NO j. s. AID ASKED
BY ST. PAUL ROAD
Railways Head Did Not File
Formal Application,
|. c. c. Declares.

In a statement regarding the re-
ceivership of the Chicago, Milwaukee
and st. Paul Railroad. the Interstate
Commerce Commission yesterday de-
clared that no formal application for
financial relief ever was filed with it
in behalfN of the corporation prior to
its announcement of inability to meet
obligations.
The commission explained that
proposals looking to relief had been
discussed by President Byram of the
road with some of the commission
ers, but that the action had not been
followed up.
'Mr. H. E. Byram, president of the
Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railroad Co., had a conference with
division four of the commission, at
that time composed of Commission
ers Meyer. Eastman and Potter.
Some time early in the Autumn of
1924" the statement said. "Mr.
Byrum expressed his solicitude re-
garding the general st. Paul situation
and inquired whether 1t would be
possible for the commission to make
the contingent fund or out of. the re-
volving fund.
Told Fund Was Small
He also wanted to know whether
the commission would be willing to
recommend to the Secretary of the
Treasury the substitution Of certain
collaterals for other collaterals now on
deposit with the Treasury, because.
from the standpoint of Government
security. the collateral to be substi-
- pxyvn ~
just as good as what is now there,
and, from the commercial standpoint
of the company. the collateral to be
released would be very much more
useful.
Division 4 advised Mr. Byram that
the amount Of money in the contin-
gent fund was small. and none OF it
was at present available for the max
ing Of loans.'

BALTIMORE PRODUCE,

BALTIMORE, Md, April o5 (Spe-
ciaD.-The local egg market has ruled
steady all week in sympathy with
other leading markets and a fairly
active consumptive demand. While
receipts have been running liberal,
the packers are taking hold more
freely and all desirable stock has
cleaned up from day to day. Prices
show only slight decline from the
opening on Monday and closed today
at 27A and % a dozen for firsts in
free cases.
AS there is hardly any accumulation
TO carry over, the market should con-
t!nue steady the first part of the week,
but regular shipments are advisable,
as at this time of the year it is a day
to-day market and conditions may
change over night. There is very
little life to the demand for duck eggs
and the market rules easy and a
shade lower at 80 dozen
The general live poultry market
rules steady to firm under a good and
constant demand for large, smooth
fowl Of all kinds, except ducks, which
are In ample supply for the demand.
Mixed Spring chickens, IL pounds

and smaller, so to 81; large Leghorns
sell mostly so to 81, and 45 to 48 for
smaller. Winter chickens, 2A pounds
and under, in good demand and meet
with ready sale at As to so. Large,
smooth young chickens continue ac-
tive at 80 to 3S, while even rough,
poor stays bring % to 81. Old hens
have been in lighter receipt the past
week and with a fairly active demand
the market holds steady at 20 to 80
for medium to large and % and 26
for small and Leghorns. Old roosters
in better demand at II and Is.
Most Of the ducks arriving show

mand Is easily satisfied at % to 20

COMPETITION FEAR
CAUSES BIG BREAKS
Foreign Outlook Brings Tumble in
Three Issues Carried on
Stock Exchange.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. April 25.-Fear of
foreign competition was the chief
cause OF three of the most violent de-
clines in the stock market this week.
United States Cast Iron Pipe, which
sold as high as ESQ few months ago.
broke to 131h on reports that the re-
cent falling off in earning was due to
the competition of French pipe manu-
facturers, who have been successful
bidders on some recent contracts in
this country. Commercial Solvents A
and B, which attained new high prices
for the year at 100 and 1Ss. respective
ly. sold as low as 80 and s5 on Satur-
day on selling inspired by reports Of
serious German competition in the
production of butanol, one of the COM
pany's chief products.
Stock market observers pointed out
that the chief effect Of this competi-
ton was not the loss OF business. as
American manufacturers, aided by the
tariff and improved production facili-
ties generally, could undersell their
foreign competitors, but a reduction in
earnings through the necessity Of
lowering prices in order to meet this
competition.

Sterling Reaches
Ne,o High Mark
In March to Par
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, April 25.-Antici-
pating Great Britain's early re-
turn to the gold standard. sterling
exchange continued Its march to-
ward parity today, reaching a new
postwar high price of S4.S1 "a,
less than cents below It's nor
NAL value.
The growing belief that Chan
cellor of the Exchequer Winston
Churchill will make formal an
nouncement of the gold resump-
tion policy to Parliament next
Tuesday stimulated speculative
buying of sterling bills. which ac-
counted for much of the days ad-
vance of about a cent.
Considerable liquidation of these
accounts Is expected to follow the
currency's restoration to gold
parity basis at s4S6ss. but indi-
cations are that the British treas
ury will have the support OF fed
eral reserve purchases and Amer
lean banking credits to maintain
the rate around this level.

POOL PLAN DROPPED.
Camp Sims Held Unavailable fox
Swimming Purposes.

A report stating that 1t would not
be possible to operate the swimming
pool at the Camp Sims rife range, at
Congress Heights, as a part of the
playground system for Summer recre-
alton, was submitted to Commission
er Rudolph yesterday by Mrs. Susie
Root Rhodes, supervisor of play
grounds.
Until the submission OF this report
it had appeared likely that the
youngsters of Congress Heights
would have a bathing pool this year.
In her report TO the Commissioner,
however. Mrs. Rhodes said:
Camp Sims swimming pool was
thoroughly inspected yesterday by
Gen. Brett, S. J. Brunner and myself
and l am of the opinion that even
IL we had an appropriation to operate
the pool IT would not be possible to
handle 1t by the playground depart
ment. There is no way to keep the
water sanitary. There are no lockers
and the showers are too far removed
from the pool. 1t now takes four
days to I'LL and two to empty, the
water not having been changed in
the past more. than once in two
weeks. I see no way of making it a
playground pool. 1t is only suited to
men and a high board fence should
be built around IL to keep the chill
dren out"

Mr.. Mahaffie inquired in particular
as to what the operation of the merged
railroads could do in the relief of con.
gestion at Cincinnati.
Traffic in Cincinnati.
1T is not the present traffic through
Cincinnati that we hope to reduce. -
Mr.. Bernet said. 1T is rather that we
consider the Chesapeake and Ohio coal
trafilc is sure TO increase in the next
few years, and that the difficulties of
moving 1t through Cincinnati will be-
come very serious.
With the unified operation of all
the roads concerned in the Nickel
Plate merger we believe we can di-
vert much of the increase over the
Erie to Chicago" ..---- -.---------
The witness. agreed that participa-
zion and interest of stockholders in
railroad mana cement was a good
thing for a railroad and was in the
public interest.
Then why in the organization of
the new Nickel Plate company are
the preferred stockholders given no
right TO vote in annual meetings of the
corporation?" Mr.. Mahaffie asked.
THAT is not an unusual provision, "
Mr.. Bernet replied, when holders
of that class of stock are given a pref
erence over the common stock in the
matter of earnings"

MONEY FACTORS NOTED.
Cash Supplies and Fewer Brokers
Loanse Aid Easy Rates

NEW YORK, April 25-One Of the
reasons advanced in the financial dis.
trict for the present easy rates OF
money Is the excess cash possessed
by so many corporations, which has
enabled them to reduce bank borrow
ings. Smaller demand by brokers due
to the decrease in volume of stock
exchange transactions and less money
required to carry stocks, which have
suffered severe breaks in recent
weeks. were said to be other contribut.
ing causes.
