MONTHLY FINANCIAL LETTER
Issued by Spencer Trask & Co.,

Us by MIR. G. H. Dawson,
Jr., Cambridge Cor.

The bond section, particularly of
the security markets, closed the
month just ended in much more
cheerful and hopeful mood. This,
in our judgment, is not because
there occurred in April any change
of moment to produce better feel
ing, or that any incident of stirring
import arose to startle the market
accumulated and accumulatiIg sur
plus has at last told OIL the banks
and financial institutions, and forced
them to put out their money where
it will earn a reasonable return.
With trade in general on a reced-
ing scale good commercial paper
recently became scarce, and with all
but stagnation reigning in the stock
market, banks found it Improbable
to loan their funds in the shape of
day-to-day money at the prevailing
low rates. Thus the way was clear
ed for short term notes, which, be-
sides enjoying quick market, could
be bought to yield so per cent.more
than good commercial paper had
been bringing, and 100 per cent.
more than could be obtained on call
loans.
So eager were the banks for
these notes that it took only a
comparatively short time after the
movement had gained headway, to
absorb the floating supply, large
though that was in consequence of
the many new issues which have
been poured upon the market dur
ing the whole of the present year.
This demand has had the natural
result of forcing prices up to a
point where the yield is now in
many cases none too generous, con-
sidering the security offered, and
it looks as if no further advance of
material proportions can be expec-
ted in that quarter. This is being
better appreciated, and will in large
measure explain why in the last few
days institutional buying of standard
bonds-both railroad and municipal
has become noticeably heavy, ,and
has begun to justify the forecasts

with the statistics which we have
just given, confirm us in our be-
lief that we are on the threshold of
a broad bond market.
The indications are that busi-
ness will not show material i'm
provement for some time to come,
and thus money promises to remain
easy for an indifinite period. Ii
good crops, favorable decisions by
the Supreme Court, and the normal
needs of a population of ninety mill
lions should improve trade condi-
tions more quickly than now appear:
likely, the money market should ev-
en- then be only temporarily affect
ed, as our heavy exports, which it is
estimated will be double those of
last fiscal year, are piling up large
credit balance abroad, upon which
we could draw if necessity arose.
Thus all the indices point to an
active bond market, in which the
better grade of bonds promises to
show the greatest animation in the
immediate future.
The forces which are on the con-
structive side of the bond market
do not generally make for better
stock markets, but in this instance
we should not be surprised to see
a moderate improvement in those
stocks whose margin of safety is
sufficient to make present divi-
dends reasonably safe, even through
further period of business lassi-

Banquet al Hur|ock.

The j. E. F. Club of Hurlock
held its annual banquet on Thurs
day evening, at the Glen Oak Hotel,
with the husbands of them embers
as guests. The banquet was pre-
ceded by a literary program, held
at the beautiful home of Mr.. and
Mrs. Jasper Thompson. The home
was tastefully decorated, the Club
colors, green and white, predominant
ing. The program consisted of mu-
sic, both vocal and instrumental.
Several interesting papers, and ad-
dresses upon the topics of the day,
and a debate, Resolve, That Wo-
mems Clubs are Necessary to the
Present Age. Time given to each
speaker was limited to two min
utes. AS was natural, the ladies
had the affirmative and the gentle
men the negative side of the ques-
ton, and one of the gentlemen op-
ened his remarks with Fellow col
leagues, we are BEATEN" and was
there determined by those fellow
colleagues "a gutter"
At 10 p m. the march to the ho-
tel was begun, where bountiful
collation. was spread by the new
proprietor, Mr.. Rutter. A welcome
to the husbands was extended in
a neat address by the president, Mrs.
George Trice, and she also took oc
casion to gracefully resign her chair
to her successor for the ensuing
year, Mrs. w. d. Smith. Toasts
were offered by Prof. Webb, Rev.

man and others.
AT late hour all repaired to
their homes, voting the banquet a
decided success, and expressing their
appreciation of the kind hospitality
of Mr.. and Mrs. Thompson.

has made an arrangement whereby
the city will aid in this general
cleaning p,and it is hoped that our
people in every section of the city
will rally to the call and let us have
a house and yard cleaning which
will be a thorough one. The May
or's call is printed below:
To the Citizens of Salisbury:
Now that Spring has arrived. it
behooves every citizen of Salisbury

ughly cleaned up and to use paint
and lime freely, and to gather up
all rubbish that has accumulated
during the Winter months. We have
arranged for the city carts to aid in
this work and to start in next Mon
day. The first three days will be de
voted to this work-Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday. In all that
section of. the city lying on the
West side of Division street and
on the East side of river to the city
limits, clean up and pile the rub
bish in the cutters Monday next be-
fore one o'clock p. m.
On Tuesday, all that section lying
on East side of Division street and
to Humphreys Lake to the city
limits, before one o'clock.
On Wednesday, all that section
including Camden, South Salisbury.
and California, before one o'clock.
The city carts will start in on Mon
day at one o'clock and clean the
streets of all the refuse placed
there from the yards and lots.
1t is the intention of the Council
after this cleaning up to make an
of all premises, ,and those
who have not cleaned up will be
required to do so by the State |
Board of Health. Let us make this
the banner year for cleanliness and
healthfulness in Salisbury. Anyone
who places refuse in the cutters be-
fore or after the time specified will
be dealt with according to the Or
dinances of the city. 1t is hoped
that all the people of Salisbury will

municipal house-cleaning week CON
Quoted under the auspices of the
Carlisle Civic Club, and formally
brought to an end today, has been
so successful that it will be made
an annual institution. The Civic
Club, which was backed up by reso-
buttons and. active support from the
Councils and Board of Health, spent
about $500 on their own part in
the cleaning work, which was in
charge of a committee formed of

man; Mrs. John w. Plank, Mrs. ].

lard F. Thompson, Fourth Ward.
The crusade against the house fly
and mosquito will be continued
through the summer. Already the
determination of these pests has
proved quite effective.

ment rendered much aid by hauling

SYNOPSIS.

A foolish young tenderfoot becomes
fascinated with the bold, artful wife OF a
drunken prospector in a western mining
town. They prepare to elope in blind
ing blizzard but are confronted by the
maudlin husband. He is shot by the
wife, but the chivalrous boy pins
note to the body taking the crime
upon himself In their fight to the
railroad station the woman's horse
falls exhausted; the youth puts her
on his own and follows hanging to the
stirrup strap. Seeing he is an impede
ment. the woman thrusts her escort into
a snow drift and rides on. Half-frozen
he stumbles into the railroad station just
as the train bears the woman away.
Twenty-Five years later. this man. George
Gormly. Ii a multi millionaire In New
York. He meets Eleanor Haldane, a
beautiful and wealthy settlement worker,
and co-operates with her in her work.
Gormly becomes owner of a steamship
line and finds himself frustrated in pier
and track extension plans by grating all
dermen. backed by the Gotham Traction
Company An automobile accident on a
stormy Christmas eve brings the Hal
danes to his country home. Gormly
makes the marooned party comfortable.
