MONDAY, JANUARY 19, 1925 PAGY SEVEN, Livestock :: All Markets fhe Casper Dally Cridune es o¢ : Finance :: Bonds :: Stocks Grain Oil : Standardization of Weight Of Bread Loaves Occupies |aw= Attention of Legislature By J. C. ROYLE. (Copyright, 1925, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Bread has been handled with gloves since 330, B. C. when Anararcos, a man about town in the retinue of Alex- ander the Great refused all bread and pastry not kneaded by slaves with gloves. But the subject of the ‘standard size of a loaf of bread is now being handled without gloves by members of congress and ‘master bakers. The controversy is being waged fiercely around legislation designed to compel bakers to pro- duce loaves of bread weighing 16 ounces. Representative Brand, of Ohio, and Senator Capper, of Kansas, are sponsoring this legislation in the youse and senate, respectively. They declare that enormous profits have accrued from bread making in late years and that the public should be protected against short weight bread. On the other hand, repre- sentatives of the bakers declare em- phatically that size and welght have little, if anything, to do with the nutritive value of a loaf of bread or its palatableness and that regulation of the weight of loaves would simply add bulk and not sustenance. “Machinery has been invented do- ing away with most of the labor of bread-making,”’ Brand stated today. “Bread materials are mixed by ma- chinery, the dough is heated by ma- chinery, kneaded by machinery, raised by mechanical devices, baked by mechanical help and wrapped by machines. Labor {s only used to watch machinery work. We are probably making bread at the low- est labor cost of any country in the world. We sell bread at 8 to 9 cents a pound, or what purports to be a pound loaf. When I was in Eng- Jand last July I found bread selling for 4%4 cents a pound. In France, Italy and Greece, I found bread sell- ing for 3 cents a pound. In Burope, tho consumer receives full weight as all bread is sold by weight. In the United States, an amount equal to two ounces and even four, is pinched off and this total of short weight {s costing the American peo- ple $100,000,00 a year.” Brand wound up with a comment on the recent merger of bakeries under the namo of the Continental Baking corporation, ‘The baking interests, in reply, de- clared today that modern develop- ments in bread making did not stress size or weight of loaf, but nutritive value. They pointed out that it was perfectly possible to make bread with no other materials than flour, water, yeast and salt. The modern loaf, however, as pro- duced in America, not only contains a maximum of nutriment but fs pre- pared and distributed in a thorough- ly sanitary way, the cost of such preparation and distribution out- weighing the cost of the new ma- terials. George G, Barber, chairman of the bgard of the Continental corporation, sald: “The bread bustness can not longer be considered a single unit but must be definitely co-related with a number of other businesses, such as milling, sugar, eggs and milk, paper containers and trans- portation. “Our organization, for example, requires annually proximately three million barrels of flour, 30 million pounds of sugar, 6,500,000 pounds of eggs, 600,000 pounds of butter and about one million pounds of shortening. Other commodities required amount to nearly $14,000,- 000 a year, including raisins, paper and containers. The baking bust- ness never can become a monopoly. No business can which has to meet competition of the housewives of the country. Give the public what pleases its taste at a price Which is right and you will have a steadily increasing market for your product. But fail to please that taste or try to sell the product at a price not commensurate with value and you are likely to be deserted by your patrons who can and will take bread making” back to their own kitchens.” He added that 50 per cent of the bread consumed in America ts still made in the home, where nutritive value and not weight was the stand- ard employed and declared the fer- sighted baker would rather increase his profits by increasing volume of business than by making a large profit per loaf. William B. Ward, to whom bread-making {= not only a family tradition but is regarded as a public service regulation, de- clares that each loaf having the germ of life within it, has an in- dividuality and that the production of bread under a fixed standard of welght means no added benefit or saving to the consumer. Commodity Trade News Steel PITTSBURGH, Jan. 19—The Car. negie Steel company has added four blast furnaces, giving to total of 44 furnaces in operation out of 5§. Two furnaces will go in at the Monon- gabela Valley soon, it is announced. Jones and Laughlin has 11 of its 12 furnaces here in operation. oil SAN FRANCISCO—OIl production in California for the first two weeks of January shows a gain of approx imately two thousand barrels datly ever December, January dafly pro- duction to date has been 605,500 bar- rels. Several wells drilled in the Dominguez tield or southern Call- fornia are responsible for the in- crease, Cotton ATLANTA,—Hundreds of bankers and business leaders throughout the southwest have plndged their assist- ance to discourage over-planting of cotten in 1925 and to encourage farmers who first undertake raising of livestock and foodstuffs sufficient Yor their own use. ¥Fratt JEFFERSON CITY, Mo.—Ozark frult growers, through their co-op- erative association, handled products valued at $1,424,000 last year. The Ozark farmers are mulching straw- berries to prevent freezing and southwestern Missouri {s expected to produce 1500 carloads as against 1000 last year. Paint NEW YORK—The plan of paint manufacturers to finance the re- painting of homes in 100 American cities, awners to repay expenditures on a part payment schedule, will go into effect Monday. The fihancing inolves about $30,000,000, Sugar HOLLAND, Mich.—The &t. Loule Sugar company has completed -slic- ing of beets for the season, with a total tonnage of 61,000 for which $465,000 was paid growers and which yielded 18,500,000 pounds of sugar. Sugar content and acre! of beats was considerable above récords of previous years, Everyman’s Chance For Shrewd Buyer In my last article I had something to say about railroad stocks and their rating aa investments. It ts rarely advisable to buy any stock when prices are rising with great rapidity and speculative enthusiasrn fs at its height. That Is to say it is not advisable if investment is the purpose, 8 ulation is governed by a different rule, With that we are not concerned here, Investors will do better to select their com- mon stock which they expect to re- tain over a long period in times of market depression. All this seems self evident but it needs to be em- phasized in times like these. There is another point deserving of attention in this connection, When interest {s concentrated upoy the stock market, investment bonds are neglected and it {s often possible for. the shrewd buyer to pick up bar- gains while nobody {ts looking, so to speak, Bonds of inevstment ‘quality have little or no speculative possibilities and because price fluc- tuations are narrow and slow they are not usually favored by traders who are anxiaus for “action.” I a mmnot referring to bonds of the highest and most conservative CLEVELAND, Jan. 19.—The Union Mortgage company announced today that in anticipation of a large building demand the-toncern would have from $7,000,000 to $10,000,000 avallabie April 1 for loans to be placed for building of single and two-family houses. DETROIT, Jan. 19,— Industrial amployment in thé last week made Investment grade in this discussion Issues of that rank are responsive in market price only to changes in the cur rent charge for money. There are, however, plenty of reasonably good bonds yielding a fair return in a position to be benefited by improve- ment In the financial affairs of the corporation of which they are ob- ligations but whitch are generally overlooked while speculators are rushing to buy stocks of the same companies. This applies to railroad bonds and the conditions T have de- scribed was yery evident in the railroad stock and bond market the past two months, Preferred stocks on which divi. dends are not now being paid but on which there are large back ac- cumulations were rushed up to record prices all in antictpation of good things to come while the sound bonds of the same compantés on which interest was belng earned and paid hardly moved at all. And yet if the outlook for that patticular railroad was so much brighter as to justify the speculative advance in its stocks, its bonds had greater claim to investment merit than they had before. It will pay {nvestors to look into such price discrepancies, v tho biggest gain in months, increase ing 7444 to 204,780, the highest point since last May. WASHINGTON, Jan. 19—Sena- tor Walsh, democrat, Montana, an- nounced today he would call up in the senate tomorrow the majority report on the ol] investfgation.

Trade and financial news was largely favorable, including lower money rates, new high rec- ords by wheat and corn prices and encouraging business developments. Sales approximated 1,400,000 shares. Stock prices displayed rx strong tone at the opening of today’s mar- ket with buying orders spread over a broad list. United States Cast Iron Pipe advanced 2 points and Foundation Company 1%, buying of the latter being stimulated by the announcement that the pre- ferred stock would be retired. Dav- ison Chemical and General Asphalt each advanced a point. American Sugar issues responded favorably to the publication of an analysis of the company’s earnings for the last ten years, the common advancing 2% and the preferred 3%. United States Steel crossed 126 to the highest price since 1917. United States Realty advanced 8% and Eastman Kodak, Sears Roebuck and Mack Truck 2 each. Amonk the many issues to advance a point or more were Pan American B, Read- ing, St. Louls Southwestern, Gen- eral Electric, Gulf States, St and Symington. Foreign exchanges opened frregular. Demand sterling moved up above 4.78 and French francs rallied above 6.40 cents, but Itallan lire were heavy, selling at 4-14 cents. Bullish demonstrations {n the spec- lalties were used as a screen to coy- er profit taking in a number of standard industrials, during the morning. Lower call money rates, tons and the commodity price aver- age at the highest level since 1920 accounted for the general bullish sentiment. Associated Dry Goods dropped 4% points below Saturday’s closing quotations, Du Pont 3% and Baldwin, American, General Motors and Mexican Seaboard Ot] sold off a polnt or more, United States Steel dropped from 126% to 125% before it met sufficient support to withstand the volume of realizin| Sharp gains took place in other qua’ ters, Nash Motors soaring 9% points, Wickwire Spencer preferred six, Jersey Gentral five and United Fruit 4%, but the turnover in each stock was relatively small, Low- ering of the call money renewal rate to 3% percent, followed by its sub- sequent drop to 3, reflected the un- usually heavy exces reserve shown in the weekly clearing house state- ment last Saturday. Selling pressure culminated with a drive against Lehigh Valley and Mexican Seaboard Oil, which fell 2 to 3% points respectively. The market thereafter evinced a hardening tendency, bear operators seemingly being impressed by the accumulation of various specialties, some of which touched record prices. Nash Motors continued its remark- able rise, touching 290, an advance of 20 points, Pacific Telephone and Telegraph improved five and Unt- versal Pipe preferred and Burroughs Adding Machine four each. The closing was heavy. Selling for both accounts was resumed in the ate trading, several of the Pppular rails and industrials falling below last week's closing quotations.

May delivery of wheat went to above $1.90 a bushel, con- trasting sharply against the former top record of $1.88 Yat the close on Saturday, The new advance in values here was more or less due to the fact that the Liverpool market showed @ decided upturn above Sat- urday’s quotations. Chicago open- ing prices, which varied from un- changed figures to 2%c higher, May 1.88% to $1.90 and July $1.64% to 1.65, were soon followed by addi- tional gains, despite heavy selling to realize profits. Export business in wheat said to be huge. Corn and oats derived their strength largely from wheat. Be- sides country buying of oats con- tinued active. After opening at %c to 1%c higher, May, $1.85 to $1.36, the corn market scored a quick fur- ther advance. Oats started at Mo to lio gain, with May 63% to 63%c. A further rise ensued. Provisions were responstve to the action of grain as well as to higher quotations on hogs. Possibility of @ crop scarce later in the season gave relatively greater strength to July than to May. The wheat market was also affected by estimates current that Germany and Scandinavia would need tmmense quantities of rye, Wheat closed firm, 1%o to 8%o net higher, May $1.90% to $1.90% and July $1.66% to $1.67. Profit taking sales tn corn fafled to check the price bulges, being off- set by the fact that receipts were falling off in volume. Corn closed firm, 1%c to 2%c net higher, May $1.37% to $1.87%4.

Judge Albert Lee Stephens held that a separation agreement entered into between the Harts was illegal and in contravention of the code The case was a suit by Mrs. Hart for cancellation of the clause in the separation agreement by which she had agreed not to retu screen work.
