Montana and other northwestern

road commission and the federal trade
commission. both of which %organiza-

by Montanans for gasoline and oil.
These investigations showed that the
prices are far above what competition

The advantage to the public arising
from the construction of a northern
or southern railway line, Senators Ken
drick and Walsh stated, and from the
competition which might be expect
ed from the success of a bidder not al
lied with the Standard oil, would more
than compensate for the slight differ
ence in the bids figured only on the
price offered for oil.
The peoples wealth in oil Is being
bartered away to the big oil interests,
they said.
There were three bidders for the
Cat Creek oil. the Lewistown KERN

and the Lewistown Oil 81 Refining
The latter company, it is
understood. contemplated the building
of a refinery at Butte. The bid of the
Lewistown Refining, which was ac-

that of the next highest company was

On the whole. our foreign trade is
proceeding satisfactorily. although it
has not been developing nearly so
rapidly as might be desired. The re-
coyery of Europe will be gradual at
best, so it certainly is too much 10

Bond Market Strong
The prevailing tone in the bond mar
ket during the week was strong and
steady. There were not many gains
of n substantial character, but in re-
Spouse to Il good demand there was a
general upward tendency. which would
seem to indicate q much liyelier mar
ket around the first of the year. The
bond market. the same rs general busl-
ness. is being influenced to a consid-
cradle extent by conditions abroad, al
though it must be said that the m
proyement in foreign exchanges mas
had a tendency to more than offset I'M
favorable influences. Abundant bank
ing funds are apparently available tor
short-time investment and 1t has been
reported that there is "A decided IN
crease in the demand for short-term
securities.
New offerings during the week have
been in fair volume and in most cases
have been well received. One indica-
ton of the market is the experience
with the new $13,G00.0W Philippine
government AS which were recently
offered. The public has had the pleas
ure for the first time in several months
of reading in an advertisement. Books

ket. this issue is being satisfactorily
received.
The demand for municipals showed
a decided strengthening. while there
were not many increases in prices. The
tendency toward recessions which was
evident several weeks < now seems
to have entirely disappeared and buy
ing competition among underwriters OF
new issues is again developing. Deal
ers generally feel that the undertone
of the municipal market is much firm
er than it has been for some time past
and they anticipate a heavy demand for
some months to come. Railway bonds
gave a good count of themselves,
those issues being well protected BY
the market showing advances, while

"The chief factor in this is the
fact that the export trade has beer
