Kansas City Improvement
Is Reflected by the Banks
BY DICK SMITH.
rial Dispatch to The Sta

Special Dispatch to The Star
KANSAS CITY, May 25.-Crop con-
ditions and the prices for farm prod
uets continue to strengthen the hope
fulness of the business communities
throughout this section. The demand
for the additional equipment just or
dered by the American Refrigerator
Transit Company consisting of 1000
refrigerator cars was created by the
large movement of strawberries, but
ter. eggs and poultry from this terri
tory and by the outlook for a record
fruit crop. The refrigerator transit
company is controlled by the Wabash
and Missouri Pacific railroads.
Continued improvement in business
conditions is reflected in the finan-
cial position of the banks. The loans
of the Federal Reserve Bank here
have decreased to about $4,000. 900,
as against sS3,000.000 a year ago, and
1920, 900, 900 two years ago. In the past
month loans of the War Finance Cor
poration in this district have totaled
only 100000 Bankers are beginning G
to experience a demand for money to
finance purely speculative purchases.
but there lis a we'll defined tendency
among them to discourage such bor-
rowing.
Reports of a possible merger be-
tween the Chicago and Alton and the
Missouri Kansas and Texas railroads
were denied today by officials OF
those companies. The report started
from q trip made by officials of the
roads over the two systems.

sion house business. however, was
again on a fairly large scale.
Petroleum stocks continued the i'm
portant features of the trading.
especially the Standard Oil issues.
Prairie Pipe Line was in urgent de-
mand, and moved up about ten points
in response to the statement of earn
ings showing net after all charges
for 1921, equivalent to s5s.57 share

lar. with Kirby Petroleum and In
ternational Petroleum both selling off
fractionally. Fensland OIL was firm.

sure and suffered fractional losses.

North Pacific Lumber Trade
at Highest Point in Years
BY PAUL c. HEDRICK.
,ecial Dispatch to The Star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
SEATTLE, May 24.-Lumber manu-
facture of the North Pacific coast
this week reached the highest point
in years. Production has been per
cent above normal capacity and new
business booked ran Is per cent
above production.
This tells the story of the forward
movement in general lines of business
in this territory. for lumber is to the
Pacific northwest what cotton Is to
the south and corn to the middle
west. Authorities in the lumber trade
seem to agree that the lower freight
rates from the Pacific coast to trans
Missouri territory ordered by the In
terstate Commerce Commission will
result in still further increase in pro-
duction of the chief industry Of this
section.
Manufacturers of overalls for rough
work in the woods and mines are
working at top speed and are in the
market for supplies of denims and
other textiles for work clothing.
Copper production in Alaska is be-
ing held back by a shortage of labor.
Mine operators are troubled by con-

the demand from New York and other

basis Of 2M. cost and freight, equal
to as for centrifugal. There were
sales Of $4,000 bags Of Cubas for June
and July shipment at that level to

Except for a little liquidation in
June, which caused q decline OF one
point in that delivery, the raw sugar
futures market was firmer on con-
tinued buying by trade and outside
interests, prompted by the advanced
spot market.
In refined sugar one refiner ad-
vanced prices 20 points to $50. max

| Minor Stocks to Fore.
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK, May 25.-Discussion
today was chiefly busy with the effect
upon railway earnings Of the 10 per
cent rate reduction and the postpone
ment of the Bethlehem Steel-Lacka-
wanna Steel merger pending investi-
cation by the Department Of Justice
Opinion was divided on the subject
of the new rate schedules. Evidently
some speculative holders frail stocks
were intimidated into selling by the
unfavorable comment which appeared
from some of the railroad executives
But the best judgment still fastened
upon the conclusion that so long as
the Interstate Commerce Commission
stood committed to 54 per cent re-
turn on property value. there was
nothing to be concerned about. II
the new rates do not produce this re-
turn, there is an implied promise that
they may be revived upward enough
to repair any deficiency.
Rail Shares Sensitive.
Railway stocks and the lower grade
of bonds were somewhat more sensi-
tive than they had been Wednesday
but there was no important decline.

In the early dealings. the general run
OF these securities was simply left
to a fresh series of pool operations
In low-priced rails and the industrial

Naturally. the enthusiasm for steel
mergers was chilled by the news
that the Attorney General proposed
to look thoroughly into such combi-
nations before giving his approval.
There was hasty unloading by the
speculative following in stocks like

ment market were again quite plain
