Dehation i'm Sweden

Issues Which Would Have Car.
ried Oh p. c. Last Year
Now Taken at 40 p. C.

STOCKHOLM, July %. "A striking
indication Of the rapid financial de-
fation movement, and of the ease of
the money market is furnished in the
fact that the city Of Gothenburg has
just issued municipal loan carrying
only IA per cent interest and total
ing 100000 kronor, redeemable dur
ing thirty-five years, while about a
year ago municipal issues of the same
kind were put out at 61a to Z per
cent. The present issue was absorbed
almost Immediately.
The ruthless liquidation and con-
solidaton process of the Swedi sh
banks, carried through since the begin
ming of 1921, is illustrated by the Off
cial report of the Swedish bank in
spection board, showing that the total
writing off during 1924 amounted to
no less than 190,000000 kronor, while
during 1920 only 100000 kronor were
written off The total capital of the
Swedish banks during the year de-
creased by about 62,000,000 kronor
while the net profits were reduced
from 1902 900 to 100000 kronor
The latest reports on the industrial
situation are on the whole favorable,
with the exception of the iron industry
About two months ago this industry
seemed to discern the Frightening OF
its prospects, which, however, was OF
more or less temporary character
The continued depression in this in
dustry is, however, counterbalanced by
a pronounced upward trend in other
key industries.

Grand Trunk Stock

BY privy Council
London Tribunal Dismisses
tn q Appeal Broug h t
Aga INST the Findings of
the Arbitration Board

CoSyf mt. 1872. New York Tribune Inc
LOT DON, July 28.~-Amounting to a
face value Of more than s37 600 900, the
first, second and third preference and
ordinary shares of the Grand Trunk
Railway of Canada have no value, the
Judicial committee of the Privy Coun-
Gil decided to-day, dismissing the APP
peal against the finding of the arbitra-
ton tribunal, which declared the stocks
worthless
1t will be recalled that former Presi-
dent Taft, who was a member of the
tribunal as the company's nominee, disr
sented from this majority finding. HIS
appraised the value of the stocks at
S4S 900 COO.
All dealings in the stocks ceased
after the decision. the effect Of which
is that 10000 investors, most of whom
are British, will be deprived of their
holdings without compensation unless
the Canadian government volunteers
same concession.
The boards decision was rendered in
Canada over the differences that arose
in determining what the Dominion gov
eminent should pay the stockholders
because of its purchase Of the system
Only the bare judgment was given
in to-day's finding. The reasons will
be announced later.
The main question involved in the
appeal was the correctness of the de-
cision Of the majority of the arbi-
traitors in excluding as inadmissible
the evidence OF the value of the physi-
cal assets of the Grand Trunk Rail
way Company and its subsidiary COM
panies. which was rendered by the ap-
peIlants.

Cotton Continues
To Advance on
Damage Reports
General Market C os g g
10 TO 25 Points Net
Higher Ate Selling
Up to a Gain of 30 Points

Bears in the cotton market failed to
withstand the numerous and wide
spread damage reports which poured
in from all sections yesterday and
prices rose at one time almost 30
points above the previous close and
we're finally 10 to 25 points net higher.
While the worst reports came from
the Southwest, where the crop, 1t Is
sad, is being seriously affected by very
high temperatures and drought, there
we're many from the eastern and ten
trail sections also, based on boil weevil
activity.
Some of these were sensational that
they failed to be taken seriously, but
many came from reliable and conservative
people and therefore made 8 considerable
impression upon sentiment. No relief was
indicated for the Southwest in the official
forecast which at the game time predicted
! scattered showers IN the Central and East
ern belts. where there has been too much
rain already.
The character OF buying improved some
what yesterday. Wall Street and uptown
interests taking cotton. while the South
confirm the Dear claims that damag GO news
was exaggerated. OF the several private
crop reports issued during the day the
condition figures ranged from II by
New Orleans house to 1873. OF the twelve
private reports thus far Issued this month.
the range conditions has been from
II to 75.3. while the range Of crop fndt-
cations has been from IL, $40, 600 bales to
12,229, 900 bales.
Improvement IN the labor situation
doubtless inspired some of the speculative
buying. which came mostly from profess
sonals however. as commission houses re-
ported very little outside business pending
the government report. Weekend figures,
as expected We're a little bullish, but ex
ports light and 1t was predicted by
member of an international house that the
Continent as a whole will continue to buy
spot cotton from hand to mouth for
long time to come,
An announcement was received here
from the Department of Agriculture that
the supplementary report TO be issued next
Tuesday will estimate damage done by
weevl up to July 25. but Will not affect
the condition figure. which fs on the So me
general basis former years.
Southern spot markets officially
ported were unchanged to rs points higher.
The local market for spot cotton quiet

A generally steadier tone prevailed
in broader and more, active trading on

at the close were small Stutz worked
up to 24,' but fell back later, showing
a fractional gain for the day.
Cities Service continued it's decline,
but most of the oils displayed q
steadier tone. Standard of Indiana
held firm. Southern States Oil fell
back fractionally, although the an
nouncement that the company was ac-
curing control Of Verland Oil & Gas
Company with it's twelve producing
wells was regarded as n favorable
factor.

Strength on active buying of rail-
road and local traction securities stood
out as the most conspicuous element
In Yesterdays session of the bond mar
ket. The rise in the bonds of the car
riers, which was distributed indis-
criminately among underlying and
Junior issues, was associated with the
better prospects OF strike settlement,
while the advance of traction bonds
was based upon current favorable
earnings and progress of adjustment
of marlborough Manhattan Elevated
relations. Liberty bonds were quieter
but prices for the most part held up
fairly we'll in this division. Foreign
government securities were subject TO
only moderate changes.
