LlseRlAN LOAN KILLED

With the latest election a month
past an dthe next some two years dis

feels somewhat free to permit the de.
feat of legislation which was propos-
ed largely as bid for American ne

The resolution authorizing loan OF
$4,000, 900 to Liberia, the "black" re.
public in Africa, has been shelved,
with the help of standpat Republic

Indiana; Cameron, OF. Arizona; Mich

and Harreld. ;, of Oklahoma.
The Dyer anti-lynching bill, which
also was used as a bait fort negro
votes in the recent election, is yet on
the calendar of the senate. having
passed the house last spring. There
is not much prospect that this bill will
be passed at the special session of
congress. or at all
When the exigencies Of the Lext
presidential campaign oblige, the Re-
publicans. it is expected, will devise
another legislative program designed
to attract and delude the negroes.
Meantime, since there are not votes
to be obtained by such decoys as the
Liberian loan and the anti-lynching
bill they are pretty certain to be pig
eonholed indefinitely.

Royal Duteh-cosden Merger Rumo,

Concerted buying Of Cosden shares
yesterday. which carried the price Of
the stock three points higher than
Wednesdays last sale, was connected
with reports that negotiations are am
der way for the acquirition Of the com
pany by the Royal Datch-SheH group.
Significance was attached to the fact
that several representatives of the for
eign oil combine, who have been IN the
United States inspecting oil properties,
have returned 10 Europe and will be
followed next week by some Of ahe
Cosden executives. The point was
stressed in the days comment that
ownership Of Cosden would work in
we'll with the plans Of the Royal Dutch
interests in this country, especially be-
cause Of its large refining facilities. In
addition the company has substantial
crude oil production of its own. about
10000 barrels daily, which is connected
by it's own pipe line with It's 10000.

suggested an exchange of Cesden for

Liberty Bonds Turn Upward Again

While the recovery of Liberty bond
prices from their recent low levels has
not yet reached important proportions
investment bankers sensed from their
action yesterday, when thew were
stronger than in many sessions that
they had definitely turned upward once
more. Their rebound is attributed to
the moderation of the bonus legisla-
ton threat and, in greater degree, to
the influence of prices recorded at re-
cent sales of tax-exempt securities
Thus the prices paid for the State of
oregon and Porto Rico issues repre-
sent virtually the peak for this class of
securities, and further effect was given
to this evidence of strength yesterday
by the marking up of the price on New

Motor Accessory Stocks

Continuation of heavy demand for
motor cars into the fall beyond expec-
tations earlier in the year is having it's
effect on the business of the motor ac-
cessory companies. A director of the
Martin Parry Company stated yester-
day that its sales of bodies are running
about rs per cent ahead of last year
and there has been no pronounced sea-
sonal slump, although the company
ordinarily expects one at this time He
pointed out, however, that the dollar
volume is smaller than last year per
auto body, but that the total sales
in dollars is we'll ahead of 1921, be-
cause of the big increase in quantity
sales. Another illustration of the big
business being done by the accessory
companies was found in the resumption
of dividends at the annual rate of 81
a share by the Stromberg Carburetor
Company. The American Bosch Mag
neto Company is facing an unexpected
heavy demand for magnetos from truck
and farm machinery manufacturers.
