New York, June 20.-With the
exception OF the United States gov
ernHent issues, which were active
around their high prices there
were no outstanding incidents In
today's bond market. A moderate
quota of new capital offerings
were sold including an issue OF 49,
600 900 state OF North Carolina 41a
per cent highway bonds, maturing
annually from 1892 to 1861 and
yielding Abs to 4.40 per cent de-
pending upon the date OF maturity.
A small amount of flotation for in
dustrial and public utility account
also was disposed of by banking
syndicates. Announcement was
made that the New York Central,
Michigan Central, Cleveland, Chi
cago and ST. Louis, and a few 9TH
er roads together have asked the
interstate commerce commission
Tor permission to issue joint OBJ
legation of liability in respect OF
$27, 640,0 New York Central lines
five per cent equipment trust GER
tificates, maturing in Is series or
equal amounts up to 1887. The
New York, Lackawanfa and Wes-
tern railway has applied for au-
thority to issue 100000 five per
cent first and refunding mortgage
bonds as well as $5,000,000 addi-
tional common stock.
The strength of Liberty bonds
was accompanied by a firmer ten
dency in the foreign external
group. This was due to Improve
ments in the foreign exchanges.
United Kingdom 514's of 1922 and
1929, which fell off rather sharply
on Monday gained about Il point
today, and the French government
loans held their ground. The Paris
Lyons. and Mediterranean railway
six per cent certificates dropped to
their lowest figures since they
were issued. Mexican As and IS
continued active around their
prices on the preceding DAY.
MarIand Oil securities were again
heavily dealt in. The reason for
the rise in the past few days in
these bonds were made entirely
clear today when the directors OF
the company put the stock on a 81
dividend basis as the bonds parnci-
pate equallyIwith the stock up to
81, this makes the bonds at IL
per cent issue. The TVS and SIS
were at their top figures.
High grade railroad mortgages
were little changed and the low
priced issues were irregular. Sea-
board Airline bonds were strong,
with some decline in other mem
bers of this group.

New York, June 2o.-Inf1uences
of Saturdays rise in raw cotton
were still manifest today. But
even here interest was by means
general and the advance has not
affected business to any appre-
cable extent. Indeed the usual
caution, pending developments, is
for the most part to be noted in the
present condition of the market.
Some mills have withdrawn from
the market while others evidently
are not eager to sell ahead. Con-
tradictions abound. Southern COX
As, 625 yard sold, not plentifully

TIC. There was also interest in
72x60, 4.25 yard at IL cents for
southern twills whereas 6Sx7l,
400 yard twills are available at IL
cents. Several mills have declined
this figure.
The raw silk market was uninter-
csting to spectators, but for, the
same reason satisfactory in most
other quarters. Prices were firm
with little activity. Yokohama
prices are high and this does not at
all suit the American idea.

ket which is firm and likely to con-
tinue so if the good news concern
ing the comfortable position of the
mills and the glowing reports of
statesmen now on the road continue.
This is especially the case with re-
gard to the garments. There is fine
business, also in the women's
wear fabrics division, especially IN
the coatings and cloakings. Wor-
steds are still on the rise. With re-
gard to the English situation there
seems to be every indication that
prices will rise materially. This,
in view of the fact that prices are
now higher, is disturbing American
buyers. There is even talk of a
consumers strike abroad.

Again today preference was
SHOWN for what Wall street terms
the big stocks. BY this is not
meant necessarily high priced is
Sues Rather the meaning il high
iy speculative stocks, involving
more than the usual risk and con-
sequently not held to any large ex-
tent by the public. Mexican Petro-
leum is one of these, Studebaker is
another and Gulf States Steel, which
was one of today's leaders, is an
other. The main incentive from

operations for the rise in shares CT
this character is that they bull cas-
/ lily. There is no outside following
TO block the way with heavy offer

vote on the tariff some Republicans
will argue that they will be keeping
the platform pledge by urging post
ponement of tariff revision rather
than by acting on it now. Here is
the text of the platform pledge:
QuOt&s G. o. P. Platform.
The Uncertain and unsettled
condition of international balance,
the abnormal economic and trade
situation of the world, and the i'm
possibility of forecasting accurately
even the near future preclude the
formation of a definite program to
meet conditions a year hence. But
the Republican party reaffirms its
belief in the protective principle
and pledges itself to revision of
the tariff as soon as conditions
shall make it necessary for the
preservation of the home, market
for American labor, agriculture and
industry"
While the emergency tariff law
is by no means considered a per-
feet bill, nevertheless the duties
in it are so far reaching as in the
bill intended to be permanent
which is now being debated in the
senate. Few men on either side of
the tariff debate will admit that
conditions today are settled in the
world of trade. The fluctuations
which the Republican platform
committee had in mind in 1920 are
still affecting the costs of produc-
ton and the whole trade question
is enveloped in dozens of uncer-
tainties. Those who favor the
pending bill may find themselves
a month of two after it's operation
wishing they could revise it again.
Can congress afford to act as a
permanent tariff commission? Mr..
Harding thinks not. He advocates
giving the tariff commission more
power and permitting the president
to adjust rates as circumstances
make it necessary. One political
person charged with full RESPONSE
bility he thinks would be better
than 531 members of congress with
individual and sectional view
points. All Washington is wonder
ing if Mr.. Harding will make a
fight for this provision or surren-
der to congress. His position will
be disclosed soon.
