ACTION TO THWART
BOND THEFTS TAKEN
Stock Clearing Corporation
Will Clear Libertys.

The number OF thefts of Liberty bonds
from messengers in the financial district
Is expected to be reduced materially by
the action of the Stock Clearing Cor
poration, an offshoot of the New York
Stock Exchange, which has decided that
after February Is Libertys will be
cleared as are stocks and many other
securities. BY making transfers of Lib
ertys In transactions OF Stock Exchange
members through the Stock Exchange
Clearing House the number of bonds
which 1t will be necessary to send
through the streets for delivery will be
brought 10 minimum.
Heretofore the practice has been to
make deliveries of all bonds sold, and
In certain cases the same bonds have
been sent through the streets two or
three times in a day. A house may
have purchased Libertys from one house
and have sold some of them to a third
firm. When the time for delivery of
the bonds arrives the former may take
the bonds. which are delivered by the
house from which It purchased them.
and send them to the house to which
It made sales, thus sending the same
bonds through streets twice. And that
sort OF thing conccivably might be con-
tInued on and on until the bonds would
have made several trips through streets,
winding up eventually. perhaps, at the
house from which they first started.
BY clearing the bonds as II clears stocks
the Stock Clearing Corporation will be
able to mark off purchases by certain
firms against their sales, with the result
that only definite balances one way or
the other actually will have to be de-
livered.

EXPECTS MORE ADJUSTMENT.
Banker Says 1921 Is Not Likely to
BE boom Year.

Harvey d. Gibson. president OF the
Liberty National Bank, in that banks
publication. the Liberty Torch, expresses
the belief that the course of defiation
has run an uneven course and that fur
ther adjustments may be anticipated.
Undoubtedly in some lines recessions
have gone too far and recovery OF
some part of the loss is tHbe expected"
he says.
.It does not seem likely that 1921 will
be boom year for business" continues
Mr.. Gibson. 1.-THE indications are that
this year will witness return TO more
normal conditions of business, lacking
the enormous demand of the postwar
period, with its resulting high prices.
On the other hand, reduction of prices
to more normal scale will invite the
steady buying on which sound trade Is
based. Merchants and manufacturers
should be able to make commitments
with the assurance of turning over their
goods In a more stable market than the
last year has provided. Price fluctaa-
tions will be less violent and profits and
losses correspondingly less. In other
words. business acumen will count for
more and speculation for less than IN

A great many oil companies which

q practice of purchasing crude oil from

are taking advantage of the present
situation in oil and are purchasing heav-
lily for storage. With mid-continent
prices at 60 per cent of their maximum

tionately. many OF those reAners are
buying all the oil they can get hold of
for storage. The proposed $4,000, 900
financing undertaken by the Gulf Oil
Corporation is understood to have been

heavy purchases of crude, and it is be-
lieved that other refiners like the Stand
