Bond Market
BY STUART p. WEST

(By Special Leased Wire.)

New York, March 27.-The stead
mess of Liberty loans today was
typical of the movement OF bond
prices. There were no important
changes, and the entire list appear
ed to act without regard to outside
news. Last Saturdays high records
in the foreign government group
were sustained in most instances,
although the s per cent bonds OF
the government Of Switzerland and
the cities of Zurich and Berne de-
clined rather sharply on realizing
sales. Copenhagen 51as, Rio De
Janeiro IS, Danish Municipals and
Queensland Is all reached their
highest for the year, and Bergen
Ss also were strong British and
French loans were active and firm.
Among industrials, the Cuba Cane
Is and IS both advanced about a
point. Chile Copper 6s, Pierce Oil
IS. Steel 5s, Atlantic Fruit Is, Ajax
Rubber IS and few of the public
utility, including American Tele-
phone & Telegraph convertible IS,
worked slightly lower.
Standard dividend paying railway
issues received much less attention
than the more speculative rail
bonds. Minneapolis & st. Louis re-
funding As struck fresh top and
the Iowa Central As, Ann Arbor As
and Kansas City Terminal As were
in good demand. The Erie issues,
New York Central 6s, New Haven
IS and Seaboard Airline adjustment
5s, however, fell off.
A banking syndicate has sold ST.
O50,O00 city of Philadelphia 4 Il per
cent 20 to SO year bonds. dated
March Is, 1922. The 100000 San
Antonio, Texas, farm loan bonds
sold at 1919 and interest to yield
about 4.80 per cent, were the larg-
est land bank issues and were well
taken.

FOR SCHOOL PRANK

Chicago, March 27.-George Ohm
stead, Jr., one Of the 20 Williams
college students expelled recently
for helping publish snappy issue
of the college paper, is at home in
Evanston, but without the parental
blessing. George OImstead, Sr.,
director of a large paper company,
and former officer of the First Con
gregational church in Evanston,
conferred with his son and then
said:
II am glad the faculty repri-
manded the young men guilty OF is
suing such a paper as the rs sta
dents put out. They wanted the
world to know that such conduct
will not be tolerated at Williams. "

wheat REGAINS
after SLUMP;
CORN SLUGGISH

Chicago, March 27.-Wheat had a
good rally about midday. There
was liquidation in May contracts
early and there were many among
the locals who were inclined to put
out short wheat because of this
TACT. Export houses picked up the
wheat at every 1ac down and when
shorts attempted to cover the eff
feet of this buying was felt later.
The semi-monthly report of the de-
partment of agriculture told of the
crop condition being only fair as
results Of alternate freezing and
rain over Ohio, Illinois and Michi-
gan and that more than usual re-
seeding would be necessary in Ore
gon and that green bugs were pres
ent in goodly numbers in OklahO-
ma. This as well as the report that
Germany bought new wheat for
July-August shipment encouraged
buying of the late months, which
acted stubborn even when May WAS
at its weakest. Supplies on pas
sage decreased 1,300,0 900 bushels as
the result of smaller worlds ship
ments. Visible supply decreased
LOT 900 bushels. Primary receipts
were 100000 bushels against 1872
900 last year.
Corn slumped with wheat and raj
lied later but prices were unable to
recover as fully as the leading Ger
cal. Liquidation was in evidence,
while the only buying appeared to
be by shorts. Shipping demand was
light and the only outlet for cash
corn is the pit, 100000 bushel of
contract corn being sold to go to
store for delivery on May contracts.
Visible supply decreased $4,000
bushels last year. Primary re-
ceipts were $4,000 compared with
96S, 900 bushels last year.
Oats were neglected Elevators
bought July and shorts covered
The market experienced a little
pressure early in the way of liqui-
dation by May longs. Exporters
were after 80 pound white clipped
oats, but their bids were out Of
line. Weakness in hogs and lack of
buying power caused a drop in pro-
vision values.

MEAT TRADE Is
WEAK BECAUSE
OF HEAVY RUNS

United States Yards, Chicago,
March 27.-Livestock trade showed
weakness today. Heavy runs hurt
the market. Receipts today were
$4,000 cattle: 10000 hogs; $4,000
sheep and 800 calves: against 49,
923 cattle; 37,579 hogs; 1896 sheep
a week ago.
Cattle.
Values were mostly 15125c low
err. Heavy lots sold at SS.O0GS.65
while some yearlings went at $50.
Top lots were quoted at $4,000
1895. Cows and heifers were weak
to Csc lower, but Gamers at $4,000
335 were nearly steady. Bologna
bulls held unchanged. while calves
were down 25c Most of the good
vealers sold at s7.50QS.00.
Hogs.
Values were 100l5c lower in the
hog pens. Demand was fair at the
decline. Choice light stock sold at
$4,000 1O.40, and many deals were
made. Some prime light lots made
S10.45 for the top, while rough pack
ing hogs sold down to SS75U9-00.
Light butchers also went to the top.
Sheep.
Demands for lambs improved and
some sales were up as much as
Csc. Prime wool lambs sold up 70
$500, while best shorn lots went
at SI3.2501350. No good aged
stock arrived, Medium grades sold
strong.

DOWN TURN FOR
STOCK DEALING
NATURAL DRIFT
nv srEMARr p. WEST.
wall street, New York, March

Wall street, New YORK, Mdrcn ~.
All the markets today felt for the
time the force Of reaction from the
active speculative movements of the
: mast months. There was no acute
weakness anywhere, and such de-
clines as occurred was much more
the result of inside than outside
causes. Certainly it denoted no
change in the attitude of quiet
cheerfulness toward the outlook
which has been felt right along.
On the stock exchange the down
ward turn had manifested itself
plainly on Saturday. Today's de-
; cline was simply continuing what
was an entirely natural setback
after six meeks of almost uninter-
rupted operations for the rise. The
same could be said for the renewed
weakness in the May wheat OPP
ton and for the decline in foreign
exchanges.
The bond market was an excep-
ton. 1t was still sustained we'll up
to the best prices of the year by the
easy condition in the market for
fixed date loans. 1t ignored last
weeks little upturn in call money
because it was well understood that
Wall street had dropped its bid
lower than was warranted by the
price credit in other sections of the
country and that consequently there
had to be an equalization.
1t would have been hard to link up
today's early selling in the share
list with any occurrence in the out
side news. To say that the impend-
ing coal strike was an important in
fuence would have been an obvious
mis-statement when the stocks OF
companies whose earnings would
be most affected did absolutely
nothing in the market. What had
really been counted most in the re-
cent Wall street trading is the trade
reports and these as they came in
ovre Sunday contributed still more
testimony of a favorable nature,
especially as concerned conditions
at the steel centers.
In the grain market it was dem
onstrated as it was in stocks that
the early selling was nothing more
than a technical reaction due to
temporary speculative conditions
and not to any reaction in the sit
uation affecting the grain trade.
Ostensibly it was the leS favor
able crop reports that were respon-
sible for the rally in wheat in the
afternoon, but in the more impor-
. tant things was that when ever
wheat prices go down at all, they
reach level at which foreign coun-
tries buy freely.

FINANCIAL NOTES

The statement that the Marlin
Rockwell corporation tax dispute
with the government had been set
tied is held to account for the re-
cent rise in this stock. The figures
involved in the settlement were not
disclosed.
The Atlanta Federal Reserve
bank today reduced the rediscount
rate to Az per cent.
Coffee sold today at 9.45 for
March, GAP for July, 936 for Sep
TENDER and 9.35 for December.
Raw sugar was quoted at $50 for
May, 2.78 for July, S.S4 for Septem-
Der and 2.99 for December. Rein
ed sugar was at $50 for May, sos
for July, $50 for September and
5.S5 for December.
Sugar Refining company declared
today the would be well fixed for
coal in event of strike, their re-
serves being ample for two or three
months.
The Erie railroad has been grant
ed government authority to issue
$10,000,000 in per cent promis-
sorry notes payable on demand after
April 1, 1928. These will be de-
livered to the war finances corpor-
alton in exchange for a like amount
OF the Erie per cent notes due
April /, 1922. The New York, New
Haven & Hartford has been au-
thorized to issue $3.50, 900 first and
refunding mortgage bonds, series
c, which will be held by the United
States treasury as partial security
for a government loan.
The Steel company of Canada in
its report for 1921 showed a net
income. after charges, taxes and
inventory adjustment. of s817,292,
as against a net income of 1885,
404 in 1920.
The net income of the Borden
company for 1921, after charges
and federal taxes, amounted to ST.
924,746. This is equivalent, after
payment of dividends on the pre-
ferred stock, to $1144 on the COM
mon. This compares with a net
income of 2,81S,S60, or 1895 on the
common stock in 1920.
AS anticipated, the German
Reichbank will send $4,000, 900
marks from its gold reserve to
England this week. The Reichs-
bank dividends for the last year
probably will be 10 per cent, as
against $40 in 1920 and 1924 in
1914.
Merchants Dispatch Transporta-
ton company and Reading second
preferred sold ex-dividend today.

: Il remembered that the prayer

not contain His name and yet it
all agree.
Il felt that it would be better to

The facts contained in this let
ter are just now made public. They

by Senator Hitchcock of Nebraska
and Senator Glass of Virginia, who
S called Senator Underwood of Ala
bama TO task for referring to the
Pacific treaty as a great Christian
document.
A copy of the entire correspond
ence between DR.. Abernethy and
some OF his critics is understood to
be in the hands of senator's. They
claim that in every way this cor
ton that from the very outset there
was a tendency on the part of those
IN charge OF the conference to go
to extreme lengths in placating the
Japanese delegates.
Heretofore international confer
ences have not been opened with
prayer, This was the first great
gathering of the kind held in the
United States, however, and the
demand came from all quarters that
Christian spirit should pervade
the proceedings.
Having agreed upon an opening
prayer the senators who have TAX
en- up the controversy say there
should be no attempt to interfere
with the freedom of religious ut
terance of the minister selected as
chaplain. DR.. Abernethy still in
slstS there was no censorship of
MS prayer. The senator's them
selves, in their discussions, COM
pletely absolve President Harding
from any knowledge of the matter.
"A preacher down in my state, 4"
said Senator Glass, said the
League of Nations failed because
1t did not contain in its text the
name of God. l wonder what we
would think of a treaty at the con-
ceptlon of which the name of Jesus
Christ was deleted."
1t will not be denied" said SEN
ator Hitchcock, that in the open
Ing prayer of the conference the
Clergyman was not permitted to
mention the name of Christ out CT

DryGoods Market
BY STUART p. EST
Copyright, 1DZZ.I

New York, March 27.-While
there was some little activity in
drygoods today, 1t was not of a
character to indicate any break in
the stagnation which has effected
cotton goods for a week past. The
tone of wide print cloths was bare
ly steady, but the narrower con-
structions were more active and
firmer There was some evidence
of buying sheetings for export and
fine goods were in demand in small
lots. but in general the market was
marking time and watching closely
the wage situation in New England,
especially at Lawrence, Mass. Raw
silks were fairly strong, but buy
ing was confined largely o small
lots. Finished goods, with the ex-
ception of the crepe weaves, were
weaker in tone and manufacturers
express NO encouragement over the
outlook.
