NEW YORK, March 25.-Corporate
bonds showed a general tendency to
sell of today. Secondary rails felt
the strongest selling pressure and the
downward trend was uniform as was
the case with carrier stocks.
Utility and industrial loans had a
small quota of gains, which included
such issues as Kansas Gas & Electric
4las, Shell Union Oil IS and United

United States Governments made
little progress on the upside. Barring
one or two issues, the list was 1920

Marked weakness in the Belsa

bill of wide importance to Americs

Canadian House of Commons, whe-c
by holders of patents forfeit the;
monopoly rights if they do not wor
their patents within time limit o,
three years, instead of the 16 yeaIS
allowed by the present law.
If, after the three-year period, the
holder has failed to operate his
patent. he will be debarred from
bringing action in the Canadian courts
for infringement.
At the imperial economic confer
ence it was pointed out that trade
with the United Kingdom in certain
mechanical appliances was prevented
by the fact that British inventors,
when making assignments or grants
to licensees, were accustomed to in
clude Canada as well as the United
States in one field of operations. Thus
when Canadians went to the United
Kingdom to buy machinery, they
found that in many cases the inventor
had granted the sole right to Cana
dian territory to American manufac-
turers.

They certainly are a fit looking

as he and the writer looked down
from the gallery to the trading
floor of the New York Curb
Exchange.
The remark was occasioned by
the physical appearance of
brokers on the floor Of the Curb
Exchange.
Curb officials revealed that the
rule, in effect a year, that all
prospective members must pass
a physical examination has
caused few reflections to date.
The curb's medical department
examines all prospective members
to protect the membership from
contagious diseases and to keep
down payments for insurance

OUTLOOK FOR U. S. WHEAT
SALES IN ORIENT POOR
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Prospects for the sale Of American
wheat in the Orient are small.
Wheat and flour prices at Shanghai
have declined as result of heavy for
eign wheat arrivals, increased book
lngs of foreign wheat and the pressure
of mills to sell flour, according to the
division of foreign crops and markets.
With low stocks of wheat in Shang-
hal, buyers prefer Australian grain
because it can be delivered more
promptly. Purchases Of foreign grain,
however, probably will continue
through the next two months.
