THE GREAT BANKERS CONVEN
TION.

/ Perhaps the most interesting con
venticn of the present decade from q
financial point of view, was the meet
ing Of American bankers in the city
Of New York which adjourned last
Sunday there being present at
least ten thousand reprs sentatives
I from the various institutions that con-
troll the financial habits of the coun
try and largely the financial activities
, These men discussed American
problems and it is notable that the
! first and foremost problem fer their
consideration is the question of Eu-
rcpean financial stability The Ameri-
can position CT 'aloofness" is not indi
Gated in their deliberations. because
/ they must see at once that American
money matters is bound up in Eu
rCpean credits
Holding. as we do. nearly half Of
he gold reserve of the world, far
the necessity Of making plans for the
payment Of debts c0ntracted to us
during the war and unpaid, either as
to principal or interest. compelled to
nay enormous taxes to take care Ct
the accumulated war debts OF our own
and doing this in the fact Of the utter
collapse of European exchanges with a
prohibitive tariff to prevent the regu-
latory process that might restore the
equilibrium, the bankers have some
problems that can be considered
from a purely local point of view.
II the world is to be stabilized finan-
cially, this nation must do the most
of it, In fact their work is not to be
done unless We do 1t. We have be-
came enmeshed in the worlds bust
ness to an extent that makes our
active participation essential. Our
own problemssare serious, tr3se of a
purely local noture, but they are so
interviewer with our" obligations and
responsibilities toward the world that
bankers of the caliber attending .his
convention must look at them from a
new viewpoint. enlarge their scope of
vision sufficiently to take in tt e real
dangers and make pla :; 70 avert an,
possible financial collapse that might
ultimately involve tliis county
The results of this contention may
be worldwide in theif scope. 1t Ger,
tainiy will be the means through
which We shall obtair a De ter view
of our own needs and how to gauge
them againse the conditions of Euro
pean paper collapse as they might di-
fectly affect this country. We have
changed in the past fifty years, fnan-
aially as we'll as otherwise. and the
new problems must be met with new
methods and new enlargements. Our
nation needs financial assistance,
especially the agricultural interests
and these workers will be especially
interested in the processes by which
this is to be co-ordinated with our
forced participation in the financial
processes and problems of the world
It was notable meeting and one
from which much sound planning will
come. Let us hope that it will prove
the leaven that will tighten the loaf,
for if there is one class of men that
could bring that about it is the bank
ing class. They must realize their
responsibilities and measure up to
them.

Bond Market
BY STUART P. WEST
Copyright. 1921

Wall Street, New York, June 20.
The revival of interest in railway
securities which began late last
week and resulted in quite substan-
tial gains among numerous stand
ard bonds continued today. Not
only the high grade railway mort
cages but the lower priced issues
as well advanced fraction OF .
point to over a point Inactive
buying. This concerted upward
movement in railway bonds was the
feature of the market with moder-
ate trading in industrials and COM
narrative dullness in the foreign ex-
ternaI group despite the fuctua-
ton of exchange rates. United
States government bonds were IN
demand at close to their hifhs for
the year so far and the hardening of
call funds, if it had any appreciate
effect at all upon this quarter, only
tended to check any further in
creases in the volume of business.
New high prices for 1922 occurred
in a number of the railway issues
including the Pennsylvania general
SIS, Delaware and Hudson 512' s,
Union Pacific first tours, Louisville
and Nashville 51a's, Burlington
general As and Central Pacific first
AS. The gains in these cases aver
aged at least a point. New York
Central issues kept active and firm.
The debenture 6's, which are a call
on the company's stock at los, were
sympathetically strong and were
quoted just under 104.
Kansas City Southern SIS, Chi
cago, Milwaukee and Puget. Sound
As, the Fries, Missouri, Kansas and
Texas SIS when issued, Chicago
and Eastern Illinois SIS, st. Pauls
refunding AIS and the Frisco
bonds all were strong. Selling oc-
Cured ins the Minneapolis and st.
Louis AS, which carried them OFF
about a point The trend of Great
er New York Traction issues was
toward higher prices.
In the industrial section sugar
bonds were notably strong with the
Cuba Cane issues the leaders. Con-
solidated Gas rs did better and
Diamond Match and Liggett and
Meyers were up fractionally. IN
the foreign group United King
dom 51a's advanced as sterling
turned up again. French NUM-
cipals were soft and the Mexican
issues were irregular.
The National City Company today

bonds due 1947 The Offering price
was 81 and interest to yield about

ing was a loan of $4,5O0,0OO for the

Curb Market

Copyright, 102<.'

Wall Street, New York, June &c.
Dealings on the curb exchange
today were comparatively small
but the price movement was irreg-
ular. Mexican seaboard was the
feature making a mex high above
so. The voting trust certificates
crossed As for the first time. Buy
ing of the issues was started, as It
had ben last week, on unofficial but
vel authenticated reports of a very
large June production and also
upon the talk that the remaining
bonds will be retired at a faster
rate. Marine Oil was active on
discussion of stock dividend in
addition to the usual cash distri-
button of two per cent Aug. l. No
confirmation for this story was OBJ
tainable, however.
Despite the extraordinary rise of
the Mexican Oils on the stock ex-
change the curb oils were unaf-
fected. In fact the Standard Oil
Group at times, was decidedly
heavy with declines of a point or
more. These dips, however, were
usually followed by rallies.
International Carbon was one of
the leaders of the miscellaneous
group reaching a new high record.
Dubilier Radio was favorably in
fiuenced by tn announcement of a
contract with the CASTOR, Williams
and Wigmore company for the dis
tribution of Dubilier Products in
the Orient. REQ Motor worked
niger and Mercer certificates and
Lincoln and Moon were all steady.
Tobacco Products, exports, after an
early advance fell back on the
profit taking.

RISE IN MEXICAN
PETROLEUM is
DAYS FEATURE
BY STUART r. WEST.

Wall Street, New York, June 20.
Interest IN today's market was
divided between the renewed up
ward movement in the majority OF
the stock list, the further severe
decline In cotton and sharp auctna-
lions in the foreign exchanges
, Mexican Petroleum across 200, was
the feature of the stock exchange.
1t had been the obvious thing to ex-
plain the jump from 135 as a spec
uIative coup against short inter
est but at no time had there been
any real sign OF corner, the most
trustworthy indication of which is
the lending rate on the stock
needed for delivery by shorts sell
ers. The investigating authorities
made it known after the close OF
business on Saturday that there
was nothing in the corner gossip
and the street Immediately began
to set more store by the remark
able statement which the Mexican
Petroleum president had made last
week regarding the company's
earnings, present and prospective.
In view of the reduction in the
short interest which had already
occurred, il could hardly be said
that the advances in other indus
trials, where these took place to-
day, were the work of a bear
party" thoroughly frightened By
the disastrous lesson in Mexican
Petroleum. Rather they were II
be ascribed to a moderate resump-
ton of operations by some of the
pools which were active during
April and May, but who sought
cover temporarily while the reac-
ton was going on in the first fort
night OF June. Apart from the re-
lated Pan-American, which went VI
with the Mexican Petroleum, oil
shares were slow to respond to the
jump in the leader. This was the
more notable because of the ad-
vance of a cent a gallon in gaso-
line and kerosene prices started to-
day by the Sinclair Oil company
which, it is expected, will be fol
lowed by other refinerS. The prin-
cipal strength among the indus
trials was shown by the sugars, the
rubbers and tire shares, the mo
tors and certain independent spe
cialties while among the rails, the
features were Louisville and Nash,
vile. Southern Railway preferred
New York Central and Great North,

WHEAT BREAKS
SHARPLY after
HIGHER START
(By Consolidated Press. ,

Chicago, June 26.-Wheat broke
sharply after the start on selling
inspired by the general rains over
the dry spots of winter wheat and
spring wheat belt. The start was
higher on buying induced by the
stronger cables. Later it was re-
ported that some apprehension is
being felt over the possibility Of
the German political situation
causing some curtailment OF Ger
man purchases and may interfere
with payment of purchases already
made. TIE milling demand for
wheat was exceedingly slow and
there was only little export trade.
Wire reports are increasing in all
position and primary receipts were
over 100000 bushels. There was
a decrease of 2,612 900 bushels in
the visible supply and this had lit
tie effect on the market aside from
causing a few local shorts to cover.
Oats were affected by the wet
weather and the weakness in 9TH
er grains. Selling of long oats was
general, but the late months were
RECEIVING from support on the
break. There was little shipping
demand in evidence

CATTLE, SHEEP
VALUES BETTER;
HOGS ARE LOWER
(By Consolidated Press.)

u. S. Yards, Chicago, June 20
Holders of good cattle again start
ed asking better values today.
Supplies were light at all points.
Choice steers closed higher last
week, but other grades were down.
a supply of $4,000 was too much
for the hog trade today. Medium
grade aged muttons gained a little
in values last week and sellers look
for more improvement this week
on account of light runs expected.
Receipts today were estimated at
$4,000 cattle, 10000 hogs, $4,000
sheep and 5000 calves.
CATTLE.
Best steers found a good outlet
at strong values. Many prime
steers sold at $3.50, while the best
were placed at $40 or equal to the
high mark of the previous week.
Medium and plain grades were slow
and steady. Best cows sold well
at fully steady values, but here
also palmer grades were slow.
Gamers at s3.O0@3.25 for good lots
were about steady. Plain calves
were weak, but choice lots sold
about steady. Bulk of veal calves
went to packers at $7.25@8.00.
HOGS.
Hog trade was lower from the
start. Demand was slow for all
grades and the market was 10@15c
lower in many spots. Trading was
more active later in the day, how
ever, with the decline placed at so
15c, with heavy hogs taking most
of the drop. Prime light hogs sold
at S10.65@10.75. Bulk of 10 to 210
pound stock went at S10.55@10.65,
while 270@300 pound hogs sold at
$40. 25@10.55 for the bulk. Rough
packing hogs were off 15@25c late
in the day, with plain lots at $3.50
@S.75.

looked on. On a distant hillside
three women in starched summer
dresses furnished the only touch of
color.
The ministerial quartet sang
Nearer My God to Thee" read a
psalm, delivered a prayer and in an
abbreviated form of burial service
committed the bodies to the earth,
but omitted to commit the souls TO
God.
No mention of the dead, nor of
the manner of their death, was
made ct the graveside.
The brief service over, the min
listers hurried away to their await
ing flocks. The overall-clad min
ers shoveled the red clay over the
rough pine boxes. No flowers
graced the graves, but at the head
of each the undertaken stuck little
metal sign with a glass covered
card. On each card was a number
and the date June %, 1922" For
each numbered card the undertak-
er preserved a description of the
men buried beneath, if relatives
should appear to claim him.
In the afternoon Joe Picavish, a
union miner killed in the attack on
the mine, was buried. Five thou
sand miners marched behind u
band in his funeral cortege and 115
automobiles brought up the rear.
The state and federal investi-
gators worked far into the night
following clues which have reached
them. At l O'Clock this morning
they visited the Herrin hospital to
question Allen P. Findlay, Chicago,
time-keeper for the detective
agency which supplied the &c mine
guards. Findlay was in the front
rank when the mob marched its
victims into the death woods and
fell at the first volley, with As shot
gun pellets in his side. AS he lay
on the ground a miner with a re-
volver fired a shot through his
foot
Findlay told the investigators
and Colonel Samuel n. Hunter, Hi
nois national guard, that he could
recognize the leader of the execu-
ton squad and gave a partial de-
scription of an elderly, grey-haired
man, who took superintendent Nc
Dowell from the ranks before the
woods was reached and killed him.
