Bond Market
BY STUART p. WEST
tcopyrisht. 1922.b

New York, March 21.-The influ-
ence of favorable money conditions
remained the most important fac
tor behind the bond market today.
Liberty bonds took the lead from
teh outset and kept strong. The
foreign government group lost
some of their vigor when French
government 711s and IS weakened
and moved rather unevenly below
yesterdays final prices. The IS
were especially reactionary. French
city bonds were better and the De-
partment of the Seine Is advanced
to fresh top.
An interesting incident was the
Offering of new issue of $4,000 900
City of scissors, France, 15-year
efflternal reconstruction secured o
per cent gold bonds. They were
sold at 851z and interest TO yield
about 1855 per cent and it was re-
ported that the sale of the bonds
was progressing satisfactorily this
afternoon. Swiss IS, too, were ac-
lively dealt in at their highest fig
ure for the year, and United King
dom 5bs of 1929 were stronger
while Mexican issues were practi-
cally unchanged. The Dominion OF
Canada SIS of 1881 sold off fraction
ally.
Most of the high records occurred
among the more speculative of the
railway bonds. The approval of the
interstate commerce commission of
the Erie railroad new refundlng
plan caused a rise in all the Erie
bonds. Frisco prior lien as series
A, Missouri, Kansas and Texas As
when issued, Big Four IS, Chicago
and Alton 31as. and st. Paul gen.
eral AIS got above their best pre-
vious highs while New York. Cen
trail 6s and Chesapeake and ohio
convertible IS also distinguished
themselves.
Missouri Pacific 6s, Long Island
5s of 1887, Union Pacific refunding
As, Chicago Railway 5s, and New
Haven IS all gained point or more.
Industrial bonds were irregular
with the copper and rubber tire is
sues active favorites. Greater New
York Traction bonds moved but
little on the day. Consolidated
Gas rs declined again, touching 1O7.

Curb Market

(Copyrisht, 1897

New York, March 21.-There
were periods of rather heavy proft
taking on the curb exchange today,
but comparatively good buying

this selling to a large extent. Pos
tum Cereal was erratic. declining

covery as a result of inside sup

usually active but held around it

Petroleum continued in good de-
mand interest was shown in Red
Bank Oil on the announcement that
the company had completed a well
producing $50 barrels per day.
Boston and Montana held steady
and there was a fair demand for
Volcano around yesterdays closing.
Todd Shipbuilding declined about
a point while Goldwyn Pictures,
after holding well during the fore
noon, met heavy selling orders and
dropped sharply. Later it rallied
on short covering by floor traders.
The motor stocks were quiet. Unit
ed Retail Candy was in fair de-
mand and rose a fraction. Della
ware, Lackawanna & Western coal
was traded in at S912.
High priced oil shares were we'll
held. There was good demand
for Buckeye Pipe Line. Prairie Oil

today in Naples in connection with
the strike of longshoremen, which

troops on the Rhine, who have been
ordered Withdrawn, will be replac-
ed in the CobIenz bridgehead by
the French, who now occupy the
sectors on both sides of Coblenz.
The French government, it is as

having come by that channel
through Major General Henry T.

the Germans that it is in way a
showing of disapproval of the al

day its last full day of unlimited
discussion on the pact
While prepared addresses deal
ing with the treaty generally had
the right of way on the senate floor,
senator's on both sides were laying
plans which seemed certain to re-
vive debate regarding the suggest
ed two power understanding" be-
fore the day was over.
Cravath Refutes Statements.
An element expected to figure III
the debate was the denial made in
New York last night by Paul ID.
Cravath, widely known attorney, of
statements attributed to him in the
senate yesterday by Senator Borah,
Republican, of Idaho. Mr.. Borah
told the senate he was quoting a
stenographic record of Mr.. Crl-
vath's words, but the latter said in
his denial that his real meaning
was contained in a revised tran
script which may be presented in
the senate today
1t was considered likely that 4
motion to recommit the treaty and
call Mr.. Cravath to washington for
an explanation would be made by
the treaty's opponents.
AS quoted by Senator Borah the
New York attorneys statement in
cluded allusion to such a degree
of understanding" between the
American and British governments
as to assure both that they could
count on the "clOSeSt coOneratiO,l' -
in any future emergency. Both
Senators Lodge and Underwood,
Democrats of Alabama, members of
the America harms delegation, de-
MED the assertion.

New York, March 21-T'he dry
goods market was a buyers mar
ket today, as it has been for some
time. Bidders renewed their eff
frots to secure wide print cloths
at figures slightly under the pre-
vaillng prices, but in most in
stances they found the mills firm
on 3813 inch 64x60's and on 7Sx72's
for spot delivery. The volume of
trading was maze up of small or
ders. Makers OF wide sheeungs are
talking of curtailment, although
some narrow sheetings are moving
for the Latin American trade. In
quiry for cotton blankets has made
its appearance.
Raw silk was weak, rejecting
primary oriental markets but broad
silk manufacturers and hosiery
men still held off. There was a
better inquiry noted in thrown
silks. In finished goods, ribbons
showed some activity.
WOOL.
Boston, March 21.-The wool
market seemed to be marking time
today. Manufacturers are holding
of to determine how the labor
questions in the garment trades
are to be settled and buyers of
wooden goods are doing little. 1t
was made evident that these fac
tors were influencing dealers in
raw wool here and there was a
Discrimination manifested to meet
ing the price demands of growers
in the west. Prices here were not
materially affected, although the
tone of the market was perhaps
somewhat softer, especially in the
coarser grades. The Ontario wool
growers have arranged with the
Canadian cooperative wool grow
ers to collect and grade their wool
this year and hope to lower the
cost of marketing thereby.

Of England
At that time the English bank
tound its hand forced by the COM
natition of the outside discount

own rates. Similar action by the
federal reserve authorities would
seem to be inevitable unless our
money market experienced a very
unexpected change. Even more eff
fectiye than the easy credit sItua-
ton in today's stock market were
the reports of improving business
and a rising tendency of prices in
an Increasing number of CONNER
eial lines. 1t is very significant
that the Independent steel COM
paries have been able to hold their
price scale instituted week ago.

Bile to the change for the better

The movement in motors stocks was
evidently anticipating that yester-
DAYS action of Maxwell Motors in

lated before long. Equipment
shares at one. time had a little
squirt and an Unusual amount of at
tention was paid to shares of COM
panies engaged in one form or an
other of the clothing business
Here again there was an intimate
connection between the price move
ment and the latest trade reports.
The call money rate for new
loans got up to Az per cent in the
late Afternoon but this merely indi-
Gated a temporary cutting down OF
