A WeIOh Poet Miner.

HuW Menai Williams is Wales poet1 miner, who bids fair to bring Welsh literature to the attention of the AnElO-Saxon world. Born in Carnar- vOnshire, Williams has been a coal miner at GlamOrgan since he was six teen. His work has therefore been en- tirely inspired among the sOrdid sur rOundings of a mining town. Intel, Iectually, he is a self-made man. The remarkable thing about Williams verse is that it is written in English -an acquired language for him and one that he has no extraordinary com mand nf His book, "ThFOugh the Up cast Shaft" is causing a furore in EnglRnd.-FrOm ArgOraut.

what this means in the return of public
confidence, especially among smaller
and more inexperienced investors, is
hard to realize. Many buyers OF Lib
working Of economic laws, SO that as
Liberty bonds declined many felt that
somehow they had been "bamboo.led
by the government. Those who held on
during the years since the war have
every reason now to be entirely satis-
fled
The general forward movement Of the
bond market during the week was ex-
tenuated by an announcement OF the
United States treasury department OF
Indebtedness, bearing s1a per cent in
terest, or a reduction of !. Of per cent
from the last offering. This recognition
by the government OF easy money con-
ditions was quickly reflected in all
bonds on the STOCK exchange and the
largest volume of transactions for a
year was recorded.
Foreign Loans Strong
Foreign government loans were strong
throughout the week and prices at the
close were higher throughout the list
with an average gain OF about half a
point. The Czecho-Slovakia 8's brought
out week or SO ago at 96A closed with
a gain of about 31a points from the Of
fering price. French tbs were around
1o3N, while the French S's hovered
around 10712. New foreign financing
for this week includes an offering of
American Line. These bonds run for Is
years, are in denominations of 250O
guilders each tat par of exchange s1o05)
and were offered at 80 flat. to yield $50
to maturity and $50 If redeemed In
1927.
New financing for the week totalled
around S65.0O0,000. the largest offering
being SIS 5,0o0.0 900 province of Ontario SIS.
Next in line Were Public Utilities with
about S16,OoO,0o0 of new issues and
municipals with around S11 100000. In
dustrials ran around So 10000 and equip
ment trusts around S4,0oOo00. One rea-
son for this small volume of new stuff
is the attitude of the borrowers toward
holding off for even lower interest rates
The steady upward movement in the
market has led to a marked curtail-
ment in new borrowings, apparently
because the future looks SO favorable.

WEEKLY GRAIN REVIEW.

Chicago. April 22-Skyrocketing prices
this week have accompanied reports
that extreme difficulty might be felt IN
the filling Of huge outstanding con-
tracts for May delivery Of wheat. Com
pared with a week ago. the wheat mar
ket Saturday morning showed gains
varying from i2c to Ii &c bushel, the
chief rise being for May. Other net
advances for the week were: Corn Y q
u to lssc; oats a shade to y a &c, pro-
visions Z to 40c.
The biggest advance for a single day
in the wheat market was about 8 cents
Nervousness among traders, however
was by no means confined to that oc-
casion, and was often apparent at other
times. When less sensational news In
the market were in progress, topmost
prices reached were very close to the
high record for May wheat this year,
81 .495s.
During the upward sweep OF values
considerable notice was taken of asser-
tions that the 35 cents duty on wheat
seemed to be favorably in keeping with
Canadian shipments.
Efforts to attract wheat from Kan
sas City and Omaha to provide un-
limited storage facilities in railroad cars
on tracks here.
Uncertainty over developments at the
Genoa economic conference had a fre-
quent tendency to depress the wheat
market, but breaks which ensued failed
to last. Heavy profit taking sales by
holders of wheat were also responsible
for numerous transient downturns.
Corn. oats and provisions reflected in
minor way the strength of wheat.

nrecedine days of the week. Sales
amounted to 7s5,o0o shares.
Except for the increase IN the number

the further appreciation of market
prices. Steels derived much OF their
strength from circumstantiai rumors OF
mergers and the new maximum record

Buying Of the fractions was said to be

" on the belief that events In that quar-
ter are shaping towards settlement
of differences between the transit com
mission and the operating companies.
Foreign exchanges were responsive to
the more encouraging outlook at Genoa,
as received by bankers In private ad-
vices. British remittances rose to their
best quotations Of the week, France and
Italy were equally strong, and the Ger
man marks were also strong.
The interesting feature of the clear
ing house weekly statement was the ma
tional expansion of loans in the face of
demand for funds. Actual
loans and discounts increased by barely
more than S26,000,OOO or slightly less
than $60, 100000 for the last fortnight.

ACTIVITIES
IMPROVE DURING WEEK

IMPROVE DURING WEEK
BY Weus-Dickey Company
Further Improvement in the indus
trial activities of the country took place
during the week. and In certain lines
as for instance, iron and steel, produc.
tion is now reaching up toward capac
ity figures. Confidence seems to be
stronger than at any time since the re.
covery started, the coal strike still be.
ing ignored as factor of adverse pos
stbility. There has been a hint from
the steel industry that supplies Of Goa
not only were insufficient to provide a
basis for further expansion. but that
actual curtailment might be necessary
Other than this the effect of the coal
strike seems to have been nil, with the
single exception of some railways which
have been tapping the coal fields. and
which have been suffering from a cut
ting off Of freight.
The automobile industry Is thriving
and there has been a recovery in other
lines indicated by the resumption OF
dividends in several cases by companies
that abandoned disbursements when
financial complications arising as an
aftermath OF war became so acute.
No Benefits From Genoa
The foreign situation as whole
seems to be improving although as yet
any Of the benefits which 1t was hoped
might accrue. This Is not particularly
strange because the conference has
been in session only a week and with
the sharp differences OF opinion which
existed at the outset there could hardly
be any working agreements negotiated
for some time. Developments during
the last few days indicating an extreme
lack of harmony among the nations In
volved seem to support President
Harding's contention that the chief rea-
son for the United States declining to
participate was that the conference
promised to be more political than
economic.
One of the first economic questions
which must come up for settlement is
that Of balancing the foreign budgets,
either through curtailment Of expendi-
ture or through the increase of income.
OF these two methods the former seems
more practical because taxes in the fin
ancfally distressed nations are already
nearing the breaking point. The de-
cies can never be overcome effectively
so long as foreign nations continue :
spend more than they receive and to
make up the deficit through the oper-
ations Of the printing press. Neither
can confidence from investing portions
long as foreign exchange remains in
its present chaotic condition. The
world Is watching eagerly the settle
ment of this tremendous problem.
The Bond Market
The bond market OF the past week
will be memorable for the return of
Liberty bonds to par. at which figure
they were originally sold to the invest
level in May. 1890, when the third and
fourth four and one-quarters sold at
$3.50 and 50. respectively Market val
ues have increased since then more
than S2,ooo,ooo from the low. Exactly

WEEKLY BUTTER REVIEW.

Chicago. April 22.--Recent cold. rainy
weather throughout the producing sec
tions has checked production and re-
tarded the movement of butter to the
markets to the extent of causing sup
plies 10 become SO low as to be barely
sufficient to supply buyers regular
needs during the week ending Saturday.
AS a result, the markets were gener-
ally firm and active enough to clean
UP receipts on arrival. There was a
general tendency toward higher prices
with an occasional short period OF east
ness on some of the markets.
Despite adverse weather conditions,
reliable reports Indicate a small in
crease In the market, both over previ-
GUS weeks and the same period last
year. The effect Of this increase on the
larger markets, however, have been
partly counteracted by a retarded
movement OF butter to the markets.
Fancy butter on all the markets was
quite readily taken on arrival and the
demand for undergrades was unusually
good.

WEEKLY FINANCIAL REVIEW

New York, April 22-Continuance OF
the boom In the stock market this week
carried the average price Of rails and
high grade steels. equipments. motors
and oils to new maximums on daily
sales ranging from 100000 to about
100000 shares. Increased pubic par
tictpation was balanced at intervals by
heavy selling for profits, but reactions
were moderate save in several of the
Underlying domestic rails and utili-
ties were decidedly strong.
In the open market call loans ruled
throughout at 81 per cent. Relaxed
tendencies were noted in short time
rates. bank acceDtances and gilt edged
commercial paper.
The coal strike seemed to enter only
casually into the calculations of trad
ers, although advices from Industrial
centers reported curtailment Of opera
tions due to scarcity Of fuel and fur
ther shutting down Of nonunion mines.
Bankers reported an expansion of the
demand for bonds. This found its chief
outlet in the large subscriptions to un-
derwrite. foreign and domestic amount

GRAIN AND PROVISIONS

Chicago, April GA bullish con-
struction placed upon the Kansas state
crop report, which was followed by
some buying, caused wheat prices to
advance sharply Saturday. The ad-
vance vas not held, however. because ra {.

wheat was strong. Wheat ranged l to

in the early trading in sympathy with

strued as bullish.

cast for increasing cloudiness with low
