Moody's Weekly Review.

Moody's Weekly Review of financial
conditions in it's current issue says, in
part:
Strength in bond prices may prove
the most significant feature of the
security markets: for this probably de-
notes a fair public demand for all
classes of investments. Presumably
the bond market should continue firm
or strong we'll into the Summer.
Commodity prices are weaker than
usual for this season, perhaps react
ing from the over-optimism of March.
The primary effect, however, should
be to reduce production costs and op-
Grating ratios, and thereby prolong
the existing era of prosperity.
Raw materials, such as coal. coke
and iron, are improbable now because
their prices are depressed by large
supplies, while their costs are inflated
by high wages. Nor are there visible
reasons for expecting much improve
ment until the late Summer or early
Autumn"

Hand of Standard Seen
The officers of the new cemDanv
state that they intend putting in dis
tributing stations in every town in
northeastern Montana. This is the
territory covered by the Westland Oil
Company, a ScObey concern, which
has disputed every inch of the terri
tory named with the big oil trusts
during the past few years. It is said
that the Westland is prospering be-
yOnd the widest dreams of its incor-
pOrators. This has given rise, it is
asserted, to considerable jealousy on
the part of the big companies and
there are some who believe that the
Standard is behind the new competing
company organized here recently. The
fact that Mr.. Lindsay, former re
sponsible employee of the Continental.
Is manager of the new concern. is
pointed out as an evidence that there
is more behind the new company than
appears on the surfacs.
Westland Sells Stock
As soon as the Plentywood company
organized, the Westland Oil Company
started an active campaign of stock
selling. This was done, it is believed.
with view of gaining the good will
