coins boarded for years by French
peasants in their proverbial WOODEN

The government has fixed the
ratio effective next Monday for the
silver pieces which have been de-
monetized under the sterilization
bill. The value bein gset on the basis
OF the bullion price.
Consequently people who didn't

l was estimated at 46,695 600 acres,
ia per cent more than year ago.

ago the agriculture department an
nounced today.
The department said allowance
had been mace in its estimate for
1900 acres Of cotton flooded out
in Arkansas late last month and
for Il small acreage similarly dam
aged in Missouri.
Increases in acreage this season
were most marked in the less i'm
portant cotton states, in the eXt"n
sive area flooded last year and in
some areas where the acreage were
sharply reduced in 1927. California

where the acreage this season IS
greater than in 1926.

1927, the department added.

As far as | know the meeting
today is merely between our mem
hcrS to discuss further our plan for

Ecvcd there still was hope for Il
compromise and Laney declared any
new proposal Of the league would be
received with interest by the Sutter
organization, which had not altered
is decision Of on-participation in
the present league plan.
The Suttcr Cooperative Growers,
enc Of the leading peach associations
Of the state, has opposed the league
Proposal since it was made public.
Under this plan the peach crop
would be limited to $1,000, ,O00 cases
bl p per cent slash of the entire
crop.
Mckinney has pointed out that
the league feels the plan does not
discriminate against co-opcratives
in that it provided for the cut to
apply to All league orchards and to
independent growers under contract

Under the Suttcr counter pro

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson g. McKinron)


NEW YORK, April 19.-Opinion
is confused as to whether or not an
immediate change is to be made in
t'M reserve discount rate and as to
TIE possible effect, such action might
have on stock valuations. Some do
not care one way or the other, nor
do they see any danger but for those
who realize that price trends event.
ually follow course set for them
by fundamental factors we mention
that time money is more firm at 5
per cent, that bond prices are lower,
that brokers loans are at new high
record levels and that within the
last week the majority Of stocks
have at some time reached lower
price levels. The taking of profits
on steadiness or bulges is far more
prevalent than for some time and
this brings to mind the fact that
the most skeptical traders become
very accommodating by selling their
holdings whenever the specializing
public becomes insistent on buying.
Not a bad plan at all, for by so
doing their position is sufficiently
liquid to repurchase at Opportune
moments and lower prices. There
fore what is good for these traders
is certainly good for the rest of us.
