47 KINDS OF GOLDEN
 ROD IN CONNECTICUT

The hay fever season has arrived. Rag weed. goldenrod and certain types of grasses whose pollen is of the trouble some variety for persons with sensitive membraneous tissue are approaching the polienating season, and the big annual sneeze is almost in order. Millions of sneezes will soon be heard throughout the confines of Uncle Sams domains and al ready the hay fever sufferers are making tracks for the White mountains and like retreats, to remain until the sneezing period has passed. Along the roadsides millions of clusters of goldenrod are bursting into bloom, and in some in stances have already reached the flower ing stage. But the most ornery sight from the standpoint of the hay fever victim. is the wealth of ragweed-that unoffen- sive appearing and almost insignificant looking plant which thrives best wherever goldenrod is found.
 While the appearance of goldenrod is always a signal fCc alarm on the part of those numbered among hay fever suffer CTS. the so-called American hay fever does not get under way in real earnest much before the middle of the month. al

Stock Prices
Lower. After
Firm Opening 9
Steel c o IN m o III Reaches
New High Before Re-
action; Railroad Se-
cnrities Hold Steady

Speculation in industrial shares was
confused and irregular yesterday. After
firmness at the opening, recessions
started, and after vacillating, final ouo-
tations were distinctly lower on the
average. Railroad issues were steady,
as traders placed favorable interpre-
tation on the statistics revealing close
to the heaviest car loadings ever re-
corded.
The volume of trading Mt the Stock
Exchange was slightly larger yester-
day, but 1t was largely under the sway
Of professional spectators. Steel com.
mon returned to it's traditional role Of
leadership and reached new high
mark for the present recovery before
reacting.
Internal market considerations were
the primary influence. Foreign de-
velopments were scarcely factor, for
the Continental European exchanges,
even German marks, rallied from their
excessively depressed level of the pre-
vious day. There was no special sig
nificanee to the rally, which represented
| short covering and trade buying by
those convinced that prevailing quota
tions offered bargains. The commodity
| markets, which are sensitive to foreign
news, were fairly steady to firm. Wheat
prices st the close showed q of a cent
| net decline to II OF cent advance.
| Cotton quotations, on the other hand,
| continued their upward sweep, which
| gathered fresh momentum on Wednes-
day from the publication of ginning
reports which confirmed expectations
Of q short crop.
Call funds we're available at the
| Stock Exchange at 5M per cent all
| through the day. The expected con.
| tinuation Of credit expansion for grow
| ing commercial and agricultural re-
quirements was revealed in the current
| weekly statements of condition of the
| Federal Reserve system. Changes in
| reserve ratios were slight.

Francs Recover sharpIv

News from abroad that the commit
tee of experts which has recently been
Investigating conditions in Germany
favored moratorium of two years
or more in reparations payments in
cash OF kind. together with deferred
consideration Of loan to Germany,
made for better sentiment in the fore
ign exchange market yesterday, chief
ly because of the hope it held forth Of
settlement on reasonable basis of
the reparations problem. In view Of
the fact that francs have been declin-
ing because of the discouraging out
look for collecting anything from
Germany to aid in righting the French
budget position, their smart recovery,
in the face of this development, was
rather contradictory. The break had
been so sharp, however. that dealers
the rebound as natural if
only from, the standpoint of technical
conditions. The close was at 652 cents,
compared with low on Wednesday
of 6.1s1a cents. Marks tirmed Some
what. although holding below two
hundredths of a cent, while the other
principal European currencies we've
usually improved.

the matter had not yet been either

"Mex Pete" Still Listed f,

fer, expired at midnight "Wednesday,
MEX Pete" was still traded in on the
Stock Exchange yesterday with the
prospect that no immediate. action viii
be taken toward striking it srom the
list. 1t was estimated by Mexican
Petroleum officials that when all the
deposits Of the stock have been tabu-
lated it will be found that about 1900
shares of the common and 1900
shares of the preferred have been
turned in for Pan American "B." ~
there were approximately 117,06a
shares of Mexican Petroleum out
standing before the exchange Off
was made, the amount now in the
hands of the public is in the neighbct-
hood Of 10000 shares. Pan American
Petroleum and Transport had previous
ly owned ell but 1850 shares of me
Pete" preferred, and the additional
10000 which it has secured brings the
amount outstanding down to aboue
10,550 shares. No statement was
made by Mexican Petroleum officials
what action will be taken
with respect to the undeposited stock.

planned of the difficulties incident to
the linguistic problem presented by the
discussions, but the task of preparing
to seek the approval of the security
holders for the pact is proving even
more strenuous A form of receipt for
deposits, entirely complying to A,neri-
can requirements, is objected to by the
British section of the international
committee because it would be subject
to taxation there. 1t is modified to
meet the British objections and pre-
sented to the French, who offer fresh
reasons for it's discard or complete al
teration. And so it goes At present
no time has been set for issuing the
call for deposits under the plan, but
this will be done as soon as possible,
which probably means further DELAY
of month, more or less. The agreement
calls for the resumption of interest
payments on the Mexican debt after
January 2-i. e.. it is not contemplated
that the January l coupons ehoula be
met. The first coupon which will he
