BUTTER PRICES LOWER.
Heavy Receipts Weaken Ali
Wholesale Markets.

CHICAGO. June 20 GD.-The un.
derlying nervousness which has pre-
vailed on all the butter markets for
the past few weeks came to the sur.
face during the week and resulted in
sharp declines at all the markets. AT
the lower prices trading was far from,
being satisfactory as buyers were op-
Grating cautiously and showing little
interest beyond immediate needs.
Ordinarily, during the month of
June, there is a fairly active demand
for butter for storage purposes, but so
far this month this demand has been
rather limited. Receivers of butter
contracts on the basis Of the daily quo-
tations were forced to send the bulk
of these arrivals to the fore in order.
to make room for new receipts, as
they found it almost impossible to
sell these goods without taking a loss.
The primary cause of the weak con
dition of the butter markets was that
supplies were in excess of q ready de.
mand. Receipts, while only slightly
heavier than for the preceding week.
were nevertheless greatly in excess of
the demand and this resulted in an in.
crease in the stocks on the street.

EVERYMAN'S -.
INVESTMENTS
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.
OPPORTUNITIES in Foreign Bonds.

While the average price OF domestic
bonds is now higher than at any time
since 1917, foreign obligations, gov
ernments and industrial, are below
the high point of 1922. The reason for
this tagging behind of the foreign list
is, of course, the doubt as to the for
eign financial situation which has pre-.
vailed for the past two years, and
especially the state Of affairs in
France. Foreign bonds are far more
sensitive in market price to variations
in opinion as to financial progress
abroad than they are to changes in
money rates.
So is comes about that the In
vestor can obtain as high return on
his money In a foreign security today
as he could in 1922, and the same can
not be said Of domestic securities. The
natural inference from this fact
would be that the risk in foreign in
vestment as a whole has increased,
otherwise the average price of foreign
bonds would have gone up with that
of domestic descriptions.
1t is very doubtful if this is the
correct inference. Probably the ex-
planation is that 1t is a. fallacy to put
all foreign bonds into one class just
because they are foreign, and that is
what the average, American investor
is inclined to do. AS a matter of fact
great progress has been made toward
the restoration of normal conditions
in many European countries. A
notable instance is the return of
Great Britain to the gold standard.
The moral is that attractive invest
ment opportunities abound in foreign
bonds, but that discrimination is. es-
sential.

Special Dispatch to The Star


NEW YORK, June 20.--Two oppos
ing views are taken of the Wall street
position as 1t stands at the close OF
the week. One emphasizes the i'm
provement which has occurred, or
seems likely to occur, in certain lines
OF business. The other dwellS upon
the heavy draft which the stock ex,
change speculation has made upon
the credit supply.
In the main the price movement has
been upward. But there have beer
SO many exceptions that the market
cannot be described in any other way
than as highly irregular, with the pro
fesStonal element supplying most OF
the initiative and with frequent shifts
from one group of stocks to another
Speculation Called Topheavy.
Some very good critics are of the
opinion that brokerage loans, in con
sequence of the great addition to the
stocks listed, are larger than they
have ever been. This. they point out
constitutes a topheavy speculation
which would be very sensitive to any
bad news. But. assuming that no bad
news occurs, the present operations
aimed at higher prices. could keep on
I Stock exchange houses may be bor-
rowing in the aggregate at maximum
llSuIeS. Stlll the latest statement OF
the New York Federal Reserve Bank
showed proportion of reserve to liza
bilities of SO per cent, which was
nearly double that of November. 1919,
when imitation was at its height.
Credit Resources Large.
In no recent year have money con.
ditions been easier than they were in
the Summer OF 1892. 1t was then that
the better class of investment bonds,
including United States governments
were making their top prices. But
despite the present extended position
on the stock exchange, the credit re.
sources are only slightly lower now
than they were at that time.
There Is no reason, in word, to
anticipate check upon current Wall
street enterprises from the money
market. The enormous expansion in
loans secured by bond and stock col
lateral is SOLDERING factor, and years
ago. before the formation of the Fed
eral Reserve system, it would have
been very pessimistic argument.
But the fact remains that, despite
the huge addition to the listed stocks
and bonds, which have to be carried
with borrowed funds. the credit re
serves are extraordinarily large.

SHIELDING WOMEN FROM

Women want their rights, and some of them in Connecticut want the right to do jury service, a privl- Iege that mere man is always most anxious to avoid.
 But mere man cannot understand woman; the latter themselves ad- init that much. Hence it is closely akin to the impossible for him to understand why women want to be forced to make life more incen- venient for themselves by meeting the exactions of jury service.
