Strength of Foreign Exchange and Other Markets Week Feature

NEW YORK Jan. 13.-Strength of the foreign exchange and commodity market this week in the face of the French in vasion and the withdrawal of American n troops was construed an indication that the financial community did not r.- gard the European situation as serious and that the domestic outlook was sui ficiently encouraging to counteract any unfavorable evehtualites abroad
 Principal interest however, was cen tered in specialties In which there is an early possibility of favorable dividend ac- tion. Listed bonds suffered from the Cotton prices moved to new high records since the spring of 1921 and wheat rallied from its recent slump, but became un- steady again In final weekend dealings.
 The price tendency is still upward. Higher prices were announced during the week for crude rubber. lead and mdconti- nent crue oil. A stiffening tendency also has been noted in the prices of steel products. operations in the industry con ttnuing at about so per cent of capacity. Railroad car loadings are still running at record high levels for this season of the year, but railroad shares have been in- clined to weakness because of the vast sums railroads have had to expend for favorable legislation involving forced re- duction of freight rates
 Money for loaning purposes has been in free supply, the call rate getting as low as 3ia per cent with predictions in some quarters that 1t will go lower within the next few weeks. New bond offerings this week were the highest in the history of the local bank. bearing periods of United States government financing.

Production continues full and active. Demands for higher wages have been made In several New England centers. where there is also considerable agitation before legislature for shorter working hours. The increases sought by unions have been refused by msnufac- turers and the matter of further action has been left by vote of operatives in the hands of union leaders. No restriction of production due to labor troubles is sn- ticipated in the near future. Yarns are firm and have been bought more freely.

AMERICAN HERMAN |S SUCCESSF u IN DIFF F|CULT FLIGHT
Passage Over Andes Made by Curtis PIane-Many Hard- ships Overcome by
 Birdman

LIMA, Peru, Jan. 1S.--What is probably the most daring aviation feat yet recorded in South America is the flight by an American aviator, Elmer J. Faucett, from Lima to the Amazon port of Iquitos. Faucett, who is attached to the staff of the National Aeronautio company of Peru, left Lima in Curtiss "Oriole" plane,- in an effort to win a prize of 5000 for the first airplane flight from this capital to IQuitos. offered by the Peruvian congress. The first lap of the flight was to Chiclayo, 400 miles north of Lima. Faucett made this distance in six hours and landed safely on the arid plains near that city.
 get the plane in condition for the second stage of the flight, which was particularly dangerous in the absence of air maps or any other guides. Iquitos is more than 800 miles from Chiclayo in a straight air line, and the intervening country is as wild as can be found in South Amer ica. This region is a vast tangle Cf difficult mountain passes, cascades. and rapids until the highest ranges of the Andes are passed at an ele- vation of from 16,o0o to 17,0o0 feet.
 ImpenetrabIe Jungles
 The Maranon river and it's afflu- ents, which flow into the Amazon, have cut tremendous chaslns in the ranges of the Andes, down which swift. turbulent streams flow in their course tC the Atlantic. After that come the tropical lands leading to the Amazon proper. where impen- etrable jungles and swampy wastes make travel o-any kind difficult.
 It was over such a country that Faucett had to fly when he made his final 'hop-off" from Chiclayo on October 6. Had his me tor failed him, no trace of aviator or plane would probably ever have been discovered As it was, he was forced to land when only 40 minutes of flying sep arated him from his goal. A driving rain and thunderstorm forced him On an islet in the Tigre river where his plane became mired in the soft sand. causing him to break a propeller. A passing launch from Iauitos picked him up and carried the stranded avia- tor to the isolated Amazon port, where he was given & tremendous ovation. His flying time from Chic lave up to the moment of the acci- dent was also six hours. or a total of IF hours from Lima.

Europe purchased here approximately double the amount of corn 1t had bought during the six months preceding, Coun- tries other than those of Europe, however by swelling their purchases TO per cent, accounted for much of the increase dur ing the second half of the yearly period.
 Shipments to the United Kingdom, Germany. the Netherlands and Belgium all showed sharp increases over the pre- vious year.
 France, which in 1s2o-21 took only 406, GOO bushels, re-entered the American corn market in 192I-22 and purchased 3 6S2. 900 bushels The shipments in bushels to the other countries in l921-22 compared with the preceding cereal year included;

WATER POWER PROJECTS


 More water power development is under way now than in any previous period of our history, according to ,he federal water power commi ssion. The law under which the commission grants permits for development of water powers, subject to federal ju- risdiction would, therefore, seem to have the effect that was intended. Over 800 applications for the com missions permits have been filed.
 In indirect attacks upon the law the commission sees much danger. These attacks take the form of pro- posals for special legislation regard |ing particular power sites. If re- quests of this kind should be success ful the commission sees as result a gradual dislntegration of the whole national water power policy.
