-
tible influence on the course of security
prices. With the approach of the time
for end of the month disbursements
the banks are inclined to husband their
funds and there is temporarily less
available to lend or the Stock Ex-
change. Moreover, the United States
Treasury, which withdrew $4,000, 900
from the New York banks yesterday,
will take out s29,oOO,oo more to-mor-
row.
New-York tribune., 1921-06-29

The housing of the curb market and
the throwing about the new organiza-
tion of rules and regulations designed
to afford the trading public greater
protection have given rise to a discus
sion of what the attitude of the banks
will be toward accepting curb securi-
ties as collateral for loans, When the
market was doing business at the old
stand on the Broad Street curb only a
small and carefully hand-picked list of
curb stocks were accepted as loan col
lateral. The view Of bankers who have
been asked about the matter is that
they will continue their former policy
with regard to lending upon curb Sc
curities, and that each case where a
loan is sought against such securities
will be held to be special transaction
and will be judged according to its
merits. "The mere fact" said one
banker, chat the curb has gone in
doors does not make the securities it
deals in acceptable as loan collateral" >"

Oil Shares Act Well

Oil stocks had an abundance of un-
favorable news to combat yesterday,
but the group as whole came through
the days session with flying colors.
The two developments which might
have been expected to prove disturbing
to the oil group were the appointment
of receivers for the Gilliland Oil Com
pany and another reduction in the price
of Pennsylvania crude petroleum. The
Gilliland development came as a dis
tlnet surprise to the Street. The pre-
ferred stock of the company. which is
listed on the Exchange, was not traded
in, but was quoted at the close; 25 was
bid for the stock against an offer quo
tation of 65. The day before nothing
was bid and the stock was offered at 65.
The new cut in Pennsylvania crude
dropped the price to 1925 from $3.50 a
barrel, which compares with q high
record price before the present slump
began of $3.50.

Another meeting of the committee Of

for taking care Of the overdue bank
loans of the Willys-Overland Company
vas held yesterday At its close one
of the members said that while prog
ress was being made it would still take
considerable time before the assents OF
all of the different interests could be
obtained. The plan under contemp pla-
ton involves the issuance of approx
mately $20,O0O000 of first mortgage
bonds to be underwritten by strong
banking group. The position Of the
company has been steadily improving
since the beginning of the year and its
Gosh standing is much stronger.

Figures were made public yesterday
showing that the Studebaker Corpora
ton produced and sold $500 cars in
April, 7,40O in May, while Wall Street
estimate placed the June total at close
to 5000. This makes the best quarter
in the history of the company. Recent
models, effective June 1, are said to
have been fully Offset by reductions in
costs arising out Of lower priced ma
terials, and lower wages and greater
efficiency of labor. Studebaker was one
of the strongest spots in the market
yesterday, rising points net to 747s.
