Sisson Sees Little Aid
In Some ssReIief'' Plans
Opposes Cut in Freight Rates
Until Operating Ex.
penses Drop

Several of the moves designed to give
immediate help to business men STRUCK
by the depression were attacked yester-
day by Francis II. Sisson, vice-presi-
dent of the Guaranty Trust COMPANY
in an address at the convention OF the
Newspaper Publishers Association at
the Waldorf-Astoria.
Mr.. Sisson declared that it was folly
to demand lowering of freight rates
until the operating expenses OF rail-
roads, chiefly labor, have been cut; de
also attacked the Southern and West
ern Congressmen who are fighting Tor
a lowering of the Federal Reserve re-
discount rate and an increase OF 81
375,000,000 in Federal Reserve notes'
declaring that this would mean Infia-
ton and would not solve the problem
Of marketing surplus, crops.
"The throwing up of tariff barriers
for which the farmers plead" con,
tinued Mr.. Sisson, will. in the end
not only fail to accomplish its purpose
the bettering of the farmers conoi-
tion-but will do the very opposite. :,
"Actual relief of the present condi"
tion can come only through the erea-
tion of new markets and outlets for the
products of the farmer, and not III
artificially increasing the prices o.
goods entering into domestic consump,
ton. This result, can be accomplished
best by opening up our foreign mar
kets to take over our surplus supplies.

Plea for Freight Rate
Cut to West Is Denied
1ntermountain Fails to Get Re-
duction Because of Possible
Water Competition

WASHINGTON, April 27. - Freight
rates from points of origin east of the
Rocky Mountains TO the intermountain
territory were found by the Interstate
Commerce Commission to be not un-
reasonable, unduly prejudicial Or
otherwise unlawful. Complaints by
shippers and others We're dismissed
The complaint was made against the
maintenance of approximately the same
rates between Eastern points and in
termountain territory as between the
East and the Pacific Coast, the COM
plainants seeking to have rates to the
mountain points graded according to
distance, with the rates to the coast
as working basis.
Before the war rates to the coast
were lower than those to intermoun-
tain territory because of water COM
petition growing out of the construc-
ton of the Panama Canal. War con-
ditions practically eliminated this COM
petition and the commission in. 1918
increased some coast rates and lowered
some intermediate rates, which brought
about practically level set of rates
TO the two territories

Reaction i'm Wheat
After Early Gain

Anticipation Of Increased
Demand Basis for Rise;
Scantiness of Offerings
Fails to Check Decline

CHICAGO, April 27.-Wheat bulls
overloaded themselves to-day, and al
though prices averaged higher most Of
the time the market broke at the last.
The close was heavy, PC to i Ac net
lower, with May $1.25h to ..1.25%. and
July, $1.04M to $1.O5. Corn lost asc to
sscMMc; oats, asc to 5sc and provis-
ions sc to tic.
Predictions of enlarging demand for
all grain helped to start the wheat market
upward, and bulls showed particular hope
fulness that export call would prove to be
robust. Expectations of European buying
were partly fulfilled later, Greece taking
1900, 900 bushels, and it was said India
was acquiring rice abroad, owing to short
age of the native food supply. Likelihood
of frost in Kansas and Nebraska teuded
also to stimulate bulizh confidence.
with Greece developed. however and gossip
spread that Germany and Italy would be
out OF the market for some time. At this
juncture the fact became known that
10000 bushels of oats had been sent into
storage here, circumstance decidedly
bearish as to oats. Ensuing efforts to let go
OF wheat holdings made prices descend
rapidly in the final half hour.
Word that some corn arriving at Dutch
ports was out OF condition had a depress
ing effect the corn market. and so. too
did the liberal storing of oats here. to-
gether with the consequent weakness of
the oats market.
Provisions were inclined to sag In the
absence of any adequate support.

Credit Conditions
Stressed in Report
Of Federal Reserve
1920 One of Most Remark
able Years in Economic
History, Says 9th Annual
Statement of N. Y. Bank

Unsettled conditions arising out of the
sixth annual report Of tho Federal Re-
serve Bank Of New. York, issued yes
tcrday, which holds that the year will
stand out as one Of the most remark
able in financial and economic history
Of the United States.
"Under the circumstances" says the
report which is submitted to Governor
w. P. G. Harding of the Federal Reserve
Board by Pierre Jay, chairman and
Federal Reserve agent of the bank,
"the attitude of banking and other cred
itors has been almost invariably help
full and constructive. Extensions have
been readily granted where "a concern
had good management and good
record, and was in condition justify
ing such n course. Management by
creditors committees, or rcorganiza-
tions by agreement Of creditors. have
taken the place Of what would usually
have been long list of confessed fail
ures and receiverships."
Attention is called to the changed
aspect of the Wall Street money mar
ket as a result of broadening of dis
count facilities. "Until few years
ago." the report says, "call money was
the only investment of presuma ably in
stant convcrtibility and the rates for
call money were generally considered
indicative of the volume of available
surplus funds. But recently with the
development of the open markets in
! bills and in Treasury certificates of
indebtedness, both representing instru-
ments which are now instantly con-
vertible, and which in volume far over
shadow the call money market. the lat
ter has become less of an Indicator of
credit conditions.
Another factor operating against the
Importance Of the call money market
in this respect is that loans on secur-
tiles other than United States govern
ment securities are not available as a
basis for credit with the Federal Re-
serve Bank, and investors, in addition
to requiring for their current funds an
investm ment Of undoubted convertibility
in the open market, now want the ad-
ditional protection Of an investment
which, if the open market fails, can
be converted into cash at the Federal
Reserve Bank.
The volume Of funds absorbed by the
call money market declined almost
steadily throughout 1920 and, as in the
case of the absorption of commercial
paper, the great bulk of the lending
was done by ~~lt-of-town banks and in
sttutions."

Reaction Follows
Upturn i'm Cotton
On Profit Taking
Improved Tone Causes Rally
Early, but Prices Fail
TO Hold; May Contracts
Firm, Others Are Lower

A number of bullish features were
emphasized on early advances in the
cotton market yesterday, but they
failed to create any buying power OF
Importance This was doubtless dis
appointment to scattering holders Of
contracts, and prices weakened in the
late trading as a result Of realizing or
liquidation.
There was also Southern hedge selling
and probably some local pressure, inspired
by reports of an unsettled feeling in the
stock market and apprehensions OF strike
by marine engineers which might interfere
with exports. July contracts sold on from
1918 to so and closed at 1854, with the
general list closing steady In tone, but at
