Tomatoes are 25c to 35c lower at $1.25(31.40
per crate. ,
Limes are lower, 50c to 75c per basket as h
result of increased receipts. The quotation for i
today being |1.75@:2.00 per basket.

. log purposes at $3-00(^3.50 each.

WASHINGTON, I>. C., .Iuup 14.—A sur-
vey has been undertaken by the Govern-
ment looking to putting its "dollar a
year volunteers ou substantial salaries.
I hese men heretofore have accepted nom-
inal compensation under a law forbidding
the Government to a- < cpt services without
pay.
Information on the several hundred of
these men now serving in the W ar Indus-
tries Hoard and other war agencies, in-
cluding their duties, connections with pri-
vate interests aud the value of their serv-
ices, Ibis been gathered by the House
" ays and Means Committee in response
to urgent requests of a number of Gov-
ernment officials that the nominal pay
system be abolished in the luterest of el-
firieny and of promoting direct responsi-
bility to the Government.
Reports of department beads show, it
is said, that most dollar a-year volunteer*
heretofore have been paid much higher
salaries than the Government could afford
to give, even if the suggestion of several
department heads for a limit is
adopted.

WASHINGTON, P. C., June 14.—Gov-
ernment control of the distribution of steel
will not be permitted to retard the pro-
duction of petroleum and oil gas whicn
are considered essential to the war, the
oil division of the Fuel Administration an-
nounced today. The petroleum industry
is warned, however, that every pound of
ste.* or other essential commodity diverted
from ships, airplanes and munitions will
hold back the Government's program.
"Therefore," the announcement contin-
ues, "no truly patriotic citizen will con-
sume these valuable commodities waste-
fully."

Armour and Company
6% Serial Convertible Gold Debentures
Total Authorized Issue §60,000,000
Dated June 15. 1918. Due in six equal annual installments June 15, 19W, to 1924, inclusive. Interest payable June
15th and December 15th. Principal and interest payable in United States gold coin at the Continental and
Commercial Trust and Savings Bank, Chicago, or the Trustee's Agent in New York City. Coupon
debentures in interchangeable denominations of SI,000, $500 and $100 with privilege of reg-
istration as to principal only.
INTEREST PAYABLE WITHOUT DEDUCTION' FOR ANY FEDERAL NORMAL INCOME TAX NOW OR HERE-
AFTER DEDUCTIBLE AT THE SOURCE NOT \Y EXCESS OF 2%.
CONTINENTAL AND COMMERCIAL TRUST AND SAVINGS BANK, CHICAGO, TRUSTEE
Redeemable at par at the option of the Company on any interest date upon 60 days' notice, as a whole or in series, in
which latter event the Company must call for redemption all the debentures of one or more of the
series first maturing.
Convertible on and after September 1, 1918, par for par, into Armour and Company 7 per
cent cumulative preferred stock, which is exempt from personal
property tax in the State of Illinois.
Further information in regard to this issue is given in a letter of Mr. J. Ogden Armour, President of
Armour and Company, from which we quote as follows:
The entire proceeds of this issue will be devoted to the reduction of current liabilities, thereby not
increasing present indebtedness.
These debentures will be the direct obligations of Armour and Company. Total assets as of October
27, 1917 (the close of the company's last fiscal year), were $314,174,135.89. There is no lien of any kind
upon the property of the company except its first closed mortgage (dated June 1, 1909, due June 1,
1939) for $50,000,000, which is a lien upon approximately $60,000,000 out of a total of $103,801,644.88
capital assets.
During the last three years the average annual earnings of the company, available for interest
charges have been approximately $21,950,000 and the average, annual interest charge (including interest
on the bonds) has been approximately $4,480,000. During this period over $46,000,000 net earnings have
been retained in the business, after paying cash dividends amounting to $6,000,000. In 1917 earnings
from sources within the United States applicable to interest were over $27,000,000 on a gross volume
of business amounting to $575,000,000. The earnings for 1917 do not include any revenue from business
originating in South America or other foreign countries, the volume of which business amounted to ap-
proximately $300,000,000.
The Trust Agreement securing these debentures will provide, among other things, that no additional
mortgage shall be placed on the properties and assets of the Company, which does not include these
debentures in the lien of such mortgage.
The Agreement will furthermore contain a covenant that current assets of the company shall be main-
tained in an aggregate amount equal to at least one and one-half times all current liabilities, including
these debentures.
The 7 per cent Cumulative Preferred Stock, into which these debentures are convertible, may be re-
deemed by the Company at 115 and accrued dividends. The total presently to be authorized will be
$60,000,000, all of which will be held in the treasury of the company to be available for exchange for
these debentures. I

WASHINGTON, D. C., June 14.—Secre-
tary McAdoo today denied the Senate's re
quest for information as to what steps are ,
being taken to stabilize the value of the J
American dollur abroad. Asked for the In- I
formation in a Senate resolution, he replied I
that In the opinion of President Wilson It I
would be Inadvisable to supply It at this
time for fear it might reach enemy eoun- I
tries.
Agreements, Secretary McAdoo said, have
been made with some neutral countries iu
Europe and $outh America looking to pro-
tection of the dollar's value and negotia-
tions are proceeding with others.
"Howeven, I am directed by the Presi-
dent to say," he wrote, "that In his Judg-
ment. it would be incompatible with the
public interest to make a public record at
this time of the terms of such agreements
already made or in progress of negotia-
tion, or of the other steps that have been
tnken or are In contemplation • • *
chiefly because of the very great value such
information would be to the enemy."
