WILL NOT SELL WHEAT BELOW COST Head of Government Grain Corporation Says Situation Docs Not Warrant Action New York, Jan. 30 - Julius Harney. president of tlin fulled States food l administration grain corporation, who has Just relumed from I'urcjio where, jwllli Herbert Hoover, he made a survey of the food rltuatlop, Issued u statement Lvcsterday assuring the flour trade of the country It nrcil not fear that thn cor- poratlon will resell any of the wheal It holds at leu than the price originally paid to the growers. At the same time. In a letter sent to thn New lork I'lnur I'lub, which re cently adopted resolutions asking for Immediate- nssuranen that It will re c ln the same protection on the (lour i may now hold .is Ih now guaranteed t. Ihe fanner, the miller and tin wheat handler ngalnM .t possible decline In Hie price of wheat, Mr. Harnes expressed the opinion that for the present at least the gfiior.il situation would seem to Justlf.v i American wheat prices. In support of 'tlili ho said that 'there t n stt.id flow of purchases from America, of I wheat and wheat flour by buvrrs per fectly free to send their ships to other I sources of Mipplv, should those other 'sources offer superior attractions for a !buer over the American prices, plus the short ocean voyage saving from I Amer ea " I "There seems to be apprehension on Ihe nart of bakers. Hour deilers and millers." Mr. llames stated, "that the Crjln Corporation may at anv time de-1 clrie to resel the wheat tauen irnm tho grower under the guaranteed In. Ii of the different markets namely, J'- 26 Chlr.iBO, and re-rll this wheat nt a lower prfce level thus resulting In a decline In flour prices. "The bssls on which this feeling ex- I Ists seems to be all Impression that the world price level or wheat as at pre.-rm ruling Is below the guaranteed price basis now made effective In America. "Hrn.idlv spcaklne, this ii not true. World liiljcrs privileged to seek tbe cheapest i-oiirccs of supply aro still coming to America for current purchases of wheat Htid vvhent flour, because, ocean transportation considered with other conditions, tho Aimrlean price level Is still more attractive to them than the markets of Argentina and Australia. "I'ontrary also to the general Imprest-ion, a. careful survey of the piobable demand which will fall on Anieilca for the balance of this crop year from Allied countries, Iroin luntr.ils, from newly liberated proplcs and the possible lin peratlvn ncces.-li,v tor some fond pro Monlng of Hormany In Ihe Interest of maintaining a stable government for our own protection, will tot it I such dem mds on mrrlci as will probably ixluusl all of the 1 J I i erop surplus "It would be the height of foil to d'spn-c of the Anur'can surplus. under tbe-e conditions at a loss to the Na tional Tie.iniry. and the ntllcl.il agen clcs of the food administration making the wheal in Ices effective have in con I. inpl.U Ion no such action whatever."

ROSE FRANK C. SOMERS W. J. SEWELL. JR. J. LYNN TRUSCOTT J GOSSIP OF LOWER STEEL DIVIDEND DOES NOT DISAPPOINT LOCAL FINANCIERS Banker Calls Attention to Importance of Largo Amount Named in Statement as Reserved for Taxation Purpo&cs Gossip of the Street TXTJIIl.t: the United Slates Steel Corporation dividend action continued yesterday to be tho absorbing topic of discussion In Ihe flminrl.it district, there wore no signs of general disappointment with the announce ment of ii cut In Ihp rate of the extra disbursement. This ni no doubt due to the fact that so ninny bad expected It. A customer In era- of tho hoard rooms remarked, In connection with thn subject, that II was pilTi'.lltig to the ordinary layman to find Mr. Schwab sending such n pessimistic statement frnm llurope and the rirttilclirm Sleet Increasing Its dividends a few ttajt later; then to read Judgo l.arj's exceedingly optimistic statement soon afterward, and find It followed by a cut In the United Slates Steel dividend. A banker catted nltention to a very Important Item In the United States Slecl Coi partition's statement, which, ho said, should bo a matter of consolation to such shareholders as r peeled n larger dividend. It wai tho Item of $:;4.2SR,:79 reserved for taxation purposes. Tills, ho re marked, was Jt0.00n.no0 more thin was paid fur the jear of 1017; but, ho continued, this does not offset the steady month -by-month reduction In net earning, which ended In the low icconl for the rar of f 0,8nt,SL'2 In December, Another hanker, speaking about tho steel dividend, Mild ho did not sec what alternative was ef for the director of the corpora tion, an iifler ptovlding for preferred dividends for the quarter It had re maining fit. 100,000. Hv declaring J', regular mid 1 per cent extra Jll.lOii.flOO of this amount was absorbed, and it would have required T15,im.000 to dcclure 2 per cent extra In addition to the regular l' per cent. lift 1 1 hers Discuss Criticisms of li. Ii. Administration A number of bankers were dlsciis.slng railroad matters in general and tho government control In particular, when mm remarked that thero was a good deal of condemnation of tbe railroad administration which was stated In the abstract, and lie would llko to have at least ono con crete example of what inuM be termed unfair treatment of a railroad. Ono of tho pirty called attention to the ense of the Toledo. St. Louis and Western Itallro.id, now and for some 5 ears past In the hands of ii re ceiver, lie said tills receiver could not pay the interest due on tho Mist mortgage bonds bemuse- the railroad administration was holding up tho rental due the tntnp.iny by the government. The reason, bo said, for doing so, be was told, was because the receiver had refused to accept a lot of unnecessary equipment ordered at war prices and which the. rallip.ul admlnlstiatlon wanted to unload on the railroad at a price which the road could not afford to pay. lie said lie believed that eventually thn whole matter would be adjusted satisfactorily, but lie did not con sider It fair that the rental should be held up under the circumstances. In view of the above, the following dispatch from Washington Is illuminating: "A somewhat dllfercnt policy in regaid to construction expendltuics will probably be followed bv tho railroad administration this e.ir from that wliii h prevailed in 1HIS. As :i general rule improvements will not be made unless the corporation owning property affected consents or work Is a vital necessity to public service. Under their contracts and federal control act companies may set up claims against the government whole the have, been charged with construction they do not regard as of cinimetcl.il value In them ttl normal business of roads. "Tlu lallrnad administration will endeavor to leave as little room as possible for smb. ilalm.s and will, therefore, avoid making improvements i except with tlio approval of the owning inmpnnv. Protests of railroad companies against allocation to them of equipment ordered by t lie rail mad administration last spring it Is virtually certain will avail them nothing." Big War Savings Stamps Out Soon War savings stamps In flOO denominations are to be issued soon and will be available to the public oil the same relative terms ns tho ?T stamps. The new stamps, which are already on the press, will cost TSij.liO If bought during rebrunry, the pi Ice Increasing twenty cents each month until the end of the je.ir. They will be about the sie of the .finu bonds of the fourth Liberty Loan. The ruling that no person i,m hold more than Sluou of war savings stumps of any tingle issue Is still In forte . Following Its llnaiiclal icvlcw for the fourth quarter of i;ns, the Franklin National Hunk Is out with 11 digest of trade londltlnus cover ing the whole country for the closing nnititha of 101 V I'olli publica tions, which aro compiled from government rcpoits. give a concise and compact lev lew nt business and llnanclal conditions as they are, and embrace information 011 both .subjects from every possible angle in nn easily digestible form. A most unusual stoiy was going the rounds of the financial distrkt vcstcrdu.v, It was to the effect that It icipjired a special meeting of tho board of governors of the New York .Stool; Kxrhimgo xestcnlay morning to determine at what figure t'nited States .Steel common opened the: market. There was such a crowd around Iho steel po.sl at tho start that tales were being made on one side of the post at one price, while the same was going on at the other side at a different llgure. The stor doubtless originated from tho wire stating that the price coinmlllec was unable for ten minutes to decide what was, a fair opening iccord. The Cuaranty Trust Compati.v uf New Votk has established a scivue. under the diiectlon of .I0I111 (!. Herndon, Jr., for tho assistance of their customers and others In the preparation of their income and excess prollts tax returns as required by the new revenue act, Invitation Is extended to avail themselves of Mr, Ilerndon's services, which arc ien dered without barge, at tho olllee of the Philadelphia coi respondent of the eoinpan.v, till Chestnut street. Municipal Bond Market Is Small Theie have been very few Issues uf muuUlpal bonds tcccntlv. ami whllo the market Is almost bare of them thcte has been comparatively little call for them. It was stated j.cstcrday that some of the members of the New York ilty controller's department had been sounding out bond houses as to the advlsabillt. of that city putting out from J15.00O.tioO to K'S.OOO.OOO of six- months treasury bills. According to reports, little encouragement was given the city authori ties, as the market for municipal Issues has not presented many brilliant possibilities of late. Tho assertion was mado b.v one that such an Issue could probiibl be nut out on a basis of approximately li-t per cent, and It was pointed out that New Fngland municipal Issues aiu now selling oil .1 basis slightly in eces.s of I per cent. There was u feeling that if New Vol I, should undertake to put out shoit-tcrm obligations ut this time It would not do so in one amount, but would probably offer $.'.,000,000 or so at a time until Its full require ments havo been realised. A group of New York bankers Is offering SaOO.noo clt.v of I'.ochcstcr, N. Y icglstered IVs rvcf cent public improvement bonds for subscrip. Hon, although no prlco Is mentioned in the public announcement. They are exempt from Federal Inconio ta and from all taxation In tho Slate, of New York. They aro dated August I, lilts, and nmtuio sctiallj from August 1, I9U5, to ISIS. Opinions Few on Sale, of Victory Loan Thcte Is not as much interest shown in local financial circles in the coming Victory Loan as would bo expected over such an Important event. Thero Is a disposition to refrain from expressing any opinion on tho suh. Jrct, although n well-known banker, when asked what was tho general opinion among his. associates, said that ut luncheon a few clavs ago lie heard a number of lluauclcrs discuss tho subject among themselves, and that no two of them held the same Idea iih to what the temis or the loan should be or what would be the best manner of placing It. He M,d that, after listening to them for somo time, he did not wonder that tho mailer was so difficult for the Treasury Department to determine. Tho Impression left, after asking the opinions of several bunkcra and brokers on tho subject within tho last few days, was, "Let tienrgo do It," In other words, let tho Treasury Department attend to It. The fact that the Trcasiiiy Department may bo trying to Unci the pulso of the country through tho opinions of leading ilnanclcts didn't seem tu carry tho weight ono would expect. There Is, howovor, a decided change In sentiment over the question of an appeal to the American public vvlicu the Unto comes on the patriotic basis, as mentioned b.v John II. .Mason, president of the Commercial Trust Company. Many of thoso who wero in favor of leaving out Iho patriotic appeal in tho next campaign and conducting It on a ptncly business basis luuo come to think, from past experiences in many wujh, that sentiment is a, much 11101 0 powerful foreo than nicro materialism. Thoy say tho war Itself was fought and won by Amcrtea on Just such principles, und thoy will alwaya b dominant.
