WAGNER URGES NEV FARN RELIEF LAN Senator Would Create Powerlal Goverament Gorporation Washington, May 2 (P—Substitu- tion of a single powerful government operated corporation for the com. modity stabilisation agencies pro- vided for in the farm reliet bill was proposed today by Senator Wagner, democrat, New York, as a means of controlling surplus crops. Describing the bill in its present form as a “mockery” and a “dressed up scheme” to satisfy campaign slogans, he claimed an interest in farm legisiation as a representative of a state which produces crops valued at $260,000,000 a year and is the largest consuming and taxpay- ing commonwealth in the country. It stabilization is the intention of the administration, he argued, it should be frankly faced with a di- rect plan of execution and not through complex machinery -nd red tape. He contended the debenture plan ‘was not workable and that the Nor- ris amendment providing for reduc- tion of ‘rates whenever overproduc- tion is threatened in an affected crop did not improve it. Asserting that many farm leaders themselves admit that the farmers ‘will not join cooperatives, he declar- ed the whole farm relief plan em- bodied in the pending bill is bound to fail because it intends to set up stabilization corporations upon the cooperative structure.

(TRADING GENTERING l]N THO NEW BONDS Chemical aud Telephone Issues Are Pivots of Trading New York, May 2 (#—Two recent additions 1o the semi-speculative convertible group—American 1. G. Chemical¢ 6 1-2's and American Telephone 4 1-2's—were the pivots of the trading in the bond market today. Subject to heavy trading since {they were admitted to dealings last Friday, the Chemical's forward move continued at an accelerating pace and in the early trading they shot past 110 for a rise of 8 points and 15 above the subscription price. | This rapid rise, however, tempted profit-taking and a drop of four or five points followed. By noon more than $700,000 par value of the de- bentures had been traded. The Telephone convertibles, while less spectacular than the Chemicals, also moved along rapidly but failed to hold early gains when the stock turned downward. Outside the convertible groyp, trading continued extremely ull and investment list generally, in- cluding ralls, inclined toward ir- regularity. United 8tates govern- ment obligations, showing the im- provement in the money market, were steady. The foreign loans, including the German issues which have been soft recently as result of doubt over the outcome of the reparations confer- ence, were steady and quiet. The Pirelll of Italy 7's, a convertible, dipped more than 4 points follow- ing their recent bulge. SCHULTE STORES PASS QUARTERLY DIYIDEND . Cut-Rate Sales of Smokes in Ch Stores Force Abandonment of Payment. New York, May 2 (®—Directors of Schulte Retail Stores Corporation have voted to pass the dividend on the common stock which has been at the rate of 871 cents in cash and 1 of one per cent in stock quarterly. D. A. 8chulte, president, said the action was taken to provide for ex- pansion of the business along new and broader lines, necessitated by economic conditions in the retail to- bacco field. “These economic conditions,” he added, “have been produced by the cut-rate prices at which cigars and cigarettes are sold by chain drug, grocery, department and other stores where theif sale is merely incidental to other merchandise, and they are sold at little or no profit.” To meet this competition, Mr. Schulte announced additional lines of merchandise would be established in all of the compan; new stores.

Bliven of 84 Garden street, Hartford, who was fined $109 and costs with a suspended jail sen- tence of 15 days in police court to- day, was taken to jail without funds and will undergo treatment at the hospital there for cuts on his arm, sustained in the collision between a sedan and a teolley car, which re- sulted in his arrest yesterday noon.

Reports from the leading basic in- dustries indicated that production was being maintained at a. high rate ‘with no signs of a general recession, despite fears that high money rates would have a retarding influence. Call money = renewed at 10 per cent, as against 11 yesterday, and held steady at that rate throughout the morning, and early afternoon. rates are looked for next week. The recent increase in public par- ticipation, as reflected in the ex- panding volume of commission house business and odd lot buying, has stimulated pool activities. These have centered largely in issues in which special developments are re- ported to be pending, particularly in the public utility, merchandising, motor acceasory, farm implement and amusement groups. 8Sharp recessions took place in the United Aircraft and Advance Rume- ly issues in early trading. The re- cent spectacular advances in these | stocks have been attributed to a driving in of the short interest, and have led to suggestions of possibie “technical corner: A few high priced specialties such as Union Carbide and Commercial solvents also broke but they had only a tem- porary ungetmn‘ effect on the gen- eral list, Radio returned to its old position as a market leader by climbing more than five points to a new high rec- ord for the present issue ahove $112 a share, one block of 18,000 shares |/ changing hands at 112.

May 2 UM—The house of; lords, after brief discussion, todsy ' approved a motion introduced by lord Birkenhead approving the principle of the famous Balfour note '~ on Britain's war debts. Lord Birkenhead said: “I make no attempt at criticism or complaint that the American nation whone intcrnational charities, pri- vately exercised, have been upen a - scale which the world previously has - never known and whose humanity and sentiments no one has ever been foolish enough to impeach, did net - in this matter take the view which inspired the Balfour memorandum. “It is very important in speaking .. of matters s0 delicate, that 1 should make it plain that no English public - man of any consequence with whem _ 1 have been acquainted ever thought - that there was the least justification : for complaining that the American nation did not take this view. Had they taken it, it would in my judg- ment have most suitably comciuded a great and perilous comradeshtp in arma. “We could not tell at the mement when the memorandum was issued what their views would be. May T — make it plain that there is net, nor o.. hzs not been any complaint of the - decision they took. They were mas- = ters of their own financial precisely as we were. “Let it go round the werld that we in Britain at the to us on the basis of cellation.” g
