—June 28 —
The bank statement of Saturday was
the excuse for some professional selling
early, and the announcement of renewal
of the rate was followed by a little com
mission selling.
The market looked easy, but the de
clines were not serious on the average
and what liquidation occurred was insig
nificant. as is clearly indicated by the
total volume of the day's business.
The bank statement offers but little
encouragement, nevertheless there is some
indication that we are passing through
the period of lowest reserves.
On March 26. following payment of be
first installment of taxes, the New York
Federal Reserve bank's reserve ratio was
one point below that of Saturday.

SILVER DECLINE
HELPS BRITAIN
Price Drop Does Away With
Bullion Profiteering.
The present sharp decline In the price
of silver may solve a coinage problem
for Great Britain says the Bankers
Trust Company of New York.
One of the monetary difficulties was
to prevent the melting of silver coins
and their sale as bullion, which operation
has been profitable recently, because of
the abnormally high price of ailver.
The drop la the price of the metal
has already eliminated that form of
“profiteering" by making it no longer
a paying operation.
The fall in silver may a!*y dispose
of another difficulty, namely, preventing
a los* to the government in the minting
of silver money, for recent high prices
meant that the government had to pay
more for sliver than the value it repre
sented when coined Into money.
SERIOUS SITUATION
PRESENTED. . ,
The situation was considered so seri
ous by the British treasury that parlia
ment was asked to take step# to remedy
it. A bill was introduced to permit the
Issuance of new coinage containing less
silver and more alloy than the present
silver money. The plan proposed by the
britlsh treasury wonld, if parliament ap
proves, reduce the composition of silver
coins to one-half pure Bllver the balance
to be alloy.
In support of the new coinage hill
spokesmen for the treasury have argued
that while (here would be a less amount
of silver contained, the reduction would
not mean actual debasement of the coln
a,>Tbe proposed new coins, they contend
ed would be equal in intrinsic value to
the pre-war value of the present coinage
so long as silver remained at 46 pence
an ounce or over.
On the other hand silver would have
to reach 122 pence an ounce before there
would be a profit realized from melting
the half silver and half alloy money
for sale as bullion.
PARLIAMENT
HAS CONTROL.
There can be no change mane in the
standard of British coinage today unless
parliament sanctions it. But in nnelent
timet the reigning monarch* used their
own discretion and made debasement of
the coinage a source of private profit.
Part of the precloufc metal saved by re
ducing the standard went to fill their de
pleted purses.

Commenting upon the outlook for the

the immediate future promises to be the
best period in years. "Foreign orders,”
lie said, "if thev could be financed, would
be sufficient to keep all equipment plants

SEPTEMBER OATS
UP TO NEW HIGH
December Corn Also Effects
Sharp Upturn.
CHICAGO, June 28—Doleful crop
forecasts sent September oats to anew
high mark on the crop and advanced
December corn 6% cents on the Board
of Trade today.
Estimates of 440 cars of corn caused
a dip in the July price to below Satur
day’s close, but the early spot market
was so firm that the future sold, up to
$1.78, easing to around the previous close
when the cash market weakened, but ral
lying at the close.
Present weather is ideal for the grow
ing crop, but reports say that unless
southeastern Nebraska gets relief from
the heat within a week, the crop will
begin to fire.
The buying side was encouraged when
the forecast for the next thirty-six hours
indicated continuance of the hot wave.
Se'llng against offers checked the ad
vance in September, but failed to stop
December.
Considerable broadening was noted In
the trade, the bulk of business being
small lots. Profit taking was in evi
dence in the bulges, but good buying
orders appeared on the reactions.
Oats displayed Independent strength
from the outset on the crop forecast
from Illinois and lowa, which induced
scattered buying and met little selling
pressure.

- —June 28—
Acting on the belief that this week will
see the culmination of the movement of
corn, also because of the comparatively
small premiums for cash corn, shippers
today were supplying their future needs.
This condition was transmitted to the
deferred deliveries, sentiment also being
helped by high temperatures west and
southwest.
It Is true that temperatures are high,
but there Is thought to be ample mois
ture everywhere, except in a limited area
in the extreme southwest.
Weather conditions are now the gov
erning factor, as trade has In mind the
period of drought and heat a year ago.
New shipping demand does not im
prove. With weather controlling factor
market action will be uncertain and er
ratic.
Drought and heat were the immediate
motives in oats. A goodly portion of
the crop Is now at the filling period,
where ample moisture and moderate tem
peratures are desirable.
Existing weather conditions are but
an added motive in the market. Cash
prices were Inclined to easiness, and the
i new shipping demand is comparatively
| slow,

The court was expected to pronounce

The indictment was returned follow
ing an investigation, the result of
charges of postal Inspectors who claimed
they saw Larr take four $1 bills from a
letter in process of delivery through the
Terre Haute postoffice on March 24.
The bills, which were marked, It was
said, were later found on Larr’s person.
ADIMTS BILLS
FOUND ON HIM.
On the witness stand Larr admitted
the bills were found in bis possession
after he had been recalled to the postofllce
on the afternoon of March 24, but said
they had been taken by him from a
drawer where he kept postage due stamp
money.
He said every clerk in the office had ac
cess to that drawer.
John J. Cleary, postmaster at Terre
Haute, said on the witness stand that
during the last eighteen months Larr
had been In the employe of the post
office a loss of approximately $2,000
resulted from thefts from the mails and
that since his dismissal only two losses
involving $lO have been reported.
Larr declared he and Postmaster
Cleary had some differences and that
Cleary had asked him to resign.
Cleary denied there had been differ
ences and that he had ever asked Larr to
resign.
WRITE AND FOLLOW
DECOY LETTER.
Three postoffice inspectors, W. R.
Briggs, H. H. Wasson and F. L. Pierce,
testified they had prepared the special
delivery letter and had traced it from
Cincinnati, where it was written, to the
time it was placed on the special de
livery distributing table in the Terre
Haute postoffice.
Each bill had been marked with a dot
of red ink on the scarf of the portrait of
Washington, engraved on the bills.
W. R. Briggs, one of the Inspectors,
said he saw the special delivery letter
after It had been placed on the dis
tributing- table and that he saw Larr
place the letter face down in a pile of
letters other than special delivery, but
that he did not see Larr take the letter.
HAD COLD, V
AFRAID TO COUGH.
He said he had a bad cold and had to
cough and that be left In order that
Larr’s attention might not be attracted.
Frank L. Pierce, another inspector,
who was with Briggs, said he stayed
after Briggs left and that he saw Larr
place the letter in the top of his trousers
under his belt.
He said Larr felt the letter and evi
dently knew there was money In It.
‘ He then placed It with a pile of long
letters,” Pierce said, "and when the op
portunity came, he slipped the letter
under his belt.”
He said Larr made three attempts be
fore he finally got away with the letter.
Each of these three attempts were frus
trated when he was Interrupted by mall
carriers and clerks, Pierce said.
"No other clerk handled or bothered
that letter, which had been traced care
fully from Cincinnati,” said Pierce, ‘‘and
the letter was never seen again from
the time It got Into the hands of Larr.”
11. H. Wasson, the postal inspector
who examined Larr in the office of the
postmaster and found the three marked
bills on Larr, said Larr when first asked
for all his money gave them a pocket
book.
BILLS AMONG
CHANGE.
“Later," he said, “$6 and some change
was found in Larr’s pockets and the
three marked bills among them."
“He then told us he had gotten the
bills from Joseph Burr, stamp clerk.

habit of exchanging small change for bills
and placing them in the drawer, although
the remainder of the clerks had access
to the drawer.
Burr said he had reported many losses
to the postmaster and the assistant post
