Now Issucs Hard TO Buy

Representatives of leading invest
mcnt houses say that it is becoming
more and more difficult to buy new is
sues. The reasons for this state OF
affairs are numerous and varied. The
advancing market tends toward post
ponement of new financing. The needs
Of corporations and other borrowers
are less pressing than a short time
ago, floating indebtedness has in most
instances been pretty well cleaned up
and the requirement. for new capital
has not yet appeared. British compc-
tition for foreign loans is severe and
is steadily becoming moro keen. Local
~, the number of houses bidding for
issues has increased. Borrowers gen
orally prefer to maintain relations with
their traditional bankers but the sub
mission of several bids makes them
wary of accepting any one of them.
The only relief from this situation is
expected to develop from a setback to
the market which always serves to
bring several loan negotiations to the
state Of frution.

Foreign Exchange Lower

Sterling did not make new high
record for the year yesterday. The
leader Of the foreign exchange mar
ket, on the contrary, was inclined to be
rcactionary, with other exchanges on
the principal European centers follow
ing suit. The check to the advance,
whether temporary or otherwise, oc
CURED in q relatively narrow market
and was traced to news definitely fore
casting a postponemcnt, probably for
several months, of the Genoa confer
ence. This postponement was not un-
expected, but coupled with this news
was the suggestion that the reply Of
the United States to the invitation to
participate in the meeting would go
forward shortly. AS was the case pre-
viously when the reply was anticipated.
the influence Of the suggestion was to
create uncertainty and unsettlement.

Shipping Finance

The Administration plan for ship
ping subsidy has TO date aroused hard :
ly more than academic interest in
banking circles, although it is rccog-
nized that its adoption and successful
operation will probably open up an al
most untouched field of investment
finance. The future of the American
merchant marine is held to depend
upon the assurance OF fair return to
the ship owner, whether an individual
or corporation, and the details Of the
plan will be reviewed from that stand.
point: The transfer Of the govern
ment's fleet to private ownership and
operation, bankers pointed out yester-
day, will necessitate considerable q
financing and this will require the ere
alton of confidence on the part of the
investor. The few ventures in ship
ping finance undertaken by bankers
during the after-war boom in the in
dustry did not turn out particularly

Another decrease in the number Of

an Important Measure
of Underlying Strength

Prices OF stocks yesterday ranged
without uniformity of trend in an ac-
I've market, but through all the varied
movements aud despite an appearance
Of irresularity there was still dis
cornible an important measure OF
underlying strength Buying and
selling we're seemingly governed by
increased consideration OF the pros
rects Of Individual companies or
groups Of companies and reflected d
larger measure of discrimination than
during preceding sessions of the week.
This WAS true of the stocks in which
price fluctuations were most marked
and without reference to the list at
large. The great body OF stocks dis
played a. the outset an advancing
tendency which was dissipated sub
soquontly by profit taking. The close
was irregular. The turnover for the
day was in excess of $4,000 shares
A sharp break in Republic Iron and
steel at the opening following the
passage after the close of Thursdays
market Of tho regular dividend on the
preferred stock furnished clew to the
dominant characteristic of the session
Weakness in the issues of this com
pany extended TO other independent
steel stocks, but was neglected as
determining influence in the market
United Retail Stores furnished another
example Of an isolated soft spot as
sociated in this instance with dividend
prospects rather than action already
taken Baldwin Locomotive, in con
trast, was run up to new high on the
movement, while railroad and motor
stocks were conspicuously we'll bought.
Pool operations, as in the case of
Rock Island, contributed to the ad-
vance Of these shares
The foreign exchanges turned re
dictionary. Abandonment of the ad-
vance was signalized by the receipt of
lower quotations from London at the
opening and the decline was later
stressed by the report of definite de-
cision TO postpone the international
financial meeting at Genoa. Deferment
OF this congress is disappointing to
those whose hopes had been raised of
an early disposition of existing prob
lems but from the standpoint Of
ultimate achievement may be consid-
cred as constructive In that it will give
time for tho nations concerned to
formulate their programs. Acceptance
by the market of tho news as an un-
settling factor was accentuated by the
forecast of statement of tho Ameri-
can position next week. The net re-
action extended to more than a cent in
sterling and carried francs below 8
cents again.
In the commodity market the price
trend was downward, although in wheat
a rally was staged just before the close
that largely offset early losses. A gen
eral wave of selling was checked by
favorable developments IN export busi-
ness and from levels more than 2ls
cents below Thursdays final quotation
prices recovered at the finish to range
from = cent off 30 y cent higher on
the day. Technical considerations CON
trolled the course of the cotton mar
het, which registered net losses of

Greater Demand for Money

An important factor operating to
prevent any undue easement of the
call money loan rate has been the grad
ual increase in demand for speculative
funds as activity in the stock mar
ket has broadened and prices have ad-
vanced. The movement has not vet
reached proportions where any marked
expansion in brokers' needs has oc-
CURED, but the increase has been suf-
cleht TO attract the attention of bank
ers. The current disposition is to bor-
row on call rather than on time. be-
cause of the prospect of lower rates
in the near future.

The facts, briefly. and In general

quadrupie alliance. are these:
There existed between Great
Britain and Japan an Offensive and
defensive alliance. under which
Great Britain's colonies were chafng
and the termination OF which many
prominent Englishnen. like North
cline. were demanding.
Japan wished continuance of
this alliance. and English statesmen
were sorely troubled. The confer
ence met and Japan delayed tho
contamination OF the naval ratio
proposed by Secretary Hughes. we
knew about the naval ratio because
this was announced publicly We
did not know about the treaty be-
cause II was conceived and agreed to
In secrecy. Apparently the British
Japanese alliance was u subject OF
discussion. and Japan insisted, IL it
were to be abrogatcd. upon some
thing as good and got something
better"

discuss measures by which the pur
chasing power OF the farmer will be

In making this announcement. Wal
lace expressed the belief that tho
President personally will deliver an
address Of welcome, outlining the
purposes and hopes vested In the
meeting.
The list of those who will attend

not all received. but Secretary Wal
lace anticipates completing the list
within the next few days. IL is under
stood.
In accordance with the Presidents
wishes, as set forth in his letter to
Secretary Wallace. the delegates to
the conference Will represent not only
the agricultural interests OF the ma
tion, but also the various interests
which are intimately associated with
agriculture in the transportation,
marketing and distribution of farm
products.

generally accepted as representing
the public Will be invited. II is IN
derstood.
The limit Of attendance has not
been fixed by Secretary Wallace, be-
cause he has indicated that his chief
