some Speculation overdonc.

Certain stocks in which speculation
has been rampant since the big crop
report was published week ago suf-
fered severe sinking spells yesterday
Professional selling started the decline
IN these issues. and in some of them
stop loss orders were caught and n
weakened technical position uncovered
This was true of stocks Of farm imple-
ment companies and some of the mail
order houses. j. !. Case and Interna-
tional Harvester, which had been in
strong demand on the theory that they
would be greatly benefited by the in
creased purchasing power in the agri-
cultural districts. were sold rather heav-
lily and sellers found a thin market.
Sears-Roebuck was exceedingly strong
in the early trading. moving up more
than 2 points. but it was unable to stand

Manhattan Railway DEPOSITS.

Alvin w. Krech. chairman OF the
stockholders protective committee of
the Manhattan Railway Company, stated
yesterday afternoon that deposits in
excess of so per cent. had been made.
but that the total is still insufficient
to guarantee the success of Manhat-
tan's share in the 1nterborough re-.
organization plan. Mr.. krech intimate
that spirited drive would be made
to-day, the Last day for deposits, to
bring in the remainder Of the stock
under the plan. 1t is believed in the
financial district that short exten-
sion period may be allowed, but il Is
felt that the additional time will be
limited in order to enable the manage
ment to make arrangements to care for
the $3s.OOO,00O notes falling due Sep

Predict Higher Paper Prices.

Buying of International Paper in re-
cent markets has been based on tho
theory that the price OF newsprint will
stlffen. 1t Is known that consumers
whose contracts for paper have run
out arc having some difficulty in max
ing new contracts at the old rrices
Indeed, it is predicted that contracts
for newsprint for 1923 will be made at
prices higher than those for the cur

Money Rates Easier.

Those who have been watching money
conditions in expectation of a heavy
drain upon available resources for crop
purposes were puzzled by the easier
tone displayed by the money market
yesterday. Call money in the New
York Stock Exchange opened and re-
newed at per cent. and then declined
to 3 per cent. Rates in the time money
market also were inclined to sag. with
thirty days money commanding 3as per
cent, sixty day loans per cent. and
later maturities from ~ to AZ per

Pierce-Arrow Advances.

The sharp advance in shares of Pierce
Arrow yesterday went without adequate
explanation on the part of bankers I'm
close touch with the situation. II was
suggested in banking quarters that the
advance might have been due to the
knowledge that sales Of this companys
cars have been on the increase. The
general feeling. however. was that the
upward movement was caused not so
much by a betterment in the companys
position as forced covering by short in
tercsts.

Figures compiled by local railroads
indicate that in the Eastern section OF
the country shop forces as Of yesterday
were 50 per cent. Of normal. compared
with an average of 64.7 per cent. last

V/OU can't escape the choice.
I Either your buildings arc

are rotting and will require re-
pairing or rebuilding within a
few years.
Check the costs. Find out how
much more it will cost to repair
or rebuild your property than it
will to protect it with paint. Rot

extravaganza.
When you paint use the best
paint. 1t costs less in the long

VALUATION AGAIN
 BROUGHT TO SENATE
Senator Cappcr, Democrat, Of Kansas, Brings About Discussion of Amer
 ican Plan in the TarifI Bill.

Washington, May 16.-The Ameri- can valuation again was brought into senate discHssion Of the tariff bill to- day by seVator Camper, republican, Kansas, chairman Of the senate agri- cultural bloc charging that the most zealous advocates" of this system de- sired 1t because they believed that by it they could "conceal from the Am erican people the extent to which they desire to raise rates"
 'In effect" he said, they admit that they are seeking rates so high as to be unpopular; that they are en- deavoring not to represent the will of the people but to fool the people"
 He predicted that the real propa- eanda." for American valuation was coming in spite of the action of the senate finance committee in abandon ing it in favor of foreign value and that it would be launched by those who "desire excessively high protect i've duties on manufactured articles" ".
 He added that manufacturers were not content with tariff rates that would equalize their position in con- petition with foreign producers, but desired 'an exclusive position in the American market"
