NEW YORK, May 9.—A schedule of creditors’ assets and labilities filed to- day by attorneys of the bankrupt Fed- eral Food Stores indicated that pre- ferred creditors would receive 50 cents on the dollar. It was revealed that the secured creditors, including 10 banks, must share a loss of at least $1,310,513, while the unsecured credi- tors have claims of $938,044 and as- sets of $145,392. — BOND PRICES IMPROVE. Heavy Realizing Also Noted in Week End Market. NEW YORK, May 9 (A.P.).—Bond prices continued to make progress today despite the temporary restraint placed upon trading by realizing sales. Fluctuations were confined to ex tremely narrow limits, but a firm undertone prevailed and there were evidences of accumulation by strong banking interests in certain sections of the list. Buying activity in.the Japanese group was curtailed today, coincident with denials by bankers that negotiations had been opened for a $25,000,000 City of Tokio loan. Both the Japanese government 6s and the Tokio 5s declined fractionally after selling at the year’s highest levels. The recent brisk advance in'many rail- road liens invited profit taking today. Among the issues which lost ground were Chicago and Alton 33s, Chicago and Terre Haute income 5s, Florida, Western and Northern 7s, Seaboard adjustment 5s, Frisco income 6s, and St. Louis Southwestern 4s, most of which had been in the forefront of the week’s advance. Realizing also ex- tended to the public utilities list, caus- ing a_two-point recession in Standard Gas 61s. Buying power was not wholly lack- ing, however, and was effective in using substantial improvement in Rock_Island refunding 4s, Wheeling and Lake Erie refunding 4ls, New York Railways 4s, Western Union 6s. Pierce Arrow 8s and Fisk Rubber 8s. COFFEE PRICES TUMBLE. Heavy Accumulations in Brazil Cause Weakness Here. NEW YORK, May 9.—So much cof- fee is being pressed for sale in Brazil because of the large quantities ac: cumulated there as a result of the more extensive use of the lower prices on the milder grades in the American market that coffee prices broke an- other half a cent in the local market today. July futures closed at 14.20 cents a pound and September futures at 13.05 cents, both within a few points of the year's lows. LARGE RESERVE PILED UP. NEW YORK, May 9.—Wall street statisticlans are giving attention to the large reserves being piled up by the Allied Chemical and Dye Corpora- tion, which stood at about $104,000.- 600 at the end of 1924, or approxi- mately $50 a share on the common stock. This was more than $8,000,000 in excess of the year before and an increase of $25,000,000 in four years. RATES ON BEZ. SILVER. EW YORK, May exican dollars 9.—Bar silver, 52%.

Native and nearby early vegetables are rapidly forcing Southern varieties off the market, and a good demand prevails for practically all lines. Native asparagus is selling 4.00a5.00 a dozen and 2.00a3.00 for No. 2 stock, while Virginia grass bring 3.60a4.80, and 2.00a2.75 for No. 26. Green and pearl beans sell mostly 1.25a2.50 a-bushel. Rappahannock peas made their first appearance on the local and cleaned up fairly well at 7.50 a barrel, a record price for this time of the year. Other vegetables continue fairly active at the following quotations: Kale, 40a50 a bushel; lettuce, 1.50a .00 a_bushel: Spring onions, 1.50a 200 hundred; red radishes. 1.50a '50 hundred and white, 3.00a3.50; hundred, and spinach, 5 a bushel.

The live poultry market rules easier with prices generally in buy- ers’ favor and values a shade lower. Spring chickens 1% pounds and over meet with ready sale at 55458 a pound and' smaller, 50a54. Most of the raivals are small and not de- sirable; shipment of this class of Springers only tends to depreciate the value of the better stock, hence all stock should be fattened before being shipped. Large Leghorns, Springers, sell 45u48 and small, 40a44. Young Winter chickens 21, pounds - and under sell 49a45. Demand for old hens has eased off and is centered on large fat stock at 27a30, and small and poor hensand Leghorns will not bring over 24a25. Old roosters are fairly active at 17a18. Season for old ducks is nearly over | and it takes gtock weighing 4 pounds and over to bring' top prices of 22a25. as majority of arrivals are small and poor and have to be sold at 18a20.
