 Sydney, Oct. 3.-Australian spring time conditions justify an optimistic outlook, say government officials. The dairying season has opened remarka- bly well, lambing returns were con- sistently high and pasturage and wheat areas are in excellent condition The rains and snow melting have caused floods in Victoria but the damage has not been extensive, and any local material loss is we'll balanced by the general gain to the land.
 The wool industry is more buoyant with good prospects of a steady market.
 The meat industry depression is largely due to the effect of high freightage overseas.

Investment Bankers See
Check ON Fraud Stocks
Favor One Bill Introduced in
Congress Intended to Aid Blue
Sky Laws Oppose Another

Efforts to enact laws by Congress
intended to check fraudulent stock pro-
motions were passed upon at the quar-
teriy board of governors meeting Of
the Investment Bankers Association
in Milwaukee recently. One bill pro-
posing to have securities registered in
Washington was opposed because it
was contended that great inconvenience
would be done to legitimate business.
Another, intended to assist state blue
sky commissions, was approved. Of
this the bankers said:
among the bills in Congress is one
known as House of Representatives
1850 and is intended to curb the sale
and offering of fraudulent securities
through the agencies of special COM
mittees in the Federal Reserve Bank
districts. 1t is the purpose of this
bill to have these committees so organ
lied that rs soon as an Offering of a
fraudulent security comes to- their at
tention they will inform the Federal
Department of Justice SO that the legal
machinery may be set in motion, not
only to stop the further offering of
such security but to punish the Of
fender if he continues to- offer them
This bill provides that it shall not in
any way interfere with any blue sky
law now in effect or that may be
adopted, but it is intended to supple
nrent such blue sky laws. This bill
proposes a somewhat similar type Of
legislation to that recently adopted by
some Of the states, notably New York,
Maryland and New Jersey"
The Investment Bankers Association
of America passed resolution favor
ing this bill and advocating its adop-
ton.

Special Dfsputck to The Tribune
MONTREAL, July 25.-There does
not seem to be the slightest doubt as to
outlook by financial people here who
are usually close to the situation sur
rounding the Canadian Pacific Railway.
The forecast for the current six months
rs for steadily lowering operating costa
which win more than Offset declining
gross receipts, allowing for generally
higher showing in respect of net earn
ings. The local group of fnanciers who
are regarded as being largely instru-
mental in keeping together the large
Canadian interest IN the securities of
the company speak with more conf
dence than has been their wont for
come time of thesoutlook for the road.
The first half of 1921 showed that the
dividend had been earned. when the
usual special income account earnings
are taken into consideration. This is
all that WIS done by the company in
1870. While it is not thought that
earnings for 1921 will show anyth iny
like large increase it seems certain
that a fair margin over all current re-
Qu1remeutS viii be- earned.

Cotton Continues
Decline on Crop
And Weather News
Indications Deterioration Is
Not So Great as Trade Ex-
pected Factor in Selling;
Little Support in Market

The decline in the cotton market
which began toward the close of last
week was accelerated yesterday by an
other condition report which confirmed
the growing impression that the gov
eminent report on August / is not like
ly to prove as bullish as some of the
trade have been expecting. The report
issued yesterday by a local cotton house
made condition 681 compared with
69.5 at the end of June, upon which was
figured crop indication of 100000
bales, compared with the government
indication a month ago of 8,433 900
bales.
In view of the numerous boil weovil
complaints recently in circulation and tho
considerable spell Of showcry weather over
reports showing az littlc deterioration as
that indicated by the vwo already pub
lished and yesterdays selling operations
were generally believed to include n lot
of long. cotton that has been held for o
good while, part OF it by traders who had
been expecting the leading shorts to cover
Ine decline forced October down to
l2;21 and December to 1859 or AZ points
below the close OF Saturday. At this lovel
the market was just about SIS bale under
the high prices which prevailed week
ago and as much above tho recent cx-
treme low level
Little support was noted at my time
during the day except from room shorts
the trade and Wall Street. Even at the
opening the market was rather heavy
and first prices showed . to @, points
decline while the close was 80 to 40 points
net lower and at bottom for the day.
ASIDE from reports that the sale OF
woolens by the leading manufacturer for
the spring of 1922 was proving satisfac-
tory, advices from the textile markets
contained little news calculated to divert
traders attention from the moro bearsh
weather and crop situation

Qulet and 40 points lower at 1926 for
mlddling; no sales were reported.

Banks Apathetic, Mississippi
Itself Sells Hospital Bonds

Through the financial cooperation Of
three large Eastern life insurance cora
panies, the State OF Mississippi will be
able to carry out its plans for the
building Of n new tuberculosis sanato-
rum. For time the unwllingness Of
bankers to buy $1,O00000 of new ~
per cent bonds of the commonwealth
because they regarded the rate as UNI
attractive threatened to defer the exc
cution of the public health program.
Attorney General Robertson, of Mis-
sissippi, asked authority to come TO
New York, after the usual procedure
failed to bring bids on the new bond
Offering from Investment bankers. Mr.
Robertson, it developed yesterday, in
terviewed representative fnanciers
here and learned that it was the con-
sensus of banking opinion that 1T
would be Improbable to buy the issue
and then market the securities at re-
tail to investors. The state wanted to
sell the bonds to wholesalers at par,
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1921-07-26

and bankers argued that on the aver
age the serial bonds would have to be
scld to the public on the same basis.
Not discouraged, Mr.. Robertson de-
cided to break the impasse by selling
the bonds directly to investors himself.
He called on three of the largest inves-
tors here-life insurance companies
and disposed of the entire issue. The
New York Life Insurance Company
purchased 100000 of the bonds, the
Prudential $250,000 and the Metropoli-
tan Life $250.000.
Mr.. Robertson did not sell the bonds
simply on an investment appeal, but
stressed tho humanitarian aspects of n
loan to help tubercular patients. He
went so far as to contend that perhaps
some policy holders of the companies
might be saved from untimely death by
the sanatorium which the loan would
make possible.
The State of Mississippi asked for
bids on the loan on June 81.

V0lsteud Bill Would
Use Federal Trade Body


WASHINGTON. July 25.-Asked re-
garding the fraud bill which he in
troduced, Representative Volstead
said tonight:
"The bill introduced about July 20
is in its main features identical to
the one introduced at the last ses-
sion. The principal change is that it
undertakes to bring into the operation
of the bill. should it become law, the
Federal Trade Commission.
"In principle my bill is the same as
the mail fraud act. 1t is known that
fraudulent securities are being offered
to the public. The Attorney General
under the bill would be authorized,
should he have reason to believe any
security fraudulent in any way, to re-
quire firm or business to show cause
why it should not be restrained, and
should this be ignored he could issue
an order preventing it from doing
business and then prosecute"
