Sentiment In finan cial circles this week was frankly less cheerful, tlds feeling finding more direct expression In renewed, if moderate, liquida tion, further professional selling and negli gible publlo interest. . The railroad strike with its serious re sults to almost all lines of industry, ad ditional credit restrictions and cumulative signs of a slowing down of general busi ness emboldened an already , large short account to extend its aggressions. Standard rails and Industrials suffered almost in equal measure with speculative issues. -strengthening the Impression prev alent In many quarters, that a large prep aration of the offerings was of- an in voluntary character. This same condition dominated the bond market, where practically all of the do mestic war flotations. In striking contrast to British Issues of the same class re corded new levels of discount. Lowest quotationa were made by Liberty bonds fniinwin? the announcement that new Ltreasury certificates of indebtedness are to be on a 5' per cent oasis. Local banking conditions, it was general ly agreed, are on a firm foundation but the tenor of advices from western and southern reserve centers again reflected the rigid attitude of the federal reserve board concerning nonessential credits. Little If any relaxation of money ratea is anticipated before the' expiration of the fiscal year. By that time, however, 1t is believed that many underwrltings, chiefly for account of rdllroad reconstruction, will have progressed to the point of successful completion. - , Local Stocks and Bonds Quotations furnished by Burns, Brlnker A company. - Bid.

One favor able aspect of 4i generally unfavor able credit and business situation is the present success railroad com panies of excellent resources are having in raising new1 capital. True, the cost is high. It is a wrench for railway managements to jay 7 ioTi per cent for funds when they recall the 3 and 4 per cent market for long term bonds in the 90's, but this is overshadowed by the certainty '61 in creased revenue based on property investments which take account of the appreciation of values up to cur rent standards. Nqw that an eager public demand for iirst class railway .notes and short time bonds has Jieen uncov ered, the question may be raised whether it could not have been availed of some months ago at 7 per cent. If the railroads had pressed upon the market immediate ly after the roads were returned to the stockholders, before then began to suffer from new strikes and em bargoes, it is conceivable that hun dreds of much needed cars and loco motives would now be under con struction, which, in many cases, are still to be ordefed. Outlay for Equipment. However, sights should not be lost to the fact tliat more than 8100,000.000 ot new securities offerings were distributed during the year prior to the transac tions of this month, and the proceeds of a large part of this total will be seen In new equipment betfore the autumn crop moving begins. The matter of immediate importance Is the fact that, while credit la exceedingly tigh't investment money is plentiful when a high return and ample security Is offered. Lsst week $50,000,000 of railroad se curities were absorbed .with such ease that offering bankers found their most difficult task In paring down allotments. More are coming this week and signs have not yet been discovered of an ap proaching aaturatlon point in the mar ket. The week's financing bore out sur prisingly tho contention of bankers before the senate Interstate commerce commit tee a few days ago that roads of recog nized good credit should be left to finance themselves. In so far as the process may be extended, Just so far will the treas ury's burden under provisions of the transportation act be eased. It appears now as though the original provision of $300,000,000 of treasury funds for railroad requirements will be extended by several "hundred millions, paving the way for the needs of -the roads which would have difficulty in selling their paper to private Investors. Principle Involved. , A double-barreled principle is involved in the action to be taken at Washington. First, adequate assistance for the 'veaker" roads will work to alleviate such In tolerable transportation conditions as shippers and consumers of goods are suf fering from, and second, 'the Investment market wUI be -conserved at a trying period for prime securities. It is not difficult to picture the adverse effect upon existing bonds and notes of forced offerings of oaper bearing 9 Per cent interest, say. paper issued by companies, which, in normal times have a substantial Investment following. invents of the last few days have shown more clearly than before the Intimate re lationship between railroad transporta tion and credit and the attendant rela tionship between the former and living costs. At a time when the effort of bankers had been to get real and far reaching support from the public. In tho work of deflation of prices and credit, extraordinary congestion ori the railroads came along to handicap the undertak ing. From all parts of the country are coming complaints," hardly less in volume from the man in the street than xfrom corporations which are unable to move their products to market. It might be too much $0 state that the railroad situ ation is the keystone to the entire credit and price structure, but certainly the banks would be In a far better position to get their loans down If It were pos sible for manufacturers and merchants to lighten their accumulations of goods. A man cannot pay off his loan when the products, which represent that loan, cannot be delivered and sold. 1 Outlook Not Promising, f The outlook Is not promising for an expansion of credit for use In speculation. Eartern federal reserve banks are lending extensively to reserve banks of the In terior, especially in the grain and live stock territory and the appearance of last Saturday s clearing house bank state ment seemed to show that they were also ext-.-.tuli-ig accommodations to correspond ents on a larger scale than before. Tire large expansion of loans and increase of rediscounts at the reserve batik of New York may have reflected operations at tendant upon the week' financing, but the movement were not accounted for to any degree by etock market dealings. Or. the contrary, fresh liquidation of speculative accounts was evidently dis closed in a decline of about 2Va point In the average price of stocks. So far, how ever, there have been few indications of public liquidation of securities. Professional speculators were busy for a. time last week in depressing quotation, but even their operations slackened and the turn over was 14 per, cent less than the week before. The Impression that many stock have reached levels where ihey are "cheap" prevails widely. But the eredit .tension discourages buying on margain. particularly, as no one may venture a prediction whether or not money supplies will be more reajrlc.ted before a positive appearance of easement is seen.

MICHAELS. Chicago Tribjine-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago. May 15. While all de liveries of corn sold at new high figures on the crop early, the best prices were not maintained, due to profit-taking. On the declines there was good support from commission houses and the close was 'Aic higher. Oats finished unchanged to 4c up, rye ylc higher and bar ley unchanged.' As compared with a week ago corn was 3 H7c higher, July leading; oats f$loC higher on the near and J-gc lower on Sep tember, rye l6yic higher and barley unchanged ' Larger receipts, arrivals being 65 cars, led to local pressure at the opening, but commission house buy ing absorbed the offerings and short covering carried prices up into new ground. vOn the bulge profit-taking by a local professional started values downward and with reports fhat the rail strike might be settled within the next few days. July dropped 2j$c," getting support at $1.78 and at .77Vi on the way down on resting orders. General Temper Bullish.

Generally however, the first two days of the week admitted of farm work in the Missouri valley, though light show, ers fell on both days in many lo calities. .Com. planting was under way pretty generally all over Iowa and Nebraska. Tuesday night's rain, however, put a stop to all farming operations in the corn belt east of . the Loup river in Nebraska. The rains were heaviest north and east, Sioux City reporting two inches, Des Moines, 2.26 inches. South Dakota , which needed dry weather and sun shine more than any western dis trict was in the path of the heaviest precipitation and has a gloomy out-, look on account of delay in complet ing seeding of small grains, though where seeding is done the stand is satisfactory as a rule. All small grains are doing well in Iowa ex cept in some fields in the north cent tral district which got too much ram during the week.. Numerous reports have come to this office from county agents in Nebraska who are enthu siastic over the growth of winter wheat, other small grain, alfalfa and s pastures, especially in the southern ' and eastern parts of the state. The sunshine and normal temperatures of last week put the magic touch of spring on all vegetation. But some anxiety is expressed for the stand, of corn already planted, as seed is .' often of doubtful quality and none but the' best seed will give a good stand when the weather turns col, and wet after planting. S,T ; The dry parts of Texas, Okla" homa and Kansas got an abundance of rain, central and northern Texas reporting "too much." Missouri and Arkansas were ako in the path ol this southern precipitation, Missouri ; stations on Thursday reporting as high as 2.52. ", The weather continues cool east el the Mississippi river through to the' Atlantic coast. Freezing tempera tures were recorded over the great lakes and New England states, the temperature in the latter district ranging from 3 to 6 degrtes below normal. The low temperatures oi the last half of the week gave very light frosts at many points but no damage is reported even to very, tender vegetation. Fruit bloom is so abundant that it is generally bev lieved a full Crop of fruit will "set", though cool, cloudy weather is not . generally favorable to successful, polinization of fruit bloom. i COLORED C.
