By HOLLAND. ,
1 hr .fcjfUrv of the treasury,
Andrew W. Mellon, is quoted a? hav
ing iI a tew days alter he tiegati
lus duties that he !iad in mind the
H-iundiiitf oi the war debt of the
Vnitcd Stales, including Liberty
bondb and Victory notes. His off
hand opinion, however, was that re
funding of tin's kind, together with
the handling of the demand notes
now held hy the treasury, repre--enting
as they do the debt jf the
illie. to the United 1 States, nearly
? 10,000,000,000, might not he taken
up until congress had enacted new
legislation which would change or
modify the present tax law and
which would put upon the statute
book a new tariff schedule.
Probably not one of the citizens
who is now possessed of one or
more Liberty borids or Victory notes
will fail to heed with gratification
the intimation of the secretary of the
treasury. Many of the banks of the
country, including the federal re
serve banks, also will contemplate
with satisfaction the proposed re
funding of these Liberty and Victory
bunds, s
Legislation Expected.
In New York the belief prevails
that congress kill so legislate upon
the recommendation of Secretary
mil lion as to make it possible to con
yrrl each of the Liberty bonds and
irtory notes into a bond havlne a
lite probably of 36 years, hearing at
least 4 1-2 per centinterest, possibly
5. with a sinking fund of 1 per cent.
- sinking fund of this character
would be sufficient to extinguish the
bonds in 36 years.
If the opportunity be offered for an
axchante of Liberty bonds and Vlctofv
notes Into lona-tlme bonds bearing 4 t er
f per cent Interest, it filably would
h- difficult to find anywhere tu tha roun
tiv an owner of Liberties or Victories
who would not avail himself of this on
pcriunity. provided hr know of It.
Then refunded fiords would probably
bu quoted at par or perhaps a little hitter.
1 hiy would put en end to tlm depreciation
vlilch these bonds have bain obliged to
-ut up with since thoy were Issued. Tha
absorption of them would relieve tha bank
v-'hlrh hava been carrying- so manyk of tha
bonds which were hnintit on borrowed
money. This would tend to eese the
iiedlt situation. Kurtnarmnr In the long
run there would be a aavi-.'K for the rov
arnment even though the tni'-rest on these
bonds la fixed nt S per cetiy
What ronrei.s Mint Do.
siomo of these bond Issues which tha
poopln so willingly accepted In the days
o' the war necessities, roust be taken rare
of before the eeelou "f congress expires
by time limitation. Jhese bonds cannot
b rcderrfel through ''he pevmcnt by the
auvrrnment of their face value in cash
because th aggregate value of them la
too larita. Therefore, when conereas con
fidors the question of how boat to handle
thette bonds whoae maturity la at hand
there 1a also likelihood of consideration of
11 these war debt tsuues.
Socretarv Mellon inln.iu.tes that the Iran-dtlna-
of the allied debt now represented,
by demand notes is likely to be decided
by. congress when the refi'ndtng of the
war debt la also under consideration or is
acted upon. Apparently the pressure which
was at one time brought to bear upon pub
lic opinion in the United States In favor
of the cancellation .of thin debt is no
longer exerted. TP wa n.ad clear that

v.... vi- ni,.-u ) t,u
tling of slackened activity, today
brought an irregular movement on
the markets in which foreign ex
change rates yielded fractionally,
call money again held below 7 per
cent all day and prices on the stock
exchange advanced. The money rate
did not vary from 61-2 per cent,
which was lower than' the prevalent
rate of two months past, but high
er than that at which business was
done today.
But the money market has ceas
ed, for the time at any rate, to exert
any great influence even on the
stock exchange. No doubt a decline
in rates to 5 or 4 per cent would
cause recovery in prices, just as tjic
rise in rates to 8 and 9 per cent serv
ed to check recovery last month or
in the autumn. But at the moment
such influence is hardly perceptible.
Prices Fluctuate.
Todsys' stock market again presented
nothing to view except, the alternating
experiments on tha selling or the buying
side of what sppeared to be several groupH
of professional speculators with divergent
Ideas. Under such circumstances, prices
declined at the start, recovered rapidly,
lost part of the recovery and ended with
advances for the day In tha large majority.
Two or three stocks closed with consider
able net declines, but a much larger num
ber ended 2 to 3 points higher.
The moderate reaction In foreign ex
change left most rates where thoy were
two or three days ago. Exchange in Ber
lin went back to last week's levet. Wall
street again talked of the Sflcsian plebis
cite as un influence which was probably
superfluous. A derraso of 42S.000.00fl
marks in paper circulation, hs shown in
the German banks, weekly statement
brought the outstanding lota! 1,300,000.000
marks below lieceinber 31, but tt exceeds
that of March, 1920, by 25.000,000,000
marks, or nearly 59 per cent.
Decrease in Kv ports.
' Today's statement from AVashington of
our exports of agricultural conimotllt lea
last mouth, throws some, light on the fig
ures of February's total forlegn trade.
rubllshed last week. It then appeared
hat total exports hud fallen heavily, the
decrease from January being J165.000.0OO
and the decrease from the preceding Feb
ruary 3155,000,000; the month's total ox
ports being, in fact, the smallest since June
of 1918 and far below the monthly aver
age of any year since 1916. The separ
ate figures now given for last month's
export of cotton, breadstutfs and oil show
a combined decrease of 358,900,000 from
January and of J81.O00.0O0 from February,
1920.
This would mean that all other exports
last month were 1106.000.000 smaller than
the month- before and J74.OO0.0O0 smaller
than in 1930. Of such a decrease, outside
of agricultural products, no previous
monthly statement has given any sign. It
would mean apparently that the long pre
dicted shrinkage in manufactured exports
has begun. Exporters familiar with tho
actual outward' movement, have been at
J 1(,s 'o understand why Washington's
foreign trade statement did not reflect it
several months ago.
New York Cotton.
New York, March 22 Liverpool was one
cf tha chief early buyers, presumeably to
cover straddles, and when the support
from that source slackened the marked
turned easier under scattered southern
stlllns and liquidation, to within 9 or 10
points of last night's closing quotations.
A good deal of covering took place In
tho New Tork cotton market this morning
as a result of strong and generally more
favorable Manchester news. Wall Street
and Liverpool, with room traders, were
active buyers, and prices responded 15 tn
42 points, led by March contracts. The
undertone was well maintained after the
ppcnlt'g.
w York Sugar. f
New Tork, March 22. Tha local mar

' By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Hve Leased Wire,
Chicago, March 22.- Lowest pricrr
of the season were made lot .May
wheat and oats and during the great
er part of the day there was every
thing to depress and little on which
to base operations for an upturn!
The selling pressure was troni liqui
dators and short sellers who over
did it on the break. A change came
unexpectedly in the last hour, which
made it unpleasant for the bear in
terests and caused heavy buying and
a bulge of over 4c on wheat, and lc
on corn, while osTts followed a larger
decline early.
The finish was at net losses of jC
on March wheat, while May gained
lc. Corn was off c to 5c, oats
unchanged to '$C higher, rye, -c to
ViC higher and barley .14c lower. In
provisions, the finish, was at inter
mediate prices with pork 50c lower,
lard IVi to 10c lower and ribs, 7jc
to low?r,a
Omaha Morlet Iicr.
Omaha 5c and Kansas City 1 to r lower,
cc mblned with favorable crop reports from
all sections, were the- ni:,n depressing
factors. The weakness and u.cllne In cash
wheat came from rcpjrts of a slack do
msnd for milling and export, rather th.an
from pressure of offerings, ss the receipts
showed a good dcclin,, from a week ago
and wore under' last :,car for this time
in pome months, th" prlirorles having
677,000 bushels, w hile s.iipmems wers 766,
000 bushel.
May corn was down to 614 or within
4c of the season's low. It srowed a drop
ot nearly 2c from the early high. At the
last, sales were at 66' to 65'ic the rally
being due to profit taking on short sales.
Oats were weak with wea'her and crop
reports bearish. Seeding 's wall along
and the crop is doing weli, with .Indies-.
Hons of a liberal ucrt-ago beir-g put In.
Profit taking was the mailt support at the
last, after the liquidators a. id iorts had
finished the bulk ot their soling. Cash
prices were 1 to 1i0 lower with sales of

Market; Movement to
North Anticipated.
1 lie langcs of Montana, Wyoming,
I'tali ami western Nebraska, where
there now is a great shortage of cat
tle, are r xiH-ctrtiaJftsjall up again soon.
, reduction of J.i per cent in freight
rates on range cattle shipped north
from the ranches of the southwest
will he put in effect by the failrOads
April 1 ami continue until July 15.
This is a i estoratiou of the old rte
existing prior to August 25 of last
year ami will not extend to live
stock shipped to market for slaugh
ter, despite rarlier statements that it
embraced all stock shipments.'
Grass and feed is plentiful in the
tiortlvrn ranges, but owing: to the
hio,h freight rales and the tightness
of credit, ranchers have not been able
to make the usual transfer of stock.
Cattle taken from the hot outhern
states an brought north nuke a bet
ter growth than if left in theirown
country, and every year thousands of
head have been moved.
Bankers' Must Provide Credit.
The railroads have done their bit
in lowering rates, transportation offi
cials say, and it is now up to the
bankers to provide credit for financ
ing the purchases.
"Wherever range rates have exist
ed, the cut in freight has been made."
said C. .1. Lane, general freight agnt
of the I'nioii Pacific system, yester
day. "The saving on a single car
containing 30 to 35 head of cattle will
amount to close to $100 in .many in
stances. Here, for instance, is the
rate between Fort Worth, Tex., and
Hillings, lon. Before the cut
it was $373.50 a long car and, under
the new scale, will.be only $280. This
is a saving to the cattleman of $93.50
and when it is considered that many
of them move herds containing- as
many as 1,000 head, the lowered cost
is quite an inducement.
Move Through Denver.
"Most of the cattle will niovc
through Denver, and little,' if any,
will be routed through Omaha. How
ever, when the cattle are fattened for
slaughter, they will be sent to the
Omaha market by the' trainload.
Grass and feed is bountiful on the
northern ranges and there is room
for two and one-half or three times
as many cattle as are now there. It
is now a problem for the stockmen
and the bankers to meet. There u a
real shortage of cattle in this terri
tory and the ranges should be filled
up.
"Southern cattle have been bred
up in late years to withstand the
northern winters. The long horns
and the dobies have been replaoed by
the white laces. While the old mon
grel breeds would giv up in he face
of snow and storms, the white faces
are full of fight, a.nd if they don't
gt hay, will go out and die tip the
snow to find grass. The cattle coun
try tributary to Omaha needs thete
cattle, and the railroads are more
than willing to do their part to set
them here."
