Already Noted
Says Merchant
German Reparation and Fop
'" eign Exchange Situations
Indicate Rapid Stabiiza
tion of Business.
: By HOLLAND. .
Joieph H. Enery, who is the
executive head of one of the large
merchandising corporations, said in
midwinter that he did not look for
' any improvement in trade before mid
! summer. He has changed his opin
; ion. Yesterday he said that by May
' 1 considerable improvement had
taken place in the trade with which
he is identified and although he did
not put the statement into words yet
his intimation was clear that he
looked for continued improvement.
This is only one of many state
ments of like import which have been
made since mid-April by some who
are of high authority in trade and
mercantile conditions. It is said that
the stock market discounts ten
dencies. Is discounting of that kind
now in progress? If it be then the
securities market is beyond Question
showing that the irresistible force of
fundamental tendencies is now influ
encing that marker. , It may be that
these influence is not at yet very
strong. But It is certainly different
from the liquidation which began
months ago and which reached its
lowest point in December of last
J'ear.
Ktabllhtatlon Tendemtlea.
One of th ablest of the eoonomio au
thorltlea In New Tork city has called
the Attention of his friends to what he
regard aa th trend of devclopmant. Ha
la certain, a almost all tha lcadcra in
tha flnnni'lnl district are, that tha Ocr
man reparation problem la approaching a
axttlamerrt. It hla opinion be correct, i
settlement of that kind will ba of bene
fit to the entire world. Foreign exchange!
ara .nooestlonably tending toward stabl
ligation and when thla la accomplished
It wtll ba of great help. The tact that
stabilization la In progress la one of tha
favorable fundamental tendencies. Foreign
trade credits are sure to expand and thla
tiifvini an Increase of our trade with
other parts of the world. The English
coal strike Is not yet ended, but the be
lief hero M that progress- la towards a
uttleinent of what was one time a very
dangerous condition.
Presumably railroad rates and wage
ara tending downward, although it may
ba aotne time before the adjustment is
aatlsfaetiiry. But the tendency la recog
nised and It constitutes one ot the Influ
tjnree which! are inspiring hope and con
fidence. .
Steel Industry.
Although the steel Industry la unnue
tloaobly somewhat depressed and produc
tion reduced t nbont 40 per cent, never
thtlese, the tendency towards reduction In
tfce prices heretofore quoted for ateel and
alao reduction of wages which will match
the reduction in price, win In all probabil
ity be followed by a revival ot order.
While tha ateel industry as a whole la
ov somewhat depressed, nevertheless the
various corporations engaged In thla Irt
iuatry have ao directed their affaire that
they were able to accumulate large aur
ntuwt1. For Instance, the United States
Bteel corporation has a surplus of con
siderably over 1500,000,000, whereas, eight
veara ago th aurplua was only 16S.08,
004 in round numbera. Tha Bethlehem
company reporta a surplus of nearly 111,
000,000 and that la la.ooo.000 mora than it
Had in 191(1.. Tha Crucible, the Lackawan
na, the Jtldvale and the Republic report
.large lncreaar-a In their surplus.
It la upon these surpluses that tha ateel
l duatrlea will rely In great meaaura for
assistance go that they may be able to
Hv during thla period of dcpresalon.
Money 1. to be mora plentiful.
Industrial production la increasing on
tha whole and it ia Increasing enormoue
ly In the automobile industry. So far as
It la posalbla to forecast the harvests of
next summer and of early autumn the
outlook la, weather permitting, tha har
vesting of ona of the largest crops on
root1, Irw.l.tlMe Tort.
taU In tha winter and aarly In the
apring aoraa who hava been giving care,
ful stody t. present day cond tiona felt
3atmd'l saying that tha irresistible
fundamental forces were coming into
play They are factors which ara in
fluential In bringing about the ret,in?i
normal prosperity. Soma hava eald that
wa do not need tha gold which la flowing
in mighty currents from others parts ot
th world to tha United States. t It de
pends upon what Is meant by tha word
f'need". whether thla atatament I ac
ourata or not. From ona point of View
wa do not need the gold. From another,
tha possession of this gold wilt undoub-
edly tend to check further deflation and
will ease tho credit situation. New Tork
heart that In a. short time thera la likely
to ba reduction ot discount rates in aev
aral dlstrlcta in tha Country, almllar to
tha Boaton dietrlet where a reduction has
already taken place.
Arctic and Tropica.
Th praaldant of one of the larger oil
producing corporatlona of tha United
State Is, now In Mexico, or wa recently
' there, presumably having been summoned
by tha reporta which reached New York 1
that an oil wall upon hla property had
been drilled from which approximately
40.000 barrel ot oil were dally flowing.
Qther well in Mexico are reported to be
yielding phenomenally end it the reporta
be correct they will serve to counteract
some of the nnfavofable reports which
have reached New York respecting tha
Mexican oil field. The ablest oil authori
ties believe that new Mexican field are
to yield enormously. These fields are In
th tropic of those of South America.
But It I the impression that far away !
under th Aretl circle oil fields are soon
to be exploited which may match in their
output some ot the greatest that have
been operated either in the United States
or In Mexico. Certainly there would not
be a large investment ot capital for, tha
working of these Arctic oil fields and the
transportation ot oil by pipe line for ,
more than 10.00 mile unlena there ware
'oaftdeftce that the oil production there
. would Justify th outlay.

By ALEXANDER DANA NOYES.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Bee leased Wire,
New York, May 7. A week un
usually interesting; for its occurrences
on financial markets .ended today
with another vigorous advance in
European exchange rates, which con
tinued the show of strength in the
bond market and with the irregular
movement which was t& be expected
at the week-end in the price of stocks.
Sterling exchange reached $3.98?
in the early trading; a rate which has
not been touched since April 9, last
year, and which in fact, was equaled
or exceeded on only three days of
1920. The high point of a year ago,
$4.064, was reached in one day's
violent rise from a rate below that
of today, and was not maintained.
Exchange on France and Italy also
rose today to the present year's
highest rate and. notwithstanding re
action before the close, the market's
trend was unmistakable.
Foreign exchange is in these days so
highly speculative a market that most
people are rightly on their guard against
inferring too much from lta extreme move-d
menta. The cables enow, in fact, tnat tnc
sterling rate on two such neutral markets
as London and Stockholm did not advance
at all last week, but' closed fractionally
lower. Still it Is probably safe to assume
that the week's great atrength of New
York exchange on tha markets of the
entente powers Indicstea the belief of
speculative markets that Germany will
this time come to terms. If that happens
and we shall know during the next few
days Its effect on the European markets,
and probably on our own, would be con
siderable.
Motor Stocks Drop.
On the stock exchange tha natural week
end reaction was, for a time, somewhat
emphasized today by news of a cut in
price by on well-known motor, car con
cern. A few week ago one wouia nave
said that this was touching Wall street
In a sensitive point, for the automobile
Industry had been somewhat prematurely
ataiad aa an industry already far on the
way to revival of prosperity. I caused
declines in a number of stocks, but they
were mostly (hares in companies of that
industry, the rest of the market holding
firm and closing very generally at frac
tional net advances.
Comparison of last week's closing prices
with those of the week preceding shows a
long list of striking gains, the advance as
a whole being perhaps larger and better
distributed than in any week since .the
first fortnight of January. Compared with
the year's low nrlces (very generally
reached in March Or April) recovery of
8 to 10 point has occurred in many actitve
shares, both railway ana industrial.
A fairly long list of industrial stocks
reached, last week, the highest prices of
1324, to date and the same thing can be
said of a smaller number of railway bonds,
of nearly half the European government
and money bond dealt In on our stock
exchange, and the United States victory

By CHARLES D. MICHAELS.
Chicago Tribune-Omaha lice Leased Wire.
Chicago, May 7. A heavily over
bought condition was disclosed in the
grain markets today. Commission
houses were free sellers of wheat as
the result of highly beneficial rains
over the southwest and west, where
moisture was much needed, and
prices declined 3'j(&7c. with a lack
.of support. The close was at a net
loss of 694c On May, while July was
off 3c. Other grains were in
fluenced by the action of wheat and
closed with corn and oats off H
ljtc and rye 3f44jc.
Sentiment among commission
houses and local traders underwent
considerable change as the result of
the rains in the southwest, and at no
time was there the free buying which
has been such a feature of late. The
technical position of the market had
been greatly weakened by trie recent
bulge and it was in no condition to
withstand any great increase in sell
ing pressure.
Prospects for Good Yield.
The forecast was for showers over the
entire winter and spring grain belt and
orop reports showed considerable im
provement In many Instance in the south
west, a careful examination showing that
SO far there had been no material dam
age, and with rains, a good yield could oe
secured.
A report that Ehgland was trying to re.
soil wheat was responsible for .May lead
ing the decline. Messages from New
York said English buyers had reeold 60.
000 bushels bousht for nearby shipment
and replaced with purchases for deferred
shipment at lower prices, Liverpool
October was quoted at $1.49 per bushel.
Argentine grain, for May shipment was
quoted at ekual to $1.74 per bushel c. 1. f.
Europe, or about 18 cents higher than
American hard winter via the Gulf,
while export bids for deferred shipment
received by local houses werp 9c out of
line. The trado also had reports that
Omaha and Minnapolla had sold, wheat
to come to Chicago.
May Corn Slumps.
A rush to soil May corn at tho open
ing carried the price off 2 cents to 68 'io
or 4 cents Under the July. The wide
difference led cash houses to buy May
and sell July and the spread narrowed
quickly. Sentiment was rather bearish,
due to the decline In wheat and reports
that planting would be fair gcneraiy
next week in tho west with favorable
weather and Is already under way in some
sections of Illinois, Iowa and Missouri.
, Exporters were after corn, with sales
of 378.000 bushels and oharters were made
for 120,000 bushels at 9c to Montreal.
Sample values were lc lower, with re
ceipts 192 cars, t is expected that local
stocks will show a decrease of over 2,-
000,000 bushels for the week, as receipts
were 1,732,000 bushels and shipments
4,366,000 bushels. Country offerings were
not laree.
Buying of Septcmbr oats by AVagnor;
was a feature 111 that market ana wnnc
prices avoraged lower, th undertone waa
not as weak as in wheat. Crop reports
were more favorable on account of the
rains, which will check deterioration in
the dry sections of the southwest. Do-
mestlo shipping demand was fair, with
sales of 110,000 bushels. Sample values
were lc lower with receipts 68 cars.
Scattered liquidation was on in rye
with the bulk of the trade in buying
September against sales of July wheat.
Support came mainly from shorts in the
May. Cash demand was slow and sold
No. 2 in tho sample market May price
of lc under.
Pit Notes.
Tho break of 9o in May and cash wheat
from the high point of Friday came as
the result of better crop reports, due to
rains and to heavy selling by a half
dozen large local professions who were
taking profits. They did not like the
decline in cash premiums and with the
bull edge off the crop newa they were
disposed to Bell. The 30c in two weeks
made It attractive to holders.
Another decreasing factor was the sell
ing against the weekly indemnities which
showed a good profit. The trade has
been more nearly evened up In May and
while there is a large holding sharp fluc
tuations are to be expected. Those who
have been long on July were moderate
sellers and expect to get their grain back
at a lower price.
A government crop report for May is
due in Chicago at 2:16 p. m.. Monday.
It will give the revised acreage of spring
plowing. Estimates on winter wheat crop
are 635,000,000 to 645,000.000 bushels. Last
month was 621,000,000 bushels, and last
year's harvest 677,000,000 bushels. Esti
mated condition Is 87.5 to 90. In April
It wa 91. The par basis in advanced
about a half a bushel per acre. Loss of
acreage Is estimated at ground 3 per
cent, ranging from 400,000 to 2,000,000
acres.
A Kansas City exporter wired that lie
wa buying cash wheat at 17c over May
against 23c over three days ago. Bids
to the country, track Texas City or Gal-,
veston, have been reduced to 19e over
Chicago May for 10 day shipment.
"Wheat' and oats made good progress
since I was here last." said Le Cmint
from Lincoln. "Condition in this territory
Is uniformly good. Corn planting quite
general. Soil in fine condition."
A good part of the early selling of
May and July corn was attributed to a
house that has been doing a large export
buslnes in that grain t late. . .

A Splendid Growth
The Result of Real Service
THE Peters National Bank opened for business on
the 20th of last September eight months ago.
Since that time the Comptroller of the Currency has
issuer! four calls to National Banks asking for a state
ment of their condition. Each call has found the de
posits of the Peters National Bank growing as follows:
Nov. 15, 1920 . . .$400,755.19
Dec. 29,1920... 661,446.09
Feb. 21,1921...,. 742,858.63
Apr, 28,1921... 880,057.87
A growth like this is not the result of accident. This
growth has come because we offer here in one big room
, a complete personal financial service that is not avail
able elsewhere.
"v Ibe officers or the feters trust Company and the
! Peters National Bank extend vou a most cordial invitA.
tion to transact here your personal banking business.
