INVESTMENT DEMAND FOR CAPITAL GROWS
Foreign Interest in New York
 City Bond Issue
BOND FLOW TO NEW YORK
The Increasing Money Supplies Benefit Mercantile Paper Market-Mnny Encouraged over the Inyest-
 ment Market

New York, January 29.-Improvement in on last week, though in moderate de- gree, and afforded a basis for some oper- ations in stocks. The tendency was most strilSingly reflected in the bond depart ment of the stock exchange itself, the volume of dealings swelling to daily average seldom equaled in the last year. Each day brought it's announcement of sale of new bonds.
 Advices from abroad showed an active interest in foreign banking circles in the forthcoming New York city bond issue. Quotations for the new bonds when is- sued' at the stock exchange at pre- mium. foreshadowed the success of the Notation.
 Investment demand was fostered by the relaxing money market which was inf1u- enced by the heavy relux of bonds to New York from interior points, The mer- cantile paper market benefited from the increasing plenty of money supplies; thus correcting one of the discrepancies in the money market which had been a drag on commerce through period of apparent ease. The December foreign trade statement showed another discrep- ancy in course of correction, in the pill ing up of credit balance of $90 000, 900 available for our money market to draw on. That this was not availed of was explained by the stiffer money market In London, where the past year was in contrast to New York, with an active speculation, an unprecedented volume of new capital issues and expanding trade
 The course of the investment market has brought courage to needy seekers for new capital and has disseminated more cheerful sentiment in various directions Further hearings before the interstate commerce commission on the question of rate increases received less attention and the rehearng of the antitrust cases be- fore the supreme court was followed with comparatively langud interest.
 The fact that current bond sales show a rate of investment return which re- mains so high, compared with other pe- iiods. has not impaired the feeling of confidence begotten by renewed demand. Recognition by borrowers of the neces- sty of a higher price for capital had come to be regarded as a necessary pre- liminary to loosening the deadlock in investment markets. Signs that the question of price rather than lack of supply was at issue in enlisting capital came as relief to the apprehension.
 The tentative measure of monetary re- form issued by the hold of the mone- tary commission has received abundant attention In the financial community, with hopes of beneficial results.
 The complexity of the problem and the many contingencies still to meet before final success deprived the matter of any very active influence in the direct move ,ment of values. The break In prices in butter and eggs was accepted as favor able for the vexed problem of the Nigh cost of living.

SOUTHEASTERN LEAGUE HANGS IN BALANCE
Baseball Men Disagree Among
 Themselves
BISHOP M'CoY TALKS
Mnn Who Tried to Commit Suicide Suddenly Falls Very Much in Love With I.Ife-COIOneI Mar
 tin Is III

Anniston, January 22.-(Special.)-De spite the fact that there seems to be soms doubt as to the continuity of the South eastern Baseball association, there has heen no abatement of the determination on the part of Annistonians to have or sanized ball next season, and this city will have a representative at the meet ing to be held at Chattanooga within the next few days to decide whether or ether year
 The business men of the city have grown tired of putting up money for amateur or semi-professional sport, and they say that unless the fans give them an organized club this year this city will have to go practically without base ball, except that of the Alabama Presby terian college, the season of which will be limited The fans, however, have gotten busy. Secretary l.. c. Watson of the Chamber of Commerce has joined them and the business heads of the town are literally subscribing to the stock for the proposed organization of a company to finance a league team.
 Frank Moffett, manager of the Knoxville team, is said to be the biggest cloud that hangs over the league at present. Moi fett wants more games played at Knox Sille. He says that his town was the financial backbone of the league last year, it is reported and that unless he is given more games at home during the coming season by the schedule meeting at Chattanooga he will feel disposed to withdraw from the league. He is said to have deferred signing up with several good players on account of this fact.
 It is said that the fans of Asheville, N. C., are also rather reticent on tho proposition of retaining their franchise for another year. but it is known that Bristol, Tenn, stands ready to take up that franchise and it Is said that even if Knoxville and Asheville should withdraw Bristol and Anniston will fill the gap and Selma is also said to be considering an application for membership in the league.
 The teams of Asheville, Gadsden and Knoxville are to hold individual meetings in few days to decide on what they will do at Chattanooga. Rome, Ga., is de- termined already to stick, and Manager Hoyt is signing players for the coming season.

The Washington herald., 1911-02-18

In line with the mutual benefit policy
outlined in President Taft's reciprocity
treaty with the Dominion, the Canadian
government is taking steps to protect
the northern boundaries of the United
States from an opium smuggling traffic
that amounts to 2O.OO0 pounds a year.
Even when opium prepared for sInok
ing could legally be brought into this
country, the amounts of the drug snug
gled in from Canada was a source Of
constant worry to customs officials.
Since the law of February, 1909. which,
makes it impossible to legally bring into
this country opium for smoking pur-
poses. the Canadian smuggling traffic has
attained alarming proportions, according
to customs officials.
Faces Double Prosecution.
The attitude of Canada, which is con-
sidereG as unusual in its friendliness,
was evidenced recently when the min
lister of labor of the Dominion w. l..
Mackenzie King, offered an amendment
to the Canadian prohfbitory smoking
opium law, which will make It a crime
for any one in Canada to export the
drug. Thus, the smuggler faces a double
ProsecutiOn-Cne for exporting from
Canada and a second for smuggling into
the United States.
The double bar is expected to have a
marked effect in cutting down the traffic
Immediately after this country put its
anti-opium law into effect, about five
smOknS-Opium factories in Canada be-
gan to enrich their owners because of
~
called upon to supply.
At the time the anti-opium law went
into effect. 10000 pounds of the drug
was legally brought into this country
annually. To this amount 20,OO0 pounds
from Canada 2O,OO0 pounds along the
Pacific Coast, and 1900 pounds from
Mexico, smuggled into this country, must
be added to obtain the total amount used
a year in this country. AS the per cap
Ita distribution allowed by experts places
five pounds as the annual consumption
per smoker. this accounted for 6l,00O
opium smokers in this country.
Activities Have Increased.
Since the passage of the prohibitory
statute of February, 1909, the total con-
sumption has been materially reduced,
but naturally the activities of the SNUG
Glers from Canada. Mexico, and through
Pacific Coast ports have increased.
The action of the Canadian minister Of
labor. which was reported to the State
Department recently, also is looked UPON
as an indication of what Great Britain's ,
attitude will be at the conference of the
powers on the suppression of opium and
other habit-forming drugs at The Hague
next May.
Great Britain will be asked to abrO-
gate her treaty with China. by which
the latter country agreed to take seven
years in doing away with importatiCns
Of smoking opium and to reduce its own
production of the drug in like ratio Now
China announces its willingness and
ability to lop off two years from the
treaty specifications. Whether Greatf
Britain will agree to this sudden dimi-
mutton of her Indian opium trade will
not be known until after The Hague
conference.
