eon, and decorations of the rooms

was uniquely arranged and was form
ed by miniature cherry tree laden
with cherries close by which was a

pany Bank, Portland. Ore.
The leading bond issues of the week
were $3O,0f V.000 Great TtrthemiRai.'l
wa company general mortgage per
cent bonds due in thirty years and $ 75,
000,000 Federal Land Bank 6 per cent
bonds due in twenty years and option
al In ten years. Both were offered by
strong syndicates having participa
tions in Portland, Seattle and Spokane.
The Great Northern bonds were offer
ed by J. P. Morgan & Company and
the First National Bank of Kew York
at 96.56, to yield 5 per cent.
The bonds were sold within- five
minutes after the subscription books
were opened, and many of them were
taken in the Pacific Northwest. The
bonds are secured by a general mort
gage on 7675 miles of road, constitut
ing 98 per cent of the total
mileage of the Greoat North
ern system. The Great Northern
jointly with the .Northern Pacific
owns the North Bank railroad extend
ing from Spokane to Astoria, with the
Oregon Trunk a branch to Bend, Ore
gon, and- runs its trains from Seattle
to Portland over the Northern Pacific
tracks. . The Great Northern's interest
in the Burlington system is profitable,
and during the last ten years the sys
tem's income available for charges
averaged about 2 times the amount
required.
The Federal Land Bank bonds were
offered by a ' syndicate comprising
about a dozen leading underwriting
houses. The offering price was 102,
yielding 4.70 per cent to the optional
date and 5 per cent thereafter. The
bonds offered included emissions of
all the twelve Federal Land Banks in
the various federal reserve districts.
Federal Land Banks bonds possess
many of the attractions of government
bonds and are sold as instrumentali
ties of the federal government. They
are fully exempt from all federal, state
and other taxes.
The Department of the Seine
(France) bonds offered two weeks ago
have been about all cleaned up.
Much interest is manifest in a forth
coming issue of $40,000,000 bonds of
the government of The Netherlands.
The terms have not been announced,
but the bonds probably will be sixes,
running twenty years or longer, at
some discount. The Dutch credit is
very high and its bonds wiH sell more
readily in the United States than

Another foreign issue that has been
discussed and will probably be offer
ed soon is that of the Peruvian govern
ment. Terms are not yet available, but
the yield will be about 8 per cent.
The Dominion of Canada is trying
to decide whether to fiance its matur
ing obligations in the United States or
at home. About $200,000,000 Canadian
internal war bonds will come due this
year and it is estimated that from $75,
000,000 to $100,000,000 of the bonds are
held by American investors. Bond
holders in the United States who made
their investment in Canadian securi
ties a year ago when the Canadian
dollar was worth about 85 cents in the
United States will reap a very fair
profit through the rise in Canadian ex
change, now about 95 cents. It is
likely that the Dominion government
will decide to borrow- in the United
States as this can be accomplished
now under very favorable terms, ow
ing to the rise of the Canadian dollar.
Numerous Canadian provincial and
municipal issues will be floated in the
United States during the year. The
city of New Westminister has given
an option on $614,000 of varying ma
turities held as collaternal to an Issue
of $500,000 5-year treasury notes sold
in 1918 to the Lumbermens Trust
Company of Portland and distributed
among local investors. If the option
is exercised, the notes will be retired
in advance of maturity at loo and in
terest in American funds, provided the
holders will surrender them, as tney
likelv will be willing to do. The under
lying bonds may be offered on a 6V4
per cent basis.
Will America Participates
Convening of the international eco
nomic conference at Genoa, itaiy, is
less than a month away. It has been
declared that this will be the most Im
portant international conference ever
held. Keenest interest is manifest
everywhere in President Harding's de
cision as to whether or not the United
States shall participate. Every na
tion in Europe except Turkey has been
invited, and invitations have been sent
to the United States and Japan and
the South American states; it is ex
pected that at least 45 nations will
participate. Assuming that the dele
gation and secretariat for each nation
will number 40, this means that the
personnel gathered in Genoa will com
prise close to 2000 persons.
At least two members of President
cabinet are opposed to
American narticipation. Some of the
obstacles that are cited, in order of
their relative importance, are: contin
uation of the dispute over German re
parations; insistence of Russia and
France upon maintaining excessive
land armaments at stagggering costs;
failure of European nations to bring
budgets within revenues; determina
tion of the United States not to be
Involved in political disputes in Europe-
the strong probability that de
velopments at Genoa may Impair the
force and effects of the achievements
of the-Washington conference.
Leon Trotzky Is quoted as having
said that the conference is equiva
lent to a revision of the Versailles
treaty. The purpose of the treaty was
to crush Germany and to isolate Rus
sia. "Now," said Trotzky, "Russia and
Germany are invited to Genoa to dis
cuss plans for changing reparations in
to reconstruction. Success or failure at
enoa depends principally upon the
United States. If America participates.
It will be a real world conference, and
without America It will be only a small
rahearsai for a world conference that
Tonce and , wJn iater.
The subjects to be discussed at
Genoa have been outlined definitely as
follows:
1. - Examination into means for put
ting into execution the principles con
tained in the Cannes resolution of Jan
uary 6,. 1922.
2. Establishment of European peace
upon a solid basis.
3. Conditions necessary to restor
ation of economic confidence without
endangering or altering existing
treaties.
4. Financial questions,, such as cur
rency, paper money, banks and bank
ing statements.
5. Economic and financial ques
tions Beaver Board Company Revives
Just before its financial difficulties
began in 1920, the Beaver Board Com
pany was arranging to establish a
factory in Portland, but It was obliged
to abandon this plan for the time be
ing. The Pacific Northwest will be in
terested in publication of plans for re-!
viving the company. This will be ac- j
complished by the issuance of $4,000,-
000 first mortgage twenty-year 8 per
cent sinking fund gold bonds. Liabili
ties have been deferred and banking
arrangements made so that the com
pany can proceed with its business
without embarrassment.
KrUpp Cannon Works Reformed
As one of the evidence of the refor
mation of Germany's warlike spirit is
cited the conversion Of the Krupp can
non works to the uses of peace. In the
past these factories have made noth
ing but cannon and war supplies In
war time and in peace have prepared
inthe cheerful Bernhardt manner. for
the next war. Present productions of
these works include locomotives, agri
cultural implements and textile ma
chinery. The company has purchased
two large coal mines as a part of its
equipment and is developing special
ties in steei and alloys heretofore un
know. We might feel more impressed
if we did not recollect how simple it
is to transform industrial plants to
munition works in war time.
Russia's Bank in Operation
The newly created Russian State
Bank has published its first statement.
Of the original capital of 2,000,000.-
000,000 rubles paid in by the S6viet j
givernment, 1,863,000,000,000 are still
in the treasury. Gold and silver are
set down at 873,000,000 rubles, and
foreign bank notes at 476,000.000
rubles. The foreign exchange depart
ment has a credit of 276,000,000
rubles. Agencies of the bank have as
sets to the amount of 217,000,000,000
rubles, and the bank has advanced to
"the Commissioner of iFnances 217,00,-
000,000 rubles. The state bank now
has 80 agencies throughout Russia.
How much the 476,000,000 rubles ot
gold and silver amount to in real
money is not stated, but since a de
cent tip to a waiter is 50,000 rubles.
its value can be guessed.
Financial Science in Application
Nicaragua furnishes an interesting
lesson in the benefits to be derived
from the aplication of scientific fin
ancial management to its national
have shown improvement since the
agreement entered, into in 191
with the government of the
United States. In consequence of that
agreement, and sinking fund charges
on the country's bonds which bad
been defaulted in 1910. The govern
ment was greatly embarrassed by its
heavy floating debt which obstructed
reestabilshment of the country's cred
it. To correct this condition, what is
known as the "Financial Plan of 1917"
was evolved. This introduced th6
budget system, with a maximum limit
of government expenditures, and pro
vided settlement of the floating debt
by part payment in cash and refund
ing of the balance oy tne issuance ot
bonds. The national debt was reduc
ed from 2,084,000 cordobas to 9,876,
000 corobas on January 1, 1921, and a
further reduction to 8,200,000 cordo
bas on January 1 1922. The cordoba
is equal at par to $1. Nicaragua has
an area of 49.600 square miles, about
half that of the stae of Oregon, and a
nnrmlation (1920) of 638,000. The
ner capita debt is about $14. The gen
eral revenue in 1920 was 3,153,000
cordobas and the budget expenditures
1,588,000 cordobas. It is possible that
a refunding bond issue of Nicaragua
will be offered in the united btaies
soon.
Soldiers' Bonuses Growing
The national government's gifts to
the soldiers and sailors who served in
war may amount to any sum from $1,
500,000,000 to $3,000,000,000. Many of
the states have voted soldiers' bonuses
and to date bonds amounting to $149,
000,000 have been issued by 12 states.
To this figure should be added $103,
000,000 of bonus bonds voted but not
sold. In still other states provision
have been made for submitting to the
voters bonus proposals amounting to
