LOCAL FINANCIAL GOSSIP

Much dissatisfaction has arisen among
the local brokers over what is termed by
them the bond situation" Under exist
ing conditions on the local exchange
bonds are quoted and sold without ref
erence to the accrued interest. The re-
suit IS that as the dividend period ap-
prOaches the demand is increased and
sometimes the price, and when the divi-
dend date passes the price OF the bonds
is affected By the cessation in trading
and the payment Of interest. often as
much as one 10 three dollars a hundred
In addition, It frequently happens that
dispute arises between the broker and
his client on the point whether The in
terest goes with the sale, especially when
delivery OF the security Is near the date
Of -..e payment OF the dividend
The matter came TO an issue yesterday
on the local exchange when Charles J.
Bel offered a motion, which was adopted.
calling upon the governing committee 20
make ruling upon the question and re-
port it TO the exchange. It is expected
that this report viii be similar TO action
by several OF the exchanges in other
cities. that when bonds are sold the
transaction shall be on the market price
"lus the interest accrued 10 the date OF
Uelivery-sale with interest" as the
phrase Is II is the opinion Of most o.
the local brokers that the adoption OF
this rule viii do away with one Of the
troublesome features Of trading in Sc
curities Tor clients, who frequently are
dissatisfied with the disposition OF the
interest II il goes one way. and the broker
eQuaIly dissatisfied when it goes the other
way
The ruling expected TO follow from Mr.
Bells motion VIII have the obvious effect
Of keeping the prices Of bonds more stable
and OF lessening the speculation IN them
merely upon the accruing interest
Trading on the local exchange yester-
day was quite restricted and without
much significance. The public utility
stocks and some others went through
the semi-annual phase Of being marked
'ex-dividend, a" which means the subtrac-
ton OF the amount OF the dividend from
the quoted price OF the shares.

Salt, along with nearly every other
necessity Of life, has become more
expensive as a result Of the Aldrich.
Payne-Smoot bill. Dealers are be-
ing notified that on coarse grades
prices have been increased from rs
ceatS to $l.25 ton, while table and
dairy grades have been advanced
from So to 1925 ton.
The approximate consumption OF
salt in the United States is 100000
tons each year, so that if the average
increase is but so cents ton the
trust will add S1,25O,OUO to its an
nual profits.
A stubborn fight was made by the
democrats during the revision of the
tariff at the special session for free
salt, and when it was seen that it was
impossible, it was hoped a substan-
tial downward revision on that seized.
ule might be secured.

Tells About San Jos. Scale

The State chronological Commits
sion is putting out a circular explain.
ing what San Jose Scale is, the dam
age it does to fruit trees and the best
methods for eradicating it. The
samphlet is prepared after long in
vestigation and is intended to be of
assistance to fruit growers of the
state.
Within the last few years San Jose
scale has secured a foothold in Kan.
Sas and in a few counties has done
great damage. the last legislature
considered the situation serious
enough to justify an appropriation to
be used in the eradication of the pest.
In order that the commission NAV &C.
comPlish as much as possible, it sug-
gestS that whenever a fruitgrower
finds a suspicious looking twig, he cut
1t oft and send it to the commission in
a tight box, stating where it came
from and some of the circumstances
in which he found it.
The pamphlet gives all of the solu-
tons used in killing the scale and
tells how they may be made y any
fruit grower and used by him without
the aid of an expert. The commits
sion would welcome for requests for
the circular, the entire edition Of
which has been pllced in the hands
of Walter Wellhouse, secretary of the
State Horticultural society for dis
tribution
"The San Jose Scale" says MI.
Wellhouse' lis probably the worst foe
with which the horticulturaIist has to
deal. This insect was accidentally
introduced into the United States
from Northern Gilman the early 7O's
since which time it has spread into
most of the states and territories. 1t
has appeared in our state, so far as
discovered, In only few counties,
and it is the purpose of the Entomo-
logical Commission to eradicate this
pest if possible or at least to confne
it to the areas already infested; this
can be done only by the hearty CO.
operation of our citizens. It is for
the advancement of this work that
his circulars issued"
