Trolley Tracks.


 There is still hope in the minds of several of the kensington and Berlin residents that the Connecticut company will install new trolley tracks along it's local line soon. At many points within the past new sections of rail have been placed and some people fear that the company will mot place new tracks but will still continue to patch the old ones. It was stated at the New Britain of- flee this morning that it is not known whether-rew tracks will be laid or not but orders to that effect are ex- pected any day from New Haven.
 The roadbed of the company has been- in poor condition for the. past few years and new tracks have not been layed since the tracks were originally installed about 25 years ago. Several accidents of minor result have occurred because of the poor tracks.

Sterling Squirt Continues

The upswing in stock prices which
yesterdays trading. In the last hour
the trend was definitely downward and
was facilitated by an abundance of
short selling.
Floor traders leaned to the view that
the rebound had been 80 rapid that the
market was due for reaction. The
efforts Of the professional bears were
aided by those who sold to take profits
on turns made in the market since the
recovery began.
Although the average price Of repre-
sentative industrial stocks at the close
was slightly lower, there was little to
yesterdays fluctuations except irregu-
larity. In the morning the tendency of
prices was to mount higher, as those
who had sold securities IN December to
establish tax losses continued TO appear
in the marketplace as buyers.
The fountain and springs Of the
strength in the stock market during
the last week have been technical, in
ternal factors rather than any funda-
mental changes in outside conditions.
When the constructive force Of repNr-
chases by tax sellers has spent itself
there is likely to follow period Of
dulness, according to opinions ex-
pressed in brokerage circles. Even
those who anticipate q marked recovery
in security prices in 1921 are disin-
clined to look for q sustained bull
market Immediately. The supply Of
credit for stock market purposes has
not yet visibly changed and those who
for r. n
movement Of large proportions are
watching the money market as the key
to the situation. Call loans were again
arranged at per cent yesterday. 1t
was announced that the Treasury would
withdraw $3O,500,000 tomorrow from
the New York banks, having already
taken out $46,00O,0O0 this week.
In the commodity markets the selling
bv spectators overcame enthusiasm
over the passing of the bill to revive
the War Finance Corporation over the
Presidents veto, and prices In the
grain and cotton exchanges reacted. In
banking quarters there is GOODNESS to-
ward the War Finance Corporation re-
vival and skepticism as to the magnl-
tude of the part it can play in bolster
ing up foreign trade. However, there
is nothing like unanimity Of opinion in
the matter and the bill is not without
supporters among bankers.
Sterling persisted yesterday in its
squirt to higher levels, gaining 2 cents
to the pound and closing at $355&
which is the highest quotation since
October. The negotiations COR the re-
funding of the British debt to the
United States Treasury have impaired
fresh confidence to those who deal in
sterling and constitute the dynamic in
fluence in the present movement.

from institutions.

Cuba's New Sugar Crop

Financial conditions and unfavora-
BILE weather have combined to retard
the progress Of the grinding of the
new sugar crop in Cuba. A year ago
the mills were working overtime grind
ing the cane, so as to permit the plan
tation owners to market their product
as quickly as possible. Late advices
from Cuba are to the effect that thirty
one centrals have started grinding,
against 120 in operation at this time a
year ago. II. A. Himely, the Cuban
representative of the Federal Sugar
Refining Company, estimates there is
sufficient cane available in Cuba to
make a crop of 4,051,000 tons during
the 1920-'21 season. Last seasons crop
was about 3,730,000 tons, so that this
estimate would indicate an increase of
about 800, 900 tons. There is still in
Cuba in storage a considerable amount
of sugar, representing the carry-over
of last season.

Further Pipe Price Cuts

Announcement was made yesterday
of cuts in pipe prices by the Jones &
Laughlin Company and the Youngs,
town Sheet and Tube Company to the
level of the United States Steel Cor

similar action taken by the Republic
Iron and Steel Company last week, and
brings down the quotations of prac-
tically all the independents on their
products to the Steel Corporation level.

pany, will be made from composition
Of bronze and aluminium. 1t will re-
place the emergency paper money is

withdrawn as fast as the new coins are
issued. 1t is expected it will require
two or three years to complete the
change. At least 100000 coo francs
will be needed 70 make the substitution.

Would Finance Machinery Sales

One of the first moves toward using

Of certain American manufacturers of

that if they are given plenty of time
they will be able to pay out of the
goods produced on the spindlcs. This

Midvale Meeting To-day

Directors Of the Midvale Steel and
Ordnance Company meet to-day for
dividend action, and much interest was
shown in the financial district yester-
day over what policy the board would
announce in view of the general trend
on the part of industrial corporations
toward conservation of cash resources.
Midvale, along with other independen
steel companies has been affected by
the recession in steel buying, although
taken as whole the earnings for
1920 are expected to compare favorably
with those of the preceding year.

Good Demand for Acceptances

One of the interesting developments
in the money market yesterday was the
broadening demand for prime bankers
acceptances. Savings banks, interior
institutions and individual interests
we're reported heavy buyers of bills.
The supply of bills has been lessened
of late, according to the bulletin of
the American Acceptance Council, by a
reduction in the volume of packers
naper. The new regulations of the
Federal Reserve Board relating to ac-
ceptances have made it necessary for
exporters of meats and packing house
products to fulfill documentary re-
quirements to which they have been
unaccustomed, and for which they must
amplify, and to an extent reorganize,
their credit machinery.

Cuban Loan Delayed

Political obstacles are said to be re-
sponsible for the delay in the -closing
of the negotiations for loan by Amer
lean banks to the Cuban government.
The announcement that General Enoch
H. Crowder is to go to Havana at
President Wilson's orders to confer
with President Menocal, with a view
to aiding in the stabilization of con-
ditions within the island republic
aroused much interest among the
bankers who have been considering
the loan proposition. The bankers feel
now, in view of late developments, that
it will require a month or six weeks
to untargle the political and financial
situation sufficiently to make possible
definite credit arrangement. The
moratorium in Cuba which expired
on December 81 has been extended for
another thirty days.
New-York tribune., 1921-01-05
Bankers Not Enthusiastic

Bankers and financial interests gen
orally failed to cnthusc much yester-
day over the news from Washington
that the House, following the action of
the Senate on Monday, had passed the
bill reviving the War Finance Corpora
tion over the veto Of the President. 1t
is the common banking view that the
corporation will "cut little ice" one
way or another. The action of Con-
gress is looked upon as an effort to
hand a sop to the farmer and make
him think that something is being done
for him to help him out of his present
difficulties

Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies

Reports Of new financing by the At
lantic, Gulf and West Indies Steamship
Lines took more definite form yester-
day, when director stated that an
issue of securities would probably be
arranged running in amount from S.
100000 to s12,O00000. The company,
he explained, was in need Of funds to
complete payment on fourteen new
steel tankers which were contracted
for last year. The total cost of these
ships was then estimated at S34, 100000,
and thus far approximately $21 100000
has been paid. 1t is believed that the
new financing will take the shape of
an equipment trust, with the majority
of the new tankers as collateral.

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

Exchange rates on London con-
tinued to display pronounced strength
yesterday, rising 2 cents in the pound
to S3.55A, the highest rate in more
than two months. The present rate
compares with a low in October Of
1888.
1t is the opinion Of exchange bank
ers that the strength Of sterling is
due to the more favorable outlook for
the British trade position. Also the
fact that Britain Is moving to fund
its indebtedness to the United States
is considered constructive influence.
French exchange displayed easier
tendencies yesterday, while Italian lire
also closed lower. German marks
were barely steady.

Inc nrst lodge or the order was or
ganized In the city OF Washington. on
Feb. 18TH, 1864. by Justus II. Rath-
bone. II is matter Of history, how
ever. that. Rathbone first conceived
The idea OF fraternal society, TO be
based on the historic friendship OF
Damon and Pythias. when he was a
young man teaching school at Eagle
HJrbor. and he wrote the ritual OF
the order at that time, so that Mich

real birthplace of their order.
