HEALTHY AFTER A
FEVER|SH. RISE
Conservative Element Pleased
With Return TO Normal
Conditions in Market.

There was a lessened activity of bust
ness in the local securities market this
week. Although the transactions were
not as large as they have been In the
past few months, the movement In
prices was upward TO some extent
The market as a whole had a sort of
a duh tone, but there was a continue
ton of strong buying in some of the
issues. Especial features of strength
were, the gas stocks and the underlying
issues.
Public Service stock received a sort
of shock this week. This stock made a
kind of a runaway of it last week, and
up until Wednesday of this week, the
stock going as high as 10, a very high
price. This was considered by all as
unhealthy to market conditions, and a
reaction set in about Thursday morn
ing. the stock selling back to 107. The
reaction was looked for. 1t was healthy,
as it made the conservative element
feel easier. The market as a whole

entirely too rapidly after emerging

were very fast, and new high records
were made in many instances aside
from the eager buying.
But this week the excitement cleared
and affairs began to settle to their nor
NAL basis again. Although the reaction
which set in in the middle part of the
week put prices down a little, the
closing figures show a tendency toward
advancement for the week.
A runaway affair is not good, and
the sudden halt of it was appreciated
by all of the local brokers. Essex and
Hudson and South Jersey Gas and
Electric are selling eX-dividend at 4
per cent; Hudson County at 3 per cent.

DAVIS COUNTY FRUIT
HIT HARD BY FROST

Kaysville. April 50.-The heavy frost
last night has practically put the horti-
culturists Of Davis county. whose chief
products arc peaches. apriC0ts and cher
ries. out Of business for this year The
apple trees have not been injured IL IS
believed. and there is q possibility that
there VIII be some plums, pears and smaI
fruit left. Leroy p. Marsh. county fruit
inspector. said this afternoon. in answer
to q question as 20 the extent OF the dam
age. that he mad been out through the
orchards of the Clearfield district. where
moss OF the fruit Of the county is pro-
duced. and that he had failed to fId
anything TO justify the nope that there
VIII be any stone fruit produced this year
The ruin Of peaches. apTicots and cher
ries IS complete said Mr. Marsh. "The
loss due to last nights frost can be pretty
accurately estimated when il is known
that we would have shipped from Clear
tleid this year about fifty carloads o.
peaches probably two cars OF apriccts.
besides large quantities or cherries. The
peaches would have been worth about
500 per car and the apricots over g 000
car. 50 that in these two items alone
the loss will be not far from $4,000 Prob
ably another few thousands were lost on
cherries. while plums and pruues win be
found to have suffered.
The prospects remain good. however.
for fine crop of apples. and we ought
to be able to ship forty 10 fifty cars n
that fruit The growers that have in
terviewed. and whose orchards have been
visited. have things in splendid shape FOR
the apple crop. The frost came too early
to hurt the buds. and with the improved
conditions as TO spraying, etc. we should
this year have q record crop Of apples
throughout Davis county. SO far as
have been able 10 learn. Strawberries and
other small fruits have not been seriously
injured
other Sections Suffer.
From reports that have been received
today from other sections of the county
il is safe To say that the conditions that
prevail in Clarified obtain in other fruit
growing districts. and it IS practically
certain that. taking the county over from
$4,000 TO 100000 damage has been sus-
tanned as a result OF the one night Of
frost.
