one incident and those Of domestic cor
porations were affected by the other, as
well as by week end profit-taking.
The break in German government
loans was the most severe in weeks
The SIPS dropped nearly points. with
large offerings at 40 and a decline
under that figure. The rs were stsadier.
though they fell 3 points. The semi
annual coupon on them is psys5le

other foreign dollar bonds to the latest
disturbing news from Europe. French
loans continued their drop. with the
tbs down AZ points. Scandinavian
issues were heavy.

under pressure. Losses of to points
occurred in Erie. New York Central

TREASURY RECEIVES
REFUND|NC PRAISE
Government Greatly Pleased
by Popular Response
to Bond Plan.
BY CHARLES p. SCHAEFFER,
AssociAted Press Business Writer.

The Government Is tremendously
pleased with the popular acclaim with
which the Treasury refunding plan was
received.
The Treasury itself was In receipt OF
many communications from the duan-
cial world which indicated that . very
large proportion Of the uncalled fourth
Liberty AIS would be converted into
the new l2-year bonds which bear a
81 per cent coupon after the first year.
For the first year the interest rate
will be the same as the Ans. which,
however. will represent no loss In inter-
est to the Government as the issue is
being sold at a premium OF IA per
cent.
Communication from the business
world to the Treasury revealed that
business now believes the Treasury Is
going after this matter Of e1ecting
economies In earnest: that the new
rate Of az per cent is entirely ade-
Quate for q government whose ordinary
budget is in balance, and that an ex-
cellent possibility looms that the re-
mainder Of the issue. totaling some
81, ,000, ,000, ,000 will be called next
Spring and replaced with an issue bear
ing even less than the new rate.
Le10S interest SlaSneS.
This latter possibility. the Treasury
has been led to believe, will be the main
factor N aiding the conversion.
The offering likewise is expected to
help correct what bankers declare has
been an i'll for years-high interest
rates on long-term bonds. Being pos
sessed Of the higher credit rating in the
country. the Government should logi-
II,, AL 1A iv, ty,U q
rates, bank leaders say.
Some drawback in the conversion Is
expected from those quarters who have
reed for short term paper. In the
event the balance Of the 4As are
called next Spring. the issue then as
sumes all the production Of six months
paper.
Nor is it expected that the offering
will cause even ripple on the surface
Of the exchange market. Very few OF
the Liberty 4l.s are held by foreigners,
it is said. this minimizing the posi-
bility of conversion into cash and taking
the proceeds home rather than turning
in the old for the new.
British Troubles Seen.
Two years Of abandonment Of the
gold standard have brought to England
a more complex situation than existed
prior to September. 1851.
Then there was but one problem-the
relationship between sterling and gold
now the situation has also the dollar
problem as well, throwing into contrast
the American policy Of deliberate de-
valuation and the gold bloc's policy OF
stability.
British bankers feel two solid lessons
have been learned in the last two years;
that the empire has gained in COM
petitive power as compared with other
countries Of the world; and that ster-
ling has been proved to be much the
most important currency Of interna-
tionsl commerce as its depreciation has
on the whole been q potent factor in
further depressing world prices
Her trade advantage, due to cheap
currency, however. is considered an ad-
vantage which may be pressed too far,
with the result Of forcing retaliation
either by tariffs or by competitive cur
rency denation.

While no formal statement was made
after the meeting, it was said the ma

bill and President Roosevelt's partner

least in principle.
1t was pointed out, however, that the

The peonies are certain TO be unusually

IRIS VARIETIES.

One can gather in visiting the various
amateur displays and iris gardens, that
there has been and is now going on q
tremendous progress in iris breeding.
Another fact brought out at the dis
plays is that there are plenty of splendid
irises of reasonable price. Characters
tics which make prize winners on the
show table may not be those which
make the best garden iris In the gar
den one wishes strong stalks that can
endure rain, abundant flowers lasting
over comparatively long period. Many
varieties look splendid when massed in
the garden and are of relatively little
use for indoor display. For example,
one still sees old-time favorites, such as
Honorabilis, Queen Of May, Quaker
Lady, Paladia Dalnatica and Nine.
Chereau, used in mass paintings with
good effect.
For the home gardener who wants a
few choice kinds for cutting and gen.
eral use there are varieties such as
Ballerine, Halo. Magnifica, Arlington,
Morning Splendor, Dulcimer Rosy
low available at nominal prices.
The best place to choose varieties
Is in the garden, and the next in the
display room of a garden club There
are near the city several excellent COM
mercial paintings of iris where one can
go and select plants while still in
bloom. June is an excellent time to
set out iris plants. as they will have
time to get established for blooming

cannot be planted deeply but must be
set practically on top of the SOIL Many
