New York, March 25.-The fea-
ture on the curb exchange today
was Sterling products, incorporated,
which was dealt in for the first
time. The stocks started at 40 and
later advanced to Al before profit
taking developed The company
controls many of the best known
patent medicines. The buying to-
day was believed to be for the
account of those who had their
subscriptions materially cut down
because of the heavy over sub
sCriptions to the issue.
Acme Packing was again in eX-
cellent demand and rose to a new
high record for the present move
ment, and there was continued per
sistent buying of the Hudsona and
Manhattan issues. Swift Interua-
tional and British American To-
bacco was strong. Some OF the r.
cent leaders, including Libby, Nc
Neil and Libby and Eastman ko-
dak, were slightly lower Postum
Cereal gained more than two
points when small buying orders at
the market were executed at the
opening. Offerings were small.
In the oil group there was rattle :
general activity among the low
priced issues. Hudson Oil was the
leader, advancing to a new high for
the present movement Mexico Oil
was active. Kirby Petroleum was
steady and firm tone was shown
to Maracaibo and Cities Service

days sharp rise. New York city

With Chairman Gary's statement
that the steel corporation was fol-
lowing the advance in prices init
lated by the independents, the good
news which Wall street had been
looking forward to yesterday was
out, and consequently the rule was
to take profits on the steels. Beth
lehem Steel B made a new high at
~. but subsequently came down
and so did steel common.
A jump in Woolworth's stock
based upon the prospect of a mel

issues, notably kresge and May

dividends on cocoa-cola accompan-
led the special buying at new high

BUTTER MARKET
BREAKS SHARPLY
AS WEEK CLOSES

Chicago. March 25.-After hang
ing in a balance almost the entire
week, with demand just about
equal to the supply and prices
holding steady, the butter market
broke sharply toward the close of
the week ending March %, due to
an accumulation especially of fancy
butter at the eastern markets.
About the middle of the week New
York began to feel the weight Of
supplies of fancy butter in excess
of a ready demand and to this was
added some of Philadelphia sur
plus. The Boston market at the
same time appeared fairly firm on
both fresh and storage and at Chi
cago stocks of practically all
grades were short and barely sufi
cient to supply the regular trade
demands.
One interesting feature of the
weeks market was the relatively
good demand for the lower scores.
The shortage of centralized butter
mentioned, the previous week was
relieved to some extent.
New York reports the movement
of considerable quantities of Aus
tralian and New Zealand butter,
part of which was sold to Canadian
merchants at prices said TO De
around 351a and 3612 cents.

largely on the argument that the
four-power treaty was not inconsis-
tent with the League of Nations
covenant and that article two OF
the Pacific treaty is hardly differ
ent in essential points from article
10 Of the covenant.
So the Republicans are happy
that they have put through the first
areaty of world import and the
Democrats are secretly joyful that
the Republicans have been commit
ted to international cooperation as
definitely as the phraseology of the
four-power treaty indicates.
Enters World Affairs.
To the impartial observer, the
record Of the United States senate
on the four-power treaty is hardly
different from the votes on the
Versailles treaty. In the case of the
latter pact there always was a two
thirds vote ready to ratify the Yer
sailles treaty with reservations.
Republicans blame the Wilson lead
ership which was uncompromising
ly against the reservations on the
ground that they nuIlified the pact.
President Harding has felt that the
Brandegee reservation was unnec-
eSsary, but he submitted to the
judgment of the party leaders who
insisted that without the reserva-
ton the four-power pact was lost.
1t is a matter of history that prac-
tically all the Democratic leaders
urged Mr.. Wilson to take the Lodge
reservations and secure American
membership in the League of Ma
lions. Mr.. Wilson believed the
election of 1920 would decide the
issue in his favor. but unfortunate
ly the contest was encountered by
many other domestic questions and
political experts still differ as to
whether the vote was definitive of
anything but a desire - a change
in administration. ~
The Harding administration
stands today encouraged by the ac
ton of the senate. More interna-
tionaI cooperation is inevitable and
judging by significant statements
made here and there in quarters,
the United States government will
from now on assert itself affirma-
lively in world affairs.

.. S. Yards. Chicago, March 25.-
The usual Saturday trade was gem
eral in the cattle alleys today No
good steers were offered In the
hog pens values went to the weeks
nigh point on a light run. Less
than 5000 hogs were held over
from yesterday. Receipts were
1000 cattle, 1000 hogs, 5000 sheep
and 300 calves.
CATTLE.
Small lots of cattle sold here at
unchanged levels. Some spots
were off 15@25c. Cows also lost
much of the early advance, but
closing values were mostly 15@25c
above a week ago. Gamers and
bulls showed strength, while calves
closed about steady for the period,
with vealers placed at 7.50@S.50.
HOGS.
Hog values were up 15@25 to-
day, bringing the market about back
to the weeks high point. Choice
light lots sold at 10.45@1O.55, while
few rough packing hogs went be-
low 900. One small lot sold at
1850, but 1885 was the practical
top of the trade.
SHEEP.
Nearly all of the reported 5000
sheep and lambs were received by
pa kers today, and the trade was
of little account. Three loads of
shorn wethers sold at 900, which
was steady. Compared with a week
ago, shorn lambs show gain of
25c, while wool lambs and aged
stock held steady during the period.

RURAL
ELECTRIC RATES
InterlOcutOry Order Cuts Scale in
Half in Mercer and Other
Northern Counties.

Through the activities of the
Illinois Agricultural association an
interlocutory order of the Illinois
commerce commission lately is
sued cuts in half service charges
for rural light and power imposed
by the Northern Utilities company
in rural districts in northern Illi-
nCis counties.
7. G. Larkin. mana ger for the
company in Aledo, stated today that
beginning April 1 so per cent re-
duction in service charges becomes
effective.
The manager said that the COM
pany was not serving any Custom
ers in Rock Island county affected
by the ruling, which is tentative in
character, pending a final deter
mination of the case which was
brought up last August by county
farm bureaus.
r. B. Mcdonald, manager of the
Peoples Power company, said the
ruling would have no effect so far
as that corporation is concerned
for no rural customers are supplied
by it. Light and power from the
Peoples Power company is sold to
other utility companies, including
Northern Utilities. Sherrard Power
system. Rock River Valley Power
company, and the Coal, Light and
Power company at Port Byron, but
is not sold directly to rural con-
sumers.
Manager Bowen OC the Sherrard
Power company said today that no
reduction in service charges had
been ordered by the Illinois COM
merce commission in the territory
served by his corporation; in fact
under a commission rule the rates
have recently been raised, he de-
clared.
Information available today is
that the order effects the service
charges of the Northern Utilities
company only. and that consumers
in Rock Island county are therefore
not affected by the ruling, although
the order is operative in Mercer
county.
Farmers in Lee, Dupa ge, DeKalb,

WEEKLY GRAIN AND
PROVISION REVIEW

Chicago, March 25.-Heavy sales
to make end-of-the-season settle
ments have been largely respon-
sibIe for a material setback in
wheat prices this week. Compared
with a week ago the wheat market
this morning showed losses rang
ing from lie to 61sc a bushel. 9th
er net declines were corn: 2Ssc tol
provisions 45c-
Approach of the time for the
winding up Of May contracts had
much to do with bringing about
pressure to sell wheat, especially
the May delivery, and it was said
in particular that one of the big
gest holders in the market disposed
of most of his line. Increasing
supplies on ocean passage tended
also to have a depressing effect o.
values, and so too did evidence that
Argentine wheat could be obtained
in Europe much cheaper than ship
ments from the United States o.
Canada
With the domestic visible supply
larger than at the corresponding
time last year, and with finances
disturbed by a new low record for
German exchange, rallies in wheat
prices were mostly of a transient
sort Less favorable crop reports,
however, from parts of Kansas and
Oklahoma, together with presence
of green bug pest in Texas and
elsewhere in the southwest caused
some changes as the week drew TO
an end.
Corn and oats went down with
wheat
Provisions were affected chiefly
by lower quotations on hogs.
