HEFFERNAN, NEW YORK, April 1.—The flurry of buying in the radio group on the curb exchange today was shortlived stocks advanced to their best prices since the end of the big downward swing profit taking sales made themselves felt and prices fell back. Freed-Eisemann was the out- standing feature of the early deal- ings, getting up about 4 points, as| compared with the previous day's| final, then losing a good part of this gain. Hazeltine likewise shot for- ward, only to cancel a portion of its advance. At their highs these stocks and as these were from a fraction to 4 points above the Tuesday close. Ware Radio, Freshman, Music Master, joined in the upturn, while it lasted. Along with the radio shares the in- dependent. oiis were in better demand. In this quarter Gibson Oil attracted some attention on reports of impending drilling operations. The Standard Oil shares were scarcely changed, the public utility stocks held firm and mining issues developed little activity. The market generally seemed content to pursue a leisurely course awalting & fresh stimulus to carry it out of its rut.

DOYL Special Dispatch to The Star. MUSCLE SHOALS, Ala., April 1— The first obstacle on which President Coolidge's committee to Investigate the proper thing to do with Muscle Shoals will stub its foot is the manu- facture of nitrates. Every time ni- trates are mentioned prospective seekers after the right to operate the great hydro-electric power de- velopment on the Tennessee River duck with the unanimity of untried troops hearing the whine of a rifle bullet There 1s no question that big financial interests desire to lease the electric power of Muscle Shoals over a long term The tremendous In- dustrial and commercial development of the South now in prospect assures hat. The trouble is they want to et George do {t" when it comes to manufacturing nitrates. Congress has specifically provided that the nitrate plants must be maintained and operated, to provide material for munitions in time of war and to provide ingredients for fertilizer In time of peace. Nitrate Costs Unknown. The truth is, nobodv seems to know just how much it is going to cost to make nitrates. The two nitrate plants have a capacity estimated at 40,000 tons a year. There is no doubt that nitrates can be manufactured from the air in the plants at Muscle Shoals and utilized to form practically any com- mercial product containing nitrogen in conjunction with other chemical el ments. The process, briefly, is to com- press air to liquid form and force it through jets over a bed of intensely hot incandescent lime in an electric converter, releasing the nitrogen in The finest ice cream in the City of Washington " Today, no city in the United States offers you better ice cream than the D. €, WEDNESDAY the air and combining it with other elements. The commerclal chemicals formed, such as calefum nitrate and others, are of some value, but no one in this section seems willing even to guess what profit or loss might be encoun- tered In the manufacture of 40,000 tons of nitrates a year. Governnlent Ald4 Sought. The Ford offer, now withdrawn, provided for the operation of the plants on a cost-plus basis. It is understood the American Cyanide in- terests might be willing to operate the plants under a guarantee against loss by the Government, but the nitrates continue to fly in the Muscle Shoals olntment. Well informed men here do mot minimize eeither the war or peac time importancé of the nitrate, but they point out that this importance may easily be overemphasized. They declare that, while 40,000 tons a year might serve an invaluable purpose in a defensive war, it would scarcely fill the national needs in a protracted struggle. In the World War the sums paid for nitrates to Chile by the United States were large enough to run that South American government No thinking man in the country minimizes the importance of furnish- ing cheap fertilizer. Still it {s an admitted fact that the cotton planters will use less by far than in 1924. The South is In better shape, even at that, than the West, since here, with an eight or nine month growing sea- gon, it s possible to revivify the soil by plowing under the legumens, such as cowpeas, and thus restore nitro- gen to the soil. Animal fertilizer is decreasing. The day when every town had at least one livery stable is gone and prices have riser in con- sequence. Leasing Offer Spurned. Nevertheless, men who might take over operation of Muscle Shoals have learned that the farmer is like- 1y to buy what he wants, not what he needs. Therefore, they are per fectly willing for some one else to do the experimenting with nitrates The Alabama Power Company, which in conjunction with other electric power concerns of the South made an offer to lease the current from the Muscle Shoals project, offered free current to operate the nitrate plants to any one who would operate them, but nobody surged up with an acceptance. Any temporary leasing of the power developed here is mere- 1y a stop-gap in the situation. APRIL 1, 1925, EVERYMAN’S INVESTMENTS BY CEORGE T. HUGHES. Tragedy of the German Mark. On the ‘Gth of July next the cur- tain will be rung down on what is probably the greatest specu’ative tragedy in all history. On that day will expire the privilege extended to holders of the old German paper marks to turn them In for the new reichs marks. At the present rate the value of one quadrilllon marks is about $250. No one knows how much money was lost by Americans and other non- German purchasers of these paper marks. Estimates as to the cost to “investors” range all the way from 250,000,000 to $1,000,000,000. All classes and all ages participated in the speculative riot which has ended to disastrously. At the height of the craze not only the marks themselves were dealt in but so-called “options” were bought and sold, and this by people without financial experlence and training and who could i1l afford the loss. The argument was thAt some day Germany was bound to recover its -time prosperity and again take her place among the world powers, and then there would be such rapid appreciation in the value of her mark currency as to make purchasers rich beyond their wildest dreams. It turned out the other way. There was no fallacy in the theory of eventual German recovery. The mistake was in assuming that such a recovery would include her paper currency. Money “made” by the printing-pre process depreciates in direet propor- tion to the quantity turned out. Turn your mind back upon this German mark episode and remember that every opportunity for speculative gain accompanied by the possibility of speculative loss. (Copyright, 1925.) FARMERS' LOANS GROW.
