MONEY TO LOAN ON FARM AND CITY PROPERTY Philip Hammond, Lawyer Beaver Building OREGON CITY, OREGON SECURITIES Placed Upon Market At Prices Above Par BEING EASILY Sold; Commercial Paper Now Readily LIQUIDATED By Robert E. Smith- President Lumbermen Trust Com pany Bank, Portland, Ore. The strong- position of Canadian credit in the United States was shown again this week by offering of $100,- 000. 000 5 per cent gold bonds of the Dominion Government. The subscrip tion books were opened Tuesday morn ing at the office of J. P. Morgan & Company, syndicate managers, in New York, and were closed at noon with a heavy oversubscription. The bonds will be due May 1, 1952, and will be redeemable as a whole at the option of the government of the Dominion of Canada on and after May 1, 1942. Both principal and interest are payable in, gold at the agency of the' Bank of Montreal in New York City. It is estimated that more than $500,000 of the bonds were taken by banks and Investment dealers in Port land. Canada borrows at a lower rate of interest than the United States or any foreign government. Canada is the best customer of the United States for our exports. The identity of lan guage, customs and ideals gives the two countries a common understand ing such as is enjoyed, perhaps, by no other two great nations of the world. Bonds to be Sold There will be sold in the United States $200,000,000 additional Domin ion of Canada bonds before the end of the year. Canada has a population of about 9,500,000 and the estimated na tional wealth is $19,000,000,000. The area of the Dominion is 3,603,910 square miles, compared with the Unit ed States area is 3,627,557 square miles, including Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico. Canada's debt is about $2, 000,000, or about $210 per capita, which is just a little more than the per capita debt of the United States. A new offering of securities this week that is attracting attention is that of the 7 per cent preferred stock of the Crown Willamette Paper Com pany. This is one of the strongest and most' prosperous institutions on the Pacific Coast and its shares have pre viously been closely held. This block of stock was purchased from one of the stockholders who had held it since the organization of the company. Another large bond issue of the , week was $45,000,000 Empire Gas & I Fuel Company 15-year gold 7 per cent bonds due May 1, 1937. These bonds were offered by an Eastern syndicate in which a number of Port land dealers participated, at 98.50 and interest, to yield 7.65 per cent. This issue wag heavily oversubscribed. The Empire Gas &Fuel Company is owned by the Cities Service Company, whose shares are traded in actively on the New York Stock Exchange and have recently been quoted around 200. Market is Strong The .strength of the bond market is indicated by the current quotations for Liberty bonds, which have touched par this week. The City of Pendleton, Oregon, on Wednesday sold $85,000 30-year 5 per j cent Bewer bonds and received a dozen bids. The bonds were purchased by the Harris Trust & Savings Bank of Chi cago at 102.16, which represents a new high mark for bonds of Oregon muni cipalities outside of Portland. This price makes the Baker County bonds offered by several Portland dealers this week look very attractive. Money is plentiful and cheap; the call rate in New York is around 3 per cent and time loans are made at 4 to 414 per cent. Settlement in Sight Successful consummation of long protracted negotiations between bank ers of the United States and Europe and the Obregon Administration for the funding and re-organization of the Mexican government's external debts and internal debt held abroad is ex pected in the financial district to re sult from the formal acceptance by Adolfo de la Huerta, Mexican Minister of Finance, of an invitation to attend a conference in New York late next month with American and foreign rep resentatives of the international bank ing committee. The amount of Mexi can Indebtedness, either involved di rectly or affected by the negotiations and inclusive of accrued interest and amortization charges in default, was authoritatively estimated last week at more than $758,000,000. A virtually complete compilation shows that Mex ico's direct debt, including guaranteed railway bonds, amounts to $322,000, 000, on which there was in default as of January 1, 1922, $111,000,000 in oerdue interest and more than $20,000, 000 in past-due sinking fund payments. This total includes the internal 3 per cent silver loan of 1876 and the inter nal 5 per cent silver loan of 1884, ag gregating $67,000,000; much of which are held abroad. In addition to these direct obliga tions there are outstanding $230,000, 000 railroad loans that do not bear the Mexican government's guaranty, on which $71,000,000 in overdue inter est and about $6,000,000 in amortiza tion charges are in default. The de faults apply to interest and sinking J fund payments, but technically the bulk of the principal is also in default under the terms of the indenture un der which most of the bonds were is sued. Public Debt Decreased - A decrease of $334,000,000 in the public debt during March was an nounced by the Treasury. On March 31 the public debt stood at $23,144,616, 493 as compared with $23,478,667,789 on February 28 and with $23,438,984, 351 on December 31, 191, the end of the previous quarter.

Of the $115, 000,000 total, only about $7,000,000 have been converted into Northern, Pacific 6's.

All of the Great Northern's share of the joint 6's have been converted into the 7 per cent ' bonds of that company, issued, simultaneously. BRITISH EMBASSY WILL !GE WASHINGTON, May 10.
