The afternoon session was one of
the best ever seen in district con-
vention. The whole session was Civ
en- over to the Woman's Missionary

gerald, district secretary, presided
with her usual grace and dignity. The

of Valdosta, on general literature.
The class in music was the singing
of that fine old hymn, 20 Zion Haste.

| Gle from Fitzgerald, presented most
interesting playlet, showing that a
real understanding of the needs of
the heather and the blessed JOY of
serving will overcome all objections
to foreign missions. Mrs. w. f.
Mott, in her own inimitable way,
conducted the primary school, with
Master Colon WestbelTy, junior
from Waycross, as the pupil. Colon
answered questions that many of the
grown-ups couldn't answer.

of the costumes came from the Apa-

WICkERSHAM TELLS HUSTON
 SOME INTERESTING FACTS
Anchorage Times)

Judge James Wickersham took occa- sion at the chamber of commerce ban Quet for Assistant Secretary of Com merce Huston to point out that while heads of departments and others were discussing the matter of appropria- tions of money for Alaska that they should place the sum of $57,000, 900 for constructing the Alaska railroad and the money being expended in oth- CT lines against the fact that Alaska had contributed to the wealth of the United States a sum equivalent to one billion dollars. Judge Wickersham stated some of the amounts as fol lows Seal industry, 100,000,00O; fish cries, $300,000, mining, $3O0,OOO,- 900; general trade, $400,000,OOO, these figures being approximate.
 Judge Wickersham said there never was a, time when the general public of the United States was so interested in Alaska and that we can now buliC with the assurance of permanency anc with a roseate outlook.

being the lowest since April %. Funds
were available outside the board at 3

augmented by payment of government

announced that the government would
withdraw to-day s12 ,00l,000 of the

tions; Railroad Securi.
ties Also Lose Ground

| Evidence that tho possibilities of
merger discussions as a basis for ad-
vancing the price Of the steel stocks
were for the moment exhausted was
seen yesterday in wave of realizing
sales in yesterdays market, as both
professional traders and the public
following in this speculation sought to
convert their paper profits into cash.
This process supplied the dominant
motive of the session, and news of ex-
tending operations in the industry and
rumors of an impending further up
ward revision of prices alike were en-
tirely passed by. In other financial
markets developments were less strik-
ing than in stocks, except that in cot
ton prices rose strongly, due to the
prevalence of wet weather and favor
able trade advices.
Closing quotations on the Stock Ex-
change revealed sufficient number Of
net advances to give an appearance Of
irregularity, but the trend, viewed
broadly, was toward lower levels, as
shown by loss of half point in the
average price of fifty stocks. Most pro-
nounced weakness was found in the
industrial group, but railroad shares
also lost ground. Of the steel stocks
only Lackawanna registered any ma
terial resistance to the decline, reach
ing at one time new peak above 80
and finishing with only a fractional
loss. Other stocks in this group, in
cluding United States Steel, fell from
slightly more than point to more than
points. Corresponding weakness was
seen in most of the other speculative
favorites.
Investment dealers reported some i'm
provement in the bond markets situa
ton, but this was not reflected in the
price movement of outstanding issues,
which continued uncertain. An Off
cial rate of 31s per cent for call money,
which was available in volume at 3 per
cent outside the exchange, failed
to extend material support in this di
roction.
The foreign exchanges at worst were
firm, and sterling and the principal Con-
tincntas were somewhat higher at the
close While there was little eXpecta
ton that the United States would ac
cept the invitation to participate, de-
cision to renew efforts at settlement of
the Russian question, even over Rus
sian objections, at q later conference
was regarded hopefully. Present levels
of the exchanges are seemingly being
maintained despite an increased bal
ance to the credit of the United States
in international trade, as revealed by
the governments report on foreign
commerce in April. The merchandise
balance rose substantially at the same
time that gold imports fell off.
The advance in cotton involved the
best gains in many sessions, technical
conditions fitting in with the receipt Of
news encouraging to the rise. The net
appreciation ranged from rs to 109
points. Dealings in wheat were re-
tarded by the prospect of intervention
by the Chicago Board Of Trade in
settlement of the May position. Re-
covery after early weakness left prices
from IS cent lower to Is cent higher.

Jugo.Slavian Financing.

Early hotation in this market Of a
loan to the government Of Jugo-Siavia
is anticipated, although the latest in
formation is that none Of the banking
syndicates competing for the issue has
yet succeeded in closing the business.
The loan project involves the sale
ultimately of $4,000 900 bonds Of the
Jugo-Slavian Government, the proceeds
Of which are to be used largely for
the development Of the company's
transportation system, but only from
100000 to $4,000 900 is expected
to be issued at this time. Aside from
the fact that the exact amount has not
been determined, the coupon rate is
still uncertain, it being understood
that there is as much as Il Of / per
cent. difference in the bids Of the
American bankers. Hallgarten & Co.
and Blair & Co.. Inc, are mentioned
most prominently in connection with
the business. Neither house as yet
feels sufficiently confident OF obtain
ing the loan to have undertaken the
formation of syndicate to handle its
distribution.

Steel Stocks React

Following their spectacular advances
in the closing market sessions of last
week the independent steel stocks suf-
fered yesterday a substantial setback.
There was nothing in the days news
to indicate that any hitch had occurred
in tho merger negotiations. AS a mat
ter of fact, progress was reported, and
further details are expected to be made
public to-day after the Bethlehem
Steel Lackawanna meeting and the cor
ference at the office of Kuhn, Loeb g.
