BILE, clerk of the House of Rep,
reSentativeS, speculation was rife
today as to the probable effect
Of this policy.
1t was recalled that during
consideration of the relief bill,
the board of directors of the
corporation unanimously objected
to inclusion of the publicity
clause" President Hoover OBJ
jected, and many leaders of both
parties in both branches of
Congress either objected or inter
preted the clause to mean the
reports were to be held in con-
fidence until the reconvention of
Congress.
Protests and Approval
This view was concurred in
by Edwin Thayer, secretary of
the Senate, who early announced
he would not make the reports
public.
The first report, covering oper-
ations in July subsequent to
approval of the bill August 81,
will be made public next Mon
day. 1t is Trimble's plan to
make reports for the previous
month public on the twenty-first
OF the succeeding month until
Congress meets again in De-
cember.
Meanwhile, Trimble's office is
being deluged with messages of
protest and approval.
Bank Handicap Seen
The tenor of those opposing
his action is generally that it
will handicap banks and insur-
ance companies to make known
their borrowings. as it may tend
TO destroy confidence.
There is a report now current
that the corporation is planning
to take the initiative in the mat

the facts of its operations as
they are made, instead of hav-
Ing them become public property

Sullivan, who said he was

Search of his person disclosed
that Sullivan's wallet bulged

He said that generous Dan

whether he won. He promised

LIVE STOCK PRICES
CONTINUE UPTREND
Advance in Hog Values
Proves Market Feature of
Past Week.
BY FRANK 1. WELLER,

Riding a seasonal upturn. hogs con-
tinue the prirna donnaS of the stock
yards-Friday's top of $3.50 at Chi
cago representing an even 81 advance
over the seasons low the last week in
May.
1t was only so cents under the highest
top Of the year, paid the second week
in March, and represented about a 80
per cent rise since the about face three
weeks ago.
Fridays close brought the net upturn
for the week to so to 70 cents over
Thursday of last week and the average
Chicago price of hogs to $685. per 100
pounds compared with approximately
SO for 10 bushels of corn.
Extent of Advance.
Normally, it is figured, there is a
profit in hogs when 100 pounds OF
liveweight sells for as much as 10
bushels Of corn.
BY Thursday hogs had advanced 35
to SO cents over the previous week at
Omaha and pigs rs cents in a sensa-
tional squirt traceable to broad shipping
inquiry and general reduction in sup
plies at the central markets. Kansas
City prices were 40 to SIS cents higher
and East st. Louis. 35 to so.
Aggregate repeipts of 256, 800 head at
the II markets were 81 per cent smaller
than a week earlier and nearly 80 per
cent below year ago. The Chicago
run stopped at $4,000 head for the first
four days of the week compared with
nearly 10000 last week and los, 500 this
time last year. Directs counted 16.6O0
head against $4,000 last week and near
ly $4,000 in 1881.
The quality of the butcher supply
continued mediocre with many of the
lighter weight offerings in thin condi-
tion. The total SOW supply was small
and the demand broad enough to stiln-
ulate prices. Cash lard prices ad-
vanced about 10 per cent in The course
of the week
Prices on pork products did not ad-
vance in line with the upturn in the
hoof market, although some gains we're
made in both pork provisions and in
fresh pork.
The Chicago wholesale meat market
was featured by pork loins closing at
the highest figures since last April
the to % pound kinds opening at an
average Of So to $12, and closing SO so
to SIS. Steer meat was up so cents;
call, 5U Genus 10 81, ana mutton, 81.
Shipments Small.
Fat cattle continued active and
higher, the better grades scoring the
big end Of the upturn as buyers grew
discriminating. This explains the 35
to so cent gain by strictly good and
choice steers and long yearlings, and
also why the top on yearlings went to
$825, while the best weighty steers
sold at SS10, compared with $7.65
week earlier.
Relatively small runs continue to
stimulate the steer trade Grassy and
short-fed steers comprise the bulk, some
of the former being too thin to interest
the killing side This tends further to
curtail the beef tonnage, which seems
to be growing smaller each week, and
is the real power behind the throne in
forcing values sharply higher.
Choice lambs and yearlings lost 25
cents, while other grades and classes
finished steady. The readiness of pack
ers to pay $6.25 and the apparent un-
to give above that featured
the trade.

Except in a few special issues, the

The mild improvement in Federal

CHICAGO. Ill, June 25.-Renewed
strength developed in grain valves late
today after wheat had sagged to exact
ly even with the seasons low levels.
Rallies insecurities were a late bullish
factor. Word that the Senate had made
a sharp cut in operating funds of the
Farm Board was also a stimulating in
fuence, together with reports of harvest
delays in the Southwest on account of
persistent bad weather.
Wheat closed firm LIZ above yes
terday's finish, corn %-a4 up. oats

rise Of 5 to 20 cents
Bearlsh sentiment pervaded the wheat
pit, and rallies in price lacked vigor.
Absence Of aggressive buying was ap-
parent. with indifference of foreign
markets and continued favorable pros
poets as to Spring wheat both domes-
tic and Canadian. Apprehension as to
rust and graSshoppers was minimized
by assertions that actual damage to
date was negligible.
Latest cable advices were to the effect
that Germany and France had excel
lent crop prospects, and that should
these two countries come through with
large yields. the outlook would be un-
promising for much increased trans
atlantic business In wheat from North
America. Bears contended that unless
Europe experienced unfavorable harvest
weather optimism on wheft prices ap-
peared out of place. 1t was cited that
world supplies were large, only slightly
under last years total, and that South

larger. Corn and oats mainly paral-

COTTON IN IRREGULAR
TREND DURING WEEK
Trade Buying on Covering Have
Tended to Check Moderately
Sagging Tendency.
BY the Associated Pres.

oF tne ASSOCIATED Pres.
NEW YORK, June 25.-Trading in
the cotton market here has been com
quarattvely quiet during the past week.
with fluctuations rather irregular. Very
moderate declines have been checked by
ttaoe buying or covering, however, and
the market has shown generally steady
undertone which would appear to have
reflected a growing impreSsing that this
may turn out to be boil weevil year"
A continuance of showery weather in
the Western belt during the first part
OF the week contributed to this appre-
henSlon, and while weather conditions
turned more favorable for weevil con-
troll toward the end of the period, re-
ports OF infestation continued to reach
.-ere, particularly from the Southeast.
There were also rather more reports
Of weevil from Central and Western
belt sections, with reiterated advices
comparing with present weevil threat
to that of 1928. At that time, it may
be recalled. weevil were numerous, and
while conditions otherwise during the
growing season may have been about
average, the loss from a full yield per
acre attributed to weevil damage was
1872 per cent, or about per cent higher
than the 10-year average, resulting in
an average yield of lint cotton per acre
of only 1906 pounds, compared with
the 1881 yield of 201.2 pounds.
Such falling of in the yield per
acre combined with the expected mod
crate decrease in this years average is
a possibility that is supposed to have
been in the minds of traders who bought
on declines during the week, while 9TH
ers point out that boil weevil activities
may be controlled by weather conditions
during the Summer, while in other re-
spects the crop is supposed to have
made very satisfactory progress In most
sections during the past month.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 25.-The future
policy of the IRE and casualty insurance
companies in dealing with their depre-
ciated securities accounts is TO be
somewhat different from that of the
banks and trust companies in thai they
will shortly inaugurate a program Of
amortization Of bonds similar to that
IN effect by the life insurance COM
panieS since 1909.
The amortization plan has been
found to work successfully with the
life insurance companies AS they
make their investments entirely on a
1ong-term basis, it is with the intrinsic
value of a security and its probable
payment at maturity, as well as with
the sustained income from it during
its life, that these companies are most
concerned. The same is equally true
of the mutual savings banks, which
take bonds legal for them into their
portfolios and hold them until their
due dates, just as they do real estate
mortgages.
1t is recognized that to adjust their
balance sheets according to current
fluctuations in bonds, either up or
down, would be unfair both to their
policy holders and stockholders and
that the more equitable practice is that
Of amortization, such as has been en-
ployed for the past % years.
The recommendation of the SUPER
tntendent Of insurance of New York
State that no amortizati5n IN program be
adopted by the other Insurance COM
panieS has already been acted upon
in a resolution presented in Chicago
this week at the convention Of Ma
tional Insurance Commissioners This

NEW YORK. June 25.-On the theory
that it is good business to spend a
quarter to erase a 81 debt, many Wall
Street men favor proposals that Con-
gress empower the Reconstruction
Fl .ance Corporation to loan money to
railroads to buy and retire their own
bonds.
Their bonds now sell at large dis
counts. A number of second-grade
railroad issues are quoted around 20 to
IS cents on the dollar.
While they approve the suggestion in
principle. bankers find some serious
drawbacks. Foremost, probably, would
be the need of secrecy if such plan
we're to be fully successful. They note
that before the Finance Corporation
could advance a loan for such pur-
poses. the Interstate Commerce Com
mission would be required to give its
consent publicly. Once the news be
came public, bankers point out, in
vestors and spectators would await
higher prices before they would part
with their bonds to the railroad.
The principal advantage OF such
program would be In the reduction it
might effect in interest charges Of the

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 25.-The current
Slowness in commodity dealings is at
tributed to a considerable amount OF
confusion concerning the amount of tax
to be paid. Once the tax, which
amounts to cents per 500 value of
commodity. is thoroughly understood,
traders believe it will have no effect On
the markets.
Some markets pay a much bigger tax
per commodity unit than others. For
instance, silver futures, in addition to
the margin and commission for the
round turn, pay tax of $3.50 per unit
OF 25, 900 ounces. This is IL times more
than the S0-cent tax payable on a unit
IN rubber futures. A contract in San
toS Coffee pays tax of $1.50, while IN
sugar futures the tax is only AZ cents
per unit
Despite the confusion caused by these
varying amounts Of tax, it is improbable
that there will be any charge in the
size of the different commodity units.

mobile production gained 20 per cent
in May over April, when a decline
usually occurs at this season. Similarly
building construction improved 20 per
cent when a per cent decline is usual.
Other indicators, however, reduced
the effects of these gains. Output of
steel and iron declined more than is
