LAND BANK STOCK
CONTROLLED BY U. S.
Government Now Owns Majority
of Equities in 10 Federal
Institutions.

The Federal Government now owns
the major part of the stock of the IL
Federal land banks, according to fig
ures released here by the Federal Farm
Loan Board. At the close Of 1881 these
banks had practically repaid the Gov
ernment subscription to stock of ap-
proximately $4,000 900, made when the
banks were originally established, for it
held only S204, 696 and this was limited
to stock in two banks. In January,
this year, Congress appropriated Sl25,-
900 900 to be used by the United States
Treasury to invest in the stock Of the
IL Federal land banks.
In February, $63, ,243, TAO Of stock in
the IL banks was subscribed by the
Secretary of the Treasury from the ap-
preparation made for this purpose. This
was followed in April by another sub
scription amounting to S11 1000, ,000
The last subscription, aggregating $780,

brought the Governments investment

CURB STOCKS SAG

Declines Follow Weakness in
Utilities ISSueS-0iIS
Fairly Steady.
BY JOHN A. CRoNE.

Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, July 5.-Pubhc utiIi-
ties were the weakest feature Of de-
clining quotations and dull trading
in the forenoon session Of the Curb
Exchange today.
The leading utility issue, Electric
Bond & Share, was of only frac-
tionally, but Commonwealth Edison
opened down points, as did National
Power g. Light preferred. Cities Serv-
ice around ? was off Is. but American
Gas & Electric was of nearly a point.
Niagara Hudson Power new, after
opening higher, erased It's early ad-
vance
The three-day holiday brought about
neither an accumulation Of orders nor
particularly favorable domestic or in
ternational developments Of market
import. The Democratic nomination
afforded short sellers an opportunity to
sell public utilities, aided by the action
of the Wisconsin Utility Commission
in ordering a reduction Of telephone
rates in that State. There also was
the certainty. in view of the triple holi-
day. that Wednesdays weekly report
on electricity consumption would show
a larger decrease than the preceding
week.
1t was pointed out on the other hand
By some holders of utilities that Gov.
Roosevelt in his three-year governorship
of New York had done nothing to hurt
utilities of that State and that arbitrary
rate reductions could be offset by charg-
ing for telephone installation and tele-
phone directories.
Brazilian Light & Traction rose al
most a point and New England Power
preferred was up more than a point.
American Superpower was more active
than usual, though virtually unchanged.
Federal Light g. Traction, majority Of
whose common stock Is controlled by
Cities Service Light & Power, in turn
controlled by Cities Service Co, reported
earnings for the IL months ended May
81 of S2.28 common share against
s2.77 in the preceding II months.
Tech Hughes responded to the better
ment in earnings and the extra dividend
declaration. United Light e. Power A,
advanced, despite average earnings of
81 cents a share for the IL months
ended May 81, against $1.63 a share In
the same period a year ago. Textile
shares Jagged, in spite of the announce
ment of shut-downs by Pepperell Manu-
featuring beginning July 49, and Amos
keag manufacturing cotton and mechan-
ical divisions from July % TO August

until further notice, trading in Fox
Theaters class A stock because Of the

fer office in Manhattan.

BOND PRICES GAIN
! IN ACTIVE TRADING
German Group Benefited by
Hope of Settlement
at Lausanne.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special Dispatch to The star

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK. July 5.-Bonds were
strong today. with every section of the
list sharing the improvement. Trading
was in heavy volume.
The market opened higher. led by the
German group. Actual developments
at Lausanne we're not calculated to
bring any help to the investment mar
ket but observers agree that now that
a fairly complete presentation of the
divergent views of the powers have
been made, the possibility of an AMIGA
BILE and final settlement are greatly en-
hanoed.
Before New York opened, European
markets had become buoyant, with Ger
man obligations to points higher in
London and Paris. This was reflected
here in price rises of 2 to 3 points in
Germans Later the advance extended
until Young Plan 512s were more than
4 points higher on the day. Dawes rep
arations rs, gaining similar amount,
were at a new high on the recovery.
improvements ranging from 2 to 5
points occurred in Deutsche Bank IS,
Berlin City Electric IS, German Central
Bank 6s, Prussia IS, Saxon Public
Works 6l2s and Is and others.
other European dollar obligations
also were affected. in spite of the fact
that nearly all foreign exchanges were
weak in terms of the dollar. Great
Britain 515s moved higher because of
the initial success of the British treas
ury's $500 600 900 refunding operation
italy rs, Rumania rs, and Belgian 6s
were 2 points higher.
Australian descriptions had sharp
gains. Australian government 5s ran
up about points. Brisbane 5s were
points higher and other Antipodean
dollar loans were similarly at new high
prices on the recovery. Extension OF
commonwealth loans to the Australian
states and the aid secured in London
by the Canberra government contrib
uted to the strength.
Japanese government and municipal
descriptions, as well as the utility loans
guaranteed by the japanese govern
ment. were 2 to points higher. This
reflected a sensational advance of 10
points in London. The Inauguration of
a strong control on yen exchange, to-
gether with the reported improvement
in Japanese trade, helped these issues.
South American issues improved mod
erately.
The domestic list was quieter and
gains were not as large. United States
Government long-term issues advanced
IA to y point, with the best improve
ment in the low coupon treasury issues.
High grade public utility bonds were
fractionally better, especially American
Telephone SIS, Consolidated Gas 5l2s,
New England Telephone first SIS, South
western Bell Telephone IS, and Utah
Power & Light 5s.
Railroad bonds were bid up briskly in
some cases. The Frisco reorganization
plan is believed to be the forerunner OF
plans to take care of other railroad diff
ficulties. Nickel Plate IS, which mature
this year, were marked up about 2
points. Baltimore g. Ohio SIS gained
about points There were advances in
Canadian Pacific debenture As. Norfolk
& Western first As, Northern Pacific IS,
Pennsylvania IS of "a; Southern Paci-
&c AIS and Union Pacific first Is.

NEW YORK, July 5.-Cotton prices

ing Of the market today in active trad

Of the cotton belt thus continuing the
unfavorable weather conditions prevail
ing during the greater part of last
week, prices opened in new high terri
tory when July touched 584 or 90
points above low levels reached last
month. Selling before noon eased
prices 10 points or more, but the tone
held steady.
During the holiday on this side, Liv-
erpool prices advanced sharply about
20 English points and at the opening
this morning foreign quotations showed
gain of more than IL points above
Saturdays closing figures.
october contracts here sold within 2
points of the Scent figure in early

 Moose Win Final
 Their close win over the Skag- way boys in the afternoon game seemed to have tired the Haines High School five in their final championship game with the Ju- neau Moose, for the Paps' attack caught the students off balance time and again under the basket as the entire champion outfit scored at will in the last half. The first half ended 16-10 for the Moose, but this dangerous margin was wiped away in the last two innings when Brown, Moose pivot man, entered the game and started tip- off signals that bewildered the school boys
 In describing the champions style of play, it was simple pass ing attack, coupled with well-timed rebounds and close checking of dangerous men in the opposing lineup Their guarding was free of fouls, Nelson being the only Moose player to leave the game by that route. In the offense Tor gerson and Brown carried the brunt of the attack, with 53 and 52 points respectively in four games.
 Three Moose on Tourney Team
 The two Moose offense men and Mover, stellar guard, were named on the all-tournament team. Will son, of Douglas High, was the only other Channel eager to make the mythical team His clever floor work as guard, and all-around field generalship singled him out for the position. Selmer, of White Pass AC., and Johnson of Haines High, were named as forwards Willard, husky Native center, was named with Brown for the center post, with Bailey of the Post team, instead of Mckee, as guard.

 The Channel teams were enter tained royalty by the post authori- ties during the stay at the bar racks. The shooting gallery, bowl ing and skiing were enjoyed by the guests during their visit. Two popular dances were held at the gymnasium. Movies were included in the entertainment program for the visiting teams.
 Douglas Girls Open Meet The tourney got under way Tues day afternoon when the Douglas girl forwards piled up 45 points as the guards held the Skagway lassies to nine, or rather Miss 5ipprelle, who was the only girl to score for the losers
 The second Tuesday game, from he standpoint of basketball, was said to have been the best of the tourney, the local team coming from behind in the last frame to beat the Haines post team 40-34. The post outfit, led by Lieut.. Mo Kee, director of the tourney, dis played the classiest offense seen by members of the Moose squad. Only by careful checking and &C., curate shooting spurts were the Paps successful in stemming the offensive tide that rolled into the net at the end of cleverly exc cuted plays.
 The Post five, Lieut. Mckee said, are seeking a game with the chara- pions on a local floor, and may arrive here on the next trip of the Torrance, should the necessary arrangements be completed. The Soldiers chief threat was fast breaking offense built around, Light, 6foot inch center, slow, deliberate style of play that rush ed the Moose off their feet. The game was featured by sudden SCOT ing spurts by both quintettes, and the outcome was not assured until the final gun.
