IS Close of Trade ' Depression Set for Midsummer Expression! From Financiers Indicate That Normal Busi ness Will Be Restored in Few Months. By HOLLAND. Judge E. H. Gary said to the stock holders of the United States Steel corporation at their recent annual meeting that he purposed holding the securities which he now possesses. This remark was capable of only one interpretation in the view of those who heard it. It means that Judge Gary is confident that the day is soon to conic when securities will com mand in the market prices which rep resent their real value and this also means that normal business will have been, probably to a great exent, re stored within a few months. Walter Clark Teagle, president of the Stand ard Oil company of New Jersey, ven tured to say at the annual conierencc between the employers and the em ploycs of that company that he and his associates believe that the worst of the present business depression has passed and that by midsummer his corporalion and others will be operat ing at their full capacity. Expect Improvement Soon. Colonel Samuel Colt of the United States Rubber company was glad to sav to the stockholders of that com- , pany that depression is ending and Jhat the outlook tor an early return ti business activity is excellent. It is observed that almost all of those who have recently spoken of the business depression and of the date when there will be full recognition of. the fact that it has ended, fix the early mid summer as that date. Judge Lovett specifically named July 1 as the date. Judge Gary does not identify any date as the time when there will be full recognition of the passing away of business depression, but his friends say he looks for recognition of this kind to be made by midsummer. President Teagle is confident that midsummer will be the time of re- Viewed business contentment. ft seerns te he the Impression with imi of the loader In thf financial district that the German Indemnity mas will have been removed before summer begins. Germany, em the one hand, and Frame and Kngland upon the other have been playing for posi tion, each seeking to make the beat bar Bain possible, but some, of our hankers be lieve that the day Is not distant when (lermany will yield 'to some of the de mand, while on the other hand France and Knsland will also be disposed to com promise. Italy standing apart almost lu h, uMitiirin nr a neutral or In one sense as the next friend of Germany on the one hand and of France- and England upon the other agree, that the entire world will feel relief from the burden which this German Indemnity matter has caused. Meanwhile Germany is. certainly regain ing some of Its commercial and industrial strength. The Washington authorities will probably be able to report early in July that the United States sold and sent to Germany, tn the-lJ month which will end on June 30. commodities far in excess of our experts to that country in any year befor tha great war began. Germany Buying Power. Tn some way not yet fully explained, Germany tl revealing, at least to th? United States, that It la In possession of very great buying power. Were this not the fact it would be impossible to report, as It will be reported1 within the next two months, that In tha 13 months of tho present fiscal year Germany bought and Imported American commodities ,ajrater in -money value measured by dollars than In any previous year. Probably the Washington authorities will report early in July thvt yemiany bought and Imported American commodities in the 13 months of tha present fiscal year the money value of --which waa nearly 1450.000,000. In some way not yet under stood Germany has found itself in posi tion to buy and pay for American com modities unprecedented In money value by It purehnse in any preeedlng year. Prob ably It has received the aid of large credits. ' Perhape news of the heavy In stallment of gold now going to this country h-ahs out from Germany. There la also considerable Investment In American capi tal in Germany. What Germany Needed. Germany needed food and was able to Kt it nowhere else than in the United States. It' bought Tour, wheat, lard and bacon In enormous amounts. In fact no other country In the world purchased so much American bacon except Great Brit ain as Germany has been purchasing since July 1 of last year. It was compelled to buy cotton and took $80,000,000 worth of It. Iaa was In great need of copper and. bought $15,000,000 worth and the re vival of her Industrie was made evident by the fact that it bought nearly 10, A00.000 worth of lubricating oil In the United States. One encouraglsg feature to be discovered in the record of this un expectedly large trade with Germany 1b the evidence which It furnishes of Ger many's recuperative strength and therefore of ita ability fully to meet the indemnity or reparation upon which final agreement may be made within a short time.

Early trading was very limited, however, and later bids and sales were unevenly lower, anywhere from weak to a quarter lower than Tuesday. This was true of both beef steers and cow stuff and the decline of 25 950c this week carried prices to the lowest point of the year. There were only a few stockers and feeders on sale and price were nominally un changed. , Quotations on cattle: Choice to prime beeves. $7.75 8.90; good to choice beeves. 17.4007.75: fair to good neeves. if.intj 7.25: common to fair beeves, $6.25(86.75: good to choice yearlings. $7.60; fair to good yearling. t7.9A7.S0: common to fair yearlings. 16.267.10: choice to prime heifers. 17.00iQi7.50; good to choic heifers, $0.007.00: choice to prime cows, IIS.507.10; good to choice cows. $5,760 6.50; fair to good cows, n wa d.ij; com mon to fair cows. $3.004.25; good to choice feeders. $7.007.60; fair to good feeders, $6. 264i7.00; common to fair feeders. $5.50016.00; good to choice stock ers, $6.7667.25; fair to good etocfters.

Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee Leased Wire. Chicago, April 27. Traders friend ly to the constructive side of the grain markets were disappointed by their action, as eatfy bulges etnpna sized at the last and made a weak close with prices around the lowest of the day. Net loses for the day were 3-4 to 7-8c on wheat, 1-2 to S-8c on corn and oats while rye was practically unchanged to 1 l-4c high er, the latter on May. The demand was better than the supply early, but the conditions were reversed later. Politics abroad are a leading factor in the markets at present and trad ers are to a considerable extent more interested in the future than in the present conditions. Export buving of wheat was con fined to l,300,0UO bushels taken by Greece, a good part of which is un derstood to be for shipment from the gulf. Milling demand was good, but checked by the light offerings. Trad ers worked on the bull side most of the morning with a fair amount of news in their favor, but as it failed to bring in outside help, the local operators tired of going it alone and they started to sell. They had plenty of bompany on that side toward the last. July at the top waa $1.07 Vi, while the finish was around $1.04 V- Traders who were active on the buying side early wore sellers later as the lark of outside support became as striking as on Monday when the markets acted similar to today. One of the reasons for the later selling was that Germany will be out of the market until after May 1 and that the export demand hod fallen off. Crop news, foreign and domestic, was favorable, the weekly government report confirming most of the private advices. Reports from Glasgow, Mo., said old wheat had sold there at $1. hut failed to tell of its condition and added that farmers were willing to sell new at 75c. fern Break at Finish. ' Loral traders who tried to advance corn prices during the morning raised prices ic to 60 Vic for May and 63"4o for July, but they sold at the last when wheat broke and the finish waa on a break of 14c to l4c. Export buying was lighter with only 176.000 bushels sold to Mon treal and Buffalo and charters for 17,000 bushels to Buffalo at 3c. Holland re ported corn arriving there out of con dition. Cash prices here were Ho to lc higher early, but closed easy. Changes from May to July were at 8o difference. Country offerings were fair, as Illinois and Indiana farmers are disposed to sen. Rains have delayed planting, but the sit uation Is not serious, as more corn land has been prepared so far than laat year. Oats were sold b the buyers of the past f"W days, who gave up tryinc to go: a goofl advance. Support was poor and prices dropped lc to Hie, with May lead ing. Cash lots were He higher, but closed weak. Shipping sales were 46,000 bushels and arrivals 74 cars. May rye was wanted by seaboard houses, who found offerings light and prices ad vanced 3c with a reaction of e. Dis tant futures were quiet and closed easy. Nothing wa heard of the export demand. Pit Notes. Winnipeg receipts wera 80 cars against 300 last week and 232 a year ago. Price Current Grain Reporter says: "The soil condition la now reported too wet In considerable portions of the states of Ohio, Indiana and Missouri and almost entirely 'favorable' in the states of Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas and Okla homa. It would seem that there are no critical condition tn sight, although the freealng weather that has occurred dur ing the last 2 weeks was detrimental to the oats crop in the northern sections and a small acreage is reported being replanted." F. H. Babcock of Thomson & lie Ktnnon says: "Supply and demand In evitably determine values, but at times extraneous matters delay the final out come. Just now the grain trade is more interested in jvorld politics and the crop outlook than in the fact that there Is a foreign demand for all of our supplies of the old crop, also for the new crop. It 1 only a matter of time when thla demand will be all Important." "The situation In India Is rather significant as summarized In foreign crop conditions," said E. A. Boemer of Stein, Alateln A Co. "Grain prices are gradually rising In this country and north and central sections are bringing in rice from Burma. Here la a country whicti normally supplies a moderate share of the world's exportable surplus of wheat, faced with the situation of not only being unable te make further exports but short ly may be in a position where it will be found necessary to swing te the other side and become an Importing country In order to supply ita domestic needs." Rules for trading In cotton seed oil on the Chicago Board of Trade were posted on the bulletin board preparatory to taking a ballot. New Tork Coffee. ' New Tork. April 27. There were sharp rallies In the market for coffee futures here today, which seemed more largely the result of local technical conditions than of any fresh feature in the general news or in advances from Brazil. The notice issued against May contracts were estimated at fully 100,000 bags, but the liquidation of the near month was quick ly absorbed at about the recent late month premiums and after opening 1 to 6 points lower, prices firmed uup on cov ering. May was relatively firm, selling Up from 5.40c to 6.37c, while September advanced from 6.25c to 6,52c, The close was at the best price of the day, show ing a net advance Of 20 to 25 points. May, 5.72c; July, 6.11c; September, 6.62c; October, 4.69c; December, 7.03c; January, 7.13; March. 7.35c. Spot coffee was reported In better de mand at 6c to 6c for Rio 7s, and 84o to 9Hc for Santos 4s. New York Cotton'. New Tork, April 27. Tne New Tork cotton opening was rather narrow today, awaiting further action In the British coal strike. First prices were ! points higher to 7 points lower and the market ruled quiet around opening prices. Local traders and aouthern wire houses sold most of the cotton at the opening. Com mission houses bought. After selling off to 12.84c for July, prices held generally steady en continued reports of delays In the new crop start. Prices held steady on a private re port pointing to a reduction of 31 per Cent In acreage and unfavorable weather In the south, but were a few points off from the best shortly after midday.

The out standing topic of discussion on to day's financial market was the re duction in the Pennsylvania rail road dividend to the lowest rate since 1878 when it resumed the pay ments to shareholders, whicti had been suspended during the crippling of traffic by the famous Pittsburgh riots and the business reaction fol lowing 1873. The 4 per cent yearly rate now fixed follows 6 per cent maintained since the rails last ad vanced in the return of prosperity during 1899, a'fter the later panic period. This action bv the Pennsylanvia was not expected. It had been pretty clearly foreshadowed as a re sult, first of the great diversion of the company's normal traffic to other carriers during wartime government operation (when the Pennsylvaynia was made all but exclusive a high way for war material) and second, of the failure of the commerce com mission's new railway rates of 1920 to meet in a period of hard times the increased wage cost imposed by the labor board. Britain Reduces Kates, Discussion of the Bank of England's policy on its official discount rate, was revived today bv the announcement that the British government lied again reduced Its Interest rate on treasury bills, this time to 614 per cent. When the treasury bill rate was advanced from &V4 per cent to SSi on April 15. last year, the Dank ol England raised lis discount rate from 6 4 to 7 on tha following day. The treasury bill rate, after being maintained un changed for nearly a year, was reduced from 6H to 6 on the 11th of last March and it was then tho expectation In Lon don that the Bank of England would follow suit. It did riot do so, perhaps be cause of Its very low reserve percentage, perhaps becaiiso of the critical Uncertain ties surrounding the labor situation and the German negotiations. Whether those counter consideration will again cause the bank managers to refuse a lower rate tomorrow remains a matter of conjecture. But the treasury's action on its own official discount rate the day before the meeting seems at least to be a strong hint from the government. The midweek reviews of the steel and Iron trade agree that while sentiment is more hopeful In the trade actual demand has improved only slightly. The steel corporation Is estimated to be operating somewhat below 40 per cent of capacity, whereas a week ago It was calculated to be producing; only one-third of normal output. An interesting point made by the Iron Age is that notwithstanding the very low output of building material during; February and March, nevertheless the six months ending with last March gave, more business In fabricated steel by 1 per cent than the six months immediately folow Ing the signing of the armistice.
