NEW LAWS IN
FORCE JUNE 9
Blue Sky and Budget Meas.
ures among the More I'm
portant Statutes

STATUTES passed by the last legis-
lature-except the very few that bore
emergency clauses and took effect inn
mediately-will go into effect June Z.
The "blue sky" law and new au-
tomobile regulations probably will at
tract the most attention; the first be-
cause it marks the beginning of an
effort on the part of this state to
stamp out fake stock sales and the
latter because Director L. D. McArdle
purposes enforcing the new motor We
hicle regulations at once and as all
travellers are affected there may be
quite stir before automobile drivers
understand that the highway patrol
has instructions to carry out the law.
Special emphasis will be laid on reck-
less driving and precautions that must
be taken at railroad crossings.
Secretary Of State j. Grant Hinkle
has been preparing for the "blue sky
law enforcement during the past few
weeks. He has profited by Oregon's
experience and has data in his poses
sion on number of questionable cor
porations that may seek to do busi-
ness here. During the past two weeks
civic organizations in all the larger
cities have asked Secretary Hinkle to
Correspondence with what are regard
speak before them, explaining the law.
ed as legitimate business concerns in
dictate that they like the new statute.
Common law trusts have beseiged
the secretary's office for interpreta-
tions of the law that will permit them
to be registered but the secretary has
consistently held that they are not rec
ognized.
Corporations which accepted the new
filing fee and annual license bill with
out protest will be astonished when
they see the law working. It is inn
possible to base an accurate estimate
on the increase in state revenues that
will come from this law for there is
now way of telling how many new
companies will file or how many old
ones will cut down their capitalization
to escape higher fees. But that the
working of the law will lift an enor-
nous burden off property owners is
indicated by the fact that estimates
OF the increase in revenues run from
three to six times the present amount.
Tho strict budget laws become eff
fective June z, city and county of
ficials will finish the year under the
budgets adopted last fall. However,
in the work just commencing they
must carefully determine the amount
of money needed next year for they
are barred from exceeding their bud
get allowances.
The entire farmer program was ac-
copied by the last legislature, more
than score Of new laws going into
effect June Z. The one attracting the
most attention now is the licensing Of
commission merchants, including log,
lumber and single brokers. The va
lidity of this act will be tested it is
claimed. The house journal, on which
type setting has just been completed,
contains letters from the representa-
tives of women's organizations which
were at Olympia during the session
and which agreed the woman's pro-
gram was given favorable considera-
ton.

NEW YORK COTTON
FUTURES CLOSE 10
TO II POINTS UP
Entire List Advances Into
New High Ground in
Last Hour.

Copyright, 1898, by The San Antonio Light.
New York. Jan. 20.-The fact that
fluctuations in cotton for an hour today
were confined within 10 point range
furnished a basis for entirely erroneous
conception as to actual conditions pre-
vailing in the ring. for not during the
entire season has such acute nervous
ness existed. Below the surface an in
tensely feverish undertone surged back
and forth.
Foreign news kept operators in a
state Of anxiety, not knowing what
Over-Sunday developments might dis
close. Effects of the French seizure
of German coal mines not only on Ger
man industries, but in countries obtain
ing their fuel from German mines are
difficult to calculate. At the same time
the immediate results Of this is TO SHIFT
continental textile demand TO British
markets, thus increasing an already
tense position existing in that quarter.
Around 2S.40 May was for sale today,
but on dips TO 2S.30 buying orders ap-
peared in volume. 1t would be diff
cult to describe the feverishness which
surrounded today's trading.
With the first half of the cotton year
nearing completion. il is interesting to
compare the situation with that Of n
year ago. The crop of 1921 and car
ry-over on plantation August Of that
year amounted to 2,0SS.000. OF this
there had appeared in sight year ago
to. date 100000 leaving 1922 900
TO come forward. Port and and inter
Tor stocks then amounted to 2.S15,OOO
giving total supply Of 100000 out
of which exports and domestic takings
could be furnished. Estimating the cur
rent crop at 10,300.000 including lint
ers with carry-over on plantations Of
964. 900 and this seasons supply reach.
es II $4,000. OF this S,S93, 900 has al
ready appeared in sight, leaving 2.271.-
600 to come forward. This. with %
POI, 900 in port and interior stock gives
total Of 4.57S.000 to compare with T.
637 900 a year ago az this date.
Excitement became intense in the last
hour when the whole list advanced into
new high ground May sold above
IS IL cents. An enormous volume Of
business was transacted with even less
selling pressure than when cotton was
selling much lower March closed $3.50
and 2S.35c: Nav. 2S.55 and 2S.57c; Oc-
tober 1880 and 26.6Jc.

BONDS HOLD FIRM
Slight Activity With Advances In Sec.
ond Grade and Speculative Issues.

Copyright, 1923, by The San Antonio Light.
New York, Jan. 2O.-The improved
tone noted in yesterdays bond market
continued today, although activity was
not on a very large scale during the
two hours of trading. The advances
were mostly among second grade and
speculative issues.
A very notable instance was the gain
of over 4 points in Maryland Oil SIS
with warrants. Each of these bonds
carries a detachable warrant emitting
the holder to subscribe 10 25 shares
OF Maryland Oil at 40. The stock
has been very active around SO recent
~. IL sold above 81 today.
Another point of interest was fur
nished by the new Anaconda security
particularly the debenture Is which
sold on "when issued" basis A frac.
ton above the offering price.
Aside from these special features
speculative rails as a class were sirmer
than in sometime, probably rejecting
more optimistic feeling as to the
future Of the railroads.
In the foreign list the feature was
the recovery in the issues generally
regarded as the most highly speculative
and which have sustained the seyerest
losses. French bonds held around yes
terdays prices. Libertys were very
duh and practically unchanged nor
was there any interest shown in high
grade securities.

HOG PRICES ADVANCE
UNDER HEAVY DEMAND
WHEN RUNS ARE LIGHT
Cattle Prices rs to rs Cents
Lower Than Last
Week.

Copyright 1898, by The San Antonio Light.
Chicago, Jan. 2O.-Local receipts Of
5000 hogs were only q third as large
as last Saturday. Including the stale
supply of $500 there were about IA
600 hogs available on the open market
and packers had no direct receipts.
Shippers carried fair orders, but NOT
enough to clear the run, so that hold
ers had to look to the big killers to
furnish an outlet for the bulk Of the
receipts of heavy butchers and packing
sOws. Opening trade was strong. the
strength being displayed largely on the
butcher weights and the heavy hogs
which sold early at S.25 to $50; while
lights sold at $50 with fancy stock
held at higher figures. Demand be-
came keener and prices ranged largely
strong to dime higher later. Best
lights topped at SS.Sj with a consid-
cradle number of light butchers selling
at $40 to $50 while heavy butchers
moved fairly well at S.25 to $40.
Packing grades of the common variety
sold slowly at 81 to STE. About
1000 hogs remained unsold in the
pens at the close of the market.
The limited run of cattle, estimated
officially at 800 was about all the
trade had need of for there were about
1900 cattle carried over. Quality of
the fresh offering was exceedingly
common. Trade closed at the low
point OF the week and steers were any,
where from % cents to 7J cents lower
than week ago. Medium grades of
beeves selling around SIS show the
greatest decline. Butcher stock was
extremely irregular. Cows going late
in the week at prices that looked 25
to 30 cents lower while heifers show
net declines of 30 to 81. Gamers and
cutters show a slight loss while bulls
look 30 to 30 cents lower. Calves
gained about 80 cents over a week ago
and feeding stock is generally I'M
changed.
Lack OF offerings in the omen market
was the. only thing that kept BUYERS
from going into the sheen house. or
tclally the fresh run was estimated at
1000. but 1900 of these were known TO
De direct to packing establishments.
The weeks run of $1,000 is 1000 short
OF last weeks total. Ten leading mar
Eets reported 5000 sheep and lambs TO-
day as against 1000 last SATURDAY..
Choice lambs were salable ar SIS
ABOUT the same as a week ago and the
bulk OF lambs at $3.50 to S145o also
Is steady. Feeding lambs continued in
moderate demand at substantiallv the
same prices as week ago. aged ewes
ana muttons showed declines. ewes go
ing off 90 cents.

WHEAT is AGAIN A
VICTIM OF PROFIT
TAKING BY LONGS
Bemish Feeling Prevails In
Market From Start and
Wheat Closes Lower.

Copyright 1928. by The San Antonio Light
/ Chicago, Jan. 20.-There was little
interest exhibited in wheat after the
early activity d. the start today. There
was leftover bearish feeling from Fri
day and as soon as the market opened,
many Of the longs were disposed TO IL
quidate their holdings. Reading orders,
profit taking by shorts and back spread
ing between Chicago and Winnipeg.
buying the wheat in the local pit halted
the decline and caused a fair recovery.
The export demand for wheat was life
less and millers took little interest in
the market for cash wheat. Premiums
were unchanged, in fact the basis was a
little firmer as compared with the close
Of yesterday. The situation is looked
upon as bearish, now that German labor
is refusing to produce for the invaders.
Liverpool cable said that market was
affected by reports that shippers are di-
verting cargoes of wheat originally in
tended for Germany TO United King
dom. Millers are holding off on this
account, expecting heavy shipments next
week. The Capper bill passing the Sem
ate failed to influence the market be-
cause it fails to stimulate demand,
one trader said. There were reports of
rain in Newton and Hutchinson, Kan.
The market closed unchanged to Is
lower.
Corn was easy in tone. There was
some selling by local longs at the start
and cash houses sold. After moder-
ate dij, the bull crowd gave the mar
ket support. Cash corn basis was
firmer. sales being made at LA l-2
cent narrower discount than yesterday.
Country sold no corn TO arrive on the
break. Shipping demand was poor.

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

The security markets continued to
show Indifference today to the news
from the Ruhr. Little change occurred
in stock prices, but the principal
movements were upward. g
The only quarter in which uneasi-
ness was shown was in French ex-
change which broke sharply and in
the German marks which returned to
its extreme low. Sterling was steady
in face of the weakness in continental
rates.
In the stock and bond markets sterl-
ing was less active, but the strength
which has been manifested all through
the crisis produced by the French entry
into the Ruhr was maintained. Even
French government issues were quoted
half point or more above their low
points.
In no day so far this wear was
there so little change in the general
price list.
