Spectators: Sterling Firm

Until toward the close Of trading
quest of rising quotations prevailed
along the same lines as on the previous
day. Then the upward movement was
checked. and during the last half hour
combination Of protit-taking sales and
short selling more than wiped out the
previous gains for the day of both in
dustrial and railroad shares.
The reaction came after the an
nouncemcnt that an involuntary pc
tition in bankruptcy had been filed
against the United States Food Prod
ucts Corporation, the shares Of which
declined to 35s and closed at 3a., off
l ls points. Ordinarily news of this
character would rot be likely to dis
turb tie whole market. particularly
since it had been known for some time
that the company was confronted with
genuine obstacles. However, the init
ative in yesterdays market was so
largely in the hands Of profes sional
speculators that the incident was used
as prcteXt for making quick turn
Before the setback railroad shares
were conspicuous in the upturn, and
there is an increasing tendency to look
favorably upon the speculative posi-
bilities Of the railroad stocks. The
attitude is not result of the Dccem-

rendered somewhat misleading by the
necessities Of making end-of.th year

New Havcn's Maturity

An offer Of extension at higher
interest rate or arrangement Of an ad
ditional loan from the government are
the two alternatives open TO tho New
York. New Haven e. Hartford Railroad
Company in handling the maturity on
April Of tho so-called European loan
Of 1907, in tho opinion OF bankers in
touch with the railroad investment
situation They expressed the opinion
yesterday that rcfunding operation
as distinct from an offer Of extension
would be impracticable even should the
decision in the division Of rates case
be favorable to the New Haven, as cx-
pectcd. The bankers of the road have
so far figured only incidentally in dis
cussions regarding the maturity, the
principal negotiation being between
the company and the government,
which ranks among its largest credi-
tors. The outcome Of this negotiation
will, it Is anticipated, determine the
form the application to the Interstate
Commerce Commission will take.

United States Food Products

The Street was disposed to attribute
the bankruptcy proceedings against
United States Food Products as the
final blow of prohibition. Upon enact
ment of the Volstead act the company
gave up its whisky business and under
took the manufacture of food products.
For a time profits were satisfactory,
but with the business depression came
adverslty, which was never overcome.
An effort was made last fall to tide
the company over its difficulties by an
extension Of banking loans, but appar-
emily this was only putting of the evil
day Following the announcement OF
the filing of the petition in bankruptcy
the stock broke to the new low record
Of 3As. This compared with q high
price for 1920 above 7S.

Sterling at S4.3o

Italian Revenues Increase

Improvement in the financial posi-

its commission here from the Minister
Of Commerce, setting forth the in
crease in revenues resulting from en-
forccment Of severcr taxation meas

Of this fiscal year ended December 81,
have been 20o 100000 lire higher than
for the corresponding period Of the
previous fiscal year. Different sources
of income made possible this improve
mcnt, the greatest increase being IN
direct taxes, which yielded 620,ooo,ooo
lire more than in l920-'2f. Taxes on

Rail Stocks Favored

A feature of the recent strength IN
the stock market has been the fre-
quency with which one hears "bull
tips" on the rails. Il is said that big
operators who for the last several
years have confined their market &C
tivities mainly to the industrials are
now turning their attention TO the
railroad stocks Among the speculative
favorites are named Chicago, Milwau-
kee &. St. Paul preferred and Chicago
e. Northwestern. The latter sold up
to 67as yesterday, but lost all its
earlier gain before the close.

Gold Imports Exchange Factor

Importatons of gold. which for a
period showed a substantial decline,
have lately been on an ascending scale
and arc regarded By international
bankers as an important factor in the
advance OF the foreign exchange
market A shipment valued at approx
mately S2.5o0,OOo arrived yesterday
from Sweden, consigned to the Ma
tional City Bank. and several minor
consi ignmcnts from other sources were
reported The gold from Sweden is
presumably OF Russian origin and
moro is expected. Gold is also COM
ing from the Transvaal mines via Lon
don and an intermittent movement
from Australia is regarded as prob
able. These shipments considerably
reduce foreign requirements for dol
lars in connection with current trade
transactions, purpose which foreign
financing in the United States also
serves.

Storey Explains Atchison's Budget

W. B. Storey, president of the Atchi-
son, Topeka g. Santa Fe. who was in
New York yesterday attending meet
ing of directors, said that although the
company's 1922 budget calls for an eX-
penditure of more than $42,00O,000 ap-
proximately S1l,00o,0o0 of that total
represents the customary carry yover
from last year for work authorized but
not completed. Mr. Storey expressed
the belief that the carryover for this
year would be about the same as last,
SO that it will be possible to spend only
from $32.000,000 to $33000,000 out of
the total budget He asserted that it
will not be necessary for the Atchison
to do any financing of public char
acter to raise the money for this years
budget. "The Atchison," he said, "has
a substantial amount of cash in its
treasury and Liberty bonds which can
be sold, while a reasonable amount can
be taken from this years earnings"
