New York, Nov. 12.-Price changes
in bond quotations this week were so
small on the average as to be without
meaning. On November / the average
price of 40 representative bonds was
s9.4l, and on Nov. 8 average for same
bonds 1913. Certainly there is nc in
dication here of any definite trend.
Many factors are to be taken into
consideration IN any estimate of the
future. First, there is the needs of
the government. Undoubtedly next
month the treasurey department must
do some sort of financing. The pros
poets of its being able to float a long
term bond issue with a 4 per cent
coupon seems very slight with the new
treasury AS as we'll as all the older
issues selling below par. 1t is even
uncertain what kind of a reception
would be accorded a new offering on a
4A basis, notwithstanding the large
oversubscription to the last issue.
This leaves the issue of short term
paper as the only Such an
operation might not depress the bond
market, but it certainly would not
help it.
The outlook is for no great change
from present quotations so far as
money goes. On the one hand general
business is absorbing more and more
capital, Of course the general bank
ing situation is so strong that there is
no reason to anticipate much higher
rates. This would tend to leave bond
prices about where they are.
Meanwhile, the foreign situation at
once excepted. all signs point to rea-
sonabIy good business this winter and
coming spring. No one expects a
boom No one can see any indication

The Montana crop report. issued to-
day from State college. shows a de-
crease from earlier estimates IN the
states crops of more than half a mil
lion bushels of corn, of $50, 900 bushels
of potatoes. and 2SS,0O0 bushels of flax,
while an increase of $4,000 bushels is
shown in the estimates of the apple
crop for the state.
Corn-Tbe average yield per acre
of corn for the state is placed at 70
bushels. making the preliminary esti-
mate 100000 bushels for Montana:
Last year the harvested crop was placed
at 2.560,0 900 bushels. A greater pro
portion of the crop this year will likely
be husked and fed as grain, and a con-
siderable acreage will be hogged off.
The preliminary estimate for the
United States corn crop is 2,s96. 10s,-
600 bushels. against 3~.0So,572,o0Q bush
els for 1921. and 2.S30.942 600 bushels
for the five-year {1916-20l average.
Weights per bushel of Montana small
grains average as follows: Winter
wheat, 60.3; spring wheat, 60; oats, 30:
barley. 40. A recent report issued by
the department shows hat Montana
spring wheat is far ahead Of that Of

will fall in the No. i grade. This an
incates that Montana wheat deserves
the premium that it usually gets.
Flax
Flax-In spite of some acreage which
not harvested, and the damage by
hoppers, the state average yield per
acre for flax is 6 bushels. compared
to ) bushels last year. The preiim-
mary estimate of the state crop is L.
$4,000 bushels. compared TO 1,125,00O
bushels last year. The quality is high
this year. exceeding that for last year.
The United States flax crop is better
this year, the preliminary estimate be-
ing L .101. 900 bushels. compared to
$4,000 bushels in 1921, and TO TO-
972. 900 bushels for the five-year (l916-
201 average.
Potatoe@Reports indicate that
yields were quite generally below ex-
pectations, and the average yield for
the state is estimated at 126 bushels
per acre indicating q total production
of 6,1I4.000 bushels. Last years crop
was estimated at 5,060,0 900 bushels. The
quality is quite uniformly good this
year. A considerable acreage has been
harvested, and many spuds have been
stored in pits and cellars, which is
true of several other western states.
Low prices and car shortages seriously
curtailed shipments from this region.
Up to October 81. 400 cars had been

Wheat prices have sagged back some
what from their late high, but have
retained the greater part of their re-
cent gains. 1t would appear that
these gains were caused largely by for
eign buying, which has now been sus-
pended on account of the foreign ex-
change situation. Pronounced weak

Dublin, June 16.-Voters of South
ern Ireland went to the polls today to
elect an Irish parliament as provided
for under the terms of the Anglo-Irish
treaty.
The Anglo-Irish treaty, signed last
December, under which the Irish Free
State is being created, passed by the
British Parliament in March, stipulat-
ed that elections to provisional par
lament for the Free State should be
held i'as soon as may be" after the
passage of the act. These are the
elections being held in Ireland today.
The parliament so elected is to pass
upon the constitution of the Free
State under which a permanent par
lament for southern Ireland will be
chosen.
Lacking any constitutional division
of the country into districts for the
present election, the act of the British
Parliament stipulated that the pros
pective members be nominated from
the constituencies which elected mem
bers to the parliament chosen under
the government of ireland act of 1920.
Elections were held in Southern Ire
land that year under the act, but the
parliament never came into being. In
stead the members elected were de-
clared by the Irish. Republican gov
ernment at that time to constitute the
membership of the Dali Eireann, or
Republican Parliament, which, since
the adoption of the. .Anglo-Irish treaty,
has been allowed by the British gov
ernment to function as virtually the
recognized legislative body for South
ern Ireland It was the Dali Eireann
which passed upon the Anglo-Irish
treaty itself, ratifying it, as will be re.
called, by a majority of seven votes.

The Hague, June 16.-The Hague
mating political figures who guided
the courses of the International gath
erings at Genoa and Washington, is
destined to bring into the limelight
another and younger group of leaders
as representing the great powers.
They include Sir Phillip Lloyd
Graeme, of England; M. Benoist,
France; Baron Avezzano, Italy; NJ
Sato. Japan; NJ Cattier Belgium and
M. Van Karnebeek, Holland and al
ready they have begun their efforts
to shape the course of the conference.
At their initial private meeting last
night they decided upon the scheme
of main Russian commission, with
three sub-commissions, which will
give detailed study of the technical
questions of credits, debts, and treat
ment of private property owned by
foreigners in Russia, which must later
be negotiated with the Russians. The
details of this project were to be sub
mitted at today's session of the con-
ference.
Meanwhile the war between the
press correspondents and Dutch Off
cialdom over the right of the former
to enter the Peace Palace where the
conference sits, is affording great
amusement /, to the visitors here, as
well as a good laugh to many phleg-
matte Hollanders' who, like the people
of other lands, like to see bureaucratic
methods smashed Occasionally. - The

cided Success.
L. M. M'KINNON TO HEAD
NEW ORGANIZATION.
j. E. Ferguson is Elected Secre-
tary and Treasurer; w. n.

dent and J. H. E. Dimon, Sec
ond Vice President.

Those responsible for the meeting
of the agricultural interests of Glynn
county yesterday were gratified at the
turn matters took and the result was
which will have for it's object further
ing of farming, stock raising, poultry
breeding, in fact, any and everything
connected with the farm and the rur-
al sections generally.
J. E. Ferguson called the meeting
to order and presided until the cleo
tion of officers and before the selec-
tion of these, interesting talks were
made by number. Those who will
guide the ne reorganization, named
at the meeting are: M L. McKinnon,
president; ]. E. Ferguson, secretary
and treasurer; w. Fl. Shadman, first
vice president; J. H. E. Dimond, Sec
ond vice president.
A motion was unanimously passed
requesting the president to appoint a
committee of three to draft constitu-
tion and bylaws and also suggest a
name for the organization and r. r.
MacGregor, L. r. Akin. of this city,
and r. A. Taylor, of St. Simon, were
named motion also carried asking
that the secretary get information
from like organizations in this state,
which<he will proceed to do and report
at the next meeting, date of which will
be announced later
1t was brought out that of all the
applications for loans from the Farm
Loan Board, made by Glynn county
farmers, not one had been acted upon
favorably. These applications, it
seems, must pass through the hands
of the Boards agent, Mr. Dean, of
Charlton county, whereas if there was
norgaization here probably an agent
of the Board would be named and
those farmers needing financial as
sistance would stand some chance of
favorable action.
Some of those present yesterday
were: Hon. L. R. Akin, ]. H. Rutledge,

MAY NOTIFY LABOR BOARD.

Cincinnati, O., June 16.-Rail union
chiefs were considering today serving
formal notice on the Railroad Labor
Board that an overwhelming majority
of the 1,225 900 shopcraft and mainte-
nance of way employees were voting in
favor of strike on, n,(July 1, and that
officers of the union would abide by
the decision of the workers.
The notice, in effect, would formally
communicate to the board the public
statement issued here last night by
the union heads, which asserted that
the board, in ordering wage reduc
tions, had so reduced living standards
that the strike becomes an act of self
preservation. The statement also
,xblamed the attitude of the railroad
Enanagers as provocative of a strike.
Decision as. to the despatch of for
NAL notice to the board was held ur
by the union leaders, pending receipt
of the boards action on further reduc
tions affecting 100000 station employ
ees, clerks, express, signal men, sta
tionary firemen, oilers and train dis
patchers.
