MOTOR PRICE CUTS.

NEW YORK. June 1.-The cut in
Buick motor cars came along as ex-
pected. II was accompanied by a
similar reduction by Chalmers. The
next on the list is probably Stude-
baker: later, Chandler.
The two prominent magnates con-
nected with the market actions OF
studebaker are understood TO be still
interested. For this reason many
traders do not look for cut in the
studebalSer price until the market
movement is over.
However, 10 Studebaker does not
cut. the company faces the possibility
OF losing some of the good business
IL is now enjoying.
The motor war Is now IN It's fret
stage. and as Studebaker IS probably
doing the best business, other COM
panies can be trusted to do their ut
most to make infoads on it's trade.

FUNDING FEDERAL DEBT.

Advices from Washington indicate
that plans are rapidly being formed
TO provide for the refunding Of the
Governments floating debt.
The latest suggestion is three
year note tissue.
The feeling in the financial district,
however, Is that IL there Ia TO be any
refunding IL will be done with bonds
of long maturity After the Govern
ment's floating debt Is taken care OF,
then comes the likelihood OF an at
tempt to refund the debt owed TO the
government by the allies. This will
mean much more work and effort.
The people will have to be educated
and business mustbe resuscitated. For
this reason lower discount rates are
likely. Whether OF not the ultimate
result will be a renewal of innation,
no one can say; but such fear Is
held in many high quarters.
