Overproduction in Oil

Much stress is laid in current oil
trade journals on statements that un-
less drastic curtailment of production
is put into effect serious crisis in the
industry will take place. Stocks. not
only of crude, but Of all grades of re-
finery products are growing to record
proportions while demand for every
thing, with the exception of gasoline,
continues to shrink" says The Oil Trade
Journal. export markets are shot to
pieces. Europe is stocked up for months
to come and inclined to restrict future
purchases in the American market to
the narrowest possible limits. depend
ing a $ much as possible on Rumanian
and Galician production. South Amer
lea is also out of the running and de-
mand from the Far East has been great
ly reduced. In the face Of these con-
ditions there is a mad race for new
production. Efforts made earlier in the
year to limit drilling had little effect
and the lack of cooperation has seen
the inauguration of another cycle of
price reductions. The downward re-
vision began when many wiseacres were
predicting a general upturn, basing
their forecasts mainly on the action of
the Joseph Seep agency in advancing
the price of Pennsylvania crude"

Atchison Dividends Safe

Dividend payments will be continued
on both the preferred and common
stocks of the Atchison, Topeka e. Santa
re Railway throughout 1921, according
to w. b. Storey, president, who was at
the New York Offices Of the company
yesterday when the semi-annual divi-
dend on the preferred was declared
Mr.. Storey declared that even If the
Labor Boards wage decision had not
been made the road had plans under
consideration by which the dividends
could be maintained at the expense of
a rigid program of economy in the
maintenance departm This would
have been accomplished, he said, with
out neglecting the safety of the lines
and in way that would meet all traffic
demands. Mr. Storey asserted that the
wage reduction to become effective on
July / should cause no expectation
that rates will come down. They will
be lower, he explained, only when the
volume Of the railroads business in
creases to point where they can take
new business at cost below that now
prevailing. As an example of how the
Atchison has economical in order TO
meet its financial requirements Mr.
ctolSy Sdlu CHdt SfHCS DeCemDGF 1o,uUU
men had been laid off, resulting in u
saving of about $3,0oO0o0. May and
June earnings should be better than
the earlier months of the year, he said,
but he does not expect any material
Improvement before July, when grain
traffic will start to come in. The food
in Pueblo, Mr.. Storey said, had cost
the company several hundred thousand
dollars and has caused 8 temporary
cessation of both passenger and freight
traffic to certain points in that vicinity.

Railroad Wage Cuts

The announcement from Chicago yes
terday that the 150 railroads at a hear
ing before the Railroad Labor Board
would ask for wage reduction that
would wipe out the full S700, 100000 in
crease granted last July was interpret
ed in local railroad circles as meaning
such request would not be made i'm
mediately, but was an indication the
larger reduction would be asked for
later on. 1t is generally conceded that
the IL per cent reduction, recently an
.nounced, would affect all the railroads.
Reports of a possible strike among
maintenance-ofway employees, if the
referendum vote on the wage cut IA
vored its non-acceptance, were not
taken seriously here. The general opin-
ion was that the reduction would be ac-
cepted with good grace.

Tax Selling a Factor

More was heard yesterday of tax
selling as factor accounting for the
weakness Of the market during the last
few days. Several brokers were GER
tain that large volume of liquidation
had taken place by firms and individu-
uals who were using this method to
raise funds to meet the payments due

large Broadway commission house de-
clared that commercial interests had
been among the largest sellers of

The Dollar in Foreign Exchange

The recovery in foreign exchange
rates yesterday and the announcement
that Germany had placed more than
S14,000,000 to the credit of the Allies
in New York confirmed the impression
that Mondays sharp decline of ster-
ling, francs and guilders could be at
tributed to Germany's accumulation of
dollar exchange.
Sterling continued easy for time
after the market opened, but the alb
sence of offerings caused active bidding
and quotations rose steadily until at
the close cables were quoted at $3.825s,
net advance of AS cents. Francs
followed the same trend, the French
and Belgian advancing above s cents
and the Swiss working up to 17.45
cents
New-York tribune., 1921-06-08
Explanations of the RalIv

The late upturn in prices in yester-
days trading, following the establish
ment OF new lows for the year, was ex-
planned as being due to number of
reasons, among which was the sharp
recovery in sterling, the easing off in
the call money rate of 7 per cent and
reports that the State Department had
virtually decided to recognize the
Obregon government in Mexico. There
was also report around the noon hour
that an important banker was about to
issue reassuring statement concern
ing conditions, but this failed to ma
terialize. The rumor probably referred
to the statement of C. E. Mitchell,
president of the National City Bank,
that changes in the banks method of
management would be put into effect
soon. The drop in the call money rate
to z per cent was due to offerings of
funds made available by payment of
the last subscription installment of
the $100,000,0OO French loan.

Brazilian Loan Reports

Reports received in the financial dis
trict yesterday from Rio de Janeiro
were to the effect that jacques Vein
berger, representing Blair & Co., Inc,
of New York, is negotiating with the
government of the Brazilian state of
Rio Grande do Sui regarding a loan
to cover the cost of improving rail
ways. The amount is reported to ex-
ceed s10,000,000. Representatives of
Blair & Co., Inc, would not confirm
the reports, although it was stated
that Mr.. Weinberger has been in
Brazil and is now en- route back to
the United States,

VIII Go to China Again

John J. Abbott, vice-president of the
Continental and Commercial Trust and
Savings Bank of Chicago, is planning
third trip to China this summer and,
according to announcement yesterday,
is leaving next week for the Far East
to remain there until fall. On his
two previous trips to China the West
sern banker represented the American
banking group in the international
consortium. This time also, it is under

American Hide and Leather

The American Hide and Leather
Comany, it was said yesterday, showed
a small profit in April for the first
time in six months as the result of
a conservative policy in purchases of
hides and writing down inventories.
May, it was stated, was better than
April, and June is expected to show
further Improvement. May sales were
said to be the largest in the last
eight months, while orders were the
biggest in eighteen months. This was
considered an exceptionally good show
ing, as this is usually the dull season
for the COMPANY.

Cotton Credit Rumors

Bankers with German connections
heard rather vague reports yesterday
via the cable route of negotiations for
large banking credit on behalf of
German interests to provide funds for
the purchase of American cotton. The
amount of cotton involved, it was said,
was 100000 bales. This would require
in excess of $13,0o0,000.

At the regular monthly meeting
of the Baraboo Post, American, held
at the G. A r. hall Monday evening
it was decided to send for a set of

some of the comrades in charge Of the
program for the Labor Day celebra-
ton were not at the meeting; but
from reports presented, this years
celebration promises to be filled
with more entertainment than was

war veterans here last year. A parade
is planned for the forenoon. The af-
ternoon entertainment at the fair
grounds will include a ball game be-
tween two of the 1oest teams in the
vicinity In the evening, in addition
to features similar to those last year,
there will be presented two or three
