Help Dissatisfied
The Waterman at the Washington

"They don't write just about the
National Biscuit company; they write
about all sorts of factories. They
wrote about the Western Electric and
the International, and then sold papers
on the streets and caused a lot of
trouble. They're sure to get pinched.

Treaty and the various subsequent
pacts should be considered. MacDon
aid, speaking for the British interests
who along with the American group
will have to provide cash for the Ger
man loan, naturally insisted that the
investors in the proposed $500 900, 900
loan must be protected before anyone
else is assured security.
Herrlot for U. S. Compromise
1t appears that Herriot will fall in
line with the compromise proposal
submitted by the Americans. The
French are on guard to prevent the
British from putting them in a posi-
ton where they would be the ones to
oppose American recommendations
The twenty-odd spokesman for the
various European countries are all
anxious to draw America into the
agreement as soon and as completely
as possible.
Toward this end American advice is
especially needed The French dele
cation is planning to move that the
American agents on the. reparations
board be formally appointed by the
Hague as a measure of international
recognition. Macdonald is doing his
bit in placating the American "unof.
fetal observers" by emphasizing re-
peatedly that the Dawes plan must be
accepted as a whole without any
changes being made in its contents.
In winding up his address of welcome
the British Premier bowed to Ameri-
can finance by declaring:
Kellogg Issues Def
I'm some Of its proposals the report
may be debatable, but we have been
warned by the experts that it must be
taken as a whole, and whoever has
studied it carefully will come to the
same conclusion. We must not try to
alter its details or we shall be back
in the same disagreements where we
have been so often before"
Replying to this fiat-footed indorse-
ment of the Dawes plan, Mr.. Kellogg
said:
HAS anyone better plan? 1 can
say simply that my government and
the people of the United States believe
that the adoption of the Dawes report
is the first great step toward the
rehabilitation Of Europe"
These significant words of warning
and promise to the delegates and
international financiers gathered here
made a profound and hopeful impress
sion on the conference as to the like
lihood Of the United States lending all
its monetary and industrial prestige
and power to the attempt now being
made to stabilize European capitalism.

BOND AVERAGES
 ARE HELD DOWN
Variety Of Individual Is- sues Achieve New High
 Records, However

NEW YORK, June %. = Curious cross current in the bond market to- day held down the average of prices, although variety of individual issues achieved new 1924 high records. Trad ing activity expanded after an initial period of dullness.
 Although price conditions were rela- lively narrow, widningj inquiry in the speculative railroad issues enlivened trading in that. section of the list. Growth of the consolidation movement among the railroads furnished the buy ing power in several cases and contrib uted to substantial improvement in New Haven, Katy, Denver and Rio Grande, Missouri Pacific and International Great Northern liens. Erie bonds were subjected to profit taking.
 A strong underlying demand for the high grade rail mortgages also was in evidence. New York Central sixes jumped 1% points to a 1924 top price at 173s. Gains of a point or so were recorded by Pennsylvania, South ern Railway and Hudson and Manhat- tan issues. Investment buying carried United States Steel lives to the years highest level at 105.
 The Atlantic Refining company com pleted negotiations with bankers for the sale of $15,000,000 two to four-year notes, which are understood to bear interest of AZ or 5 per cent. Public offerings is expected shortly.

CORN ADVANCES
 OSEASON'S TOP
Unusual Strength Follows Report Of Too Much
 Rain In Belt

CHICAGO, June 24.-All deliveries of corn scored a brisk advance today to the highest prices yet this season. Too much rain interfered with cultiva- tion was chiefly responsible. Corn and Wheat closed at net advance, July 969s, wheat 3S to 5sc up July $1.14A to 1.14sk and September $t15A to 1.155s, with oats showing K to ac gain, and provisions varying from Dc decline to a rise of 12 cents
 Unusual strength became evident early in the corn market and with part of the gains proved to be of a lasting character, especiallyIas country offerings kept scarce and receipts meager to an extreme degree. Persist cut rain and cool weather emphasized reports that corn growth was very back ward in a number of the big corn states. Excessive moisture was reported over Iowa, Illinois and the Ohio val ley in particular, and in northwest ad- vices were said to indicate the poorest corn prospect in years.
 Word of low temperatures in Canada and of heavy storms in the domestic harvest in the southwest had come early due to. the fact that predications of a bullish crop report at Winnepeg had to be borne out to the extend which had been looked for here. The late firm ness of the wheat market here also was ascribed to announcement of G. 291, 900 bushels decrease of the visible supply in north America. There like wise was talk of broader export de- mand for wheat to be shipped by way of Gnome. Others were respon- sive to reports that at various places in Iowa the oats crop was showing rust.
 Some foreign buying of lard made the provision market firm, despite lower quota tions on hogs.

GRAIN LETTER

] CHICAGO, June, 25.-wheat was a two-sided affair. There was much profit-taking on slight advances, but good buying on declines. Broomhall's Liverpool review says that millers' de- man has shown some improvement and that Canada and Argentine crop condi- tions are being watched closely, as 1t is becoming increasingly evident the out turn in these growers win have q vital influence upon the world wheat situa- ton. The French minister of agricul- ture issued q bullish report stating the acreage to be smaller than last year and 2,750, GOO acres less than before the war. Last years estimate was reduced from 290,000,000 to 271.0o0 900 bushels and import requirements estimated TO- 000, 900 to s0,000, 900 bushels instead of
 previous 10,000,000 bushels. The sharp advance in corn was feature of the grain rparket, prices going to new high levels. More ,builish crop reports were received. In addition to the excessive rains causing poor cultivation, chinch
