BONDS
RISE IN EAST
High Low 1918

After an April decline Of 2.5 per
cent, average prices for Eastern
real estate bonds increased 0.3 per
cent during May, according to sta
tistics compiled by Amott, Baker
g. Company on the market action
of 200 typical issues. The rise for
the first five months of 1885 is

was $3.50 on January /.
New York city prices decreased

were noted on issues in the four
other cities used in compiling the
averages. The gains were: Phila-
delphia, 3.3 per cent; Boston, 1.6;
Pittsburgh, 4, and Buffalo, OF.

DIVIDENDS DIP
IN CANADA

Dividend payments by Canadian
corporations to their stockholders
in May OF $3,410,092 compared
with $4,535,372 for similar month
of 1885 according to A. E. Pierce
& Company.
This is the first decline in the
monthly totals, as contrasted with
the previous year, since, Novem-
Der, 1898, and is largely due to the
deferring of the dividend on the
outstanding shares of the Ford
Motor Company of Canada, the re-
port said.
For the first five months of the
current year, dividends totaled
$50, 493 1865 an increase from $780,
894,151 for corresponding period
of 1885, and $55 1886, 1851 for similar
months Of 1884.
OF the total drop Of apprixi-
mately $1,100,000 in May Of this
year, as compared with last, Ford
Of Canada accounts for over $780,
600, and the balance of $500, 900
is due to the fact that other COM
panies will make their distribu-
tions in June next as against May
Of 1885. Directors of the Ford
Company have deferred dividend
action pending study Of tariff
changes. announced in the recent

FRENCH FRANC
AGAIN UNDER
PRESSURE

NEW YORK, June S 0.N.S).
The foreign exchange market
nervously marked time today as
principal nations involved in the
gold bloc crisis awaited the re-
suits Of the first day of the
Leon Blum socialist government
in Paris.
Although pressure on the
French franc continued, it did
not reach the proportions of the
last two days. The British con-
troll fund again entered the mar
ket at intervals. other gold cur
rencies were unchanged to easier.
In the New York market, the
British pound again rose to
$5.021a, up 1h cents. The French
franc gained 1-16 point to touch
it's gold export point, $685.
cents. Belgas were UP to 1891
Swiss francs, up l to 1921:
guilders up 3 to 67.59. The
Scandinavian rates continued
their rise, along with sterling,
although the Japanese yen, also
tied to the pound. declined 5
points to 1882 after its spec
tacular rise of the last few days.
More French gold is on the
way here today, $13,455, 900 being
engaged yesterday as the French

TARIFF BOOSTS
HITS REICH

A state Of intensified economic
warfare today existed between
the United States and Germany
as the result of imposition by
this Government of virtual
embargo on certain German pro-
ducts.
The action taken by this Gov
eminent was in retaliation against
what was held to be German
discrimination against American
trade. especially the dumping
of German goods on the Amer.
lean market.
Countervailing duties ranging
from % to Sc per cent were
slapped on 10 of Germany's
principal exports to this country,
including cotton and rayon
gloves, cameras, surgical instru-
ments, toys and leather.
These duties are in addition to
the ordinary highest prevailing
rates which Germany already is
obliged to pay. Germany is
barred from any Of the benefits
the United States grants other
nations under the reciprocal trade
agreement program. The new
countervailing duties will place
Germany at a 100 per cent disad-
vantage with many of its COMPETE
tors for the American market.
German quarters here view the
action as making it virtually i'm
possible for Germany to sell in
iris country the goods on which
the duties have been increased.

FURNISHED HOUSE: &c. ...
I wished you could have been
with me when I visited this nome
in Chevy Chase, especially If you
are a lover of gardens. The home
has one of the most exquisite ones
I have ever seen. 1t is divided into
two sections, one being formal
garden directly back Of the house
that is simply breath-taking; the
other part has lots Of friendly
trees, a rock garden and plenty
of green lawn. In the summer
evenings one could dine out there
and enjoy it a great deal. NOW
getting back to the house, which
is a particularly charming one,
there are many interesting fea-
lures. The living room is spa
cious and we'll arranged, off which
is an inviting porch which over
looks the garden. All OF the bed
rooms are large, having two and
three exposures. In the basement
there is a fully equipped recrea-
ton room that should prove a
popular place, for there is bar,
a fireplace and all the necessities
needed for playtime. This home
is nicely furnished and can be
subleaSed indefinitely.
FURNISHED APARTMENT:
Another apartment that I am
sure you will like is this one To-
Gated in this fashionable Con-
necticut Avenue building. BreezeS
from Rock Creek Park will blow
right in your window, for the
building is situated at one Of the
entrances to the park. Beautifully
furnished it has a great deal Of
charm and appeal. 1t is an ideal
apartment for the SUNNI r
months, as it has three exposures
and would be most livable during
the hot days. This unit consists
of three rooms, kitchen and bath
and can be subleased for the
summer months quite reasonably.

OUTPUT,

Prospects for the oil industry
have been clouded by the increase
in crude oil production, which, dur
ing the week ended May Is, rose
to 3,008,050 barrels daily, accord.
ing to a current analysis by the
Standard Statistics Company. This
exceeds the previous record high
Of 2,973 ,450 barrels a day produced
during the week ended August 81,
1929.
A large part Of the increase this
year is attributable to the develop
ment Of the Rodessa field (Which
promises to be a troublesome source
Of production despite reports Of an
early decline in pressure in this
field and to the new Oklahoma
City field extension, the report
says, adding:
although the expansion in
output has not been accOmpa-
MED by a weakness Of crude oil
prices, as in previous years,
earlier hopes of another advance
in prices by late spring have
been Supplanted by fears that
present schedules may mot be
fully maintained. The price level
has been sustained thus far
largely by a compromising rise
in consumption.

rels for 1886, a new high record,
and about Z per cent above 1888.
Since the beginning of the cur
rent year, crude oil production
has been moderately more than
per cent larger than a year
earlier. The relatively well bal
anced operations which have pre-
vailed in the industry since the
early part of 1888 have not,
therefore, been definitely upset,
but current developments are
threatening. Because of the
present high rate of drilling &C

Light selling, conferred chiefly in
the steelS, unsettled the stock mar
ket before noon today after an
extremely dull and listless fore
noon. Losses were limited to frac-
tons and few issues resisted the
downward trend.
The crisis in France continued
to claim the attention of the
financial district, as a solution OF
the currency and employment
problems of that country was
awaited.
Steels sold off easily on small
volume. q. S. Steel and Bethle-
hem lost close to a point each
before meeting support.
Motors we're moderately below
previous closings. Chrysler and
General Motors had small frac-
tional gains converted into equal
sized losses.
Rails were slightly easier, par
ticularly N. Y. Central, AtchiSon

Coppers and aviations were Vir-
tually unchanged. Foods and
mining shares were higher. Build

General increase was marked

retailers are counting on June to

ALEXANDRIA, VA:
This Is one Of those quaint old
houses reminiscent Of the days OF
George Washington. One that
overlooks the historic Potomac in
all it's glory. A house Of appeal,
retaining the charm Of the Co
lonial, yet modern to the extent Of
plumbing, heating and those
necessary things. Particularly at
tractive features are the original
fireplaces. This house has nine
rooms, two baths and rents for
500. If you are in the market
for the unusual, see this at once.
FOR A GIRL ONLY:
Unless you want the best, please
don't investigate this. 1t is to
share an unusually lovely enc
room, dinette, kitchen and bath
apartment with a young business
woman. This apartment is clev-
erly and artistically furnished,
having all the necessary things
needed for ones comfort. There
is a cleverly concealed Murphy
bed, an ultra-modern bath with
