NEW YORK. July 3.-There was
no expectation of an active market
for speculative stocks in a day
sandwiched in between two holi.
days. and the performance OF the
stock market, in the early trading
at least. was fully up to expecta-
tions. While there was little or
no outside buying demand for the
wares offered in the big speculative
mart. there was also an absence
OF selling pressure. and thus the
market for considerable periods was
completely deadlocked. and failed
either direction.
Today's activity in the first Pc
riod was confined most largely to
the motor and speciality stocks, all
of which showed particularly good
form. Coca Cola continued the ad-
vance which featured it's course on
Saturday, and made a new high
record for the year at 73&; Dupont.

ent pulling of the strings from the

lead OF nearly IL points. AS a new
conner to the board. Dupont was
introduced at lis, from which 1t
was pushed UP to 147, declined to
1875. and then sent forward again
for exhibition purposes. There 10
only a thin market for this stock,
as the trading records will show.
Studebaker opened n point
higher at l2s% and sold up to
129A under a heavy turnover. all
things considered. General Motors
sold in l,0O0.block lots around Is.
and was particularly strong and
active. Maxwell Motors "A" stock
was over a point higher at 67A
while the "B" stock gained half a
point at 24k.
New York Central was the only
railroad stock to show any rallying
tendencies in the early trading. 1t
opened at 95 for a gain Of / point,
but was sold down TO 94h in the
first hour. Baltimore and Ohio lost
nearly a point at 4S%. Rock Island
was q lower at 42h, Union Pacific
off u at 1891. Erie was unchanged
NJ 10Y, 81 dui piSlciicu pOAhb

The inactivity Of the steel stocks
was indicated in the fact that up to
10:40 not a sale had been recorded
in U. s. Steel. Lackawanna.. Beth

equally inactive. Copper stocks re-
Elected the improving conditions in
that trade, Anaconda, Utah and
Chile being conspicuously strong and
active.
A good deal Of attention in the
morning session was directed TO the
published statements Of opposing
factions in the coal and railroad
labor situation. The strikers have
won the first round in the with,
drawal OF their men from duty. but
the roads claim a greater victory in
being able to run their trains on
time. Opening call money rates

Bad Check Law.

A good deal of credit is due to the
Washington Association of Credit
Men, which, after a long and hard
fight, has been successful III getting
q bad check bill through Congress.
the House and Senate having agreed
to the report of the conferees on the
bill last week, and 1t Is expected that
the President will sign the measure
this week.
Special credit is given by members
of the association to r. Preston
Shealey, secretary. whose efforts re-
suited in getting action on the bill
after 1t had been In conference since
December. 1921.
While the bill as passed by Con-
gress bears the number OF Senate
I033, it is the bad check bill of the
tshington Association of Credit
Nj IN, since the measure introduced
by Congressman Zihlman at the
instance of the Washington Asso-
citation of Credit Men, II. r. 63O7,
was substantially substituted for
Senate 1893, the latter bill, however,
retaining its number. The essential
difference between the two bills is
that the bill Of the Washington Asso-
ciation contained a five-day grace
period. while the other bill did not.
The bill as passed, Senate 1893, has
the five-day grace period. AS soon
as the bill is signed by the President
and is printed in the shape OF a law,
the Secretary will send to each Of
the members a copy of same.
Senate 1893 passed the Senate on
October Z, 1921. In the House, the
bill introduced by Congressman Zihl-
man was substituted for the text of
Senate 1893, to which changes the
Senate objected and asked for a con-
ference on December 16. 1921, which
was granted, and the bill was sent
to conference. Most OF the opposi.
ton on the part of the conferees
came from Senator King of Utah,
but this Senator was finally con-
WINGED through the efforts OF the
credit men that this measure is
needed in the District.

Squeezing the waste out Of Ameru(
lean industry is a task the Depart
ment of Commerce Is undertaking.
Many Of our industries, many
more of our businesses. believe that
we are suffering from too great va
riety in almost every article Of COM

vision of the department, made pub
lie today, by William A. Durg:n,
chief of the division. He adds:
Leading men in widely different
fields agree that the reduction OF
variety, the simplifying Of industry
and commercial practice in any line.l
will secure some or all OF these q
vantages:
Decrease stocks. production cost
selling expenses. MISUNDERSTANDING
all costs to user, including initial al
cessory and maintenance costs.
Increase turnover, stability OF en-
ployment, promptness OF delivery

This Is Aim OF Division.
That. in brief. is what the dcpar

tary Hoover has established the ds'
vision to serve as a centralizina
agency in bringing producers, dis
tributors and users and to supposJ
the recommendation Of these inter-

upon simplifications Of benefit to all
concerned.
The division is concerned solely
with finding and supporting the best
thought and practice Of the interest
ed industry. In no way does IT make
pretense Of technical knowledge, nor
attempt to determine simplificaticns
which the industry should adopt.
Already simplification has been
taken up with more than seventy in
dustrial classes. Trade standards
for two of these already have been
established, as the result of confer
ences held by the division.
The first two to be standardized
were paving brick and sleeping
equipment, bedsteads. springs and
mattresses. Before simplification
was undertaken there were sixty-stX
sizes and types OF paving brick
manufactured These have been re.
Bed sizes, through simplification,
have been reduced to a standard

have been adopted by the trade

poisoning. He was compelled to take
treatment there ON Friday. A boil
caused infection and the poison en-

In commenting on this information,
Mr.. Heen says:
while the total amount paid pa
irons, as we'll as other totals in the
cash account, shows considerable of a
change in 1921 as compared with 1920,
which change may not appear to be
particularly in favor of the patrons,
we should bear in mind that the cost
of practically all items that enter into
the production of cream has been ma
terially reduced since 1920,-that is,
the cost of care and feed was less dur
ing 1921 than during the period of
higher prices, which leads me to feel
assured that the actual, net return to
the patron, taking into account the
costs, is still really we'll worth while,
and much better return for money
and labor expended than he has re-
ceived from any other source"
