MINNEAPOLIS, June 29.-An ad-
visory report on reorganization OF
the Minnesota g. Ontario Paper Co.
filed by the Securities Exchange
Commission places the valuation of
the concern at $25, 500, 900, compared
with present book value of about
S74,000,000, it was revealed here yes
terday.
The report, filed with the United
States District Court for study be-
fore the reorganization hearings are
resumed July Is, approves, in gen.
eral, reorganization plan proposed
by trustees of the comany last De-
cember 4 under the Federal Bank
ruptcy Act.
The plan calls for issuance of s12.-
100000 in principal amount of in
come mortgage bonds, all of which
would be distributed to the present
bondholders of the company; pro-
vides for payment of minor amounts
In cash to equalize interest accruals
on certain classes of securities. and
for issuance of common stock of the
reorganized company on the basis of
1883 per cent to bondholders of the
company and 27.41 per cent to its
unsecured creditors.
The S. E. c. report suggested that
interest on the new income bonds
be per cent instead of the 4 per
cent provided under the trustees
plan.

year was 1863 per cent below the
record of 1904 reached in December,
1925, and "a per cent above the
depression low of 97.6.
The peak of the rent index in
1925 contrasts with the 1920 records
set in the other cost of living divi-
sions.
The index for December, 1914, was
859, and by December, 1917, it had
actually declined to 829. However,
it recovered to 846 in December,
1918, and to COS in December, 1919
1t failed to show the sharp war
rise of the other divisions, but
climbed steadily in the following
years, reaching 1911 in December,
1920, 1119 in the same 1921 month,
1873 in the 1922 month, 1853 in the
1928 month and 117.4 in the 1924
month. After the peak of 1904 in
December, 1925, slow decline
started.
Even as late as June, 1888, the
index still stood at 1905, slightly
above present levels. The low point
of 97.6 in June, 1884, emphasizes the
fact that Washington rents suffered
very little In what are commonly
termed depression years.
House Furnishings Lower.
The index of house furnishings,
after sharp rise to 1868 on De-
cember IS, 1899, was down to 101.4

Liquidation in July

NEW YORK, June 2e.-Cotton
futures fell back to net losses of
to points today after a half
hearted try at higher prices fell
through.
The list started lower in the wake
Of a decline at Bombay and mild
hedging pressure.
Trade and local support soon ap-
peared and a scattering of plus
signs dotted the quotation board.
This demand was apparently based
on unfavorable Interpretation of the
weather forecast for the coming
week, which called for further un-
wanted rains through most of the
belt.
Lastminute liquidation in July
and hedging by leading spot in
terest accounted for a setback and
final prices were around the days
lows.
Worth street ended the week in
a little more optimistic frame of
mind as several million yards of
print and broad cloths sold to con-
verters at steady prices. Total sales
for the week, however, were esti-
mated at below current output.

Washington Living Costs Show Stability
After Losing Much of Late 1899 Rise
Price Average Stoys
Below Levels for
1897 and 1898
BY DONALD b. HADLEY,

After short-lived price rise last
fall the cost of living in Washington
has been holding at steady levels,
somewhat below 1887 and 1888, a
survey compiled by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics revealed last night.
Covering changes up to March
IS this year, the bureau reported
its index of living costs for Capital
wage earners and low-salaried
workers stood on that date at 99.6
per cent of the 1868 average.
This was slightly ahead of $50 on
March Is, 1899, but was below 1901
on the same 1888 date and 1919 on
the 1887 date.
Fall Gains Lost.
In the rise last autumn the WASH
ington index advanced to 1908 on
September Is and then slipped to
98.9 on December Is, before start
ing its moderate recovery into the
1910 months.
The indices in March, June, Sep
tember and December of recent
wears follow.
Evening star., 1940-06-30

The latest average was more than
27 per cent below the record of
1872 in June, 1920, and only IA
per cent above the depression low
of 927 in June, 1888.
But it is necessary to go back to
the beginning of the bureaus COM
pilation for the real low of 729 in
December, 1914. From that point it
advanced rapidly and by December,
1917, stood at 1912, not far above
present levels. Then the war
knocked the lid off 1t scared to
1853 in December, 1918; to 1899 in
December, 1919, and finally to 1872
in June, 1920. 1t is interesting that
the average never again came close
to 1914 levels, even in the worst part
of the depression.
Foods Lead Recovery.
Foods led the various sections of
the general index in the early 1910
recovery. Clothing, fuel. light and
power and the miscellaneous division
also were higher.
However, rents continued their
slow decline, which started early in
1888 and house furnishings de-
clined sharply.
On March Is the food index stood
at 96.1 per cent of the 1858 aver
age. ahead of both 94.5 on the same
1889 date and 95.6 on the 1888 date.
1t was we'll below 104.8 on the same
1887 date.
In the rise last fall the food index
climbed to 99.5 on September Is,
then retreated to 93.8 on December
Is.

Argentina Follows U. 5.
In Crop Loan Program
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
Argentina has followed the United
States in adopting policy of gov
ernment crop loans to farmers in
times of emergency.
A report to the Foreign Relations
Division of the Agriculture Depart
ment disclosed yesterday the South
American country, under an exec
utive decree, would make loens of
up to 6.75 cents a pound on cotton
stored in warehouses or sheds insur-
ing adequate protection.
Loans will be granted to producers
free of interest, commission and in
spection charges, stamp fees, regis
tration of loans and insurance cost,
the division reported.
The action was said to have been
necessitated by the European wars
disruption of the Argentine's cotton
export market. Foreign markets pre-
viously had been expected to absorb
nearly 200, 900 bales of this years es-
timated crop of 365, 900 bales.

For many months the executive
branch of the Federal Government
has piled up a steady succession of
new employment records. The
latest figure of 1857 contrasts
sharply with lis $50 in June, 1898;
65,437 in June, 1888: $4,000 in June,
1927, and only 25,930 in June. 1905.
Even at the peak of World War
activity there were only 117,760 en-
ployes and this was under a system
that counted around 5000 more
persons than on the present basis.
Real Estate Active.
Washington real estate activity in
May and the first five months of
this year recorded sharp gains over
year ago, according to Charles
Rush, secretary of the Washington
Real Estate Board.
Deeds for May totaled 1,211.
against 1,043 in the preceding
month, lib in May, 1899, and was
the best total forsthe month since
1887. The five months volume of
5,106 was ahead of 4,9O8 in the 1899
period but behind 5,185 in the 1898
period and 6,940 in the 1897 period.
Foreclosures in May sank to 20.
against % in the preceding month
and 80 in May, 1899. 1t was the
smallest total for the month on
record. The five months volume
of 125 also was the smallest on
record for that period.
Deeds of trust in May numbered
1925 with a valuation of $9,424,171,

Wheat Prices Slump
2Cents a BusheI
At Chicago
Corn Down ; Cents,
Rye Declines More
Than q Cent
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Market Writer.


CHICAGO, June 29.-Wheat prices
slumped cents, corn cents
and rye more than a cent today as
grain values returned to around the
lowest level since the European war
began.
Weakness was associated with
liquidation of July contracts upon
which delivery can be made begin
ming Monday, enlarged marketing
Of new winter wheat in the South
west, favorable weather and crop
conditions and the disturbed Euro
pean situation.
July wheat fell to 741s. only IA
above the lowest level for wheat
since September l, the first day of
the attack on Poland. All rye and
some oats contracts reached new
lows for the season, but corn, al
though showing the most weakness,
held as much as 5 to 7 cents above
the seasons lows as far as old crop
contracts were concerned.
Wheat closed 1872 cents lower
than yesterday, July TAX Is, Sep
tember 45s-24; corn 1ls-25s down,
July 59& "a; September 57ss-A;
oats 1s3s off; soybeans, l lower;
rye lss down, and lard 5-8 lower.
Selling increased in the final hour
i i
tributed to stop-loss o. srations. The
larger movement Of new wheat in
the Southwest contributed to hedg-
ing pressure, although reports indi-
Gated most of the grain is being
stored. Anticipation of heavy ac-
emulation of arrivals over the
week end also caused some bearish-
ness.
