WILL RETIRE BONDS
Swedish Co. to Buy All of
French Issue.
BU Times SDecidI

BIZ Times Special
CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-The French
government, after studying various
plans for refunding all of its 8 per
cent sinking fund gold bonds now
outstanding in the American mar
ket, has arranged to retire the entire
issue on March Is, 1928. OF the
original loan of which $100,000,000
face amount of bonds were sold in
1920, approximately one quarter has
already been retired Machinery for
the redemption of the balance has
been set up through an agreement
whereby the French government
will sell to the Swedish Match Com
pany an issue of $75,000,000, forty
year, per cent bonds issued in dol
lars. With the proceeds the French
government will effect its redemp-
ton program.
The French governments refund
ing program is unique in worlG
finance. BY means ofsa sale of
bonds to a single corporation, the
government clears the way for re-
firing its 8s with the new issue of
IS. This is in striking contract with
the negotiations and formalities
made necessary in 1920 when the
French republic sold its $100000,O00
twenty-five-year external loan to
American bankers and reflects the
subsequent improvement In French
credits.

In the Stock Market
CRv Thomson g. McKinnon)


NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-News this
morning is of routine character,
except for the floods in New Eng
land. These are spectacular and
distressing, but are not circun-
stance to the Mississippi floods,
which made little or no impression
on the stock market. What is of
more significance is the heavy in
crease in bank clearings in the
Northwest, revealing that the crop
improvement is being translated
into dollars and cents. The warm
err weather may have checked the
sale of winter goods, but it has put
much additional wealth into the
hands of the farmers, which will
more than take up this temporary
slackness and in turn will spread its
influence in the industrial field. !
think this recession in various in
dustries has passed its worst and
that we are safe in counting on a
gradual revival. The stock market
is likely to run into periods of If
regularity as over-bulled issues are
liquidated, but I favor buying the
high-grade issues.

Railway Officials Protest al
State Hearing.

Although public convenience
might be served by permitting the
Ben Davis buses of the Hoosier
Transportation Company to take on
and discharge passengers on w.
Washington ST., there is no neceS-
sity for such service.
Such was the contention Of In
dianapolis Street Railway Company
officials and their attorney, David
Watson, in an oral argument before
the Public Service Commission Fri
day. They opposed petition of resi-
dents Of the vicinity asking such
service and that of the Eoosier
Transportation Company asking that
they be permitted to provide it.
Attorney Fac Patrick for the bus
company asserted that in former
petitions the street car company
had extended lines over bus routes
on the ground that some persons
preferred riding the cars.
Watson declared that cal, and bus
service is similar.
1--WE resent the implication that
our bus service is similar to that
of street cars" Patrick retorted. "If
the Indianapolis Street Railway
Company would watch expenses as
carefully as they do a few lost fares
they would not be in their present
financial plight"
Attorney Harvey Grabill appeared
for 300 petitioners and Corporation
Counsel Schuyler Haas for the city.

d CHICAGO, Nov. 5.-Reports Of

Wheat opened slightly higher
when northern hedging eased a lit

was little upturn. Late in the Ses-
sion, however, reports of rust on
large areas Of Argentine wheat,
caused a frenzied rush of buying and
in a few minutes of rapid trading
prices went as high as 4 cents above
Fridays close. There was consid-
cradle profit taking, however, and
best prices did not hold. Receipts
here were twenty-Six cars and cash
wheat went up "a cents. Corn was
dull early in the session. The mar
ket was very sensitive to changes in
wheat and the sudden rally IN the
latter grain kept corn prices con-
siderably higher. Receipts were 1877
cars and cash prices were "a cents
higher.
Oats were fractionally higher on
strength in wheat, but there was
little news in the pit.
Provisions Closed slightly higher.
