The street is reminded con- stantly of the fact that W. C.

WOOL PRICES STEADY, BOSTON, May 26 (Speclal).—Senti- ment continues constructive in the wool market here, but prices are practically nominal owing to the slackness of trading. Much of what buying is going on by mills and deal- ers is regarded as somewhat specula- tive in response to the attraction of Jow prices.

HUGHES. Specinl Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, May 26.—While trad- ing in the general list went on quietly today, there was animated buying in selected issues, low-priced rails, cer- tain industrials and certain foreign obligations, principally South Amer- fcan. 4 Bolivia 8s made a new high record for the past two years, selling up to 99, compared with 943, Monday's close. Montevideo 7s made/ a new top for this year. There wgs no spe- cial news_ affecting either of these bonds. It was simply a case where the advance elsewhere had made these high yields seem out of line. On the other hand, Argentine 6s reacted from their high of the day before on the announcement that 4 new Argentine loan of $45,000,000 is about to be of- fered. KEuropean bonds were little changed. Raiiroad Liens Mixed. In the domestic railway list Mis- souri Pacific general 4s responded, to the good showing of the April e ings statement with a new high for the year. St:Louis and San Francisco bonds were steady, but Chicago Great Western 4s reacted. Paper bonds were in demand, especially Union Bag and Paper 6s and International Paper 5s, the movement being connected in both cases with the strength in paper stocks. There was some discussion of the possibility of Union Bag and Paper 63 being called at 105, because of the lien the bonds have on the majority of the stock of the St. Maurice Paper Co. Rubber Fives Strong. United States Rubber 5s were strong and Virginia-Carolina Chemical 7s held the ground recently gained. Chicago Railway 6s were the weak members of the traction group and Third Avenue adjustments the strong spot. Today's new offerings included $5,000,000 Price Brothers & Co. first 6s to yield 5.90 per cent. NORTHWESTERN VOTES - | CHICAGO. May 26 (#®).=Directors of the Chicago and Northwestern Railway Co. today declared the regu- lar semi-annual dividends of 2 per cent on the common stock and per cent on the preferred stock, able June 30 to stock of recorg June 5. There had been reports cufrent recently that the dividend on the com- mon might be passed, but officials of pa of them. o e e i R WALL STREET NOTES. NEW YORK, May 26 (Speciall.— Paul M.

NEW YORK, May 26.—Coinci- dent with the reconvening of the French Parliament for a session which will be devoted largely to financial matters, the French franc has dropped back to near the vear's lowest level of 5.03% cents, Which was established early in March. The reaction in some quarters \has been considerad natural in' view of the probable necessity of increasing taxes to balance the French budget and of devising measures to fund war debts. PRICES GO HIGHER N GRAIN MARKET Permanent Frost Damage to Wheat Feared—Corn and Oats Quiet. By the Associated Press CHICAGO, May 26.—Although sell- ing to realize profits brought about early declines in price today for wheat, and for other grain as well, the wheat market later scored an ad- vance. General desire to take profits acted at first as more than a counter- balance for higher quotations on wheat at Liverpool. However, wheat here rallied sharply after reports were received that considerable permanent | damage to the Spring wheat crop in the Northwest had been done by the recent freeze up, and that very heavy losses are fmminent unless Northwest rains come soon. Chicago opening prices on wheat, varying from 1% decline to 1 advance, May, 1.72% and July, 1.61 to 1.62, were foilowed by a series of downturns and reactions, with the market going as low as 1.69% for May and 1.60 for July, but then rising to 1.72% May, and 1.63% July. Further frost expected tonight made corn and oats relatively stable as compared with wheat. After open- ing unchanged to 1% lower, July, 1.18% to 1.19%, the corn market un- derwent a moderate general sag and | then recovered about all the decline. | Oats_started unchanged to 1 off, July, 4% to 47% and then eased a little more, but later held near to yester- day’s finish. Provisions were easy, influenced by the actton of hog values. WHEAT— May ... .1 July . e % Za s July 5 September | . OATS— May sas 13 Eed 555 %55 S 55 35 e September R May Sao CHICAGO— LIVESWMARXET.

BY CHAS. P. SHAEFFER. ' Directors of the North America Co. have declared the regular quarie:+ 1y dividend of 214 per cent in common stock on the common outstanding and 75 cents a share on the preferred, both payable July 1 to stock of record June 5. In announcing their action, direc tors called attention to a change in policy of payments on the common issue, resulting in an increased pav- ment to holders who elect to accept cash in lieu of stock. The custom of declaring the com- mon dividends at the rate of 23 per cent quarterly, payable at the rate of 1-40 share of common or in cash is maintained, but provision {s made to distribute cash at the rate of the market value on the date of pay ment instead of the fixed rate of §5 cents a share. At the current price for the common, those who elect to take cash instead of stock would re- ceive about $1.25 a share. The dis tribution will be made, however, at the market value of the dividend stock on July 1, when the dividend i3 payabl.e North American securities are wide- 1y held in this vicinity due mainly to their local aspect created by tha company’'s rather extensive holdinzs in local transportation systems. Bcouts Speculative Excesses. “Speculative excess in husiness is extremely unlikely,” according to Ray Vance, president of the Brookmire Economic Service, in a message toda to The Star. “Our consulting staff,” writes Vance, “has for the last two we been busy replying to those who con tend we are on the verge of business inflation, with commodity prices ex ceeding the 1920 top. The most out standing reason for this belief seen to be the present ease of money, but this will be taken up by the reasor able resumption of business activitr, which we are looking for. Our eral conclusion is that there wi some stiffening of money rates business will improve and th: great speculative inflation with money rates at present or lower levels is t be expected.” W. B. and A. “Bid" Price Up. Mergenthaler Linotype sold points today on the local board of 43 shares being recorded at 177%. Other securities were firm recent levels. Stock of the Washington Gas Light Co. was stronger at 57, with sales of 100 shares, while Railway preferred eased off slightly from its opening, b continued firm at $3 and fractions above. Capital Traction sold at 95' and preferred stock of the Nation: Mortgage and Investment Co. sold upward to 93 on sales of 300 shares Five per cent bonds of the Wasi ington, Baltimore and Annapolis Co registered an increase of 8 poiuts their “bid” price to 65, with none offered. This movement was con strued in local circles as one purely to partly bridge the breach between the Washington and Baltimore mai kets, which represented an 11 point difference vesterday, with 57 bid here and 68 in Baltimore. The 7%-point advance in these bonds yesterday in Baltimore, their central market, was actuated by ardent though uncon firmed rumors of absorption I stronger concerns who sought a ter minal here and in Annapolis.
